< Ezekiel 17 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Opět stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:
2 “You human, tell this story/parable [DOU] to the people [MTY] of Israel.
Synu člověčí, vydej pohádku, a předlož podobenství o domu Izraelském,
3 [Say to them, ] ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: A huge eagle that had strong wings and long beautiful feathers of many colors flew to Lebanon. It grasped the top of a cedar [tree]
A rci: Takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Orlice veliká, velikých křídel a dlouhých brků, plná peří, strakatá, přiletěvši na Libán, vzala vrch cedru.
4 and broke it off. Then the eagle carried it away to [Babylonia], a country that had many merchants/businessmen, and planted it in one of the cities there.
Vrch mladistvých ratolestí jeho ulomila, a přenesla jej do země kupecké; v městě kupeckém položila jej.
5 Then that eagle took a seedling from [your] country and planted it in a fertile field. He planted it like people plant a willow tree, alongside [a stream that had] plenty of water.
Potom vzavši z semene té země, vsadila je v poli úrodném, a vsadila je velmi opatrně při vodách mnohých.
6 It grew and became a low grapevine that spread [along the ground]. Its branches turned up towards the eagle, but its roots grew down into the ground. So it became a [good] vine and produced [lots of] branches and leaves.
Kteréžto bylo by vzešlo, a bylo by révem bujným, jakžkoli nízké postavy, a byly by patřily ratolesti jeho k ní, a kořenové jeho poddáni byli by jí, a tak bylo by kmenem vinným, kterýž by vydal byl ratolesti, a vypustil rozvody.
7 But there was another huge eagle that had strong wings and beautiful feathers. And [some of] the roots of the vine grew toward that eagle, and its branches [also] turned toward it, hoping that the eagle would bring more water to it.
Ale byla orlice jedna veliká velikých křídel a vypeřená, a aj, ten kmen vinný připjal kořeny své k ní, a ratolesti své vztáhl k ní, aby svlažovala jej z brázd štípení svého,
8 [That happened in spite of the fact that] the vine had [already] been planted in good soil, where there was plenty of water, with the result that it had produced branches and produced grapes and had become a very healthy/productive vine.’
Ješto v poli dobrém, při vodách mnohých štípen byl, aby vypustil ratolesti, a nesl ovoce, a byl kmenem slavným.
9 Then [after you have told that to the people, say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: That vine] will certainly not [RHQ] remain healthy/productive. It will be [RHQ] pulled up by its roots by the eagle [that planted it], and all its fruit will be stripped off and its leaves will wither. And it will not need someone with strong arms or many people to pull it out by its roots.
Rci: Takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Zdaliž se podaří? Zdaliž kořenů jeho nevytrhá, a ovoce jeho neotrhá a neusuší? Zdaž všech ratolestí vyrostlých z něho neusuší? Zdaliž s velikou silou a s mnohým lidem nevyhladí ho z kořenů jeho?
10 Even if that vine is transplanted, it certainly will not continue to grow [RHQ]. When the hot wind from the east blows against it, it will completely wither, there where it was planted! [RHQ]’”
Aj, jakžkoli štípen, zdaliž se podaří? Zdaliž, jakž se ho dotkne vítr východní, do konce neuschne? Při brázdách, při nichž se ujal, zdaž neuschne?
11 Then Yahweh gave this message to me:
Za tím stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:
12 “Ask these rebellious [Israeli] people, ‘Do you know what this parable/story means?’ Tell them that it signifies that the King of Babylon went to Jerusalem [with his army] and captured the King of Judah and his officials, and took them back to Babylon.
Rci nyní domu zpurnému: Nevíte-liž, co je toto? Rci: Aj, přitáhl král Babylonský do Jeruzaléma, a vzal krále jeho i knížata jeho, a zavedl je s sebou do Babylona.
13 Then he took one of the king’s close relatives [and appointed him to be the king], and made an agreement with him, forcing him to solemnly promise [to remain loyal]. The King of Babylon also took to Babylon the other important citizens of Judah,
Vzal také z semene královského, a učiniv s ním smlouvu, přísahou jej zavázal, a silné země té pobral,
14 in order that the kingdom of Judah would not be able to become powerful again. The King of Babylon intended that the kingdom [of Judah] would not continue to exist if the people did not obey that agreement [that he made with the King of Babylon].
