1 Královská 19
1 Tedy oznámil Achab Jezábel všecko to, což učinil Eliáš, a že naprosto všecky proroky její pobil mečem.
Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.
2 A protož poslala Jezábel posla k Eliášovi, řkuci: Toto ať mi učiní bohové a toto přidadí, jestliže v tuto hodinu zítra neučiním tobě, jako ty kterému z nich.
Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
3 Což když zvěděl, vstana, odšel pro zachování života svého, a přišel do Bersabé, jenž jest v Judstvu, kdež nechal mládence svého.
And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;
4 Sám pak šel předce po poušti cestou dne jednoho, a přišed, usadil se pod jedním jalovcem, a žádal sobě smrti a řekl: Jižť jest dosti, ó Hospodine, vezmi duši mou, nebť nejsem lepší otců svých.
While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
5 I lehl a usnul pod tím jalovcem. A aj, v touž chvíli anděl dotekl se ho a řekl jemu: Vstaň, pojez.
And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.
6 A když pohleděl vůkol, a aj, u hlavy jeho chléb na uhlí pečený a číše vody. I pojedl a napil se, a lehl zase.
And looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep again.
7 Opět vrátiv se anděl Hospodinův po druhé, dotekl se ho a řekl: Vstaň, pojez, nebo velmi dlouhou máš cestu před sebou.
And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.
8 A vstav, jedl a pil, a šel v síle pokrmu toho čtyřidceti dní a čtyřidceti nocí, až na horu Boží Oréb.
So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.
9 Kdežto všed do jakési jeskyně, nocoval tam. A aj, řeč Hospodinova k němu, a řekl jemu: Co tu děláš, Eliáši?
And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
10 Kterýž odpověděl: Velice jsem horlil pro Hospodina Boha zástupů; nebo opustili smlouvu tvou synové Izraelští, oltáře tvé zbořili a proroky tvé zmordovali mečem. I zůstal jsem já sám, teď pak hledají života mého, aby mi jej odjali.
And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
11 Řekl Bůh: Vyjdi a stůj na hoře před Hospodinem. A aj, Hospodin šel tudy, a vítr veliký a silný, podvracující hory a rozrážející skály před Hospodinem, ale nebyl v tom větru Hospodin. Za tím pak větrem země třesení, ale nebyl v tom třesení Hospodin.
Then he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.
12 A za třesením oheň, ale nebyl v ohni Hospodin. A za ohněm hlas tichý a temný.
And after the earth-shock a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a soft breath.
13 Což když uslyšel Eliáš, zavinul tvář svou pláštěm svým, a vyšed, stál u dveří jeskyně, a aj, hlas k němu, řkoucí: Co tu děláš, Eliáši?
And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
14 Kterýž odpověděl: Náramně horlil jsem pro Hospodina Boha zástupů; nebo opustili smlouvu tvou synové Izraelští, oltáře tvé zbořili, a proroky tvé pomordovali mečem. I zůstal jsem já sám, teď pak hledají života mého, aby mi jej odjali.
And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
15 Ale Hospodin řekl jemu: Jdi, navrať se cestou svou k Damašské poušti, kdežto přijda, pomažeš Hazaele za krále nad Syrií.
And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram;
16 Jéhu také syna Namsi pomažeš za krále nad Izraelem, a Elizea syna Safatova z Abelmehula pomažeš za proroka místo sebe.
And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.
17 I stane se, že toho, kdož by ušel meče Hazaelova, zamorduje Jéhu, a toho, kdož by ušel meče Jéhu, zamorduje Elizeus.
And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.
18 Zachovalť jsem pak v Izraeli sedm tisíců, jichžto všech kolena neskláněla se Bálovi, a jichžto všech ústa nelíbala ho.
But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.
19 A tak odšed odtud, nalezl Elizea syna Safatova, an oře, a dvanáctero spřežení před ním, sám také byl při dvanáctém. A jda mimo něj Eliáš, uvrhl plášť svůj na něj.
So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.
20 Kterýž zanechav volů, běžel za Eliášem a řekl: Prosím, nechť políbím otce svého a matky své, i půjdu za tebou. Jemuž řekl: Jdi, vrať se zase, nebo vidíš, coť jsem učinil.
And letting the oxen be where they were, he came running after Elijah, and said, Only let me give a kiss to my father and mother, and then I will come after you. But he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?
21 Navrátil se tedy od něho, a vzav pár volů, zabil je a dřívím z pluhu uvařil maso jejich, kteréž dal lidu, i jedli. A vstav, šel za Eliášem a přisluhoval jemu.
And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.
