¹A obrátiac sa tiahli sme na púšť cestou smerom k Červenému moru, tak ako mi hovoril Hospodin, a obchádzali sme vrch Seir mnoho dní.

¹Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.

²A Hospodin mi riekol:

²Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

³Už ste sa dosť naobchádzali tohoto vrchu; obráťte sa na sever.

³“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

⁴A ľudu prikáž a povedz: Pojdete cez územie svojich bratov, synov Ezavových, ktorí bývajú na Seire. A hoci sa vás budú báť, veľmi sa vystríhajte!

⁴Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;

⁵Nedráždite ich, lebo vám nedám z ich zeme ani toľko, čo by zašľapil nohou, lebo vrch Seir som dal Ezavovi do dedičného majetku.

⁵don’t contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

⁶Pokrm si kúpite od nich za peniaze, a tak budete jesť, aj vody si kúpite od nich za peniaze, a budete piť.

⁶You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.’”

⁷Lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ťa požehnal v každej práci tvojich rúk; vie, že ideš touto veľkou púšťou. Toto už štyridsať rokov bol Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, s tebou; nemal si v ničom nedostatku.

⁷For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

⁸A keď sme prešli od svojich bratov, synov Ezavových, ktorí bývajú na Seire, s cesty na rovine, z Elatu a z Ecion-gábera, obrátili sme sa a prešli sme cestou Moábskej púšte.

⁸So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

⁹A Hospodin mi riekol: Nebudeš trápiť Moábov ani si nezačínaj s nimi púšťajúc sa do vojny, lebo ti nedám dedičstva z ich zeme, pretože som dal synom Lotovým Ár do dedičstva.

⁹Yahweh said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”

¹⁰Émovia bývali predtým v nej, v zemi Ára, veľký to ľud, mnohý a vysoký jako Enákovci.

¹⁰(The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:

¹¹Pravda aj oni boli považovaní za obrov ako Enákovci, a Moábovia ich pomenovali Emím.

¹¹these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

¹²A na Seire bývali predtým Chorovia, a synovia Ezavovi zaujali ich državie a vyhubili ich zpred svojej tvári a bývali na ich mieste, tak ako učinil Izrael zemi svojho vlastníctva, ktorú im dal Hospodin.

¹²The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.)

¹³A tak teraz vstaňte a prejdite potok Záred. Aj sme prešli potok Záred.

¹³“Now rise up, and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook Zered.

¹⁴A času, v ktorom sme išli z Kádeš-barnee, až sme prešli potok Záred, bolo tridsaťosem rokov, dokiaľ nevymrelo všetko to pokolenie, mužovia, súci do vojny, zprostred tábora, tak ako im prisahal Hospodin.

¹⁴The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them.

¹⁵Bola aj ruka Hospodinova proti nim, aby ich desila a tak vyhubila zprostred tábora, až i vymreli.

¹⁵Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

¹⁶A stalo sa, keď už boli vymreli zprostred ľudu všetci mužovia toho pokolenia, súci do boja,

¹⁶So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

¹⁷že mi hovoril Hospodin a riekol:

¹⁷that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

¹⁸Ty prejdeš dneská hranicu Moábovu, Ár,

¹⁸“You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:

¹⁹a priblížiš sa naproti synom Ammonovým; nebudeš ich trápiť ani si nezačínaj s nimi, lebo ti nedám vlastníctva zo zeme synov Ammonových, pretože som ju dal synom Lotovým za vlastníctvo.

¹⁹and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”

²⁰Aj tá bola považovaná za zem obrov; obrovia v nej bývali predtým, a Ammonovia ich nazvali Zamzummím.

²⁰(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

²¹Bol to veliký ľud, mnohý a vysoký jako Enákovci, ale Hospodin ich vyhubil zpred ich tvári, a tak zaujali ich državie a bývali na ich mieste,

²¹a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;

²²jako učinil synom Ezavovým, ktorí bývajú na Seire, keď zahladil Chorov zpred ich tvári, takže zaujali ich državie a bývajú na ich mieste až do dnešného dňa.

²²as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day:

²³A Avajov, ktorí bývali v dedinách až po Gazu, vyplienili Kaftorania, ktorí vyšli z Kaftora, a bývali na ich mieste.

²³and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)

²⁴Tedy vstaňte, rušajte sa a prejdite cez potok Arnon! Hľaďže, dal som do tvojej ruky Síchona, kráľa Chešbona, Amoreja, i jeho zem. Začni, zaujmi a vyzvúc ho pusti sa s ním do boja.

²⁴“Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

²⁵Tohoto dňa začnem dávať tvoj strach a tvoju bázeň na ľudí pod celým nebom. Tí, ktorí počujú zvesť o tebe, budú sa triasť a budú sa svíjať od strachu pred tebou.

²⁵This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.”

²⁶A poslal som poslov z púšte Kedemót k Síchonovi, kráľovi Chešbona, so slovami pokoja vzkazujúc:

²⁶I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

²⁷Nech, prosím, prejdem cez tvoju zem. Pojdem priamo cestou; neuhnem sa ani napravo ani naľavo.

²⁷“Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.

²⁸Pokrm mi predáš za peniaze, aby som jedol, i vody mi dáš za peniaze, aby som pil; len nech, prosím, prejdem peší;

²⁸You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,

²⁹učiň mi, jako mi učinili synovia Ezavovi, ktorí bývajú na Seire, a Moábi, ktorí bývajú v Áre, dokiaľ neprejdem cez Jordán do zeme, ktorú nám dáva Hospodin, náš Bôh.

²⁹as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh our God gives us.”

³⁰Ale Síchon, kráľ Chešbona, nechcel dať, aby sme prešli jeho územím, lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, zatvrdil jeho ducha a posmelil jeho srdce, aby ho vydal do tvojej ruky, jako je tomu dnes.

³⁰But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.

³¹A Hospodin mi riekol: Hľaď, začal som dávať pred tebou Síchona a jeho zem. Začni, zaujmi, aby si dedične zaujal jeho zem.

³¹Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”

³²Vtedy vyšiel Síchon proti nám, on i všetok jeho ľud, do boja do Johsy.

³²Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

³³A Hospodin, náš Bôh, ho vydal pred nami, a porazili sme ho i jeho synov i všetok jeho ľud

³³Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

³⁴a zaujali sme všetky jeho mestá toho času a zahladili sme, zarečené, všetky tie mestá, mužov, ženy i deti, takže sme neponechali nikoho nažive.

³⁴We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:

³⁵Len dobytok sme si pobrali za plen a korisť miest, ktoré sme zaujali.

³⁵only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.

³⁶Od Aroera, ktoré je na brehu potoka Arnona, a od mesta, ktoré je v tej doline, až po Gileád nebolo mesta, ktoré by nám bolo bývalo privysoké; všetky dal Hospodin, nás Bôh, pred nami.

³⁶From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; Yahweh our God delivered up all before us:

³⁷Len k zemi synov Ammonových si sa nepriblížil, k niktorému kraju potoka Jabbka ani k mestám toho pohoria ani k niktorému miestu, ktorému blížiť sa zapovedal Hospodin, náš Bôh.

³⁷only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God forbade us.
