1. kniha kráľov

1 (KJV) And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
1 (KAT) Po dlhšom čase, v treťom roku Pán oslovil Eliáša: „Choď, ukáž sa Achabovi, potom dám dážď na zem!“

2 (KJV) And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
2 (KAT) Eliáš sa teda išiel ukázať Achabovi. V Samárii však bol hrozný hlad.

3 (KJV) And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
3 (KAT) Achab zavolal správcu domu Abdiáša. Abdiáš si veľmi ctil Pána

4 (KJV) For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
4 (KAT) a keď Jezabel zabíjala Pánových prorokov, vzal Abdiáš sto prorokov a po päťdesiat ich schovával v jaskyni a zásoboval ich chlebom a vodou.

5 (KJV) And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
5 (KAT) Achab povedal Abdiášovi: „Choď ku všetkým vodným prameňom v krajine a ku všetkým potokom, azda nájdeme trávu a uživíme kone a mulice a nemusíme zo zvierat nič zmárniť.“

6 (KJV) So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
6 (KAT) I rozdelili si krajinu, aby ňou prešli. Achab išiel jednou cestou sám a Abdiáš išiel sám druhou cestou.

7 (KJV) And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
7 (KAT) Keď bol Abdiáš na ceste, práve išiel oproti nemu Eliáš. Keď ho spoznal, padol na tvár a spýtal sa: „Si to ty, môj pán, Eliáš?“

8 (KJV) And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
8 (KAT) Odpovedal mu: „Ja. Choď a povedz svojmu pánovi: »Je tu Eliáš!«“

9 (KJV) And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
9 (KAT) Ale on vravel: „Čím som sa previnil, že vydávaš svojho sluhu do Achabovej ruky, aby ma zabil?

10 (KJV) As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
10 (KAT) Ako žije Pán, tvoj Boh, niet národa ani kráľovstva, kde by môj pán nebol poslal hľadať ťa a keď mu povedali: »Niet ho,« vyžiadal od kráľovstva a národa prísahu, že ťa nemožno nájsť.

11 (KJV) And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
11 (KAT) A ty teraz vravíš: »Choď, povedz svojmu pánovi: Je tu Eliáš!«

12 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
12 (KAT) A keď odídem od teba, Pánov duch ťa odnesie ktovie kam. Ja však pôjdem a oznámim to Achabovi, a keď ťa nenájdu, zabije ma. A tvoj sluha je predsa od mladi Pánovým ctiteľom.

13 (KJV) Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
13 (KAT) Či nepovedali môjmu pánovi, čo som urobil, keď Jezabel zabíjala Pánových prorokov? Že som z Pánových prorokov sto mužov schovával po päťdesiatich v jaskyni a živil som ich chlebom a vodou?

14 (KJV) And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
14 (KAT) A teraz ty vravíš: »Choď, povedz svojmu pánovi: Je tu Eliáš!«, aby ma zabil.“

15 (KJV) And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
15 (KAT) Ale Eliáš povedal: „Ako žije Pán zástupov, v službe ktorého stojím, dnes sa mu ukážem!“

16 (KJV) So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
16 (KAT) Abdiáš teda išiel oproti Achabovi, oznámil mu to a Achab šiel v ústrety Eliášovi.

17 (KJV) And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
17 (KAT) Keď Achab zazrel Eliáša, Achab sa ho spýtal: „Si to ty, záhubca Izraela?“

18 (KJV) And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
18 (KAT) Odpovedal: „Nie ja zapríčiňujem záhubu Izraela, ale ty a dom tvojho otca, lebo ste opustili Pánove príkazy a šli ste za bálmi.

19 (KJV) Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
19 (KAT) Teraz však pošli a daj zvolať ku mne celý Izrael na vrch Karmel, aj štyristopäťdesiat Bálových prorokov a štyristo prorokov Ašery, ktorí jedia z Jezabelinho stola!“

20 (KJV) So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
20 (KAT) Achab poslal ku všetkým synom Izraela a zhromaždil prorokov na vrch Karmel.

21 (KJV) And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
21 (KAT) Vtedy Eliáš pristúpil ku všetkému ľudu a hovoril: „Dokedy budete kuľhať na dve strany? Ak je Pán Bohom, choďte za ním, ak Bál, choďte za tým!“ Ľud mu nič neodpovedal.

22 (KJV) Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
22 (KAT) A Eliáš hovoril ľudu: „Ja sám som zostal z Pánových prorokov, prorokov Bálových je však štyristopäťdesiat mužov.

23 (KJV) Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
23 (KAT) Nech nám dajú dva býky. Oni nech si vyberú jedného býčka, nech ho rozsekajú, pokladú na drevo, ale oheň nech nepodkladajú. Potom ja pripravím druhého býčka, položím ho na drevo a tiež nepodložím oheň.

