¹A prorok Elizeus zavolal jedného zo synov prorokov a riekol mu: Prepáš svoje bedrá, vezmi túto nádobku oleja do svojej ruky a idi do Rámot-gileáda.

¹And Elisha the prophet hath called to one of the sons of the prophets, and saith to him, `Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead,

²A keď ta prijdeš, obzri sa tam po Jehu-vovi, synovi Jozafata, syna Nimšiho. A keď prijdeš k nemu, urobíš to, aby vstal spomedzi svojich bratov, a zavedieš ho do najodľahlejšej izby.

²and thou hast gone in there, and see thou there Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and thou hast gone in, and caused him to rise out of the midst of his brethren, and brought him in to the inner part of an inner-chamber,

³Potom vezmeš nádobku s olejom a vyleješ na jeho hlavu a povieš: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pomazal som ťa za kráľa nad Izraelom! A hneď otvoríš dvere a utečieš a nebudeš čakať.

³and taken the vial of oil, and poured on his head, and said, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel; and thou hast opened the door, and fled, and dost not wait.`

⁴Tak odišiel mládenec, služobník prorokov, do Rámot-gileáda.

⁴And the young man goeth — the young man the prophet — to Ramoth-Gilead,

⁵A keď prišiel, hľa, sedeli tam velitelia vojska. A riekol: Veliteľu, mám ti niečo povedať. A Jehu povedal: Komu zo všetkých nás? A odpovedal: Tebe, veliteľu.

⁵and cometh in, and lo, chiefs of the force are sitting, and he saith, `I have a word unto thee, O chief!` and Jehu saith, `Unto which of all of us?` and he saith, `Unto thee, O chief.`

⁶Vtedy vstal a vošiel do domu. A vylial olej na jeho hlavu a riekol mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Pomazal som ťa za kráľa nad ľudom Hospodinovým, nad Izraelom.

⁶And he riseth and cometh in to the house, and he poureth the oil on his head, and saith to him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I have anointed thee for king unto the people of Jehovah, unto Israel,

⁷A zbiješ dom Achaba, svojho pána, a tak pomstím krv svojich služobníkov prorokov i krv všetkých služobníkov Hospodinových na ruke Jezábelinej.

⁷and thou hast smitten the house of Ahab thy lord, and I have required the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, from the hand of Jezebel;

⁸A zahynie celý dom Achabov, a vytnem Achabovi močiaceho na stenu, zavretého i opusteného, v Izraelovi.

⁸and perished hath all the house of Ahab, and I have cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,

⁹A dám, aby bol dom Achabov ako dom Jeroboáma, syna Nebátovho, a jako dom Bášu, syna Achiášovho.

⁹and I have given up the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha son of Ahijah,

¹⁰A Jezábeľ budú žrať psi na podiele Jizreela, a nebude toho, kto by pochoval. A otvoriac dvere utiekol.

¹⁰and Jezebel do the dogs eat in the portion of Jezreel, and there is none burying;` and he openeth the door and fleeth.

¹¹Keď potom vyšiel Jehu k služobníkom svojho pána, vraveli mu: Či je pokoj? Prečo prišiel k tebe ten blázon? A povedal im: Vy znáte človeka i jeho reč.

¹¹And Jehu hath gone out unto the servants of his lord, and [one] saith to him, `Is there peace? wherefore came this madman unto thee?` and he saith unto them, `Ye have known the man and his talk.`

¹²Ale oni povedali: To je klam. Nože nám povedz! A riekol: Tak a tak mi povedal a riekol: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pomazal som ťa za kráľa nad Izraelom.

¹²And they say, `False, declare, we pray thee, to us;` and he saith, `Thus and thus spake he unto me, saying, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel.`

¹³Vtedy vzali rýchle každý svoje rúcho a prestreli pod neho na vrch, na holé schodov a zatrúbiac na trúbu povedali: Jehu kraľuje!

¹³And they haste and take each his garment, and put [it] under him at the top of the stairs, and blow with a trumpet, and say, `Reigned hath Jehu!`

¹⁴A tak sa sprisahal Jehu, syn Jozafata, syna Nimšiho, proti Jorámovi, vtedy, keď strážil Jorám v Rámot-gileáda spolu so všetkým Izraelom pred Hazaelom, sýrskym kráľom.

