¹When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

¹A keď prišiel siedmy mesiac, a synovia Izraelovi boli v mestách, shromaždil sa ľud ako jeden muž do Jeruzalema.

²Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

²Vtedy vstal Ješua, syn Jocadákov, i jeho bratia, kňazi, i Zerubábel, syn Šealtielov, i jeho bratia a vystavili oltár Boha Izraelovho, aby obetovali na ňom zápalné obeti, jako je napísané v zákone Mojžiša, muža Božieho.

³In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

³A tak postavili oltár na jeho základoch, lebo doliehal na nich strach od národov zemí, a obetovali na ňom zápalné obeti Hospodinovi, zápalné obeti ráno a večer.

⁴They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;

⁴A slávili slávnosť stánov, ako je napísané, obetujúc zápalnú obeť každého dňa v predpísanom počte a podľa poriadku každý deň to, čo bolo na ktorý deň nariadené,

⁵and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.

⁵a potom zápalnú obeť ustavičnú i na novmesiace i na všetky výročné slávnosti Hospodinove zasvätené a za každého dobrovoľne obetujúceho nejakú dobrovoľnú obeť Hospodinovi.

⁶From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was not yet laid.

⁶Od prvého dňa siedmeho mesiaca začali obetovať zápalné obeti Hospodinovi, hoci chrám Hospodinov nebol ešte založený.

⁷They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.

⁷Ale dali peniaze kameniarom a tesárom a stravu, nápoj a olej Sidoncom a Týranom, aby dopravili cedrové drevo s Libanona po mori do Joppy podľa dovolenia Cýra, perzského kráľa, ktoré mali.

⁸Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh’s house.

⁸A druhého roku po svojom príchode k domu Božiemu do Jeruzalema, druhého mesiaca, začali Zerubábel, syn Šealtielov, a Ješua, syn Jocadákov, a ostatok ich bratov, kňazi a Leviti, jako i všetci, ktorí prišli zo zajatia do Jeruzalema, a postavili Levitov vo veku od dvadsať rokov a vyše, aby dohliadali na dielo domu Hospodinovho.

⁹Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.

⁹A tak stál Ješua, jeho synovia a jeho bratia, Kadmiel a jeho synovia, synovia Júdovi, spolu, aby dohliadali na tých, ktorí konali prácu na dome Božom, synovia Chenadádovi, ich synovia a ich bratia, Leviti.

¹⁰When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.

¹⁰A keď kládli stavitelia základy chrámu Hospodinovho, postavili kňazov, oblečených v bohoslužobnom rúchu, s trúbami a Levitov, synov Azafových, s cymbalmi, aby chválili Hospodina podľa nariadenia Dávida, kráľa Izraelovho.

¹¹They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh had been laid.

¹¹A chváliac a oslavujúc Hospodina odpovedali si navzájom, že je dobrý, že jeho milosť trvá nad Izraelom na veky. A všetok ľud pokrikoval veľkým krikom radostným chváliac Hospodina nad založením domu Hospodinovho.

¹²But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,

¹²Ale mnohí z kňazov a Levitov a z hláv otcov, starci, ktorí videli tamten prvý dom, keď zakladali tento dom pred ich očami, plakali veľkým hlasom, kým zase mnohí v radostnom pokrikovaní pozdvihovali svoj hlas,

¹³so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.

¹³takže ľud nemohol rozoznať hlasu radostného kriku od hlasu plačúceho ľudu, lebo ľud kričal veľkým krikom, takže bolo počuť hlas naďaleko.
