1. kniha kráľov

1 (KJV) And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
1 (KAT) Benadad, kráľ Aramu, zhromaždil celé svoje vojsko. Išlo s ním tridsaťdva kráľov s koňmi a vozmi. Vystúpil, obkľúčil Samáriu a útočil na ňu.

2 (KJV) And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
2 (KAT) Poslal poslov do mesta k izraelskému kráľovi Achabovi

3 (KJV) Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
3 (KAT) a odkázal mu: „Takto hovorí Benadad: Tvoje striebro a tvoje zlato patrí mne, aj tvoje ženy a najlepšie deti sú moje.“

4 (KJV) And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
4 (KAT) Kráľ Izraela odpovedal: „Ako hovoril môj pán, kráľ, tvoj som ja i všetko, čo mám.“

5 (KJV) And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
5 (KAT) Posli prišli zasa a vraveli: „Takto hovorí Benadad: Poslal som k tebe s odkazom: Svoje striebro a svoje zlato, svoje ženy a svojich synov daj mne!

6 (KJV) Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
6 (KAT) Keď zajtra o tomto čase pošlem k tebe svojich sluhov, oni prehľadajú tvoj dom a domy tvojich sluhov, vezmú všetko, čo sa im bude páčiť, a odnesú.“

7 (KJV) Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
7 (KAT) Nato izraelský kráľ zvolal všetkých starších krajiny a hovoril: „Zreteľne vidíte, že tento má zlé úmysly. Veď poslal ku mne po moje ženy a deti, po moje zlato a striebro a neodoprel som mu.“

8 (KJV) And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
8 (KAT) Všetci starší a všetok ľud mu povedali: „Neposlúchni a nepovoľ!“

9 (KJV) Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
9 (KAT) Preto povedal Benadadovým poslom: „Povedzte môjmu pánovi, kráľovi: Všetko, po čo si k svojmu služobníkovi poslal prvý raz, urobím, ale túto vec nemôžem urobiť.“ Posli odišli a oznámili mu to.

10 (KJV) And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
10 (KAT) A Benadad mu poslal odkaz: „Nech bohovia urobia so mnou, čo chcú, ak bude prach Samárie stačiť do dlaní všetkého ľudu, ktorý je so mnou.“

11 (KJV) And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
11 (KAT) Izraelský kráľ odpovedal: „Hovorí sa: »Nech sa opásaný nevychvaľuje ako odpásaný.«“

12 (KJV) And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions,that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
12 (KAT) Keď Benadad počul túto reč - práve pil s kráľmi v stanoch -, povedal svojim poddaným: „Útočte!“ I zaútočili na mesto.

13 (KJV) And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it in to thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
13 (KAT) V tom pristúpil k Achabovi, kráľovi Izraela, istý prorok a povedal: „Toto hovorí Pán: Videl si celý tento velikánsky zástup? Dnes ho dám do tvojej ruky, aby si videl, že ja som Pán.“

14 (KJV) And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
14 (KAT) Achab sa opýtal: „Pomocou koho?“ Odpovedal: „Toto hovorí Pán: Pomocou sluhov krajových kniežat.“ Opýtal sa: „Kto má otvoriť boj?“ Odpovedal: „Ty.“

15 (KJV) Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
15 (KAT) Nato spočítal sluhov krajových kniežat, bolo ich dvestotridsaťdva. Potom spočítal celé vojsko, všetkých synov Izraela: sedemtisíc.

16 (KJV) And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
16 (KAT) I vyrazili napoludnie, keď sa Benadad opíjal v stanoch, on i králi, tridsiati dvaja králi, ktorí mu prišli na pomoc.

17 (KJV) And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
17 (KAT) Najprv vyrazili sluhovia krajových kniežat. Vtedy poslali k Benadadovi a oznámili mu: „Zo Samárie vychádzajú ľudia!“

18 (KJV) And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
18 (KAT) On vravel: „Ak prichádzajú o mier, chyťte ich živých, a ak vychádzajú do boja, chyťte ich (tiež) živých!“

19 (KJV) So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
19 (KAT) Oni však už vytiahli z mesta, totiž sluhovia krajových kniežat a vojsko, ktoré išlo za nimi.

20 (KJV) And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
20 (KAT) Každý zabil svojho chlapa, takže Aramejčania utiekli. Izraeliti ich prenasledovali, ale aramejský kráľ Benadad ušiel na koni i s jazdcami.

21 (KJV) And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
21 (KAT) Vyrazil aj izraelský kráľ, ukoristil kone a vozy a zapríčinil Aramejčanom veľkú porážku.

22 (KJV) And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thy self, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
22 (KAT) Vtedy ku kráľovi Izraela pristúpil prorok a povedal mu: „Choď, daj dohromady sily a dobre uváž, čo máš robiť, lebo kráľ Aramu na takto rok vytiahne proti tebe!“

23 (KJV) And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
23 (KAT) Sluhovia vraveli aramejskému kráľovi: „Ich Boh je horský Boh, preto nás premohli. Ak budeme s nimi bojovať na rovine, porazíme ich.

