¹In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

¹V dvanástom roku Achaza, judského kráľa, začal kraľovať Hozea, syn Élu, v Samárii nad Izraelom a kraľoval deväť rokov.

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, len že nie priam tak ako kráľovia Izraelovi, ktorí boli pred ním.

³Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

³Proti nemu vyšiel hore Salmanazar, assýrsky kráľ, a Hozea sa mu stal sluhom a dával mu dar.

⁴And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

⁴Ale assýrsky kráľ našiel na Hozeovi zradu, pretože poslal poslov k Só-vovi, egyptskému kráľovi, a neposlal hore assýrskemu kráľovi obvyklého daru jako dovtedy s roka na rok. Preto ho obľahol assýrsky kráľ, poviazal ho a dal do žalára.

⁵Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

⁵A assýrsky kráľ vyšiel hore a prešiel po celej zemi a keď prišiel hore do Samárie, obľahol ju a obliehal tri roky.

⁶In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

⁶V deviatom roku Hozeu zaujal assýrsky kráľ Samáriu a prestehoval Izraela do Assýrie a osadil ich v Chelachu a v Chábore pri rieke Gozane a v médskych mestách.

⁷For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

⁷A stalo sa, keď len hrešili synovia Izraelovi proti Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, ktorý ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme zpod ruky faraona, egyptského kráľa, a báli sa iných bohov

⁸And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

⁸a chodili v ustanoveniach pohanov, ktorých vyhnal Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových, a v ustanoveniach kráľov Izraelových, ktorých narobili,

⁹And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

⁹a synovia Izraelovi ukrývali veci, ktoré neboly spravedlivé, proti Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, a nastaväli si výšin vo všetkých svojich mestách, od veže strážnych až po ohradené mesto,

¹⁰And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

¹⁰a nastaväli si modlárskych stĺpov a hájov na každom vŕšku, jako-tak vysokom, a pod každým stromom zeleným

¹¹And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

¹¹a kadili tam na všetkých výšinách ako pohania, ktorých vypratal Hospodin zpred ich tvári; a robili zlé veci, aby popudzovali Hospodina,

¹²For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

¹²a slúžili ukydaným bohom, o ktorých im povedal Hospodin: Nerobte toho!

¹³Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

¹³A Hospodin osvedčoval proti Izraelovi i proti Júdovi skrze všetkých svojich prorokov, skrze každého vidiaceho a hovoril: Navráťte sa zo svojich zlých ciest a ostríhajte moje prikázania, moje ustanovenia, podľa celého zákona, ktorý som prikázal vašim otcom a ktorý som poslal k vám skrze svojich služobníkov prorokov.

¹⁴Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

¹⁴Avšak neposlúchli, ale zatvrdili svoju šiju, ako svoju šiju ich otcovia, ktorí neverili v Hospodina, svojho Boha,

¹⁵And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

¹⁵a zavrhli jeho ustanovenia a jeho smluvu, ktorú učinil s ich otcami, i jeho svedoctvá, ktorými svedčil proti nim, a odišli za márnosťou a stali sa márnymi a nasledovali pohanov, ktorí boli vôkol nich, o ktorých im prikázal Hospodin, aby nerobili jako oni.

¹⁶And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

¹⁶A opustiac všetky prikázania Hospodina, svojho Boha, spravili si liate modly, dvoje teliat, a spravili si háj a klaňali sa všetkému vojsku nebeskému a slúžili Bálovi

¹⁷And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁷a vodili svojich synov a svoje dcéry cez oheň a zaoberali sa veštením a planetárili a tak sa predali, aby robili to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, aby ho popudzovali.

¹⁸Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

¹⁸Preto sa veľmi rozhneval Hospodin na Izraela a odstránil ich zpred svojej tvári; nezostalo iba samo pokolenie Júdovo.

¹⁹Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

¹⁹Ale ani Júda neostríhal prikázaní Hospodina, svojho Boha, lež aj oni chodili v ustanoveniach synov Izraelových, ktorých narobili.

²⁰And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

²⁰Preto opovrhnul Hospodin všetkým semenom Izraelovým a trápil ich a vydal ich do ruky lupičov tak, až ich odvrhnul od svojej tvári,

²¹For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

²¹lebo odtrhol Izraela od domu Dávidovho, a urobil kráľom Jeroboáma, syna Nebátovho; a Jeroboám odvrátil preč Izraela, aby nenasledoval Hospodina, a spôsobil to, aby hrešil veľkým hriechom.

