2 Královská 9
1 Prorok pak Elizeus povolal jednoho z synů prorockých, a řekl jemu: Přepaš bedra svá, a vezmi tuto nádobku oleje do ruky své, a jdi do Rámot Galád.
Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
2 A když tam přijdeš, uzříš tam Jéhu, syna Jozafata syna Namsi. K němuž když přijdeš, vyvoláš ho z prostředku bratří jeho, a uvedeš ho do nejtajnějšího pokojíku.
When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
3 A vezma nádobku oleje, vyleješ na hlavu jeho a díš: Toto praví Hospodin: Pomazuji tebe za krále nad Izraelem. A hned otevra dvéře, utec a nemeškej se.
and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
4 I odšel mládenec ten služebník prorokův do Rámot Galád.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
5 A když přišel, aj, knížata vojska seděli. I řekl: Mámť něco povědíti, ó kníže. I řekl Jéhu: Komu ze všech nás? Odpověděl: Tobě, ó kníže.
When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
6 Vyvstav tedy, všel do vnitřku. I vylil olej na hlavu jeho a řekl jemu: Toto praví Hospodin, Bůh Izraelský: Pomazuji tebe za krále nad lidem Hospodinovým, nad Izraelem.
So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
7 A zmorduješ dům Achaba pána svého; neboť pomstím krve služebníků svých proroků, a krve všech služebníků Hospodinových z ruky Jezábel.
You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
8 A tak zahyne všecken dům Achabův, a vypléním z domu Achabova močícího na stěnu, a zajatého i zanechaného v Izraeli.
You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
9 Učiním zajisté domu Achabovu, jako domu Jeroboámovu syna Nebatova, a jako domu Bázy syna Achiášova.
I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
10 Jezábel pak sežerou psi na poli Jezreel, a nebude, kdo by ji pochoval. A rychle otevřev dvéře, utekl.
And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
11 A když Jéhu vyšel k služebníkům pána svého, řekl mu jeden: Dobře-li se děje? Proč přišel ten blázen k tobě? Odpověděl jim: Vy znáte člověka i řeč jeho.
When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
12 I řekli: Klamť jest, pověz nám medle. Kterýž řekl: Takto a takto mluvil mi, řka: Toto praví Hospodin: Pomazuji tě za krále nad Izraelem.
They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
13 Tedy rychle vzali jeden každý roucho své, a prostřeli pod něj na nejvyšším stupni, a troubíce v troubu, pravili: Kralujeť Jéhu.
Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
14 Zatím spuntoval se Jéhu syn Jozafata, syna Namsi, proti Joramovi, (když Joram ostříhaje Rámot Galád spolu se vším Izraelem, před Hazaelem králem Syrským,
King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
15 Navrátil se byl Joram král, aby se hojil v Jezreel na rány, kterýmiž ho ranili Syrští, když bojoval proti Hazaelovi králi Syrskému). A řekl Jéhu: Vidí-li se vám, nechť nevychází žádný z města, kterýž by šel a oznámil to v Jezreel.
16 I vsedl na vůz Jéhu a jel do Jezreel, nebo Joram ležel tam. Ochoziáš také král Judský přijel byl, aby navštívil Jorama.
Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
17 V tom strážný, kterýž stál na věži v Jezreel, když viděl houf Jéhu přicházející, řekl: Vidím jakýsi houf. I řekl Joram: Povolej jízdného, a pošli vstříc jim, aby se otázal: Jest-li pokoj?
A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
18 I vyjel jízdný proti nim a řekl: Takto praví král: Jest-li pokoj? Odpověděl Jéhu: Co tobě do pokoje? Jeď za mnou. Protož oznámil to strážný, řka: Přijel posel až k nim, ale nevracuje se.
So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
19 Ještě poslal druhého jízdného. Kterýž přijel k nim a řekl: Takto praví král: Jest-li pokoj? Odpověděl Jéhu: Co tobě do pokoje? Jeď za mnou.
So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
20 Opět oznámil to strážný, řka: Přijel až k nim, ale nevrací se. Příjezd pak jest jako příjezd Jéhu syna Namsi; nebo vztekle jede.
Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
21 Tedy řekl Joram: Zapřáhni. I zapřáhl k vozu jeho. Takž vyjel Joram král Izraelský a Ochoziáš král Judský, každý na voze svém, a vyjevše proti Jéhu, potkali se s ním na poli Nábota Jezreelského.
Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
22 I stalo se, když uzřel Joram Jéhu, že řekl: Jest-liž pokoj, Jéhu? Odpověděl: Jaký pokoj, poněvadž ještě smilství Jezábel matky tvé a kouzelnictví její velmi mnohá trvají?
When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
23 Pročež obrátiv se Joram, utíkal a řekl Ochoziášovi: Zrada, Ochoziáši!
Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
24 Ale Jéhu pochytiv lučiště, postřelil Jorama mezi ramenem jeho, tak že střela pronikla srdce jeho. I padl na voze svém.
But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
25 Zatím řekl Jéhu Badakerovi, hejtmanu svému: Vezma, povrz jej na pole Nábota Jezreelského; nebo pamatuješ, když jsme já a ty jeli spolu za Achabem otcem jeho, že Hospodin vynesl proti němu pohrůžku tuto, řka:
Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
26 Zajisté krve Nábotovy a krve synů jeho, kterouž jsem viděl včera, řekl Hospodin, pomstím na tobě na poli tomto. Hospodin to řekl, nyní tedy vezma, povrz jej na pole, vedlé řeči Hospodinovy.
‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
27 Ochoziáš pak král Judský uzřev to, utíkal cestou k domu zahradnímu. Ale honil ho Jéhu a řekl: I toho zabíte na voze jeho. Takž ho ranili, když vyjížděl k Guru, kteréž jest podlé Jibleam. I utekl do Mageddo a tam umřel.
When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
28 Kteréhož vloživše na vůz služebníci jeho, vezli jej do Jeruzaléma, a pochovali jej v hrobě jeho s otci jeho v městě Davidově.
His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
29 Léta jedenáctého Jorama syna Achabova počal kralovati Ochoziáš nad Judou.
Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
30 Potom Jéhu přijel do Jezreel. O čemž když uslyšela Jezábel, ulíčila tvář svou, a ozdobila hlavu svou, a vyhlédala z okna.
Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
31 A když Jéhu jel skrze bránu, řekla: Jest-li pokoj, ó Zamri, mordéři pána svého?
While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
32 On pak pozdvih tváři své k oknu, řekl: Kdo drží se mnou, kdo? I vyhlédli na něj dva či tři komorníci její.
Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
33 Jimž řekl: Svrzte ji. Kteřížto svrhli ji. I pokropena jest krví její stěna i koni; a tak pošlapal ji.
Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
34 A když přijel, jedl a pil, a řekl: Pohleďte již na tu zlořečenou a pochovejte ji, nebť jest dcera královská.
Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
35 Protož odšedše, aby ji pochovali, nenalezli z ní než leb a nohy a dlaně rukou.
But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
36 A navrátivše se, pověděli jemu. Kterýž řekl: Slovo Hospodinovo jest, kteréž mluvil skrze služebníka svého, Eliáše Tesbitského, řka: Na poli Jezreel žráti budou psi tělo Jezábel.
When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
37 Budiž tedy tělo Jezábel na poli Jezreel, jako hnůj na svrchku pole, tak aby žádný neřekl: Tato jest Jezábel.
Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
