2 Královská 4

1 Tedy žena jedna z manželek synů prorockých volala k Elizeovi, řkuci: Služebník tvůj, muž můj, umřel, ty pak víš, že služebník tvůj bál se Hospodina. A teď věřitel přišel, aby vzal dva syny mé sobě za služebníky.

Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

2 Řekl jí Elizeus: Což chceš, ať učiním? Oznam mi, co máš v domě? Ona řekla: Nemáť služebnice tvá nic v domě, jediné báni oleje.

Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

3 I řekl: Jdi, vyžádej sobě nádob vně ode všech sousedů svých, nádob prázdných tím více.

Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

4 A vejda, zavři za sebou dvéře i za syny svými, a nalévej do všech těch nádob, a kteráž bude plná, rozkážeš ji odstaviti.

Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

5 A tak odešla od něho a zavřela dvéře za sebou a za syny svými. Oni podávali jí, a ona nalévala.

So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

6 I stalo se, že když naplnila ty nádoby, řekla synu svému: Podej mi ještě nádoby. Kterýž odpověděl: Již není více nádob. I přestal olej.

And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

7 Tedy ona přišedši, oznámila to muži Božímu. On pak řekl: Jdi, prodej ten olej, a spokoj věřitele svého, ty pak s syny svými budeš se živiti z ostatku.

So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

8 Potom stalo se některého času, že šel Elizeus skrze Sunem, kdež byla jedna žena vzácná, kteráž ho pozdržela, aby jedl u ní. A od toho času chodívaje tudy, stavoval se tam, a jídal chléb.

Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

9 Nebo řekla byla muži svému: Aj, nyní vím, že ten muž Boží svatý jest, kterýž často tudyto chodívá.

And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

10 Medle, udělejme pokojík malý, a postavme tam jemu ložce, stůl, stolici a svícen, aby, když by koli k nám přišel, obrátil se tam.

So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.

11 Některého tedy času přišel tam, a všed do toho pokojíku, odpočinul tu.

Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

12 I řekl Gézi služebníku svému: Zavolej té Sunamitské. Kterýž zavolal jí. I postavila se před ním.

And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

13 Přitom řekl jemu: Rci jí nyní: Hle, pečuješ a staráš se o nás všelijak. Co chceš, ať učiním? Máš-li jakou potřebu před králem aneb před hejtmanem vojska? Kteráž řekla: U prostřed lidu svého bydlím.

And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

14 Řekl on: Což tedy mám pro ni učiniti? Odpověděl Gézi: Hle, syna nemá, a muž její starý jest.

So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

15 Protož řekl: Zavolej jí. Takž jí zavolal, a ona stála u dveří.

Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.

16 I řekl: V času jistém vedlé času života chovati budeš syna. Řekla ona: Nechtěj, pane můj, muži Boží, nechtěj se posmívati služebnici své.

And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

17 Zatím počala žena a porodila syna v času jistém vedlé času života, kterýž předpověděl jí Elizeus.

Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

18 I rostlo dítě. Stalo se pak některého času, že vyšedši k otci svému k žencům,

Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.

19 Řeklo otci svému: Hlava má, hlava má! I řekl služebníku: Dones jej k matce jeho.

And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.

20 Kterýž když ho vzal a přinesl k matce jeho, seděl na klíně jejím až do poledne a umřel.

And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.

21 Tedy ona vstoupivši, položila jej na ložce muže Božího, a zavřevši ho, vyšla.

Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.

22 Potom zavolala muže svého a řekla: Medle, pošli mi jednoho z služebníků a jednu oslici, ať doběhnu až k muži Božímu, a zase se navrátím.

And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

23 Kterýž řekl: Proč chceš jíti k němu? Dnes není novměsíce, ani sobota. Odpověděla ona: Měj o to pokoj.

And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

24 Osedlavši tedy oslici, řekla služebníku svému: Pobádej a běž, a nemeškej se pro mne v jízdě, leč bych rozkázala tobě.

Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

25 A tak jela, až přijela k muži Božímu na horu Karmel. A když ji uzřel muž Boží zdaleka, řekl Gézi služebníku svému: Hle, Sunamitská tamto.

