2 Kings 3
1 After Jehoshaphat had been ruling Judah for almost 18 years, Ahab’s son Joram became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for twelve years.
Joram pak syn Achabův počal kralovati nad Izraelem v Samaří léta osmnáctého Jozafata krále Judského, a kraloval dvanácte let.
2 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as much evil as his father and mother had done, and he got rid of the pillar [for worshiping] Baal which his father had made.
A činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, ač ne tak jako otec jeho a jako matka jeho; nebo odjal modly Bál, kterýchž byl nadělal otec jeho.
3 But he committed the sins that [King] Jeroboam had committed and which led the Israeli people to sin, and he did not stop committing those sins.
A však v hříších Jeroboáma syna Nebatova, kterýž k hřešení přivodil Izraele, vždy vězel, a neodstoupil od nich.
4 Mesha, the king of Moab, raised sheep. [Every year] he was forced to give 100,000 lambs and the wool from 100,000 rams to the king of Israel, [because his kingdom was controlled by the king of Israel].
Mésa pak král Moábský měl hojnost dobytka, a dával králi Izraelskému sto tisíc beranů, a sto tisíc skopců i s vlnou.
5 But after King Ahab died, Mesha rebelled against the king of Israel.
I stalo se, když umřel Achab, že se zprotivil král Moábský králi Izraelskému.
6 So King Joram left Samaria and gathered together all his soldiers.
Tedy vytáhl v ten čas král Joram z Samaří, a sečtl všecken Izrael.
7 Then he sent this message to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. So will your army join my army and fight against the army of Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, we will help you. We are ready to do whatever you want us to. My soldiers and my horses are ready to help you.”
A když táhl, poslal k Jozafatovi králi Judskému, aby mu řekli: Král Moábský zprotivil mi se. Potáhneš-li se mnou proti Moábovi na vojnu? Odpověděl: Potáhnu. Jako jsem já, tak jsi ty, jako lid můj, tak lid tvůj, jakž koni moji, tak koni tvoji.
8 He asked, “On which road shall we march to attack them?” Joram replied, “We will go [south to Jerusalem, where your army will join us. Then we will all go south of the Dead Sea, and then turn north] through the Edom Desert.”
Zatím řekl: Kterouž pak cestou potáhneme? Odpověděl: Cestou pouště Idumejské.
9 So the king of Israel [and his army] went with the kings of Judah and Edom [and their armies]. They marched for seven days. Then there was no water left for their soldiers or for their animals that carried supplies.
A tak vytáhl král Izraelský a král Judský i král Idumejský. A když objížděli cestou za sedm dní, nedostávalo se vody vojsku a hovadům jejich, kteráž měli s sebou.
10 The king of Israel exclaimed, “This is a terrible situation! [It seems that] Yahweh will allow the three of us to be captured by [the army of] [MTY] Moab!”
I řekl král Izraelský: Ach, běda! Nebo povolal Hospodin tří králů těchto, aby je vydal v ruku Moábovu.
11 Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a prophet here who can ask Yahweh for us [what we should do]?” One of Joram’s army officers said, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah’s assistant.” [IDM]
Ale Jozafat řekl: Není-liž zde proroka Hospodinova, abychom se otázali Hospodina skrze něho? Odpovídaje pak jeden z služebníků krále Izraelského, řekl: Jestiť zde Elizeus syn Safatův, kterýž líval vodu na ruce Eliášovy.
12 Jehoshaphat said, “[It will be good to ask him, because] he speaks what Yahweh tells him to say.” So those three kings went to Elisha.
Tedy řekl Jozafat: U tohoť jest slovo Hospodinovo. I šli k němu, král Izraelský a Jozafat, i král Idumejský.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you come to me [RHQ]? Go and ask those prophets that your father and mother consulted!” But Joram replied, “No, [we want you to ask Yahweh, because it seems that] Yahweh is going to allow us three kings to be captured by the army of Moab.”
I řekl Elizeus králi Izraelskému: Co mně do tebe? Jdi k prorokům otce svého a k prorokům matky své. Řekl jemu král Izraelský: Nikoli, nebo povolal Hospodin tří králů těchto, aby je vydal v ruku Moábovu.
14 Elisha replied, “I serve Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven. As surely as he lives, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not even think about doing anything to help you.
K tomu řekl Elizeus: Živť jest Hospodin zástupů, před jehož oblíčejem stojím, bychť sobě nevážil Jozafata krále Judského, nepohleděl bych na tě, ani popatřil.
