1And it came to pass after this [that] the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
1A potom sa stalo, že prišli synovia Moábovi a synovia Ammonovi a s nimi iní z Ammonovcov proti Jozafatovi do vojny.
2And they came and told Jehoshaphat saying, A great multitude is come against thee from beyond the sea, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.
2Vtedy prišli poslovia a oznámili Jozafatovi a riekli: Prišlo proti tebe veľké množstvo zo zámoria, zo Sýrie, a hľa, sú v Chacecon-támare, ktoré je En-gedi.
3And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
3A Jozafat sa bál a obrátil svoju tvár hľadať Hospodina a vyhlásil pôst na celé Judsko.
4And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.
4Vtedy sa shromaždili synovia Júdu, aby hľadali pomoc od Hospodina, a prišli aj zo všetkých miest Júdových hľadať Hospodina.
5And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;
5A Jozafat sa postavil v shromaždení Júdu a Jeruzalema v dome Hospodinovom, pred novým dvorom,
6and he said, Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not thou God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.
6a riekol: Hospodine, Bože našich otcov, či nie si ty Bohom na nebi? A veď ty panuješ nado všetkými kráľovstvami národov, a v tvojej ruke je sila a udatnosť, a nieto nikoho, kto by sa mohol postaviť proti tebe!
7Hast not thou, our God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy friend?
7Či si ty azda, náš Bože, nevyhnal obyvateľov tejto zeme zpred svojho ľudu Izraela? A dal si ju semenu Abraháma, svojho milovaného priateľa, na veky.
8And they have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
8A bývali v nej a vystavili ti v nej svätyňu, tvojmu menu, povediac:
9If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee -- for thy name is in this house -- and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.
9Keby prišlo na nás zlé, meč súdu, mor a hlad, a keby sme sa postavili pred týmto domom a pred tebou, pretože je tvoje meno v tomto dome, a keby sme kričali k tebe zo svojej úzkosti, vyslyšíš a zachrániš.
10And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not,)
10A teraz hľa, synovia Ammonovi a Moábovi a vrch Seir, cez ktorých prejsť si nedal Izraelovi, keď boli prišli z Egyptskej zeme, ale uhnuli od nich a nezahladili ich,
11behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.
11nuž hľa, oni sa nám odplácajú tým, že prišli, aby nás vyhnali z tvojho dedičstva, ktoré si nám dal večite.
12Our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.
12Náš Bože, či nebudeš súdiť nad nimi? Lebo v nás nie je sily, aby sme obstáli pred týmto veľkým množstvom, ktoré prišlo na nás, ani my nevieme, čo by sme mali robiť, ale jedine na teba hľadia naše oči.-
13And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
13A všetci synovia Júdovi stáli pred Hospodinom, aj ich drobné deti, ich ženy a ich synovia.
14And upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, upon him came the Spirit of Jehovah, in the midst of the congregation;
14Vtedy prišiel na Jachaziela, syna Zachariáša, syna Benaiáša, syna Jehiela, syna Mattaniáša, Levitu zo synov Azafových, Duch Hospodinov prostred shromaždenia,
15and he said, Be attentive, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat! Thus saith Jehovah unto you: Fear not, nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
15a riekol: Pozorujte, všetok Júda a obyvatelia Jeruzalema, i ty kráľu Jozafate! Takto vám hovorí Hospodin: Nebojte sa vy ani sa nestrachujte pred tým velikým množstvom, lebo nie vám je boj, ale Bohu.
16To-morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
16Zajtra sídite na nich. Hľa, pojdú hore stráňou Cíc, a najdete ich na konci údolia pred púšťou Jeruel.
17Ye shall not have to fight on this occasion: set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah [who is] with you! Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them, and Jehovah will be with you.
17Nebude to vašou vecou bojovať v tomto boji. Postavte sa, stojte a vidzte spasenie Hospodinovo, ktorý je s vami, Júda a Jeruzalem. Nebojte sa ani sa nestrachujte! Zajtra vyjdite proti nim, a Hospodin bude s vami.
18And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.
18A Jozafat sa sklonil tvárou k zemi, a všetok Júda i obyvatelia Jeruzalema padli pred Hospodinom klaňajúc sa Hospodinovi.
19And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with an exceeding loud voice.
19Potom vstali Levitovia zo synov Kehátovcov a zo synov Kórachovcov, aby chválili Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, velikým hlasom, náramne.
