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 three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] 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 did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

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 was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.

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

⁴And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them.

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

⁵(And Jehovah gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as beforetime.

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.

⁶Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also 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 save fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.

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

⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in 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 slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned 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 began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] 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 did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein.

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?

¹²Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in 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 slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was 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!

¹⁴Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over him, and said, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!

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

¹⁵And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows; and he took 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 said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow; and he put his hand [upon it]. And Elisha laid his hands upon the king's hands.

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 he said, Open the window eastward; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot; and he shot. And he said, Jehovah's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.

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

¹⁸And he said, Take the arrows; and he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground; and he smote thrice, and stayed.

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 was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times: then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it, whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.

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

²⁰And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded 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 came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

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

²²And Hazael king of Syria 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.

²³But Jehovah was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

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

²⁴And Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned 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 the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash smite him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
