¹A nejaká žena zo žien synov prorokov kričiac volala na Elizea a vravela: Tvoj služobník, môj muž, zomrel, a ty vieš, že tvoj služobník sa bál Hospodina. A tu prišiel veriteľ, aby vzal dvoje mojich detí sebe za sluhov.

¹Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.

²A Elizeus jej povedal: A čo ti mám učiniť? Povedz mi. Čo máš v dome? A ona riekla: Nemá tvoja dievka ničoho v dome okrem nádoby oleja.

²And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.

³Na to jej povedal: Idi, vyžiadaj si nádoby z vonku od všetkých svojich súsedov, prázdne nádoby, a nedones ich málo!

³Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

⁴Potom vojdeš a zamkneš dvere za sebou a za svojimi synmi a budeš nalievať do všetkých tých nádob, a tú, ktorá bude plná, dáš odstaviť.

⁴And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

⁵A tak odišla od neho a zamkla dvere za sebou a za svojimi synmi. Oni je podávali, a ona nalievala.

⁵So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.

⁶A stalo sa, keď boly nádoby plné, že riekla svojmu synovi: Podaj mi ešte nádobu! Ale on jej povedal: Už niet viacej nádoby. A olej zastál.

⁶And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

⁷Potom prišla a oznámila to mužovi Božiemu, ktorý povedal: Iď, predaj olej a zaplať svojmu veriteľovi a ty so svojimi synmi sa budeš živiť z ostatku.

⁷Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.

⁸Potom stalo sa jedného dňa, že prišiel Elizeus do Sunema, kde bola nejaká veľká žena, ktorá ho nasilu zdržala, aby jedol chlieb. A bolo od toho času, že kedykoľvek išiel tade, uchýlil sa ta, aby jedol chlieb.

⁸And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

⁹A riekla svojemu mužovi: Hľa, prosím, viem, že je to muž Boží, svätý, ktorý to ustavične chodieva popri nás.

⁹And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.

¹⁰Spravme mu, prosím, murovanú izbičku na postreší a postavme mu tam posteľ a stôl a stoličku a svietnik, aby keď prijde k nám, mohol sa ta uchýliť.

¹⁰Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

¹¹A tak stalo sa jedného dňa, že prišiel ta, a uchýlil sa do izby hore a ležal tam.

¹¹And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.

¹²A riekol Geházimu, svojmu služobníkovi: Zavolaj tú Sunemänku. A zavolal ju, a zastála pred ním.

¹²And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

¹³Vtedy mu riekol: Nože jej povedz: Hľa, ty si vynaložila na nás všetku tú starosť. Čo ti učiniť? Či máš nejakú vec, aby som za teba hovoril kráľovi alebo veliteľovi vojska? Ale ona riekla: Bývam prostred svojho ľudu.

¹³And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

¹⁴A zase riekol: A čo tedy učiniť pre ňu? Na to odpovedal Geházi: Ale ona nemá syna, a jej muž je starý.

¹⁴And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.

¹⁵Vtedy povedal: Zavolaj ju. A zavolal ju, a zastála vo dveriach.

¹⁵And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

¹⁶A riekol: Na rok o tomto čase, podľa času života, budeš objímať syna. A ona riekla: Nie, môj pane, mužu Boží, neklam svojej dievky!

¹⁶And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.

¹⁷Ale žena počala a porodila syna v určený čas, podľa času života, na čas, ktorý jej predpovedal Elizeus.

¹⁷And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

¹⁸A dieťa rástlo. Ale stalo sa jedného dňa, že vyšlo za svojím otcom k žencom

¹⁸And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

¹⁹a povedalo svojmu otcovi: Moja hlava, moja hlava! A riekol služobníkovi: Zanes ho k jeho matke!

¹⁹And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.

²⁰A vzal ho a zaniesol ho k jeho matke, a sedel na jej kolenách až do poludnia a zomrel.

²⁰And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

²¹A ona vyjdúc hore položila ho na posteľ muža Božieho, zamkla ho a vyšla.

²¹And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.

²²Potom zavolala svojho muža a riekla: Pošli mi, prosím jedného zo sluhov a jednu oslicu, aby som zabehla až k mužovi Božiemu a navrátim sa zase.

²²And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

²³A on povedal: Prečo chceš ísť k nemu dnes? Veď nie je ani nový mesiac ani sobota. Ale ona odpovedala: Maj pokoj o to.

²³And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

²⁴A osedlajúc oslicu riekla svojmu služobníkovi: Ponáhľaj a iď, nezdržuj pre mňa v jazde, len keby som ti povedala.

