1. kniha kráľov

1 (KJV) And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
1 (KAT) Tu prišiel z Júdska na Pánov pokyn Boží muž do Betelu, práve keď Jeroboam stál pri oltári a chcel páliť tymian.

2 (KJV) And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
2 (KAT) A na Pánov pokyn volal proti oltáru: „Oltár! Oltár! Toto hovorí Pán: Hľa, Dávidovmu domu sa narodí syn menom Joziáš. On bude na tebe zabíjať kňazov výšin, ktorí na tebe pália tymian; aj ľudské kosti budú páliť na tebe.“

3 (KJV) And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
3 (KAT) V ten istý deň ohlásil aj znamenie: „Toto bude znamenie, že Pán hovoril: Hľa, oltár sa roztrhne a popol, ktorý je na ňom, sa rozsype!“

4 (KJV) And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
4 (KAT) Keď kráľ počul reč Božieho muža, ktorú volal k oltáru, odtiahol Jeroboam ruku od oltára a volal: „Chyťte ho!“ Vtom mu ruka, ktorú mal proti nemu vystretú, uschla a už ju nemohol pritiahnuť k sebe.

5 (KJV) The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
5 (KAT) Oltár sa roztrhol a popol z oltára sa rozsypal na znamenie, ktoré ohlásil Boží muž na Pánov pokyn.

6 (KJV) And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
6 (KAT) Nato kráľ povedal Božiemu mužovi: „Udobri Pána, svojho Boha, a pros za mňa, aby som mohol ruku zasa k sebe pritiahnuť!“ Boží muž udobril Pána a kráľ zasa ruku pritiahol k sebe; bola mu ako predtým.

7 (KJV) And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
7 (KAT) Vtedy kráľ hovoril Božiemu mužovi: „Poď so mnou domov, občerstvi sa a dám ti dary.“

8 (KJV) And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
8 (KAT) Ale Boží muž povedal kráľovi: „Ani keby si mi dal polovicu svojho domu, nepôjdem s tebou a nebudem nič jesť ani piť na tomto mieste.

9 (KJV) For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
9 (KAT) Lebo Pánovo slovo mi prikázalo: »Nesmieš jesť chlieb ani piť vodu, ani sa nesmieš vrátiť cestou, ktorou si prišiel!«“

10 (KJV) So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
10 (KAT) Potom odišiel inou cestou a nevrátil sa cestou, ktorou prišiel do Betelu.

11 (KJV) Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
11 (KAT) V Beteli býval istý starý prorok. Prišli k nemu jeho synovia a rozpovedali mu všetko, čo v ten deň urobil Boží muž v Beteli, i slová, ktoré hovoril kráľovi. Keď to rozpovedali svojmu otcovi,

12 (KJV) And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
12 (KAT) otec sa ich opýtal: „Ktorou cestou odišiel?“ Synovia mu ukázali cestu, ktorou odišiel Boží muž, čo prišiel z Júdska.

13 (KJV) And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
13 (KAT) Nato rozkázal svojim synom: „Osedlajte mi oslicu!“ Keď mu osedlali osla, vysadol naň

14 (KJV) And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
14 (KAT) a išiel za Božím mužom. Našiel ho sedieť pod terebintou. I spýtal sa ho: „Ty si ten Boží muž, čo prišiel z Júdska?“ On odpovedal: „Ja.“

15 (KJV) Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
15 (KAT) Nato mu vravel: „Poď so mnou domov zajesť si!“

16 (KJV) And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
16 (KAT) Odpovedal mu: „Nesmiem sa s tebou vrátiť ani ísť s tebou a nebudem nič jesť, ani nebudem s tebou nič piť na tomto mieste,

17 (KJV) For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
17 (KAT) lebo Pán mi vo svojom slove nariadil: »Nesmieš tam jesť chlieb ani piť vodu, ani sa nesmieš vrátiť cestou, ktorou si prišiel!«“

18 (KJV) He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
18 (KAT) Ale ten mu povedal: „Aj ja som prorok ako ty a anjel mi povedal z Pánovho pokynu: »Priveď ho so sebou späť do svojho domu, nech si zaje a nech sa napije vody!«“ Oklamal ho.

19 (KJV) So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
19 (KAT) Vrátil sa teda s ním, zajedol si v jeho dome a napil sa vody.

20 (KJV) And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
20 (KAT) Ako sedeli za stolom, Pán oslovil proroka, ktorý ho priviedol späť,

21 (KJV) And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
21 (KAT) a zvolal na Božieho muža, čo prišiel z Júdska: „Toto hovorí Pán: Pretože si sa sprotivil Pánovmu slovu a nezachoval si príkaz, ktorý ti dal Pán, tvoj Boh,

22 (KJV) But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
22 (KAT) ale vrátil si sa a jedol si a pil na mieste, o ktorom som ti povedal: Nesmieš (tam) jesť chlieb ani piť vodu: tvoja mŕtvola sa nedostane do hrobu tvojich otcov.“

23 (KJV) And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
23 (KAT) A keď si zajedol a napil sa, osedlali mu osla proroka, ktorý ho priviedol naspäť,

24 (KJV) And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
24 (KAT) a odišiel. Na ceste ho napadol lev a usmrtil; jeho mŕtvola ležala na ceste a osol stál vedľa nej, aj lev stál vedľa mŕtvoly.

25 (KJV) And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
25 (KAT) Keď išli tadiaľ ľudia a zazreli mŕtvolu a leva stáť vedľa mŕtvoly, išli a hovorili to v meste, v ktorom býval ten starý prorok.

26 (KJV) And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
26 (KAT) Keď to počul prorok, ktorý ho priviedol naspäť z cesty, povedal: „To je Boží muž, ktorý sa sprotivil Pánovmu slovu, a Pán ho vydal levovi; on ho dolámal a usmrtil podľa slova, ktoré mu povedal Pán.“

27 (KJV) And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
27 (KAT) Nato povedal svojim synom: „Osedlajte mi osla!“ Keď mu ho osedlali,

28 (KJV) And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
28 (KAT) išiel a našiel mŕtvolu ležať na ceste, osol a lev však stáli vedľa mŕtvoly. Lev nezožral mŕtvolu, ani nedolámal osla.

29 (KJV) And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
29 (KAT) Prorok zdvihol mŕtvolu Božieho muža, vyložil ju na osla a priviezol ju späť do mesta (starého proroka), aby ho oplakal a pochoval.

30 (KJV) And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
30 (KAT) Mŕtvolu uložil do vlastného hrobu a nariekali nad ňou: „Ach, brat môj!“

31 (KJV) And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
31 (KAT) Keď ho pochovali, povedal svojim synom: „Až zomriem, pochovajte ma do hrobu, v ktorom je pochovaný Boží muž, nech moje kosti ležia vedľa jeho kostí,

32 (KJV) For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
32 (KAT) lebo isto iste sa splní slovo, ktoré z Božieho pokynu volal proti oltáru v Beteli a proti všetkým svätyniam na výšinách, ktoré sú v samarijských mestách.“

33 (KJV) After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
33 (KAT) Po tejto udalosti sa Jeroboam neodvrátil od svojej zlej cesty, ale zasa ustanovoval kňazov výšin zo spodiny ľudu. Kto len chcel, každému naplnil ruku, a stal sa kňazom výšin.

34 (KJV) And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
34 (KAT) Toto viedlo dom Jeroboama k hriechu i k tomu, že bol zničený a vyhubený z povrchu zeme.
