¹Osemnásteho roku kráľa Jeroboáma kraľoval Abiáš nad Júdom.

¹In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam -- Abijah reigneth over Judah;

²Tri roky kraľoval v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Michaja, dcéra Uriélova z Gibee. A bola vojna medzi Abiášom a medzi Jeroboámom.

²three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah,) and war hath been between Abijah and Jeroboam.

³A Abiáš nadviazal vojnu s vojskom udatných bojovníkov, so štyristo tisíc vybranými mužmi. A Jeroboám sa prihotovil s ním do boja s osemsto tisíc vybranými mužmi udatnými.

³And Abijah directeth the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam hath set in array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty of valour.

⁴A Abiáš sa postavil od hora vrchu Cemaraima, ktorý je v pohorí Efraimovom, a riekol: Počujte ma, Jeroboáme a celý Izrael!

⁴And Abijah riseth up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, and saith, `Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel!

⁵Či vy nemáte vedieť, že Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, dal kráľovstvo nad Izraelom Dávidovi na veky, jemu a jeho synom smluvou soli?

⁵Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and to his sons -- a covenant of salt?

⁶Ale povstal Jeroboám, syn Nebátov, služobník Šalamúna, syna Dávidovho, a sprotivil sa svojmu pánovi!

⁶and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebelleth against his lord!

⁷A sobrali sa spolu s ním bohaprázdni mužovia zaháľčiví, synovia beliála, a zmocnili sa proti Rechabeámovi, synovi Šalamúnovmu, kým Rechabeám bol dieťa a nežného srdca a neukázal sa pred nimi silným.

⁷`And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and hath not strengthened himself against them.

⁸A tak teraz vy hovoríte vo svojom srdci, že sa ukážete silnými voči kráľovstvu Hospodinovmu, ktoré je v ruke synov Dávidových, a je vás veliké množstvo a máte so sebou zlaté teľce, ktoré vám spravil Jeroboám, za bohov!

⁸`And now, ye are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye [are] a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that Jeroboam hath made to you for gods.

⁹Či ste azda nezahnali kňazov Hospodinových, synov Áronových, a Levitov? A narobili ste si kňazov ako národy iných zemí; ktokoľvek prijde, aby naplnil svoju ruku juncom alebo siedmimi baranmi, nuž stane sa kňazom tomu, čo nie je Bohom.

⁹`Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the peoples of the lands? every one who hath come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he hath been a priest to No-gods!

¹⁰Ale naším Bohom je Hospodin, a neopustili sme ho, a kňazmi, ktorí svätoslúžia Hospodinovi, sú synovia Áronovi, a Levitovia sú pri svojej práci

¹⁰`As for us, Jehovah [is] our God, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to Jehovah, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work,

¹¹a kadiac pália Hospodinovi zápalné obeti každého rána a každého večera a kadivo z voňavých vecí, aj predloženie chleba je na čistom stole, i zlatý svietnik máme i jeho lampy, aby ich zapaľovali každého večera. Lebo my ostríhame nariadenia Hospodina, svojho Boha; ale vy ste ho opustili.

¹¹and are making perfume to Jehovah, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of Jehovah our God, and ye -- ye have forsaken Him.

¹²A hľa, preto je s nami na čele Bôh ako vodca, a sú s nami jeho kňazi a trúby radostného pretrubovania, aby mocne trúbily proti vám, synovia Izraelovi! Nebojujte s Hospodinom, Bohom svojich otcov, lebo sa vám nepovodí šťastne!

¹²`And lo, with us -- at [our] head -- [is] God, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, God of your fathers, for ye do not prosper.'

¹³Medzitým poslal Jeroboám úkladníkov naokolo, aby im prišli od chrbta. A tak boli pred Júdom, a úklad im bol od chrbta.

¹³And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them.

¹⁴A keď sa obrátili mužovia Júdovi, uvideli, že hľa, nastáva im boj zpredu aj zozadu. Vtedy kričali k Hospodinovi, a kňazi trúbili na trúby.

¹⁴And Judah turneth, and lo, against them [is] the battle, before and behind, and they cry to Jehovah, and the priests are blowing with trumpets,

¹⁵A mužovia Júdovi kričali, nadšení na boj. A stalo sa v tom, keď kričali mužovia Júdovi na boj, že Bôh porazil Jeroboáma i celého Izraela pred Abiášom a pred Júdom.

¹⁵and the men of Judah shout -- and it cometh to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah.

¹⁶A synovia Izraelovi utekali pred Júdom, a Bôh ich dal do ich ruky.

¹⁶And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand,

¹⁷A tak ich porazili, Abiáš a jeho ľud, veľkou porážkou, takže padlo zabitých z Izraela päťsto tisíc vybraných mužov.

¹⁷and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

¹⁸A tak boli zohnutí synovia Izraelovi toho času. A zmocnili sa synovia Júdovi, lebo sa opreli na Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov.

¹⁸And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Jehovah, God of their fathers.

¹⁹A tedy honil Abiáš utekajúceho Jeroboáma a vzal mu mestá, Bét-el a jeho dediny, Ješanu a jej dediny a Efron a jeho dediny.

¹⁹And Abijah pursueth after Jeroboam, and captureth from him cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns.

²⁰Ani sa viacej nezmohol Jeroboám za dní Abiášových. Potom ho ranil Hospodin, aj zomrel.

²⁰And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth.

²¹A Abiáš sa zmocnil a vzal si štrnásť žien a splodil dvadsaťdva synov a šestnásť dcér.

²¹And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters,

²²A ostatné deje Abiášove, jeho cesty a jeho slová, sú napísané vo výklade proroka Iddu.

²²and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the `Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.
