¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²“Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

²Iď a budeš volať v uši Jeruzalema a povieš: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Rozpomínam sa ti na milotu tvojej mladosti, na lásku tvojho stavu, keď si bola nevestou, na tvoje chodenie za mnou na púšti, v zemi, nie osievanej.

³Israel was holiness to Yahweh, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come on them,”’ says Yahweh.”

³Vtedy bol Izrael svätým Hospodinovi, prvotinou jeho úrody. Všetci, ktorí ho zožierali, previnili sa; zlé prišlo na nich, hovorí Hospodin.

⁴Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel!

⁴Počujte slovo Hospodinovo, dome Jakobov a všetky čeľade domu Izraelovho!

⁵Thus says Yahweh, “What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

⁵Takto hovorí Hospodin: Akú neprávosť našli na mne vaši otcovia, že sa vzdialili odo mňa a išli za márnosťou a stali sa márnymi?

⁶Neither did they say, ‘Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived?’

⁶A nepovedali: Kde je Hospodin, ktorý nás vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme, ktorý nás viedol po púšti, po pustej zemi a plnej jam, po vypráhlej zemi tône smrti, po zemi, ktorou nikto nechodí, a kde nebýva človek?

⁷I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.

⁷A doviedol som vás do zeme úrodných polí, aby ste jedli jej ovocie a užívali aj iné jej dobré veci. A keď ste vošli, poškvrnili ste moju zem a zohavili ste moje dedičstvo.

⁸The priests didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’ and those who handle the law didn’t know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

⁸Kňazi nepovedali: Kde je Hospodin? A tí, ktorí berú do ruky zákon, ma nepoznali, pastieri zradne odstúpili odo mňa, a proroci prorokovali skrze Bála a odišli za vecami, ktoré neprospejú.

⁹“Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says Yahweh, “and I will contend with your children’s children.

⁹Preto sa ešte budem pravotiť s vami, hovorí Hospodin, i so synmi vašich synov sa budem pravotiť.

¹⁰For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.

¹⁰Lebo len prejdite ostrovy Kittejov a vidzte a pošlite do Kédara a pozorujte bedlivo a vidzte, či sa tam stalo voľačo také jako toto!

¹¹Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.

¹¹Či zamenil voľaktorý národ svojich bohov? A to ani nie sú bohovia! Ale môj ľud zamenil svoju slávu za to, čo neprospeje!

¹²“Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate,” says Yahweh.

¹²Užasnite nebesia nad tým, zhrozte sa, zdúpnejte veľmi! hovorí Hospodin.

¹³“For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

¹³Lebo môj ľud spáchal dvoje zlo: Opustil mňa, prameň živej vody, aby si vyrúbali cisterny, deravé cisterny dopukané, ktoré nedržia vody!

¹⁴Is Israel a servant? Is he a native-born slave? Why has he become a prey?

¹⁴Či je Izrael sluhom, či je doma splodeným rabom? Prečo je potom v plen?

¹⁵The young lions have roared at him, and yelled. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

¹⁵Ľvíčatá revú na neho, vydávajú svoj hlas a obracajú jeho zem v pustinu; jeho mestá sú vypálené, takže neni obyvateľa.

¹⁶The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.

¹⁶I synovia Nofa a Tachpanchesa ti pasú po temene hlavy.

¹⁷“Haven’t you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , when he led you by the way?

¹⁷Či ti toho nespôsobilo to, že si, ó, dcéro Jeruzalema, opustila Hospodina, svojeho Boha, toho času, keď ťa vodil po svojej ceste?

¹⁸Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

¹⁸A tak teraz čo tebe do cesty do Egypta, aby si pila vody z Níla? A čo tebe do cesty do Assýrie, aby si pila vody z Rieky?

¹⁹“Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁹Bude ťa trestať tvoja vlastná zlosť, a tvoje odvrátenia ťa budú karhať. A tedy poznaj a vidz, že je to zlá vec a horká, že si opustila Hospodina, svojho Boha, a že nie je pri tebe mojej bázne, hovorí Pán Hospodin Zástupov.

²⁰“For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, ‘I will not serve;’ for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.

²⁰Lebo od veku si lámala svoje jarmo a trhala si svoje povrazy a vravela si: Nebudem slúžiť. Ale na každom vysokom pahore a pod každým zeleným stromom si sa zohýnala, smilnica.

