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

¹And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.

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

²A son of three and twenty years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

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

³and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and fineth the land a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;

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.

⁴and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in to Egypt.

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

⁵A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God;

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

⁶against him hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon.

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

⁷And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in Babylon.

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.

⁸And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead.

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.

⁹A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;

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.

¹⁰and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.

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

¹¹A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

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

¹²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah;

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.

¹³and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, God of Israel.

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.

¹⁴Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem.

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,

¹⁵And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers -- rising early and sending -- for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,

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.

¹⁶and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people -- till there is no healing.

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.

¹⁷And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged -- the whole He hath given into his hand.

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.

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

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

¹⁹And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels -- to destruction.

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

²⁰And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,

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.

²¹to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath -- to the fulness of seventy years.

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:

²²And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

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.-

²³`Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God [is] with him, and he doth go up.'
