¹“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ ‘Ammi’ in Hebrew and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’ ‘Ruhamah’ in Hebrew

¹Povedzte mojim bratom: Ammi, a svojim sestrám: Rucháma.

²Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

²Pravoťte sa so svojou materou, pravoťte! Lebo ona nie je mojou ženou, ani ja nie som jej mužom. A nech odstráni svoje smilstvá so svojej tvári a svoje cudzoložstvá zpomedzi svojich pŕs,

³Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

³aby som ju nevyzliekol do naha a nepostavil ju takú, jaká bola v deň, v ktorý sa narodila, a učinil by som ju podobnou púšti a urobil by som ju podobnou vypráhlej zemi a umoril by som ju smädom.

⁴Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;

⁴A nezľutoval by som sa ani nad jej synmi, pretože sú synmi zo smilstva.

⁵For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

⁵Lebo ich mater smilnila, hanebnosť páchala tá, ktorá ich počala, pretože povedala: Pojdem za svojimi milencami, ktorí mi dávajú môj chlieb a moju vodu, moju vlnu a môj ľan, môj olej a moje nápoje.

⁶Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.

⁶Preto hľa, opletiem tvoju cestu tŕnim a ohradím ju ohradou. A nenajde svojich chodníkov.

⁷She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.’

⁷A bude honiť svojich milencov, ale ich nedostihne, bude ich hľadať, ale nenajde. A povie: Pojdem ja a navrátim sa k svojemu prvému mužovi, lebo vtedy mi bolo lepšie ako teraz.

⁸For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

⁸A ona nevie, že som to ja, ktorý som jej dával obilie a vínnu šťavu a olej a že ja som jej rozmnožil striebro a zlato, ktoré vynakladali na Bála.

⁹Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

⁹Preto zase poberiem svoje obilie v jeho čas a svoju vínnu šťavu v jej určenú dobu a vytrhnem svoju vlnu a svoj ľan, upotrebované na pokrytie jej nahoty.

¹⁰Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

¹⁰A tak teraz odkryjem jej mrzkosť pred očami jej milencov, a niktorý z nich ju nevytrhne z mojej ruky.

¹¹I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

¹¹A učiním prietrž všetkej jej radosti, jej sviatku, jej novmesiacu a jej sobote i každej jej výročnej slávnosti.

¹²I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,’ and the animals of the field shall eat them.

¹²A spustoším jej vinič a jej fík, o ktorých hovorí: To mi je mzda za smilstvo, ktorú mi dali moji milenci; obrátim ich v horu, a požerie ich poľná zver.

¹³I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,” says Yahweh.

¹³A navštívim na nej dni všelijakých Bálov, ktorým kadila, a ozdobujúc sa svojimi náušnicami a svojimi náhrdelnými šperky chodila za svojimi milencami a na mňa zabudla, hovorí Hospodin.

¹⁴“Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

¹⁴Preto hľa, ja ju prehovorím a vyvediem ju na púšť a budem hovoriť k jej srdcu.

¹⁵I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁵A dám jej jej vinice až odtiaľ aj údolie Áchor za dvere nádeje, a tam odpovie ako za dní svojej mladosti a jako v deň, v ktorý išla hore z Egyptskej zeme.

¹⁶It will be in that day,” says Yahweh, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’

¹⁶A stane sa toho dňa, hovorí Hospodin, že ma budeš volať: Íši, a nebudeš ma viacej volať: Báli.

¹⁷For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

¹⁷A odstránim mená Bálov z jej úst, ani sa nebudú viacej spomínať svojím menom.

¹⁸In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

¹⁸A učiním im smluvu v ten deň s poľnou zverou i s nebeským vtáctvom i so zemským plazom a polámem lučište, meč i vojnu a odpracem zo zeme a spôsobím to, aby líhali bezpečne.

¹⁹I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

¹⁹A zasnúbim si ťa na večnosť a zasnúbim si ťa v spravedlivosti a v súde, v milosti a v mnohom zľutovaní

²⁰I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.

²⁰a zasnúbim si ťa vo vernosti, a poznáš Hospodina.

²¹It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh, “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

²¹A stane sa toho dňa. že sa ohlásim, hovorí Hospodin, že sa ohlásim nebesiam, a ony sa ohlásia zemi,

²²and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.

²²a zem sa ohlási obiliu, vínnej šťave a olejú, a ony sa ohlásia Jizreelu.

²³I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’”

²³A rozosejem si ju po zemi a zľutujem sa nad Ló-ruchámou a poviem Ló-ammimu: Ty si môj ľud, a on povie: Môj Bôh!
