¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹Desiateho roku, desiateho mesiaca, dvanásteho dňa toho mesiaca stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

²Synu človeka, obráť svoju tvár proti faraonovi, egyptskému kráľovi, a prorokuj proti nemu i proti celému Egyptu.

³Speak and say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

³Hovor a povieš: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, prijdem na teba, faraone, egyptský kráľu, veľký draku, ktorý ležíš hovejúc si prostred svojich riek, ktorý hovoríš: Moja rieka je moja, a ja som sa sám učinil!

⁴I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.

⁴Ale dám obrúčky do tvojich čelustí a spôsobím to, aby sa prilepily ryby tvojich riek na tvoje šupiny, a vyvlečiem ťa zprostred tvojich riek i všetky ryby tvojich riek, ktoré sa prilepia na tvoje šupiny.

⁵I’ll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

⁵A vrhnem ťa na púšť, teba i všetky ryby tvojich riek. Padneš na šírom poli, nebudeš odprataný ani shromaždený; zemskej zveri a nebeskému vtáctvu ťa dám za pokrm.

⁶All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁶A zvedia všetci obyvatelia Egypta, že ja som Hospodin, pretože boli trstinovou palicou opornou domu Izraelovmu.

⁷When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and paralyzed all of their thighs.”

⁷Keď sa ťa kedy chytili, tvojej ruky, zlomil si sa a preklal si im celé plece; a keď sa opreli na teba, polámal si sa a spôsobil si to, aby im stály všetky bedrá.

⁸Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.

⁸Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, uvediem na teba meč a vyplienim z teba človeka i hovädo,

⁹The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Yahweh. Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it;’

⁹a tak bude Egyptská zem pustinou a púšťou, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin, pretože hovorí: Rieka je moja, a ja som učinil.

¹⁰therefore, behold, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.

¹⁰Preto hľa, prijdem proti tebe i proti tvojim riekam a obrátim Egyptskú zem na hroznú púšť a pustinu od veže Sevéne až po hranicu Ethiopie.

¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

¹¹Nepojde cez ňu noha človeka, ani noha hoväda nepojde cez ňu, a nebude sa v nej bývať štyridsať rokov.

¹²I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”

¹²A tak obrátim Egyptskú zem na pustinu prostred pustých zemí, a jej mestá prostred spustošených miest budú pusté štyridsať rokov, a rozptýlim Egypťanov medzi národy a rozoženiem ich po rôznych zemiach.

¹³For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;

¹³Lebo takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Po štyridsiatich rokoch shromaždím Egypťanov z národov, kam boli rozptýlení,

¹⁴and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

¹⁴a navrátim zajatých z Egypťanov a dovediem ich zpät do zeme Patrosa, do zeme ich pôvodu, a budú tam nízkym kráľovstvom.

¹⁵It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

¹⁵Bude nižším ako iné kráľovstvá a nebude sa viacej povyšovať nad národy, a učiním to, aby ich bolo málo, aby nepanovali spupne nad národami.

¹⁶It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”’”

¹⁶A nebude viacej domu Izraelovmu nádejou, ktorá by pripomínala neprávosť, keď by sa obracali za nimi, a zvedia, že ja som Pán Hospodin.

¹⁷It came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁷A bolo dvadsiateho siedmeho roku, prvého mesiaca, prvého dňa toho mesiaca, že stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹⁸Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.

¹⁸Synu človeka, Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, naložil svojmu vojsku velikú službu proti Týru. Každá hlava je oplešivená, a každé plece je odrané, ale nemá mzdy ani on ani jeho vojsko z Týru za službu, ktorú konal proti nemu.

¹⁹Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

¹⁹Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, dám Nabuchodonozorovi, babylonskému kráľovi, Egyptskú zem, a odnesie množstvo jej bohatstva a poberie jej korisť a ulúpi jej lúpež, a to bude mzdou jeho vojsku.

²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the Lord Yahweh.

²⁰Za jeho plácu, za ktorú slúžil, dám mu Egyptskú zem, pretože to vykonali mne, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

²¹In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

²¹Toho dňa spôsobím to, aby vyrástol roh domu Izraelovmu, a tebe dám to, aby si otvoril ústa prostred nich, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin.
