¹V dvadsiatom treťom roku Joasa, syna Achaziášovho, judského kráľa, začal kraľovať Jehoachaz, syn Jehu-vov, nad Izraelom v Samárii a kraľoval sedemnásť rokov.

¹In the twenty and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, hath Jehoahaz son of Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria — seventeen years,

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, a nasledoval hriechy Jeroboáma, syna Nebátovho, ktorý spôsobil to, aby hrešil Izrael, a neodchýlil sa od toho.

²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin — he turned not aside from it,

³Preto sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela, a vydal ich do ruky Hazaela, sýrskeho kráľa, i do ruky Ben-hadada, syna Hazaelovho, po všetky tie dni.

³and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.

⁴Ale keď sa Jehoachaz pokorne modlil Hospodinovi, vyslyšal ho Hospodin, lebo videl útisk Izraelov, pretože ich utiskoval sýrsky kráľ.

⁴And Jehoahaz appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto him, for He hath seen the oppression of Israel, for oppressed them hath the king of Aram, —

⁵A Hospodin dal Izraelovi spasiteľa, a tak vyšli zpod ruky Sýrov, a zase bývali synovia Izraelovi vo svojich stánoch ako predtým.

⁵and Jehovah giveth to Israel a saviour, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as heretofore;

⁶Avšak predsa len neodstúpili od hriechov domu Jeroboámovho, ktorý spôsobil to, aby hrešil Izrael, lež chodili v tom, ba ešte i háj stál v Samárii.

⁶only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the shrine hath remained in Samaria, —

⁷A veľmi ich utiskoval sýrsky kráľ, lebo neponechal Jehoachazovi z ľudu iba päťdesiat jazdcov a desať vozov a desať tisíc peších, pretože ich pohubil sýrsky kráľ a učinil ich, že boli jako prach, keď mlátia.

⁷for he left not to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram hath destroyed them, and maketh them as dust for threshing.

⁸A ostatné deje Jehoachazove a všetko, čo robil, i jeho udatnosť, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Izraelových?

⁸And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁹A tak ľahol Jehoachaz a ležal so svojimi otcami, a pochovali ho v Samárii, a kraľoval Joas, jeho syn, miesto neho.

⁹And Jehoahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and reign doth Joash his son in his stead.

¹⁰V tridsiatom siedmom roku Joasa, judského kráľa, začal kraľovať Joas, syn Jehoachazov, nad Izraelom v Samárii a kraľoval šestnásť rokov.

¹⁰In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah reigned hath Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, in Samaria — sixteen years,

¹¹A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, neodstúpil od niktorých hriechov Jeroboáma, syna Nebátovho, ktorý spôsobil to, aby hrešil Izrael, v tom chodil.

¹¹and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked.

¹²A ostatné deje Joasove a všetko, čo robil, i jeho udatnosť, ktorou bojoval proti Amaziášovi, judskému kráľovi, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Izraelových?

¹²And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹³A tak ľahol Joas a ležal so svojimi otcami, a na jeho trón dosadol Jeroboám. A Joas bol pochovaný v Samárii s izraelskými kráľmi.

¹³And Joash lieth with his fathers, and Jeroboam hath sat on his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.

¹⁴A Elizeus onemocnel na svoju nemoc, na ktorú i zomrel. A prišiel k nemu dolu Joas, izraelský kráľ, a plakal stojac a povedal: Môj otče, môj otče, vozy Izraelove a jeho jazdcovia!

¹⁴And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and weepeth on his face, and saith, `My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.`

¹⁵A Elizeus mu povedal: Vezmi lučište i strely. A vzal a doniesol k nemu lučište i strely.

¹⁵And Elisha saith to him, `Take bow and arrows:` and he taketh unto him bow and arrows.

¹⁶A riekol izraelskému kráľovi: Polož svoju ruku na lučište! A položil svoju ruku. A Elizeus položil svoje ruky na ruky kráľove.

¹⁶And he saith to the king of Israel, `Place thy hand on the bow;` and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on the hands of the king,

¹⁷A riekol: Otvor okno na východ! A otvoril. Vtedy riekol Elizeus: Streľ! A strelil. A riekol: Strela záchrany Hospodinovej a strela záchrany proti Sýrom, lebo porazíš Sýrov v Aféku až do zničenia.

¹⁷and saith, `Open the window eastward;` and he openeth, and Elisha saith, `Shoot,` and he shooteth; and he saith, `An arrow of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.`

¹⁸Potom riekol: Vezmi strely! A vzal. A riekol izraelskému kráľovi: Uder na zem! A uderil tri razy a zastál.

¹⁸And he saith, `Take the arrows,` and he taketh; and he saith to the king of Israel, `Smite to the earth;` and he smiteth three times, and stayeth.

¹⁹Preto sa nahneval na neho muž Boží a riekol: Mal si uderiť päť alebo šesť ráz, vtedy by si bol porazil Sýrov tak, že by si ich bol zničil, ale teraz len tri razy porazíš Sýrov.

¹⁹And the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, `By smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.`

²⁰Potom zomrel Elizeus, a pochovali ho. A hajná Moábov prišly do zeme nasledujúceho roku lúpežiť.

²⁰And Elisha dieth, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come in to the land, at the coming in of the year,

²¹A stalo sa, keď pochovávali nejakého muža, a keď hľa, videli hajno lupičov, že hodili muža do hrobu Elizeovho. A keď dopadol muž a dotkol sa kostí Elizeových, ožil a vstal na svoje nohy.

²¹and it cometh to pass, they are burying a man, and lo, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goeth and cometh against the bones of Elisha, and liveth, and riseth on his feet.

²²A Hazael, sýrsky kráľ, utiskoval Izraela po všetky dni Jehoachazove.

²²And Hazael king of Aram hath oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,

²³Ale Hospodin sa zmiloval nad nimi a zľutoval sa nad nimi a obrátil svoj zreteľ na nich pre svoju smluvu s Abrahámom, Izákom a Jakobom a nechcel ich zahladiť ani ich nezavrhnul od svojej tvári až do teraz.

²³and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.

²⁴A keď zomrel Hazael, sýrsky kráľ, kraľoval Ben-hadad, jeho syn, miesto neho.

²⁴And Hazael king of Aram dieth, and reign doth Ben-Hadad his son in his stead,

²⁵A Joas, syn Jehoachazov, pobral zase mestá z ruky Ben-hadada, syna Hazaelovho, ktoré bol vzal z ruky Jehoachaza, jeho otca, vo vojne. Tri razy ho porazil Joas a prinavrátil mestá Izraelove.

²⁵and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turneth and taketh the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times hath Joash smitten him, and he bringeth back the cities of Israel.
