¹Of Moab. Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disappointed, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down.

¹Čo do Moába. Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Beda mestu Nébo, lebo bude spustošené; hanbiť sa bude, vzaté bude Kirjataim, Misgab sa bude hanbiť a bude sa desiť.

²The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.

²Niet už viacej chlúby Moábovej v Chešbone; vymysleli proti nemu zlé. Poďte a vytneme ho tak, aby nebol národom. Aj ty, Madmen, umĺkneš; za tebou pojde meč.

³The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!

³Hlas kriku počuť z Choronajima: Spustošenie a veľké skrúšenie!

⁴Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

⁴Skrúšený je Moáb! Jeho malí budú kričať tak, že to bude počuť naďaleko.

⁵For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

⁵Lebo hore svahom Luchíta pojde sa neprestajným plačom; lebo na svahu Choronaima počujú nepriatelia krik skrúšenia.

⁶Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

⁶Utekajte, zachráňte svoju dušu! Všetky budú jako borievka na púšti.

⁷For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

⁷Lebo preto, že sa nadeješ na svoje diela a na svoje poklady, budeš i ty vzatý, Moábe, a Chámoš pojde von do zajatia, jeho kňazi i jeho kniežatá spolu.

⁸The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken.

⁸A pustošiteľ prijde na všetky mestá, ani neujde niktoré mesto; údolie zahynie a rovina bude zahladená, to, čo povedal Hospodin.

⁹Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.

⁹Dajte Moábovi peruť, lebo vyjde letmo, a jeho mestá budú obrátené na pustinu tak, že nebude v nich obyvateľa.

¹⁰Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

¹⁰Zlorečený ten, kto koná dielo Hospodinovo nedbalo, a zlorečený ten, kto zdržuje svoj meč od krvi.

¹¹Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

¹¹Moáb žil bezpečný od svojej mladosti a pokojne sedel na svojich kvasniciach ani nebol prelievaný z nádoby do nádoby ani neišiel do zajatia, preto stojí jeho chuť v ňom, a jeho vôňa sa nezmenila.

¹²Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

¹²Preto hľa, idú dni, hovorí Hospodin, že pošlem na neho tých, ktorí prelievajú, a prelejú ho, vyprázdnia jeho nádoby a roztrepú ich žbány.

¹³Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

¹³A tak sa bude hanbiť Moáb pre Chámoša, jako sa hanbia dom Izraelov pre Bét-el, svoju nádej.

¹⁴How do you say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?

¹⁴Akože poviete: My sme udatní hrdinovia a chrabrí mužovia do boja?

¹⁵Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁵Moáb bude spustošený, a nepriateľ vyjde hore do jeho miest, a jeho vybraní mládenci sídu dolu na zabitie, hovorí Kráľ, ktorého meno je Hospodin Zástupov.

¹⁶The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.

¹⁶Blízko je zkaza Moábova, aby prišla, a jeho trápenie náhli sa veľmi.

¹⁷All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!

¹⁷Ľutujte ho všetci, ktorí ste na jeho okolí, a všetci, ktorí znáte jeho meno, povedzte: Jako je len polámaná berla sily, palica krásy!

¹⁸You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.

¹⁸Sídi so svojej slávy a sadni v smäde, obyvateľko, dcéro Díbona, lebo zhubca Moábov ide hore proti tebe, zkazí tvoje ohrady.

¹⁹Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, What has been done?

¹⁹Postav sa na cestu a vyzeraj, obyvateľko Aroera; opýtaj sa toho, ktorý uteká, a tej, ktorá beží, aby unikla; povedz: Čo sa stalo?

²⁰Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

²⁰Moáb sa hanbí, lebo je zdrtený. Kvíľte a kričte: Oznámte v Arnone, že Moáb je spustošený!

²¹Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

²¹A súd prišiel na zem tej roviny, na Cholon, na Jahacu a na Mefaat,

²²and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,

²²prišiel i na Díbon, na Nébo i na Bét-diblataim,

²³and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,

²³na Kirjataim, na Bét-gamul i na Bét-meon,

²⁴and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

²⁴na Kerijót, na Bocru i na všetky mestá zeme Moábovej, ďaleké i blízke.

²⁵The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Yahweh.

²⁵Roh Moábov je odťatý, a jeho rameno je polámané, hovorí Hospodin.

²⁶Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against Yahweh: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

²⁶Opojte ho, lebo sa povýšil proti Hospodinovi, aby pleskol Moáb do svojho vývratku. A bude aj on na posmech.