¹⁴And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspireth against Joram — (and Joram was keeping in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram,

¹⁵Ale kráľ Jorám sa bol navrátil, aby sa hojil v Jizreele zo svojich rán, ktoré mu zadali Sýrovia, keď bojoval s Hazaelom, sýrskym kráľom. A Jehu povedal: Ak je vaša vôľa, nech nevyjde nikto z mesta, kto by utiekol, aby to išiel oznámiť v Jizreele.

¹⁵and king Joram turneth back to be healed in Jezreel, of the wounds with which the Aramaeans smite him, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram) — and Jehu saith, `If it is your mind, let not an escaped one go out from the city, to go to declare [it] in Jezreel.`

¹⁶Potom vysadol Jehu na voz a išiel do Jizreela, lebo tam ležal Jorám. A Achaziáš, judský kráľ, bol prišiel dolu navštíviť Joráma.

¹⁶And Jehu rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, for Joram is lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram.

¹⁷A pozorujúci strážca stál na veži v Jizreele. A keď uvidel zástup Jehu-vov, keď prichádzal, povedal: Vidím nejaký zástup. A Jorám riekol: Vezmi jazdca a pošli im oproti, aby sa opýtal, či je pokoj?

¹⁷And the watchman is standing on the tower in Jezreel, and seeth the company of Jehu in his coming, and saith, `A company I see;` and Joram saith, `Take a rider and send to meet them, and let him say, Is there peace?`

¹⁸A tedy odišiel jazdec na koni oproti nemu a povedal: Takto hovorí kráľ: Či znamená váš príchod pokoj? A Jehu odpovedal: Čo tebe do pokoja? Obráť sa a poď za mnou. A pozorujúci strážca oznámil a riekol: Posol prišiel až k nim, ale sa nevracia.

¹⁸and the rider on the horse goeth to meet him, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?` and Jehu saith, `What — to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.` And the watchman declareth, saying, `The messenger came unto them, and he hath not returned.`

¹⁹Vtedy poslal druhého jazdca na koni, ktorý keď prišiel k nim, povedal: Takto hovorí kráľ: Či pokoj? Ale Jehu zase odpovedal: Čo tebe do pokoja? Obráť sa a poď za mnou.

¹⁹And he sendeth a second rider on a horse, and he cometh in unto them, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?` and Jehu saith, `What — to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.`

²⁰A pozorujúci strážca oznámil a riekol: Prišiel až k nim, ale sa nevracia. Ale pohon je ako pohon Jehu-va, syna Nimšiho, lebo šialene ženie.

²⁰And the watchman declareth, saying, `He came unto them, and he hath not returned, and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for with madness he driveth.`

²¹Vtedy riekol Jorám: Zapriahni! A zapriahol do voza. A tak vyšiel Jorám, izraelský kráľ, aj Achaziáš, judský kráľ, každý na svojom voze, a vyjdúc vústrety Jehu-vovi stretli sa s ním na podiele Nábota Jizreelského.

²¹And Jehoram saith, `Harness;` and his chariot is harnessed, and Jehoram king of Israel goeth out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they go out to meet Jehu, and find him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

²²A stalo sa, keď uvidel Jorám Jehu-va, že povedal: Či pokoj, Jehu? A on odpovedal: Čo jaký pokoj, dokiaľ sa páchajú smilstvá Jezábeli, tvojej matere a jej čarodejstvá tak mnohé?

²²And it cometh to pass, at Jehoram`s seeing Jehu, that he saith, `Is there peace, Jehu?` and he saith, `What [is] the peace, while the whoredoms of Jezebel thy mother, and her witchcrafts, are many?`

²³Vtedy obrátil Jorám svoje ruky, dal sa na útek a riekol Achaziášovi: Zrada, Achaziášu!

²³And Jehoram turneth his hands, and fleeth, and saith unto Ahaziah, `Deceit, O Ahaziah!`

²⁴Ale Jehu pochytiac lučište ranil Joráma medzi jeho ramenami, tak že strela prenikla jeho srdce, a sklesol dohromady na svojom voze.

²⁴And Jehu hath filled his hand with a bow, and smiteth Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goeth out from his heart, and he boweth down in his chariot.

