Jeremiáš 37
1 Potom kraloval král Sedechiáš syn Joziášův místo Koniáše syna Joakimova, kteréhož ustanovil králem Nabuchodonozor král Babylonský v zemi Judské.
And then king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned in place of Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, appointed him as king in the land of Judah.
2 Ale neposlouchal on, ani služebníci jeho, ani lid té země slov Hospodinových, kteráž mluvil skrze Jeremiáše proroka.
And neither he himself, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, obeyed the words of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Jeremiah, the prophet.
3 Ač byl poslal Sedechiáš Jehuchale syna Selemiášova a Sofoniáše syna Maaseiášova, kněze, k Jeremiášovi proroku, aby řekli: Modl se medle za nás Hospodinu Bohu našemu.
And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Pray to the Lord our God for us.”
4 Nebo Jeremiáš ještě bydlil svobodně u prostřed lidu, aniž ho ještě byli dali do žaláře.
Now Jeremiah was walking freely in the midst of the people. For they had not yet sent him into the custody of the prison.
5 A vojsko Faraonovo bylo vytáhlo z Egypta; (nebo uslyšavše Kaldejští, kteříž oblehli byli Jeruzalém, pověst o nich, odtrhli od Jeruzaléma).
And then the army of Pharaoh went forth from Egypt. And hearing this, the Chaldeans, who were besieging Jerusalem, withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 Stalo se pak slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi proroku, řkoucí:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
7 Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Takto rcete králi Judskému, kterýž vás poslal ke mně, abyste se radili se mnou: Aj, vojsko Faraonovo, kteréž potáhne vám na pomoc, navrátí se zase do země své Egyptské.
“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: So shall you say to the king of Judah, who sent you to question me: Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which has gone forth in assistance to you, will return to their own land, into Egypt.
8 Kaldejští pak navrátí se zase, a bojovati budou proti městu tomuto, a vezmouce je, vypálí je ohněm.
And the Chaldeans will return and will make war against this city. And they will seize it and burn it with fire.
9 Takto praví Hospodin: Nesvoďte sami sebe, říkajíce: Konečně odtrhnou od nás Kaldejští, neboť neodtrhnou.
Thus says the Lord: Do not be willing to deceive your own souls, saying: ‘The Chaldeans will certainly withdraw and go away from us.’ For they will not go away.
10 Nýbrž byste pobili všecko vojsko Kaldejských bojujících s vámi, tak že by pozůstali z nich toliko ranění, tiť z stanů svých povstanou, a toto město ohněm vypálí.
But even if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and if there were left behind from among them only a few wounded men, they would rise up, each one from his tent, and they would burn this city with fire.”
11 Stalo se pak, když odtrhlo vojsko Kaldejské od Jeruzaléma před vojskem Faraonovým,
Therefore, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Že vycházel Jeremiáš z Jeruzaléma, jíti chtěje do země Beniaminovy, aby tak vynikl z prostředku lidu.
Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, and to distribute a possession there, in the sight of the citizens.
13 Když pak byl v bráně Beniaminské, byl tu hejtman nad stráží, jménem Jiriáš syn Selemiáše, syna Chananiášova, kterýž jal Jeremiáše proroka, řka: K Kaldejským ty ustupuješ.
And when he had arrived at the gate of Benjamin, the keeper of the gate, whose turn it was to be there, was named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he apprehended Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.”
14 Jemuž řekl Jeremiáš: Není pravda, neustupujiť já k Kaldejským. Ale nechtěl ho slyšeti, nýbrž jal Jiriáš Jeremiáše, a dovedl jej k knížatům.
And Jeremiah responded: “That is false. I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans.” But he did not listen to him. And so Irijah took Jeremiah, and he brought him to the leaders.
15 Tedy rozhněvavše se knížata na Jeremiáše, ubili jej, a dali jej do vězení, do domu Jonatana písaře; nebo z něho byli udělali žalář.
Therefore, the leaders were angry with Jeremiah, and so they beat him and sent him to the prison that was in the house of Jonathan, the scribe. For he was the chief over the prison.
16 Když pak vešel Jeremiáš do té jámy a do sklípků jejích, a seděl tam Jeremiáš mnoho dní.
And so Jeremiah went into the house of the prison and into a dungeon. And Jeremiah sat there for many days.
17 Teprv poslav král Sedechiáš, vzal jej, a tázal se ho král v domě svém tajně, řka: Stalo-li se slovo od Hospodina? Jemuž řekl Jeremiáš: Stalo. Potom řekl: V ruku krále Babylonského vydán budeš.
Then Zedekiah the king, sending, took him out and questioned him secretly in his house, and he said: “Do you think that there is any word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said: “There is.” And he said: “You will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.”
18 Při tom řekl Jeremiáš králi Sedechiášovi: Coť jsem zavinil aneb služebníkům tvým, aneb lidu tomuto, že jste mne dali do žaláře tohoto?
And Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah: “How have I sinned against you, or your servants, or your people, such that you would cast me into a house of imprisonment?
19 A kdež jsou proroci vaši, kteříž prorokují vám, říkajíce: Nepřitáhneť král Babylonský na vás, ani na zemi tuto?
Where are your prophets, who were prophesying to you, and who were saying: ‘The king of Babylon will not overwhelm you and this land?’
20 Nyní tedy slyš, žádám, pane můj králi, nechť, prosím, místo má před tebou pokorná prosba má; nedopouštěj mne zase voditi do domu Jonatana písaře, abych tam neumřel.
Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king. Let my petition prevail in your sight. And do not send me back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
21 I přikázal král Sedechiáš, aby vsadili Jeremiáše do síně stráže, a dávali jemu pecník chleba na den z ulice pekařů, dokudž by nebyl vytráven všecken chléb v městě. A tak seděl Jeremiáš v síni stráže.
Then king Zedekiah instructed that Jeremiah be confined to the vestibule of the prison, and that they should give him a twist of bread daily, along with stew, until all the bread in the city had been consumed. And Jeremiah remained at the entrance of the prison.