²⁷For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

²⁷Alebo či nebol tebe Izrael za posmech? Či bol azda najdený medzi zlodejmi? Lebo kedykoľvek zavadíš o neho svojimi slovami, pokyvuješ hlavou.

²⁸You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

²⁸Opustite mestá a bývajte v skale, obyvatelia Moábovi, a buďte jako holubica, ktorá hniezdi ďaleko v rozsadlinách.

²⁹We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

²⁹Slýchali sme o pýche Moábovej, je veľmi pyšný, o jeho vysokomyseľnosti, o jeho pýche, o jeho nadutosti a povýšenosti jeho srdca.

³⁰I know his wrath, says Yahweh, that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.

³⁰Ja znám, hovorí Hospodin, jeho vztek, ale nebude tak; jeho márne reči hrdé nevykonajú ničoho.

³¹Therefore will I wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir Heres shall they mourn.

³¹Preto kvílim nad Moábom a kričím pre celého Moába, úpia pre mužov Kir-chéresa.

³²With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.

³²Viacej ti plačem, ako som plakal nad Jazerom, viniču Sibmy! Tvoje výhonky prenikly za more, dosiahly až po more Jazera: na tvoje letné plody a na tvoju oberačku pripadol zhubca.

³³Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

³³A sprataná bude radosť a plesanie s úrodného poľa a zo zeme Moábovej, a spôsobím to, že nebude vína v prešoch. Nebudú šliapať hrozna s radostným krikom oberača; krik oberača nebude radostným krikom oberača.

³⁴From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.

³⁴Od kriku Chešbona až po Eleále, až po Jahac budú vydávať svoj hlas, od Coára až po Choronaim ako trojročná jalovica, lebo aj vody Nimríma budú obrátené na púšť.

³⁵Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Yahweh, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.

³⁵A spôsobím to, hovorí Hospodin, aby nemal Moáb toho, kto by obetoval zápal na výšine, a toho, kto by kadil jeho bohom.

³⁶Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.

³⁶Preto zneje moje srdce pre Moába jako fujary, a moje srdce zneje nad mužmi Kir-chéresa jako píšťaly; preto aj prebytok, ktorého nadobudli, zahynie.

³⁷For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.

³⁷Lebo každá hlava je plešivá a každá brada ostrihaná, na všetkých rukách sú rezy a na bedrách smútočné vrece;

³⁸On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights, says Yahweh.

³⁸na všetkých postrešiach Moábových i po jeho uliciach všade samý žalostný nárek, lebo som rozbil Moába jako nádobu, v ktorej niet záľuby, hovorí Hospodin.

³⁹How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.

³⁹Aký je zdrtený! Kvília. Ako obrátil Moáb chrbát od hanby! A Moáb je za posmech a na postrach všetkým, ktorí sú vôkol neho!

⁴⁰For thus says Yahweh: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

⁴⁰Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, priletí jako orol a roztiahne svoje krýdla na Moába.

⁴¹Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

⁴¹Kerijót bude vzaté, a pevnosti budú uchvátené. A srdce udatných mužov Moábových bude toho dňa jako srdce ženy, sovrenej úzkosťami porodu.

⁴²Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh.

⁴²Moáb bude zahladený tak, že prestane byť ľudom, pretože sa povýšil proti Hospodinovi.

⁴³Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says Yahweh.

⁴³Pachad, pachat a pach na teba, obyvateľu Moába! hovorí Hospodin.

⁴⁴He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation, says Yahweh.

⁴⁴Ten, kto utečie pred strachom, padne do jamy, a ten, kto vylezie z jamy, bude lapený do smečky. Lebo uvediem na neho, na Moába, rok ich navštívenia, hovorí Hospodin.

⁴⁵Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

⁴⁵V tôni Chešbona budú stáť zo sily vyčerpaní utekajúci; ale istotne vyjde oheň z Chešbona a plameň zpomedzi Síchona a zožerie sluchu Moábovu a temeno hlavy synov hrmotu.

⁴⁶Woe to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

⁴⁶Beda tebe, Moábe! Zahynie ľud Chámošov! Lebo tvoji synovia budú vzatí do zajatia a tvoje dcéry v plen.

⁴⁷Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

⁴⁷Ale v posledných dňoch navrátim zajatých Moábových, hovorí Hospodin. Potiaľto súd Moábov.
