< Jeremiah 22 >

1 This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and say this to him:
Takto řekl Hospodin: Sejdi do domu krále Judského, a mluv tam slovo toto,
2 ‘You are the king of Judah. You are the ruler [MTY], like King David was. You and your officials and your people must listen
A rci: Slyš slovo Hospodinovo, králi Judský, kterýž sedíš na stolici Davidově, ty i služebníci tvoji i lid tvůj, kteříž chodíte skrze brány tyto.
3 to what Yahweh says: “Act fairly and justly. Do what is right. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue people from those who oppress them. Stop doing evil things. Do not mistreat those who have come here from other countries, and do not mistreat orphans and widows. Stop murdering here [in Jerusalem] [MTY] those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong).
Takto praví Hospodin: Konejte soud a spravedlnost, a vychvacujte obloupeného z ruky násilníka; příchozímu tolikéž, sirotku, ani vdově nečiňte křivdy, aniž jich utiskujte, a krve nevinné nevylévejte na místě tomto.
4 If you obey those commands carefully, there will [always] be some descendant of King David who will be ruling here [MTY] [in Jerusalem]. The king and his officials and other people will ride through the gates of the city in chariots and on horses.
Nebo budete-li to pilně vykonávati, jistě že poberou se skrze brány domu tohoto králové, sedící místo Davida na stolici jeho, jezdíce na vozích, neb na koních, král s služebníky svými i s lidem svým.
5 But if you refuse to pay attention to those commands, I, Yahweh, solemnly declare, with myself [MTY] as a witness, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.”’”
Jestliže pak neuposlechnete slov těchto, skrze sebe přisahám, dí Hospodin, že poušť bude dům tento.
6 And this is what Yahweh says about the king’s palace: “[I like] this palace, like I like the forests in the Gilead [region] and the mountains in Lebanon. But I will cause this palace to become a desert, a place that no one lives in.
Nebo takto praví Hospodin o domu krále Judského: Byl jsi mi jako Galád a vrch Libánský, ale obrátím tě jistotně v poušť jako města, v nichž se bydliti nemůže.
7 I will summon enemy troops who will destroy this palace; each of their soldiers will use his own tools [to wreck the building]. They will cut into pieces the beautiful big cedar [beams] and throw them into a fire.”
A přistrojím na tebe zhoubce, jednoho každého se zbrojí jeho, kteřížto zpodtínají nejvýbornější cedry tvé, a vmecí na oheň.
8 People from many nations will walk past [the ruins of] this city and say to each other, “Why did Yahweh destroy this city that was [very] great?”
A když půjdou národové mnozí mimo město toto, a řekne jeden druhému: Proč tak učinil Hospodin městu tomuto velikému?
9 And [other] people will reply, “[He did it] because his people stopped obeying the agreement that they had made with Yahweh their God. Instead, they worshiped [DOU] other gods.”
Tedy řeknou: Proto že opustili smlouvu Hospodina Boha svého, a klaněli se bohům cizím a sloužili jim.
10 [Yahweh also says, ] “Do not mourn for King [Josiah]; do not cry because he has died. Instead, mourn for [King Jehoahaz, his son], [because] he will be captured and taken to another country, and he will never return to see his own country, [Judah], again.”
Neplačtež mrtvého, aniž ho litujte, ale ustavičně plačte příčinou toho, kterýž odchází; neboť se nenavrátí více, aby pohleděl na zemi, v níž se narodil.
11 Jehoahaz became king after his father, King Josiah, [died], but Jehoahaz indeed was captured and taken [to Babylonia]. And this is what Yahweh says about him: “He also will never return [to Judah].
Nebo takto praví Hospodin o Sallumovi synu Joziáše, krále Judského, kterýž kraluje místo Joziáše otce svého: Když vyjde z místa tohoto, nenavrátí se sem více.
12 He will die in that far-away country and will never see his own country again.”
Ale tam v tom místě, kamž jej zastěhují, umře, a tak země této neuzří více.
13 [And Yahweh said to me], “Terrible things will happen to [King Jehoahaz’s brother, King Jehoiakim]. He unjustly [forced men to] build his palace. The rooms on the upper level were built [by men who were forced] unjustly [to do that work]; he forced his neighbors to work for nothing; he did not pay them anything.
Běda tomu, kdož staví dům svůj s útiskem, a paláce své s křivdou, kterýž bližního svého v službu podrobuje darmo, mzdy pak jeho nedává jemu;
14 He said, ‘I will [force my workers to] build a huge beautiful palace with very large rooms and [many] windows. They will cover the walls with [fragrant] cedar panels/timber and paint them bright red.’”
Kterýž říká: Vystavím sobě dům veliký a paláce prostranné, kterýž prolamuje sobě okna, a tafluje cedrovím, a maluje barvou.
15 But it is certainly not [RHQ] having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great! Jehoiakim’s father, Josiah, also had [RHQ] plenty of things to eat and drink. But Josiah always did things that are right and just, and that is why God blessed him.
