¹In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹Desiateho roku, desiateho mesiaca, dvanásteho dňa toho mesiaca stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt;

²Synu človeka, obráť svoju tvár proti faraonovi, egyptskému kráľovi, a prorokuj proti nemu i proti celému Egyptu.

³speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which saith, My river is mine own, and I made it for myself.

³Hovor a povieš: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, prijdem na teba, faraone, egyptský kráľu, veľký draku, ktorý ležíš hovejúc si prostred svojich riek, ktorý hovoríš: Moja rieka je moja, a ja som sa sám učinil!

⁴And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales;

⁴Ale dám obrúčky do tvojich čelustí a spôsobím to, aby sa prilepily ryby tvojich riek na tvoje šupiny, a vyvlečiem ťa zprostred tvojich riek i všetky ryby tvojich riek, ktoré sa prilepia na tvoje šupiny.

⁵and I will cast thee into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together nor gathered: I will give thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens.

⁵A vrhnem ťa na púšť, teba i všetky ryby tvojich riek. Padneš na šírom poli, nebudeš odprataný ani shromaždený; zemskej zveri a nebeskému vtáctvu ťa dám za pokrm.

⁶And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁶A zvedia všetci obyvatelia Egypta, že ja som Hospodin, pretože boli trstinovou palicou opornou domu Izraelovmu.

⁷When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst give way and rend all their shoulder; and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst break, and didst make all their loins to tremble.

⁷Keď sa ťa kedy chytili, tvojej ruky, zlomil si sa a preklal si im celé plece; a keď sa opreli na teba, polámal si sa a spôsobil si to, aby im stály všetky bedrá.

⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast from thee.

⁸Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, uvediem na teba meč a vyplienim z teba človeka i hovädo,

⁹And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, because he saith, The river is mine, and I made it.

⁹a tak bude Egyptská zem pustinou a púšťou, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin, pretože hovorí: Rieka je moja, a ja som učinil.

¹⁰Therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt deserts of wasteness and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, even unto the border of Ethiopia.

¹⁰Preto hľa, prijdem proti tebe i proti tvojim riekam a obrátim Egyptskú zem na hroznú púšť a pustinu od veže Sevéne až po hranicu Ethiopie.

¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, nor shall foot of beast pass through it, nor shall it be inhabited, forty years.

¹¹Nepojde cez ňu noha človeka, ani noha hoväda nepojde cez ňu, a nebude sa v nej bývať štyridsať rokov.

¹²And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be, in the midst of the cities that are laid waste, a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

¹²A tak obrátim Egyptskú zem na pustinu prostred pustých zemí, a jej mestá prostred spustošených miest budú pusté štyridsať rokov, a rozptýlim Egypťanov medzi národy a rozoženiem ich po rôznych zemiach.

¹³Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered;

¹³Lebo takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Po štyridsiatich rokoch shromaždím Egypťanov z národov, kam boli rozptýlení,

¹⁴and I will turn again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return to the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth, and they shall there be a base kingdom.

¹⁴a navrátim zajatých z Egypťanov a dovediem ich zpät do zeme Patrosa, do zeme ich pôvodu, a budú tam nízkym kráľovstvom.

¹⁵It shall be the basest of kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations; and I will diminish them, so that they shall no more rule over the nations.

¹⁵Bude nižším ako iné kráľovstvá a nebude sa viacej povyšovať nad národy, a učiním to, aby ich bolo málo, aby nepanovali spupne nad národami.

¹⁶And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn after them: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁶A nebude viacej domu Izraelovmu nádejou, ktorá by pripomínala neprávosť, keď by sa obracali za nimi, a zvedia, že ja som Pán Hospodin.

¹⁷And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹⁷A bolo dvadsiateho siedmeho roku, prvého mesiaca, prvého dňa toho mesiaca, že stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹⁸Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to do hard service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he from Tyre no wages, nor his army, for the service that he had served against it.

¹⁸Synu človeka, Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, naložil svojmu vojsku velikú službu proti Týru. Každá hlava je oplešivená, a každé plece je odrané, ale nemá mzdy ani on ani jeho vojsko z Týru za službu, ktorú konal proti nemu.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry away her multitude, and seize her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

¹⁹Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, dám Nabuchodonozorovi, babylonskému kráľovi, Egyptskú zem, a odnesie množstvo jej bohatstva a poberie jej korisť a ulúpi jej lúpež, a to bude mzdou jeho vojsku.

²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

²⁰Za jeho plácu, za ktorú slúžil, dám mu Egyptskú zem, pretože to vykonali mne, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

²¹In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

²¹Toho dňa spôsobím to, aby vyrástol roh domu Izraelovmu, a tebe dám to, aby si otvoril ústa prostred nich, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin.
