Jeremiah 6
1 “You people in Jerusalem who are from [the tribe of] Benjamin, flee from this city! Blow the trumpets in Tekoa [city south of Jerusalem]! Send up a [smoke] signal in Beth-Haccherem [town] [to warn the people of the coming danger]! A powerful [army] will come from the north, and they will cause great destruction.
Shromažďte se, synové Beniaminovi, z prostředku Jeruzaléma, a v Tekoa trubte trubou, a nad Betkarem vyzdvihněte korouhev; nebo viděti zlé od půlnoci, a potření veliké.
2 Jerusalem is [like] a beautiful pasture [full of sheep], but it will soon be destroyed.
Panně krásné a rozkošné připodobnil jsem byl dceru Sionskou.
3 [Enemy kings, not] shepherds [MET], will come [with their armies] and set up their tents around the city, and each [king will choose a part of the city for his soldiers to destroy like] [MET] shepherds divide their pastures for their flocks of sheep.
Ale přitáhnou k ní pastýři s stády svými, rozbijí proti ní stany vůkol, spase každý místo své.
4 [The kings will tell their troops], “Get ready for the battle. We should attack them before noontime. But [if we arrive there late in the afternoon] when the shadows are becoming long,
Vyzdvihněte proti ní válku, vstaňte a přitrhněme o poledni. Běda nám, že pomíjí den, že se roztáhli stínové večerní.
5 we will attack them at night and tear down their fortresses.”
Vstaňte a přitrhněme v noci, a zkazme paláce její.
6 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, says this: “[I will command those soldiers to] cut down the trees [outside Jerusalem] and to build dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [in order that they can enter the city]. This city must be punished because everyone there continually oppresses others.
Takto zajisté praví Hospodin zástupů: Nasekejte dříví, a zdělejte proti Jeruzalému náspy. Toť jest to město, kteréž navštíveno býti musí; což ho koli, jen nátisk jest u prostřed něho.
7 [It is as though] the wicked things that the people do pour out of the city like [SIM] water flows out of a spring. [The noise from people doing] violent and destructive actions is heard everywhere. I continually see [people who are] suffering and wounded.
Jakož studnice vypryšťuje vodu svou, tak ono vypryšťuje zlost svou. Nátisk a zhoubu slyšeti v něm před oblíčejem mým ustavičně, bolest i bití.
8 Listen to what I am warning you, [you people of] [APO] Jerusalem, because if you do not listen, I will reject you and cause your land to become desolate, a land where no one lives.”
Usmysl sobě, ó Jeruzaléme, aby se neodloučila duše má od tebe, abych tě neobrátil v pustinu, v zemi nebydlitelnou.
9 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, also says this: “[I will tell your enemies] to cause your country to become as desolate [SIM] as a vineyard from which all the grapes have been completely stripped from the vines. [Their soldiers will seize the possessions of] those who remain in Israel [after the others have been exiled] like [SIM] farmers go to the vines again to pick any grapes [that were (left/not picked)].”
Takto praví Hospodin zástupů: Jistě paběrovati budou jako vinný kmen ostatek Izraele, říkajíce: Sahej rukou svou jako ten, kterýž víno zbírá do putny.
10 [Then I said, “If I speak to the Israeli people] to warn them, (who will listen to me?/No one will listen to me.) [RHQ] [It is as though] their ears are closed, [and as a result] they cannot hear [what I say]. They scorn Yahweh’s messages; they do not want to listen to them at all.
Komuž mluviti budu, a kým osvědčovati, aby slyšeli? Aj, neobřezané jsou uši jejich, tak že nemohou pozorovati; aj, slovo Hospodinovo mají v posměchu, a nemají líbosti v něm.
11 So [now] I am extremely angry, like Yahweh is angry, and I cannot restrain it any longer.” [So] Yahweh said [to me], “Tell everyone that you are very angry with them. Tell the children in the streets and the young men who gather together. Tell the men and their wives; tell the very old people [DOU], also.
Protož plný jsem prchlivosti Hospodinovy, ustal jsem, drže ji v sobě. Vylita bude i na maličké vně, spolu i na shromáždění mládenců, ovšem pak muž s ženou jat bude, stařec s kmetem.
12 [Tell the men that] I will give their houses to [their enemies], and I will give their property/fields and their wives to them, also, when I punish [IDM] the people who live in this land.
A dostanou se domové jejich jiným, též pole i ženy, když vztáhnu ruku svou na obyvatele této země, dí Hospodin.
13 Everyone is trying to get money by tricking others, from the most [important people] to the least [important people]; even the prophets and the priests are trying to deceive [people to get money].
Od nejmenšího zajisté z nich, až do největšího z nich, všickni napořád vydali se v lakomství, anobrž od proroka až do kněze všickni napořád provodí faleš.
14 [They act as though the sins of my people are like] [MET] small wounds that they do not need to put bandages on. They continually [greet people by] saying ‘I hope things are going well with you,’ when things are not going well.
A hojí potření dcery lidu mého povrchu, říkajíce: Pokoj, pokoj, ješto není žádného pokoje.
15 They should be [RHQ] ashamed about the disgusting things that they do, but they are not ashamed at all. They do not [even] know how to (blush/show on their faces that they are ashamed). So, they also will be among those who will be killed. They will be destroyed when I punish them.”
