¹And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

¹A vyšiel anjel, posol Hospodinov z Gilgala hore do Bochíma a riekol: Vyviedol som vás hore z Egypta a doviedol som vás do zeme, o ktorej som prisahal sľúbiac ju vašim otcom, a riekol som: Nezruším svojej smluvy s vami na veky.

²And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

²Ale ani vy neučiníte smluvy s obyvateľmi tejto zeme, ich oltáre rozboríte. No, neposlúchli ste môjho hlasu; čo ste to urobili?

³Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

³A preto som tiež povedal: Nezaženiem ich zpred vašej tvári, a budú vám tŕňami do bokov, a ich bohovia vám budú osídlom.

⁴And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁴A stalo sa, keď hovoril anjel Hospodinov tieto slová všetkým synom Izraelovým, že ľudia pozdvihli svoj hlas a plakali.

⁵And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

⁵A nazvali meno toho miesta Bochím. A obetovali tam Hospodinovi bitné obeti.

⁶And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

⁶A tedy Jozua prepustil ľud, a synovia Izraelovi išli každý do svojho dedičstva zaujať zem dedičstva.

⁷And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

⁷A ľud slúžil Hospodinovi po všetky dni Jozuove a po všetky dni starších, ktorí prežili Jozuu, ktorí videli všetky tie veľké skutky Hospodinove, ktoré činil Izraelovi.

⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

⁸A keď zomrel Jozua, syn Núna, služobník Hospodinov, majúc sto desať rokov,

⁹And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

⁹pochovali ho na území jeho dedičstva, v Timnat-cherese, na vrchu Efraimovom, od severa vrchu Gáš.

¹⁰And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

¹⁰I celé to pokolenie bolo pripojené ku svojim otcom, a povstalo iné pokolenie po ňom, potomci, ktorí neznali Hospodina ani skutkov, ktoré učinil Izraelovi.

¹¹And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

¹¹A synovia Izraelovi činili to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, a slúžili Bálom.

¹²And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

¹²A tak opustili Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov, ktorý ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme, a odišli za inými bohmi, za bohmi z bohov národov, ktoré boly vôkol nich, a klaňali sa im a tak popudzovali Hospodina.

¹³And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

¹³A opustiac Hospodina slúžili Bálovi a Astartám.

¹⁴And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

¹⁴Vtedy sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela a vydal ich do ruky lupičov, ktorí ich olupovali, a predal ich do ruky ich nepriateľov, ktorí boli naokolo, takže nemohli viacej obstáť pred svojimi nepriateľmi.

¹⁵Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

¹⁵Kamkoľvek vyšli, všade bola ruka Hospodinova proti nim na zlé, tak, ako hovoril Hospodin a jako im prisahal Hospodin, a bolo im veľmi úzko.

¹⁶Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

¹⁶A Hospodin im vzbudzoval sudcov, ktorí ich zachraňovali vyslobodzujúc ich z ruky tých, ktorí ich olupovali.

¹⁷And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

¹⁷Ale nepočúvali ani na svojich sudcov, lebo smilnili odchádzaním za inými bohmi a klaňali sa im. Rýchle uhli s cesty, po ktorej išli ich otcovia poslúchajúc prikázania Hospodinove. Nerobili tak.

¹⁸And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

¹⁸A keď im vzbudzoval Hospodin sudcov, Hospodin bol so sudcom a zachránil ich z ruky ich nepriateľov, a bolo tak po všetky dni toho sudcu, lebo Hospodin želel počujúc ich vzdychanie pre ich utlačovateľov a ich honičov.

¹⁹And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

¹⁹A stávalo sa, keď zomrel taký sudca, že sa znova porušili a robili horšie ako ich otcovia idúc za inými bohmi, aby im slúžili a aby sa im klaňali. Neupustili od svojich skutkov a od svojej cesty tvrdohlavej.

²⁰And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

²⁰Preto sa aj zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela, a riekol: Pretože tento národ stále prestupuje moju smluvu, ktorú som prikázal ich otcom a nepočúvajú na môj hlas,

²¹I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

²¹ani ja nevyženiem viacej zpred ich tvári nikoho z národov, ktoré zanechal Jozua, keď zomrel,

²²That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

²²nato, aby som nimi zkúšal Izraela, či budú ostríhať cestu prikázaní Hospodinových chodiac v nich, ako ostríhali ich otcovia, a či nebudú.

²³Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

²³A Hospodin ponechal tie národy a nevyhnal ich rýchle ani ich nedal do ruky Jozuu.
