¹A hľa, v tom prišiel muž Boží z Judska so slovom Hospodinovým do Bét-ela, keď práve stál Jeroboám nad oltárom, aby kadil.

¹And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

²A zavolal proti oltáru slovom Hospodinovým a riekol: Oltáru, oltáru, takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, syn sa narodí domu Dávidovmu, ktorému bude meno Joziáš, ktorý bude obetovať na tebe kňazov výšin, ktorí kadia na tebe kadivo, i ľudské kosti budú páliť na tebe.

²And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall they burn upon thee.

³A dal i znamenie toho istého dňa povediac: Toto je znamenie, že Hospodin hovoril skrze mňa: Hľa, oltár sa roztrhne, a vysype sa popol, ktorý je na ňom.

³And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Jehovah hath spoken: Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

⁴A stalo sa, keď počul kráľ slovo muža Božieho, ktoré volal proti oltáru v Bét-ele, že Jeroboám vystrel svoju ruku sponad oltára a povedal: Chyťte ho! Ale uschla jeho ruka, ktorú vystrel proti nemu, a nemohol ju zase stiahnuť k sebe.

⁴And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him.

⁵A oltár sa roztrhol, a vysypal sa popol z oltára podľa znamenia, ktoré dal muž Boží slovom Hospodinovým.

⁵The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.

⁶Vtedy odpovedal kráľ a riekol mužovi Božiemu: Upokoj, prosím, tvár Hospodina, svojho Boha, a modli sa za mňa, aby sa zase vrátila moja ruka ku mne. A tak modliac sa upokojil muž Boží tvár Hospodinovu, a ruka kráľova sa vrátila k nemu a bola jako predtým.

⁶And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

⁷Potom hovoril kráľ mužovi Božiemu: Poď so mnou do domu a posilni sa pokrmom, a dám ti dar.

⁷And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

⁸Ale muž Boží povedal kráľovi: Ani keby si mi dal polovicu svojho domu, nevošiel by som s tebou ani by som nejedol chleba ani by som nepil vody na tomto mieste.

⁸And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

⁹Lebo tak mi prikázal slovom Hospodinovým povediac: Nebudeš jesť chleba ani nebudeš piť vody ani sa nevrátiš cestou, ktorou si ta išiel.

⁹for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.

¹⁰A tak odišiel inou cestou a nevrátil sa cestou, ktorou bol prišiel do Bét-ela.

¹⁰So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.

¹¹Ale býval v Bét-ele nejaký starý prorok, ktorého syn prišiel a rozprával mu všetko to, čo učinil muž Boží toho dňa v Bét-ele, i slová, ktoré hovoril kráľovi, a porozprával ich svojmu otcovi.

¹¹Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father.

¹²A ich otec im hovoril: Kde ktorou cestou išiel? A jeho synovia videli cestu, ktorou išiel muž Boží, ktorý to bol prišiel z Judska.

¹²And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, that came from Judah.

¹³Vtedy povedal svojim synom: Osedlajte mi osla, a osedlali mu osla, a sadol na neho.

¹³And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon.

¹⁴A išiel za mužom Božím a našiel ho sedieť pod tým dubom a riekol mu: Či si to ty ten muž Boží, ktorý prišiel z Judska? A on odpovedal: Som.

¹⁴And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

¹⁵A riekol mu: Poď so mnou do domu a pojedz chlieb.

¹⁵Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

¹⁶Ale on povedal: Nemôžem sa vrátiť s tebou a vojsť s tebou ani nebudem jesť chleba ani nebudem piť u teba vody na tomto mieste.

¹⁶And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

¹⁷Lebo mám prikázané slovom Hospodinovým: Nebudeš jesť chleba ani tam nebudeš piť vody, nevrátiš sa tak, aby si išiel cestou, ktorou si ta išiel.

¹⁷for it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

¹⁸Na to mu riekol: I ja som prorok ako ty, a anjel mi hovoril slovom Hospodinovým a riekol: Vráť ho so sebou do svojho domu, aby pojedol chlieb a napil sa vody. Luhal mu.

¹⁸And he said unto him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.

¹⁹A vrátil sa s ním a jedol chlieb v jeho dome a pil vodu.

¹⁹So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

²⁰A stalo sa, keď oni sedeli za stolom, že sa stalo slovo Hospodinovo k prorokovi, ktorý ho vrátil,

²⁰And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came unto the prophet that brought him back;

²¹a zavolal na muža Božieho, ktorý prišiel z Judska, a riekol: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Preto, že si učinil na odpor tomu, čo povedaly ústa Hospodinove, a neostríhal si prikázania, ktoré ti prikázal Hospodin, tvoj Bôh,

²¹and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the commandment which Jehovah thy God commanded thee,

²²ale si sa vrátil a jedol si chlieb a pil si vodu na mieste, o ktorom ti hovoril: Nejedz tam chleba ani nepi vody, nevojde tvoje mŕtve telo do hrobu tvojich otcov.

²²but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy body shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

²³A stalo sa, keď zjedol chlieb a keď vypil, že mu osedlal osla, prorokovi, ktorého bol vrátil.

²³And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back.

²⁴A išiel, a našiel ho lev na ceste a usmrtil ho, a jeho mŕtve telo bolo povrhnuté na ceste, a osol stál vedľa neho, i lev stál vedľa mŕtvoly.

²⁴And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the body.

²⁵A hľa, nejakí mužovia išli tade a videli mŕtvolu, povrhnutú na ceste, i ľva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly, a prijdúc hovorili to v meste, v ktorom býval ten starý prorok.

²⁵And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

²⁶Keď to počul prorok, ktorý ho to bol vrátil s cesty, povedal: To je ten muž Boží, ktorý sa sprotivil ústam Hospodinovým; preto ho vydal Hospodin ľvovi, a dolámal ho a usmrtil ho podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré mu hovoril.

²⁶And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah: therefore Jehovah hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake unto him.

²⁷Potom hovoril svojim synom a riekol: Osedlajte mi osla. A osedlali.

²⁷And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled it.

²⁸A odíduc našiel jeho mŕtvolu. povrhnutú na ceste, a osla a ľva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly. Lev nezožral mŕtvoly ani neskrúšil osla.

²⁸And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the ass.

²⁹Vtedy vzal prorok mŕtve telo muža Božieho, vyložil ho na osla a dopravil ho zpät. A tak vošiel starý prorok do mesta, aby smútil a aby ho pochoval.

²⁹And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.

³⁰A položil jeho mŕtve telo do svojho hrobu, a smútil nad ním hovoriac: Jaj, môj brat!

³⁰And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!

³¹A stalo sa, keď už ho bol pochoval, že povedal svojim synom a riekol: Keď zomriem, pochovajte ma do hrobu, v ktorom je pochovaný muž Boží, vedľa jeho kostí položte moje kosti.

³¹And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

³²Lebo istotne sa stane to, čo volal slovom Hospodinovým proti oltáru, ktorý je v Bét-ele, a proti všetkým domom výšin, ktoré sú v mestách Samárie.

³²For the saying which he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

³³Po tejto udalosti sa nevrátil Jeroboám so svojej zlej cesty, ale zase narobil kňazov výšin z najposlednejších z ľudu. Kto len chcel, každému naplnil ruku a tak ho vysvätil, a bol kňazom výšin.

³³After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.

³⁴A tak to bolo touto vecou, že dom Jeroboámov hrešil, a to tak, aby bol vyplienený a zahladený s povrchu zeme.

³⁴And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
