¹Vyučujúci. Azafov. Môj ľude, nože počuj môj zákon! Nakloňte svoje ucho k rečiam mojich úst.

¹Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

²Otvorím svoje ústa v podobenstve; budem rozprávať záhadné veci, tajné od pradávna.

²I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

³To, čo sme počuli a čo sme poznali, a čo nám naši otcovia rozprávali.

³Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

⁴Nezatajíme toho pred ich synmi rozprávajúc budúcemu pokoleniu chvály Hospodinove, jeho silu a jeho divy, ktoré činil.

⁴We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

⁵Postavil svedoctvo v Jakobovi a zákon položil v Izraelovi, o ktorých veciach prikázal našim otcom, aby ich oznámili svojim synom,

⁵For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

⁶aby poznali budúce pokolenie, synovia, ktorí sa narodia, aby aj tí povstali a rozprávali to svojim synom,

⁶that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,

⁷aby složili svoju nádej v Bohu a nezabudli na skutky silného Boha, ale aby ostríhali jeho prikázania,

⁷that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,

⁸a aby neboli jako ich otcovia, pokolenie odpadlícke a spurné, pokolenie, ktoré neupravilo svojho srdca poslúchať Hospodina a ktorého duch nebol verný voči silnému Bohu.

⁸and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

⁹Synovia Efraimovi, ozbrojenci, strelci z luku, obrátili sa zpät v deň boja.

⁹The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

¹⁰Nezachovali smluvy Božej a vzpečovali sa chodiť v jeho zákone.

¹⁰They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.

¹¹Zabudli na jeho činy a na jeho divy, ktoré im ukázal.

¹¹They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.

¹²Pred ich otcami činil zázraky, v Egyptskej zemi, na poli Coana.

¹²He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹³Rozdelil more a previedol ich a postavil vody jako nejakú hromadu.

¹³He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

¹⁴Viedol ich vodne v oblaku a každej noci vo svetle ohňa.

¹⁴In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.

¹⁵Roztrhol skaly na púšti a napájal ich hojne jako z nejakých hlbín.

¹⁵He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

¹⁶Vyviedol potoky zo skaly a učinil to, aby tiekly vody jako rieky.

¹⁶He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷A zase len hrešili proti nemu, aby popudzovali Najvyššieho na vypráhlej púšti.

¹⁷Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸A pokúšali silného Boha vo svojom srdci žiadajúc pokrm, po chuti svojej duše;

¹⁸They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹Hovorili proti Bohu a vraveli: Či bude môcť silný Bôh pripraviť stôl na púšti?

¹⁹Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Hľa, uderil skalu, a tiekly vody, a lialy sa potoky. - Či bude môcť dať i chlieb? Či vystanoví svojmu ľudu mäso?

²⁰Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?”

²¹Preto počujúc to Hospodin rozhneval sa, a oheň sa zapálil proti Jakobovi, a tiež i hnev vystúpil proti Izraelovi;

²¹Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²²pretože neverili Bohu a nenadejali sa na jeho spasenie,

²²because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

²³hoci bol rozkázal oblakom shora a otvoril dvere nebies

²³Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²⁴a dal, aby na nich pršala manna, aby jedli, a dal im nebeské zbožie.

²⁴He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁵Chlieb mocných jedol obyčajný človek; poslal im potravy do sýtosti.

²⁵Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁶Dal, aby vial východný vietor na nebi, a svojou mocou hnal poludniak

²⁶He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷a dal to, aby na nich pršalo mäso jako prach a okrýdlení vtáci jako piesok morí.

²⁷He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁸Spustil ich doprostred jeho tábora, všade vôkol jeho príbytkov.

²⁸He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹A tak jedli a nadmier sa nasýtili, a doniesol im, čo si žiadali.

²⁹So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

³⁰Ale ešte sa neboli utiahli od ukájania svojej žiadosti, a kým ešte bol ich pokrm v ich ústach,

³⁰They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹vystúpil hnev Boží proti nim a pobil mnohých zpomedzi ich tučných a vybraných Izraelových zohnul k zemi.

³¹when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³²Pri tom pri všetkom ešte vždy hrešili a neverili jeho divom.

³²For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

³³A tak ukončieval ich dni v márnosti a ich roky v desivom strachu.

³³Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

³⁴A zase, keď ich pobíjal, a hľadali ho a navrátiac sa hľadali silného Boha skoro za svitu

³⁴When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.

³⁵a keď sa rozpomínali, že Bôh je ich skalou a silný Bôh najvyšší ich vykupiteľom,

³⁵They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.

³⁶hoci ho klamali svojimi ústy a luhali mu svojím jazykom,

³⁶But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.