24 (KJV) And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
24 (KAT) A urob to takto: Odstráň kráľov, každého z jeho zadelenia, a postav namiesto nich námestníkov!

25 (KJV) And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
25 (KAT) Ty si však nazbieraj vojsko, ako bolo vojsko, ktoré si stratil, i kone, ako si mal predtým. Potom budeme s nimi bojovať na rovine, či ich nepremôžeme!“ On poslúchol ich radu a urobil tak.

26 (KJV) And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
26 (KAT) Po uplynutí roku zhromaždil Benadad Aramejčanov a vystúpil do Afeku bojovať proti Izraelitom.

27 (KJV) And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
27 (KAT) Aj synovia Izraela sa zhromaždili, zásobili sa a išli proti nim. Synovia Izraela táborili proti nim ako dva kŕdliky kôz, Aramejčania však zaplnili krajinu.

28 (KJV) And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
28 (KAT) Vtedy pristúpil Boží muž a oslovil izraelského kráľa: „Toto hovorí Pán: Pretože Aramejčania povedali: »Pán je Boh vrchov, a nie Boh dolín,« vydám ti do ruky celý tento veličizný zástup, aby ste poznali, že ja som Pán.“

29 (KJV) And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
29 (KAT) Sedem dní táborili proti sebe; na siedmy deň sa strhol boj a synovia Izraela porazili Aramejčanov, a to stotisíc pešiakov v jeden deň.

30 (KJV) But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
30 (KAT) Ostatní utekali do Afeku, do mesta, a tam padol múr na dvadsaťsedemtisíc tých, čo zostali. Utiekol aj Benadad. Došiel do mesta (a behal) z izby do izby.

31 (KJV) And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
31 (KAT) Jeho sluhovia mu povedali: „Počuli sme, že králi izraelského domu sú králi milosrdní. Obhoďme si okolo bedier vrecovinu, okolo hlavy povrazy a vyjdime k izraelskému kráľovi, azda nás nechá nažive.“

32 (KJV) So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
32 (KAT) Opásali si teda okolo bedier vrecovinu a povrazy okolo hlavy, išli k izraelskému kráľovi a vraveli: „Tvoj sluha Benadad hovorí: Nechaj ma, prosím, nažive!“ Odpovedal: „Je ešte nažive? Je mojím bratom!“

33 (KJV) Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
33 (KAT) Chlapi to brali za dobrý znak, rýchlo ho chytili za slovo a povedali: „Benadad je tvoj brat.“ Odpovedal: „Choďte, priveďte ho!“ Keď Benadad prišiel k nemu, vyzdvihol ho na voz

34 (KJV) And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
34 (KAT) a povedal mu: „Mestá, ktoré môj otec odňal tvojmu otcovi, ti vrátim. V Damasku si porob ulice, ako môj otec urobil v Samárii. A ja po uzavretí zmluvy odtiahnem od teba.“ Uzavrel teda s ním zmluvu a prepustil ho.

35 (KJV) And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
35 (KAT) Vtedy ktorýsi z prorockých synov na Pánov popud povedal svojmu priateľovi: „Zbi ma!“ Ale ten muž sa zdráhal udrieť ho.

36 (KJV) Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
36 (KAT) I povedal mu: „Pretože si nepočúval hlas Pána, len čo vyjdeš odo mňa zabije ťa lev.“ A keď odchádzal od neho, napadol ho lev a zabil ho.

37 (KJV) Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
37 (KAT) Stretol iného človeka a povedal: „Zbi ma!“ On ho tak zbil, až ho poranil.

38 (KJV) So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
38 (KAT) Nato prorok išiel, stal si kráľovi do cesty, ale obväzom okolo očí sa prestrojil,

39 (KJV) And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
39 (KAT) a keď kráľ prechádzal, volal na kráľa: „Tvoj sluha vytiahol do boja a vtedy odbočil akýsi človek, doviedol ku mne muža a povedal: »Stráž tohto človeka! Ak sa stratí, ručíš mi za jeho život svojím životom, alebo zaplatíš hrivnu striebra.«

40 (KJV) And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
40 (KAT) Kým však mal tvoj sluha tu i tam robotu, toho nebolo.“ Nato mu izraelský kráľ povedal: „To je tvoj rozsudok, ktorý si si sám vyniesol!“

41 (KJV) And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
41 (KAT) Vtom si rýchlo odstránil obväz z očí a kráľ Izraela ho spoznal; že je spomedzi prorokov.

42 (KJV) And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
42 (KAT) I povedal mu: „Toto hovorí Pán: Pretože si vypustil z ruky muža, ktorý prepadol mojej kliatbe, bude tvoj život za jeho život a tvoj ľud za jeho ľud.“

43 (KJV) And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
43 (KAT) A izraelský kráľ odišiel domov namrzený a išiel do Samárie.
