+šťastnému) replacement of the current disaster for times when the Lord
+will grant FIXME rozvlažení. So whatever books you find, old or new,
+accept it from my sons, have it as your own for the best use you can
+see!
+
+Sixth, I bequest you better youth, more dilligent, better in excercise,
+than it used to be. It was my mistkae to entrust my youth to alien, who
+led my sons to various passions [FIXME povášnili] and damaged them
+[FIXME pokazili]. If the God liked to return me back to better times
+I would took care to do better in this. However, I have lost all hope
+for myself, so I ask you, my beloved country, I swear [FIXME prosím se
+zapřísaháním] to do it yourself. Some of my sons worked on this [#]_ and
+prepared better methods of teaching for youth, which some other nations
+without difference of their religion are starting to use, but it belongs
+to you in the first place, do not neglect your inheritance, which my
+sons will be lead to when the time comes!!
+
+In total, all my inheritance, as ashes after the fire, I bequest to you,
+my beloved country, so that you can make FIXME louh from it for cleaning
+your children, in the same manner as the Lord did for me in the
+begginings when he risen up us and my children from the ashes of Hus.

-Ale což více mluviti? Přestati mi přijde a rozžehnati se s tebou, vlasti
-milá! Ale jakžpak? Jako Jákob patriarcha, na smrtedlné posteli své
-žehnaje se s syny svými, a dával jim požehnáni; jako i Mojžíš, odcházeje
-od lidu svého; z jejichž úst já vezmouc slova, tobě, národe český, na
-rozžehnanou požehnání vyhlašuji od Hospodina Boha tvého, abys ty předce
-byl a zůstával ratolestí rostoucí, ratolestí rostoucí podle studnic,
-ratolestí rostoucí nad zeď. Ačkoli hořkostí naplnili tebe a stříleli na
-tebe, v tajné nenávistí měvše tě střelci [#]_, zůstaniž však v síle
-lučiště tvé a zsilte se ramena rukou tvých z rukou Mocného Jákobova
-[#]_, od silného Boha, jemuž sloužili otcové tvoji, kterýž spomáhá tobě,
-a od Všemohoucího, kterýž požehná tobě požehnáním nebeským s hůry [#]_,
-požehnáním propasti ležící hluboko, požehnáním prsů a života! Požehnáni
-silnější při tobě buď nad požehnání předků mých, až ke končinám pahrbků
-věčných (1. Mojž. 49, 22 etc.)!
-
-Živ buď, národe posvěcený Bohu, a neumírej; muži tvoji ať jsou bez
-počtu! Požehnejž, ó Hospodine, rytěřování [#]_ jeho a v práci rukou jeho
-zalib se tobě! Slomuj [#]_ ledví [#]_ nepřátel jeho a těch, kteříž ho
-nenávidí, aby nepovstali! Přijdiž čas tvůj, aby říkali národové:
-Blahoslavený jsi, Izraeli [#]_; kdo jest podobný tobě, lide vysvobozený
-skrze Hospodina, jenž jest pavéza [#]_ spomožení tvého a meč důstojnosti
-tvé? Tvoji zajisté nepřátelé padnou, ale ty po vyvýšenosti jejich
-šlapati budeš (5.  Mojž.  33, 6. 11. 29).

+But what more can I say? It is time to stop and say farewell to you
+[FIXME rozžehnati se s tebou], my beloved country! But how? In the same
+manner Jacob the patriarch on his death bed blessed his sons [FIXME
+žehnaje se syny svými dával jim požehnání]; as Moses when he was leaving
+his people. From their mouth I take words and I as a farewell declare
+a blessing for you, the Czech nation, from your LORD God, so that you
+may be and remain a growing branch over the wall. Even though they
+filled you with bitterness and shot at you, because archers hated you
+with a secret hate, remain your bow unmoved, and your arms agile by the
+hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the mighty God to whom your fathers
+serve, who helps you, and from the Almighty who will bless you with the
+blessing of heaven above, blessings of the deep that crouches beneath,
+blessings of the breasts and of the womb! Let your blessings be mighty
+beyond the blessings of my ancestors, up to the bounties of the
+everlasting hills. (Gen 49,22-26, translated according to the Czech
+text)
+
+Be alive, nation blessed for the God, and do not die; may your men be
+countless (Deut. 33:6 [#]_)! Bless, O Lord, your fighting, and accept
+the work your hands. Crush the loins of your adversaries, of those who
+hate you, that they rise not again (Deut. 33:11 according to the Czech
+text)! Let your time come, so that nations will say: Happy are you,
+O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of
+your help, and the sword of your triumph!  Your enemies shall come
+fawning to you, and you shall tread upon their backs. (Deut 33:29)
+
+Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah
+(Psalm 3:9)
