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 called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto 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 when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to 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.

³Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith Jehovah, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

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

⁴So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went 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 when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain.

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 arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, even over Israel.

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

⁷And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, at the hand of Jezebel.

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

⁸For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.

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

⁹And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.

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

¹⁰And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

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.

¹¹Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man and what his talk was.

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 said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I have anointed thee king over Israel.

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

¹³Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, Jehu is king.

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.

¹⁴So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;

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.

¹⁵but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell 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.

¹⁶So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come 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?

¹⁷Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it 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.

¹⁸So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not back.

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.

¹⁹Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee 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 told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

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 Joram said, Make ready. And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found 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 came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

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

²³And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, 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 drew his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk 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.

²⁵Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, Jehovah laid this burden upon him:

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.

²⁶Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat [of ground], 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.

²⁷But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot: [and they smote him] at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

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

²⁸And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre 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 the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign 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 when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

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

³¹And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master's murderer?

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

³²And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him 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 said, Throw her down. So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.

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

³⁴And when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, 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 went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her 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.

³⁶Wherefore they came back, and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall 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 body of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
