¹A kráľ poslal poslov, a shromaždili k nemu všetkých starších Judska a Jeruzalema.

¹And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,

²Potom vyšiel kráľ hore do domu Hospodinovho i všetci mužovia Judska i všetci obyvatelia Jeruzalema s ním, i kňazi i proroci i všetok ľud, od malého až do veľkého. A čítal v ich prítomnosti, tak aby počuli, všetky slová knihy smluvy, ktorá bola najdená v dome Hospodinovom.

²and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.

³A kráľ stojac na vyvýšenom mieste učinil smluvu pred Hospodinom, že bude nasledovať Hospodina a ostríhať jeho prikázania a jeho svedoctvá a jeho ustanovenia celým srdcom a celou dušou, aby učinil to, že by stály slová tejto smluvy, napísané v tejto knihe. A všetok ľud sa postavil na tú smluvu.

³And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the covenant.

⁴Potom rozkázal kráľ Hilkiášovi, najvyššiemu kňazovi, i kňazom druhého radu i strážcom prahu, aby vyniesli z chrámu Hospodinovho všetky nádoby, spravené Bálovi a háju a všetkému vojsku nebeskému, a spálil ich vonku za Jeruzalemom na poli Kidrona a ich prach odniesol do Bét-ela.

⁴And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El.

⁵A sosadil modlárskych kňazov, ktorých boli ustanovili judskí kráľovia, a ktorí kadili na výšinách po mestách Judska a v okolí Jeruzalema, jako aj tých, ktorí kadili Bálovi, slncu, mesiacu, planetám a všetkému vojsku nebeskému.

⁵And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem,) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens.

⁶A dal vyniesť háj z domu Hospodinovho ta von z Jeruzalema k potoku Kidronu a spálil ho pri potoku Kidrone a roztĺkol na prach a jeho prach hodil na hroby synov obecného ľudu.

⁶And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.

⁷A rozboril domy zasvätených smilstvu, ktoré boly v dome Hospodinovom, v ktorých tkaly ženy domce pre háj.

⁷And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine.

⁸A dal doviesť všetkých kňazov z miest Judska a poškvrnil výšiny, na ktorých kadievali kňazi, od Geby až po Bér-šebu, a rozboril výšiny brán, tie, ktoré boly pri vchode do brány Jozuu, kniežaťa mesta, ktoré boly po ľavej strane tomu, kto vchádzal do brány mesta.

⁸And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man`s left hand at the gate of the city;

⁹Avšak nevyšli kňazi výšin hore k oltáru Hospodinovmu v Jeruzaleme, ale iba jedli nekvasené medzi svojimi bratmi.

⁹only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brethren.

¹⁰Poškvrnil aj Tofet, ktoré je v údolí synov Hinnoma, aby nikto viac nevodil svojho syna alebo svojej dcéry cez oheň Molochovi.

¹⁰And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.

¹¹A odpratal kone, ktoré boli dali judskí kráľovia slncu, od vchodu do domu Hospodinovho, pri sieni Netan-melecha, komorníka, ktorý bol v Parvaríme. A vozy slnca spálil ohňom.

¹¹And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.

¹²A oltáre, ktoré boly na postreší hornej siene Achazovej, ktoré spravili judskí kráľovia, ako aj oltáre, ktoré spravil Manasses, v oboch nádvoriach domu Hospodinovho, rozboril kráľ a roztrepal ich a odpratal odtiaľ a ich prach vyhodil do potoka Kidrona.

¹²And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their dust unto the brook Kidron.

¹³Aj výšiny, ktoré boly pred Jeruzalemom, ktoré boly z pravej strany vrchu Zhuby, ktoré vystavil Šalamún, izraelský kráľ, Astarte, hnusobe Sidoncov, a Chámošovi, hnusobe Moábov, a Molochovi, ohavnosti synov Ammonových, poškvrnil kráľ.

¹³And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled.

¹⁴A potrieskal modlárske stĺpy a posekal háje a ich miesto zaplnil ľudskými kosťami.

¹⁴And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;

¹⁵Aj oltár, ktorý bol v Bét-ele, výšinu, ktorú spravil Jeroboám, syn Nebátov, ktorý spôsobil to, aby hrešil Izrael, i ten oltár i výšinu rozboril a spálil výšinu, rozdrvil na prach a háj spálil.

¹⁵and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and doth burn the high place — he hath beat it small to dust, and hath burnt the shrine.

¹⁶A keď sa obrátil Joziáš, videl hroby, ktoré boly tam na vrchu, a pošlúc ta pobral kosti z hrobov a spálil ich na oltári a tak ho poškvrnil podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré zavolal muž Boží, ktorý volajúc predpovedal tieto veci.

