¹V dvanástom roku Achaza, judského kráľa, začal kraľovať Hozea, syn Élu, v Samárii nad Izraelom a kraľoval deväť rokov.

¹In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, [and reigned] nine years.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, len že nie priam tak ako kráľovia Izraelovi, ktorí boli pred ním.

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

³Proti nemu vyšiel hore Salmanazar, assýrsky kráľ, a Hozea sa mu stal sluhom a dával mu dar.

³Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.

⁴Ale assýrsky kráľ našiel na Hozeovi zradu, pretože poslal poslov k Só-vovi, egyptskému kráľovi, a neposlal hore assýrskemu kráľovi obvyklého daru jako dovtedy s roka na rok. Preto ho obľahol assýrsky kráľ, poviazal ho a dal do žalára.

⁴And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

⁵A assýrsky kráľ vyšiel hore a prešiel po celej zemi a keď prišiel hore do Samárie, obľahol ju a obliehal tri roky.

⁵Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

⁶V deviatom roku Hozeu zaujal assýrsky kráľ Samáriu a prestehoval Izraela do Assýrie a osadil ich v Chelachu a v Chábore pri rieke Gozane a v médskych mestách.

⁶In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

⁷A stalo sa, keď len hrešili synovia Izraelovi proti Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, ktorý ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme zpod ruky faraona, egyptského kráľa, a báli sa iných bohov

⁷And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

⁸a chodili v ustanoveniach pohanov, ktorých vyhnal Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových, a v ustanoveniach kráľov Izraelových, ktorých narobili,

⁸and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.

⁹a synovia Izraelovi ukrývali veci, ktoré neboly spravedlivé, proti Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, a nastaväli si výšin vo všetkých svojich mestách, od veže strážnych až po ohradené mesto,

⁹And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;

¹⁰a nastaväli si modlárskych stĺpov a hájov na každom vŕšku, jako-tak vysokom, a pod každým stromom zeleným

¹⁰and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree;

¹¹a kadili tam na všetkých výšinách ako pohania, ktorých vypratal Hospodin zpred ich tvári; a robili zlé veci, aby popudzovali Hospodina,

¹¹and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;

¹²a slúžili ukydaným bohom, o ktorých im povedal Hospodin: Nerobte toho!

¹²and they served idols, whereof Jehovah had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

¹³A Hospodin osvedčoval proti Izraelovi i proti Júdovi skrze všetkých svojich prorokov, skrze každého vidiaceho a hovoril: Navráťte sa zo svojich zlých ciest a ostríhajte moje prikázania, moje ustanovenia, podľa celého zákona, ktorý som prikázal vašim otcom a ktorý som poslal k vám skrze svojich služobníkov prorokov.

¹³Yet Jehovah testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

¹⁴Avšak neposlúchli, ale zatvrdili svoju šiju, ako svoju šiju ich otcovia, ktorí neverili v Hospodina, svojho Boha,

¹⁴Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in Jehovah their God.

¹⁵a zavrhli jeho ustanovenia a jeho smluvu, ktorú učinil s ich otcami, i jeho svedoctvá, ktorými svedčil proti nim, a odišli za márnosťou a stali sa márnymi a nasledovali pohanov, ktorí boli vôkol nich, o ktorých im prikázal Hospodin, aby nerobili jako oni.

¹⁵And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified unto them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and [went] after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.

¹⁶A opustiac všetky prikázania Hospodina, svojho Boha, spravili si liate modly, dvoje teliat, a spravili si háj a klaňali sa všetkému vojsku nebeskému a slúžili Bálovi

¹⁶And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

¹⁷a vodili svojich synov a svoje dcéry cez oheň a zaoberali sa veštením a planetárili a tak sa predali, aby robili to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, aby ho popudzovali.

¹⁷And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁸Preto sa veľmi rozhneval Hospodin na Izraela a odstránil ich zpred svojej tvári; nezostalo iba samo pokolenie Júdovo.

¹⁸Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

¹⁹Ale ani Júda neostríhal prikázaní Hospodina, svojho Boha, lež aj oni chodili v ustanoveniach synov Izraelových, ktorých narobili.

¹⁹Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

²⁰Preto opovrhnul Hospodin všetkým semenom Izraelovým a trápil ich a vydal ich do ruky lupičov tak, až ich odvrhnul od svojej tvári,

²⁰And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

²¹lebo odtrhol Izraela od domu Dávidovho, a urobil kráľom Jeroboáma, syna Nebátovho; a Jeroboám odvrátil preč Izraela, aby nenasledoval Hospodina, a spôsobil to, aby hrešil veľkým hriechom.