20And they rose early in the morning, and went forth towards the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Jehovah your God, and ye shall be established; believe his prophets, and ye shall prosper!
20A tak vstali skoro ráno a vyšli na púšť Tekoa. A keď vychádzali, Jozafat stál a povedal: Počujte ma, Júda a obyvatelia Jeruzalema! Verte v Hospodina, svojho Boha, a stojte verne; verte v jeho prorokov a konajte šťastne!
21And he consulted with the people, and appointed singers to Jehovah, and those that should praise in holy splendour, as they went forth before the armed men, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever!
21A keď sa poradil s ľudom, postavil spevákov Hospodinovi, a to aby chválili okrasu svätosti idúc pred ozbrojencami a aby hovorili: Oslavujte Hospodina, lebo jeho milosť trvá na veky!
22And when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.
22A v tom čase, keď začali plesať a chváliť, dal Hospodin úkladníkov na synov Ammonových a Moábových a na obyvateľov vrchu Seira, ktorí boli prišli proti Júdovi, a boli porazení.
23And the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to exterminate and destroy [them]; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
23Lebo sa postavili synovia Ammonovi a Moábovi proti obyvateľom vrchu Seira, aby ich oddali úplnej záhube a aby ich zahladili. A keď dokončili proti obyvateľom Seira, pomáhali druh proti druhovi zahladiť.
24And Judah came on to the mountain-watch in the wilderness, and they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.
24Medzitým prišiel Júda na výhľadisko na púšť a obrátiac sa pozreli na množstvo. A hľa, videli, že sú mŕtvolami, ležiacimi na zemi, a že ani nebolo toho, kto by bol ušiel.
25And Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoil of them, and they found among them in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and precious things, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away; and they were three days in plundering the spoil, it was so much.
25Vtedy prišiel Jozafat a jeho ľud pobrať ich korisť a našli jej u nich množstvo i majetku i klenotov u mŕtvol i vzácneho náradia, a nabrali si koristi každý toľko, že to až nemohli uniesť. A tri dni brali korisť, lebo jej bolo mnoho.
26And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Berachah, to this day.
26Potom štvrtého dňa sa shromaždili do doliny Berácha, lebo tam dobrorečili Hospodinovi. Preto nazvali meno toho miesta Emek-berácha, a tak sa volá až do tohoto dňa.
27And they returned, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
27A vrátili sa všetci mužovia Júdovi aj mužovia Jeruzalema i Jozafat na ich čele, aby sa navrátili do Jeruzalema s radosťou, lebo im dal Hospodin radosť z porážky ich nepriateľov.
28And they came to Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, to the house of Jehovah.
28A prišli do Jeruzalema s harfami, citarami a s trúbami do domu Hospodinovho.
29And the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.
29A strach Boží prišiel na všetky kráľovstvá tých zemí, keď počuli, že Hospodin bojoval proti nepriateľom Izraelovým.
30And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about.
30A kráľovstvo Jozafatovo malo pokoj, a jeho Bôh mu dal odpočinutia zo všetkých strán.
31And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
31A Jozafat kraľoval nad Júdom. Tridsaťpäť rokov mal, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dvadsaťpäť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Azuba, a bola dcérou Šilchiho.
32And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah.
32Chodil po ceste svojho otca Azu ani neuhol od nej robiac to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových.
33Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.
33Avšak výšiny neboly uhly, lebo ľud ešte nebol ustavil svojho srdca k Bohu svojich otcov.
34And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
34A ostatné deje Jozafatove, prvé i posledné, tie hľa, sú napísané v dejinách Jehu-va, syna Chananiho, čo bolo vnesené do knihy kráľov Izraelových.
35And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.
35Potom sa spolčil Jozafat, judský kráľ, s Achaziášom, izraelským kráľom, ktorý páchal bezbožnosť.
36And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
36Spolčil sa s ním preto, aby narobil lodí, ktoré maly ísť do Taršíša. A narobili lodí v Ecjon-gábere.
37And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not go to Tarshish.
37Vtedy prorokoval Eliézer, syn Dodavahú-va z Maréše, proti Jozafatovi povediac: Za to, že si sa spolčil s Achaziášom, Hospodin rozborí tvoje práce. Aj stroskotaly lode a nemohly ísť do Taršíša.
