Jeremiah 45

1 After Jehoiakim the son of King Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, [I, ] Baruch, wrote down [all] the messages that the prophet Jeremiah had dictated to me. Then Jeremiah gave me a message. He said,

Slovo, kteréž promluvil Jeremiáš prorok k Báruchovi synu Neriášovu, když spisoval slova tato do knihy z úst Jeremiášových, léta čtvrtého Joakima syna Joziášova, krále Judského, řka:

2 “Baruch, Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], has a message for you.

Takto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský o tobě, ó Báruchu.

3 You have said, ‘Terrible things [are happening] to me! I have endured much pain already. And now Yahweh is causing me to be very sad, in addition to my having pain. I am exhausted from my (groaning/being sad), and I am unable to rest!’

Řekls: Jižtě mi běda, nebo přičiní Hospodin zámutku k bolesti mé. Ustávám v úpění svém, a odpočinutí nenalézám.

4 But [Baruch], this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I established. [This nation is like a tree] [MET] that I planted and that I will now pull up with its roots.

Takto rci jemu: Takto praví Hospodin: Aj, což jsem vystavěl, já bořím, a což jsem vštípil, já pléním, totiž všecku zemi tuto.

5 So, should you [RHQ] desire that people do things to honor you in a special way? Do not desire that. [It is true that] I will cause all these people to experience a great disaster, but wherever you go, I will protect you, and you will not be killed.’”

A ty bys hledal sobě velikých věcí? Nehledej. Nebo aj, já uvedu bídu na všeliké tělo, dí Hospodin, ale dám tobě život tvůj místo kořisti na všech místech, kamž půjdeš.
