¹Potom po smrti Achabovej sprotivil sa Moáb Izraelovi.

¹Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

²A Achaziáš spadol cez mrežu na svojom hornom príbytku svojho paláca, ktorý bol v Samárii, a onemocnel. Vtedy poslal poslov a povedal im: Iďte, opýtajte sa Bál-zebúba, boha mesta Ekrona, či vyjdem z tejto svojej nemoci a budem žiť?

²Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”

³Ale anjel Hospodinov hovoril Eliášovi Tišbänskému: Vstaň, iď hore vústrety poslom kráľa Samárie a hovor im: Či preto, že niet Boha v Izraelovi, idete sa pýtať Bál-zebúba, boha Ekrona?

³But the angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?

⁴Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: S lože, na ktorú si vyšiel, viacej nesídeš, ale istotne zomrieš. Potom odišiel Eliáš.

⁴Now therefore thus says Yahweh, “You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.”’” Elijah departed.

⁵A keď sa navrátili poslovia k nemu, povedal im: Prečo ste sa vrátili?

⁵The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”

⁶A oni mu odpovedali: Nejaký muž nám vyšiel hore vústrety a povedal nám: Iďte, vráťte sa ku kráľovi, ktorý vás poslal, a hovorte mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Či preto, že niet Boha v Izraelovi, posielaš sa pýtať Bál-zebúba, boha Ekrona? Preto s lože, na ktorú si vyšiel, viacej nesídeš, ale istotne zomrieš.

⁶They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”’”

⁷A hovoril im: Aký je spôsob muža, ktorý vám vyšiel hore vústrety a hovoril vám tie slová?

⁷He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?”

⁸A oni mu povedali: Je to vlasatý človek a je opásaný koženým pásom na svojich bedrách. Vtedy povedal: To je Eliáš Tišbänský.

⁸They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

⁹A poslal k nemu veliteľa nad päťdesiatimi a jeho päťdesiatich, a tak išiel k nemu hore. A hľa, sedel hore na vrchu. A hovoril mu: Mužu Boží, kráľ hovoril: Sídi!

⁹Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”

¹⁰Ale Eliáš odpovedal a hovoril veliteľovi nad päťdesiatimi: A jestli som ja muž Boží, nech sostúpi oheň s neba a strávi teba i tvojich päťdesiatich! A sostúpil oheň s neba a strávil jeho i jeho päťdesiatich.

¹⁰Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹¹Opät poslal k nemu iného veliteľa nad päťdesiatimi i jeho päťdesiatich, ktorý odpovedajúc vravel mu: Mužu Boží, takto hovorí kráľ: Sídi rýchle!

¹¹Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”

¹²A Eliáš odpovedal a hovoril im: Ak som ja muž Boží, nech sostúpi oheň s neba a strávi teba i tvojich päťdesiatich! A sostúpil oheň Boží s neba a strávil jeho i jeho päťdesiatich.

¹²Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹³A zase poslal veliteľa nad päťdesiatimi, tretieho, i jeho päťdesiatich. A tak odišiel hore a prišiel ten tretí veliteľ nad päťdesiatimi a kľaknúc na svoje kolená naproti pred Eliášom prosil ho pokorne a hovoril mu: Mužu Boží, prosím, nech je drahá moja duša a duša týchto tvojich päťdesiat služobníkov v tvojich očiach!

¹³Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.

¹⁴Hľa, oheň sostúpil s neba a strávil dvoch prvých veliteľov nad päťdesiatimi aj ich päťdesiatich; ale teraz nech je drahou moja duša v tvojich očiach.

¹⁴Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”

¹⁵A anjel Hospodinov hovoril Eliášovi: Sídi s nimi, neboj sa jeho tvári. Vtedy vstal a sišiel s ním ku kráľovi.

¹⁵The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” He arose, and went down with him to the king.

¹⁶A hovoril mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Preto, že si poslal poslov pýtať sa Bál-zebúba, boha Ekrona, jako keby nebolo Boha v Izraelovi, aby si sa opýtal jeho slova, preto s lože, na ktorú si vyšiel, viacej nesídeš, ale istotne zomrieš.

¹⁶He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”

¹⁷A tak zomrel podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré hovoril Eliáš, a kraľoval Jehorám miesto neho v druhom roku Jehoráma, syna Jozafatovho, judského kráľa, lebo nemal syna.

¹⁷So he died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

¹⁸A ostatné deje Achaziášove, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Izraelových?

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
