Jeremiáš 8
1 V ten čas, dí Hospodin, vyberou kosti králů Judských, i kosti knížat jejich, i kosti kněží, i kosti proroků, ano i kosti obyvatelů Jeruzalémských z hrobů jejich,
Yahweh says, “At the time [that your corpses are scattered on the ground], [your enemies will] break open the graves of your kings and [other] officials who lived in Judah, and the graves of your priests and prophets and other people who lived there.
2 A rozmecí je proti slunci a měsíci, i proti všemu vojsku nebeskému, kteréž milují, a kterýmž slouží, a za kterýmiž chodí, a kterýchž hledají, a kterýmž se klanějí. Nebudou sebrány, ani pochovány, budou místo hnoje na svrchku země.
They will take out their bones [from their graves] and [dishonor them by] scattering them on the ground under the sun and the moon and the stars— those are the gods which my people loved and served and worshiped. No one will gather up their bones and bury them [again]; they will remain scattered on the ground like dung.
3 I bude žádostivější smrt nežli život všechněm ostatkům těm, kteříž pozůstanou z rodiny této nešlechetné na všech místech, kdež by koli pozůstali, tam kamž je zaženu, dí Hospodin zástupů.
And all the people of this wicked nation [who are still alive and] whom I have exiled to other countries will say, ‘We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive [here in these countries].’ [That will be true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Protož díš jim: Takto praví Hospodin: Tak-liž padli, aby nemohli povstati? Tak-liž se odvrátil, aby se nemohl zase navrátiti?
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], tell the people that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to them: ‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not [RHQ]? When people are going along a road and find out that they are walking on the wrong road, they go back [and find the correct road], do they not [RHQ]?
5 Proč se odvrátil lid tento Jeruzalemský odvrácením věčným? Chytají se lsti, a nechtí se navrátiti.
[Yes, they do], so why do these people [of Judah] continue [trusting in those idols that have deceived them]? They continue turning away from me, [even though I have warned them].
6 Pozoroval jsem a poslouchal. Nemluví, což pravého jest; není, kdo by želel zlosti své, říkaje: Což jsem učinil? Každý obrácen jest k běhu svému jako kůň, kterýž prudce běží k boji.
I have listened carefully [DOU] [to what they say], but they do not say what they should say. Not one of them is sorry for having sinned. No one says, “I have done [RHQ] wicked things.” They are [sinning and] doing what they want to as fast as [SIM] a horse that is running into a battle.
7 Ješto čáp u povětří zná nařízené časy své, a hrdlička i řeřáb i vlaštovice šetří času příletu svého, lid pak můj nezná soudu Hospodinova.
All the birds [that fly south for the (winter/cold season)] know the time that they need to fly south, and they all return at the right time the following year. But my people [are not like those birds]! They do not know what [I], Yahweh, require them to do.
8 Jakž můžete říci: Moudří jsme a zákon Hospodinův máme? Aj, jistě nadarmo dělá písař péro, nadarmo jsou v zákoně zběhlí.
Your men who teach you [the laws that Moses wrote] have been saying false things [about those laws]. [So], why [RHQ] do they [continue] saying, “We are [very] wise [because] we have the laws of Yahweh”?
9 Kohož zahanbili ti moudří? Kdo jsou předěšeni a jati? Aj, slovem Hospodinovým pohrdají, jakáž tedy jest moudrost jejich?
Those teachers, who think that [IRO] they are wise, will be ashamed/disgraced and dismayed when they are taken [to other countries by their enemies] because they sinned by rejecting what I told them. Truly, they were not [RHQ] very wise to do that!
10 A protož dám ženy jejich jiným, pole jejich těm, kteříž by je opanovali; nebo od nejmenšího až do největšího všickni napořád vydali se v lakomství, od proroka až do kněze všickni napořád provodí faleš.
So, I will give their wives to other men; I will give their fields to [the enemy soldiers] who conquer them. All the people, including those who are important and those who are not important, deceive [others] in order to obtain their possessions. Even [my] prophets and my priests do that.
