¹And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

¹A stalo sa deviateho roku jeho kraľovania, desiateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho mesiaca, že prišiel Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, i s celým svojím vojskom proti Jeruzalemu a rozložil sa proti nemu táborom, a vystavil proti nemu hradby dookola.

²And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

²A tak bolo mesto obľahnuté až do jedenásteho roku kráľa Cedekiáša.

³And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

³Deviateho dňa toho štvrtého mesiaca zmocnil sa mesta hlad, a nebolo chleba pre ľud zeme.

⁴And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.

⁴Vtedy bolo prelomené mesto, a všetci bojovní mužovia utiekli tej noci cestou brány medzi dvoma múrami, ktorá bola pri zahrade kráľovej. A Chaldeji ležali proti mestu dookola. A kráľ odišiel cestou roviny Araby.

⁵And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.

⁵Ale vojsko Chaldejov prenasledovalo kráľa, a dostihli ho na rovinách Jericha, a všetko jeho vojsko sa rozpŕchlo od neho.

⁶So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

⁶A oni chytiac kráľa odviedli ho k babylonskému kráľovi hore do Ribly a tam ho súdili.

⁷And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

⁷A synov Cedekiášových pobili pred jeho očima, a oči Cedekiášove oslepil a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami, a doviedli ho do Babylona.

⁸And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:

⁸Potom piateho mesiaca, siedmeho dňa toho mesiaca, ktorý to rok bol devätnástym rokom kráľa Nabuchodonozora, babylonského kráľa, prišiel Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, služobník babylonského kráľa, do Jeruzalema.

⁹And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.

⁹A spálil dom Hospodinov i dom kráľov i všetky domy Jeruzalema, i všetky veľké domy popálil ohňom.

¹⁰And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁰A múry Jeruzalema dookola rozborilo všetko vojsko Chaldejov, ktoré mal so sebou veliteľ kráľovskej stráže.

¹¹Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.

¹¹A ostatok ľudu, ktorý bol pozostal v meste, a prebehlíkov, ktorí prebehli k babylonskému kráľovi, jako aj ostatok zástupu prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže.

¹²But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

¹²A niečo z chudobných ľudí zeme zanechal veliteľ kráľovskej stráže za vinárov a oráčov.

¹³And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

¹³A medené stĺpy, ktoré boly v dome Hospodinovom, a podstavce jako aj medené more, ktoré bolo v dome Hospodinovom, potĺkli Chaldeji a ich meď odviezli do Babylona.

¹⁴And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

¹⁴I hrnce, lopatky, nože, panvy i všetky medené nádoby, ktorými svätoslúžili, pobrali.

¹⁵And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

¹⁵I kadidlá i čaše, všetko, už či bolo zo zlata a či zo striebra, pobral veliteľ kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁶The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

¹⁶Dva stĺpy, jedno more a podstavce, ktorých bol narobil Šalamún pre dom Hospodinov. Nebolo váhy medi všetkých tých nádob.

¹⁷The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathed work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathed work.

¹⁷Osemnásť lakťov bola výška jedného stĺpa a makovica na ňom medená, a výška makovice bola tri lakte, a pletivo a zrnaté jablká boly na makovici dookola, všetko bolo z medi. A tak to mal i druhý stĺp i s pletivom.

¹⁸And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

¹⁸A veliteľ kráľovskej stráže vzal i Seraiáša, predného kňaza, i Sofoniáša, kňaza druhého radu, jako aj troch strážcov prahu.

¹⁹And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:

¹⁹A z mesta vzal jedného komorníka, ktorý bol vrchným úradníkom nad bojovnými mužmi, a piatich mužov z tých, ktorí vídavali tvár kráľovu, ktorí boli najdení v meste, i pisára veliteľa vojska, ktorý popisoval ľud zeme a odvádzal do vojska, a šesťdesiat mužov z ľudu zeme, ktorí sa našli v meste.

²⁰And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:

²⁰A vezmúc ich Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, odviedol ich k babylonskému kráľovi do Ribly.

²¹And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.

²¹A babylonský kráľ ich pobil a usmrtil ich v Rible, v zemi Chamatu. A tak sa prestehoval Júda zo svojej zeme.

²²And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.

²²A ľud, ktorý ešte zostal v Judskej zemi, ktorý tam ponechal Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, nad tými ustanovil Gedaliáša, syna Achikáma, syna Šafánovho.

²³And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

²³A keď počuli všetci velitelia vojsk, oni aj ich mužovia, že babylonský kráľ ustanovil za správcu krajiny Gedaliáša, prišli ku Gedaliášovi do Micpy, totiž Izmael, syn Netaniášov, a Jochanan, syn Kareáchov, a Seraiáš, syn Tanchúmeta Netofatského, a Jazaniáš, syn Machatov, oni aj ich mužovia.

²⁴And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.

²⁴A Gedaliáš im prisahal aj ich mužom a riekol im: Nebojte sa služobníkov Chaldejov, zostaňte v zemi a slúžte babylonskému kráľovi, a bude vám dobre.

²⁵But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.

²⁵A stalo sa v siedmom mesiaci, že prišiel Izmael, syn Netaniáša, syna Elišamovho, z kráľovského semena, a desiati mužovia s ním a zabili Gedaliáša, a zomrel, i Židov i Chaldejov, ktorí boli s ním v Micpe, pobili.

²⁶And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.

²⁶Potom sa sobral všetok ľud, od malého až do veľkého, i velitelia vojsk a utečúc prišli do Egypta, lebo sa báli Chaldejov.

²⁷And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

²⁷A stalo sa tridsiateho siedmeho roku zajatia Jehojachina, judského kráľa, dvanásteho mesiaca, dvadsiateho siedmeho dňa toho mesiaca, že Evil-merodach, babylonský kráľ, toho roku, ktorého začal kraľovať, povýšil hlavu Jehojachina, judského kráľa, prepustiac ho zo žalára.

²⁸And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;

²⁸A hovoril s ním dobrotive a dal jeho stolicu nad stolicu iných kráľov, ktorí boli s ním v Babylone.

²⁹And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

²⁹A premenil rúcho jeho väzby, a jedával chlieb vždycky pred ním, po všetky dni svojho života.

³⁰And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

³⁰A jeho vymeraný diel sa mu dával ako stály diel od kráľa, každý deň to, čo prišlo na ktorý deň, po všetky dni jeho života.
