Plaè 2
1 Jak hustým oblakem prchlivosti své přikryl Pán dceru Sionskou! Shodil s nebe na zem slávu Izraelovu, aniž se rozpomenul na podnože noh svých v den prchlivosti své.
Yahweh was extremely angry [with us]; as a result, [it was as though] [MET] he covered Jerusalem with a dark cloud. Previously it was a beautiful/glorious city, but he has caused it to become a ruins. At the time he punished [MET] Israel, he [even] abandoned his temple [MET] [in Jerusalem].
2 Sehltil Pán beze vší lítosti všecky příbytky Jákobovy, zbořil v prchlivosti své ohrady dcery Judské, udeřil jimi o zem, v potupu uvedl království i knížata její.
Yahweh destroyed the homes of [the people of] [PRS] Judah; he did not act mercifully. Because he was very angry, he broke down the fortresses of Judah. He has caused our kingdom and our rulers to become disgraced, and he has gotten rid of them.
3 Odťal v rozpálení hněvu všecken roh Izraelův, odvrátil zpět pravici svou od nepřítele, a rozpáliv se proti Jákobovi jako oheň plápolající, pálí do cela vůkol.
Because he was extremely angry, he has caused Israel to not be powerful [MET] any more. He has refused to assist us when our enemies attacked us. He has destroyed Israel like [SIM] a raging fire destroys everything.
4 Natáhl lučiště své jako nepřítel, postavil pravici svou jako protivník, i zbil všecky nejzdařilejší z lidu, a vylil do stánku dcery Sionské jako oheň prchlivost svou.
He bent his bow [to prepare to shoot us, his people], as though we were his enemies. He [prepared to] kill the people whom we love the most [MET], members of our own families. He is extremely angry [MTY] with us people of Jerusalem; his anger is like [SIM] a fire.
5 Učiněn jest Pán podobný nepříteli, sehltil Izraele, sehltil všecky paláce jeho, zkazil ohrady jeho, a rozmnožil v lidu Judském zámutek a žalost.
Yahweh has become like an enemy to [us] Israelis; he has destroyed our palaces and caused our fortresses to become ruins. He has gotten rid of many people in Jerusalem, and caused us to mourn and weep [for those who were killed].
6 Mocí zajisté odtrhl jako od zahrady plot svůj, zkazil stánek svůj, v zapomenutí uvedl Hospodin na Sionu slavnost a sobotu, a v prchlivosti hněvu svého zavrhl krále i kněze.
He has caused his temple to be smashed [as easily] as [SIM] if it was a shelter in a garden. He has caused [us, his people], to forget all our sacred festivals and Sabbath days. He has caused [our] kings and priests to be rejected because he was extremely angry with them.
7 Zavrhl Pán oltář svůj, v ošklivost vzal svatyni svou, vydal v ruku nepřítele zdi a paláce Sionské; křičeli v domě Hospodinově jako v den slavnosti.
Yahweh has rejected his own altar and abandoned his temple. He has allowed [our] enemies to tear down the walls of [our temple and] our palaces. They shout [victoriously] in the temple of Yahweh, like we [previously shouted] during our sacred festivals.
8 Uložiltě Hospodin zkaziti zed dcery Sionské, roztáhl šňůru, a neodvrátil ruky své od zhouby; pročež val i zed kvílí, a spolu mdlejí.
Yahweh was determined to cause the walls of our city [MTY] to be torn down. [It was as though] he measured the walls and [then he completely] destroyed [MTY] them. [It was as though] he caused the towers and walls to lament/weep, [because they were now ruins].
9 Poraženy jsou na zem brány její, zkazil a polámal závory její; král její i knížata její mezi pohany. Není ani zákona, proroci také její nemívají vidění od Hospodina.
The city gates have collapsed; the bars that fastened the gates shut have been smashed. The king and his officials have [been forced to] go to other countries. No longer does anyone teach the people the laws [that God gave to Moses]. The prophets do not receive any visions [because] Yahweh does not give them any.
10 Starší dcery Sionské usadivše se na zemi, mlčí, posýpají prachem hlavy své, a přepasují se žíněmi panny Jeruzalémské, svěšují k zemi hlavy své.
The old men of Jerusalem [MTY] sit on the ground, and they say nothing. They wear rough sackcloth and throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad]. The young girls of Jerusalem bow down [sorrowfully], their faces touching the ground.
11 Zhynuly od slz oči mé, zkormoutily se vnitřnosti mé, a vykydla se na zem játra má, pro potření dcery lidu mého, když i nemluvňátka a prsí požívající na ulicích města se svírají.
My eyes are very tired because of my tears; I am very grieved in my soul. Because [very many of] my people have been killed, I grieve and am exhausted. [Even] children and babies are fainting [and dying] in the streets [because they have no food].
12 A říkají matkám svým: Kdež jest obilé a víno? když se jako zraněný svírají po ulicích města, a vypouštějí duše své na klíně matek svých.
