Jeremiah 2
1 Yahweh gave me another message
I stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:
2 [to proclaim to everyone in Jerusalem. He said that I should tell them this] [MET]: “I, Yahweh, remember that you very much wanted to please me [long ago]. [You tried to please me like] a bride [tries to please her husband]; You loved me, and you followed me through the desert [DOU].
Jdi a volej, tak aby slyšel Jeruzalém, řka: Takto praví Hospodin: Rozpomínám se na tě pro milosrdenství mladosti tvé, a pro lásku snětí tvého, když jsi za mnou chodila po poušti v zemi, kteráž nebývá osívána.
3 [At that time you] Israelis (were set apart/belonged only) to me; [you belonged to me like] the first part of the harvests belong to me [MET]. I promised to punish all those who harmed you, my people, and truly I did send disasters on them. [That happened because I], Yahweh, said [that it would happen].”
Tehdáž svatost Hospodinova byl Izrael, prvotiny úrod jeho. Všickni, kteříž jej zžírali, obviněni byli; zlé věci na ně přišly, praví Hospodin.
4 So, you [descendants of] [MTY] Jacob, all you people of [MTY] Israel,
Slyšte slovo Hospodinovo, dome Jákobův, a všecky čeledi domu Izraelského.
5 listen to what Yahweh says: “(What sin did I commit [RHQ] that caused your ancestors to turn far away from me?/Though your ancestors found no fault in me, they turned far away from me.) They worshiped worthless idols, and they themselves became worthless.
Takto praví Hospodin: Jakou shledali otcové vaši při mně nepravost, že se vzdálili ode mne, a chodíce za marností, marní učiněni jsou,
6 They did not say, ‘Yahweh brought us [safely] out of Egypt, and he led us through a desert where there were a lot of pits; he led us where there was no water and where it was very dangerous, through a land where no one lives, and no one even travels. (So where is Yahweh now?/So he should be helping us now!) [RHQ]’
Tak že ani neřekli: Kde jest Hospodin, kterýž nás vyvedl z země Egyptské, kterýž nás vodil po poušti, po zemi pusté a strašlivé, po zemi vyprahlé a stínu smrti, po zemi, skrze niž nechodil žádný, a kdež žádný člověk nebydlil?
7 And when I brought you into a very fertile land, in order that you could enjoy [all] the fruit and [other] good things that you would harvest, you caused the land that I promised to give to you to be unfit for me and to become disgusting/detestable to me.
Nýbrž, když jsem vás uvedl do země úrodné, abyste jedli ovoce její i dobré věci její, všedše tam, poškvrnili jste země mé, a dědictví mé zohavili jste.
8 [Your] priests also did not say, ‘(Where is Yahweh now?/Yahweh should be helping us now!)’ [RHQ] Those who teach/explain my laws do not [want to] know me, and [your] leaders have rebelled against me. [Your] prophets gave you messages from [their god] Baal, and they worship worthless idols.”
Kněží neřekli: Kde jest Hospodin? a ti, kteříž se obírají s zákonem, nepoznali mne, pastýři pak odstoupili ode mne, a proroci prorokovali skrze Bále, a za věcmi neužitečnými chodili.
9 “So, I will accuse you in court. [In future years], I will say what your children and your grandchildren have done that is wrong. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].
Pročež vždy nesnáz mám s vámi, praví Hospodin, i s syny synů vašich nesnáz míti musím.
10 If you go [west] to the island of Cyprus, or if you go [east] to Kedar [land, ] and if you ask people in those places, they will tell you that no people [from their countries] have ever done the wicked things that you people have done!
Projděte ale ostrovy Citim, a pohleďte, i do Cedar pošlete, a pošetřte pilně, a pohleďte, stalo-li se co takového.
11 The people of no other nation have ever [RHQ] abandoned their gods that they thought were glorious and started to worship gods that are not really gods, but you people have abandoned me, your glorious God, and are worshiping gods that are useless.
Zdali změnil který národ bohy, ačkoli nejsou bohové? Lid pak můj změnil slávu svou v věc neužitečnou.
12 [It is as though everything in] the sky is surprised and dismayed/appalled [about what you have done]; [it is as though] they tremble because they are very horrified.
Užasněte se nebesa nad tím, a děste se, chřadněte velmi, praví Hospodin.
13 [You], my people, have done two evil things: You have rejected me, the one who is [like] [MET] a fountain [where you can obtain] fresh water, and you [are worshiping gods that are like] [MET] pits in the ground that are cracked and which are not able to hold any water.