Aby bylo království snížené, proto aby se nepozdvihovalo, aby ostříhaje smlouvy jeho, tak stálo.
15 But the King of Judah rebelled against the King of Babylon by sending officials to Egypt to request from them horses and a large army [to fight against the army of Babylonia]. But the King of Judah will certainly not [RHQ] be sucessful. Rulers who [rebel like that and] and refuse to obey solemn agreements will never [RHQ] escape.
Ale zprotivil se jemu, poslav posly své do Egypta, aby jemu podal koní a lidu mnohého. Zdaž se mu to podaří? Zdaž pomsty ujde ten, kdož tak činí? Ten kdož ruší smlouvu, zdaliž pomsty ujde?
16 [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that [as surely] as I am alive, the King of Judah will die in Babylon, in the city where the King of Babylon appointed him to be the King [MTY] [of Judah]. He will die because he despised the solemn agreement and refused to do what he promised to do.
Živť jsem já, praví Panovník Hospodin, že v místě krále toho, kterýž jej králem učinil, jehož přísahou pohrdl, a jehož smlouvu zrušil, u něho v Babyloně umře.
17 The King of Egypt with all his very huge army [DOU] will not [be able to] help the King of Judah: [The soldiers from Babylonia] will build ramps up against the walls of Jerusalem and set up devices to batter the walls. They will [enter Jerusalem and] kill many of its people.
Aniž mu Farao s vojskem velikým a s zástupem mnohým co napomůže v boji, když vysype násyp, a vzdělá šance, aby zahubil množství lidí,
18 The King of Judah despised the solemn agreement by disregarding the treaty. Although he had solemnly promised to be under the control of the King of Babylon, [he sent officials to request help from Egypt]. Therefore he will not escape being punished [by the King of Babylon].
Poněvadž pohrdl přísahou, zrušiv smlouvu. Neb aj, podal ruky své, a však všecko toto činí. Neujdeť pomsty.
19 Therefore this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: 'Just as surely as I am alive, I will cause the King of Judah to be punished [IDM] for ignoring the solemn agreement that he made [with the King of Babylon] and then refusing to obey it.
Protož takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Živť jsem já, že přísahu svou, kterouž pohrdl, a smlouvu svou, kterouž zrušil, jistotně obrátím na hlavu jeho.
20 [It will be as though] I will spread a net to capture him, and he will be caught in it. He will [be captured and] taken to Babylon and punished because he rebelled against me.
Nebo roztáhnu na něj sít svou, a polapen bude do vrše mé, i zavedu jej do Babylona, a souditi se s ním budu tam pro přestoupení jeho, kteréhož se dopustil proti mně.
21 Most [HYP] of his soldiers who try to escape will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who survive will be scattered in all directions. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
Všickni též, kteříž utekli od něho se všemi houfy jeho, od meče padnou, ostatní pak na všecky strany rozprostříni budou. I zvíte, že já Hospodin mluvil jsem.
22 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[It will be as though] I will take a shoot from the top of a very tall cedar [tree] and plant it [DOU] in another place. I will plant it on a very high [DOU] mountain.
Takto praví Panovník Hospodin: A však vezmu z vrchu cedru toho vysokého a vsadím, z vrchu mladistvých ratolestí jeho mladou větvičku ulomím, a štípím na hoře vysoké a vyvýšené.
23 [It will be as though] I will plant it on a mountain in Israel, and it will grow and become a beautiful cedar [tree]. Many [HYP] kinds of birds will make their nests in the tree, and they will have shade in its branches.
Na hoře vysoké Izraelské štípím ji, i vypustí ratolesti, a ponese ovoce, a tak učiněna bude cedrem slavným, a bude bydliti pod ním všeliké ptactvo; všecko, což křídla má, v stínu ratolestí jeho bydliti bude.
24 And [it will be as though] all the trees in the field will know that I, Yahweh, get rid of tall trees and make little ones grow. I cause [big] green trees to wither, and I cause dry trees to become green. I, Yahweh have said this, and I will [certainly] do what I have said that I will do.”
A tak zvědí všecka dříví polní, že já Hospodin snížil jsem dřevo vysoké, a povýšil jsem dřeva nízkého; usušil jsem strom zelený, a způsobil to, aby zkvetl strom suchý. Já Hospodin mluvil jsem to i učiním.
