¹Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

¹Amaziáš kraľoval, keď mal dvadsaťpäť rokov, a kraľoval dvadsaťdeväť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Jehoaddána z Jeruzalema.

²And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

²Robil to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových, lenže nie celým srdcom.

³Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

³A stalo sa, keď už bolo kráľovstvo pevné pri ňom, že pobil svojich služobníkov, ktorí zabili kráľa, jeho otca.

⁴But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

⁴Ale ich synov nepobil, lebo urobil tak, ako je napísané v zákone, v knihe Mojžišovej, kde prikázal Hospodin povediac: Nezomrú otcovia za synov, ani synovia nezomrú za otcov, ale každý zomrie za svoj vlastný hriech.

⁵Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

⁵Potom shromaždil Amaziáš Júdu a postavil z nich, podľa domu otcov, za veliteľov nad tisícami a za veliteľov nad stami po celom Judsku a Benjaminsku a spočítal ich vo veku od dvadsiatich rokov a vyše a našiel ich tristo tisíc vybraných mužov, ktorí boli súci vyjsť do vojny a znali narábať ťažkou kopijou a veľkým štítom.

⁶He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

⁶A z Izraela najal za mzdu sto tisíc udatných mužov za sto hrivien striebra.

⁷But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

⁷Ale prišiel k nemu nejaký muž Boží a povedal: Ó, kráľu, nech nejde s tebou vojsko Izraelovo, lebo Hospodin nie je s Izraelom, s niktorým zo synov Efraimových.

⁸But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

⁸Ale však len iď ty, konaj, buď silný do boja: ináče Bôh učiní to, aby si klesol pred nepriateľom, pretože je sila v Bohu i pomôcť i poraziť.

⁹And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.

⁹Vtedy povedal Amaziáš mužovi Božiemu: A čo urobiť so sto hrivnami, ktoré som dal vojsku Izraelovmu? Na to riekol muž Boží: Hospodin má toľko, že ti môže dať o mnoho viac ako to.

¹⁰Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

¹⁰A tak ich oddelil Amaziáš, totiž vojsko, ktoré bolo prišlo k nemu z Efraima, aby odišli na svoje miesto. Preto sa veľmi rozhnevali na Júdu a navrátili sa na svoje miesto, rozpálení hnevom.

¹¹And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

¹¹A Amaziáš sa vzmužil a pojmúc svoj ľud odišiel do Soľnej doliny a porazil synov Seira, desať tisíc mužov.

¹²And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.

¹²A desať tisíc zajali synovia Júdovi živých a vyviedli ich na vrch skaly a pohádzali ich s vrchu tej skaly, takže sa všetci porozrážali.

¹³But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

¹³Ale mužovia vojska, ktoré poslal Amaziáš zpät, aby neišlo s ním do boja, vtrhli do miest Júdových do Samárie až po Bét-choron a pobili z nich tri tisíce a nalúpili mnoho lúpeže.

¹⁴Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

¹⁴A stalo sa, keď prišiel Amaziáš od porážky Edomejcov, že dopravil bohov synov Seira a postavil ich sebe za bohov a klaňal sa pred nimi a kadil im.

¹⁵Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

¹⁵Preto sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Amaziáša a poslal k nemu proroka, ktorý mu povedal: Prečo si hľadal bohov ľudu, ktorí nevytrhli svojho ľudu z tvojej ruky?

¹⁶And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

¹⁶A stalo sa, keď mu to hovoril, že mu povedal kráľ: Či sme ťa ustanovili za radcu kráľovi? Nože prestaň, lebo načo ťa majú nabiť? A tak prestal prorok, avšak povedal: Teraz viem, že Bôh usúdil zahladiť ťa, keď si to urobil a neposlúchol si mojej rady.

¹⁷Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

¹⁷Potom sa poradil Amaziáš, judský kráľ, a poslal poslov k Joasovi, synovi Jehoachaza, syna Jehu-va, izraelskému kráľovi, povediac: Poď, pozrime si do tvári!

¹⁸And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

¹⁸A Joas, izraelský kráľ, poslal k Amaziášovi, judskému kráľovi, povedať: Bodliak, ktorý bol na Libanone, poslal výzvu k cedre, ktorá je na Libanone, povediac: Daj svoju dcéru môjmu synovi za ženu! Ale išla tade poľná zver, ktorá žije na Libanone, a zašliapala bodliak.

¹⁹Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

¹⁹Hovoríš: hľa, porazil si Edoma. Preto ťa pozdvihlo tvoje srdce, aby si sa honosil. Seď teraz vo svojom dome. Prečo sa pletieš do zlého, aby si padol i ty i Júda s tebou?

²⁰But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

²⁰Ale Amaziáš neposlúchol; lebo to bolo od Boha, aby ich vydal do ruky tamtých, pretože hľadali bohov Edomových.

²¹So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

²¹A tak odišiel hore Joas, izraelský kráľ, a pozreli si do tvári, on i Amaziáš, judský kráľ, v Bét-šemeši, ktoré patrí Júdovi.

²²And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

²²A Júda bol porazený pred Izraelom, a utekali každý do svojich stánov.

²³And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

²³A Amaziáša, judského kráľa, syna Joasa, syna Jehoachazovho, chytil Joas, izraelský kráľ, v Bét-šemeši a doviedol ho do Jeruzalema a sboril z jeruzalemského múru od brány Efraimovej až po bránu Uhlu, na štyristo lakťov.

²⁴And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

²⁴A pobral všetko zlato a striebro i všetky nádoby, ktoré sa našli v dome Božom u Obéd-edoma, jako aj poklady domu kráľovho i synov zálohy a navrátil sa do Samárie.

²⁵And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

²⁵A Amaziáš, syn Joasov, judský kráľ, žil ešte po smrti Joasa, syna Jehoachazovho, izraelského kráľa, pätnásť rokov.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

²⁶A ostatné deje Amaziášove, prvé i posledné, či hľa, nie sú napísané v knihe kráľov Júdových a Izraelových?

²⁷Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

²⁷A od toho času, jako sa odvrátil Amaziáš, aby nenasledoval Hospodina, spikli sa proti nemu v Jeruzaleme. A keď utiekol do Lachiša, poslali za ním do Lachiša a zabili ho tam.

²⁸And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

²⁸A odtiaľ ho odniesli na koňoch a pochovali ho s jeho otcami v meste Júdovom.