Nebo dvojí zlost spáchal lid můj: Mne opustili pramen vod živých, aby sobě vykopali čisterny, čisterny děravé, kteréž nedrží vody.
14 You Israeli people, you were certainly not [RHQ] slaves when you were born; you were captured [by your enemies].
Zdali otrok jest Izrael? Zdali man doma zplozený? Pročež vydán jest v loupež?
15 [Your enemies] [MET] roared [like] lions, and they destroyed your land. [Now] your towns have been burned, and no one lives in them.
Lvíčata řvou na něj, a vydávají hlas svůj, a obracejí zemi jeho v pustinu; města jeho vypálena jsou, tak že není žádného obyvatele.
16 Soldiers from Memphis and Tahpenes, [cities in Egypt], have [defeated you] [and] shaved your heads [to show that you are their slaves].
Obyvatelé také Nof a Tachpanes pasou na vrchu hlavy tvé.
17 But it is [RHQ] because you abandoned [me], Yahweh, that these disasters have happened to you.
Zdaliž toho sobě nepůsobíš, opouštějíc Hospodina Boha svého v ten čas, když tě vodí po cestě své?
18 So (why are you trying to make an alliance with [MET] the rulers of Egypt?/it certainly will not help you to make an alliance with the rulers of Egypt) [RHQ]. Why are you trying to make an alliance with [MET] the rulers of Assyria who live near the [Euphrates] River?
A nyní co tobě do cesty Egyptské, že piješ vodu z Níle? Aneb co tobě do cesty Assyrské, že piješ vodu z řeky?
19 [It is because] you have been [very] wicked that I [PRS] will punish you. It is because you have turned away from me that I [PRS] will condemn you. [When I do that], you will realize that painful and evil [DOU] things will happen to you because you have forsaken [me], Yahweh, your God, and you no [longer] revere me. [That will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, have said it.
Trestati tě bude zlost tvá, a odvrácení tvá domlouvati budou tobě. Poznejž tedy a viz, že zlá a hořká věc jest, že opouštíš Hospodina Boha svého, a není bázně mé při tobě, dí Panovník Hospodin zástupů.
20 Long ago, you stopped obeying [me] [MET], and you would not allow [me] to lead you [MET]; you refused to worship [me]. Instead, you worship idols that are under trees on the top of every hill, and your young women have sex with [EUP] [men at those places].
Ačkoli dávno polámal jsem jho tvé, potrhal jsem to, čím jsi svázána byla, a řeklas: Nebuduť sloužiti modlám, však po každém pahrbku vysokém, a pod každým dřevem zeleným touláš se, ó nevěstko.
21 [It is as though] [MET] you were a grapevine that I planted when it was a cutting from a very good vine. So now it is disgusting that [RHQ] you have become [like] a rotten worthless vine.
Ješto jsem já tě vysadil vinným kmenem výborným, všecku napořád semenem čistotným, i kterakž jsi mi proměnila se v plané réví cizího kmene?
22 Your guilt from your sins is like [MET] very bad stains on a cloth, and you cannot get rid of those stains even by using very strong soap. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Nebo bys ty se pak umyla sanitrem, a mnoho na sebe mýdla vypotřebovala, předceť patrná jest nepravost tvá před oblíčejem mým, praví Panovník Hospodin.
23 You say that you have not sinned. You say ‘We have not become unacceptable to God; we have not worshiped Baal.’ But think about [the disgusting things that you do very eagerly] in [Hinnom] Valley [outside Jerusalem]. You are like desperate female camels, running here and there [to find male camels to have sex with].
Kterakž můžeš říci: Nepoškvrňovala jsem se, za Báli jsem nechodila? Pohleď na cestu svou v tomto údolí, poznej, cos činila, dromedářko rychlá, kteráž znamení necháváš na cestách svých.
24 You are [like] wild female donkeys in the desert. They sniff the air to find where the male donkeys are, and no one can [RHQ] restrain them. The male donkeys that want them do not become tired searching for them, because at mating time they find them [easily].
Jsi divoká oslice, zvyklá na poušti, kteráž podlé líbosti duše své hltá vítr, když se jí příčina dá. Kdo jí překážku učiní? Všickni ti, kteříž jí hledají, nepotřebí se jim kvaltovati, naleznouť ji v měsíci jejím.
