Jeremiah 9
1 I wish that my head was [like] [MET] a spring of water, and that my eyes were [like] a fountain of tears. Then I would cry night and day for all of my people who have been killed [by our enemies].
Ó kdo mi to dá, aby hlava má byla vodou, a oči mé pramenem slzí, abych dnem i nocí oplakati mohl zmordovaných dcerky lidu svého.
2 I wish that I could leave my people and forget them, and go and live in a shack/shelter in the desert, because they have not remained faithful [MET] [to Yahweh]; they are a mob of people who deceive others.
Ó kdo mne postaví na poušti v hospodě pocestných, abych opustil lid svůj, a odešel od nich; nebo všickni jsou cizoložníci, zběř zpronevěřilých,
3 [Yahweh replied to me], “They use their tongues [to tell] [MET] lies like people shoot [arrows] with bows. It is because they tell lies that they have become more powerful in this land, and they do not know me.
A natahují jazyka svého ke lži jako lučiště své. Zmocnili se na zemi, ale ne k pravdě; nebo ze zlého ve zlé jdou, a mne neznají, praví Hospodin.
4 Do not trust your neighbors and [even] your brothers! They all are as deceitful [as Jacob was]. They slander [each other] and tell lies [about each other].
Každý střez se bližního svého, a nekaždému bratru se dověřuj; nebo každý bratr hledí všelijak podtrhnouti, a každý bližní jako utrhač chodí.
5 They deceive their friends and never tell the truth. They lie continually and, because of that, they have become skilled liars; they do one oppressive thing after another, and are unable to stop doing it.
A jeden každý bližního svého oklamává, a pravdy nemluví; učí jazyk svůj mluviti lež, neprávě činíce, ustávají.
6 They habitually lie and deceive [each other], and no one will admit/say that I am God.
Tvůj byt jest u prostřed lidu přelstivého; pro lest nechtějí mne poznati, dí Hospodin.
7 Therefore [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: Listen carefully to what I say: I will [cause my people to experience great afflictions, ] [like a metalworker puts metal in a hot fire] [MET] to completely burn out the impure bits. Because of all [the evil things] that my people have done, there is absolutely nothing else [RHQ] that I can do.
Z té příčiny takto praví Hospodin zástupů: Aj, já přeháněje, pruboval jsem je. Jakž tedy již naložiti mám s dcerou lidu svého?
8 What they say [MTY] [injures people like] [MET] poisoned arrows do. They say to their neighbors, ‘I hope things will go well for you,’ while they are planning to kill them.
Střela zabíjející jest jazyk jejich, lest mluví. Ústy svými pokojně s bližním svým mluví, ale v srdci svém skládá úklady své.
9 Should I not punish them for doing that [RHQ]? Yes, I should certainly (get revenge on/give what they deserve to) [the people of] a nation that does things like that!”
Zdali pro takové věci nemám jich navštíviti? dí Hospodin. Zdaliž nad národem takovým nemá mstíti duše má?
10 So, I will weep and wail for [the people who live in] the mountains and in the (pastures/places where the livestock eat the grass), because those areas will be desolate, and no one will live there. There will be no cattle there to call to each other, and all the birds and wild animals will have fled [to other places].
Pro tyto hory dám se v pláč a v naříkání, a pro pastviště, kteráž jsou na poušti, v kvílení; nebo popálena budou, tak že nebude žádného, kdo by skrze ně šel, aniž bude slyšán hlas dobytka. Od ptactva nebeského až do hovada všecko se odbéře a odejde.
11 [Yahweh also says], “I will cause Jerusalem to become a heap of ruins, and [only] jackals/wolves will live there. I will destroy the towns of Judah, with the result that they will be completely deserted; no one will live there.”
A obrátím Jeruzalém v hromady, příbytek draků, a města Judská obrátím v pustinu, tak že nebude obyvatele.
12 [I said], “Only people who are very wise [RHQ] can understand these things. Only those who have been taught by Yahweh can [RHQ] explain these things to others. The wise people are [RHQ] the only ones who can explain why the land will be completely ruined with the result that everyone [RHQ] will be afraid to travel through it.”
Kdo jest ten muž moudrý, ješto by rozuměl tomu? A k komu mluvila ústa Hospodinova, ješto by oznamoval to, proč zahynouti má tato země, a vypálena býti jako poušť, tak aby nebylo, kdo by skrze ni šel?
