2. kniha kráľov

1 (CPDV) Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
1 (KAT) Po Achabovej smrti odpadol Moab od Izraela.

2 (CPDV) And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
2 (KAT) Ochoziáš padol cez mreže, ktoré mal na hornej izbe v Samárii, a ochorel. Preto poslal poslov a povedal im: „Choďte, dopytujte sa Belzebuba, boha Akaronu, či sa z tejto choroby uzdravím!“

3 (CPDV) And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
3 (KAT) Ale Pánov anjel hovoril Tesbanovi Eliášovi: „Vstaň, choď v ústrety poslom samarijského kráľa a povedz im: V Izraeli niet Boha, že sa idete dopytovať boha Akaronu Belzebuba?!

4 (CPDV) For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ” And Elijah went away.
4 (KAT) Preto toto hovorí Pán: Z lôžka, na ktoré si ľahol, nevstaneš, ale naisto zomrieš.“ S tým Eliáš odišiel.

5 (CPDV) And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
5 (KAT) Keď sa posli vrátili, spýtal sa ich: „Čo je, že ste sa vrátili?“

6 (CPDV) But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ”
6 (KAT) Odpovedali mu: „Akýsi muž nám prišiel v ústrety a povedal nám: »Choďte, vráťte sa ku kráľovi, ktorý vás poslal, a povedzte mu: Toto hovorí Pán: V Izraeli niet Boha, že posielaš dopytovať sa boha Akaronu Belzebuba?! Preto z lôžka, na ktoré si ľahol, nevstaneš, ale naisto zomrieš.«“

7 (CPDV) And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
7 (KAT) Spýtal sa ich: „Ako vyzeral človek, ktorý vám prišiel v ústrety a povedal vám toto?“

8 (CPDV) So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
8 (KAT) Odpovedali mu: „Muž v srstenom plášti a cez bedrá opásaný koženým opaskom.“ On povedal: „To je Tesban Eliáš!“

9 (CPDV) And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
9 (KAT) I poslal k nemu päťdesiatnika s jeho päťdesiatimi mužmi. On prišiel k nemu, keď práve sedel na temene vrchu, a povedal mu: „Muž Boží, kráľ rozkazuje, poď dolu!“

10 (CPDV) And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
10 (KAT) Eliáš však odpovedal päťdesiatnikovi: „Ak som ja Boží muž, nech zostúpi z neba oheň a nech strávi teba i tvojich päťdesiatich!“ Vtom zostúpil z neba oheň a strávil jeho i jeho päťdesiatich.

11 (CPDV) And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
11 (KAT) Opäť k nemu poslal iného päťdesiatnika a tiež jeho päťdesiatich. On išiel a povedal mu: „Muž Boží, takto hovorí kráľ: Poď rýchlo dolu!“

12 (CPDV) Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
12 (KAT) Eliáš im odpovedal: „Ak som ja Boží muž, nech zostúpi z neba oheň a nech strávi teba i tvojich päťdesiatich!“ Vtom zostúpil Boží oheň z neba a strávil jeho i jeho päťdesiatich.

13 (CPDV) Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
13 (KAT) Ale opäť poslal tretieho päťdesiatnika i jeho päťdesiatich. Tretí päťdesiatnik išiel a keď došiel, padol na kolená pred Eliášom a pokorne ho prosil: „Muž Boží, nechže má môj život a život týchto tvojich päťdesiatich sluhov nejakú cenu v tvojich očiach!

14 (CPDV) Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
14 (KAT) Veď zostúpil z neba oheň a strávil prvších dvoch päťdesiatnikov aj s ich päťdesiatimi! Ale teraz nech má môj život v tvojich očiach nejakú cenu!“

15 (CPDV) Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
15 (KAT) Vtedy hovoril Pánov anjel Eliášovi: „Zostúp s ním dolu, neboj sa ho!“ I vstal a zostúpil s ním ku kráľovi

16 (CPDV) And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
16 (KAT) a vravel mu: „Toto hovorí Pán: Pretože si poslal poslov dopytovať sa boha Akaronu Belzebuba, akoby v Izraeli nebolo Boha, ktorého by si sa mohol pýtať, preto z lôžka, na ktoré si ľahol, nezídeš, ale naisto zomrieš.“

17 (CPDV) And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
17 (KAT) A naozaj zomrel podľa Božieho výroku, ktorý povedal Eliáš. Namiesto neho sa stal kráľom (jeho brat) Joram v druhom roku júdskeho kráľa Jorama, Jozafatovho syna, lebo (Ochoziáš) nemal syna.

18 (CPDV) But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
18 (KAT) Ostatok Ochoziášových dejín a čo urobil, je napísané v Knihe letopočtov izraelských kráľov.