They cry out to their mothers, “We need [RHQ] something to eat and drink!” They faint like wounded men in the streets of the city. They slowly die in the arms of their mothers.
13 Kohoť za svědka přivedu? Koho připodobním k tobě, ó dcero Jeruzalémská? Koho tobě přirovnám, abych tě potěšil, panno dcero Sionská? Nebo veliké jest jako moře potření tvé. Kdož by tě zhojiti mohl?
You people of Jerusalem [MTY, DOU], (what can I/there is nothing that I can) say [to help you]. No people have [RHQ] suffered like you are suffering; I do not know what I can do to comfort you. The disaster [MET] that you have experienced is as great as the ocean is deep; there is no one [RHQ] who can restore your [city].
14 Proroci tvoji předpovídali tobě lživé a ničemné věci, a neodkrývali nepravosti tvé, aby odvrátili zajetí tvé, ale předpovídali tobě těžkosti, oklamání a vyhnání.
The prophets among you claimed that they had seen visions [from Yahweh], but what they said was false and worthless. They did not save you from being (exiled/forced to go to other countries), because they did not proclaim that you had sinned. Instead, the messages that they gave you deceived you [because] they were not true.
15 Všickni, kteříž jdou cestou, tleskají nad tebou rukama, diví se a potřásají hlavou svou za tebou, dcero Jeruzalémská, říkajíce: To-li jest to město, o němž říkávali, že jest nejkrásnější a utěšením vší země?
All those who pass by you make fun of [IDM] you; they shake their heads and they hiss/sneer at you. [They say], “Is this that great city of Jerusalem? Is it the city that was the most beautiful city in the world, the city that caused all [the people on] the earth to be joyful?”
16 Všickni nepřátelé tvoji rozdírají na tebe ústa svá, hvízdají a škřipí zuby, říkajíce: Sehlťme ji. Totoť jest jistě ten den, jehož jsme očekávali; jižtě nastal, vidíme.
[Now] all our enemies scoff [IDM] at you; they hiss/sneer [at you] and gnash their teeth [to show that they hate you]. They say, “We have destroyed them! This is what we longed/waited for, and now it has happened!”
17 Učinil Hospodin to, což byl uložil, splnil řeč svou, kterouž přikazoval ode dnů starodávních, bořil bez lítosti, a obveselil nad tebou nepřítele, povýšil rohu protivníků tvých.
Yahweh has done what he planned; long ago he threatened to destroy you, and [now] he has done it. He has destroyed [your city] without acting mercifully [toward you]; he has enabled your enemies to he happy about defeating you; he has enabled your enemies to [continually] become stronger.
18 Vykřikovalo srdce jejich proti Pánu. Ó ty zdi dcery Sionské, vylévej jako potok slzy dnem i nocí, nedávej sobě odpočinutí, aniž se spokojuj zřítelnice oka tvého.
I wish/desire that the walls of Jerusalem [APO] would cry out to Yahweh! You people of Jerusalem [MET], Cry day and night! Let your tears flow like rivers. Do not stop grieving; do not stop crying.
19 Vstaň, křič v noci, při počátku bdění, vylévej jako vodu srdce své před oblíčejem Páně; pozdvihuj k němu rukou svých za život dítek svých svírajících se hladem, na rohu všech ulic, a rci:
Get up [every] night and cry out; tell Yahweh what you are feeling. Raise your arms to plead to him to act mercifully to prevent our children from dying; they are fainting on the street corners because they have no food to eat.
20 Pohleď, Hospodine, a popatř, komu jsi tak kdy učinil? Zdaliž jídají ženy plod svůj, nemluvňátka rozkošná? Zdaliž mordován býti má v svatyni Páně kněz a prorok?
Yahweh, look, and think [about it]! Have you ever [RHQ] caused people to suffer like this before? [It is certainly not right that] [RHQ] women are eating the flesh of their own children, the children whom they have always taken care of! [It is not right that] [RHQ] priests and prophets are being killed in your own temple!
21 Leží na zemi po ulicích mladý i starý, panny mé i mládenci moji padli od meče, zmordoval jsi je, a zbil v den prchlivosti své bez lítosti.
[The corpses of] people of all ages lie in the streets; [there are even corpses of] young men and young women who have been killed by [our enemies’] swords. Because you were very angry, you caused them to be killed; you have slaughtered them without pitying them [at all].
22 Svolal jsi jako ke dni slavnosti z vůkolí ty, jichž se velice straším, a nebylo v den prchlivosti Hospodinovy, kdo by ušel neb pozůstal. Kteréž jsem na rukou pěstovala a vychovala, ty nepřítel můj do konce zhubil.
You summoned our enemies to attack us from every direction, as though you were calling/inviting them to come to a feast. At that time when [you showed that] you were very angry, no one escaped. Our enemies murdered [our little children, ] ones whom we took care of and reared/brought up.