²⁴Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.

²⁵Tak išla a prišla k mužovi Božiemu na vrch Karmel. A stalo sa, keď ju uvidel muž Boží zďaleka, že riekol Geházimu, svojmu služobníkovi: Hľa, tamto je Sunemänka!

²⁵So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:

²⁶Nože jej teraz bež vústrety a opýtaj sa jej: Či ti pokoj? Či pokoj tvojmu mužovi, a či pokoj i tvojmu dieťaťu? A ona odpovedala: Pokoj.

²⁶run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

²⁷Ale keď prišla k mužovi Božiemu na vrch, chopila sa jeho nôh. A Geházi pristúpil, aby ju odstrčil. Ale muž Boží povedal: Nechaj ju, lebo jej duša jej je sovrená horkou bolesťou, a Hospodin to ukryl predo mnou a neoznámil mi.

²⁷And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and Jehovah hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

²⁸A ona riekla: Či som ja žiadala syna od svojho pána? Či som nepovedala: Nezavádzaj ma!

²⁸Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

²⁹Vtedy povedal Geházimu: Prepáš svoje bedrá a vezmi moju palicu do svojej ruky a iď. Keď stretneš voľakoho, nepozdravíš ho, a keď teba pozdraví voľakto, neodpovieš mu a položíš moju palicu na tvár chlapcovu.

²⁹Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

³⁰Ale matka chlapcova riekla: Jako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak vstal a išiel za ňou.

³⁰And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

³¹A Geházi odišiel pred nimi a položil palicu na tvár chlapcovu, ale nebolo hlasu, ani nebolo pozoru. A vrátiac sa jemu vústrety oznámil mu a povedal: Neprebudil sa chlapec.

³¹And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

³²A keď vošiel Elizeus do domu, hľa, chlapec bol mŕtvy, položený na jeho posteli.

³²And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

³³A vojdúc zamkol za nimi za obidvoma dvere a modlil sa Hospodinovi.

³³He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah.

³⁴A keď vyšiel hore, ľahol si na dieťa, položil svoje ústa na jeho ústa a svoje oči na jeho oči a svoje ruky na jeho ruky a zohol sa nad ním. A telo dieťaťa sa zohrialo.

³⁴And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

³⁵Potom sa obrátil a prešiel po dome raz sem a raz ta a zase vyšiel hore a zohol sa nad ním. A chlapec kýchnul až do sedem ráz a chlapec otvoril svoje oči.

³⁵Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

³⁶Vtedy zavolal Geháziho a riekol: Zavolaj tú Sunemänku. A zavolal ju. A keď vošla k nemu, povedal: Vezmi svojho syna!

³⁶And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

³⁷A ona prišla, padla k jeho nohám a poklonila sa k zemi. A tak vzala svojho syna a vyšla.

³⁷Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

³⁸Potom sa navrátil Elizeus do Gilgala. A bol hlad v zemi. A synovia prorokov sedeli pred ním. Tu povedal svojmu služobníkovi: Pristav ten veľký hrniec a navar synom prorokov kaše!

³⁸And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

³⁹Preto vyšiel jeden na pole, aby nasbieral zelín. A keď našiel nejakú poľnú lozu naoberal z nej poľných uhoriek plné svoje rúcho a prijdúc nakrájal do hrnca, aby z toho navaril kaše, lebo neznali toho.

³⁹And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.

⁴⁰A vyliali to mužom, aby jedli. Ale stalo sa, jako tak jedli z kaše, že skríkli a riekli: Smrť v hrnci, mužu Boží! A nemohli jesť.

⁴⁰So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

⁴¹A on riekol: Doneste múky! A keď doniesli, nasypal do hrnca a povedal: Nalej ľudu, aby jedli. A potom už nebolo ničoho zlého v hrnci.

⁴¹But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

⁴²V tom prišiel nejaký muž z Bál-šališe a doniesol mužovi Božiemu chleba z prvotín, dvadsať jačmenných chlebov a nového zbožia vo svojom vreci a povedal: Daj ľudu, nech jedia.

⁴²And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

⁴³A jeho posluhovač povedal: Načo nám toto predložiť pred sto mužov? Ale on riekol: Daj ľudu, nech jedia, lebo takto hovorí Hospodin: Najedia sa, a ešte aj zostane.

⁴³And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

⁴⁴A tak predložili pred nich, a jedli aj zvýšili podľa slova Hospodinovho.

⁴⁴So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of Jehovah.