¹⁶And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth [them] on the altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

¹⁷A riekol: Aký je to tam znak, ktorý vidím? A mužovia mesta mu povedali: To je hrob muža Božieho, ktorý bol prišiel z Judska a ktorý volajúc predpovedal tieto veci, ktoré si učinil na oltári Bét-ela.

¹⁷And he saith, `What [is] this sign that I see?` and the men of the city say unto him, `The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.`

¹⁸Vtedy riekol: Nechajte ho, nech nikto nehýbe jeho kostí. A tak zachránili jeho kosti s kosťami proroka, ktorý bol prišiel zo Samárie.

¹⁸And he saith, `Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;` and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

¹⁹I všetky domy výšin, ktoré boly v mestách Samárie, ktorých narobili izraelskí kráľovia, aby popudzovali, odstránil Joziáš a urobil im podľa všetkých skutkov, ktoré urobil v Bét-ele.

¹⁹And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.

²⁰A pobijúc obetoval všetkých kňazov výšin, ktorí boli tam, na oltároch a pálil na nich ľudské kosti. Potom sa navrátil do Jeruzalema.

²⁰And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.

²¹Potom rozkázal kráľ všetkému ľudu a riekol: Slávte slávnosť veľkonočného baránka Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, jako je napísané v tejto knihe smluvy!

²¹And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, `Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.`

²²Lebo taká slávnosť veľkonočného baránka jako táto nebola slávená odo dní sudcov, ktorí súdili Izraela, ani po všetky dni izraelských kráľov ani judských kráľov.

²²Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;

²³Ale iba v osemnástom roku kráľa Joziáša bola tak slávená táto slávnosť baránka Hospodinovi v Jeruzaleme.

²³but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem.

²⁴I duchárov, vedomcov, domácich bohov aj iných ukydaných bohov i všetky hnusoby, ktoré bolo vidieť v Judskej zemi i v Jeruzaleme, odpratal Joziáš, aby postavil slová zákona, napísané v knihe, ktorú našiel kňaz Hilkiáš v dome Hospodinovom.

²⁴And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the house of Jehovah.

²⁵A nebolo jemu rovného kráľa pred ním, ktorý by sa bol tak obrátil k Hospodinovi celým srdcom i celou svojou dušou a celou svojou silou podľa celého zákona Mojžišovho, ani po ňom nepovstal jemu rovný.

²⁵And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him.

²⁶Avšak Hospodin sa už neodvrátil od pále svojho veľkého hnevu, jakou horel jeho hnev proti Júdovi pre všetky tie popudzovania, ktorými ho popudzoval Manasses.

²⁶Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,

²⁷Preto povedal Hospodin: I Júdu odstránim zpred svojej tvári, jako som odstránil Izraela, a zavrhnem toto mesto, ktoré som bol vyvolil, Jeruzalem, i dom, o ktorom som povedal: Moje meno tam bude.

²⁷and Jehovah saith, `Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen — Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name is there.`

²⁸A ostatné deje Joziášove a všetko, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

²⁸And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹Za jeho dní bol vyšiel faraon Necho, egyptský kráľ, proti assýrskemu kráľovi hore ku rieke Eufrates. A kráľ Joziáš odišiel oproti nemu a Necho ho zabil v Megidde hneď, ako ho uvidel.

²⁹In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him.

³⁰A jeho služobníci ho vzali mŕtveho z Megidda na voz a dopravili ho do Jeruzalema a pochovali ho v jeho hrobe. A ľud zeme vzal Jehoachaza, syna Joziášovho, a pomazali ho a urobili ho kráľom namiesto jeho otca.

³⁰And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.

³¹Jehoachaz mal dvadsaťtri rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval tri mesiace v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Chamutaľ, dcéra Jeremiášova, z Libny.

³¹A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,

³²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robili jeho otcovia.

³²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did,

³³A faraon Necho ho poviazal v Rible, v zemi Chamatu, keď kraľoval v Jeruzaleme, a uložil na zem pokutu sto hrivien striebra a hrivnu zlata.

³³and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land — a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

³⁴A faraon Necho urobil kráľom Eljakima, syna Joziášovho, miesto Joziáša, jeho otca, a premenil jeho meno na Jehojakima. A Jehoachaza vzal so sebou. A prišiel do Egypta a zomrel tam.

³⁴And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there.

³⁵A striebro a zlato dal Jehojakim faraonovi, ale prv ocenil zem, aby mohol dať striebro na rozkaz faraonov; od každého podľa jeho ocenenia, tak sohnal striebro a zlato od ľudu zeme, aby ho dal faraonovi Nechovi.

³⁵And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh.

³⁶Jehojakim mal dvadsaťpäť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedonásť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Zebúda, dcéra Pedaiášova, z Rúmy.

³⁶A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,

³⁷A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robili jeho otcovia.

³⁷and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
