¹A hľa, v tom prišiel muž Boží z Judska so slovom Hospodinovým do Bét-ela, keď práve stál Jeroboám nad oltárom, aby kadil.

¹Behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

²A zavolal proti oltáru slovom Hospodinovým a riekol: Oltáru, oltáru, takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, syn sa narodí domu Dávidovmu, ktorému bude meno Joziáš, ktorý bude obetovať na tebe kňazov výšin, ktorí kadia na tebe kadivo, i ľudské kosti budú páliť na tebe.

²He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, “Altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”

³A dal i znamenie toho istého dňa povediac: Toto je znamenie, že Hospodin hovoril skrze mňa: Hľa, oltár sa roztrhne, a vysype sa popol, ktorý je na ňom.

³He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”

⁴A stalo sa, keď počul kráľ slovo muža Božieho, ktoré volal proti oltáru v Bét-ele, že Jeroboám vystrel svoju ruku sponad oltára a povedal: Chyťte ho! Ale uschla jeho ruka, ktorú vystrel proti nemu, a nemohol ju zase stiahnuť k sebe.

⁴It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.

⁵A oltár sa roztrhol, a vysypal sa popol z oltára podľa znamenia, ktoré dal muž Boží slovom Hospodinovým.

⁵The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.

⁶Vtedy odpovedal kráľ a riekol mužovi Božiemu: Upokoj, prosím, tvár Hospodina, svojho Boha, a modli sa za mňa, aby sa zase vrátila moja ruka ku mne. A tak modliac sa upokojil muž Boží tvár Hospodinovu, a ruka kráľova sa vrátila k nemu a bola jako predtým.

⁶The king answered the man of God, “Now entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God entreated Yahweh, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

⁷Potom hovoril kráľ mužovi Božiemu: Poď so mnou do domu a posilni sa pokrmom, a dám ti dar.

⁷The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”

⁸Ale muž Boží povedal kráľovi: Ani keby si mi dal polovicu svojho domu, nevošiel by som s tebou ani by som nejedol chleba ani by som nepil vody na tomto mieste.

⁸The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

⁹Lebo tak mi prikázal slovom Hospodinovým povediac: Nebudeš jesť chleba ani nebudeš piť vody ani sa nevrátiš cestou, ktorou si ta išiel.

⁹for so was it commanded me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.’”

¹⁰A tak odišiel inou cestou a nevrátil sa cestou, ktorou bol prišiel do Bét-ela.

¹⁰So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.

¹¹Ale býval v Bét-ele nejaký starý prorok, ktorého syn prišiel a rozprával mu všetko to, čo učinil muž Boží toho dňa v Bét-ele, i slová, ktoré hovoril kráľovi, a porozprával ich svojmu otcovi.

¹¹Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.

¹²A ich otec im hovoril: Kde ktorou cestou išiel? A jeho synovia videli cestu, ktorou išiel muž Boží, ktorý to bol prišiel z Judska.

¹²Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.

¹³Vtedy povedal svojim synom: Osedlajte mi osla, a osedlali mu osla, a sadol na neho.

¹³He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.

¹⁴A išiel za mužom Božím a našiel ho sedieť pod tým dubom a riekol mu: Či si to ty ten muž Boží, ktorý prišiel z Judska? A on odpovedal: Som.

¹⁴He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”

¹⁵A riekol mu: Poď so mnou do domu a pojedz chlieb.

¹⁵Then he said to him, “Come home with me, and eat bread.”

¹⁶Ale on povedal: Nemôžem sa vrátiť s tebou a vojsť s tebou ani nebudem jesť chleba ani nebudem piť u teba vody na tomto mieste.

¹⁶He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.

¹⁷Lebo mám prikázané slovom Hospodinovým: Nebudeš jesť chleba ani tam nebudeš piť vody, nevrátiš sa tak, aby si išiel cestou, ktorou si ta išiel.

¹⁷For it was said to me by the word of Yahweh, ‘You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.’”

¹⁸Na to mu riekol: I ja som prorok ako ty, a anjel mi hovoril slovom Hospodinovým a riekol: Vráť ho so sebou do svojho domu, aby pojedol chlieb a napil sa vody. Luhal mu.

¹⁸He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.

¹⁹A vrátil sa s ním a jedol chlieb v jeho dome a pil vodu.

¹⁹So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

²⁰A stalo sa, keď oni sedeli za stolom, že sa stalo slovo Hospodinovo k prorokovi, ktorý ho vrátil,

²⁰It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back;

²¹a zavolal na muža Božieho, ktorý prišiel z Judska, a riekol: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Preto, že si učinil na odpor tomu, čo povedaly ústa Hospodinove, a neostríhal si prikázania, ktoré ti prikázal Hospodin, tvoj Bôh,

²¹and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,

²²ale si sa vrátil a jedol si chlieb a pil si vodu na mieste, o ktorom ti hovoril: Nejedz tam chleba ani nepi vody, nevojde tvoje mŕtve telo do hrobu tvojich otcov.

²²but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water”; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”

²³A stalo sa, keď zjedol chlieb a keď vypil, že mu osedlal osla, prorokovi, ktorého bol vrátil.

²³It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.

²⁴A išiel, a našiel ho lev na ceste a usmrtil ho, a jeho mŕtve telo bolo povrhnuté na ceste, a osol stál vedľa neho, i lev stál vedľa mŕtvoly.

²⁴When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.

²⁵A hľa, nejakí mužovia išli tade a videli mŕtvolu, povrhnutú na ceste, i ľva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly, a prijdúc hovorili to v meste, v ktorom býval ten starý prorok.

²⁵Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.

²⁶Keď to počul prorok, ktorý ho to bol vrátil s cesty, povedal: To je ten muž Boží, ktorý sa sprotivil ústam Hospodinovým; preto ho vydal Hospodin ľvovi, a dolámal ho a usmrtil ho podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré mu hovoril.

²⁶When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to him.”

²⁷Potom hovoril svojim synom a riekol: Osedlajte mi osla. A osedlali.

²⁷He spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” They saddled it.

²⁸A odíduc našiel jeho mŕtvolu. povrhnutú na ceste, a osla a ľva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly. Lev nezožral mŕtvoly ani neskrúšil osla.

²⁸He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.

²⁹Vtedy vzal prorok mŕtve telo muža Božieho, vyložil ho na osla a dopravil ho zpät. A tak vošiel starý prorok do mesta, aby smútil a aby ho pochoval.

²⁹The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.

³⁰A položil jeho mŕtve telo do svojho hrobu, a smútil nad ním hovoriac: Jaj, môj brat!

³⁰He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”

³¹A stalo sa, keď už ho bol pochoval, že povedal svojim synom a riekol: Keď zomriem, pochovajte ma do hrobu, v ktorom je pochovaný muž Boží, vedľa jeho kostí položte moje kosti.

³¹It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.

³²Lebo istotne sa stane to, čo volal slovom Hospodinovým proti oltáru, ktorý je v Bét-ele, a proti všetkým domom výšin, ktoré sú v mestách Samárie.

³²For the saying which he cried by the word of Yahweh against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”

³³Po tejto udalosti sa nevrátil Jeroboám so svojej zlej cesty, ale zase narobil kňazov výšin z najposlednejších z ľudu. Kto len chcel, každému naplnil ruku a tak ho vysvätil, a bol kňazom výšin.

³³After this thing Jeroboam didn’t return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.

³⁴A tak to bolo touto vecou, že dom Jeroboámov hrešil, a to tak, aby bol vyplienený a zahladený s povrchu zeme.

³⁴This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
