2 Královská 2
1 Stalo se potom, když měl již vzíti Hospodin Eliáše u vichru do nebe, že vyšel Eliáš s Elizeem z Galgala.
Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 I řekl Eliáš Elizeovi: Medle, poseď tuto, nebo Hospodin poslal mne až do Bethel. Jemuž řekl Elizeus: Živť jest Hospodin, a živať jest duše tvá, žeť se tebe nespustím. I přišli do Bethel.
And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.
3 Tedy vyšli synové proročtí, kteříž byli v Bethel, k Elizeovi a řekli jemu: Víš-liž, že dnes Hospodin vezme pána tvého od tebe? Kterýž odpověděl: A já vím, mlčte.
And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
4 Opět řekl jemu Eliáš: Elizee, medle poseď tuto, nebo Hospodin poslal mne do Jericha. Kterýž odpověděl: Živť jest Hospodin, a živať jest duše tvá, žeť se tebe nespustím. I přišli do Jericha.
Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.
5 Přistoupivše pak synové proročtí, kteříž byli v Jerichu, k Elizeovi, řekli jemu: Víš-liž, že dnes vezme Hospodin pána tvého od tebe? I řekl: A já vím, mlčte.
And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
6 Řekl mu ještě Eliáš: Poseď medle tuto, nebo Hospodin poslal mne k Jordánu. Kterýž odpověděl: Živť jest Hospodin, a živať jest duše tvá, žeť se tebe nespustím. Šli tedy oba.
Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.
7 Padesáte pak mužů z synů prorockých šli, a postavili se naproti zdaleka, ale oni oba zastavili se u Jordánu.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
8 A vzav Eliáš plášť svůj, svinul jej a udeřil na vodu. I rozdělila se sem i tam, tak že přešli oba po suše.
Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.
9 V tom když přešli, řekl Eliáš Elizeovi: Žádej sobě, co chceš, prvé než vzat budu od tebe. I řekl Elizeus: Nechť jest, prosím, dvojnásobní díl ducha tvého na mně.
And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.
10 Jemuž řekl: Nesnadnés věci požádal, a však jestliže uzříš mne, když budu vzat od tebe, staneť se tak; pakli nic, nestane se.
And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.
11 Takž stalo se, že když předce jdouce, rozmlouvali, aj, vůz ohnivý a koni ohniví rozdělili je na různo. I vstoupil Eliáš u vichru do nebe.
And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.
12 To vida Elizeus, volal: Otče můj, otče můj! Vozové Izraelští i jezdci jeho! A neviděl ho více. Potom uchopiv roucho své, roztrhl je na dva kusy.
And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
13 A zdvih plášť Eliášův, kterýž byl spadl s něho, navrátil se a stál na břehu Jordánském.
Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.
14 Tedy vzav plášť Eliášův, kterýž byl spadl s něho, udeřil na vodu a řekl: Kdež jest Hospodin Bůh Eliášův i on sám? A udeřil, pravím, na vodu, kteráž rozstoupila se sem i tam. I přešel Elizeus.
And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.
15 Což vidouce synové proročtí z Jericha, naproti stojíce, řekli: Odpočinul duch Eliášův na Elizeovi. I šli proti němu a poklonili se mu až k zemi.
And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.
16 A řekli jemu: Aj, nyní jest s služebníky tvými padesáte mužů silných, medle nechť jdou a hledají pána tvého. Snad ho zanesl duch Hospodinův, a povrhl jej na některé hoře aneb v některém údolí. Kterýž řekl: Neposílejte.
And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.
17 Ale když na něj vždy dotírali, tak že mu to obtížné bylo, řekl: Pošlete. I poslali padesáte mužů, a hledajíce za tři dni, nenalezli ho.
But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.
18 A když se k němu navrátili, (on pak bydlil v Jerichu, ) řekl jim: Zdaliž jsem vám neřekl: Nechoďte?
And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Muži pak města toho řekli Elizeovi: Hle, nyní byt v městě tomto jest výborný, jakož, pane můj, vidíš, ale vody jsou zlé a země neúrodná.
Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.
20 Tedy řekl: Přineste mi nádobu novou, a dejte do ní soli. I přinesli mu.
So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.
21 A vyšed k pramenu těch vod, vsypal tam sůl a řekl: Takto praví Hospodin: Uzdravuji vody tyto; nebudeť více odtud smrti, ani nedochůdčete.
Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.
22 A tak uzdraveny jsou ty vody až do dnešního dne, vedlé řeči Elizeovy, kterouž byl mluvil.
And the water was made sweet again to this day, as Elisha said.
23 Potom šel odtud do Bethel. A když šel cestou, pacholata malá vyšedše z města, posmívali se jemu, říkajíce: Jdi lysý, jdi lysý!
Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!
24 Kterýž ohlédna se, uzřel je a zlořečil jim ve jménu Hospodinovu. Protož vyskočivše dvě nedvědice z lesa, roztrhaly z nich čtyřidcatero a dvé dětí.
And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.
25 I šel odtud na horu Karmel, odkudž navrátil se do Samaří.
From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.
