1At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
1V tom čase, hovorí Hospodin, vyberú kosti kráľov Júdových i kosti jeho kniežat i kosti kňazov i kosti prorokov i kosti obyvateľov Jeruzalema z ich hrobov
2And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
2a rozmecú ich slnku, mesiacu a všetkému vojsku nebies, ktoré milujú, ktorým slúžia, za ktorými chodia, ktoré hľadajú a ktorým sa klaňajú. Nebudú sobrané ani pochované; hnojivom budú na tvári zeme.
3And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
3A žiadúcnejšia bude smrť ako život všetkému ostatku pozostalých, ktorí pozostanú z tejto zlej čeľade nešľachetnej, na všetkých miestach tých pozostalých, kam ich zaženiem, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov.
4Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
4A povieš im: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Či keď padnú ľudia, už viacej nepovstanú? Jestli sa niekto odvráti, či sa už viacej nevráti?
5Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
5Prečo sa potom odvracia tento ľud, Jeruzalem, večným odvrátením? Chytajú sa ľsti; odopreli navrátiť sa.
6I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
6Pozoroval som ušima a počul som: nehovoria toho, čo je pravé; nie je nikoho, kto by ľutoval svojej zlosti, aby povedal: Čo som to urobil?! Každý z nich sa obrátil ku svojmu behu jako kôň, ktorý sa vrhá slepo do boja.
7Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
7Kým ešte aj bocian na nebesiach zná svoje určené časy, a hrdlička, lastovička i zorav zachovávajú čas svojho príchodu; ale môj ľud nezná poriadku Hospodinovho.
8How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
8Jakože môžete povedať: Sme múdri, a zákon Hospodinov je u nás? Ale hľa, na lož robí, čo robí, lživé pero pisárov.
9The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
9Hanbiť sa budú tí múdri, budú sa desiť a budú jatí. Hľa, zavrhli slovo Hospodinovo, jakúže to tedy majú múdrosť?
10Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
10Preto dám ich ženy iným, ich polia novým majiteľom; lebo od najmenšieho až do najväčšieho, všetci, koľko ich je, oddali sa lakomstvu, od proroka až po kňaza, každý z nich robí falošne.
11For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
11A liečia skrúšenie dcéry môjho ľudu na ľahko, hovoriac: Pokoj, pokoj, kým nieto pokoja.
12Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
12A či sa azda hanbia, že páchajú ohavnosť? Ani hanbiť nehanbia sa ani sa nevedia stydieť. Preto aj padnú medzi padajúcimi v čas svojho navštívenia; klesnú, hovorí Hospodin.
13I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
13Poriadne ich odpracem, hovorí Hospodin; nebude hrozien na viniči, ani nebude fíkov na fíku, a lístie uvädne, a to, čo som im dal, prejde ta popri nich.
14Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
14Načo sedíme? Shromaždite sa, a vojdime do ohradených miest a zahyňme tam, lebo Hospodin, náš Bôh, nás umlčí, a napojí nás jedovatou vodou, pretože sme hrešili proti Hospodinovi.
15We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
15Čakaj na pokoj, ale neni dobrého, na čas uzdravenia, a hľa, des.
16The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
16Od Dána počuť fŕkanie jeho koní; od hlasu rehtania jeho mocných trasie sa celá zem. A prijdú a požerú zem i jej náplň, mesto i tých, ktorí bývajú v ňom.
17For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
17Lebo hľa, pošlem na vás hadov, jedovatých hadov, proti ktorým nieto zaklínania, a budú vás štípať, hovorí Hospodin.
18When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
18Oj, moje obveselenie v zármutku! Moje srdce je nemocné vo mne!
19Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
19Hľa, počuť hlas volania o pomoc dcéry môjho ľudu z ďalekej zeme: Či nie je Hospodin na Sione? Či niet jeho kráľa na ňom? - Prečo ma popudzovali svojimi rytinami, márnosťami cudziny?
20The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
20Žatva prešla, skončilo sa leto, a my nie sme zachránení!
21For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
21Pre skrúšenie dcéry svojho ľudu som skrúšený, smútim, hrôza ma pochytila.
22Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
22Či nieto balzamu v Gileáde? Či nieto tam lekára? Lebo prečo potom nie je zahojená rana dcéry môjho ľudu?
