2 Kings 17
1 Elah’s son Hoshea began to rule Israel after King Ahaz had ruled Judah for twelve years. Hoshea ruled in Samaria for nine years.
Léta dvanáctého Achasa krále Judského kraloval Ozee syn Ela v Samaří nad Izraelem devět let.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as many evil things as the previous kings of Israel had done.
A činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, ač ne tak jako jiní králové Izraelští, kteříž byli před ním.
3 [The army of] King Shalmaneser of Assyria attacked and defeated [the army of] King Hoshea. As a result, the Israelis were forced to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to Assyria each year.
Proti němuž přitáhl Salmanazar král Assyrský. I učiněn jest Ozee služebníkem jeho, a dával mu plat.
4 But several years later, Hoshea secretly planned to rebel against the rulers of Assyria. He sent messengers to So/Osorkon, the king of Egypt, [asking if his army could help the Israelis fight against the army of Assyria]. Hoshea also stopped paying the tribute/taxes that he had been paying to Assyria every year. But the king of Assyria found out about those things, so he told his officers to put Hoshea in prison.
Shledal pak král Assyrský při Ozee puntování; nebo poslal posly k Sua králi Egyptskému, a neposílal králi Assyrskému ročního platu. Protož oblehl ho král Assyrský, a svázaného dal do žaláře.
5 Then he [brought the army of] Assyria to Israel, and they attacked everywhere in that land. His army surrounded Samaria [city] for three years.
I táhl král Assyrský po vší zemi; přitáhl také do Samaří, a ležel u ní tři léta.
6 Finally, after King Hoshea had been ruling Israel for nine years, the army of Assyria [MTY] [forcefully entered] the city [and] captured [the people]. They took the Israeli people to Assyria and forced some of them to live in Halah [town]. They forced others to live near the Habor River in Gozan district. They forced others to live in the towns where the Mede people-group lived.
Léta pak devátého Ozee vzal král Assyrský Samaří, a přenesl Izraele do Assyrie, a osadil je v Chelach a v Chabor při řece Gozan, a v městech Médských.
7 Those things happened because the Israeli people had sinned against Yahweh their God. He had rescued their [ancestors] from the power [MTY] of the king of Egypt and brought them [safely] out of Egypt, but later they began to worship other gods.
To se stalo, proto že hřešili synové Izraelští proti Hospodinu Bohu svému, kterýž je vyvedl z země Egyptské, aby nebyli pod mocí Faraona krále Egyptského, a ctili bohy cizí,
8 They imitated the things that the heathen/pagan people-groups did. Those were the groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis occupied their land. The Israeli people also did the evil things that the kings of Israel (introduced/showed to them).
Chodíce v ustanoveních pohanů, (kteréž byl vyvrhl Hospodin od tváři synů Izraelských, ) a králů Izraelských, kteráž nařídili.
9 The Israeli people also secretly did many things that were not pleasing to Yahweh their God. They built shrines [to worship idols] in all their cities, including small towns and big cities with walls around them.
Přesto pokrytě se měli synové Izraelští, činíce to, což není dobrého před Hospodinem Bohem svým, a vzdělali sobě výsosti ve všech městech svých, od věže strážných až do města hrazeného.
10 They set up stone pillars [to honor gods], and poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah at the top of every high hill and under every [big] tree.
A nastavěli sobě obrazů i hájů na všelikém pahrbku vysokém, a pod každým stromem zeleným,
11 The Israelis burned incense in every place where they worshiped those gods, just like the people-groups who lived there previously had done—the groups that Yahweh had expelled from the land. The Israelis did many wicked things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
Zapalujíce tam vonné věci na všech výsostech, rovně jako pohané, kteréž vyhnal Hospodin od tváři jejich. A činili věci nejhorší, popouzejíce Hospodina.
12 Yahweh warned them many times that they should not worship idols, but they did it anyway.
A sloužili bohům nečistým, o nichž byl Hospodin řekl jim, aby nečinili toho.
13 Yahweh frequently sent his prophets and (seers/those who saw visions from Yahweh) to warn the people of Israel and the people of Judah. The message that Yahweh gave them was, “Turn away from all your evil behavior. Obey my commands and my laws, the laws that I told your ancestors [to obey] and which I told the prophets who served me to tell to you [again].”
I osvědčoval Hospodin proti Izraelovi a proti Judovi skrze všecky proroky i všecky vidoucí, řka: Odvraťte se od cest svých zlých, a ostříhejte přikázaní mých a ustanovení mých vedlé všeho zákona, kterýž jsem vydal otcům vašim, a kterýž jsem poslal k vám skrze služebníky své proroky.
14 But the Israeli people would not pay attention. They were stubborn [IDM] just like their ancestors were. Just like their ancestors did, they refused to believe in Yahweh their God.