²¹Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

²¹A ja som ťa bol vysadil ako výbornú révu, všetko vonkoncom semeno pravdy. Ale jako si sa mi prevrátila na plané révy cudzieho viniča!

²²For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me,” says the Lord Yahweh.

²²Lebo keby si sa umyla hoci lúhom a keby si aj spotrebovala na seba mnoho mydla, jednako bude zrejmá tvoja neprávosť pred mojou tvárou, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

²³“How can you say, ‘I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals’? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

²³Ako smieš povedať: Nepoškvrnila som sa, za Bálmi som nechodila? Pozri na svoju cestu v údolí! Poznaj, čo si učinila, ty ľahká veľblúdica rýchla, ktorá prepletá svoje cesty!

²⁴a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind in her desire. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.

²⁴Divoká oslica, zvyklá na púšť, ktorá v žiadosti svojej duše lapá a hltá vzduch; keď sa behá, kto ju zavráti? Niktorí z tých, ktorí ju hľadajú, sa neunavia, v jej mesiaci ju najdú.

²⁵“Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst. But you said, ‘It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go after them.’

²⁵Ak povie niekto: Zdržuj svoju nohu od bosoty a svoje hrdlo od smädu! povieš: Márne je, nebudem! Lebo milujem cudzích a pojdem za nimi.

²⁶As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;

²⁶Jako sa hanbí zlodej, keď ho pristihnú, tak sa budú hanbiť, dom Izraelov, oni, ich kráľovia, ich kniežatá a ich kňazi aj ich proroci,

²⁷who tell wood, ‘You are my father;’ and a stone, ‘You have brought me out:’ for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, ‘Arise, and save us.’

²⁷ktorí hovoria drevu: Ty si môj otec, a kameňu: Ty si ma splodil. - Lebo sa obrátili ku mne chrbtom a nie tvárou. Ale keď im je zle, hovoria: Nože vstaň a zachráň nás!

²⁸“But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah.

²⁸A kdeže sú tvoji bohovia, ktorých si si narobil? Nech tedy vstanú, ak ťa zachránia, keď prišlo na teba zlé! Lebo koľko je tvojich miest, toľko je tvojich bohov, ó, Júda!

²⁹“Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me,” says Yahweh.

²⁹Prečo sa pravotíte so mnou? Vy všetci ste zradne odstúpili odo mňa, hovorí Hospodin.

³⁰“I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

³⁰Nadarmo som bil vašich synov, neprijali kázne. Váš meč požral vašich prorokov ako zhubný lev.

³¹Generation, consider the word of Yahweh. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose. We will come to you no more?’

³¹Ó, pokolenie! Vidzteže vy slovo Hospodinovo! Či som bol púšťou Izraelovi! Či azda zemou hustej tmy? Prečo potom hovorí môj ľud: Voľní beháme, slobodní, neprijdeme viacej k tebe!?

³²“Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.

³²Či zabudne panna svoju ozdobu? Nevesta svoj zdobný opasok? A môj ľud zabudol na mňa, už tak mnohé dni, že im neni počtu!

³³How well you prepare your way to seek love! Therefore you have taught even the wicked women your ways.

³³Jako si len dobre upravila svoju cestu hľadajúc lásku! Preto učíš ešte aj tie najnešľachetnejšie svojim cestám.

³⁴Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.

³⁴K tomu i na krýdlach tvojho rúcha sa nachodí krv duší chudobných a nevinných. Nepristihla si ich pri vlamačstve, ale si to spáchala nad všetko to.

³⁵“Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

³⁵A ešte hovoríš, že vraj som nevinná; istotne sa odvráti odo mňa jeho hnev. - Hľa, súdiť sa budem s tebou preto, že hovoríš: Nehrešila som.

³⁶Why do you go about so much to change your way? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.

³⁶Načo tak veľmi beháš meniac svoju cestu? Budeš sa hanbiť aj pre Egypt, ako sa hanbíš pre Assýriu.

³⁷From there also you shall go forth, with your hands on your head; for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.

³⁷Vyjdeš aj odtiaľ, a to zalamujúc svoje ruky nad svojou hlavou. Lebo Hospodin zavrhol tie tvoje nádeje, a nepodarí sa ti s nimi.
