¹And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead, in Jerusalem.

¹A ľud zeme vzal Jehoachaza, syna Joziášovho, a urobili ho kráľom namiesto jeho otca v Jeruzaleme.

²Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

²Joachaz mal dvadsaťtri rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval tri mesiace v Jeruzaleme.

³And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

³A odstránil ho egyptský kráľ v Jeruzaleme a pokutoval zem na sto hrivien striebra a na hrivnu zlata.

⁴And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

⁴A egyptský kráľ urobil kráľom Eljakima, jeho brata, nad Judskom a nad Jeruzalemom a premenil jeho meno na Jehojakima, kým Joachaza, jeho brata, vzal Necho a zaviedol ho do Egypta.

⁵Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.

⁵Jehojakim mal dvadsaťpäť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodina, jeho Boha.

⁶Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him with chains of brass to carry him to Babylon.

⁶Proti nemu prišiel hore Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami, aby ho odviedol do Babylona.

⁷And Nebuchadnezzar carried [part] of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

⁷Aj niečo z nádob domu Hospodinovho odpravil Nabuchodonozor do Babylona a dal ich do svojho chrámu v Babylone.

⁸And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁸A ostatné deje Jehojakimove jako i jeho ohavnosti, ktoré páchal, a čo sa iné našlo pri ňom, to hľa, je napísané v knihe kráľov Izraelových a Júdových. A kraľoval Jehojachin, jeho syn, miesto neho.

⁹Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.

⁹Jehojachin mal osem rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval tri mesiace a desať dní v Jeruzaleme. A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových.

¹⁰And at the turn of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of Jehovah; and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹⁰Potom po roku poslal kráľ Nabuchodonozor po neho a dal ho zaviesť do Babylona so vzácnymi nádobami domu Hospodinovho a urobil kráľom Cedekiáša, jeho brata, príbuzného, nad Judskom a nad Jeruzalemom.

¹¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

¹¹Cedekiáš mal dvadsaťjeden rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme.

¹²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before the prophet Jeremiah speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.

¹²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodina, jeho Boha. Nepokoril sa pred prorokom Jeremiášom, ktorý mu hovoril slovo z úst Hospodinových.

¹³And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹³Ba sprotivil sa i kráľovi Nabuchodonozorovi, ktorý ho zaviazal prísahou na Boha, a zatvrdil svoju šiju a urputne sa zoprel vo svojom srdci, že sa nevráti k Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu.

¹⁴All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

¹⁴Áno, aj všetky kniežatá kňazov i ľud dopúšťali sa mnohých a veľkých prestúpení robiac podľa všetkých ohavností pohanských národov a poškvrnili dom Hospodinov, ktorý bol posvätil v Jeruzaleme.

¹⁵And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling-place.

¹⁵A keď posielal k nim Hospodin, Bôh ich otcov, výstražný hlas po svojich posloch zavčasu a znova a znova, lebo mu bolo ľúto jeho ľudu a jeho príbytku,

¹⁶But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no remedy.

¹⁶posmievali sa poslom Božím a opovrhovali jeho slovami a mali jeho prorokov za bludárov, až vzplanul prchký hnev Hospodinov na jeho ľud tak, že už nebolo lieku.

¹⁷And he brought up [against] them the king of the Chaldees, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and spared not young man nor maiden, old man nor him of hoary head: he gave [them] all into his hand.

¹⁷A doviedol hore na nich chaldejského kráľa, ktorý pobil ich mládencov mečom v dome ich svätyne a nezľutoval sa ani nad mládencom ani nad pannou, nad starším ani nad kmeťom; všetkých vydal do jeho ruky.

¹⁸And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, he brought all to Babylon.

¹⁸K tomu i všetky nádoby domu Božieho, veľké i malé, i poklady domu Hospodinovho i poklady kráľove i jeho kniežatá, to všetko pobral a dopravil do Babylona.

¹⁹And they burned the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof were given up to destruction.

¹⁹A napokon spálili dom Boží a rozborili múr Jeruzalema i všetky jeho paláce popálili ohňom i všetko jeho vzácne náradie zničili.

²⁰And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they became servants to him and his sons, until the reign of the kingdom of Persia;

²⁰A to, čo pozostalo po meči, prestehoval do Babylona do zajatia, a boli jemu a jeho synom za služobníkov, až dokiaľ nekraľovalo perzské kráľovstvo,

²¹to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.

²¹aby sa naplnilo slovo Hospodinovo, povedané skrze ústa Jeremiášove, dokiaľ sa nenakochala zem svojich sobôt; po všetky dni, ktoré ležala púšťou, odpočívala, aby sa vyplnilo sedemdesiat rokov.

²²And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

²²Potom prvého roku Cýra, perzského kráľa, aby sa naplnilo slovo Hospodinovo, povedané skrze ústa Jeremiáša, zobudil Hospodin ducha Cýra, perzského kráľa, a tak dal vyhlásiť po celom svojom kráľovstve, a to i písmom týmito slovami:

²³Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.

²³Takto hovorí Cýrus, perzský kráľ: Hospodin, Bôh nebies, mi dal všetky kráľovstvá zeme a on mi naložil, aby som mu vystavil dom v Jeruzaleme, ktorý je v Judsku. Preto kto je kde medzi vami zo všetkého jeho ľudu, Hospodin, jeho Bôh, nech je s ním, a nech ide ta hore.-
