¹A vyšiel anjel, posol Hospodinov z Gilgala hore do Bochíma a riekol: Vyviedol som vás hore z Egypta a doviedol som vás do zeme, o ktorej som prisahal sľúbiac ju vašim otcom, a riekol som: Nezruším svojej smluvy s vami na veky.

¹And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,

²Ale ani vy neučiníte smluvy s obyvateľmi tejto zeme, ich oltáre rozboríte. No, neposlúchli ste môjho hlasu; čo ste to urobili?

²and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what [is] this ye have done?

³A preto som tiež povedal: Nezaženiem ich zpred vašej tvári, a budú vám tŕňami do bokov, a ich bohovia vám budú osídlom.

³And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.`

⁴A stalo sa, keď hovoril anjel Hospodinov tieto slová všetkým synom Izraelovým, že ľudia pozdvihli svoj hlas a plakali.

⁴And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,

⁵A nazvali meno toho miesta Bochím. A obetovali tam Hospodinovi bitné obeti.

⁵and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.

⁶A tedy Jozua prepustil ľud, a synovia Izraelovi išli každý do svojho dedičstva zaujať zem dedičstva.

⁶And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;

⁷A ľud slúžil Hospodinovi po všetky dni Jozuove a po všetky dni starších, ktorí prežili Jozuu, ktorí videli všetky tie veľké skutky Hospodinove, ktoré činil Izraelovi.

⁷and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.

⁸A keď zomrel Jozua, syn Núna, služobník Hospodinov, majúc sto desať rokov,

⁸And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,

⁹pochovali ho na území jeho dedičstva, v Timnat-cherese, na vrchu Efraimovom, od severa vrchu Gáš.

⁹and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;

¹⁰I celé to pokolenie bolo pripojené ku svojim otcom, a povstalo iné pokolenie po ňom, potomci, ktorí neznali Hospodina ani skutkov, ktoré učinil Izraelovi.

¹⁰and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.

¹¹A synovia Izraelovi činili to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, a slúžili Bálom.

¹¹And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,

¹²A tak opustili Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov, ktorý ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme, a odišli za inými bohmi, za bohmi z bohov národov, ktoré boly vôkol nich, a klaňali sa im a tak popudzovali Hospodina.

¹²and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,

¹³A opustiac Hospodina slúžili Bálovi a Astartám.

¹³yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.

¹⁴Vtedy sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela a vydal ich do ruky lupičov, ktorí ich olupovali, a predal ich do ruky ich nepriateľov, ktorí boli naokolo, takže nemohli viacej obstáť pred svojimi nepriateľmi.

¹⁴And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;

¹⁵Kamkoľvek vyšli, všade bola ruka Hospodinova proti nim na zlé, tak, ako hovoril Hospodin a jako im prisahal Hospodin, a bolo im veľmi úzko.

¹⁵in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed — greatly.

¹⁶A Hospodin im vzbudzoval sudcov, ktorí ich zachraňovali vyslobodzujúc ich z ruky tých, ktorí ich olupovali.

¹⁶And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;

¹⁷Ale nepočúvali ani na svojich sudcov, lebo smilnili odchádzaním za inými bohmi a klaňali sa im. Rýchle uhli s cesty, po ktorej išli ich otcovia poslúchajúc prikázania Hospodinove. Nerobili tak.

¹⁷and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah — they have not done so.

¹⁸A keď im vzbudzoval Hospodin sudcov, Hospodin bol so sudcom a zachránil ich z ruky ich nepriateľov, a bolo tak po všetky dni toho sudcu, lebo Hospodin želel počujúc ich vzdychanie pre ich utlačovateľov a ich honičov.

¹⁸And when Jehovah raised up to them judges — then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.

¹⁹A stávalo sa, keď zomrel taký sudca, že sa znova porušili a robili horšie ako ich otcovia idúc za inými bohmi, aby im slúžili a aby sa im klaňali. Neupustili od svojich skutkov a od svojej cesty tvrdohlavej.

¹⁹And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge — they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.

²⁰Preto sa aj zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela, a riekol: Pretože tento národ stále prestupuje moju smluvu, ktorú som prikázal ich otcom a nepočúvajú na môj hlas,

²⁰And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, `Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice —

²¹ani ja nevyženiem viacej zpred ich tvári nikoho z národov, ktoré zanechal Jozua, keď zomrel,

²¹I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,

²²nato, aby som nimi zkúšal Izraela, či budú ostríhať cestu prikázaní Hospodinových chodiac v nich, ako ostríhali ich otcovia, a či nebudú.

²²in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.`

²³A Hospodin ponechal tie národy a nevyhnal ich rýchle ani ich nedal do ruky Jozuu.

²³And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
