Jeremiah 5
1 [Yahweh said to the people of Jerusalem], “Go up and down every street. Search in the marketplaces to find people who do what is fair/right, who try to be faithful to me. [If you find even one person like that], I will forgive [the people of Jerusalem and not destroy] their city.
Zběhejte ulice Jeruzalémské, pohleďte nyní, a zvězte, a hledejte v ulicích jeho, naleznete-li muže, jest-li kdo, ješto by činil soud, a vyhledával toho, což pravého jest, a odpustím jemu.
2 But when people there say, ‘I solemnly declare that as surely as Yahweh lives, [I will do what he says],’ they are lying.”
Ale i když říkají: Živť jest Hospodin, takovým způsobem křivě přisahají.
3 Yahweh, you are certainly [RHQ] searching for [people who tell the] truth. You struck/punished your people, but they did not pay any attention. You crushed them, but they ignored what you were telling them to do. They were extremely stubborn [IDM] and refused to return to you.
Ó Hospodine, zdaliž oči tvé nepatří na pravdu? Biješ je, ale necítí bolesti; hubíš je, ale nechtí přijímati kázně. Tvrdší jsou tváře jejich než skála, nechtí se navrátiti.
4 I thought, “[We cannot expect] these [people to act righteously, because they] are poor; they do not have any sense. They do not know the way Yahweh wants them to conduct their lives; they do not know what God requires them to do.
I řekl jsem já: Snad tito prostí jsou, nerozumně sobě počínají; nebo nejsou povědomi cesty Hospodinovy, soudu Boha svého.
5 So, I will go and talk to their leaders, because they [surely] know how God wants them to conduct their lives.” But they also have stopped obeying Yahweh [MET], and they will not allow him to lead them.
Půjdu aspoň k přednějším, a mluviti budu k nim; nebo oni povědomi jsou cesty Hospodinovy, soudu Boha svého. Ale i ti spolu polámali jho, roztrhali svazky.
6 Because of that, lions will come out of the forests and kill them; wolves from the desert will attack them; leopards that lurk/wait outside their cities will maul anyone who walks outside the cities. [Those things will happen] because the people have sinned very much against God and have turned away from him very frequently.
Protož je podáví lev z lesa, vlk večerní pohubí je, pardus číhati bude u měst jejich. Kdožkoli vyjde z nich, roztrhán bude; nebo mnohá jsou přestoupení jejich, rozmohly se převrácenosti jejich.
7 Yahweh says, “I cannot [RHQ] forgive these people; [even] their children have abandoned me. When they solemnly declare something, they ask their gods [to show that what they say is true]. I gave my people everything that they needed, but they often went to [the shrines of their idols] and committed adultery there.
Kdež jest to, pročež bych měl odpustiti tobě? Synové tvoji opouštějí mne, a přisahají skrze ty, kteříž nejsou bohové. Jakž jsem jen nasytil je, hned cizoloží, a do domu nevěstky houfem se valí.
8 [Just like] [MET] well-fed male horses neigh, wanting sex with female horses, each of the men desires to have sex with his neighbor’s wife.
Ráno vstávajíce, jsou jako koni vytylí; každý k ženě bližního svého řehce.
9 (Should I not punish them for this [RHQ]?/I will certainly get revenge on this nation for this!) I will certainly get revenge [RHQ] on this nation whose people behave like that!
Zdaliž pro takové věci nemám navštíviti? dí Hospodin. A zdali nad národem takovým nemá mstíti duše má?
10 [I will say to your enemies], ‘The people [of Judah and Israel are like a vineyard]. Go along the rows in their vineyards and get rid of [most of] the people, but do not kill all of them. These people do not belong to me, [so get rid of them], [like a gardener] [MET] lops/cuts off branches from a vine.
Vstupte na zdi jeho, a zkazte je, a nepřestávejte; svrzte štítky zdí jeho, nebo nejsou Hospodinovy.
11 The people of Israel and Judah have turned away from me completely.’
Velice zajisté zpronevěřili se mi dům Izraelský a dům Judský, dí Hospodin.
12 They have lied about me and said, ‘He will not punish us! He will not cause us to experience disasters! We will not experience wars or famines!
Sčítali klam na Hospodina, a říkali: Není tak, nikoli nepřijde na nás zlé, a meče ani hladu nepocítíme.
13 What [God’s] prophets say is nothing but hot air! They do not have messages [from God]! We would like [the disasters that they predict] to happen to them!’”
Ti pak proroci pominou s větrem, a žádného slova není v nich. Takť se stane jim.
14 So, this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, has said to me: “Because my people are saying those things, I will give you a message to tell them [MTY] that will be [like] [MET] a fire, and [these people will be like] [MET] wood that the fire will burn up.
Protož takto praví Hospodin Bůh zástupů: Proto že tak mluvíte, aj, já způsobím, aby slova tvá v ústech tvých byla jako oheň, a lid tento dřívím, kteréž on zžíře.
15 Listen to this, you people of Israel: I will bring [the army of] a distant nation to attack you. It is a very powerful nation that has existed for a long time. They speak a language that you do not know and which you will not be able to understand.
