2 Kings 2
1 Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,
Stalo se potom, když měl již vzíti Hospodin Eliáše u vichru do nebe, že vyšel Eliáš s Elizeem z Galgala.
2 and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
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.
3 Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
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.
4 And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
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.
5 Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
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.
6 And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
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.
7 Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
Padesáte pak mužů z synů prorockých šli, a postavili se naproti zdaleka, ale oni oba zastavili se u Jordánu.
8 And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
A vzav Eliáš plášť svůj, svinul jej a udeřil na vodu. I rozdělila se sem i tam, tak že přešli oba po suše.
9 After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
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.
10 “You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”
Jemuž řekl: Nesnadnés věci požádal, a však jestliže uzříš mne, když budu vzat od tebe, staneť se tak; pakli nic, nestane se.
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
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.
12 As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So taking hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two.
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.
13 Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
A zdvih plášť Eliášův, kterýž byl spadl s něho, navrátil se a stál na břehu Jordánském.
14 Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, and Elisha crossed over.
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.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were facing him from Jericho saw what had happened, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
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.
16 “Look now,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty valiant men. Please let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” “Do not send them,” Elisha replied.
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.
17 But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find Elijah.
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.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
A když se k němu navrátili, (on pak bydlil v Jerichu), řekl jim: Zdaliž jsem vám neřekl: Nechoďte?
19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please note, our lord, that the city’s location is good, as you can see. But the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”
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.
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
Tedy řekl: Přineste mi nádobu novou, a dejte do ní soli. I přinesli mu.
21 and Elisha went out to the spring, cast the salt into it, and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’”
A vyšed k pramenu těch vod, vsypal tam sůl a řekl: Takto praví Hospodin: Uzdravuji vody tyto; nebudeť více odtud smrti, ani nedochůdčete.
22 And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
A tak uzdraveny jsou ty vody až do dnešního dne, vedlé řeči Elizeovy, kterouž byl mluvil.
23 From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was walking up the road, a group of boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
Potom šel odtud do Bethel. A když šel cestou, pacholata malá vyšedše z města, posmívali se jemu, říkajíce: Jdi lysý, jdi lysý!
24 Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
Kterýž ohlédna se, uzřel je a zlořečil jim ve jménu Hospodinovu. Protož vyskočivše dvě nedvědice z lesa, roztrhaly z nich čtyřidcatero a dvé dětí.
25 And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
I šel odtud na horu Karmel, odkudž navrátil se do Samaří.
