¹Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

¹Vtedy povolal Jozua Rúbenovcov, Gádovcov a polovicu pokolenia Manassesovho

²and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.

²a riekol im: Vy ste zachovali všetko, čo vám prikázal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, a poslúchali ste môj hlas vo všetkom, čo som vám kedy prikázal.

³You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

³Neopustili ste svojich bratov toto už mnohé dni, až do tohoto dňa, a ostríhali ste, čo bolo nariadené, prikázanie Hospodina, svojho Boha.

⁴Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.

⁴A tak teraz dal Hospodin, váš Bôh, odpočinutie vašim bratom, ako im hovoril, preto teraz sa obráťte a iďte si do svojich stánov, do zeme svojho državia, ktoré vám dal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, za Jordánom.

⁵Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

⁵Len pozorujte veľmi, aby ste činili prikázanie a zachovali zákon, ktorý vám prikázal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, milovať Hospodina, svojho Boha, a chodiť po všetkých jeho cestách, ostríhať jeho prikázania a pridŕžať sa ho a slúžiť mu celým svojím srdcom a celou svojou dušou.

⁶So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.

⁶Tak tedy ich požehnal Jozua a prepustil ich, a odišli do svojich stánov.

⁷Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

⁷A polovici pokolenia Manassesovho dal Mojžiš dedičstvo v Bázane a jeho druhej polovici dal Jozua s ich bratmi za Jordánom na západ. A keď ich prepúšťal Jozua do ich stánov, tiež ich požehnal.

⁸and spoke to them, saying, “Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with brass, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”

⁸A povedal im takto: Navráťte sa s veľkými pokladmi do svojich stánov a s dobytkom, veľmi mnohým, so striebrom a so zlatom, s meďou a so železom a s veľkým množstvom rúcha. Rozdeľte korisť od svojich nepriateľov so svojimi bratmi.

⁹The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

⁹A vrátiac sa synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi a polovica pokolenia Manassesovho odišli od synov Izraelových zo Sila, ktoré je v Kananejskej zemi, aby išli do zeme Gileáda, do zeme svojho državia, v ktorej dostali državie na rozkaz Hospodina, skrze Mojžiša.

¹⁰When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.

¹⁰A keď prišli do okolia Jordána, ktoré je v Kananejskej zemi, postavili tam synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi a polovica pokolenia Manassesovho oltár, nad Jordánom, oltár, veľký na podiv.

¹¹The children of Israel heard this, “Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel.”

¹¹A synovia Izraelovi počuli vravieť, že hľa, synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi a polovica pokolenia Manassesovho vystavili oltár naproti Kananejskej zemi, v okolí Jordána, na strane synov Izraelových.

¹²When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

¹²Keď to počuli synovia Izraelovi, shromaždili sa, celá obec synov Izraelových, do Síla, aby išli hore proti nim do boja.

¹³The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

¹³A synovia Izraelovi poslali k synom Rúbenovým a k synom Gádovým a k polovici pokolenia Manassesovho do zeme Gileáda Pinchasa, syna Eleazára, kňaza,

¹⁴and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.

¹⁴a desať kniežat s ním, po jednom kniežati na dom otca zo všetkých desiatich pokolení Izraelových. A každý z nich bol hlavou domu ich otcov, tisícov Izraelových.

¹⁵They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

¹⁵A keď prišli k synom Rúbenovým a k synom Gádovým a k polovici pokolenia Manassesovho do zeme Gileáda, hovorili s nimi a riekli:

¹⁶“Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?

¹⁶Takto hovoria synovia Izraelovi, celá obec Hospodinova: Jaké je to prestúpenie, ktorého ste sa dopustili proti Bohu Izraelovmu, odvrátiť sa dnes, aby ste neišli za Hospodinom, tým, že ste si vystavili oltár, aby ste sa dneska sprotivili Hospodinovi?

¹⁷Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,

¹⁷Či nám bolo ešte málo vykonať neprávosť pri modle Peora, od ktorej sme sa neočistili ani do tohoto dňa, a pre ktorú bola prišla rana na obec Hospodinovu?

¹⁸that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? It will be, since you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

¹⁸A vy ste sa odvrátili dnes, aby ste neišli za Hospodinom. Nuž stane sa, keď ste sa vy dnes vzbúrili proti Hospodinovi, že zajtra sa rozhnevá na celú obec Izraelovu.

¹⁹However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of Yahweh our God.