³⁷a ich srdce nebolo úprimné pred ním, ani neboli verní v jeho smluve,

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.

³⁸on súc milosrdný odpúšťal ich neprávosti a nezahubil a mnoho ráz odvrátil svoj hnev a nezobudil všetkej svojej prchlivosti.

³⁸But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

³⁹Pamätal, že sú telo, vietor, ktorý ta ide a nevráti sa.

³⁹He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.

⁴⁰Koľko ráz ho dráždili na púšti, pôsobili mu bolesť na pustine!

⁴⁰How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!

⁴¹A znova a znova pokúšali silného Boha a Svätému Izraelovmu vymeriavali hranice.

⁴¹They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

⁴²Nepamätali na jeho ruku, na deň, ktorého ich vyslobodil zo súženia,

⁴²They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

⁴³ako činil v Egypte svoje znamenia a svoje čudesá na poli Coana.

⁴³how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,

⁴⁴A obrátil ich rieky na krv aj potoky, takže nemohli piť.

⁴⁴he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

⁴⁵Poslal na nich smesicu, žižaly, ktorá ich žrala, a žaby, ktoré ich hubily.

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶A dal ich úrodu chrústom a ich únavnú prácu koníkom.

⁴⁶He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

⁴⁷Zbil ich vinič hrádom a ich sykomory ľadom.

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.

⁴⁸Vydal ich hovädá hrádu na pospas a ich dobytok bleskom hromu.

⁴⁸He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹Poslal na nich páľu svojeho hnevu, prchlivosť, zúrivosť a súženie pustiac na nich zlých anjelov.

⁴⁹He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.

⁵⁰Spravil svojemu hnevu cestu, neušetril ich duše od smrti a ich statok vydal napospas moru.

⁵⁰He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹A pobil všetko prvorodené v Egypte, prvotiny sily v stánoch Chámových.

⁵¹and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵²A dal to, aby sa rušal jeho ľud ako stádo oviec, a viedol ich ako stádo po púšti.

⁵²But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³Vodili ich v bezpečnosti, a nestrachovali sa, ale ich nepriateľov pokrylo more.

⁵³He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴A tak ich doviedol k hranici svojej svätosti, k tomu vrchu, ktorý si dobyla jeho pravica.

⁵⁴He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

⁵⁵Vyhnal národy zpred ich tvári a dajúc losovať vymeral im dedičstvo povrazom a dal, aby v ich stánoch bývaly pokolenia Izraelove.

⁵⁵He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶Ale oni pokúšali a dráždili Boha, Najvyššieho, a neostríhali jeho svedoctiev,

⁵⁶Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies;

⁵⁷ale sa obrátili zpät a robili neverne jako ich otcovia; zvrhli sa jako klamné lučište.

⁵⁷but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸A popudzovali ho svojimi výšinami a svojimi rytinami ho roznecovali k žiarlivosti.

⁵⁸For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

⁵⁹Počul to Bôh a rozhneval sa a veľmi si zošklivil Izraela.

⁵⁹When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel;

⁶⁰A opustil príbytok v Síle zavrhnúc ho, stán, v ktorom býval medzi ľuďmi.

⁶⁰So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹A ta dal svoju silu do zajatia a svoju okrasu do ruky protivníka.

⁶¹and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.

⁶²Vydal svoj ľud pod meč a rozhneval sa na svoje dedičstvo.

⁶²He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.

⁶³Jeho mládencov požral oheň, a jeho panny neboly chválené.

⁶³Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

⁶⁴Jeho kňazi padli od meča, a jeho vdovy neplakaly.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.

⁶⁵Potom sa prebudil Pán ako zo sna, jako hrdina, ktorý veselo vykrikuje od vína,

⁶⁵Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.

⁶⁶a zbil svojich protivníkov v tyle; dal im za údel večnú potupu.

⁶⁶He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.

⁶⁷Opovrhol stánom Jozefovým a nevyvolil pokolenia Efraimovho,

⁶⁷Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,

⁶⁸ale vyvolil pokolenie Júdovo, vrch Sion, ktorý miluje.

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.

⁶⁹A vystavil svoju svätyňu jako hrdé miesta vysoké, jako zem, ktorú založil tak, aby trvala na veky.

⁶⁹He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

⁷⁰A vyvolil si Dávida, svojho služobníka, a vzal ho od ovčích chlievov,

⁷⁰He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

⁷¹odtiaľ ako chodil za brezými ovcami, a zaviedol ho, aby pásol Jakoba, jeho ľud, a Izraela, jeho dedičstvo.

⁷¹from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.

⁷²A pásol ich v celej úprimnosti svojho srdca a vodil ich so zvláštnou opatrnosťou svojich rúk.

⁷²So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
