¹Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹Cedekiáš mal dvadsaťjeden rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme, a meno jeho matky bolo Chamútaľ, dcéra Jeremiášova, z Libny.

²And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robil Jehojakim.

³For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

³Lebo pre hnev Hospodinov sa to dialo v Jeruzaleme a v Júdovi, dokiaľ ich len neodvrhol zpred svojej tvári. A Cedekiáš sa sprotivil babylonskému kráľovi.

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

⁴A stalo sa deviateho roku jeho kraľovania, desiateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho istého mesiaca, že prišiel Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, on i všetko jeho vojsko proti Jeruzalemu, a rozložili sa proti nemu táborom a vystavili proti nemu hradby dookola.

⁵So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁵A tak bolo mesto obľahnuté až do jedenásteho roku kráľa Cedekiáša.

⁶And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁶Potom štvrtého mesiaca, deviateho dňa toho mesiaca zmocnil sa mesta hlad, a nebolo chleba pre ľud zeme.

⁷Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

⁷Vtedy bolo prelomené mesto, a všetci bojovní mužovia utiekli a vyšli z mesta vnoci cestou brány medzi dvoma múrami, ktorá bola pri zahrade kráľovej. (A Chaldeji boli proti mestu dookola.) A išli cestou roviny Araby.

⁸But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁸Ale vojsko Chaldejov prenasledovalo kráľa, a dostihli Cedekiáša na rovinách Jericha, a všetko jeho vojsko sa rozpŕchlo od neho.

⁹Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

⁹A chytiac kráľa odviedli ho k babylonskému kráľovi hore do Ribly v zemi Chamata, a tam vypovedal nad ním súd.

¹⁰And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹⁰A babylonský kráľ pobil synov Cedekiášových pred jeho očima a pobil aj všetky kniežatá Júdove v Rible.

¹¹Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

¹¹A oči Cedekiášove oslepil a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami. A babylonský kráľ ho doviedol do Babylona a dal ho do väzenia, kde ho nechal až do dňa jeho smrti.

¹²Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

¹²Potom piateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho istého mesiaca, ktorý to rok bol devätnástym rokom kráľa Nabuchodonozora, babylonského kráľa, prišiel Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, ktorý stával pred babylonským kráľom, do Jeruzalema.

¹³And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

¹³A spálil dom Hospodinov i dom kráľov i všetky domy Jeruzalema i všetky veľké domy popálil ohňom.

¹⁴And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁴Aj všetky múry Jeruzalema dookola rozborilo všetko vojsko Chaldejov, ktoré bolo s veliteľom kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁵Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

¹⁵A z chudoby ľudu jako aj vôbec ostatných z ľudu, ktorí boli pozostali v meste, i prebehlíkov, ktorí boli prebehli k babylonskému kráľovi, a tiež ostatok zástupu prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁶But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

¹⁶Ale niečo z chudobných ľudí zeme ponechal Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, za vinárov a oráčov.

¹⁷Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

¹⁷A medené stĺpy, ktoré patrili domu Hospodinovmu, a podstavce jako aj medené more, ktoré bolo v dome Hospodinovom, potĺkli Chaldeji a odviezli všetku ich meď do Babylona.

¹⁸The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

¹⁸I hrnce, lopatky, nože, čaše, panvy i všetky medené nádoby, ktorými svätoslúžili, pobrali.

¹⁹And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

¹⁹I misy, kadidlá, čaše, hrnce, svietniky, panvy a konvice, ktoré zo zlata, zo zlata, a ktoré zo striebra, zo striebra, pobral veliteľ kráľovskej stráže;

²⁰The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

²⁰dva stĺpy, jedno more, dvanásť volov z medi, ktoré boly miesto podstavcov, ktoré bol spravil kráľ Šalamún pre dom Hospodinov; nebolo váhy ich medi, medi všetkých tých nádob.

²¹And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

²¹Lebo čo do stĺpov, osemnásť lakťov bola výška jedného stĺpa, a objala ho šnúra dvanástich lakťov, a hrúbka jeho steny bola na štyri prsty, a bol dutý.

²²And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

²²A makovica na ňom medená, a výška jednej makovice päť lakťov, a pletivo a zrnaté jablká na makovici dookola, všetko z medi. Tak mal i druhý stĺp, i zrnaté jablká.

²³And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

²³A bolo deväťdesiatšesť zrnatých jabĺk zvonku; všetkých zrnatých jabĺk na pletive dookola bolo sto.

²⁴And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

²⁴A veliteľ kráľovskej stráže vzal i Seraiáša, predného kňaza, i Sofoniáša, kňaza druhého radu, jako aj troch strážcov prahu.

²⁵He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

²⁵A z mesta vzal jedného komorníka, ktorý bol veliteľom nad bojovnými mužmi, a sedem mužov z tých, ktorí vídavali tvár kráľovu, ktorí boli najdení v meste, i pisára veliteľa vojska, ktorý popisoval ľud zeme do vojska, a šesťdesiat mužov z ľudu zeme, ktorí sa našli vnútri v meste.

²⁶So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

²⁶A vezmúc ich Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, odviedol ich k babylonskému kráľovi do Ribly.

²⁷And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

²⁷A babylonský kráľ ich zbil a usmrtil ich v Rible, v zemi Chamatu. A tak sa odstehoval Júda zo svojej zeme do zajatia.

²⁸This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

²⁸Toto je ľud, ktorý prestehoval Nabuchodonozor: v siedmom roku tri tisíce dvadsaťtri Židov;

²⁹In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

²⁹v osemnástom roku Nabuchodonozora: z Jeruzalema osemsto tridsaťdva duší;

³⁰In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

³⁰v dvadsiatom treťom roku Nabuchodonozora prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, Židov sedemsto štyridsaťpäť duší, všetkých duší štyri tisíce šesťsto.

³¹And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.

³¹A stalo sa tridsiateho siedmeho roku zajatia Jehojachina, judského kráľa, dvanásteho mesiaca, dvadsiateho piateho dňa toho mesiaca, že Evil-merodach, babylonský kráľ, toho roku, ktorého začal kraľovať, povýšil hlavu Jehojachina, judského kráľa, a vyviedol ho zo žalára.

³²And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

³²A hovoril s ním dobrotive a dal jeho stolicu nad stolicu iných kráľov, ktorí boli s ním v Babylone.

³³And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

³³A zamenil jeho rúcho, ktoré mal v žalári, a jedol chlieb vždycky pred ním, po všetky dni svojho života.

³⁴And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

³⁴A čo do jeho vymeraného dielu, dávalo sa mu od babylonského kráľa každý deň to, čo bolo na ktorý deň, až do dňa jeho smrti, po všetky dni jeho života.
