Jeremiáš 29
1 Tato jsou slova listu, kterýž poslal Jeremiáš prorok z Jeruzaléma k ostatku starších zajatých a k kněžím i k prorokům i ke všemu lidu, kterýž přestěhoval Nabuchodonozor z Jeruzaléma do Babylona,
After King Jehoiachin, his mother, his palace officials, other officials in Judah, and all the various kinds of craftsmen [DOU] had been exiled to Babylon, I wrote a letter to the elders, the priests, the prophets and all the other people who had been taken from Jerusalem to Babylon by [soldiers of] Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Když vyšel Jekoniáš král a královna, i komorníci, knížata Judská i Jeruzalémská, tolikéž tesaři i kováři z Jeruzaléma,
3 Po Elasovi synu Safanovu, a Gemariášovi synu Helkiášovu, (kteréž byl poslal Sedechiáš král Judský k králi Babylonskému do Babylona), řka:
[I gave] the letter to Elasah the son of Shaphan, and to Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, when they were about to go to Babylon to be ambassadors from King Zedekiah to King Nebuchadnezzar. This is what I wrote in the letter:
4 Takto praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský, všechněm zajatým, kteréž jsem přestěhoval z Jeruzaléma do Babylona:
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says to all you people who were captured [here] in Jerusalem and taken [there] to Babylon:
5 Stavějte domy, a osazujte se, štěpujte také štěpnice, a jezte ovoce jejich.
“Build houses [there], and plan to stay there [because you will be there for many years]. Plant gardens, and eat the food that is produced in the gardens.
6 Pojímejte ženy, a ploďte syny i dcery, dávejte také synům svým ženy, dcery též své dávejte za muže, ať rodí syny a dcery; množte se tam, a nebeřte umenšení.
Get married and have children. Then [when they grow up], choose wives for your sons, and husbands for your daughters, in order that they [also] may have children. [In that way], the number of you people will increase, not decrease.
7 A hledejte pokoje města toho, do kteréhož jsem zastěhoval vás, a modlívejte se za ně Hospodinu; nebo v pokoji jeho budete míti pokoj.
Also, do things that will cause things to go well [for the other people there] in the city where I sent you. Pray that things will go well for [the people in] that city, because if things go well for them, things will go well for you, [also].”
8 Takto zajisté praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský: Nechť vás nesvodí proroci vaši, kteříž jsou mezi vámi, ani hadači vaši, a nespravujte se sny svými, jichž vy příčinou jste, aby je mívali.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says: “There are [false] prophets and fortune-tellers among you. Do not allow them to deceive you. Do not pay attention to [them when they tell you] their dreams,
9 Nebo vám oni lživě prorokují ve jménu mém; neposlalť jsem jich, dí Hospodin.
because they are telling you lies, saying that [MTY] [I have given them the messages that they are telling you]. But, I have not appointed them.”
10 Takto zajisté praví Hospodin: Že jakž se jen vyplní Babylonu sedmdesáte let, navštívím vás, a potvrdím vám slova svého výborného o navrácení vás na místo toto.
This is [also] what Yahweh says: “After you [and your children] have been in Babylon for seventy years, I will help you, and do for you the things that I promised, and I will enable you to return here [to Jerusalem].
11 Nebo já nejlépe znám myšlení, kteráž myslím o vás, dí Hospodin, myšlení o pokoji, a ne o trápení, abych učinil vašemu očekávání konec přežádostivý.
I, Yahweh, know what I have planned for you. I am planning to cause things to go well for you, not to cause you to experience disasters. I am planning to give you many things that you confidently expect to receive in the future.
12 Když mne vzývati budete, a půjdete, a modliti se mně budete, tedy vyslyším vás.
At that time, when you pray, I will heed you.
13 A hledajíce mne, naleznete, když mne hledati budete celým srdcem svým.
If you earnestly desire for me [to bless you], you will experience me [blessing you].
14 Dám se zajisté nalezti vám, dí Hospodin, a přivedu zase zajaté vaše, a shromáždím vás ze všech národů i ze všech míst, kamžkoli jsem zahnal vás, dí Hospodin, a uvedu vás zase na místo toto, odkudž jsem vás zastěhoval,
I will make my help available to you [IDM]. I will cause you to no longer be slaves [in Babylon]. I will gather you from all the nations to which I have exiled you, and I will bring you back [here to your own land], to the place from which you were taken.”
15 Když řeknete: Vzbuzovalť nám Hospodin proroky v Babyloně.
[Some of] you say that Yahweh has appointed prophets for you [there] in Babylon.
16 Nebo takto praví Hospodin o králi sedícím na stolici Davidově, a o všem lidu obývajícím v městě tomto, bratřích vašich, kteříž nevyšli s vámi v tom zajetí,
But this is what Yahweh says about the king who rules [here] in Jerusalem, and about all the other people who are [still] living here—your relatives who were not taken to Babylon with you.
17 Takto dí Hospodin zástupů: Aj, já pošli na ně meč, hlad a mor, a naložím s nimi jako s fíky trpkými, kterýchž nelze jísti pro trpkost.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “I will cause them to experience wars and famines and diseases. I will cause them to become like [SIM] bad figs that are very rotten, with the result that no one can eat them.
