¹And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.

¹A keď prišiel siedmy mesiac, a synovia Izraelovi boli v mestách, shromaždil sa ľud ako jeden muž do Jeruzalema.

²Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer up burnt-offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

²Vtedy vstal Ješua, syn Jocadákov, i jeho bratia, kňazi, i Zerubábel, syn Šealtielov, i jeho bratia a vystavili oltár Boha Izraelovho, aby obetovali na ňom zápalné obeti, jako je napísané v zákone Mojžiša, muža Božieho.

³And they set the altar on its base; for fear was upon them because of the people of the countries; and they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, the morning and evening burnt-offerings.

³A tak postavili oltár na jeho základoch, lebo doliehal na nich strach od národov zemí, a obetovali na ňom zápalné obeti Hospodinovi, zápalné obeti ráno a večer.

⁴And they held the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and [offered] daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;

⁴A slávili slávnosť stánov, ako je napísané, obetujúc zápalnú obeť každého dňa v predpísanom počte a podľa poriadku každý deň to, čo bolo na ktorý deň nariadené,

⁵and afterwards the continual burnt-offering, and those of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a voluntary offering to Jehovah.

⁵a potom zápalnú obeť ustavičnú i na novmesiace i na všetky výročné slávnosti Hospodinove zasvätené a za každého dobrovoľne obetujúceho nejakú dobrovoľnú obeť Hospodinovi.

⁶From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not [yet] laid.

⁶Od prvého dňa siedmeho mesiaca začali obetovať zápalné obeti Hospodinovi, hoci chrám Hospodinov nebol ešte založený.

⁷And they gave money to the masons and to the carpenters; and meat and drink and oil to the Zidonians and to the Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

⁷Ale dali peniaze kameniarom a tesárom a stravu, nápoj a olej Sidoncom a Týranom, aby dopravili cedrové drevo s Libanona po mori do Joppy podľa dovolenia Cýra, perzského kráľa, ktoré mali.

⁸And in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of Jehovah.

⁸A druhého roku po svojom príchode k domu Božiemu do Jeruzalema, druhého mesiaca, začali Zerubábel, syn Šealtielov, a Ješua, syn Jocadákov, a ostatok ich bratov, kňazi a Leviti, jako i všetci, ktorí prišli zo zajatia do Jeruzalema, a postavili Levitov vo veku od dvadsať rokov a vyše, aby dohliadali na dielo domu Hospodinovho.

⁹And Jeshua stood up, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one [man], to superintend the workmen in the house of God; [also] the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.

⁹A tak stál Ješua, jeho synovia a jeho bratia, Kadmiel a jeho synovia, synovia Júdovi, spolu, aby dohliadali na tých, ktorí konali prácu na dome Božom, synovia Chenadádovi, ich synovia a ich bratia, Leviti.

¹⁰And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel, with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah according to the directions of David king of Israel.

¹⁰A keď kládli stavitelia základy chrámu Hospodinovho, postavili kňazov, oblečených v bohoslužobnom rúchu, s trúbami a Levitov, synov Azafových, s cymbalmi, aby chválili Hospodina podľa nariadenia Dávida, kráľa Izraelovho.

¹¹And they sang alternately together in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout to the praise of Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.

¹¹A chváliac a oslavujúc Hospodina odpovedali si navzájom, že je dobrý, že jeho milosť trvá nad Izraelom na veky. A všetok ľud pokrikoval veľkým krikom radostným chváliac Hospodina nad založením domu Hospodinovho.

¹²But many of the priests and Levites and chief fathers, the ancient men that had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice, [when] the foundation of this house was laid in their sight; and many shouted aloud for joy.

¹²Ale mnohí z kňazov a Levitov a z hláv otcov, starci, ktorí videli tamten prvý dom, keď zakladali tento dom pred ich očami, plakali veľkým hlasom, kým zase mnohí v radostnom pokrikovaní pozdvihovali svoj hlas,

¹³And the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a great shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

¹³takže ľud nemohol rozoznať hlasu radostného kriku od hlasu plačúceho ľudu, lebo ľud kričal veľkým krikom, takže bolo počuť hlas naďaleko.
