¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹Cedekiáš mal dvadsaťjeden rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme, a meno jeho matky bolo Chamútaľ, dcéra Jeremiášova, z Libny.

²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robil Jehojakim.

³For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

³Lebo pre hnev Hospodinov sa to dialo v Jeruzaleme a v Júdovi, dokiaľ ich len neodvrhol zpred svojej tvári. A Cedekiáš sa sprotivil babylonskému kráľovi.

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.

⁴A stalo sa deviateho roku jeho kraľovania, desiateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho istého mesiaca, že prišiel Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, on i všetko jeho vojsko proti Jeruzalemu, a rozložili sa proti nemu táborom a vystavili proti nemu hradby dookola.

⁵And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁵A tak bolo mesto obľahnuté až do jedenásteho roku kráľa Cedekiáša.

⁶In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁶Potom štvrtého mesiaca, deviateho dňa toho mesiaca zmocnil sa mesta hlad, a nebolo chleba pre ľud zeme.

⁷And the city was broken into: and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.

⁷Vtedy bolo prelomené mesto, a všetci bojovní mužovia utiekli a vyšli z mesta vnoci cestou brány medzi dvoma múrami, ktorá bola pri zahrade kráľovej. (A Chaldeji boli proti mestu dookola.) A išli cestou roviny Araby.

⁸And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁸Ale vojsko Chaldejov prenasledovalo kráľa, a dostihli Cedekiáša na rovinách Jericha, a všetko jeho vojsko sa rozpŕchlo od neho.

⁹And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.

⁹A chytiac kráľa odviedli ho k babylonskému kráľovi hore do Ribly v zemi Chamata, a tam vypovedal nad ním súd.

¹⁰And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹⁰A babylonský kráľ pobil synov Cedekiášových pred jeho očima a pobil aj všetky kniežatá Júdove v Rible.

¹¹And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

¹¹A oči Cedekiášove oslepil a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami. A babylonský kráľ ho doviedol do Babylona a dal ho do väzenia, kde ho nechal až do dňa jeho smrti.

¹²And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;

¹²Potom piateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho istého mesiaca, ktorý to rok bol devätnástym rokom kráľa Nabuchodonozora, babylonského kráľa, prišiel Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, ktorý stával pred babylonským kráľom, do Jeruzalema.

¹³and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.

¹³A spálil dom Hospodinov i dom kráľov i všetky domy Jeruzalema i všetky veľké domy popálil ohňom.

¹⁴And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁴Aj všetky múry Jeruzalema dookola rozborilo všetko vojsko Chaldejov, ktoré bolo s veliteľom kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁵And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

¹⁵A z chudoby ľudu jako aj vôbec ostatných z ľudu, ktorí boli pozostali v meste, i prebehlíkov, ktorí boli prebehli k babylonskému kráľovi, a tiež ostatok zástupu prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁶But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

¹⁶Ale niečo z chudobných ľudí zeme ponechal Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, za vinárov a oráčov.

¹⁷And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon.

¹⁷A medené stĺpy, ktoré patrili domu Hospodinovmu, a podstavce jako aj medené more, ktoré bolo v dome Hospodinovom, potĺkli Chaldeji a odviezli všetku ich meď do Babylona.

¹⁸The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.

¹⁸I hrnce, lopatky, nože, čaše, panvy i všetky medené nádoby, ktorými svätoslúžili, pobrali.

¹⁹And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.

¹⁹I misy, kadidlá, čaše, hrnce, svietniky, panvy a konvice, ktoré zo zlata, zo zlata, a ktoré zo striebra, zo striebra, pobral veliteľ kráľovskej stráže;

²⁰The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.

²⁰dva stĺpy, jedno more, dvanásť volov z medi, ktoré boly miesto podstavcov, ktoré bol spravil kráľ Šalamún pre dom Hospodinov; nebolo váhy ich medi, medi všetkých tých nádob.

²¹And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

²¹Lebo čo do stĺpov, osemnásť lakťov bola výška jedného stĺpa, a objala ho šnúra dvanástich lakťov, a hrúbka jeho steny bola na štyri prsty, a bol dutý.

²²And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.

²²A makovica na ňom medená, a výška jednej makovice päť lakťov, a pletivo a zrnaté jablká na makovici dookola, všetko z medi. Tak mal i druhý stĺp, i zrnaté jablká.

²³And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.

²³A bolo deväťdesiatšesť zrnatých jabĺk zvonku; všetkých zrnatých jabĺk na pletive dookola bolo sto.

²⁴And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.

²⁴A veliteľ kráľovskej stráže vzal i Seraiáša, predného kňaza, i Sofoniáša, kňaza druhého radu, jako aj troch strážcov prahu.

²⁵And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of the city.

²⁵A z mesta vzal jedného komorníka, ktorý bol veliteľom nad bojovnými mužmi, a sedem mužov z tých, ktorí vídavali tvár kráľovu, ktorí boli najdení v meste, i pisára veliteľa vojska, ktorý popisoval ľud zeme do vojska, a šesťdesiat mužov z ľudu zeme, ktorí sa našli vnútri v meste.

²⁶And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;

²⁶A vezmúc ich Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, odviedol ich k babylonskému kráľovi do Ribly.

²⁷and the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

²⁷A babylonský kráľ ich zbil a usmrtil ich v Rible, v zemi Chamatu. A tak sa odstehoval Júda zo svojej zeme do zajatia.

²⁸This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

²⁸Toto je ľud, ktorý prestehoval Nabuchodonozor: v siedmom roku tri tisíce dvadsaťtri Židov;

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

²⁹v osemnástom roku Nabuchodonozora: z Jeruzalema osemsto tridsaťdva duší;

³⁰in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.

³⁰v dvadsiatom treťom roku Nabuchodonozora prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, Židov sedemsto štyridsaťpäť duší, všetkých duší štyri tisíce šesťsto.

³¹And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

³¹A stalo sa tridsiateho siedmeho roku zajatia Jehojachina, judského kráľa, dvanásteho mesiaca, dvadsiateho piateho dňa toho mesiaca, že Evil-merodach, babylonský kráľ, toho roku, ktorého začal kraľovať, povýšil hlavu Jehojachina, judského kráľa, a vyviedol ho zo žalára.

³²and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

³²A hovoril s ním dobrotive a dal jeho stolicu nad stolicu iných kráľov, ktorí boli s ním v Babylone.

³³And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;

³³A zamenil jeho rúcho, ktoré mal v žalári, a jedol chlieb vždycky pred ním, po všetky dni svojho života.

³⁴and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

³⁴A čo do jeho vymeraného dielu, dávalo sa mu od babylonského kráľa každý deň to, čo bolo na ktorý deň, až do dňa jeho smrti, po všetky dni jeho života.
