1 Královská 19
1 Tedy oznámil Achab Jezábel všecko to, což učinil Eliáš, a že naprosto všecky proroky její pobil mečem.
Then Ahab reported to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets 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.
And so Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods do these things, and may they add these other things, if by this hour tomorrow I will not have made your life like the life of one of them.”
3 Což když zvěděl, vstana, odšel pro zachování života svého, a přišel do Bersabé, jenž jest v Judstvu, kdež nechal mládence svého.
Therefore, Elijah was afraid. And rising up, he went away to wherever his will would carry him. And he arrived in Beersheba of Judah. And he dismissed his servant there.
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.
And he continued on, into the desert, for one day’s journey. And when he had arrived, and was sitting under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die. And he said: “It is enough for me, O Lord. Take my soul. 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 he stretched himself out, and he slept deeply in the shadow of the juniper tree. And behold, an Angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him, “Rise up and eat.”
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.
He looked, and behold, at his head was bread baked under ashes, and a container of water. Then he ate and drank, and again he slept deeply.
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 returned a second time, and touched him, and said to him: “Rise up, eat. For a great journey again stands before you.”
8 A vstav, jedl a pil, a šel v síle pokrmu toho čtyřidceti dní a čtyřidceti nocí, až na horu Boží Oréb.
And he when he had risen up, he ate and drank. And he walked by the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God, Horeb.
9 Kdežto všed do jakési jeskyně, nocoval tam. A aj, řeč Hospodinova k němu, a řekl jemu: Co tu děláš, Eliáši?
And when he had arrived there, he stayed in a cave. And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said to him, “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 responded: “I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”
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.
And he said to him, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by. And there was a great and strong wind, tearing apart the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12 A za třesením oheň, ale nebyl v ohni Hospodin. A za ohněm hlas tichý a temný.
And after the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the whisper of a gentle breeze.
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 when Elijah had heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, and going out, he stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there was a voice to him, saying: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” And he responded:
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.
“I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”
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, and return on your way, through the desert, to Damascus. And when you have arrived there, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Syria.
16 Jéhu také syna Namsi pomažeš za krále nad Izraelem, a Elizea syna Safatova z Abelmehula pomažeš za proroka místo sebe.
And you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, as king over Israel. But Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who is from Abelmeholah, you shall anoint to be a 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 this shall be: whoever will have escaped from the sword of Hazael, will be slain by Jehu. And whoever will have escaped from the sword of Jehu, will be put to death by Elisha.
18 Zachovalť jsem pak v Izraeli sedm tisíců, jichžto všech kolena neskláněla se Bálovi, a jichžto všech ústa nelíbala ho.
And I will leave for myself seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bent before Baal, and every mouth that has not adored him, kissing hands.”
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.
Therefore, Elijah, setting out from there, found Elisha, the son of Shaphat, plowing with twelve yoke of oxen. And he himself was one of those who were plowing with the twelve yoke of oxen. And when Elijah had gone to him, he cast his mantle over 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 immediately, leaving behind the oxen, he ran after Elijah. And he said, “I beg you to let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him: “Go, and turn back. For what was mine to do, I have done concerning 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.
Then, turning back from him, he took a pair of oxen, and he slew them. And he cooked the flesh with the plow of the oxen. And he gave it to the people, and they ate. And rising up, he went and followed Elijah, and he ministered to him.