25 You constantly run here and there [to find idols to worship], with the result that your sandals are worn out, and your throats have become dry. [I told you to stop doing that], but you said, ‘We cannot stop, because we love foreign gods, and we must worship them.’”
Dí-liť kdo: Zdržuj nohu svou, aby bosá nebyla, a hrdlo své od žízně, tedy říkáš: To nic, nikoli; nebo jsem zamilovala cizí, a za nimi choditi budu.
26 [Yahweh says this]: “A robber is disgraced when he is caught. And all of you, including your kings and priests and prophets, are similarly disgraced.
Jakož k hanbě přichází zloděj, když postižen bývá, tak zahanben bude dům Izraelský, oni, králové jejich, knížata jejich, a kněží jejich, i proroci jejich,
27 You say to [a piece of] wood [that is carved to become a sacred idol], ‘You are our father!’ And you say to a stone [that you have set up], ‘You are our mother!’ You have rejected [IDM] me, but when you experience troubles, you cry out to me to rescue you.
Kteříž říkají dřevu: Otec můj jsi, a kameni: Ty jsi mne zplodil. Nebo se hřbetem ke mně obracejí a ne tváří, ale v čas trápení svého říkají: Vstaň a vysvoboď nás.
28 Why do you not [RHQ] cry out to the gods that you made? You have as many gods as you have cities [and towns] in Judah. So why do you not plead with them to rescue you when you experience disasters?
I kdež jsou bohové tvoji, kterýchž jsi nadělal sobě? Nechť vstanou, budou-li tě moci vysvoboditi v čas trápení tvého, poněvadž podlé počtu měst svých máš bohy své, ó Judo.
29 You complain that it was wrong for me [not to have rescued you], but you have all rebelled against me.
Co se vaditi budete se mnou? Vy všickni odstoupili jste ode mne, dí Hospodin.
30 I punished some of you, but you did not learn anything from my doing that. You have killed many of the prophets that I [sent to you], like [SIM] fierce lions kill [other animals].
Nadarmo jsem bil syny vaše, kázně nepřijali; sežral meč váš proroky vaše jako lev, kterýž dáví.
31 You people of Israel, pay attention to what I say. I have certainly [RHQ] never [abandoned you] in a desert; I have never [left you] in a land full of darkness. So, why do you, my people, say ‘We are free from God’s control; we will not return to [worship] God any more’?
Ó národe, vy posuďte slova Hospodinova, zdali jsem byl pouští Izraelovi, zdali zemí tmavou? Proč říká lid můj: Panujeme, nepřijdeme více k tobě?
32 A young woman would certainly never [RHQ] forget [to wear] her jewelry, and a bride would never [RHQ] forget to wear her wedding dress, but you my people have forgotten me for many years.
Zdali se zapomíná panna na ozdoby své, a nevěsta na tkanice své? Lid pak můj zapomněl se na mne za dny nesčíslné.
33 You know how to easily find [gods from other countries] whom you can love. You can find them as easily as a prostitute [can find men to sleep with].
Proč zastáváš cesty své, hledajíc toho, což miluješ? Pročež i jiné nešlechetnice učíš cestám svým.
34 Although you have on your clothes the blood of poor people whom you have murdered, people who (were innocent/had not done things that are wrong),
Nad to, na podolcích tvých nalézá se krev duší chudých nevinných. Nenesnadně nalézám to, nebo viděti to na těch všech podolcích.
35 you say ‘We have not done anything that is wrong; so surely [Yahweh] is not angry with us.’ But I will punish [MTY] you [severely] for saying ‘We have not sinned.’
A vždy říkáš: Poněvadž nevinná jsem, jistě odvrácena jest prchlivost jeho ode mne. Aj, já v soud vejdu s tebou, proto že pravíš: Nehřešila jsem.
36 Previously you requested [the army of] Assyria to help you, but they were not able to help you. Now you have requested [the army of] Egypt to help you, but they will not be able to help you, either.
Proč tak běháš, proměňujíc cestu svou? Jakož jsi zahanbena od Assyrských, tak i od Egyptských zahanbena budeš.
37 They will capture you, and you will be [their prisoners] [MTY], led to Egypt, [very ashamed] with your hands on your heads. That will happen because I, Yahweh, have rejected those [nations] that you are relying on, and they will not be able to help you at all.”
Také odtud vyjdeš, a ruce tvé budou nad hlavou tvou; nebo zamítá Hospodin troštování tvá, a nepovedeť se šťastně v nich.