13 Yahweh replied, “[These things will happen] because my people have rejected my laws which I gave to them; they have not obeyed me or my instructions.
Nebo praví Hospodin: Proto že opustili zákon můj, kterýž jsem jim předložil, a neposlouchali hlasu mého, aniž chodili za ním,
14 Instead, they have stubbornly done the things that they wanted to do. They have worshiped the idols that represent the god Baal, which is what their ancestors did.
Ale chodili za myšlénkami srdce svého a za Báli, čemuž je naučili otcové jejich:
15 So now listen to what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God of the Israelis, say: [What I will do will be like] [MET] giving these people bitter things to eat and poison to drink:
Protož takto praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský: Aj, já nakrmím je, totiž lid tento, pelynkem, a napojím je vodou jedovatou.
16 I will scatter them to many nations which neither they nor their ancestors have known [anything about]; I will [enable their enemies to] strike them with swords until I have destroyed them.”
Nebo rozptýlím je mezi národy, kterýchž neznali oni, ani otcové jejich, a posílati budu za nimi meč, až je do konce vyhladím.
17 This is also what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Think [about what is happening], [then] summon those women who mourn [when someone has died].
Takto praví Hospodin zástupů: Pilně považte, a svolejte ty, kteréž naříkávají, ať přijdou, a k těm, kteréž jsou vycvičené, pošlete, aby přišly.
18 Tell them to come quickly and start to wail, with the result that tears will stream down from your(pl) eyes.
Nechť pospíší, a dadí se nad námi v naříkání, aby slzy tekly z očí našich, a víčka naše oplývala vodou.
19 Listen to [the people of] Jerusalem crying/lamenting, saying, ‘We have been ruined/destroyed! We have experienced a terrible disaster! Now we are very ashamed, because our houses have been destroyed [by our enemies], and we [are being forced to] leave our land.’”
Hlas zajisté naříkání slyšeti z Siona: Jak jsme pohubeni! Stydíme se náramně, že jsme ztratili zemi, že boří příbytky naše.
20 You women, listen to what Yahweh says [MTY]. Pay attention to his words [DOU]. Teach your daughters to wail. Teach each other how to sing funeral songs,
Anobrž slyšte, ženy, slovo Hospodinovo, a nechť přijme ucho vaše slovo úst jeho, abyste učily dcerky své naříkání, a jedna každá tovaryšku svou kvílení.
21 because people will be dying [PRS] in your houses and in palaces. There will be no more children playing in the streets, there will be no more young men [gathering] in the city squares/marketplaces.
Nebo vlezla smrt okny našimi, vešla na paláce naše, aby vyhubila děti z rynků a mládence z ulic.
22 There will be corpses scattered across the fields like dung; their dead bodies will lie there like [SIM] grain that has been cut by reapers/farmers, and there will be no one [still alive] to bury them.
(Mluv i to: Takto dí Hospodin: ) A padla mrtvá těla lidská jako hnůj po poli, a jako snopové za žencem, a není žádného, kdo by pochoval.
23 Yahweh says this: “Wise men should not boast about their being wise, strong men should not boast about their being strong; and rich people should not boast about their being rich.
Takto praví Hospodin: Nechlub se moudrý v moudrosti své, ani se chlub silný v síle své, aniž se chlub bohatý v bohatství svém.
24 Instead, those who want to boast should boast about their knowing me and about understanding that I am Yahweh, that I am kind and just and righteous, that I faithfully love [people], and that I am delighted with [people who act] that way.
Ale v tom nechť se chlubí, kdo se chlubí, že rozumí a zná mne, že já jsem Hospodin, kterýž činím milosrdenství, soud i spravedlnost na zemi; nebo v těch věcech líbost mám, dí Hospodin.
25 There will be a time when I will punish all those people of Egypt and of the Moab people-group and of the Edom [people-group] and of the Ammon [people-group], all those people who live close to desert areas (OR, who cut their hair short [to please their gods]) far from Judah, all those people who have [changed their bodies by] circumcising them [MET] but who have not [changed] their inner beings. I will punish the people of Judah also, because they have not changed their inner beings, [either].”
Aj, dnové jdou, praví Hospodin, v nichž navštívím každého, obřezaného i neobřezaného,
Egyptské i Judské, a Idumejské i Ammonitské, a Moábské, i všecky, kteříž v nejzadnějším koutě bydlí na poušti. Nebo ti všickni národové jsou neobřezaní, tolikéž všecken dům Izraelský jest neobřezaného srdce.