Styděli-liž se pak co proto, že ohavnost páchali? Aniž se lid co styděl, aniž jich proroci k zahanbení přivesti uměli. Protož padnou mezi padajícími; v čas, v němž je navštívím, klesnou, praví Hospodin.
16 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to the Israeli people]: “Stand at the crossroads and look [at the people who pass by]. Ask them what was the good behavior [that their ancestors had] long ago. [And when they tell you], behave that way. If you do that, you will find rest for your souls.” But you replied, ‘We do not want to do that!’
Když takto říkával Hospodin: Zastavte se na cestách, a pohleďte, a vyptejte se na stezky staré, která jest cesta dobrá, i choďte po ní, a naleznete odpočinutí duši své, tedy říkávali: Nebudeme choditi.
17 I sent [my prophets who were like] [MET] watchmen. They said, ‘Listen carefully when we blow the trumpets [to warn you that your enemies are approaching],’ but you said, ‘[No], we do not want to listen.’
Když jsem pak ustanovil nad vámi strážné, řka: Mějtež pozor na zvuk trouby, tedy říkávali: Nebudeme pozorovati.
18 Therefore, you people in the other nations, listen to this: Pay attention to what is going to happen to the [Israeli people].
Protož slyšte, ó národové, a poznej, ó shromáždění, co se děje mezi nimi.
19 Listen, all of you! I am going to cause the [Israeli] people to experience disasters. That is what will happen to them because they have refused to listen to what I told them. They have refused to obey my laws.
Slyš, ó země: Aj, já uvedu zlé na lid tento, ovoce myšlení jejich, proto že nepozorují slov mých, ani zákona mého, ale jím pohrdají.
20 [You Israeli people], when you burn frankincense that came from [far away in] Sheba, and [when you offer to me] sweet-smelling anointing oil that came from far away, I will not [RHQ] be pleased with your sacrifices. I will not accept the sacrifices that are completely burned on the altar; I am not pleased with [any of] your sacrifices.
K čemuž mi kadidlo z Sáby přichází, a vonná třtina výborná z země daleké? Zápalů vašich nelibuji sobě, aniž oběti vaše jsou mi příjemné.
21 Therefore, I will put obstacles on the roads on which my people will travel. Men and their sons and people’s neighbors and friends will stumble over those obstacles and fall down; everyone will die.”
Protož takto praví Hospodin: Aj, já nakladu lidu tomuto úrazů, a zurážejí se o ně otcové, tolikéž i synové, soused i bližní jeho, a zahynou.
22 Yahweh [also] says this: “You will see a [huge] army marching [towards you] from the north. [An army of] a great nation very far away is preparing [to attack you].
Takto praví Hospodin: Aj, lid přitáhne z země půlnoční, a národ veliký povstane od končin země.
23 They have bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. As they ride along on their horses, the horses’ feet sound like the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you people of Jerusalem.”
Lučiště i kopí pochytí, každý ukrutný bude, a neslitují se. Hlas jejich jako moře zvučeti bude, a na koních jezditi budou, zšikovaní jako muž k boji, proti tobě, ó dcero Sionská.
24 [The people of Jerusalem say], “We have heard reports about the enemy; [so] we are very frightened, with the result that we feel weak. We are very afraid, and worried, like [SIM] women who are about to give birth to babies.
Jakž uslyšíme pověst o něm, opadnou ruce naše; ssoužení zachvátí nás, a bolest jako rodičku.
25 [So one person says to another], ‘Do not go out into the fields! Do not go on the roads, because the enemy [soldiers] have swords [and they are everywhere]; they are coming from all directions, and we are extremely afraid.’”
Nevycházejte na pole, a na cestu nechoďte; nebo meč nepřítele a strach jest vůkol.
26 [So I say], “My dear people, put on (sackcloth/rough clothes) and sit in ashes [to show that you are sorry for your sins]. Mourn and cry very much, like [SIM] [a woman would cry] if her only son had died, because your enemies are very near, and they are going to destroy [everything].”
Ó dcero lidu mého, přepaš se žíní, a válej se v popele. Vydej se v kvílení, jako po synu jednorozeném, v kvílení přehořké; nebo náhle přitáhne zhoubce na nás.
27 [Then Yahweh said to me], “[Jeremiah], I have caused you to become [like] [MET] someone who heats metal very hot [to completely burn the impurities]. You will examine my people’s behavior.
Dal jsem tě za věži v lidu tvém, a za baštu, abys spatřoval a zkušoval cesty jejich.
28 You will find out that they are very stubborn rebels, they are always slandering others. [Their inner beings] are as hard as bronze or iron; they all [continually] deceive others.
Všickni jsou z zarputilých nejzarputilejší, chodí jako utrhač, jsou ocel a železo, všickni napořád zhoubcové jsou.
29 [A metalworker causes] the bellows to blow very hard to [make the fire very hot to] completely burn up the impurities [MET]. [But just as] a fire does not cause all the waste material to run off, it is impossible to separate [the righteous people from the wicked people, and punish only] the wicked people.
Prahnou měchy, od ohně mizí olovo, nadarmo ustavičně přepaluje zlatník; nebo zlé věci nemohou býti odděleny.
30 [I], Yahweh, have rejected them; I say that they are [like] [MET] worthless silver.”
Stříbrem falešným nazovou je, nebo Hospodin zavrhl je.
