Jeremiáš 15

1 Tedy řekl Hospodin ke mně: Byť se postavil Mojžíš i Samuel před oblíčejem mým, nikoli srdce nemohu míti k lidu tomuto. Pusť je ode mne, a nechť jdou pryč.

Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’

2 A řeknou-liť: Kam bychom šli? tedy díš jim: Takto praví Hospodin: Kdo k smrti, na smrt, a kdo k meči, pod meč, a kdo k hladu, k hladu, a kdo k zajetí, do zajetí.

And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].

3 Představím zajisté jim to čtvero, dí Hospodin: Meč k zmordování, a psy, aby je rozsmýkali, a ptactvo nebeské i zvěř zemskou, aby je sežrala a zkazila.

I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].

4 A musejí se smýkati po všech královstvích země příčinou Manassesa syna Ezechiášova, krále Judského, pro ty věci, kteréž páchal v Jeruzalémě.

Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.

5 Nebo kdo by se slitoval nad tebou, Jeruzaléme? A kdo by tě politoval? Aneb kdo by přišel, aby se zeptal, jakť se vede?

You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).

6 Tys opustil mne, dí Hospodin, odšels nazpět; protož vztáhnu ruku svou na tebe, abych tě zkazil. Ustal jsem, želeje.

You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.

7 Protož přetříbím je věječkou skrze brány země této, na sirobu přivedu a zkazím lid svůj, nebo se od cest svých nenavracují.

At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.

8 Větší bude počet vdov jeho než písku mořského. Přivedu na ně, na matky, na mládence zhoubce i v poledne; způsobím to, aby náhle připadli na to město, i budou zděšeni.

I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.

9 Zemdlí i ta, kteráž rodívala po sedmerém; vypustí duši svou, zapadne jí slunce ještě ve dne, hanbiti a styděti se bude. Ostatek pak jich vydám pod meč před oblíčejem nepřátel jejich, dí Hospodin.

A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”

10 Běda mně, matko má, že jsi mne porodila, muže sváru a muže různice vší zemi. Nepůjčoval jsem jim, aniž mi oni půjčovali, a každý mi zlořečí.

[I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”

11 I řekl Hospodin: Zdaliž tobě, kterýž pozůstaneš, nebude dobře? Zdaliž nebudu tvým zástupcím u nepřítele v čas trápení a v čas ssoužení?

But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”

12 Zdaliž železo poláme půlnoční železo a ocel?

[Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.

13 Jmění tvé, ó Judo, i poklady tvé vydám v rozchvátání darmo, po všech končinách tvých, a to pro všelijaké hříchy tvé.

I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.

14 A způsobím to, že musíš jíti s nepřátely svými do země cizí, když oheň zanícený v prchlivosti mé na vás pálati bude.

I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”

15 Ty znáš mne, Hospodine, rozpomeň se na mne, a navštěv mne, a pomsti mne nad těmi, kteříž dotírají na mne. Shovívaje jim, nezachvacuj mne; věz, že snáším pro tebe pohanění.

[Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.

16 Když se naskytly řeči tvé, snědl jsem je, a měl jsem slovo tvé za radost a potěšení srdce svého, poněvadž jsi ty mne povolal sám, ó Hospodine Bože zástupů.

Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]

17 Nesedám v radě posměvačů, aniž pléši; pro přísnost tvou samotný sedám, nebo prchlivostí naplnils mne.

When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].

18 Proč má býti bolest má věčná, a rána má smrtelná, kteráž se nechce zhojiti? Proč mi býti máš naprosto jako oklamavatelný, jako vody nestálé?

So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”

19 Protož takto praví Hospodin: Jestliže se obrátíš, také tě zase obrátím, abys stál před oblíčejem mým; oddělíš-li věc drahou od ničemné, jako ústa má budeš. Nechť se oni obrátí k tobě, ty pak neobracej se k nim.

Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.

20 Nebo jsem tě postavil proti lidu tomuto jako zed měděnou pevnou. Kteříž bojovati budou proti tobě, ale neodolají tobě; nebo já jsem s tebou, abych tě vysvobozoval a vytrhoval, dí Hospodin.

They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.

21 Vytrhnu tě zajisté z rukou nešlechetníků, a vykoupím tě z ruky násilníků.

[Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
