¹Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

¹A Joziáš slávil Hospodinovi Veľkú noc v Jeruzaleme. A zabili veľkonočného baránka štrnásteho dňa prvého mesiaca.

²He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh.

²A postaviac kňazov k ich povinnostiam posilnil ich pre službu domu Hospodinovho.

³He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God, and his people Israel.

³A riekol Levitom, ktorí vyučovali všetok izraelský ľud, svätým Hospodinovi: Dajte truhlu svätosti do domu, ktorý vystavil Šalamún, syn Dávidov, izraelský kráľ. Nebude vám bremenom, ktoré by ste museli nosiť na pleciach; teraz len slúžte Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, a jeho ľudu Izraelovi.

⁴Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

⁴Pripravte sa podľa domu svojich otcov po svojich oddeleniach podľa písma od Dávida, izraelského kráľa, a podľa napísaného od Šalamúna, jeho syna.

⁵Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.

⁵A stojte v svätyni podľa oddielov domu otcov za svojich bratov, synov ľudu, a to vše oddelenie patričného domu otca Levitov.

⁶Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses.”

⁶A zabíjajte veľkonočného baránka a posväťte sa a pripravte svojim bratom, aby robili podľa slova Hospodinovho, daného skrze Mojžiša.

⁷Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king’s substance.

⁷A Joziáš daroval synom ľudu obeťou pozdvihnutia drobného dobytka, baránkov a kozliat, všetko na veľkonočného baránka, všetkým, ktorí sa tam nachádzali, počtom tridsať tisíc, a volov tri tisíce. To všetko bolo z majetku kráľovho.

⁸His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.

⁸A jeho kniežatá za dobrovoľnú obeť ľudu, kňazom a Levitom, tiež darovali obeťou pozdvihnutia; Hilkiáš, Zachariáš a Jechiel, vojvodovia domu Božieho, dali kňazom na veľkonočného baránka dva tisíce šesťsto kusov a volov tristo.

⁹Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle.

⁹A Konaniáš a Šemaiáš a Natanael, jeho bratia, a Chašabiáš, Jehiel a Jozabad, kniežatá z Levitov, darovali Levitom obeťou pozdvihnutia na veľkonočného baránka päť tisíc kusov a volov päťsto.

¹⁰So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.

¹⁰A tak bola pripravená služba, a kňazi stáli na svojom mieste a Levitovia vo svojich oddeleniach podľa príkazu kráľovho.

¹¹They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

¹¹A zabíjali veľkonočného baránka, a kňazi kropili berúc z ich ruky, a Levitovia sťahovali z kože.

¹²They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So they did with the cattle.

¹²A oddelili, čo bolo na zápal, aby to dali synom ľudu podľa rozdelení domu otcov, aby obetovali Hospodinovi tak, ako je napísané v knihe Mojžišovej. A tak urobili aj s volmi.

¹³They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.

¹³A piekli veľkonočného baránka na ohni podľa predpísaného poriadku a iné veci posvätené varili v hrncoch, v kotloch a na panviciach a rozdávali behom všetkým synom ľudu.

¹⁴Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

¹⁴Potom pripravili sebe a kňazom, lebo kňazi, synovia Áronovi, boli zamestnaní obetovaním zápalu a tukov až do noci; preto pripravili Levitovia sebe i kňazom, synom Áronovým.

¹⁵The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they didn’t need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.

¹⁵Aj speváci, synovia Azafovi, boli na svojom mieste podľa príkazu Dávidovho a Azafovho, Hémanovho a Jedutúnovho, vidiaceho kráľovho, a vrátni strážili pri každej bráne; nemuseli odchádzať od svojej služby, lebo ich bratia, Levitovia, im pripravili.

¹⁶So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

¹⁶A tak bola pripravená celá služba Hospodinova toho dňa, aby slávili veľkonočného baránka a obetovali zápalné obeti na oltári Hospodinovom podľa príkazu kráľa Joziáša.

¹⁷The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

¹⁷A tedy slávili synovia Izraelovi, ktorí sa nachádzali, veľkonočného baránka toho času i slávnosť nekvasených chlebov sedem dní.

¹⁸There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁸Taká Veľká noc, ako bola tá, nebola slávená v Izraelovi odo dní proroka Samuela, ani niktorý zo všetkých kráľov izraelských neslávil takej Veľkej noci, jakú slávil Joziáš a kňazi a Levitovia i všetok Júda a Izrael, ktorý sa ešte nachádzal, i s obyvateľmi Jeruzalema.

¹⁹In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.

¹⁹V osemnástom roku kráľovstva Joziášovho slávila sa tá Veľká noc.

²⁰After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

²⁰Po tom po všetkom, keď už bol Joziáš pripravil dom Boží, prišiel hore Necho, egyptský kráľ, aby bojoval proti Charkemišu nad Eufratom, a Joziáš vyšiel proti nemu.

²¹But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.”

²¹Ale on poslal k nemu poslov s odkazom: Čo ja mám s tebou, judský kráľu? Ja nejdem dnes proti tebe, ale proti domu, s ktorým vediem vojnu. A Bôh mi rozkázal, aby som sa ponáhľal. Daj tedy pokoj Bohu, ktorý je so mnou, nech ťa nezničí!

²²Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

²²Avšak Joziáš neodvrátil svojej tvári od neho, ale, aby bojoval s ním, zamenil svoj odev a neposlúchol na slová Necha, pošlé z úst Božích. A prišiel, aby bojoval na doline Megiddo.

²³The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!”

²³A strelci strelili do kráľa Joziáša. Vtedy povedal kráľ svojim služobníkom: Odvezte ma, lebo som veľmi nemocný.

²⁴So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

²⁴A tak ho preniesli jeho služobníci z bitevného voza a vyložili ho na jeho druhý voz a doviezli ho do Jeruzalema. Aj zomrel a bol pochovaný v hroboch svojich otcov. A celý Júda a Jeruzalem smútili nad Joziášom.

²⁵Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and behold, they are written in the lamentations.

²⁵A Jeremiáš spieval trúchlivú pieseň nad Joziášom. A všetci speváci a speváčky hovorili vo svojich trúchlych spevoch o Joziášovi až do tohoto dňa, a urobili ich pravidlom v Izraelovi. A hľa, sú zapísané v trúchlospevoch.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh,

²⁶A ostatné deje Joziášove a jeho zbožné skutky, jako je to napísané v zákone Hospodinovom,

²⁷and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

²⁷a vôbec jeho deje, prvé i posledné, tie hľa, sú napísané v knihe kráľov Izraelových a Júdových.
