¹A sedeli na pokoji tri roky; nebolo vojny medzi Sýriou a medzi Izraelom.

¹And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

²A stalo sa v treťom roku, že prišiel Jozafat, judský kráľ, dolu k izraelskému kráľovi.

²And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

³A izraelský kráľ povedal svojim služobníkom: Či viete, že Rámot Gileád patrí nám? A my mlčíme namiesto toho, aby sme ho vzali z ruky sýrskeho kráľa.

³And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do ye know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep quiet without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

⁴Preto povedal Jozafatovi: Či pojdeš so mnou do vojny do Rámot Gileáda? Na to riekol Jozafat izraelskému kráľovi: Ja som ako ty, môj ľud ako tvoj ľud, moje kone jako tvoje kone.

⁴And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

⁵Potom riekol Jozafat izraelskému kráľovi: Opýtaj sa dnes, prosím, na slovo Hospodinovo.

⁵And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.

⁶A izraelský kráľ shromaždil prorokov, okolo štyristo mužov, a povedal im: Či mám ísť do vojny proti Rámot Gileádu a či nechať tak? A odpovedali: Iď hore, Pán dá do ruky kráľovej.

⁶And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king's hand.

⁷Ale Jozafat riekol: Či nie je tu už proroka Hospodinovho, aby sme sa opýtali toho?

⁷But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?

⁸Na to povedal izraelský kráľ Jozafatovi: Je tu ešte jeden muž, skrze ktorého by bolo možno opýtať sa Hospodina, ale ja ho nenávidím, lebo mi neprorokuje dobrého, iba zlé, Micheáš, syn Jimlu. Avšak Jozafat riekol: Nech tak nehovorí kráľ!

⁸And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁹Vtedy zavolal izraelský kráľ jedného komorníka a povedal: Doveď sem rýchle Micheáša, syna Jimlu!

⁹Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.

¹⁰A izraelský kráľ a Jozafat, judský kráľ, sedeli každý na svojom tróne, odiati kráľovským rúchom, na voľnom priestore pri vchode do brány mesta Samárie. A všetci tí proroci prorokovali pred nimi.

¹⁰And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, in the open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

¹¹A Cedekiáš, syn Kenaanov, si bol spravil železné rohy a povedal: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Týmito budeš klať Sýrov, dokiaľ im len neučiníš konca.

¹¹And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.

¹²A všetci proroci prorokovali tak a vraveli: Iď hore do Rámot Gileáda a konaj šťastne, a Hospodin dá do ruku kráľovej.

¹²And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.

¹³A posol, ktorý išiel zavolať Micheáša, mu hovoril a vravel: Nože hľa, slová prorokov, ako by jednými ústy, predpovedajú kráľovi dobré veci; nech je tedy, prosím, tvoje slovo jako slovo niektorého z nich, a hovor dobré.

¹³And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.

¹⁴Ale Micheáš riekol: Ako že žije Hospodin, že iba to, čo mi povie Hospodin, to budem hovoriť.

¹⁴And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what Jehovah shall say to me, that will I speak.

¹⁵Keď potom prišiel ku kráľovi, povedal mu kráľ: Micheášu, či máme ísť proti Rámot Gileádu do vojny a či necháme tak? A on mu riekol: Iď hore a konaj šťastne, a Hospodin dá do ruky kráľovej.

¹⁵And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said to him, Go up, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the hand of the king.

¹⁶A kráľ mu povedal: Koľko ráz ťa mám zaviazať prísahou, že mi nebudeš hovoriť iného, len pravdu v mene Hospodinovom?

¹⁶And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?

¹⁷Vtedy riekol: Videl som všetkého Izraela rozptýleného po vrchoch ako ovce, ktoré nemajú pastiera. A Hospodin riekol: Títo nemajú pána, nech sa navrátia každý do svojho domu v pokoji.

¹⁷And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

¹⁸Na to povedal izraelský kráľ Jozafatovi: Či som ti nepovedal, že mi nebude prorokovať dobré, ale iba zlé?

¹⁸And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?

¹⁹A riekol: Preto počuj slovo Hospodinovo: Videl som Hospodina sedieť na jeho tróne, a všetko nebeské vojsko stálo pri ňom po jeho pravej a po jeho ľavej strane.

¹⁹And he said, Hear therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him, on his right hand and on his left;

²⁰A Hospodin riekol: Kto oklame Achaba, aby išiel hore a padol v Rámot Gileáda? A keď hovoril jeden to, a druhý hovoril iné,

²⁰and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one said after this manner, and another said after that manner.

²¹vyšiel von nejaký duch a postaviac sa pred Hospodinom povedal: Ja ho oklamem. A Hospodin mu riekol: Akým spôsobom?

²¹And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him.

²²A on odpovedal: Vyjdem a budem lživým duchom v ústach všetkých jeho prorokov. A riekol: Oklameš, aj zmôžeš, vyjdi a učiň tak.

²²And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.

²³A teraz hľa, Hospodin dal lživého ducha do úst všetkých týchto tvojich prorokov, a Hospodin hovoril proti tebe zlé.

²³And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.

²⁴Vtedy pristúpil Cedekiáš, syn Kenaanov, a uderil Micheáša na líce a povedal: Kde-kade odišiel Duch Hospodinov odo mňa, aby hovoril tebe?

²⁴Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Where now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?

²⁵A Micheáš riekol: Hľa, uvidíš toho dňa, keď pojdeš z izby do izby, aby si sa skryl.

²⁵And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.

²⁶A izraelský kráľ povedal: Pojmi Micheáša a zaveď ho zpät k Amonovi, kniežaťu mesta, a k Joašovi, synovi kráľovmu.

