1. kniha Machabejcov

1 (KJV) Then took Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night;
1 (KAT) Gorgiáš vzal päťtisíc pešiakov a tisíc vybraných jazdcov a vyrazil s nimi v noci,

2 (KJV) To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.
2 (KAT) aby napadol Židov v ich tábore a porazil ich nenazdajky. Hradné mužstvo mu pritom robilo doprovod.

3 (KJV) Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Emmaus,
3 (KAT) Keď sa Júda o tom dozvedel, okamžite odtiahol so svojimi bojovníkmi, aby porazil kráľovské vojsko pri Emauzoch,

4 (KJV) While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp.
4 (KAT) pokým boli oddiely ešte ďaleko od jeho tábora.

5 (KJV) In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us
5 (KAT) A tak Gorgiáš v noci napadol Júdov tábor, ale nikoho tam nenašiel. I pátral po nich po horách, lebo sa nazdával: „Oni utekajú pred nami.“

6 (KJV) But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.
6 (KAT) Len čo sa rozodnilo, zjavil sa Júda s tritisíc mužmi na rovine. Nemali, pravda, toľko štítov a mečov, ako by si boli želali,

7 (KJV) And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.
7 (KAT) keď videli silne opevnený pohanský tábor a vôkol neho jazdcov, ktorí boli vycvičení v boji,

8 (KJV) Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
8 (KAT) ale Júda hovoril svojim mužom: „Neľakajte sa ich množstva a nebojte sa ich útoku!

9 (KJV) Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with an army.
9 (KAT) Rozpomeňte sa, ako sa zachránili naši otcovia, keď ich prenasledoval faraón s vojskom!

10 (KJV) Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:
10 (KAT) Volajme k nebu, aby sa zmiloval nad nami a rozpomenul sa na zmluvu s našimi otcami a aby dnes porazil toto vojsko pred našimi očami!

11 (KJV) That so all the heathen may know that there is one who delivereth and saveth Israel.
11 (KAT) Nech zvie celý pohanský svet, že Izrael má svojho vykupiteľa a osloboditeľa!“

12 (KJV) Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming over against them.
12 (KAT) Keď cudzinci zdvihli oči a videli, ako sa (Židia) hrnú proti nim,

13 (KJV) Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.
13 (KAT) vytiahli z tábora do boja. V tom Júdovi mužovia zatrúbili

14 (KJV) So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain.
14 (KAT) a rozpútal sa boj. Pohania boli porazení a utiekli do roviny.

15 (KJV) Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.
15 (KAT) Všetci oneskorenci popadali mečom; ostatných prenasledovali až po Gezeron, až po idumejské, azotské a jamnijské roviny. Padlo z nich asi tritisíc mužov.

16 (KJV) This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,
16 (KAT) Keď sa Júda vrátil s vojskom z prenasledovania,

17 (KJV) And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,
17 (KAT) povedal ľudu: „Nebažte po koristi, lebo ešte na nás čaká boj!

18 (KJV) And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.
18 (KAT) Blízo nás je Gorgiáš s vojskom na pohorí. Len sa teraz držte proti našim nepriateľom a bojujte proti nim! Potom si môžete spokojne pobrať korisť.“

19 (KJV) As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain:
19 (KAT) Kým Júda ešte hovoril, už sa zjavil akýsi oddiel, ktorý vyliezal z pohoria.

20 (KJV) Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:
20 (KAT) Hneď zbadal, že ich (ľudia) museli utrpieť porážku, lebo tábor bol v plameňoch a dym celkom zjavne prezrádzal, čo sa stalo.

21 (KJV) When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,
21 (KAT) Pri tomto pohľade ich pojal veľký strach. A keď zazreli ešte aj Júdovo vojsko na rovine, pripravené do boja,

22 (KJV) They fled every one into the land of strangers.
22 (KAT) utiekli všetci do filištínskej krajiny.

23 (KJV) Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
23 (KAT) Júda sa potom vrátil vyplieniť tábor. A nabrali si mnoho zlata, striebra, modrého a červeného purpuru a mnoho iných cenností.

24 (KJV) After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.
24 (KAT) Pri návrate prespevovali chválospevy a plesali k nebu: „Je dobrý a jeho milosrdenstvo trvá naveky.“

25 (KJV) Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.
25 (KAT) Toho dňa nastalo veľké vyslobodenie pre Izrael.

26 (KJV) Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened:
26 (KAT) Všetci cudzinci, ktorí sa zachránili, prišli k Lyziášovi a oznámili mu všetko, čo sa stalo.

27 (KJV) Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.
27 (KAT) Keď to počul, zarazil sa a zmalomyseľnel, pretože sa Izraelu nestalo podľa jeho priania a tiež preto, že nesplnil kráľov rozkaz.

28 (KJV) The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
28 (KAT) Preto nasledujúceho roku zobral Lyziáš šesťdesiattisíc vybraných mužov a päťtisíc jazdcov do boja proti nim.

29 (KJV) So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
29 (KAT) Vtiahli do Idumey a utáborili sa v Betsure. Júda sa postavil proti nim s desaťtisíc mužmi.

30 (KJV) And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;
30 (KAT) Keď videl silné vojsko, modlil sa takto: „Buď zvelebený, záchranca Izraela, ktorý si (kedysi) odrazil útok obra rukou svojho služobníka Dávida a tábor Filištíncov si vydal do rúk Šaulovho syna Jonatána a jeho zbrojnoša.

