¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

¹Slovo, ktoré sa stalo k Jeremiášovi od Hospodina povediac:

²Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

²Počujte slová tejto smluvy! A budete ich hovoriť mužom Júdovým a obyvateľom Jeruzalema,

³and say to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,

³a povieš im: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Zlorečený človek, ktorý by neposlúchal slov tejto smluvy,

⁴which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;

⁴ktorú som prikázal vašim otcom toho dňa, ktorého som ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme, zo železnej pece, povediac: Počúvajte na môj hlas a budete to činiť, všetko tak, ako vám prikážem, a budete mi ľudom, a ja vám budem Bohom,

⁵that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, Yahweh.

⁵aby som postavil a tak splnil prísahu, ktorú som prisahal vašim otcom, že im dám zem, ktorá tečie mliekom a medom, ako je tomu dnes. A odpovedal som a riekol: Ameň, Hospodine!

⁶Yahweh said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

⁶Potom mi riekol Hospodin: Vyhlás všetky tieto slová v mestách Júdových a na uliciach Jeruzalema a povedz: Počujte slová tejto smluvy a čiňte ich!

⁷For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

⁷Lebo dôrazne som osvedčil vašim otcom toho dňa, ktorého som ich vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme, a svedčil som až do tohoto dňa vstávajúc skoro za rána a svedčiac a hovoril som: Počúvajte na môj hlas!

⁸Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.

⁸Ale nepočúvali ani nenaklonili svojho ucha, lež chodili každý v umienenosti svojho zlého srdca. Preto som uviedol na nich všetky slová tejto smluvy, ktoré som prikázal činiť, ale oni nečinili.

⁹Yahweh said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁹A Hospodin mi riekol: Nachodí sa sprisahanie medzi mužmi Júdovými a medzi obyvateľmi Jeruzalema.

¹⁰They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

¹⁰Obrátili sa zpät k neprávostiam svojich drievnych otcov, ktorí odopreli poslúchať moje slová. A tak aj oni chodia za inými bohmi, aby im slúžili. Zrušili, dom Izraelov a dom Júdov, moju smluvu, ktorú som učinil s ich otcami.

¹¹Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

¹¹Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, uvediem na nich zlé, z ktorého nebudú môcť vyjsť a budú kričať na mňa, ale nebudem počúvať na nich.

¹²Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

¹²A tak pojdú mestá Júdove a obyvatelia Jeruzalema a budú kričať na bohov, ktorým kadia, ale pravda zachrániť nezachránia ich v čase ich zlého.

¹³For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.

¹³Lebo koľko je tvojich miest, toľko je tvojich bohov, ó, Júda, a koľko je ulíc v Jeruzaleme, toľko ste nastaväli hanebnosti oltárov, oltárov kadiť Bálovi!

¹⁴Therefore don’t pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.

¹⁴A ty sa nemodli za tento ľud ani nepozdvihuj za nich kriku ani modlitby, lebo nevyslyším, a to v čase, keď budú volať ku mne pre svoje zlé.

¹⁵What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has worked lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.

¹⁵Čo má môj milý v mojom dome? Činiť ju, nešľachetnosť mnohých? A či azda preto, že obetuješ posviatne mäso, odídu od teba tvoje hriechy?! Lebo keď môžeš páchať svoju zlosť, vtedy plesáš!

¹⁶Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.

¹⁶Zelenou olivou, krásnou ušľachtilým ovocím, ťa bol pomenoval Hospodin.- Na hukot veľkej vzbury zapáli oheň jej lístie, a polámu sa jeho konáre.

¹⁷For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.

¹⁷A Hospodin Zástupov, ktorý ťa zasadil, hovoril proti tebe zlé pre zlosť domu Izraelovho a domu Júdovho, ktorú si páchali, aby ma popudzovali kadiac Bálovi.

¹⁸Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings.

¹⁸A Hospodin mi oznámil a zvedel som. Vtedy si mi ukázal ich skutky.

¹⁹But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I didn’t know that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

¹⁹A ja som bol sťa krotký baránok, vedený na zabitie, a nevedel som, že proti mne vymýšľajú plány. Zkazme vraj strom i s jeho ovocím a vytnime ho zo zeme živých, a nech sa nespomína viacej jeho meno!

²⁰But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

²⁰Ale Hospodin Zástupov je spravedlivý sudca, ktorý zkúša ľadviny i srdce. Nech uvidím tvoju pomstu na nich, lebo tebe som zjavil a sveril svoju pravotu.

²¹Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, that you not die by our hand;

²¹Preto takto hovorí Hospodin o mužoch Anatóta, ktorí hľadajú tvoju dušu hovoriac: Neprorokuj v mene Hospodinovom, aby si nezomrel v našej ruke.

²²therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;

²²Preto takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Hľa, navštívim na nich ich neprávosť: mládenci pomrú mečom; ich synovia a ich dcéry pomrú hladom.

²³and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

²³A nebudú mať ostatku, lebo uvediem zlé na mužov Anatóta, roku ich navštívenia.
