¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹Cedekiáš mal dvadsaťjeden rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval jedenásť rokov v Jeruzaleme, a meno jeho matky bolo Chamútaľ, dcéra Jeremiášova, z Libny.

²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako robil Jehojakim.

³For through the anger of Yahweh it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

³Lebo pre hnev Hospodinov sa to dialo v Jeruzaleme a v Júdovi, dokiaľ ich len neodvrhol zpred svojej tvári. A Cedekiáš sa sprotivil babylonskému kráľovi.

⁴It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

⁴A stalo sa deviateho roku jeho kraľovania, desiateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho istého mesiaca, že prišiel Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, on i všetko jeho vojsko proti Jeruzalemu, a rozložili sa proti nemu táborom a vystavili proti nemu hradby dookola.

⁵So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁵A tak bolo mesto obľahnuté až do jedenásteho roku kráľa Cedekiáša.

⁶In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁶Potom štvrtého mesiaca, deviateho dňa toho mesiaca zmocnil sa mesta hlad, a nebolo chleba pre ľud zeme.

⁷Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city all around;) and they went toward the Arabah.

⁷Vtedy bolo prelomené mesto, a všetci bojovní mužovia utiekli a vyšli z mesta vnoci cestou brány medzi dvoma múrami, ktorá bola pri zahrade kráľovej. (A Chaldeji boli proti mestu dookola.) A išli cestou roviny Araby.

⁸But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁸Ale vojsko Chaldejov prenasledovalo kráľa, a dostihli Cedekiáša na rovinách Jericha, a všetko jeho vojsko sa rozpŕchlo od neho.

⁹Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.

⁹A chytiac kráľa odviedli ho k babylonskému kráľovi hore do Ribly v zemi Chamata, a tam vypovedal nad ním súd.

¹⁰The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹⁰A babylonský kráľ pobil synov Cedekiášových pred jeho očima a pobil aj všetky kniežatá Júdove v Rible.

¹¹He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

¹¹A oči Cedekiášove oslepil a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami. A babylonský kráľ ho doviedol do Babylona a dal ho do väzenia, kde ho nechal až do dňa jeho smrti.

¹²Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:

¹²Potom piateho mesiaca, desiateho dňa toho istého mesiaca, ktorý to rok bol devätnástym rokom kráľa Nabuchodonozora, babylonského kráľa, prišiel Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, ktorý stával pred babylonským kráľom, do Jeruzalema.

¹³and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

¹³A spálil dom Hospodinov i dom kráľov i všetky domy Jeruzalema i všetky veľké domy popálil ohňom.

¹⁴All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

¹⁴Aj všetky múry Jeruzalema dookola rozborilo všetko vojsko Chaldejov, ktoré bolo s veliteľom kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁵Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.

¹⁵A z chudoby ľudu jako aj vôbec ostatných z ľudu, ktorí boli pozostali v meste, i prebehlíkov, ktorí boli prebehli k babylonskému kráľovi, a tiež ostatok zástupu prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže.

¹⁶But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

¹⁶Ale niečo z chudobných ľudí zeme ponechal Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, za vinárov a oráčov.

¹⁷The Chaldeans broke the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon.

¹⁷A medené stĺpy, ktoré patrili domu Hospodinovmu, a podstavce jako aj medené more, ktoré bolo v dome Hospodinovom, potĺkli Chaldeji a odviezli všetku ich meď do Babylona.

¹⁸They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.

¹⁸I hrnce, lopatky, nože, čaše, panvy i všetky medené nádoby, ktorými svätoslúžili, pobrali.

¹⁹The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

¹⁹I misy, kadidlá, čaše, hrnce, svietniky, panvy a konvice, ktoré zo zlata, zo zlata, a ktoré zo striebra, zo striebra, pobral veliteľ kráľovskej stráže;

²⁰They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.

²⁰dva stĺpy, jedno more, dvanásť volov z medi, ktoré boly miesto podstavcov, ktoré bol spravil kráľ Šalamún pre dom Hospodinov; nebolo váhy ich medi, medi všetkých tých nádob.

²¹As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.

²¹Lebo čo do stĺpov, osemnásť lakťov bola výška jedného stĺpa, a objala ho šnúra dvanástich lakťov, a hrúbka jeho steny bola na štyri prsty, a bol dutý.

²²A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.

²²A makovica na ňom medená, a výška jednej makovice päť lakťov, a pletivo a zrnaté jablká na makovici dookola, všetko z medi. Tak mal i druhý stĺp, i zrnaté jablká.

²³There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.

²³A bolo deväťdesiatšesť zrnatých jabĺk zvonku; všetkých zrnatých jabĺk na pletive dookola bolo sto.

²⁴The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

²⁴A veliteľ kráľovskej stráže vzal i Seraiáša, predného kňaza, i Sofoniáša, kňaza druhého radu, jako aj troch strážcov prahu.

²⁵and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

²⁵A z mesta vzal jedného komorníka, ktorý bol veliteľom nad bojovnými mužmi, a sedem mužov z tých, ktorí vídavali tvár kráľovu, ktorí boli najdení v meste, i pisára veliteľa vojska, ktorý popisoval ľud zeme do vojska, a šesťdesiat mužov z ľudu zeme, ktorí sa našli vnútri v meste.

²⁶Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

²⁶A vezmúc ich Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, odviedol ich k babylonskému kráľovi do Ribly.

²⁷The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

²⁷A babylonský kráľ ich zbil a usmrtil ich v Rible, v zemi Chamatu. A tak sa odstehoval Júda zo svojej zeme do zajatia.

²⁸This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;

²⁸Toto je ľud, ktorý prestehoval Nabuchodonozor: v siedmom roku tri tisíce dvadsaťtri Židov;

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;

²⁹v osemnástom roku Nabuchodonozora: z Jeruzalema osemsto tridsaťdva duší;

³⁰in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

³⁰v dvadsiatom treťom roku Nabuchodonozora prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, Židov sedemsto štyridsaťpäť duší, všetkých duší štyri tisíce šesťsto.

³¹It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

³¹A stalo sa tridsiateho siedmeho roku zajatia Jehojachina, judského kráľa, dvanásteho mesiaca, dvadsiateho piateho dňa toho mesiaca, že Evil-merodach, babylonský kráľ, toho roku, ktorého začal kraľovať, povýšil hlavu Jehojachina, judského kráľa, a vyviedol ho zo žalára.

³²and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

³²A hovoril s ním dobrotive a dal jeho stolicu nad stolicu iných kráľov, ktorí boli s ním v Babylone.

³³and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:

³³A zamenil jeho rúcho, ktoré mal v žalári, a jedol chlieb vždycky pred ním, po všetky dni svojho života.

³⁴and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

³⁴A čo do jeho vymeraného dielu, dávalo sa mu od babylonského kráľa každý deň to, čo bolo na ktorý deň, až do dňa jeho smrti, po všetky dni jeho života.
