¹A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

²Synu človeka, prorokuj proti prorokom Izraelovým, ktorí prorokujú, a povieš prorokom, prorokujúcim zo svojho srdca: Počujte slovo Hospodinovo!

²`Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah:

³Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Beda bláznivým prorokom, ktorí idú za svojím duchom a prorokujú bez toho, že by boli niečo videli.

³Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.

⁴Jako líšky v spustošených miestach sú tvoji proroci, Izraelu!

⁴As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.

⁵Nevystúpili ste hore k trhlinám ani ste nepostavili ohrady vôkol domu Izraelovho, aby ste obstáli v boji v deň Hospodinov.

⁵Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.

⁶Vídajú márnosť a veštia lož, ktorí hovoria: Hospodin hovorí, a Hospodin ich neposlal, a robia nádej, že postavia slovo.

⁶They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.

⁷Či azda nevídavate márneho videnia a nehovoríte lživého veštenia? A hovoríte: Hospodin hovorí. A ja som nehovoril.

⁷A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?

⁸Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Preto, že hovoríte márnosť a vídate lož, preto hľa, ja som proti vám, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

⁸Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

⁹A tak bude moja ruka proti prorokom, ktorí vídajú márnosť a veštia lož. Nebudú v rade môjho ľudu, ani nebudú zapísaní v popise domu Izraelovho ani nevojdú do zeme Izraelovej. A zviete, že ja som Pán Hospodin.

⁹And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁰Preto, a tedy preto, že uviedli môj ľud do bludu hovoriac: Pokoj, kým nieto pokoja. A keď on stavia hlinenú stenu, oni, hľa, ju zatierajú ničomným mazom.

¹⁰Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk.

¹¹Povedz tým natieračom bezcenného mazu, že opadne. Prijde zaplavujúci lejak, a vy, kamene krupobitia, padnete, a vyrúti sa búrlivý vietor!

¹¹Say to those daubing with chalk — It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend,

¹²A hľa, stena padne. Či vám azda nepovedia: No, kdeže je maz, ktorým ste boli omazali?

¹²And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?

¹³Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Učiním to, že sa vyrúti búrlivý vietor v mojej prchlivosti, a zaplavujúci lejak prijde v mojom hneve a kamene krupobitia v prchlivosti na úplnú zkazu.

¹³Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury — to consume.

¹⁴A rozváľam stenu, ktorú ste omazali ničomným mazom, a povalím ju na zem, takže bude odkrytý jej základ. A padne Jeruzalem, a pohyniete v jeho strede a zviete, že ja som Hospodin.

¹⁴And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁵A dokonám svoju prchlivosť na stene i na tých, ktorí ju zatierajú mazom, a poviem vám: Niet steny, a niet ani tých, ktorí ju zatierali,

¹⁵And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;

¹⁶prorokov Izraelových, ktorí prorokovali Jeruzalemu a ktorí mu vídavali videnie pokoja, kým nebolo pokoja, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

¹⁶The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁷A ty, synu človeka, obráť svoju tvár k dcéram svojho ľudu, ktoré prorokujú zo svojho srdca, a prorokuj proti nim.

¹⁷And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,

¹⁸A povieš: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Beda tým, ktoré sošívajú obväzky na všetky kĺby rúk a robia čapice na hlavu každej postavy, aby lovily duše. Či budete loviť duše môjho ľudu a živiť svoje duše?

¹⁸And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature — to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive?

¹⁹A znesväcujete mňa u môjho ľudu za nejakú hrsť jačmeňa a za nejaký kus chleba usmrcujúc duše, ktoré by nemaly zomrieť, a zachovávajúc pri živote duše, ktoré nemajú žiť, svojím luhaním môjmu ľudu, ktorý počúva lož.

¹⁹Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people — hearkening to lies.

²⁰Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, ja prijdem na vaše obväzky, do ktorých lovíte duše, aby lietaly. A roztrhám ich, a strhám s vašich ramien a prepustím duše, duše, ktoré lovíte, aby lietaly do záhuby.

²⁰Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.

²¹A roztrhám i vaše čapice a vytrhnem svoj ľud z vašej ruky, a nebudú viacej vo vašej ruke za lov, a zviete, že ja som Hospodin.

²¹And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

²²Preto, že trápite srdce spravedlivého lžou, kým som mu ja nespôsobil bolesti, a že posilňujete ruky bezbožného, aby sa nevrátil so svojej zlej cesty zachrániť svoj život,

²²Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive,

²³preto nebudete už vídať márnosti ani nebudete viacej veštiť, ale vytrhnem svoj ľud z vašej ruky, a zviete, že ja som Hospodin.

²³Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
