¹And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

¹A kráľ poslal poslov, a shromaždili k nemu všetkých starších Judska a Jeruzalema.

²And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.

²Potom vyšiel kráľ hore do domu Hospodinovho i všetci mužovia Judska i všetci obyvatelia Jeruzalema s ním, i kňazi i proroci i všetok ľud, od malého až do veľkého. A čítal v ich prítomnosti, tak aby počuli, všetky slová knihy smluvy, ktorá bola najdená v dome Hospodinovom.

³And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

³A kráľ stojac na vyvýšenom mieste učinil smluvu pred Hospodinom, že bude nasledovať Hospodina a ostríhať jeho prikázania a jeho svedoctvá a jeho ustanovenia celým srdcom a celou dušou, aby učinil to, že by stály slová tejto smluvy, napísané v tejto knihe. A všetok ľud sa postavil na tú smluvu.

⁴And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

⁴Potom rozkázal kráľ Hilkiášovi, najvyššiemu kňazovi, i kňazom druhého radu i strážcom prahu, aby vyniesli z chrámu Hospodinovho všetky nádoby, spravené Bálovi a háju a všetkému vojsku nebeskému, a spálil ich vonku za Jeruzalemom na poli Kidrona a ich prach odniesol do Bét-ela.

⁵And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

⁵A sosadil modlárskych kňazov, ktorých boli ustanovili judskí kráľovia, a ktorí kadili na výšinách po mestách Judska a v okolí Jeruzalema, jako aj tých, ktorí kadili Bálovi, slncu, mesiacu, planetám a všetkému vojsku nebeskému.

⁶And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.

⁶A dal vyniesť háj z domu Hospodinovho ta von z Jeruzalema k potoku Kidronu a spálil ho pri potoku Kidrone a roztĺkol na prach a jeho prach hodil na hroby synov obecného ľudu.

⁷And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.

⁷A rozboril domy zasvätených smilstvu, ktoré boly v dome Hospodinovom, v ktorých tkaly ženy domce pre háj.

⁸And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

⁸A dal doviesť všetkých kňazov z miest Judska a poškvrnil výšiny, na ktorých kadievali kňazi, od Geby až po Bér-šebu, a rozboril výšiny brán, tie, ktoré boly pri vchode do brány Jozuu, kniežaťa mesta, ktoré boly po ľavej strane tomu, kto vchádzal do brány mesta.

⁹Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.

⁹Avšak nevyšli kňazi výšin hore k oltáru Hospodinovmu v Jeruzaleme, ale iba jedli nekvasené medzi svojimi bratmi.

¹⁰And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

¹⁰Poškvrnil aj Tofet, ktoré je v údolí synov Hinnoma, aby nikto viac nevodil svojho syna alebo svojej dcéry cez oheň Molochovi.

¹¹And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

¹¹A odpratal kone, ktoré boli dali judskí kráľovia slncu, od vchodu do domu Hospodinovho, pri sieni Netan-melecha, komorníka, ktorý bol v Parvaríme. A vozy slnca spálil ohňom.

¹²And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

¹²A oltáre, ktoré boly na postreší hornej siene Achazovej, ktoré spravili judskí kráľovia, ako aj oltáre, ktoré spravil Manasses, v oboch nádvoriach domu Hospodinovho, rozboril kráľ a roztrepal ich a odpratal odtiaľ a ich prach vyhodil do potoka Kidrona.

¹³And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

¹³Aj výšiny, ktoré boly pred Jeruzalemom, ktoré boly z pravej strany vrchu Zhuby, ktoré vystavil Šalamún, izraelský kráľ, Astarte, hnusobe Sidoncov, a Chámošovi, hnusobe Moábov, a Molochovi, ohavnosti synov Ammonových, poškvrnil kráľ.

¹⁴And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

¹⁴A potrieskal modlárske stĺpy a posekal háje a ich miesto zaplnil ľudskými kosťami.

¹⁵Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.

¹⁵Aj oltár, ktorý bol v Bét-ele, výšinu, ktorú spravil Jeroboám, syn Nebátov, ktorý spôsobil to, aby hrešil Izrael, i ten oltár i výšinu rozboril a spálil výšinu, rozdrvil na prach a háj spálil.

¹⁶And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

¹⁶A keď sa obrátil Joziáš, videl hroby, ktoré boly tam na vrchu, a pošlúc ta pobral kosti z hrobov a spálil ich na oltári a tak ho poškvrnil podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré zavolal muž Boží, ktorý volajúc predpovedal tieto veci.

¹⁷Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.

