¹Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says Yahweh.

¹Beda pastierom, ktorí hubia a rozptyľujú stádo mojej pastvy! hovorí Hospodin.

²Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings, says Yahweh.

²Preto takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, o pastieroch, ktorí pasú môj ľud: Vy rozptyľujete moje stádo, zaháňate ich a nenavštevujete ich. Hľa, tedy ja navštívim nešľachetnosť vašich skutkov na vás, hovorí Hospodin.

³I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.

³A ja shromaždím ostatok svojho stáda zo všetkých zemí, kam som ich zahnal, a navrátim ich na ich pastvisko, a budú sa plodiť a množiť.

⁴I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, says Yahweh.

⁴A postavím nad nimi pastierov, a budú ich pásť. A nebudú sa viacej báť ani sa nebudú desiť ani nebudú niktorý chýbať, hovorí Hospodin.

⁵Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

⁵Hľa, idú dni, hovorí Hospodin, že vzbudím Dávidovi spravedlivý výrastok, a bude kraľovať ako kráľ a bude rozumne robiť a bude činiť súd a spravedlivosť na zemi.

⁶In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

⁶Za jeho dní bude spasený Júda, a Izrael bude bývať bezpečne. A toto bude jeho meno, ktorým ho budú nazývať: Hospodin naša spravedlivosť.

⁷Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they shall no more say, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

⁷Preto hľa, idú dni, hovorí Hospodin, že nepovedia už viacej: Ako že žije Hospodin, ktorý vyviedol synov Izraelových hore z Egyptskej zeme,

⁸but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own land.

⁸ale: Ako že žije Hospodin, ktorý vyviedol hore a ktorý doviedol semeno domu Izraelovho zo zeme na sever a zo všetkých zemí, kam som ich bol zahnal, a budú bývať na svojej pôde.

⁹Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.

⁹Prorokom: Moje srdce je skrúšené v mojom vnútri; chvejú sa všetky moje kosti; som ako opilý človek a jako muž, ktorého premohlo víno, pre Hospodina a pre slová jeho svätosti.

¹⁰For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;

¹⁰Lebo zem ja plná cudzoložníkov, lebo zem vädne pre kliatbu, uschly pastviská na púšti, a preto ja ich beh zlý, a ich sila je nepravá.

¹¹for both prophet and priest are profane; yes, in my house have I found their wickedness, says Yahweh.

¹¹Lebo jako prorok, tak i kňaz páchajú nešľachetnosť, ba ešte aj vo svojom dome som našiel ich zlosť, hovorí Hospodin.

¹²Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation, says Yahweh.

¹²Preto im bude ich cesta jako klzké miesta v mrákave; budú sotení a padnú na nej, lebo uvediem na nich zlé roku ich navštívenia, hovorí Hospodin.

¹³I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

¹³A pri prorokoch Samárie som videl veľký nerozum; prorokovali skrze Bála a zvodili môj ľud, Izraela, do bludu.

¹⁴In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none does return from his wickedness: they are all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.

¹⁴Ale pri prorokoch Jeruzalema som videl až hroznú vec, cudzoložia a chodia v lži a posilňujú ruky zlostníkov, aby sa neobrátili niktorý od svojej zlosti. Všetci sú mi jako Sodoma a jeho obyvatelia ako Gomora.

¹⁵Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.

¹⁵Preto takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov o tých prorokoch: Hľa, nakŕmim ich palinou a napojím ich jedovatou vodou, lebo od prorokov Jeruzalema vyšla nešľachetnosť na celú túto zem.

¹⁶Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.

¹⁶Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Nepočúvajte na slová prorokov, ktorí vám prorokujú; zvodia vás spoliehať sa na márnosť. Hovoria videnie svojho srdca, nie slovo z úst Hospodinových.

¹⁷They say continually to those who despise me, Yahweh has said, You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come on you.

¹⁷Neprestajne hovoria tým, ktorí mnou pohŕdajú, Hospodin vraj hovoril: Budete mať pokoj. A každému, kto chodí v umienenosti svojho srdca, hovoria: Neprijde na vás zlé.

¹⁸For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? who has marked my word, and heard it?

¹⁸Lebo kto stál v rade Hospodinovej, aby bol videl a počul jeho slovo? Kto pozoroval moje slovo ušima a počul ho?

¹⁹Behold, the storm of Yahweh, his wrath, has gone forth. Yes, a whirling storm. It shall burst on the head of the wicked.

¹⁹Hľa, víchrica Hospodinova, prchlivosť vyšla a víriaci víchor búrlivý, zvalí sa na hlavu bezbožníkov.

²⁰The anger of Yahweh shall not return, until he has executed, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.