Zdaliž kralovati budeš, že se pleteš v to cedrové stavení? Otec tvůj zdaliž nejídal a nepíjel? Když konal soud a spravedlnost, tedy dobře bylo jemu.
16 Josiah acted justly/fairly and helped poor and needy people, so things went well for him. Yahweh says, “That is [RHQ] the way a person should behave who knows me.
Když soudíval při chudého a nuzného, tedy dobře bylo. Zdaliž mně to není známé? dí Hospodin.
17 But [Jehoiakim], you [MTY] are greedy and desire only to obtain things by acting dishonestly. You murder [MTY] innocent people, you oppress poor people, and you treat people cruelly and violently.”
Ale oči tvé i srdce tvé nehledí než lakomství tvého, a abys krev nevinnou proléval, a nátisk a křivdu činil.
18 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim, the son of King Josiah: “[When he dies], people will not mourn for him. They will not say to each other, ‘It is very sad; we are so sorry!’ The people whom he ruled will not mourn for him, saying, ‘We are sad that our king is dead; we are so sorry that the wonderful things [that happened while he was king are ended].’
Protož takto praví Hospodin o Joakimovi synu Joziáše, krále Judského: Nebudouť ho kvíliti: Ach, bratře můj, aneb ach, sestro. Nebudou ho kvíliti: Ach, pane, aneb ach, kdež důstojnost jeho?
19 [When he dies, people will do to] his corpse what they do to a dead donkey; his [corpse] will be dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
Pohřbem osličím pohřben bude, vyvlečen a vyvržen jsa za brány Jeruzalémské.
20 [You people of Judah], go to [the mountains in] Lebanon and weep, shout in the [mountains of the] Bashan [region], cry out in [the mountains of] Moab, because all your friends [in those areas] have been destroyed.
Vstup na Libán a křič, i na hoře Bázan vydej hlas svůj; křič také přes brody, když potříni budou všickni milovníci tvoji.
21 When you were prosperous, I warned you, but you replied, ‘We will not pay attention [to what you say].’ You have been acting like that since you were young; you have never obeyed me.
Mluvíval jsem s tebou v největším štěstí tvém, říkávalas: Nebuduť poslouchati. Tať jest cesta tvá od dětinství tvého; neuposlechlas zajisté hlasu mého.
22 [So, now I will punish] all your leaders; [it will be as though] they have been blown away by the wind. They will be captured [by your enemies] and taken to another country. When that happens, you will [truly] be ashamed and disgraced because of all the wicked things [that you have done].
Všecky pastýře tvé zpase vítr, a milovníci tvoji v zajetí půjdou. Tehdáž jistě hanbiti a styděti se budeš za všelikou nešlechetnost svou.
23 [Now, your king] enjoys living in the cedar rooms in his palace, but [soon] he will be punished, and then he will groan like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.”
Ó ty, kteráž jsi usadila se na Libánu, jenž se hnízdíš na cedroví, jak milostná budeš, když na tě přijdou svírání a bolest jako rodičky!
24 Yahweh says this: “Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, as surely as I am alive, [I will punish you]. Even if you were the ring on my finger that shows that I am the king, I would pull you off.
Živť jsem já, dí Hospodin, že byť pak byl Koniáš syn Joakima, krále Judského, prstenem pečetním na mé ruce pravé, však tě i odtud strhnu.
25 You are afraid of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his huge army, [because] they are wanting to kill you. I will enable them to capture you.
A vydám tě v ruku těch, kteříž hledají bezživotí tvého, a v ruku těch, jejichž ty se oblíčeje lekáš, totiž v ruku Nabuchodonozora krále Babylonského, a v ruku Kaldejských.
26 I will expel you and your mother [from this land], and you will be taken to another country. Neither of you was born there, but you will both die there.
A hodím tebou i matkou tvou, kteráž tě porodila, do země cizí, tam, kdež jste se nezrodili, a tam zemřete.
27 You will never return to this land that you will very much desire to return to.”
Do země pak, po níž toužiti budete, abyste se navrátili tam, tam se nenavrátíte.
28 [Someone said, ] “Jehoiachin will be [RHQ] like a broken pot that is despised and which no one wants. He and his children will be (exiled/forced to go) to a foreign land.
Zdaliž modlou ničemnou, kteráž roztřískána bývá, bude muž tento Koniáš? Zdali nádobou, v níž není žádné líbosti? Proč by vyházíni byli on i símě jeho, a uvrženi do země, o níž nevědí?
29 [I want] the people in this land to listen carefully to this message from Yahweh.”
Ó země, země, země, slyš slovo Hospodinovo.
30 This is what Yahweh says: “[In the record about the kings of Judah, ] write down that [it will be as though] this man [Jehoiachin] had no children, and that he has not been successful during his life, because none of his children/descendants will [ever] become king to rule over [the people of] Judah.”
Takto praví Hospodin: Zapište to, že muž tento bez dětí bude, a že se jemu nepovede šťastně za dnů jeho. Anobrž nepovede se šťastně i tomu muži, kterýž by z semene jeho seděl na stolici Davidově, a panoval ještě nad Judou.
