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 the angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:

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

²and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this?

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

³Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

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

⁴And it came to pass, when the angel of Jehovah spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

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

⁵And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Jehovah.

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

⁶Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto 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 served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel.

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

⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.

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

⁹And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of 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 were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, that knew not Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.

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

¹¹And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served 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 they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger.

¹³A opustiac Hospodina slúžili Bálovi a Astartám.

¹³And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the 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 was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer 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.

¹⁵Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed.

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

¹⁶And Jehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that despoiled them.

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 yet they hearkened not unto their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; [but] they did not 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 them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Jehovah because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

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.

¹⁹But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn 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 was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

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

²¹I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;

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

²²that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

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

²³So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