²⁰Neobráti sa nazpät hnev Hospodinov, dokiaľ neučiní Hospodin a dokiaľ nevykoná úmyslov svojho srdca. V posledných dňoch porozumiete tomu docela.

²¹I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.

²¹Neposlal som tých prorokov, ale oni bežali; nehovoril som im, no, oni prorokovali.

²²But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

²²Ale keby boli stáli v mojej rade, boli by hlásali môjmu ľudu moje slová a boli by ich odvracali od ich zlej cesty a od nešľachetnosti ich skutkov.

²³Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off?

²³Či som ja Bohom len zblízka? hovorí Hospodin. A či nie som i Bohom z ďaleka?

²⁴Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don’t I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.

²⁴Či sa azda niekto skryje voľakde na skrytých miestach, aby som ho ja nevidel? hovorí Hospodin. Či azda ja nevyplňujem nebies i zeme? hovorí Hospodin.

²⁵I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

²⁵Počul som, čo hovoria tí proroci, ktorí prorokujú v mojom mene lož a hovoria: Snívalo sa mi, snívalo sa mi!

²⁶How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

²⁶Až dokedy to bude trvať? Či je to v srdci prorokov, ktorí prorokujú lož, a v srdci prorokov, ktorí prorokujú lesť svojho srdca?

²⁷who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.

²⁷Či myslia spôsobiť to, aby môj ľud zabudol na moje meno, svojimi snami, ktoré rozprávajú druh druhovi, tak ako zabudli ich otcovia na moje meno pre Bála?

²⁸The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says Yahweh.

²⁸Prorok, u ktorého je sen, nech rozpráva sen; ale ten, u ktorého je moje slovo, nech hovorí moje slovo, pravdu. Čo má pleva spoločného so zbožím? hovorí Hospodin.

²⁹Isn’t my word like fire? says Yahweh; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

²⁹Či nie je moje slovo jako oheň? hovorí Hospodin, a jako kladivo, ktoré rozráža skalu?

³⁰Therefore behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who steal my words everyone from his neighbor.

³⁰Preto hľa, prijdem na prorokov, hovorí Hospodin, ktorí kradnú moje slová druh od druha.

³¹Behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who use their tongues, and say, He says.

³¹Hľa, prijdem na prorokov, hovorí Hospodin, ktorí berú svoj jazyk a hovoria: Hovorí Hospodin.

³²Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yahweh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I didn’t send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, says Yahweh.

³²Hľa, prijdem na tých, ktorí prorokujú lživé sny, hovorí Hospodin, a rozprávajú ich a tak zvodia môj ľud do bludu svojimi lžami a svojím chvastúňstvom, a ja som ich neposlal ani som im neprikázal. Ale ani pomôcť nepomôžu tomuto ľudu, hovorí Hospodin.

³³When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Yahweh? Then you shall tell them, What burden! I will cast you off, says Yahweh.

³³A keby sa ťa pýtal tento ľud alebo prorok alebo kňaz a povedal by: Jaké je bremä Hospodinovo? povieš im: Áno, jaké bremä! Ale zavrhnem vás, hovorí Hospodin.

³⁴As for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say, The burden of Yahweh, I will even punish that man and his house.

³⁴A proroka a kňaza a ľud, ktorý hovorí: Bremä Hospodinovo, toho človeka navštívim i jeho dom.

³⁵You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, What has Yahweh answered? and, What has Yahweh spoken?

³⁵Takto budete hovoriť druh druhovi a brat bratovi: Čo odpovedal Hospodin? Alebo: Čo hovoril Hospodin?

³⁶You shall mention the burden of Yahweh no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies our God.

³⁶Ale bremena Hospodinovho nespomínajte viacej, lebo by bremenom bolo každému jeho vlastné slovo, a prevrátili by ste slová živého Boha, Hospodina Zástupov, nášho Boha.

³⁷You shall say to the prophet, What has Yahweh answered you? and, What has Yahweh spoken?

³⁷Takto povieš prorokovi: Čo ti odpovedal Hospodin? Alebo: Čo hovoril Hospodin?

³⁸But if you say, The burden of Yahweh; therefore thus says Yahweh: Because you say this word, The burden of Yahweh, and I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of Yahweh;

³⁸Ale ak poviete: Bremä Hospodinovo, vtedy takto hovorí Hospodin: Pretože hovoríte to slovo, bremä Hospodinovo, hoci som poslal k vám a povedal: Nehovorte: Bremä Hospodinovo!

³⁹therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence:

³⁹preto hľa, zabudnem na vás docela a zavrhnem vás i mesto, ktoré som bol dal vám i vašim otcom, zpred svojej tvári.

⁴⁰and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

⁴⁰A položím na vás večnú potupu a večnú hanbu, ktorá nebude zabudnutá.
