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 to 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 art come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him rise up from among his brethren, and bring 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; and open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

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

⁴And the young man, the young 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, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, 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 rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, 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; and I will 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.

⁸And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left 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 as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as 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 plot of Jizreel, and none shall 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.

¹¹And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind.

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 spoke 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 very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, 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.

¹⁴And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept 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.

¹⁵and king Joram had returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your will, let not a fugitive escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jizreel.

¹⁶Potom vysadol Jehu na voz a išiel do Jizreela, lebo tam ležal Jorám. A Achaziáš, judský kráľ, bol prišiel dolu navštíviť Joráma.

¹⁶And Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jizreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had 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?

¹⁷And the watchman stood on the tower in Jizreel, and saw Jehu's company 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 he 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, and he does not return.

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.

¹⁹And he sent out a second on horseback; and he came to them and said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, 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 to them, and does not return. And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives 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.

²¹Then 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 met him in the plot of Naboth the Jizreelite.

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 said, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?

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

²³Then Joram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, Ahaziah!

²⁴Ale Jehu pochytiac lučište ranil Joráma medzi jeho ramenami, tak že strela prenikla jeho srdce, a sklesol dohromady na svojom voze.

²⁴And Jehu took his bow in his hand, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out through his heart; and he sank 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.

²⁵And he said to Bidkar his captain, Take him up [and] cast him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jizreelite. For remember how, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, that 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.

²⁶Certainly I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith Jehovah. And now, take [and] cast him into the plot, 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.

²⁷When Ahaziah king of Judah saw [that], he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in his chariot. It was on the ascent of Gur, which is by Jibleam. 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.

²⁹(And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun 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 Jehu came to Jizreel; and Jezebel heard of it, and she put paint to her eyes, and decked her head, and looked out at the window.

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

³¹And when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of his master?

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 two or three chamberlains looked out to him.

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! And they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trampled on her.

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

³⁴And he came in, and ate and drank; and he said, Go, look, I pray you, after 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 the 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.

³⁶And they came back and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite saying, In the plot of Jizreel shall 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 carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the open field in the plot of Jizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