31 (KJV) Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:
31 (KAT) Zovri toto vojsko rukou svojho izraelského ľudu, nech vyjdú na hanbu so svojím vojskom a jazdectvom!

32 (KJV) Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:
32 (KAT) Zastraš ich! Zoslab ich bezočivú odvahu! Nech sa trasú pre svoju porážku!

33 (KJV) Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.
33 (KAT) Poraz ich mečom mužov, ktorí milujú teba, aby ťa piesňami zvelebovali všetci, ktorí poznali tvoje meno!“

34 (KJV) So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.
34 (KAT) Potom vyrazili proti sebe a v boji padlo asi päťtisíc mužov z Lyziášovho vojska.

35 (KJV) Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.
35 (KAT) Keď Lyziáš videl porážku svojich oddielov, ale aj odvahu Júdovho vojska, ako je odhodlané buď čestne žiť, alebo zomrieť, odtiahol do Antiochie. Najímal však žoldnierov, aby mohol s posilneným vojskom nanovo vtrhnúť do Judey.

36 (KJV) Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.
36 (KAT) Vtedy povedal Júda a jeho bratia: „Hľa, naši nepriatelia sú rozdrvení! Poďme teda, očistime svätyňu a znovu si ju posväťme!“

37 (KJV) Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.
37 (KAT) I zhromaždilo sa všetko vojsko a vystúpili na vrch Sion.

38 (KJV) And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down;
38 (KAT) Videli spustošenú svätyňu, oltár znesvätený, brány vypálené, v nádvoriach bujnelo krovie ako v lese alebo na horách, komôrky rozbúrané.

39 (KJV) They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads,
39 (KAT) Roztrhli si odev, žialili veľkým nariekaním a sypali si popol na hlavu.

40 (KJV) And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew an alarm with the trumpets, and cried toward heaven.
40 (KAT) Padli tvárou na zem, zatrúbili na signálových trúbach a volali k nebu.

41 (KJV) Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.
41 (KAT) Vtedy Júda určil mužov, ktorí mali bojovať proti tým, čo boli na hrade, kým oni nevyčistia svätyňu.

42 (KJV) So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:
42 (KAT) Potom vybral bezúhonných a Zákonu oddaných kňazov,

43 (KJV) Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place.
43 (KAT) ktorí očistili svätyňu a odniesli kamene (užívané pri modlárstve) na nečisté miesto.

44 (KJV) And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
44 (KAT) Ako sa tak radili, čo by mali urobiť so znesväteným oltárom na zápalné obety,

45 (KJV) They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,
45 (KAT) prišli na dobré riešenie, (že sa rozhodli) zbúrať ho, aby sa raz nestal predmetom potupy, že ho kedysi znesvätili pohania. Oltár teda zbúrali

46 (KJV) And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them.
46 (KAT) a kamene uložili na vhodnom mieste chrámového pahorku, pokým nevystúpi prorok a nerozhodne o nich ináč.

47 (KJV) Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;
47 (KAT) Potom, podľa predpisu zákona, dopravili neokresané kamene a postavili nový oltár podľa predošlého vzoru.

48 (KJV) And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts.
48 (KAT) Takisto vybudovali svätyňu a posvätili vnútrajšok chrámu a nádvoria.

49 (KJV) They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.
49 (KAT) Zhotovili nové sväté nádoby a priniesli do chrámu svietnik, kadidlový oltár a stôl.

50 (KJV) And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.
50 (KAT) A tak pálili na oltári kadidlo, zapálili na svietniku lampy a v chráme zažiarilo (svetlo),

51 (KJV) Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.
51 (KAT) položili na stôl chleby a zavesili opony, a tak šťastne dokončili celé svoje podujatie.

52 (KJV) Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
52 (KAT) Dvadsiateho piateho dňa deviateho mesiaca, čo je mesiac kislev, stoštyridsiateho ôsmeho roku včasráno vstali

53 (KJV) And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.
53 (KAT) a priniesli obetu podľa zákona na novopostavenom oltári na zápalné obety.

54 (KJV) Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.
54 (KAT) Práve v ten istý čas, toho istého dňa, keď ho pohania znesvätili, bol znovu vysvätený so spevmi za zvuku citár, hárf a cimbalov.

55 (KJV) Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.
55 (KAT) Všetok ľud padol na tvár; klaňali sa a zvelebovali (Boha) na nebi, ktorý im doprial toto šťastie.

56 (KJV) And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
56 (KAT) Osem dní slávili posvätenie oltára. S rozradostnenou mysľou prinášali celostné žertvy aj obety vďaky a chvály.

57 (KJV) They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.
57 (KAT) Zlatými vencami a štítkami vyzdobili priečelie chrámu; obnovili brány a komôrky a porobili k nim dvere.

58 (KJV) Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.
58 (KAT) V ľude zavládla mimoriadne veľká radosť, pretože bola odstránená potupa, (spôsobená) pohanmi.

59 (KJV) Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.
59 (KAT) Júda, jeho bratia a všetci z Izraela rozhodli, aby sa každoročne slávili dni posvätenia oltára osem dní od dvadsiateho piateho mesiaca kisleva s veselosťou a radosťou.

60 (KJV) At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.
60 (KAT) V tom čase vybudovali okolo Sionského vrchu vysoké múry a silné veže, aby ich pohania, keby niekedy došli, nezbúrali (tak ľahko) ako predtým.

61 (KJV) And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.
61 (KAT) Tiež tu postavili posádku, aby strážila (miesto). Na obranu (krajiny) opevnili aj Betsuru, aby mal národ pevnosť proti Edomsku.