Však neposlechli, ale zatvrdili šíji svou, jako i otcové jejich šíje své, kteříž nevěřili v Hospodina Boha svého.
15 They rejected Yahweh’s laws and the agreement that he had made with their ancestors. They ignored Yahweh’s warnings. They worshiped worthless idols and as a result they themselves became worthless. Although Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate the evil behavior of the people-groups that lived near them, they disobeyed that command.
A opovrhli ustanovení jeho i smlouvu jeho, kterouž učinil s otci jejich, i osvědčování jeho, kterýmiž se jim osvědčoval, a odešli po marnosti, a marní učiněni jsou, následujíce pohanů, kteříž byli vůkol nich, o nichž jim byl přikázal Hospodin, aby nečinili jako oni.
16 The Israeli people disobeyed all of Yahweh’s commands. They made two metal calves [to worship]. They set up two poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah, and they worshiped [the god] Baal, and the sun, the moon, and the stars.
A opustivše všecka přikázaní Hospodina Boha svého, udělali sobě slitinu, dvé telat a háj, a klaněli se všemu vojsku nebeskému; sloužili také Bálovi.
17 They also burned their own sons and daughters to be sacrifices [to those gods]. They went to fortune-tellers and they practiced sorcery. They continually chose [MET] to do [all kinds of] evil things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
A vodili syny své a dcery své skrze oheň, a obírali se s hádáním a kouzly, a tak vydali se v činění toho, což jest zlé před očima Hospodinovýma, popouzejíce ho.
18 So, because Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people, he allowed [their enemies] to take them away [from their country]. Only the people of the tribe of Judah were left [in the land].
Protož rozhněval se Hospodin náramně na Izraele, a zahnal je od tváři své, nezanechav z nich nic, kromě samého pokolení Judova.
19 But even the people of Judah did not obey the commands of Yahweh their God. They imitated the evil customs that the Israelis had introduced.
Ano i Juda neostříhal přikázaní Hospodina Boha svého, ale chodili v ustanoveních Izraelských, kteráž byli nařídili.
20 So Yahweh rejected all the people of Israel and of Judah. He punished them by allowing the armies of other nations to defeat them [and take them away]. He got rid of all of them.
A protož opovrhl Hospodin všecko símě Izraelské a ssužoval je, a vydal je v ruku loupežníků, až je i zavrhl od tváři své.
21 Earlier, when Yahweh allowed the people of Israel to separate/break away from the area [MTY] that King David [had estabished], they chose Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, to be their king. Then Jeroboam enticed the people of Israel to stop worshiping Yahweh [and to worship idols instead]. He led them to commit great sins.
Nebo odtrhl Izraele od domu Davidova, a krále ustanovili Jeroboáma syna Nebatova, Jeroboám pak odvrátil Izraele od následování Hospodina, a přivedl je k hřešení hříchem velikým.
22 And the Israeli people continued to do the evil things that Jeroboam introduced. They did not turn away from those sins,
A chodili synové Izraelští ve všech hříších Jeroboámových, kteréž on činil, a neodstoupili od nich,
23 until finally Yahweh got rid of them. That was just what his prophets had warned would happen. The Israeli people were taken away to the land of Assyria, and they still remain there.
Až zavrhl Hospodin Izraele od tváři své, jakož byl mluvil skrze všecky služebníky své proroky. I vyhnán jest Izrael z země své do Assyrie až do tohoto dne.
24 The king of Assyria [ordered his soldiers to] take [groups of] people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim [cities] to [the] Samaria [region], and to resettle them in the towns there, to take the place of the Israelis [who lived there previously]. Those people took control over [the whole] Samaria [region] and lived in the towns there.
Potom král Assyrský přivedl lidi z Babylona, a z Kut a z Ava, a z Emat a z Sefarvaim, a osadil je v městech Samařských místo synů Izraelských, kteříž opanovavše Samaří, bydlili v městech jejich.
25 But those people [who came from other countries] did not worship Yahweh when they first arrived in Samaria. So Yahweh sent lions to kill some of them.
I stalo se, když tam bydliti počali, a nesloužili Hospodinu, že poslal na ně Hospodin lvy, kteříž je dávili.
26 Then those people sent a message to the king of Assyria. They wrote, “We people who have resettled in the towns in Samaria do not know how to worship the God [that the Israelis worshiped] in this land. So he has sent lions among us to kill us, because we have not worshiped him correctly.”
Protož mluvili králi Assyrskému, řkouce: Národové ti, kteréž jsi přenesl a osadil v městech Samařských, neznají obyčeje Boha země té; protož poslal na ně lvy, kteříž je hubí, proto že neznají obyčeje Boha země té.
