¹Ale Elizeus riekol: Počujte slovo Hospodinovo! Takto hovorí Hospodin: Zajtra o tomto čase bude sat bielej múky jemnej za šekel a dva saty jačmeňa za šekel v bráne mesta Samárie.

¹And Elisha said, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith Jehovah: To-morrow about this time shall the measure of fine flour be at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

²Na to odpovedal knieža, na ktorého ruku sa opieral kráľ, mužovi Božiemu a riekol: Hľa, keby Hospodin učinil hoc aj prieduchy na nebi, či by to bolo možné? Ale on riekol: Hľa, uvidíš to na svoje oči, ale nebudeš z toho jesť.

²And the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

³A boli pri vchode do brány štyria malomocní mužovia, ktorí povedali druh druhovi: Čo tu budeme sedieť, až zomrieme?

³And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we abide here until we die?

⁴Ak povieme: Vojdime do mesta, pretože je hlad v meste, zomrieme tam, a keď zostaneme tu, taktiež zomrieme. Preto teraz poďte a vpadnime do tábora Sýrov; ak nás zachovajú pri živote, budeme žiť, a keď nás zabijú, nuž zomrieme.

⁴If we say, Let us enter into the city, the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we abide here, we shall die. And now come, let us fall away to the camp of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they put us to death, we shall but die.

⁵A tak vstali večer na mraku, aby vošli do tábora Sýrov. A prišli až na kraj tábora Sýrov. Ale hľa, nebolo tam nikoho,

⁵And they rose up in the dusk to go to the camp of the Syrians; and they came to the extremity of the camp of the Syrians; and behold, there was no man there.

⁶lebo Pán spôsobil to, že sýrske vojsko počulo hrmot vozov a zvuk koní, hukot veľkého vojska, a povedali jeden druhému: Hľa, izraelský kráľ najal za mzdu proti nám hetejských kráľov a egyptských kráľov, aby prišli na nás.

⁶For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, a noise of a great host; and they said one to another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

⁷Preto vstali a utiekli za mraku zanechajúc svoje stány i svoje kone i svojich oslov, celý tábor tak, ako bol, a utiekli, aby zachránili svoj život.

⁷And they rose up and fled in the dusk, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

⁸A keď tedy prišli tí malomocní až na kraj tábora, vošli do jedného stánu a najedli sa a napili. A poberúc odtiaľ striebro a zlato i rúcha odišli a schovali. A zase sa navrátili a vošli do iného stánu a poberúc aj odtiaľ odišli a schovali.

⁸And those lepers came to the extremity of the camp; and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried thence silver and gold, and garments, and went and hid it; and they came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence, and went and hid [it].

⁹Ale potom riekli druh druhovi: Nerobíme dobre. Tento deň je dňom radostnej zvesti, a my mlčíme. Ak budeme čakať až do ranného svetla, stihne nás neprávosť. Preto teraz poďte, vojdime a oznámme v dome kráľovom.

⁹And they said one to another, We are not doing right; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, the iniquity will find us out; and now come, let us go and tell the king's household.

¹⁰A tak prijdúc volali na bránneho mesta a oznámili im a riekli: Prišli sme do tábora Sýrov, a hľa, nieto tam nikoho, ani ľudského hlasu, iba kone uviazané a osli uviazaní, a stány tak, ako boly.

¹⁰And they came and called to the porters of the city, and told them saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one there, no sound of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.

¹¹A ten zavolal druhých bránnych, ktorí to oznámili domu kráľovmu, do vnútra.

¹¹And the porters cried [it] and told [it] to the king's house within.

¹²Vtedy vstal kráľ vnoci a riekol svojim služobníkom: Nože nech vám poviem, čo spravili Sýrovia. Vedia, že sme hladní; preto vyšli z tábora, aby sa skryli na poli, lebo si riekli: Keď vyjdú z mesta, pochytáme ich živých a tak vojdeme do mesta.

¹²And the king rose up in the night and said to his servants, Let me tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry, and they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

¹³Na to odpovedal ktorýsi z jeho služobníkov a riekol: Prosím, nech vezmú päť z pozostalých koní, ktoré pozostaly v meste. Hľa, sú jako všetko množstvo Izraelovo, jako všetci, ktorí pozostali v ňom, hľa, sú jako všetko množstvo Izraelovo, ktoré hynie, a pošleme a uvidíme.

¹³And one of his servants answered and said, Let some one take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that have perished), and let us send and see.

¹⁴A tak vzali dva vozy s koňmi, ktoré poslal kráľ za sýrskym vojskom povediac: Iďte a vidzte.

¹⁴And they took two chariots with their horses; and the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

¹⁵A išli za nimi až k Jordánu. A hľa, celá cesta bola plná rúch a nádob, ktoré poodhadzovali zdesení Sýrovia vo svojom veľkom spechu. A poslovia sa navrátili a oznámili to kráľovi.

¹⁵And they went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and materials, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.

¹⁶Vtedy vyšiel ľud a zlúpil tábor Sýrov, a bol sat bielej múky jemnej za šekel a dva saty jačmeňa za šekel podľa slova Hospodinovho.

¹⁶And the people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians; and the measure of fine flour was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.

¹⁷A kráľ ustanovil knieža, na ktorého ruku sa opieral, aby mal dozor pri bráne, ale ho ľud zašliapal v bráne, aj zomrel, tak ako hovoril muž Boží, ktorý to hovoril vtedy, keď bol sišiel k nemu kráľ.

¹⁷And the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died, according to what the man of God had said, -- what he had said when the king came down to him.

¹⁸A tedy stalo sa tak, ako hovoril muž Boží kráľovi povediac: Dva saty jačmeňa budú za šekel a sat bielej múky jemnej za šekel zajtra o tomto čase v bráne Samárie.

¹⁸And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king saying, Two measures of barley shall be at a shekel, and the measure of fine flour at a shekel, to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria.

¹⁹Na čo odpovedal knieža mužovi Božiemu a riekol: Hľa, keby Hospodin učinil hoc aj prieduchy na nebi, či by sa mohlo stať voľačo podobné jako to? A on mu povedal: Hľa, uvidíš to na svoje oči, ale nebudeš z toho jesť.

¹⁹And the captain answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

²⁰A tak sa mu aj stalo, lebo ho zašliapal ľud v bráne, aj zomrel.

²⁰And so it happened to him; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died.