²¹For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.

²²A tak chodili synovia Izraelovi vo všetkých hriechoch Jeroboámových, ktoré páchal; neodstúpili od toho,

²²And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

²³dokiaľ neodstránil Hospodin Izraela zpred svojej tvári, jako hovoril skrze všetkých svojich služobníkov prorokov, a preto sa musel prestehovať Izrael preč so svojej zeme do Assýrie, kde je až do tohoto dňa.

²³until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spake by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

²⁴A assýrsky kráľ doviedol národy z Babylona a z Kúty a z Avvy a z Chamatu a zo Sefarvajima a osídlil ich v mestách Samárie miesto synov Izraelových, a zaujali v dedičstvo Samáriu a bývajú v jej mestách.

²⁴And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

²⁵A bolo na počiatku ich bývania tam, že sa nebáli Hospodina, a preto poslal Hospodin na nich ľvov, ktorí ich dávili.

²⁵And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not Jehovah: therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.

²⁶Preto povedali assýrskemu kráľovi a riekli: Národy, ktoré si prestehoval a osadil v mestách Samárie, neznajú obyčaje Boha zeme, a preto poslal na nich ľvov, a hľa, usmrcujú ich, pretože neznajú obyčaje Boha zeme.

²⁶Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the law of the god of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the law of the god of the land.

²⁷Vtedy rozkázal assýrsky kráľ a riekol: Zaveďte ta jedného z kňazov, ktorých ste odstehovali ztade, a nech idú a bývajú tam, a nech ich učí obyčaji Boha zeme.

²⁷Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.

²⁸A tak prišiel jeden z kňazov, ktorých boli odstehovali zo Samárie, a býval v Bét-ele a učil ich, ako sa majú báť Hospodina.

²⁸So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.

²⁹Ale pri tom robili si, každý národ svojich vlastných bohov a postavili v dome výšin, ktorých narobili obyvatelia Samárie, každý národ vo svojich vlastných mestách, v ktorých bývali.

²⁹Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

³⁰Babylonskí mužovia si narobili Sukkót-benót; kútski mužovia si spravili Nergala; chamatskí mužovia si spravili Ašímu,

³⁰And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

³¹Avvänia spravili Nibchaza a Tartáka, a Sefarvajimänia pálili svojich synov ohňom, Adrammelechovi a Anammelechovi, bohom Sefarvajimänov.

³¹and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

³²A pritom sa báli Hospodina a narobili si kňazov výšin z najposlednejších zpomedzi seba, ktorí obetovali za nich v dome výšin.

³²So they feared Jehovah, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

³³A Hospodina sa báli a svojim bohom slúžili podľa obyčaje pohanských národov tam, odkiaľ ich odstehovali.

³³They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

³⁴Až do tohoto dňa robia podľa drievnych obyčají, neboja sa Hospodina ani nečinia podľa svojich ustanovení ani podľa svojho súdu ani podľa zákona ani podľa prikázania, ktoré prikázal Hospodin synom Jakobovým, ktorému dal meno Izrael.

³⁴Unto this day they do after the former manner: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Jehovah commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

³⁵A Hospodin učinil s nimi smluvu a prikázal im povediac: Nebudete sa báť iných bohov ani sa im nebudete klaňať ani im nebudete slúžiť ani im nebudete obetovať.

³⁵with whom Jehovah had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

³⁶Ale iba Hospodina, ktorý vás vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme vo veľkej sile a vystretým ramenom, toho sa budete báť a jemu sa budete klaňať a jemu budete obetovať.

³⁶but Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrifice:

³⁷A ustanovenia a súdy a zákon a prikázania, ktoré vám napísal, budete ostríhať činiac to, po všetky dni a nebudete sa báť iných bohov.

³⁷and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods:

³⁸A na smluvu, ktorú som učinil s vami, nezabudnete ani sa nebudete báť iných bohov.

³⁸and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods:

³⁹Ale iba Hospodina, svojho Boha, sa budete báť, a on vás vytrhne z ruky všetkých vašich nepriateľov.

³⁹but Jehovah your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

⁴⁰Ale neposlúchli, a robili a robia podľa drievnej svojej obyčaje.

⁴⁰Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

⁴¹A tak tedy sa bály tie národy Hospodina a slúžily svojim rytinám aj ich synovia i synovia ich synov; ako robili ich otcovia, tak robia aj oni až do tohoto dňa.

⁴¹So these nations feared Jehovah, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
