¹Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.

¹Amaziáš kraľoval, keď mal dvadsaťpäť rokov, a kraľoval dvadsaťdeväť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Jehoaddána z Jeruzalema.

²He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a perfect heart.

²Robil to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových, lenže nie celým srdcom.

³Now it happened, when the kingdom was established to him, that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father.

³A stalo sa, keď už bolo kráľovstvo pevné pri ňom, že pobil svojich služobníkov, ktorí zabili kráľa, jeho otca.

⁴But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”

⁴Ale ich synov nepobil, lebo urobil tak, ako je napísané v zákone, v knihe Mojžišovej, kde prikázal Hospodin povediac: Nezomrú otcovia za synov, ani synovia nezomrú za otcov, ale každý zomrie za svoj vlastný hriech.

⁵Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, who could handle spear and shield.

⁵Potom shromaždil Amaziáš Júdu a postavil z nich, podľa domu otcov, za veliteľov nad tisícami a za veliteľov nad stami po celom Judsku a Benjaminsku a spočítal ich vo veku od dvadsiatich rokov a vyše a našiel ich tristo tisíc vybraných mužov, ktorí boli súci vyjsť do vojny a znali narábať ťažkou kopijou a veľkým štítom.

⁶He hired also one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

⁶A z Izraela najal za mzdu sto tisíc udatných mužov za sto hrivien striebra.

⁷A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you; for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.

⁷Ale prišiel k nemu nejaký muž Boží a povedal: Ó, kráľu, nech nejde s tebou vojsko Izraelovo, lebo Hospodin nie je s Izraelom, s niktorým zo synov Efraimových.

⁸But if you will go, take action, be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”

⁸Ale však len iď ty, konaj, buď silný do boja: ináče Bôh učiní to, aby si klesol pred nepriateľom, pretože je sila v Bohu i pomôcť i poraziť.

⁹Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than this.”

⁹Vtedy povedal Amaziáš mužovi Božiemu: A čo urobiť so sto hrivnami, ktoré som dal vojsku Izraelovmu? Na to riekol muž Boží: Hospodin má toľko, že ti môže dať o mnoho viac ako to.

¹⁰Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.

¹⁰A tak ich oddelil Amaziáš, totiž vojsko, ktoré bolo prišlo k nemu z Efraima, aby odišli na svoje miesto. Preto sa veľmi rozhnevali na Júdu a navrátili sa na svoje miesto, rozpálení hnevom.

¹¹Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.

¹¹A Amaziáš sa vzmužil a pojmúc svoj ľud odišiel do Soľnej doliny a porazil synov Seira, desať tisíc mužov.

¹²The children of Judah carry away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.

¹²A desať tisíc zajali synovia Júdovi živých a vyviedli ich na vrch skaly a pohádzali ich s vrchu tej skaly, takže sa všetci porozrážali.

¹³But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much spoil.

¹³Ale mužovia vojska, ktoré poslal Amaziáš zpät, aby neišlo s ním do boja, vtrhli do miest Júdových do Samárie až po Bét-choron a pobili z nich tri tisíce a nalúpili mnoho lúpeže.

¹⁴Now it happened, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense to them.

¹⁴A stalo sa, keď prišiel Amaziáš od porážky Edomejcov, že dopravil bohov synov Seira a postavil ich sebe za bohov a klaňal sa pred nimi a kadil im.

¹⁵Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”

¹⁵Preto sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na Amaziáša a poslal k nemu proroka, ktorý mu povedal: Prečo si hľadal bohov ľudu, ktorí nevytrhli svojho ľudu z tvojej ruky?

¹⁶It happened, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.”

¹⁶A stalo sa, keď mu to hovoril, že mu povedal kráľ: Či sme ťa ustanovili za radcu kráľovi? Nože prestaň, lebo načo ťa majú nabiť? A tak prestal prorok, avšak povedal: Teraz viem, že Bôh usúdil zahladiť ťa, keď si to urobil a neposlúchol si mojej rady.

¹⁷Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us look one another in the face.”

¹⁷Potom sa poradil Amaziáš, judský kráľ, a poslal poslov k Joasovi, synovi Jehoachaza, syna Jehu-va, izraelskému kráľovi, povediac: Poď, pozrime si do tvári!

¹⁸Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife; then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.

¹⁸A Joas, izraelský kráľ, poslal k Amaziášovi, judskému kráľovi, povedať: Bodliak, ktorý bol na Libanone, poslal výzvu k cedre, ktorá je na Libanone, povediac: Daj svoju dcéru môjmu synovi za ženu! Ale išla tade poľná zver, ktorá žije na Libanone, a zašliapala bodliak.

¹⁹You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?’”

¹⁹Hovoríš: hľa, porazil si Edoma. Preto ťa pozdvihlo tvoje srdce, aby si sa honosil. Seď teraz vo svojom dome. Prečo sa pletieš do zlého, aby si padol i ty i Júda s tebou?

²⁰But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.

²⁰Ale Amaziáš neposlúchol; lebo to bolo od Boha, aby ich vydal do ruky tamtých, pretože hľadali bohov Edomových.

²¹So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

²¹A tak odišiel hore Joas, izraelský kráľ, a pozreli si do tvári, on i Amaziáš, judský kráľ, v Bét-šemeši, ktoré patrí Júdovi.

²²Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

²²A Júda bol porazený pred Izraelom, a utekali každý do svojich stánov.

²³Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

²³A Amaziáša, judského kráľa, syna Joasa, syna Jehoachazovho, chytil Joas, izraelský kráľ, v Bét-šemeši a doviedol ho do Jeruzalema a sboril z jeruzalemského múru od brány Efraimovej až po bránu Uhlu, na štyristo lakťov.

²⁴He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

²⁴A pobral všetko zlato a striebro i všetky nádoby, ktoré sa našli v dome Božom u Obéd-edoma, jako aj poklady domu kráľovho i synov zálohy a navrátil sa do Samárie.

²⁵Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

²⁵A Amaziáš, syn Joasov, judský kráľ, žil ešte po smrti Joasa, syna Jehoachazovho, izraelského kráľa, pätnásť rokov.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

²⁶A ostatné deje Amaziášove, prvé i posledné, či hľa, nie sú napísané v knihe kráľov Júdových a Izraelových?

²⁷Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.

²⁷A od toho času, jako sa odvrátil Amaziáš, aby nenasledoval Hospodina, spikli sa proti nemu v Jeruzaleme. A keď utiekol do Lachiša, poslali za ním do Lachiša a zabili ho tam.

²⁸They brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

²⁸A odtiaľ ho odniesli na koňoch a pochovali ho s jeho otcami v meste Júdovom.
