< 2 Královská 2 >

1 Stalo se potom, když měl již vzíti Hospodin Eliáše u vichru do nebe, že vyšel Eliáš s Elizeem z Galgala.
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that 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, Tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said to him, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.
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 the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.
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.
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came 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 the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.
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.
And Elijah said to him, Tarry, I pray you, here; for the LORD has sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.
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, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by 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.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
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 it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion 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 asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall 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 it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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 Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 A zdvih plášť Eliášův, kterýž byl spadl s něho, navrátil se a stál na břehu Jordánském.
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank 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 the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and thither: 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 which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground 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 to him, Behold now, there be with your servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray you, and seek your master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up, and cast him on some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You shall not send.
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.
And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 A když se k němu navrátili, (on pak bydlil v Jerichu), řekl jim: Zdaliž jsem vám neřekl: Nechoďte?
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) 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.
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
20 Tedy řekl: Přineste mi nádobu novou, a dejte do ní soli. I přinesli mu.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought 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.
And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land.
22 A tak uzdraveny jsou ty vody až do dnešního dne, vedlé řeči Elizeovy, kterouž byl mluvil.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Potom šel odtud do Bethel. A když šel cestou, pacholata malá vyšedše z města, posmívali se jemu, říkajíce: Jdi lysý, jdi lysý!
And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you bald head; go up, you bald head.
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 he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
25 I šel odtud na horu Karmel, odkudž navrátil se do Samaří.
And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
