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.

One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”

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.

Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”

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

Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.

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 take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”

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

[So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling 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.

Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.

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.

When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].

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.

One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.

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

One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.

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

I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].

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

One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.

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

He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],

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.

Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”

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

[Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”

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

Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,

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

Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”

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

But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.

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

When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].

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

[Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”

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

So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.

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

She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.

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.

She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].

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

Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”

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

So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”

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.

As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!

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.

Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”

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.

But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”

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

Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]

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 Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”

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 boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].

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.

Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”

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

When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.

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

Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.

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 lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become 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.

Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!

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

Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”

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

She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.

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.

Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”

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.

One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.

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.

He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.

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

Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.

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.

One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”

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 exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”

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

After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
