¹V sedemnástom roku Pekacha, syna Remaliášovho, začal kraľovať Achaz, syn Jotáma, judského kráľa.

¹In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

²Achaz mal dvadsať rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval šestnásť rokov v Jeruzaleme. Ale nerobil toho, čo bolo spravedlivé v očiach Hospodina, jeho Boha, jako robil Dávid, jeho otec,

²Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn’t do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, like David his father.

³lež chodil po ceste kráľov Izraelových, ba ešte i svojho syna dal previesť cez oheň podľa ohavností pohanských národov, ktoré vyhnal Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

³But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel.

⁴A obetoval a kadil na výšinách a na brehoch a pod každým stromom zeleným.

⁴He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

⁵Vtedy vyšiel Rezín, sýrsky kráľ, a Pekach, syn Remaliášov, izraelský kráľ, hore do Jeruzalema do boja a obľahli Achaza, ale ho nemohli premôcť.

⁵Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

⁶V tom čase prinavrátil Rezín, sýrsky kráľ, Sýrii Elat a vyhnal Židov z Elóta, a Edomiti prišli do Elata a bývali tam a bývajú až do tohoto dňa.

⁶At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there, to this day.

⁷A Achaz poslal poslov k Tiglat-pilezerovi, assýrskemu kráľovi, a odkázal mu: Som tvojím služobníkom a tvojím synom. Prijdi hore a zachráň ma z ruky sýrskeho kráľa a z ruky izraelského kráľa, ktorí povstali proti mne.

⁷So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.”

⁸A Achaz pobral striebro i zlato, ktoré sa našlo v dome Hospodinovom a v pokladoch domu kráľovho, a poslal assýrskemu kráľovi dar.

⁸Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

⁹A assýrsky kráľ ho poslúchol. A assýrsky kráľ prijdúc hore proti Damašku zaujal ho a jeho obyvateľov zaviedol do Kíra a Rezína zabil.

⁹The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.

¹⁰A kráľ Achaz išiel vústrety Tiglat-pilezerovi, assýrskemu kráľovi, do Damašku a videl oltár, ktorý bol v Damašku. Vtedy poslal kráľ Achaz ku kňazovi Uriášovi podobu oltára a jeho vzor podľa všetkého toho, jako bol spravený.

¹⁰King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.

¹¹A kňaz Uriáš vystavil oltár podľa všetkého toho, čo poslal kráľ Achaz z Damašku, tak urobil kňaz Uriáš, kým neprišiel kráľ Achaz z Damašku.

¹¹Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.

¹²Potom prišiel kráľ z Damašku a videl oltár, a kráľ pristúpiac postavil sa nad oltár a obetoval na ňom.

¹²When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it.

¹³A pálil svoju zápalnú obeť a svoju obilnú obeť, lial svoju liatu obeť a kropil krv svojich pokojných obetí na oltár.

¹³He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar.

¹⁴A medený oltár, ktorý bol pred Hospodinom, preniesol z prednej strany domu, zpomedzi oltára a zpomedzi domu Hospodinovho, a postavil ho po boku oltára na sever.

¹⁴The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of Yahweh, and put it on the north side of his altar.

¹⁵A kráľ Achaz prikázal kňazovi Uriášovi povediac: Na veľkom oltári obetuj zápalnú obeť rannú a obilnú obeť večernú a zápalnú obeť kráľovu a jeho obilnú obeť ako aj zápalnú obeť všetkého ľudu zeme a ich obilnú obeť a ich liate obeti a všetku krv zápalnej obeti a všetku krv bitnej obeti naň budeš kropiť, ale medený oltár bude mne, dopytovať sa Boha.

¹⁵King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king’s burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.”

¹⁶A kráľ Uriáš urobil všetko tak, ako prikázal kráľ Achaz.

¹⁶Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

¹⁷A kráľ Achaz osekal doštice podstavcov a odstránil s nich s vrchu umyvák a složil more s medených volov, ktoré boly pod ním, a položil ho na kamennú dlažbu.

¹⁷King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.

¹⁸I strešinu na sobotu, ktorú boli postavili v dome, i kráľovo vchodište zvonku preložil do domu Hospodinovho zo strachu pred assýrskym kráľom.

¹⁸The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry outside, turned he to the house of Yahweh, because of the king of Assyria.

¹⁹A ostatné deje Achazove, to, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

¹⁹Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁰A tak ľahol Achaz a ležal so svojimi otcami a bol pochovaný so svojimi otcami v meste Dávidovom, a kraľoval Ezechiáš, jeho syn, miesto neho.

²⁰Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
