¹It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

¹A potom sa stalo, že prišli synovia Moábovi a synovia Ammonovi a s nimi iní z Ammonovcov proti Jozafatovi do vojny.

²Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.

²Vtedy prišli poslovia a oznámili Jozafatovi a riekli: Prišlo proti tebe veľké množstvo zo zámoria, zo Sýrie, a hľa, sú v Chacecon-támare, ktoré je En-gedi.

³And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

³A Jozafat sa bál a obrátil svoju tvár hľadať Hospodina a vyhlásil pôst na celé Judsko.

⁴And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

⁴Vtedy sa shromaždili synovia Júdu, aby hľadali pomoc od Hospodina, a prišli aj zo všetkých miest Júdových hľadať Hospodina.

⁵And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

⁵A Jozafat sa postavil v shromaždení Júdu a Jeruzalema v dome Hospodinovom, pred novým dvorom,

⁶And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

⁶a riekol: Hospodine, Bože našich otcov, či nie si ty Bohom na nebi? A veď ty panuješ nado všetkými kráľovstvami národov, a v tvojej ruke je sila a udatnosť, a nieto nikoho, kto by sa mohol postaviť proti tebe!

⁷Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

⁷Či si ty azda, náš Bože, nevyhnal obyvateľov tejto zeme zpred svojho ľudu Izraela? A dal si ju semenu Abraháma, svojho milovaného priateľa, na veky.

⁸And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

⁸A bývali v nej a vystavili ti v nej svätyňu, tvojmu menu, povediac:

⁹If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

⁹Keby prišlo na nás zlé, meč súdu, mor a hlad, a keby sme sa postavili pred týmto domom a pred tebou, pretože je tvoje meno v tomto dome, a keby sme kričali k tebe zo svojej úzkosti, vyslyšíš a zachrániš.

¹⁰And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

¹⁰A teraz hľa, synovia Ammonovi a Moábovi a vrch Seir, cez ktorých prejsť si nedal Izraelovi, keď boli prišli z Egyptskej zeme, ale uhnuli od nich a nezahladili ich,

¹¹Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

¹¹nuž hľa, oni sa nám odplácajú tým, že prišli, aby nás vyhnali z tvojho dedičstva, ktoré si nám dal večite.

¹²O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

¹²Náš Bože, či nebudeš súdiť nad nimi? Lebo v nás nie je sily, aby sme obstáli pred týmto veľkým množstvom, ktoré prišlo na nás, ani my nevieme, čo by sme mali robiť, ale jedine na teba hľadia naše oči.-

¹³And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

¹³A všetci synovia Júdovi stáli pred Hospodinom, aj ich drobné deti, ich ženy a ich synovia.

¹⁴Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;

¹⁴Vtedy prišiel na Jachaziela, syna Zachariáša, syna Benaiáša, syna Jehiela, syna Mattaniáša, Levitu zo synov Azafových, Duch Hospodinov prostred shromaždenia,

¹⁵And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

¹⁵a riekol: Pozorujte, všetok Júda a obyvatelia Jeruzalema, i ty kráľu Jozafate! Takto vám hovorí Hospodin: Nebojte sa vy ani sa nestrachujte pred tým velikým množstvom, lebo nie vám je boj, ale Bohu.

¹⁶To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

¹⁶Zajtra sídite na nich. Hľa, pojdú hore stráňou Cíc, a najdete ich na konci údolia pred púšťou Jeruel.

¹⁷Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

¹⁷Nebude to vašou vecou bojovať v tomto boji. Postavte sa, stojte a vidzte spasenie Hospodinovo, ktorý je s vami, Júda a Jeruzalem. Nebojte sa ani sa nestrachujte! Zajtra vyjdite proti nim, a Hospodin bude s vami.

¹⁸And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

¹⁸A Jozafat sa sklonil tvárou k zemi, a všetok Júda i obyvatelia Jeruzalema padli pred Hospodinom klaňajúc sa Hospodinovi.

¹⁹And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

¹⁹Potom vstali Levitovia zo synov Kehátovcov a zo synov Kórachovcov, aby chválili Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, velikým hlasom, náramne.