27 [When] the king of Assyria [read this letter, he] commanded [his officers], “You brought many priests here from Samaria. Send one of them back there. Tell him to teach the people who are now living there how to worship correctly the God whom the Israelis worshiped in that land.”
I přikázal král Assyrský, řka: Doveďte tam jednoho z těch kněží, kteréž jste odtud přivedli, a odejdouce, nechť tam bydlí, a učí je obyčeji Boha země té.
28 So [the officers did that]. They sent one of the Israeli priests back to Samaria. That priest went to live in Bethel [city], and he taught the people there how to worship Yahweh.
Přišel tedy jeden z kněží, kteréž byli přivedli z Samaří, a bydlil v Bethel, a učil je, jak by měli sloužiti Hospodinu.
29 But the people [who returned from Babylon and started to live in Samaria and] continued to make their own idols. They placed them in the shrines that the Israelis had built there. The people of each people-group made idols in the cities in which they were living.
A však nadělali sobě jeden každý národ bohů svých, kteréž stavěli v domě výsostí, jichž byli nadělali Samařští, jeden každý národ v městech svých, v nichž bydlili.
30 The people from Babylon made idols to represent their god Succoth-Benoth. The people from Cuthah made idols to represent their god Nergal. The people from Hamath made idols to represent their god Ashima.
Muži zajisté Babylonští udělali Sukkot Benot, muži pak Kutští udělali Nergale, a muži Ematští udělali Asima.
31 The people of Avva made idols to represent their gods Nibhaz and Tartak. The people from Sepharvaim sacrificed their own children. They completely burned them [in pits where hot fires were kept burning, ] as offerings to their gods Adrammelech and Anammelech.
Hevejští tolikéž udělali Nibchaz a Tartak, a Sefarvaimští pálili syny své ohněm Adramelechovi a Anamelechovi, bohům Sefarvaimským.
32 But those people also worshiped Yahweh, and they appointed from among their own groups many people to be priests at the shrines on the tops of the hills, in order that those priests could offer sacrifices for them there.
A tak sloužili Hospodinu, nadělavše sobě z počtu svého kněží výsostí, kteříž přisluhovali jim v domích výsostí.
33 So they revered Yahweh, but they also worshiped their own gods, just as the people living in the countries from which they had been taken to Samaria did.
Hospodina ctili, však předce bohům svým sloužili vedlé obyčeje těch národů, odkudž převedeni byli.
34 They still keep their old customs. They really do not worship Yahweh, and they do not obey all the laws and commands that Yahweh gave to the descendants of Jacob, to whom he gave the new name Israel.
A do dnes činí vedlé obyčejů starých; nebojí se Hospodina, a nečiní vedlé ustanovení a úsudků jeho, ani vedlé zákona a přikázaní, kteráž vydal Hospodin synům Jákobovým, jehož nazval Izraelem.
35 Yahweh had previously made an agreement with their ancestors, commanding them not to worship other gods or bow down to honor them or do other things to please them or offer sacrifices to them.
Učinil také byl Hospodin s nimi smlouvu, a přikázal jim, řka: Nebudete ctíti bohů cizích, ani se jim klaněti, ani jim sloužiti, ani jim obětovati.
36 He had said to them, “You must have an awesome respect for me, Yahweh, the one who brought you out of Egypt with my very great power [DOU]. I am the one whom you must bow down to honor, and I am the one to whom you must offer sacrifices.
Ale Hospodina, kterýž vás vyvedl z země Egyptské v síle veliké a v rameni vztaženém, toho ctíti budete, a jemu se klaněti, a jemu obětovati.
37 You must always obey the laws and commands that I [told Moses to] write for you. You must not worship other gods.
Také ustanovení a úsudků, i zákona a přikázaní, kteráž napsal vám, ostříhati budete, plníce je po všecky dny, a nebudete ctíti bohů cizích.
38 And you must not forget the agreement that I made with your ancestors. You must not revere other gods.
Nadto na smlouvu, kterouž jsem učinil s vámi, nezapomínejte, aniž ctěte bohů cizích.
39 Instead, you must revere me, Yahweh, your God. If you do that, I will rescue you from the power [MTY] of all your enemies.”
Ale Hospodina Boha vašeho se bojte; onť vás vysvobodí z ruky všech nepřátel vašich.
40 But the people [from those foreign nations] would not heed what Yahweh said. Instead, they continued to adhere to their old customs.
A však neposlechli, ale vedlé obyčeje svého starého činili.
41 So, they worshiped Yahweh, but they also worshiped their idols. And their descendants still do the same thing.
A tak ti národové ctili Hospodina, a však proto rytinám svým sloužili. Takž i synové jejich a synové synů jejich vedlé toho, což činili otcové jejich, také činí až do dnešního dne.
