¹Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

¹Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Moába a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože spálil kosti kráľa Edoma na vápno.

²But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

²A preto pošlem oheň na Moába, a strávi paláce Kerijjóta, a Moáb zomrie v surme za vojenného kriku a za zvuku trúby.

³And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

³A vyplienim sudcu z jeho stredu a všetky jeho kniežatá pobijem s ním, hovorí Hospodin.

⁴Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

⁴Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Júdu a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože zavrhli zákon Hospodinov a neostríhali jeho ustanovení, a zaviedly ich do bludu ich lži, za ktorými chodili ich otcovia.

⁵But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

⁵A preto pošlem oheň na Júdu, a strávi paláce Jeruzalema.

⁶Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

⁶Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Izraela a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože predávali spravedlivého za peniaze a núdzneho pre pár obuvi,

⁷That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:

⁷ktorí dychtia po prachu zeme na hlave chudobných a nakrivujú cestu pokorných, a k tomu i syn i jeho otec chodia ku tej istej dievke, aby poškvrňovali meno mojej svätosti.

⁸And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

⁸A na založených rúchach sa zohýnajú vedľa každého oltára a pijú víno pokutovaných v dome svojho boha,

⁹Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

⁹kým som ja vyhladil Amoreja zpred ich tvári, ktorého výška bola jako výška cedier, a bol mocný jako duby; no, jednako som zahladil jeho ovocie shora a jeho korene zdola.

¹⁰Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

¹⁰A ja som vás vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme a vodil som vás po púšti štyridsať rokov, aby ste dedične vládli zemou Amoreja.

¹¹And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.

¹¹A vzbudzoval som zpomedzi vašich synov za prorokov a zpomedzi vašich mládencov za nazarejov. Alebo či nie je tak, synovia Izraelovi? hovorí Hospodin.

¹²But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

¹²Ale vy ste napájali nazarejov vínom a prorokom ste zakazovali a vraveli: Neprorokujte!

¹³Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

¹³Hľa, ja budem tlačiť na vás tam, kde ste, jako tlačí voz, plný snopov.

¹⁴Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

¹⁴A zahynie útočište ľahkému čo do behu, a silný nedodá pevnosti svojej vláde, ani hrdina nezachráni útekom svojej duše,

¹⁵Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

¹⁵a ten, kto chytá lučište, neobstojí, a ľahký čo do svojich nôh neunikne, jako ani ten, kto jazdí na koni, nezachráni útekom svojej duše.

¹⁶And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.

¹⁶Ale i ten, kto je zmužilého srdca medzi hrdinami, bude utekať nahý toho dňa, hovorí Hospodin.