²⁰And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

²⁰A tak vstali skoro ráno a vyšli na púšť Tekoa. A keď vychádzali, Jozafat stál a povedal: Počujte ma, Júda a obyvatelia Jeruzalema! Verte v Hospodina, svojho Boha, a stojte verne; verte v jeho prorokov a konajte šťastne!

²¹And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

²¹A keď sa poradil s ľudom, postavil spevákov Hospodinovi, a to aby chválili okrasu svätosti idúc pred ozbrojencami a aby hovorili: Oslavujte Hospodina, lebo jeho milosť trvá na veky!

²²And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

²²A v tom čase, keď začali plesať a chváliť, dal Hospodin úkladníkov na synov Ammonových a Moábových a na obyvateľov vrchu Seira, ktorí boli prišli proti Júdovi, a boli porazení.

²³For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

²³Lebo sa postavili synovia Ammonovi a Moábovi proti obyvateľom vrchu Seira, aby ich oddali úplnej záhube a aby ich zahladili. A keď dokončili proti obyvateľom Seira, pomáhali druh proti druhovi zahladiť.

²⁴And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

²⁴Medzitým prišiel Júda na výhľadisko na púšť a obrátiac sa pozreli na množstvo. A hľa, videli, že sú mŕtvolami, ležiacimi na zemi, a že ani nebolo toho, kto by bol ušiel.

²⁵And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

²⁵Vtedy prišiel Jozafat a jeho ľud pobrať ich korisť a našli jej u nich množstvo i majetku i klenotov u mŕtvol i vzácneho náradia, a nabrali si koristi každý toľko, že to až nemohli uniesť. A tri dni brali korisť, lebo jej bolo mnoho.

²⁶And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.

²⁶Potom štvrtého dňa sa shromaždili do doliny Berácha, lebo tam dobrorečili Hospodinovi. Preto nazvali meno toho miesta Emek-berácha, a tak sa volá až do tohoto dňa.

²⁷Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

²⁷A vrátili sa všetci mužovia Júdovi aj mužovia Jeruzalema i Jozafat na ich čele, aby sa navrátili do Jeruzalema s radosťou, lebo im dal Hospodin radosť z porážky ich nepriateľov.

²⁸And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.

²⁸A prišli do Jeruzalema s harfami, citarami a s trúbami do domu Hospodinovho.

²⁹And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

²⁹A strach Boží prišiel na všetky kráľovstvá tých zemí, keď počuli, že Hospodin bojoval proti nepriateľom Izraelovým.

³⁰So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

³⁰A kráľovstvo Jozafatovo malo pokoj, a jeho Bôh mu dal odpočinutia zo všetkých strán.

³¹And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

³¹A Jozafat kraľoval nad Júdom. Tridsaťpäť rokov mal, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dvadsaťpäť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Azuba, a bola dcérou Šilchiho.

³²And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.

³²Chodil po ceste svojho otca Azu ani neuhol od nej robiac to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových.

³³Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

³³Avšak výšiny neboly uhly, lebo ľud ešte nebol ustavil svojho srdca k Bohu svojich otcov.

³⁴Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

³⁴A ostatné deje Jozafatove, prvé i posledné, tie hľa, sú napísané v dejinách Jehu-va, syna Chananiho, čo bolo vnesené do knihy kráľov Izraelových.

³⁵And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:

³⁵Potom sa spolčil Jozafat, judský kráľ, s Achaziášom, izraelským kráľom, ktorý páchal bezbožnosť.

³⁶And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber.

³⁶Spolčil sa s ním preto, aby narobil lodí, ktoré maly ísť do Taršíša. A narobili lodí v Ecjon-gábere.

³⁷Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

³⁷Vtedy prorokoval Eliézer, syn Dodavahú-va z Maréše, proti Jozafatovi povediac: Za to, že si sa spolčil s Achaziášom, Hospodin rozborí tvoje práce. Aj stroskotaly lode a nemohly ísť do Taršíša.