11 Nebo hojí potření dcery lidu mého po vrchu, říkajíce: Pokoj, pokoj, ješto není žádného pokoje.
[They act as though the sins of my people] are not serious, [like] [MET] wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged. They tell the people that everything will go well with them, [but that is not true]; things will not go well with them.
12 Jsou-liž zahanbováni, proto že ohavnost páchali? Ba ani se co ustydli, ani zahanbiti uměli. Protož padnou, když oni padati budou; v čas, v němž je navštívím, klesnou, praví Hospodin.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed when they do disgusting things [RHQ], but they do not even know how to show on their faces that they are ashamed [about their sins]. So, [they will be killed, and] their corpses [also] will lie among the corpses of others who have been slaughtered [by their enemies]. They will be killed when I punish them.
13 Do konce vykořením je, dí Hospodin. Nebude žádného hroznu na vinném kmenu, ani žádných fíků na fíku, ano i list sprchne, a což dám jim, odjato bude.
I will [allow their enemies to] take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields. Their fruit trees will all wither. They will not receive [all] the blessings that I prepared for them. [This will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
14 Proč my tu sedíme? Shromažďte se, a vejděme do měst hrazených, a odpočineme tam. Ale Hospodin Bůh náš káže odpočívati nám, když vodou jedovatou napojí nás, proto že jsme hřešili proti Hospodinu.
[Then the people will say], “(Why should we wait here [in these small towns]?/We should not wait here [in these small towns].) [RHQ]! We should go to the cities that have high walls around them, [but even if we do that] we will be killed there, because Yahweh our God has decided that we must be destroyed; [it is as though] [MET] he has given us a cup of poison to drink, because we sinned against him.
15 Èekej pokoje, ale nic dobrého, času uzdravení, ale aj, hrůza.
We hoped/desired that things would go well for us, but things have not gone well. We hoped that bad things would not happen to us any more, but only things that terrify us [are happening to us].
16 Od Dan slyšeti frkání koní jeho, od hlasu prokřikování silných jeho všecka země se třese, kteříž táhnou, aby zžírali zemi i všecko, což jest na ní, město i ty, kteříž bydlejí v něm.
People [far north in Israel] in [the city of] Dan can already hear the snorting of the horses of their enemies [who are preparing to attack us]. [It is as though] the entire land [of Judah] is shaking as their army approaches; they are coming to destroy our land and everything in it, the people and the cities.”
17 Nebo aj, já pošli na vás hady nejjedovatější, proti nimž nic neprospívá zaklínání, a štípati vás budou, dí Hospodin.
[Yahweh says], “I will send [those enemy soldiers to Judah], and they will be like [MET] poisonous snakes among you. No one will be able to stop them from attacking you [MET]; they will attack you like snakes do, [and kill you].”
18 Srdce mé ve mně, kteréž by mne mělo občerstvovati v zármutku, mdlé jest.
I grieve very much [for the people of Judah], and my grieving does not end. I am very sad [IDM].
19 Aj, hlas křiku dcery lidu mého z země velmi daleké: Zdali Hospodina není na Sionu? Zdali krále jeho není na něm? Proč mne popouzeli rytinami svými, marnostmi cizozemců?
Throughout our land, the people ask, “Has Yahweh abandoned Jerusalem? Is [he], our city’s king, no longer there?” [Yahweh replies], “Why do the people cause me to become very angry by [worshiping] idols and foreign gods?” [RHQ]
20 Pominula žeň, dokonalo se léto, a my nejsme vyproštěni.
[The people say], “The harvest [season] is finished, the (summer/hot season) has ended, [and we hoped that we would receive blessings from Yahweh], but he has not rescued us [from our enemies].”
21 Pro potření dcery lidu mého potřín jsem, smutek nesu, užasnutí podjalo mne.
I cry because my people have been crushed. I mourn, and I am completely dismayed.
22 Což není žádného lékařství v Galád? Což není žádného lékaře tam? Proč tedy není zhojena dcera lidu mého?
[I ask], “Surely there is [RHQ] medicinal balm in the Gilead [region]! Surely there are [RHQ] doctors there!” But my people have been badly wounded [in their spirits], and nothing can heal them.