18 Nebo stihati je budu mečem, hladem i morem, a vydám je ku posmýkání po všech královstvích země, k proklínání, a k užasnutí, anobrž na odivu, a k utrhání mezi všemi národy, tam kdež je vypudím,
I will not stop causing them to experience wars and famines and diseases. And I will scatter them all around the world. In every country where I (force them to be taken/exile them), I will cause them to be people whom [others] curse and be horrified about and make fun of [DOU].
19 Proto že neposlouchají slov mých, dí Hospodin, když posílám k nim služebníky své proroky, ráno přivstávaje, a to ustavičně, a neposlouchali jste, dí Hospodin.
[That will happen] because they have refused to pay attention to my messages, messages that I gave to the prophets whom I sent to them. And you [who have been exiled to Babylon] have not paid attention to them, [either].” [That is what] Yahweh says.
20 Protož slyštež vy slovo Hospodinovo, všickni zajatí, kteréž jsem vyslal z Jeruzaléma do Babylona.
[Therefore], you people who have been (exiled/forced to go) from Jerusalem to Babylon, listen to this message from Yahweh.
21 Takto praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský, o Achabovi synu Kolaiášovu, a o Sedechiášovi synu Maaseiášovu, kteříž prorokují vám ve jménu mém lež: Aj, já vydám je v ruku Nabuchodonozora krále Babylonského, aby je zbil před očima vašima.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says about Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are telling lies to you, saying that they are giving messages [MTY] from him: “They will be seized and taken to [MTY] King Nebuchadnezzar, who will cause them to be executed while you are watching.
22 I bude vzato na nich klnutí mezi všecky zajaté Judské, kteříž jsou v Babyloně, aby říkali: Nechť nakládá Hospodin s tebou, jako s Sedechiášem a jako s Echabem, kteréž upekl král Babylonský na ohni,
Because of [what will happen to] them, all you people who have been taken from Judah to Babylon will say this when they curse someone: ‘I hope/wish that Yahweh will do to you the same thing that he did to Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the King of Babylon caused to be [killed by being] burned in a fire.’
23 Proto že páchali nešlechetnost v Izraeli, cizoložíce s ženami bližních svých, a mluvíce slovo ve jménu mém lživě, čehož jsem nepřikázal jim. Já pak o tom vím, a jsem toho i svědkem, dí Hospodin.
They have done terrible things to [my] Israeli people. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and they have spoken lies, saying that they were messages [MTY] from me. They have said things that I did not tell them to say, and I, Yahweh, have heard them [say those things].”
24 Semaiášovi Nechelamitskému mluv, řka:
[Yahweh told me to] send this message to Shemaiah, a man from Nehelam [town who was living in Babylon]:
25 Takto praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský, řka: Proto že jsi poslal jménem svým listy ke všemu lidu, kterýž jest v Jeruzalémě, a Sofoniášovi synu Maaseiášovu knězi i ke všechněm kněžím, řka:
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “You wrote a letter that no one told you to write. You sent it to Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, and [you sent copies] to the other priests and all the [other] people here in Jerusalem. [This is what] you wrote to him:
26 Hospodin dal tě za kněze na místo Joiady kněze, abyste pozor měli v domě Hospodinově na každého muže pošetilého a vystavujícího se za proroka, a abys dal takového do žaláře a do klady.
[Zephaniah], Yahweh has appointed you to be the priest instead of Jehoiada, to supervise those who work in the temple. Anyone who acts like a crazy man and who claims that he is a prophet, you should put his arms and legs and head into (stocks/a wooden frame [so that he cannot move)].
27 Pročež jsi pak nyní neokřikl Jeremiáše Anatotského, kterýž se vám vystavuje za proroka?
So why have you not done anything to stop Jeremiah, the man from Anathoth [town], who [pretends that he] is a prophet among you?
28 Nebo posílal k nám do Babylona, řka: Protáhneť se to dlouho, stavějte domy, a osazujte se, štěpujte také štěpnice, a jezte ovoce jejich.
He sent a letter to us [who are here] in Babylon, saying that [we will be here for] a long time. He said that [therefore] we should build houses and plan to stay here, and plant gardens, and eat the food that is produced in the gardens.”
29 Nebo Sofoniáš kněz četl ten list před Jeremiášem prorokem.
[But when] Zephaniah the priest [received] the letter from you, he [brought it to me and] read it to me.
30 I stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi, řkoucí:
Then Yahweh gave me this message:
31 Pošli ke všechněm zajatým, řka: Takto praví Hospodin o Semaiášovi Nechelamitském: Proto že prorokuje vám Semaiáš, ješto jsem já ho neposlal, a přivodí vás k tomu, abyste doufání skládali ve lži,
“Send this message to all the people [from Judah] who are there [in Babylon]. Say that this is what Yahweh says about Shemaiah, the man from Nehelam: ‘I did not appoint him, but he has deceived you and caused you to believe the lies that he prophesied.
32 Protož takto praví Hospodin: Aj, já trestati budu Semaiáše Nechelamitského i símě jeho. Nebude míti žádného, kdo by bydlil u prostřed lidu tohoto, aniž uzří toho dobrého, kteréž já učiním lidu svému, dí Hospodin; nebo mluvil to, čímž by odvrátil lid od Hospodina.
So, I will punish him and his family. He has incited you to rebel against me. Because of that, all of his descendants will soon die. I will do [many] good things for [you], my people, but he and his descendants will not see those things, [because they will be dead]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!’”