²⁶And the king of Israel said, Take Micah and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

²⁷A povieš: Takto hovorí kráľ: Vsaďte tohoto do žalára a dávajte mu jesť chlieb súženia a vodu súženia, dokiaľ neprijdem v pokoji.

²⁷and thou shalt say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

²⁸Ale Micheáš povedal: Ak sa ty naozaj navrátiš v pokoji, nehovoril Hospodin skrze mňa. A doložil: Počujte to ľudia, všetci!

²⁸And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!

²⁹A tak odišiel izraelský kráľ i Jozafat, judský kráľ, hore do Rámot Gileáda.

²⁹And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.

³⁰A izraelský kráľ povedal Jozafatovi: Prestrojiť sa, a ísť do boja; ale ty si len obleč svoje rúcho. A tak sa prestrojil izraelský kráľ a išiel do boja.

³⁰And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

³¹A sýrsky kráľ prikázal svojim veliteľom vozov, tridsiatim a dvom, a povedal: Nebojujte ani s malým ani s veľkým, ale iba s izraelským kráľom samotným.

³¹And the king of Syria commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.

³²A stalo sa, keď uvideli velitelia vozov Jozafata, že riekli: Doista je to izraelský kráľ! A uhli sa proti nemu bojovať. Vtedy skríkol Jozafat.

³²And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely that is the king of Israel; and they turned against him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out.

³³A stalo sa, keď uvideli velitelia vozov, že to nie je izraelský kráľ, že sa obrátili preč od neho.

³³And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

³⁴Tu nejaký muž natiahol lučište vo svojej prostote, a ranil izraelského kráľa tam, kde sa pancier spojuje. Preto povedal svojmu vozkovi: Obráť svoje ruky a vyvez ma z vojska, lebo som ťažko nemocný.

³⁴And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to his charioteer, Turn thy hand, and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.

³⁵A keď sa rozmohol boj toho dňa, postavený bol kráľ na voze naproti Sýrom. A zomrel večer a vylial krv z rany do vnútra do voza.

³⁵And the battle increased that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died at even; and the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.

³⁶Potom, o západe slnka, išiel krik táborom volajúc: Každý do svojho mesta a každý do svojej zeme!

³⁶And there went the cry throughout the host at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!

³⁷A tak zomrel kráľ, a dopravili ho do Samária a pochovali kráľa v Samárii.

³⁷And the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

³⁸A keď umývali voz pri rybníku Samárie, lízali psi jeho krv, kým sa tam umývali smilnice, čo sa stalo podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré hovoril.

³⁸And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked his blood, where the harlots bathed: according to the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken.

³⁹A ostatné deje Achabove a všetko to, čo robil, aj o dome zo slonovej kosti, ktorý vystavil, aj o všetkých mestách, ktoré vystavil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Izraelových?

³⁹And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁴⁰A tak ľahol Achab a ležal so svojimi otcami, a kraľoval Achaziáš, jeho syn, miesto neho.

⁴⁰And Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

⁴¹A Jozafat, syn Azu, začal kraľovať nad Júdom vo štvrtom roku Achaba, izraelského kráľa.

⁴¹And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

⁴²Jozafat mal tridsaťpäť rokov, keď začal kraľovať a kraľoval dvadsaťpäť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Azuba, dcéra Šilchiho.

⁴²Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

⁴³A chodil po všetkých cestách Azu, svojho otca, neuhol sa od toho robiac to, čo je dobré v očiach Hospodinových.

⁴³And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah. Only, the high places were not removed: the people offered and burned incense still on the high places.

⁴⁴Len že výšiny neustúpily; ľud ešte vždy obetoval a kadil na výšinách.

⁴⁴And Jehoshaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁵A Jozafat uzavrel mier s izraelským kráľom.

⁴⁵And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁴⁶A ostatné deje Jozafatove a jeho udatnosť, ktorú dokázal, a jako bojoval, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

⁴⁶And the remainder of the sodomites, which were left in the days of his father Asa, he put away from out of the land.

⁴⁷Aj ostatok zasvätených smilstvu, ktorí boli pozostali za dní Azu, jeho otca, odpratal zo zeme.

⁴⁷And there was no king in Edom: a deputy reigned.

⁴⁸Vtedy nebolo kráľa v Edomsku; spravujúci úradník bol kráľom.

⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made Tarshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not, for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

⁴⁹A Jozafat si bol nadovážil taršíšskych lodí, aby odišiel do Ofíra po zlato, ale neišiel, lebo lode stroskotaly v Ecion-gábere.

⁴⁹Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

⁵⁰Vtedy povedal Achaziáš, syn Achabov, Jozafatovi: Nech idú moji služobníci s tvojimi služobníkmi na lodiach. Ale Jozafat nechcel.

⁵⁰And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

⁵¹A tak ľahol Jozafat a ležal so svojimi otcami a bol pochovaný so svojimi otcami v meste Dávida, svojho otca, a kraľoval Jehorám, jeho syn, miesto neho.

⁵¹Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned two years over Israel.

⁵²Achaziáš, syn Achabov, začal kraľovať nad Izraelom v Samárii v sedemnástom roku Jozafata, judského kráľa, a kraľoval nad Izraelom dva roky.

⁵²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

⁵³A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, a chodil po ceste svojho otca a po ceste svojej matere a po ceste Jeroboáma, syna Nebátovho, ktorý spôsobil to, aby hrešil Izrael.

⁵³And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.

⁵⁴A slúžil Bálovi a klaňal sa mu a tak popudzoval Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, celkom tak, ako robil jeho otec.
