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.

¹Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh. Thus says Yahweh, ‘Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for 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.

²Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.”

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

³Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said one to another, “Why do we sit 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, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”

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

⁵They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, 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 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: 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 on 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.

⁷Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even 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.

⁸When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, 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.

⁹Then they said one to another, “We aren’t doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore 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.

¹⁰So they came and called to the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”

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

¹¹He called the porters; and they told it to the king’s household 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.

¹²The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take 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.

¹³One of his servants answered, “Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let us send and see.”

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

¹⁴They took therefore two chariots with 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.

¹⁵They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. 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.

¹⁶The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yahweh.

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.

¹⁷The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke 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.

¹⁸It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow 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 that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.”

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

²⁰It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.
