< Jeremiah 3 >
1 “[Moses wrote that] if a man divorces his wife and then she marries another man, her first husband certainly must not [RHQ] take her back again [to be his wife], because that would certainly [RHQ] cause the whole nation to become unacceptable to me. But you have more [idols than] prostitutes have men whom they have slept with! So, [why should I accept you if] you return to me?” [RHQ] says Yahweh.
Dí dále: Propustil-li by muž ženu svou, a ona odejduc od něho, vdala by se za jiného muže, zdaliž se navrátí k ní více? Zdaliž by hrozně nebyla poškvrněna země ta? Ale ty, ač jsi smilnila s milovníky mnohými, a však navratiž se ke mně, dí Hospodin.
2 “Look up at the barren hilltops. On every hilltop there are [RHQ] [idols that you have worshiped]. [It is as though] they are all lovers with whom you have had sex. [It is as though] you have sat along the roadsides like an Arab, waiting [to attack and steal things from] those who pass by. Because of worshiping idols and all the other wicked things that you have done, you have caused the [entire] land to become unacceptable to me.
Pozdvihni očí svých k vysokým místům, a pohleď, kdes necizoložila? Na cestách usazovalas se jim jako Arab na poušti, a poškvrnila jsi země smilstvím svým a nešlechetností svou.
3 That is why I have not sent you any rain at the times of the year when you needed it. But you are like prostitutes [MET] who are not at all ashamed [for what they have done].
A ačkoli zadržáni jsou podzimní dešťové, a deště jarního nebývalo, však čelo ženy nevěstky majíc, nechtělas se styděti.
4 Now each of you says to me, ‘You are my father! You have loved me ever since I was young!
Zdali od nynějšího času volati budeš ke mně: Otče můj, ty jsi vůdce mladosti mé?
5 So surely you will not [RHQ] be angry with me forever!’ But you will not quit sinning!”
Zdaliž Bůh držeti bude hněv na věčnost? Zdali chovati jej bude na věky? Aj, mluvíš i pášeš zlé věci, jakž jen můžeš.
6 [One day] when Josiah was the king of Judah, Yahweh said to me, “Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have turned away from me, like a woman who has abandoned her husband and sleeps with other men. They have gone up on every hilltop and under every big tree and worshiped idols there [MET].
Tedy řekl mi Hospodin za dnů Joziáše krále: Viděl-lis, co činila zpurná dcera Izraelská? Chodívala na každou horu vysokou, i pod každé dřevo zelené, a tam smilnila.
7 I thought that they would return to me, so I said to them, ‘Come back to me!’ But they refused. So I sent them away [to other countries, like a man] writes a note saying that he is divorcing his wife and then sends his wife away because she has committed adultery [MET].
A ačkoli jsem řekl, když ty všecky věci ona činila: Nechť se navrátí ke mně, však se nenavrátila. Načež hleděla zpronevěřilá sestra její, dcera Judská.
8 The people of Judah saw what I did to them. But they are just like the people of Israel. They are not afraid [of what I will do to them]. They also [have turned away from me and are worshiping idols like] women who abandon their husbands and go to other men [MET].
Pročež vidělo mi se pro ty všecky příčiny, poněvadž cizoložila zpurná dcera Izraelská, propustiti ji, a dáti jí lístek zapuzení jejího. Však se vždy neulekla zpronevěřilá sestra její, dcera Judská, ale šedši, smilnila také sama.
9 They thought that worshiping idols did not matter to me, so they have made the [entire] land unacceptable to me by worshiping idols of wood and stone.
I stalo se, že hanebným smilstvím svým poškvrnila země; nebo cizoložila s kamenem i s dřevem.
10 The people of Judah have pretended to return to me, but they have not really done that. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
A však s tím se vším neobrátila se ke mně zpronevěřilá sestra její, dcera Judská, celým srdcem svým, ale pokrytě, praví Hospodin.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Israel have turned away from me, but what the people of Judah have done is worse.
Protož řekl Hospodin ke mně: Ospravedlnila duši svou zpurná dcera Izraelská, více nežli zpronevěřilá Judská.
12 So go and tell this to the people of Israel: ‘Yahweh says this to you Israeli people who have turned away from him: I am merciful. I will not continue to be angry with you forever. So return to me.
Jdi a volej slovy těmito ku půlnoci, a rci: Navrať se, zpurná dcero Izraelská, dí Hospodin, a neoboří se tvář má zůřivá na vás; nebo já dobrotivý jsem, dí Hospodin, aniž držím hněvu na věčnost.