Aj, já přivedu na vás národ zdaleka, ó dome Izraelský, dí Hospodin, národ silný, národ starodávní, národ, jehož jazyka nebudeš uměti, ani rozuměti, co mluví.
16 Their soldiers are all very strong, and the arrows from their quivers [MET] will (send many Israeli men to their graves/cause many Israeli people to die).
Jehož toul jako hrob otevřený, všickni jsou silní.
17 They will eat the food that you have harvested from your fields, and eat your bread. They will kill your sons and daughters, and they will kill your flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle]. They will eat your grapes and your figs. They will [also] destroy your cities that have high walls around them and kill the people with their swords.
A vytráví obilé tvé a chléb tvůj, požerou syny tvé a dcery tvé, pojí bravy tvé i skot tvůj, pojí vinné kmeny tvé i fíkoví tvé, města tvá hrazená, v nichž ty doufáš, znuzí mečem.
18 But even when those things happen, I will not get rid of all of you.
A však ani těch časů, dí Hospodin, neučiním s vámi konce.
19 And when the survivors ask, ‘Why is Yahweh our God doing this to us?’ you will tell them, ‘You rejected him and worshiped foreign gods in your [own] land, so [now] you will become slaves of foreigners in a land that is not your land.’”
Nebo stane se, když řeknete: Proč nám činí Hospodin Bůh náš všecko toto? že řekneš jim: Jakož jste opustili mne, a sloužili bohům cizozemců v zemi své, tak sloužiti budete cizozemcům v zemi ne své.
20 [Yahweh said to me], “Proclaim this to the people of Israel and Judah:
Oznamtež to v domě Jákobově, a rozhlaste v Judstvu, řkouce:
21 Listen to this, you people who are foolish and who do not have any sense: You have eyes, but [it is as though] you cannot see; you have ears, but [it is as though] you cannot hear.
Slyštež nyní toto, lide bláznivý a nesmyslný, kteříž oči mají a nevidí, kteříž uši mají a neslyší:
22 Why do you not revere me [RHQ]? You should [RHQ] tremble when you are in my presence! I, Yahweh, am the one who put a barrier along the shores so that the waters of the ocean cannot cross it [and flood the land]. The waves roll and roar, but they cannot go past that barrier.
Což se mne nebudete báti? dí Hospodin. Což před oblíčejem mým nebudete se třásti? Kterýž jsem položil písek za cíl moři ustanovením věčným, jehož nepřekračuje. Ačkoli zmítají se, však neodolají, ačkoli zvučí vlnobití jeho, však ho nepřecházejí.
23 But you people [are not like the waves that obey me]. You people are very stubborn and rebellious. You have constantly turned away from me.
Ale lid tento má srdce zarputilé a zpurné, odstoupili a odešli.
24 You do not say to yourselves, ‘We should revere Yahweh our God, the one who sends us rain at the times when we need it, the one who causes the grain to become ripe at the harvest season.’
Ani neřekli v srdci svém: Bojme se již Hospodina Boha našeho, kterýž dává déšť jarní i podzimní časem svým, téhodnů nařízených ke žni ostříhá nám.
25 It is because of the wrong things that you have done, that those good things have not happened; it is because of the sins that you have committed that you have been prevented from receiving those blessings.
Nepravostiť vaše překážku činí těm věcem, a hříchové vaši připravují vás o to dobré.
26 Among my people are wicked people who hide along the roads to ambush/attack people like [SIM] men who hunt birds (put out nets/set traps) to catch them.
Nebo nalézají se v lidu mém bezbožníci; střeže jako čižebníci, kteříž lécejí, stavějí osídla, lidi lapají.
27 Like [a hunter has] a cage full of birds [that he has captured], their homes are full of things that they have gotten by deceiving others. So now they are [very] rich and powerful.
Jako klece plná ptáků, tak domové jejich plní jsou lsti. Protož zrostli a zbohatli,
28 They are big and fat, and there is no limit to the evil things that they have done. They do not try to defend orphans in the courtrooms, and they do not help poor people to get what they have a right to receive.
Vytylí jsou, lsknou se, nadto umějí se vyhýbati bídám. Pře nesoudí, ani pře sirotka, a však šťastně se jim vede, ačkoli k spravedlnosti chudým nedopomáhají.
29 So I will certainly [RHQ] punish them for doing those things. I will certainly [RHQ] (get revenge on their nation/do to their nation what they deserve).
Zdaliž pro takové věci nemám navštíviti jich? dí Hospodin. Zdali nad národem takovým nemá mstíti duše má?
30 Very appalling/horrible and terrible [DOU] things are happening in this country:
Věc užasnutí hodná a hrozná děje se v zemi této.
31 Prophets speak [only] lies and priests rule by their own authority, and you people like that! But when you [start to] experience disasters, what will you do [RHQ]?”
Proroci prorokují lživě, a kněží panují skrze ně, a lid můj miluje to. Èeho byste pak neučinili naposledy?