So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

26 Protož nyní běž jí v cestu a rci jí: Dobře-li se máš? Dobře-li se má muž tvůj? Dobře-li se má syn? Ona řekla: Dobře.

Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

27 V tom přišla k muži Božímu na horu, a chopila se noh jeho. I přistoupil Gézi, aby ji odehnal. Ale muž Boží řekl: Nechej jí; nebo v hořkosti jest duše její, a Hospodin zatajil to přede mnou, aniž mi oznámil.

And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

28 Ona pak řekla: Zdaliž jsem žádala syna od pána mého? Zdaliž jsem neřekla, abys mne nešálil?

Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

29 Tedy řekl k Gézi: Přepaš bedra svá, a vezmi hůl mou v ruku svou a jdi. Jestliže potkáš koho, nepozdravuj ho, a jestliže tě kdo pozdraví, neodpovídej jemu, a přijda, polož hůl mou na tvář dítěte.

Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

30 I řekla matka dítěte: Živť jest Hospodin a živať jest duše tvá, žeť se tebe nespustím. Protož vstav, bral se za ní.

But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

31 Gézi pak byl předšel je, a položil hůl na tvář dítěte, ale nebylo hlasu, ani čitelnosti. Pročež vracuje se jemu vstříc, pověděl mu, řka: Neprobudilo se dítě.

And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

32 Všel tedy Elizeus do domu, a aj, dítě mrtvé leželo na ložci jeho.

And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

33 A když všel tam, zavřel dvéře před oběma, a modlil se Hospodinu.

So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.

34 Zatím vstoupiv na lože, zpolehl na dítě, vloživ ústa svá na ústa jeho, a oči své na oči jeho, a ruce své na ruce jeho, a rozprostřel se nad ním. I zahřelo se tělo dítěte.

Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.

35 A odvrátiv se, procházel se po domě jednak sem jednak tam; potom vstoupiv, rozprostřel se opět nad ním. I kýchalo dítě až do sedmikrát, a otevřelo to dítě oči své.

Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

36 Tedy zavolav Gézi, řekl: Zavolej Sunamitské. I zavolal jí. A když přišla k němu, řekl jí: Vezmiž syna svého.

And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

37 Kteráž jakž vešla, padla k nohám jeho a poklonila se k zemi. I vzala syna svého a vyšla.

And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

38 Potom Elizeus navrátil se do Galgala. Byl pak hlad v té zemi, a synové proročtí seděli před ním. I řekl mládenci svému: Přistav hrnec veliký, a navař kaše synům prorockým.

And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

39 Protož vyšel jeden na pole, aby nasbíral zelin, a nalezl rév polní, a nasbíral z něho tykví polních plnou sukni svou, a přišed, skrájel to do hrnce, aby navařil kaše; nebo neznali toho.

And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

40 I vylili mužům těm, aby jedli. Stalo se pak, když jedli tu kaši, že zkřikli a řekli: Smrt v hrnci, muži Boží! A nemohli jísti.

Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

41 Kterýžto řekl: Vezměte mouky. Kteréž nasypav do hrnce, rozkázal vyliti lidu. I jedli, aniž co zlého bylo v hrnci.

But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

42 V tom muž přišel z Balsalisa, kterýž přinesl muži Božímu chleby z prvotin, totiž dvadceti chlebů ječných, a klasů nových nevymnutých. I řekl: Dej lidu, ať jedí.

Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

43 Odpověděl služebník jeho: Což to mám předložiti sto mužům? Opět řekl: Dej lidu, ať pojedí. Nebo tak praví Hospodin: Jísti budou, a ještě zůstane.

But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

44 A tak předložil jim, i jedli, a zůstalo ještě vedlé řeči Hospodinovy.

So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.