²²For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

²²A tak chodili synovia Izraelovi vo všetkých hriechoch Jeroboámových, ktoré páchal; neodstúpili od toho,

²³Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

²³dokiaľ neodstránil Hospodin Izraela zpred svojej tvári, jako hovoril skrze všetkých svojich služobníkov prorokov, a preto sa musel prestehovať Izrael preč so svojej zeme do Assýrie, kde je až do tohoto dňa.

²⁴And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

²⁴A assýrsky kráľ doviedol národy z Babylona a z Kúty a z Avvy a z Chamatu a zo Sefarvajima a osídlil ich v mestách Samárie miesto synov Izraelových, a zaujali v dedičstvo Samáriu a bývajú v jej mestách.

²⁵And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

²⁵A bolo na počiatku ich bývania tam, že sa nebáli Hospodina, a preto poslal Hospodin na nich ľvov, ktorí ich dávili.

²⁶Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

²⁶Preto povedali assýrskemu kráľovi a riekli: Národy, ktoré si prestehoval a osadil v mestách Samárie, neznajú obyčaje Boha zeme, a preto poslal na nich ľvov, a hľa, usmrcujú ich, pretože neznajú obyčaje Boha zeme.

²⁷Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

²⁷Vtedy rozkázal assýrsky kráľ a riekol: Zaveďte ta jedného z kňazov, ktorých ste odstehovali ztade, a nech idú a bývajú tam, a nech ich učí obyčaji Boha zeme.

²⁸Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

²⁸A tak prišiel jeden z kňazov, ktorých boli odstehovali zo Samárie, a býval v Bét-ele a učil ich, ako sa majú báť Hospodina.

²⁹Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

²⁹Ale pri tom robili si, každý národ svojich vlastných bohov a postavili v dome výšin, ktorých narobili obyvatelia Samárie, každý národ vo svojich vlastných mestách, v ktorých bývali.

³⁰And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

³⁰Babylonskí mužovia si narobili Sukkót-benót; kútski mužovia si spravili Nergala; chamatskí mužovia si spravili Ašímu,

³¹And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

³¹Avvänia spravili Nibchaza a Tartáka, a Sefarvajimänia pálili svojich synov ohňom, Adrammelechovi a Anammelechovi, bohom Sefarvajimänov.

³²So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

³²A pritom sa báli Hospodina a narobili si kňazov výšin z najposlednejších zpomedzi seba, ktorí obetovali za nich v dome výšin.

³³They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

³³A Hospodina sa báli a svojim bohom slúžili podľa obyčaje pohanských národov tam, odkiaľ ich odstehovali.

³⁴Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

³⁴Až do tohoto dňa robia podľa drievnych obyčají, neboja sa Hospodina ani nečinia podľa svojich ustanovení ani podľa svojho súdu ani podľa zákona ani podľa prikázania, ktoré prikázal Hospodin synom Jakobovým, ktorému dal meno Izrael.

³⁵With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

³⁵A Hospodin učinil s nimi smluvu a prikázal im povediac: Nebudete sa báť iných bohov ani sa im nebudete klaňať ani im nebudete slúžiť ani im nebudete obetovať.

³⁶But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

³⁶Ale iba Hospodina, ktorý vás vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme vo veľkej sile a vystretým ramenom, toho sa budete báť a jemu sa budete klaňať a jemu budete obetovať.

³⁷And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

³⁷A ustanovenia a súdy a zákon a prikázania, ktoré vám napísal, budete ostríhať činiac to, po všetky dni a nebudete sa báť iných bohov.

³⁸And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

³⁸A na smluvu, ktorú som učinil s vami, nezabudnete ani sa nebudete báť iných bohov.

³⁹But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

³⁹Ale iba Hospodina, svojho Boha, sa budete báť, a on vás vytrhne z ruky všetkých vašich nepriateľov.

⁴⁰Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

⁴⁰Ale neposlúchli, a robili a robia podľa drievnej svojej obyčaje.

⁴¹So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

⁴¹A tak tedy sa bály tie národy Hospodina a slúžily svojim rytinám aj ich synovia i synovia ich synov; ako robili ich otcovia, tak robia aj oni až do tohoto dňa.
