¹Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

¹A Joziáš slávil Hospodinovi Veľkú noc v Jeruzaleme. A zabili veľkonočného baránka štrnásteho dňa prvého mesiaca.

²And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,

²A postaviac kňazov k ich povinnostiam posilnil ich pre službu domu Hospodinovho.

³And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,

³A riekol Levitom, ktorí vyučovali všetok izraelský ľud, svätým Hospodinovi: Dajte truhlu svätosti do domu, ktorý vystavil Šalamún, syn Dávidov, izraelský kráľ. Nebude vám bremenom, ktoré by ste museli nosiť na pleciach; teraz len slúžte Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, a jeho ľudu Izraelovi.

⁴And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

⁴Pripravte sa podľa domu svojich otcov po svojich oddeleniach podľa písma od Dávida, izraelského kráľa, a podľa napísaného od Šalamúna, jeho syna.

⁵And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

⁵A stojte v svätyni podľa oddielov domu otcov za svojich bratov, synov ľudu, a to vše oddelenie patričného domu otca Levitov.

⁶So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

⁶A zabíjajte veľkonočného baránka a posväťte sa a pripravte svojim bratom, aby robili podľa slova Hospodinovho, daného skrze Mojžiša.

⁷And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.

⁷A Joziáš daroval synom ľudu obeťou pozdvihnutia drobného dobytka, baránkov a kozliat, všetko na veľkonočného baránka, všetkým, ktorí sa tam nachádzali, počtom tridsať tisíc, a volov tri tisíce. To všetko bolo z majetku kráľovho.

⁸And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.

⁸A jeho kniežatá za dobrovoľnú obeť ľudu, kňazom a Levitom, tiež darovali obeťou pozdvihnutia; Hilkiáš, Zachariáš a Jechiel, vojvodovia domu Božieho, dali kňazom na veľkonočného baránka dva tisíce šesťsto kusov a volov tristo.

⁹Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

⁹A Konaniáš a Šemaiáš a Natanael, jeho bratia, a Chašabiáš, Jehiel a Jozabad, kniežatá z Levitov, darovali Levitom obeťou pozdvihnutia na veľkonočného baránka päť tisíc kusov a volov päťsto.

¹⁰So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.

¹⁰A tak bola pripravená služba, a kňazi stáli na svojom mieste a Levitovia vo svojich oddeleniach podľa príkazu kráľovho.

¹¹And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

¹¹A zabíjali veľkonočného baránka, a kňazi kropili berúc z ich ruky, a Levitovia sťahovali z kože.

¹²And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

¹²A oddelili, čo bolo na zápal, aby to dali synom ľudu podľa rozdelení domu otcov, aby obetovali Hospodinovi tak, ako je napísané v knihe Mojžišovej. A tak urobili aj s volmi.

¹³And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.

¹³A piekli veľkonočného baránka na ohni podľa predpísaného poriadku a iné veci posvätené varili v hrncoch, v kotloch a na panviciach a rozdávali behom všetkým synom ľudu.

¹⁴And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

¹⁴Potom pripravili sebe a kňazom, lebo kňazi, synovia Áronovi, boli zamestnaní obetovaním zápalu a tukov až do noci; preto pripravili Levitovia sebe i kňazom, synom Áronovým.

¹⁵And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

¹⁵Aj speváci, synovia Azafovi, boli na svojom mieste podľa príkazu Dávidovho a Azafovho, Hémanovho a Jedutúnovho, vidiaceho kráľovho, a vrátni strážili pri každej bráne; nemuseli odchádzať od svojej služby, lebo ich bratia, Levitovia, im pripravili.

¹⁶So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

¹⁶A tak bola pripravená celá služba Hospodinova toho dňa, aby slávili veľkonočného baránka a obetovali zápalné obeti na oltári Hospodinovom podľa príkazu kráľa Joziáša.

¹⁷And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

¹⁷A tedy slávili synovia Izraelovi, ktorí sa nachádzali, veľkonočného baránka toho času i slávnosť nekvasených chlebov sedem dní.

¹⁸And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁸Taká Veľká noc, ako bola tá, nebola slávená v Izraelovi odo dní proroka Samuela, ani niktorý zo všetkých kráľov izraelských neslávil takej Veľkej noci, jakú slávil Joziáš a kňazi a Levitovia i všetok Júda a Izrael, ktorý sa ešte nachádzal, i s obyvateľmi Jeruzalema.

¹⁹In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.

¹⁹V osemnástom roku kráľovstva Joziášovho slávila sa tá Veľká noc.

²⁰After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

²⁰Po tom po všetkom, keď už bol Joziáš pripravil dom Boží, prišiel hore Necho, egyptský kráľ, aby bojoval proti Charkemišu nad Eufratom, a Joziáš vyšiel proti nemu.

²¹But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

²¹Ale on poslal k nemu poslov s odkazom: Čo ja mám s tebou, judský kráľu? Ja nejdem dnes proti tebe, ale proti domu, s ktorým vediem vojnu. A Bôh mi rozkázal, aby som sa ponáhľal. Daj tedy pokoj Bohu, ktorý je so mnou, nech ťa nezničí!

²²Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

²²Avšak Joziáš neodvrátil svojej tvári od neho, ale, aby bojoval s ním, zamenil svoj odev a neposlúchol na slová Necha, pošlé z úst Božích. A prišiel, aby bojoval na doline Megiddo.

²³And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

²³A strelci strelili do kráľa Joziáša. Vtedy povedal kráľ svojim služobníkom: Odvezte ma, lebo som veľmi nemocný.

²⁴His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

²⁴A tak ho preniesli jeho služobníci z bitevného voza a vyložili ho na jeho druhý voz a doviezli ho do Jeruzalema. Aj zomrel a bol pochovaný v hroboch svojich otcov. A celý Júda a Jeruzalem smútili nad Joziášom.

²⁵And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.

²⁵A Jeremiáš spieval trúchlivú pieseň nad Joziášom. A všetci speváci a speváčky hovorili vo svojich trúchlych spevoch o Joziášovi až do tohoto dňa, a urobili ich pravidlom v Izraelovi. A hľa, sú zapísané v trúchlospevoch.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,

²⁶A ostatné deje Joziášove a jeho zbožné skutky, jako je to napísané v zákone Hospodinovom,

²⁷And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

²⁷a vôbec jeho deje, prvé i posledné, tie hľa, sú napísané v knihe kráľov Izraelových a Júdových.