24 (KJV) And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
24 (KAT) Potom vzývajte meno svojho boha a ja budem vzývať meno Pánovo. A Boh, ktorý odpovie ohňom, ten je Boh.“ Všetok ľud na to odpovedal: „Návrh je dobrý!“

25 (KJV) And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
25 (KAT) Eliáš hovoril Bálovým prorokom: „Vyberte si jedného býčka a pripravte prví, lebo vás je viac. A vzývajte meno svojho boha, ale oheň nepodkladajte!“

26 (KJV) And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
26 (KAT) Vzali teda býčka, ktorého im dal, pripravili ho a od rána až do poludnia vzývali Bálovo meno: „Bál, vyslyš nás!“ No nebolo hláska, nebolo odpovede. I skákali okolo oltára, ktorý spravili.

27 (KJV) And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
27 (KAT) Napoludnie sa im Eliáš posmieval: „Kričte nahlas, je predsa boh! Azda je zamestnaný, alebo sa utiahol, alebo odcestoval, alebo azda spí, nech sa zobudí!“

28 (KJV) And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
28 (KAT) Kričali teda nahlas, potom si podľa svojho zvyku mečmi a oštepmi robili zárezy, až boli zaliati krvou.

29 (KJV) And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
29 (KAT) Prešlo aj poludnie a oni vykrikovali až do času obety, ale nik sa neozval, nik neodpovedal, nik si nevšímal.

30 (KJV) And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
30 (KAT) Vtedy hovoril Eliáš všetkému ľudu: „Poďte ku mne!“ Všetok ľud pristúpil k nemu a on opravil zborený Pánov oltár.

31 (KJV) And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
31 (KAT) Eliáš vzal dvanásť kameňov podľa počtu synov Jakuba, ktorému Pán povedal: „Izrael bude tvoje meno.“

32 (KJV) And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
32 (KAT) Z kameňov postavil oltár v Pánovom mene a okolo oltára urobil jarček na dve sey zrna.

33 (KJV) And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
33 (KAT) Poukladal drevo, rozsekal býčka a položil ho na drevo.

34 (KJV) And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
34 (KAT) Potom povedal: „Naplňte štyri vedrá vodou a vylejte na obetu a na drevo!“ Nato vravel: „I druhý raz!“ Urobili to aj druhý raz. Vtedy povedal: „I tretí raz!“ A spravili to aj tretí raz,

35 (KJV) And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
35 (KAT) takže voda tiekla okolo oltára, aj jarček naplnila voda.

36 (KJV) And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
36 (KAT) Keď už bol čas obety, prorok Eliáš pristúpil a povedal: „Pane, Bože Abraháma, Izáka a Izraela, dnes ukáž, že ty si Boh v Izraeli a ja som tvoj služobník a že som toto všetko urobil na tvoje slovo!

37 (KJV) Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
37 (KAT) Vyslyš ma, Pane, vyslyš ma, nech sa tento ľud dozvie, že ty si Pán, Boh, a že ty si obrátil ich srdce späť!“

38 (KJV) Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
38 (KAT) Vtom spadol Pánov oheň a strávil obetu, drevo, kamene, zem a zlízal aj vodu, ktorá bola v jarčeku.

39 (KJV) And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
39 (KAT) Keď to všetok ľud videl, padol na tvár a hovoril: „Pán je Boh! Pán je Boh!“

40 (KJV) And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
40 (KAT) Nato im Eliáš povedal: „Pochytajte Bálových prorokov, nech z nich neujde ani jeden.“ Pochytali ich a Eliáš ich dal zaviesť k potoku Kišon a tam ich dal pobiť.

41 (KJV) And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
41 (KAT) Potom Eliáš povedal Achabovi: „Vystúp, jedz a pi, lebo počuť čľapot dažďa!“

42 (KJV) So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
42 (KAT) A Achab vystúpil jesť a piť. Eliáš však vyšiel na vrchol Karmelu, skrčil sa k zemi, tvár si dal medzi kolená

43 (KJV) And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
43 (KAT) a povedal svojmu sluhovi: „Choď hore a pozri sa smerom k moru!“ On šiel, pozrel sa a povedal: „Niet ničoho!“ Povedal mu: „Vráť sa sedem ráz!“

44 (KJV) And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
44 (KAT) Na siedmy raz však povedal: „Hľa, od mora vystupuje obláčik ako mužská dlaň!“ Nato mu povedal: „Choď a oznám Achabovi: Priahaj a choď dolu, aby ťa nezastihol dážď!“

45 (KJV) And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
45 (KAT) O chvíľu sa nebo zatiahlo oblakmi, strhol sa vietor a veľký dážď. Achab sadol do voza a išiel do Jezraelu.

46 (KJV) And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
46 (KAT) Na Eliáša sa však zniesla Pánova ruka, opásal si bedrá a bežal pred Achabom až ta, kadiaľ sa ide do Jezraelu.