¹⁷A riekol: Aký je to tam znak, ktorý vidím? A mužovia mesta mu povedali: To je hrob muža Božieho, ktorý bol prišiel z Judska a ktorý volajúc predpovedal tieto veci, ktoré si učinil na oltári Bét-ela.

¹⁸And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

¹⁸Vtedy riekol: Nechajte ho, nech nikto nehýbe jeho kostí. A tak zachránili jeho kosti s kosťami proroka, ktorý bol prišiel zo Samárie.

¹⁹And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.

¹⁹I všetky domy výšin, ktoré boly v mestách Samárie, ktorých narobili izraelskí kráľovia, aby popudzovali, odstránil Joziáš a urobil im podľa všetkých skutkov, ktoré urobil v Bét-ele.

²⁰And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

²⁰A pobijúc obetoval všetkých kňazov výšin, ktorí boli tam, na oltároch a pálil na nich ľudské kosti. Potom sa navrátil do Jeruzalema.

²¹And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

²¹Potom rozkázal kráľ všetkému ľudu a riekol: Slávte slávnosť veľkonočného baránka Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, jako je napísané v tejto knihe smluvy!

²²Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

²²Lebo taká slávnosť veľkonočného baránka jako táto nebola slávená odo dní sudcov, ktorí súdili Izraela, ani po všetky dni izraelských kráľov ani judských kráľov.

²³But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.

²³Ale iba v osemnástom roku kráľa Joziáša bola tak slávená táto slávnosť baránka Hospodinovi v Jeruzaleme.

²⁴Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

²⁴I duchárov, vedomcov, domácich bohov aj iných ukydaných bohov i všetky hnusoby, ktoré bolo vidieť v Judskej zemi i v Jeruzaleme, odpratal Joziáš, aby postavil slová zákona, napísané v knihe, ktorú našiel kňaz Hilkiáš v dome Hospodinovom.

²⁵And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

²⁵A nebolo jemu rovného kráľa pred ním, ktorý by sa bol tak obrátil k Hospodinovi celým srdcom i celou svojou dušou a celou svojou silou podľa celého zákona Mojžišovho, ani po ňom nepovstal jemu rovný.

²⁶Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.

²⁶Avšak Hospodin sa už neodvrátil od pále svojho veľkého hnevu, jakou horel jeho hnev proti Júdovi pre všetky tie popudzovania, ktorými ho popudzoval Manasses.

²⁷And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

²⁷Preto povedal Hospodin: I Júdu odstránim zpred svojej tvári, jako som odstránil Izraela, a zavrhnem toto mesto, ktoré som bol vyvolil, Jeruzalem, i dom, o ktorom som povedal: Moje meno tam bude.

²⁸Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁸A ostatné deje Joziášove a všetko, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

²⁹In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

²⁹Za jeho dní bol vyšiel faraon Necho, egyptský kráľ, proti assýrskemu kráľovi hore ku rieke Eufrates. A kráľ Joziáš odišiel oproti nemu a Necho ho zabil v Megidde hneď, ako ho uvidel.

³⁰And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

³⁰A jeho služobníci ho vzali mŕtveho z Megidda na voz a dopravili ho do Jeruzalema a pochovali ho v jeho hrobe. A ľud zeme vzal Jehoachaza, syna Joziášovho, a pomazali ho a urobili ho kráľom namiesto jeho otca.

³¹Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

³¹Jehoachaz mal dvadsaťtri rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval tri mesiace v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Chamutaľ, dcéra Jeremiášova, z Libny.

³²And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

³²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robili jeho otcovia.

³³And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

³³A faraon Necho ho poviazal v Rible, v zemi Chamatu, keď kraľoval v Jeruzaleme, a uložil na zem pokutu sto hrivien striebra a hrivnu zlata.

³⁴And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.

³⁴A faraon Necho urobil kráľom Eljakima, syna Joziášovho, miesto Joziáša, jeho otca, a premenil jeho meno na Jehojakima. A Jehoachaza vzal so sebou. A prišiel do Egypta a zomrel tam.

³⁵And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.

³⁵A striebro a zlato dal Jehojakim faraonovi, ale prv ocenil zem, aby mohol dať striebro na rozkaz faraonov; od každého podľa jeho ocenenia, tak sohnal striebro a zlato od ľudu zeme, aby ho dal faraonovi Nechovi.

³⁶Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

³⁶Jehojakim mal dvadsaťpäť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedonásť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Zebúda, dcéra Pedaiášova, z Rúmy.

³⁷And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

³⁷A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robili jeho otcovia.