¹⁹Ale ak vám je nečistou zem vášho državia, nože prejdite do zeme državia Hospodinovho, kde býva príbytok Hospodinov, a vezmite državie medzi nami, ale proti Hospodinovi sa nebúrte a nám sa neprotivte staväjúc si oltár krome oltára Hospodina, nášho Boha.

²⁰Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man didn’t perish alone in his iniquity.’”

²⁰Lebo veď či nebolo tak, keď sa Achan, syn Zérachov, dopustil prestúpenia zarieknutou vecou, že bol hnev na celú obec Izraelovu? A on bol jediný človek, ktorý zhrešil, a nezomrel iba sám za svoju neprávosť.

²¹Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,

²¹Na to odpovedali synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi jako aj polovica pokolenia Manassesovho a hovorili s hlavami tisícov Izraelových:

²²“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us this day),

²²Silný Bôh, Bôh Hospodin, áno, silný Bôh, Bôh Hospodin, on vie, a nech to vie aj Izrael. Ak sme to učinili zo vzbury alebo ak z prestúpenia proti Hospodinovi, vtedy nech nás nezachráni tohoto dňa.

²³that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Yahweh himself require it.

²³Postaviť si oltár nato, aby sme odvrátiac sa neišli za Hospodinom! A jestli to bolo nato, aby sme na ňom obetovali zápalnú obeť a obilnú obeť a jestli nato, aby sme na ňom obetovali bitné obeti pokojné, vtedy nech vyhľadá sám Hospodin,

²⁴“If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?

²⁴jestli sme toho neučinili preto, že sme sa obávali tejto veci povediac: Zajtra povedia vaši synovia našim synom a rieknu: Čo vám do Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho?

²⁵For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.

²⁵Lebo veď Hospodin dal hranicu medzi nás a medzi vás, synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi, Jordán, vy nemáte dielu na Hospodinovi. A vaši synovia spôsobia to, že sa naši synovia prestanú báť Hospodina.

²⁶“Therefore we said, ‘Let’s now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;

²⁶A preto sme riekli: Nože si to spravme, postavme si oltár, nie na zápal ani nie na bitnú obeť,

²⁷but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;’ that your children may not tell our children in time to come, ‘You have no portion in Yahweh.’

²⁷ale nato, aby bol svedkom medzi nami a medzi vami a medzi naším pokolením po nás, aby sme konali službu Hospodinovu pred ním svojimi zápalmi, svojimi bitnými obeťami a svojimi pokojnými obeťami, aby nepovedali vaši synovia zajtra našim synom: Nemáte dielu na Hospodinovi.

²⁸“Therefore we said, ‘It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, “Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.”’

²⁸Preto sme riekli: A bude, keby nám tak povedali alebo nášmu pokoleniu voľakedy v budúcnosti, povieme: Vidzte oltár, podobný oltáru Hospodinovmu, ktorý učinili naši otcovia, nie na zápal ani nie na bitnú obeť, ale nato, aby bol svedkom medzi nami a medzi vami.

²⁹“Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle!”

²⁹Nech je to preč od nás, aby sme sa mali búriť proti Hospodinovi a odvrátiť sa dnes, aby sme neišli za Hospodinom postaviac si oltár na zápal, na obilnú obeť a na bitnú obeť krome oltára Hospodina, svojho Boha, ktorý je pred jeho príbytkom.

³⁰When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.

³⁰A keď počul Pinchas, kňaz, a počuli kniežatá obce a hlavy tisícov Izraelových, ktorí boli s ním, slová, ktoré hovorili synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi a synovia Manassesovi, ľúbilo sa im to.

³¹Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”

³¹A Pinchas, syn Eleazára, kňaza, riekol synom Rúbenovým a synom Gádovým a synom Manassesovým: Dnes sme poznali, že je medzi nami Hospodin, keď ste sa nedopustili proti Hospodinovi prestúpenia, vtedy ste vytrhli synov Izraelových z ruky Hospodinovej.

³²Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

³²A tak sa navrátil Pinchas, syn Eleazára, kňaza, i kniežatá od synov Rúbenových a od synov Gádových zo zeme Gileáda do zeme Kanaána k synom Izraelovým a doniesli im odpoveď.

³³The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.

³³A ľúbilo sa to synom Izraelovým, a synovia Izraelovi dobrorečili Bohu a už nevraveli o tom, že ísť hore proti nim do boja a zkaziť zem, v ktorej bývajú synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi.

³⁴The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar “A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God.”

³⁴A synovia Rúbenovi a synovia Gádovi nazvali oltár: Éd lebo vraj on je svedkom medzi nami, že Hospodin je Bôh.
