¹And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

²Synu človeka, prorokuj proti pastierom Izraelovým, prorokuj a povieš im, tým pastierom: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Oj, beda pastierom Izraelovým, ktorí pasú sami seba! Či azda nemajú pastieri pásť stádo?

³Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

³Tuk jete a vlnou sa odievate, vykŕmené zabíjate, stáda nepasiete.

⁴The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

⁴Chorľavých zo stáda neposilňujete, nemocného neliečite, zlámaného neobväzujete a zaplašeného nenavracujete ani zahynulého nehľadáte, ale prísne panujete nad nimi a tvrde.

⁵And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

⁵A tak sú rozptýlené, nemajúce pastiera, a sú za pokrm všelijakej zveri poľnej a sú rozptýlené.

⁶My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

⁶Blúdia, moje stádo, po všetkých vrchoch a na každom brehu vysokom, sú rozptýlení, moje stádo, po celej tvári zeme, a nie je nikoho, kto by sa po nich pýtal, ani nie je nikoho, kto by hľadal.

⁷Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

⁷Preto, pastieri, počujte slovo Hospodinovo:

⁸As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

⁸Jako že ja žijem, hovorí Pán Hospodin, preto, že je moje stádo za lúpež, a že je moje stádo za žrádlo všelijakej zveri poľnej, preto, že nieto pastiera, a že moji pastieri sa nepýtajú po mojom stáde, ale že pastieri pasú sami seba a môjho stáda nepasú:

⁹Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

⁹preto, pastieri, počujte slovo Hospodinovo:

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

¹⁰Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, prijdem na pastierov a budem vyhľadávať svoje stádo z ich ruky a učiním koniec ich paseniu stáda, ani nebudú tí pastieri viacej pásť sami seba, ale vytrhnem svoje ovce z ich úst, aby im neboly za pokrm.

¹¹For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

¹¹Lebo takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, ja sám prijdem a vyhľadám svoje ovce a pozriem sa na ne.

¹²As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

¹²Ako pastier prehliada svoje stádo v deň, v ktorý je medzi svojimi rozprchlými ovcami, tak i ja budem prehliadať svoje ovce a vytrhnem ich zo všetkých miest, kde sú rozptýlení, v deň hustého oblaku a mrákavy.

¹³And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

¹³A vyvediem ich z národov a shromaždím ich zo zemí a dovediem ich do ich zeme a budem ich pásť po vrchoch Izraelových, popri potokoch a na všetkých miestach zeme, súcich na bývanie.

¹⁴I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

¹⁴Budem ich pásť na dobrej paši, a na vrchoch výšiny Izraelovej bude ich pastva; tam budú líhať odpočívajúc na dobrom pasienku a budú sa pásť na tučnej paši po vrchoch Izraelových.

¹⁵I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁵Ja budem pásť svoje ovce a ja spôsobím to, aby odpočívajúc líhaly v pokoji, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

¹⁶I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

¹⁶Vyhľadám ztratené a navrátim zaplašené, obviažem polámané a nemocné posilním, ale tučné a silné zahladím; budem ho pásť v súde.

¹⁷And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

¹⁷A vy, moje stádo, takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, budem súdiť medzi dobytčaťom a dobytčaťom, medzi baranmi a kozlami.

¹⁸Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

¹⁸Či vám je to málo, že spášate dobrú pašu a ostatok svojej paše šliapete svojimi nohami? A či vám to málo, že pijete usadlú vodu čistú a ostatné kalíte svojimi nohami?

¹⁹And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

¹⁹A či sa majú moje ovce pásť na tom, čo ste vy pošliapali svojimi nohami, alebo tiež či majú piť to, čo ste vy zakalili svojimi nohami?

²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

²⁰Preto takto im hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, ja sám prijdem a budem súdiť medzi tučným dobytčaťom a medzi chudým dobytčaťom.

²¹Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

²¹Pretože bokom i plecom strkáte a svojimi rohami koliete všetky chorľavé, dokiaľ ich len von nerozptýlite,

²²Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

²²zachránim svoje stádo, aby nebolo viacej za lúpež, a budem súdiť medzi dobytčaťom a dobytčaťom.

²³And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²³A postavím nad nimi jedného pastiera, a bude ich pásť, svojho služobníka Dávida, ten ich bude pásť a ten im bude pastierom.

²⁴And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

²⁴A ja Hospodin im budem Bohom, a môj služobník Dávid bude kniežaťom prostred nich. Ja Hospodin som hovoril.

²⁵And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

²⁵A učiním s nimi smluvu pokoja a urobím koniec zlej zveri a odpracem ju zo zeme, a budú bývať i na púšti bezpečne a spávať po lesoch.

²⁶And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

²⁶Učiním ich ako aj okolie svojho brehu požehnaním, a dám to, aby padal dážď svojím časom; budú to dažde požehnania.

²⁷And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

²⁷A tak vydá strom na poli svoje ovocie, a zem vydá svoju úrodu, a budú bezpeční na svojej zemi a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin, keď polámem svory ich jarma a vytrhnem ich z ruky tých, ktorí robia na nich.

²⁸And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

²⁸Nebudú viacej za lúpež národom, ani ich nebude žrať zver zeme; ale budú bývať bezpečne, a nebude nikoho, kto by prestrašil.

²⁹And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

²⁹A vzbudím im sadenec slávneho mena, a nebudú viacej spratávaní hladom v zemi ani neponesú viacej potupy národov.

³⁰Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.

³⁰A zvedia, že ja Hospodin, ich Bôh, som s nimi, a že oni sú môj ľud, dom Izraelov, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

³¹And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.

³¹A vy, moje stádo, stádo mojej pastvy, ste ľudia; ja som váš Bôh, hovorí Pán Hospodin.
