¹Takto mi povedal Hospodin: Iď a kúpiš si ľanový opasok a opášeš ho na svoje bedrá, ale ho nedáš do vody.

¹Thus says Yahweh to me, Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.

²A tak som kúpil opasok podľa slova Hospodinovho a opásal som ho na svoje bedrá.

²So I bought a belt according to the word of Yahweh, and put it on my waist.

³Potom stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne po druhé povediac:

³The word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying,

⁴Vezmi opasok, ktorý si kúpil, ktorý je na tvojich bedrách, a vstanúc idi k Eufratu a skry ho tam v skalnej trhline.

⁴Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

⁵A odišiel som a skryl som ho pri Eufrate tak, ako mi prikázal Hospodin.

⁵So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me.

⁶Potom stalo sa po mnohých dňoch, že mi povedal Hospodin: Vstaň, idi k Eufratu a vezmi odtiaľ opasok, o ktorom som ti prikázal, aby si ho tam skryl.

⁶It happened after many days, that Yahweh said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

⁷A išiel som k Eufratu a vykopúc vzal som opasok z miesta, kde som ho bol skryl. A hľa, opasok bol zkazený, nehodil sa na nič.

⁷Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

⁸Vtedy stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

⁸Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁹Takto hovorí Hospodin: Takto zkazím pýchu Júdovu i mnohú pýchu Jeruzalema,

⁹Thus says Yahweh, In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

¹⁰tohoto zlostného ľudu, ktorí nechcú poslúchať moje slová, ktorí chodia podľa umienenosti svojho srdca a chodia za inými bohmi, aby im slúžili a aby sa im klaňali. A bude jako tento opasok, ktorý sa nehodí na nič.

¹⁰This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.

¹¹Lebo jako sa pojí opasok k bedrám muža, tak som bol pripojil k sebe celý dom Izraelov a celý dom Júdov, hovorí Hospodin, aby mi boli ľudom a na meno, na chválu a na ozdobu, ale neposlúchali.

¹¹For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Yahweh; that they may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

¹²A povieš im toto slovo: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Každý žbán sa naplní vínom. A povedia ti: Či my nevieme dobre, že sa každý žbán naplní vínom?

¹²Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall tell you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

¹³A povieš im: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, naplním všetkých obyvateľov tejto zeme i kráľov, ktorí sedia Dávidovi na jeho tróne, i kňazov i prorokov i všetkých obyvateľov Jeruzalema opilosťou.

¹³Then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

¹⁴A porozrážam ich jedného o druhého, a to otcov i synov spolu, hovorí Hospodin. Nebudem šetriť ani nebudem ľutovať ani sa nezľutujem tak, aby som ich nezkazil.

¹⁴I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Yahweh: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.

¹⁵Počujte, nakloňte svoje uši, nebuďte vysokomyseľní, lebo Hospodin hovorí!

¹⁵Hear, and give ear; don’t be proud; for Yahweh has spoken.

¹⁶Dajte Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, slávu, prv ako uvedie tmu, a prv ako a zurážajú vaše nohy na vrchoch mrákavy. Lebo potom budete čakať na svetlo, ale ho obráti na tôňu smrti, premení ho na mrákavu.

¹⁶Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.

¹⁷Ak neposlúchnete toho, na skrytých miestach bude plakať moja duša pre vašu prostopaš a potečie slzami, a moje oko bude roniť horké slzy, lebo zajaté bude stádo Hospodinovo.

¹⁷But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because Yahweh’s flock is taken captive.

¹⁸Povedz kráľovi i kráľovnej: Sadnite hlboko dolu, lebo sostúpi ozdoba vašej hlavy, koruna vašej slávy.

¹⁸Say to the king and to the queen mother, Humble yourselves, sit down; for your headdresses have come down, even the crown of your glory.

¹⁹Mestá juhu budú pozavierané, a nebude nikoho, kto by otvoril; do zajatia bude prestehované celé Judsko, bude úplne prestehované.

¹⁹The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them: Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.

²⁰Pozdvihnite svoje oči a vidzte tých, ktorí prichádzajú od severa! Kde je to stádo, ktoré ti bolo dané, dcéro Júdova, drobné stádo tvojej slávy?

²⁰Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?

²¹Čo povieš, keď ustanoví nad tebou za hlavu tých, ktorých si ty sama učila byť kniežatami nad tebou? Či ťa nepochytia bolesti jako ženu, ktorá ide porodiť?

²¹What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?

²²A keď povieš vo svojom srdci: Prečo by maly tie veci prijsť na mňa? Pre množstvo tvojej neprávosti budú odhalené tvoje podolky, trýznené budú tvoje päty.

²²If you say in your heart, Why are these things come on me? for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.

²³Či voľakedy zmení murín svoju kožu alebo pardus svoje škvrny? Tak aj vy budete môcť robiť dobré naučiac sa robiť zlé.

²³Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

²⁴A preto ich rozptýlim ako plevy, ktoré ta idú s vetrom na púšti.

²⁴Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.

²⁵To bude tvoj los, podiel, tebe odmeraný odo mňa, hovorí Hospodin, pretože si zabudla na mňa a nadejala si sa na faloš.

²⁵This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says Yahweh; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

²⁶Preto i ja vykašem tvoje podolky nad tvoju tvár, a tak sa bude vidieť tvoja hanba;

²⁶Therefore will I also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.

²⁷tvoje cudzoložstvá, tvoje rehotanie, mrzkosť tvojeho smilstva na kopcoch na poli; videl som tvoje hnusoby. Oj, beda tebe, Jeruzaleme! Či len nebudeš čistý? Dokedy ešte?

²⁷I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