15 But, bring a musician to me.” [So they did that]. And when the musician played [on his harp], the power of Yahweh came on Elisha.
Ale nyní přiveďte mi toho, kterýž by uměl hráti na harfu. A když on hral, byla nad ním ruka Hospodinova.
16 He said, “Yahweh says that he will cause this dry stream-bed to be full of water.
I řekl: Takto praví Hospodin: Nadělej v tomto potoku množství dolů.
17 The result will be that your soldiers and your animals that carry supplies and your livestock will have plenty of water to drink.
Nebo toto dí Hospodin: Neuzříte větru, aniž uzříte přívalu, však potok tento naplněn bude vodou, tak že píti budete i vy i množství vaše, i hovada vaše.
18 That is not difficult for Yahweh to do. [But he will do more than that]. He will also enable you to defeat [the army of] Moab.
A i to málo jest před oblíčejem Hospodinovým, nebo i Moábské dá v ruku vaši.
19 You will conquer all their beautiful cities, cities that have high walls around them. You must cut down all their fruit trees, stop water from flowing from their springs, and ruin their fertile fields by covering them with rocks.”
A zkazíte všeliké město hrazené, i všeliké město výborné, též všecko stromoví dobré zporážíte, a všecky studnice vod zasypete, a všeliké pole dobré kamením přiházíte.
20 The next morning, at the time when they offered the sacrifices [of grain], they were surprised to see water flowing from Edom and covering the ground.
I stalo se ráno, když obětována bývá obět suchá, a aj, vody přicházely cestou od strany Idumejské, a naplněna jest země vodami.
21 When the people of Moab heard that the three kings had come [with their armies] to fight against them, all the men who were able to fight in battles, from the youngest men to the oldest ones, were summoned, and they (took their positions/prepared to fight) at the [southern] border of their land.
Všecken pak Moáb uslyšev, že by vytáhli králové, aby bojovali proti nim, svolali se všickni, od toho, kterýž se pasem opásati může, a výše, a postavili se na pomezí.
22 But when they rose early the next morning, they saw that the water across from them appeared to be as red as blood.
Potom ráno vstavše, když slunce vzešlo nad těmi vodami, uzřeli Moábští naproti ty vody rdějící se jako krev.
23 They exclaimed, “It is blood! The three enemy armies must have fought and killed each other! So let’s go and take everything that they have left!”
A řekli: Krev jest. Jistě žeť jsou se pohubili ti králové, a zabil jeden každý bližního svého; protož nyní k loupežem, ó Moábští! A přišli až k ležení Izraelskému.
24 But when they reached the area where the Israeli soldiers had set up their tents, the Israelis attacked the soldiers from Moab and forced them to retreat. The Israeli soldiers pursued the soldiers from Moab and killed many of them.
Tedy povstavše Izraelští, porazili Moábské, kteříž utíkali před nimi, a oni porazili je porážkou velikou, také i v jejich krajině.
25 The Israelis also destroyed their cities. And whenever they passed fertile fields, they threw rocks on those fields, until the fields were covered with rocks. They stopped water from flowing from the springs and cut down the fruit trees. Finally, only [the capital city, ] Kir-Hareseth, remained. The Israeli soldiers who threw stones with slings surrounded the city and attacked it.
Nebo města jejich zbořili, a na všeliké pole výborné házejíce jeden každý kamením svým, naplnili je, i všecky studnice vod zasypali, a všecko stromoví dobré zporáželi, tak že toliko nechali u Kirchareset zdi jeho. Protož shlukše se prakovníci, dobývali ho.
26 When the king of Moab realized that his army was being defeated, he took with him 700 men who fought with swords, and they tried to force a way through the Israeli lines of soldiers to escape to [get help from] the king of Syria, but they were unable to escape.
A vida král Moábský, že jsou mu silní bojovníci ti, vzal s sebou sedm set mužů bojovných, chtě se probiti skrze vojska krále Idumejského. Ale nemohli.
27 Then the king of Moab took his oldest son, who would have become the next king, and killed him and offered him for a sacrifice [to their god Chemosh], burning him on top of the city wall. The Israeli soldiers were horrified, with the result that they left that city and returned to their own country.
Pročež jav syna jeho prvorozeného, kterýž měl kralovati místo něho, obětoval jej v obět zápalnou na zdi. I stalo se rozhněvání veliké proti Izraelovi; protož odtrhše od něho, navrátili se do země své.