²⁵Potom riekol Jehu Bidekárovi, svojmu vojvodcovi: Vezmi, hoď ho na podiel poľa Nábota Jizreelského. Lebo rozpamätaj sa, jako sme kedysi, ja a ty, jazdili spolu po páre za Achabom, jeho otcom, že Hospodin vyniesol proti nemu toto bremä.

²⁵And [Jehu] saith unto Bidkar his captain, `Lift up, cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite — for, remember, I and thou were riding together after Ahab his father, and Jehovah lifted upon him this burden:

²⁶Je isté, že som videl krv Nábotovu i krv jeho synov včera, hovorí Hospodin; a tak ti zaplatím na tomto podiele, hovorí Hospodin. Preto teraz vezmi, hoď ho na podiel poľa, podľa slova Hospodinovho.

²⁶Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen yesternight — the affirmation of Jehovah — yea, I have recompensed to thee in this portion — the affirmation of Jehovah; — and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of Jehovah.`

²⁷A keď to videl Achaziáš, judský kráľ, utekal cestou zahradného domu. Ale Jehu ho prenasledoval a povedal: Aj toho, zabite ho! A tak ho ranil na voze na svahu vrchu Gúra, ktorý je pri Jibleáme. A utiekol do Megidda a zomrel tam.

²⁷And Ahaziah king of Judah hath seen, and fleeth the way of the garden-house, and Jehu pursueth after him, and saith, `Smite him — also him — in the chariot,` in the going up to Gur, that [is] Ibleam, and he fleeth to Megiddo, and dieth there,

²⁸A jeho služobníci ho zaviezli do Jeruzalema a pochovali ho v jeho hrobe s jeho otcami v meste Dávidovom.

²⁸and his servants carry him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and bury him in his burying-place, with his fathers, in the city of David.

²⁹A v jedenástom roku Joráma, syna Achabovho, začal kraľovať Achaziáš nad Júdom.

²⁹And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab reign did Ahaziah over Judah.

³⁰Potom prišiel Jehu do Jizreela. A keď počula o tom Jezábeľ, nalíčila svoje oči líčidlom a ozdobila svoju hlavu a vyzerala oblokom.

³⁰And Jehu cometh in to Jezreel, and Jezebel hath heard, and putteth her eyes in paint and maketh right her head, and looketh out through the window.

³¹A keď vošiel Jehu do brány, riekla: Či je pokoj, Zimri, vrahu svojho pána?

³¹And Jehu hath come into the gate, and she saith, `Was there peace [to] Zimri — slayer of his lord?`

³²A on pozdvihnúc svoju tvár k obloku povedal: Kto je so mnou, kto? A vyzerali na neho dvaja či traja komorníci.

³²And he lifteth up his face unto the window, and saith, `Who [is] with me? — who?` and look out unto him do two [or] three eunuchs;

³³A riekol: Shoďte ju! A shodili ju, a niečo z jej krvi strieklo na stenu i na kone. A zašliapal ju.

³³And he saith, `Let her go;` and they let her go, and [some] of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and he treadeth her down.

³⁴Keď potom vošiel a najedol sa a napil, povedal: Nože pozrite, kde je tá zlorečená, a pochovajte ju, lebo je dcéra kráľova.

³⁴And he cometh in, and eateth, and drinketh, and saith, `Look after, I pray you, this cursed one, and bury her, for she [is] a king`s daughter.`

³⁵A tak odišli, aby ju pochovali, ale nenašli z nej iba lebku, nohy a päste rúk.

³⁵And they go to bury her, and have not found of her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.

³⁶A keď sa navrátili a oznámili mu to, povedal: Je to slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré hovoril skrze svojho služobníka Eliáša Tišbänského povediac: Na podiele Jizreela budú žrať psi telo Jezábelino.

³⁶And they turn back, and declare to him, and he saith, `The word of Jehovah it [is], that He spake by the hand of this servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel do the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel,

³⁷A bude vraj mŕtve telo Jezábelino jako hnoj na tvári poľa na podiele Jizreela, takže nepovedia: Toto je Jezábeľ.

³⁷and the carcase of Jezebel hath been as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they say not, This [is] Jezebel.`
