¹Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.

¹A ľud zeme vzal Jehoachaza, syna Joziášovho, a urobili ho kráľom namiesto jeho otca v Jeruzaleme.

²Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

²Joachaz mal dvadsaťtri rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval tri mesiace v Jeruzaleme.

³The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

³A odstránil ho egyptský kráľ v Jeruzaleme a pokutoval zem na sto hrivien striebra a na hrivnu zlata.

⁴The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

⁴A egyptský kráľ urobil kráľom Eljakima, jeho brata, nad Judskom a nad Jeruzalemom a premenil jeho meno na Jehojakima, kým Joachaza, jeho brata, vzal Necho a zaviedol ho do Egypta.

⁵Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.

⁵Jehojakim mal dvadsaťpäť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodina, jeho Boha.

⁶Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

⁶Proti nemu prišiel hore Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami, aby ho odviedol do Babylona.

⁷Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

⁷Aj niečo z nádob domu Hospodinovho odpravil Nabuchodonozor do Babylona a dal ich do svojho chrámu v Babylone.

⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

⁸A ostatné deje Jehojakimove jako i jeho ohavnosti, ktoré páchal, a čo sa iné našlo pri ňom, to hľa, je napísané v knihe kráľov Izraelových a Júdových. A kraľoval Jehojachin, jeho syn, miesto neho.

⁹Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

⁹Jehojachin mal osem rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval tri mesiace a desať dní v Jeruzaleme. A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových.

¹⁰At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹⁰Potom po roku poslal kráľ Nabuchodonozor po neho a dal ho zaviesť do Babylona so vzácnymi nádobami domu Hospodinovho a urobil kráľom Cedekiáša, jeho brata, príbuzného, nad Judskom a nad Jeruzalemom.

¹¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:

¹¹Cedekiáš mal dvadsaťjeden rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme.

¹²and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God; he didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yahweh.

¹²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodina, jeho Boha. Nepokoril sa pred prorokom Jeremiášom, ktorý mu hovoril slovo z úst Hospodinových.

¹³He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹³Ba sprotivil sa i kráľovi Nabuchodonozorovi, ktorý ho zaviazal prísahou na Boha, a zatvrdil svoju šiju a urputne sa zoprel vo svojom srdci, že sa nevráti k Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu.

¹⁴Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Yahweh which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

¹⁴Áno, aj všetky kniežatá kňazov i ľud dopúšťali sa mnohých a veľkých prestúpení robiac podľa všetkých ohavností pohanských národov a poškvrnili dom Hospodinov, ktorý bol posvätil v Jeruzaleme.

¹⁵Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

¹⁵A keď posielal k nim Hospodin, Bôh ich otcov, výstražný hlas po svojich posloch zavčasu a znova a znova, lebo mu bolo ľúto jeho ľudu a jeho príbytku,

¹⁶but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

¹⁶posmievali sa poslom Božím a opovrhovali jeho slovami a mali jeho prorokov za bludárov, až vzplanul prchký hnev Hospodinov na jeho ľud tak, že už nebolo lieku.

¹⁷Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

¹⁷A doviedol hore na nich chaldejského kráľa, ktorý pobil ich mládencov mečom v dome ich svätyne a nezľutoval sa ani nad mládencom ani nad pannou, nad starším ani nad kmeťom; všetkých vydal do jeho ruky.

¹⁸All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

¹⁸K tomu i všetky nádoby domu Božieho, veľké i malé, i poklady domu Hospodinovho i poklady kráľove i jeho kniežatá, to všetko pobral a dopravil do Babylona.

¹⁹They burnt God’s house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.

¹⁹A napokon spálili dom Boží a rozborili múr Jeruzalema i všetky jeho paláce popálili ohňom i všetko jeho vzácne náradie zničili.

²⁰He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

²⁰A to, čo pozostalo po meči, prestehoval do Babylona do zajatia, a boli jemu a jeho synom za služobníkov, až dokiaľ nekraľovalo perzské kráľovstvo,

²¹to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

²¹aby sa naplnilo slovo Hospodinovo, povedané skrze ústa Jeremiášove, dokiaľ sa nenakochala zem svojich sobôt; po všetky dni, ktoré ležala púšťou, odpočívala, aby sa vyplnilo sedemdesiat rokov.

²²Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

²²Potom prvého roku Cýra, perzského kráľa, aby sa naplnilo slovo Hospodinovo, povedané skrze ústa Jeremiáša, zobudil Hospodin ducha Cýra, perzského kráľa, a tak dal vyhlásiť po celom svojom kráľovstve, a to i písmom týmito slovami:

²³“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’”

²³Takto hovorí Cýrus, perzský kráľ: Hospodin, Bôh nebies, mi dal všetky kráľovstvá zeme a on mi naložil, aby som mu vystavil dom v Jeruzaleme, ktorý je v Judsku. Preto kto je kde medzi vami zo všetkého jeho ľudu, Hospodin, jeho Bôh, nech je s ním, a nech ide ta hore.-
