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, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, for 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 evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel that had been 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 tendered him presents.

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.

⁴But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and sent up no present to the king of Assyria as [he had done] from year to year. And 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.

⁵And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against 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 into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by 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 so it was, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who had 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 they walked in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had 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 against Jehovah their God things that were not right; and they built them high places in all their cities, from the watchmen's tower 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 columns and Asherahs on 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 burned incense on all the high places, as did the nations that Jehovah had carried away from 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, as to which Jehovah had said to 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.

¹³And Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through my servants the prophets.

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

¹⁴But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe 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 which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had 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, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of the heavens, 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 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 remained 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 had 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 Israel had rent [the kingdom] from the house of David; and they had made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam violently turned 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 did not depart 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 had removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets; and 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 [people] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and made them dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.

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; and 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.

²⁶And they spoke to the king of Assyria saying, The nations that thou hast removed and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria know not the manner of the god of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner 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.

²⁷And the king of Assyria commanded saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye have brought away from thence; and let them go and abide there, and let him teach them the manner 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.

²⁸Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and abode in Bethel, 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.

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

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

³⁰And the people of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the people of Cuth made Nergal, and the people 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 burned 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 to themselves from all classes of them priests of the high places, who offered [sacrifices] 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, whence 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.

³⁴To this day they do after their former customs: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes or after their ordinances, nor after the law and commandment that Jehovah commanded the sons 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.

³⁵And Jehovah had made a covenant with them, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down 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 alone, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched-out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do 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 ye shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you, neither shall ye fear other gods;

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

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

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

⁴⁰And they did not hearken, but did after their former customs.

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.

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