13 But you must admit/say that you are guilty, and that you have rebelled against me, Yahweh, your God, that you have worshiped idols under big trees everywhere, and you have not obeyed me. You have turned away from me.
Jen toliko poznej nepravost svou, že jsi od Hospodina Boha svého odstoupila, a sem i tam běhala cestami svými k cizím pod každé dřevo zelené, a hlasu mého neposlouchali jste, dí Hospodin.
14 But you belong to me. So I will take you, one from [each] city and two from [each] clan, and bring you [back] to Jerusalem [from the countries to which you were exiled].
Navraťte se synové zpurní, dí Hospodin; nebo já jsem manžel váš, a přijmu vás, jednoho z města, a dva z čeledi, abych vás uvedl na Sion.
15 [If you do that], I will appoint for you leaders with whom I am pleased, leaders who will guide you [well] because they will know and understand [what pleases me].
Kdežto dám vám pastýře podlé srdce svého, kteříž pásti vás budou uměle a rozumně.
16 And when you become very numerous [DOU] in your land, you will not need to talk about the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments. You will not think about it, and you will not want to make a new one.
I stane se, když se rozmnožíte a rozplodíte v této zemi za dnů těch, dí Hospodin, že nebudou říkati více: Truhla smlouvy Hospodinovy, aniž jim vstoupí na srdce, aniž zpomenou na ni, ani k ní choditi, aniž bude více u vážnosti.
17 At that time people will say, “Jerusalem is [the place where] Yahweh’s throne is.” [People from] all nations will come there to worship me. And they will no longer stubbornly do the evil things that they desire.
V ten čas nazývati budou Jeruzalém stolicí Hospodinovou, a shromáždí se tam všickni národové ke jménu Hospodinovu do Jeruzaléma, a nebudou choditi více podlé zdání srdce svého zlého.
18 At that time you people [MTY] of Israel and the people of Judah will return from [being (exiled/forced to live) in] lands to the northeast. You will return to the land that I gave to your ancestors to belong to them [forever].
V těch dnech přijdou dům Judský s domem Izraelským, a přiberou se spolu z země půlnoční do země, kterouž jsem v dědictví uvedl otcům vašim;
19 You people of Israel, I wanted to accept you to be my children. I wanted to give you [this] delightful land. It is a land more desirable/pleasant than the land of any other nation! I wanted you to call me ‘father’, and I wanted you to never turn away from me.
Ač já pravím: Kterakž bych tě počísti mohl mezi syny, a dáti tobě zemi žádostivou, dědictví slavné zástupů pohanských, leč abys mne vzýval, říkaje: Otče můj, a od následování mne abys se neodvracel?
20 But you have abandoned me like wives who have abandoned their husbands.’” [That is what] Yahweh said, and [I told it] to the people of Israel.
Poněvadž jakož žena zpronevěřuje se manželu svému, tak jste se zpronevěřili mně, dome Izraelský, dí Hospodin.
21 People will hear a noise on the barren hilltops. It will be the noise made by people weeping and pleading [for God to be merciful to them]. They will be admitting/saying that they have forgotten Yahweh their God, and that they turned away from behaving as God wanted them to.
Hlas po místech vysokých buď slyšán, pláč pokorné modlitby synů Izraelských. Nebo převrátivše cesty své, zapomněli se na Hospodina Boha svého, řkoucího:
22 Yahweh will say to them, “You Israeli people, come back to me! [If you do that], I will cause you to never turn away from me again.” [The people will reply], “We are returning to you, because you are Yahweh, our God.
Navraťte se, synové zpurní, a uzdravím odvrácení vaše. Rcete: Aj, my jdeme k tobě, nebo ty, Hospodine, jsi Bůh náš.
23 We did not get any help from [the idols that we worshiped on] the hilltops; we did not get any help from making all that noise up there.
Právě marné jest v pahrbcích a v množství hor doufání; zajisté v Hospodinu Bohu našem jest spasení Izraelovo.
24 From the time when we were young, the shameful [god Baal] has taken away [from us] everything that our ancestors worked hard to acquire. He has taken away their flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle], their sons and their daughters.
Nebo ohavnost ta zžírala práci otců našich od dětinství našeho, bravy jejich i skoty jejich, syny jejich i dcery jejich.
25 So, now we should lie down feeling very ashamed [DOU], because we and our ancestors have sinned against Yahweh our God, and we have never obeyed him.”
Ležíme v hanbě své, a přikrývá nás pohanění naše, že jsme proti Hospodinu Bohu svému hřešili, my i otcové naši, od dětinství svého až do dne tohoto, a neposlouchali jsme hlasu Hospodina Boha svého.
