1 Královská 22
1 Nebylo pak za tři léta války mezi Syrskými a Izraelskými.
For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
2 I stalo se léta třetího, přijel Jozafat král Judský k králi Izraelskému.
Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
3 Mluvil pak byl král Izraelský služebníkům svým: Víte-li, že naše bylo Rámot Galád, a my zanedbáváme vzíti ho zase z moci krále Syrského?
[While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
4 Pročež řekl Jozafatovi: Potáhneš-li se mnou na vojnu proti Rámot Galád? Odpověděl Jozafat králi Izraelskému: Jako jsem já, tak jsi ty, jako lid můj, tak lid tvůj, jako koni moji, tak koni tvoji.
Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
5 Řekl také Jozafat králi Izraelskému: Vzeptej se dnes medle na slovo Hospodinovo.
Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
6 I shromáždil král Izraelský proroků okolo čtyř set mužů a řekl jim: Mám-li táhnouti na vojnu proti Rámot Galád, či tak nechati? I řekli: Táhni, nebo dá je Pán v ruku krále.
So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
7 Tedy řekl Jozafat: Což není zde již žádného proroka Hospodinova, abychom se ho zeptali?
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
8 Na to řekl král Izraelský Jozafatovi: Ještěť jest muž jeden, skrze něhož bychom se mohli poraditi s Hospodinem, ale já ho nenávidím, proto že mi dobrého neprorokuje, než zlé, Micheáš syn Jemlův. Ale Jozafat řekl: Nechť tak nemluví král.
The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
9 Protož povolav král Izraelský komorníka jednoho, řekl: Přiveď sem rychle Micheáše syna Jemlova.
So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
10 (Mezi tím král Izraelský a Jozafat král Judský, jeden každý na stolici své, odění jsouce rouchem, seděli v placu u vrat brány Samařské, a všickni proroci prorokovali před nimi.
The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
11 Sedechiáš pak syn Kenanův udělal sobě byl rohy železné a řekl: Takto praví Hospodin: Těmito trkati budeš Syrské, dokudž nepohubíš jich.
One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
12 Takž podobně i jiní všickni proroci prorokovali, řkouce: Jeď do Rámot Galád, a šťastněť se povede; nebo dá je Hospodin v ruku královu.)
All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
13 V tom posel ten, kterýž šel, aby zavolal Micheáše, mluvil jemu, řka: Aj, nyní slova proroků jedněmi ústy předpovídají dobré věci králi. Medle, buď řeč tvá jako řeč kterého z nich, a mluv dobré věci.
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
14 Tedy řekl Micheáš: Živť jest Hospodin, že což mi koli řekne Hospodin, to mluviti budu.
But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
15 A když přišel k králi, řekl jemu král: Micheáši, máme-li jeti na vojnu proti Rámot Galád, či tak nechati? Kterýž řekl jemu: Jeď a šťastněť se povede, nebo dá je Hospodin v ruku krále.
When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
16 I řekl jemu král: I kolikrátž tě mám přísahou zavazovati, abys mi nemluvil než pravdu ve jménu Hospodinovu?
But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
17 Protož řekl: Viděl jsem všecken lid Izraelský rozptýlený po horách jako ovce, kteréž nemají pastýře; nebo řekl Hospodin: Nemají pána tito, navrať se jeden každý do domu svého v pokoji.
So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
18 I řekl král Izraelský Jozafatovi: Zdaližť jsem neřekl, že mi nebude prorokovati dobrého, ale zlé?
Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
19 Řekl dále: Z té příčiny slyš slovo Hospodinovo: Viděl jsem Hospodina sedícího na stolici své, a všecko vojsko nebeské stojící po pravici jeho i po levici jeho.
But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
20 I řekl Hospodin: Kdo oklamá Achaba, aby vytáhl a padl u Rámot Galád? A když pravil ten toto, a jiný pravil jiné,
And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
21 Tožť vyšel jakýsi duch, a postaviv se před Hospodinem, řekl: Já ho oklamám. Hospodin pak řekl jemu: Jakým způsobem?
Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
22 Odpověděl: Vyjdu a budu duchem lživým v ústech všech proroků jeho. Kterýžto řekl: Oklamáš a dovedeš toho; vyjdiž a učiň tak.
Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
23 Protož, aj, jižtě dal Hospodin ducha lživého v ústa všech proroků tvých těchto, ješto však Hospodin mluvil zlé proti tobě.
So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
24 Tedy přistoupiv Sedechiáš syn Kenanův, dal Micheášovi poliček a řekl: Kudyže odšel duch Hospodinův ode mne, aby mluvil tobě?
Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
25 Odpověděl Micheáš: Aj, uzříš v ten den, když vejdeš do nejtajnějšího pokoje, abys se skryl.
Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
26 I řekl král Izraelský: Jmi Micheáše, a doveď ho k Amonovi knížeti města, a k Joasovi synu královu.
King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
27 A řekneš: Takto praví král: Dejte tohoto do žaláře, a dávejte mu jísti maličko chleba a maličko vody, dokudž se nenavrátím v pokoji.
Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
28 Ale Micheáš řekl: Jestliže ty se navrátíš v pokoji, tedyť nemluvil skrze mne Hospodin. Přes to řekl: Slyštež to všickni lidé!
Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
29 A tak táhl král Izraelský, a Jozafat král Judský proti Rámot Galád.
So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
30 I řekl král Izraelský Jozafatovi: Změním já se, když půjdu k bitvě, ale ty oblec se v roucho své. I změnil se král Izraelský a jel k bitvě.
King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
31 Král pak Syrský přikázal třidcíti dvěma svým hejtmanům nad vozy, a řekl: Nebojujte proti malému ani proti velikému, než proti samému králi Izraelskému.
The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
32 I stalo se, když uzřeli hejtmané nad vozy Jozafata, řekli: Jistě král Izraelský jest. I obrátili se proti němu, aby bojovali. Tedy zkřikl Jozafat.
So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
33 V tom když uzřeli hejtmané nad vozy, že on není král Izraelský, obrátili se od něho.
they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
34 Muž pak jeden střelil z lučiště náhodou, a postřelil krále Izraelského, kdež se pancíř spojuje. Pročež řekl vozkovi svému: Obrať se a vyvez mne z vojska, nebo jsem nemocen.
But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
35 I rozmohla se bitva v ten den. Král pak stál na voze proti Syrským; potom umřel u večer, a tekla krev z rány do vozu.
The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
36 I volal biřic po vojště, když již slunce zapadlo, řka: Jeden každý do města svého, a jeden každý do země své navrať se.
Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
37 Umřel tedy král a dovezen jest do Samaří, i pochovali ho v Samaří.
So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
38 A když pohřížen byl vůz v rybníku Samařském, střebali psi krev jeho, též když umývali zbroj jeho, vedlé řeči Hospodinovy, kterouž byl mluvil.
They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
39 Jiné pak věci Achabovy, a cožkoli činil, i jaký dům z kostí slonových vystavěl, i všecka města, kteráž vzdělal, o tom zapsáno jest v knize o králích Izraelských.
The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
40 A tak usnul Achab s otci svými, a kraloval Ochoziáš syn jeho místo něho.
When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
41 Jozafat pak syn Azy počal kralovati nad Judou léta čtvrtého Achaba, krále Izraelského.
Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
42 A byl Jozafat ve třidcíti pěti letech, když počal kralovati, a dvadceti pět let kraloval nad Jeruzalémem, jehož matky jméno bylo Azuba, dcera Silchi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 I chodil po vší cestě Azy otce svého, aniž se od ní uchýlil, čině, což dobrého bylo před oblíčejem Hospodinovým. Toliko poněvadž výsostí nezkazili, ještě lid obětoval a kadil na těch výsostech.
Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
44 Všel také v pokoj král Jozafat s králem Izraelským.
Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
45 Jiné pak věci Jozafatovy, i síla jeho, kterouž prokazoval a kterouž bojoval, zapsány jsou v knize o králích Judských.
All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
46 Ten ostatky ohyzdných sodomářů, kteříž ještě pozůstali za dnů Azy otce jeho, vyplénil z země.
Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
47 Tehdáž nebylo žádného krále v zemi Idumejské, hejtmana měli místo krále.
At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
48 I nadělal Jozafat lodí mořských, aby jeli do Ofir pro zlato. Ale nejeli, nebo polámaly se lodí v Aziongaber.
Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
49 Řekl byl také Ochoziáš syn Achabův Jozafatovi: Nechť jedou služebníci moji s služebníky tvými na lodech. Ale Jozafat nechtěl.
Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 I usnul Jozafat s otci svými, a pochován jest s otci svými v městě Davida otce svého; kraloval pak Joram syn jeho místo něho.
When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
51 Ochoziáš syn Achabův počal kralovati nad Izraelem v Samaří, léta sedmnáctého Jozafata krále Judského, a kraloval nad Izraelem dvě létě.
Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
52 Nebo činil zlé věci před oblíčejem Hospodinovým, a chodil po cestě otce svého a po cestě matky své, i po cestě Jeroboáma syna Nebatova, kterýž přivodil k hřešení lid Izraelský.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
53 Sloužil také Bálovi a klaněl se jemu, čímž popudil k hněvu Hospodina Boha Izraelského vedlé toho všeho, což činil otec jeho.
Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
