¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

¹Slovo, ktoré sa stalo od Hospodina k Jeremiášovi v desiatom roku Cedekiáša, judského kráľa, ktorý to rok je osemnásty rok Nabuchodonozorov.

²Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

²A vtedy obliehalo vojsko babylonského kráľa Jeruzalem, a prorok Jeremiáš bol zatvorený vo dvore väzenia, ktoré bolo v dome judského kráľa,

³For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

³ktorého bol zatvoril Cedekiáš, judský kráľ, povediac: Prečo ty prorokuješ a hovoríš: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, vydám toto mesto do ruky babylonského kráľa, a vezme ho,

⁴and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;

⁴a Cedekiáš, judský kráľ, neujde ruke Chaldejov, ale istotne bude vydaný do ruky babylonského kráľa, a jeho ústa budú hovoriť s jeho ústami, a vraj, jeho oči budú vidieť jeho oči,

⁵and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?

⁵zavedie Cedekiáša do Babylona, a tam bude, dokiaľ ho nenavštívim, hovorí Hospodin. Pretože bojujete s Chaldejmi, nepovodí sa vám dobre.-

⁶Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁶A Jeremiáš riekol: Slovo Hospodinovo stalo sa ku mne povediac:

⁷Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.

⁷Hľa, Chanamel, syn Šallúma, tvojho strýca, ide k tebe a povie: Kúp si moje pole, ktoré je v Anatóte, lebo ty máš výkupné právo rodinné kúpiť ho.

⁸So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.

⁸A tedy prišiel ku mne Chanamel, syn môjho strýca, podľa slova Hospodinovho, do dvora väzenia a povedal mi: Nože si kúp moje pole, ktoré je v Anatóte, ktorý je v zemi Benjaminovej, lebo ty máš dedičné právo, a ty máš výkupné právo rodinné, kúp si! Vtedy som poznal, že je to slovo Hospodinovo.

⁹I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

⁹A tak som kúpil pole od Chanamela, syna svojho strýca, ktoré je v Anatóte, a odvážil som mu peniaze, sedemnásť šeklov striebra.

¹⁰I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

¹⁰A napísal som to na listinu a zapečatil som a dal som osvedčiť svedkom, a tak som odvážil peniaze na váhe.

¹¹So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;

¹¹Potom som vzal kúpnu listinu, zapečatenú podľa nariadenia a ustanovení zákona, i tú otvorenú.

¹²and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

¹²A oddal som kúpnu listinu Báruchovi, synovi Neriáša, syna Machseiášovho, pred očima Chanamela, svojho strýca, a pred očami svedkov, ktorí sa podpísali na kúpnej listine, pred očami všetkých Židov, ktorí sedeli vo dvore väzenia.

¹³I commanded Baruch before them, saying,

¹³A prikázal som Báruchovi pred ich očami povediac:

¹⁴Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.

¹⁴Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Vezmi tieto listiny, túto kúpnu listinu, i tú zapečatenú i túto otvorenú listinu, a dáš ich do hlinenej nádoby, aby stály mnoho dní.

¹⁵For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.

¹⁵Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Ešte sa budú kupovať domy i polia i vinice v tejto zemi. -

¹⁶Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,

¹⁶A potom, keď som oddal kúpnu listinu Báruchovi, synovi Neriášovmu, modlil som sa Hospodinovi a vravel som:

¹⁷Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,

¹⁷Ach, Pane, Hospodine, hľa, ty si učinil nebesia i zem svojou veľkou mocou a svojím vystretým ramenom, tebe nie je nemožnou niktorá vec.

¹⁸who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is his name;

¹⁸Činíš tisícim milosť a odplácaš neprávosť otcov do lona ich synov po nich, ty silný Bože, veľký a mocný, ktorého meno je Hospodin Zástupov,

¹⁹great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

¹⁹veľký čo do rady a mohutný čo do skutku, ktorého oči sú otvorené a hľadia na všetky cesty synov človeka, aby si dal každému podľa jeho ciest a podľa ovocia jeho skutkov,

²⁰who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as in this day;

²⁰ty, ktorý si činil znamenia a zázraky v Egyptskej zemi a činíš až do tohoto dňa jako v Izraelovi, tak i vôbec medzi ľuďmi a učinil si si meno, jako je tomu dnes.

²¹and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

²¹A vyviedol si svoj ľud, Izraela, z Egyptskej zeme so znameniami a so zázraky, a to silnou rukou a vystretým ramenom a s veľkým strachom.

²²and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

²²A dal si im túto zem, o ktorej si prisahal ich otcom, že im ju dáš, zem, ktorá tečie mliekom a medom.

²³and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.

²³A tak vošli a zaujali ju dedične; ale nepočúvali na tvoj hlas ani nechodili v tvojom zákone; nečinili ničoho z toho, čo si im prikázal činiť, preto si spôsobil to, aby prišlo na nich všetko toto zlé.

²⁴Behold, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and behold, you see it.

²⁴Hľa, nasypané valy, prišli na mesto, aby ho vzali, a mesto bude dané do ruky Chaldejov, ktorí bojujú proti nemu, pre meč a hlad a mor, a to, čo si hovoril, deje sa, a hľa, ty vidíš!

²⁵You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁵A ty si mi povedal, Pane, Hospodine: Kúp si pole za peniaze a daj osvedčiť svedkami, a mesto hľa, bude dané do ruky Chaldejov!

²⁶Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁶A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi povediac:

²⁷Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

²⁷Hľa, ja som Hospodin, Bôh každého tela; či je mne azda nemožnou niektorá vec?

²⁸Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

²⁸Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, vydám toto mesto do ruky Chaldejov a do ruky Nabuchodonozora, babylonského kráľa, a vezme ho.

²⁹and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

²⁹A prijdú Chaldeji, ktorí bojujú proti tomuto mestu, a podpália toto mesto ohňom a spália ho i domy, na ktorých postrešiach kadili Bálovi a vylievali liate obeti iným bohom nato, aby ma popudzovali k hnevu.

³⁰For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.

³⁰Lebo synovia Izraelovi a synovia Júdovi nerobili ničoho iného iba to, čo je zlé v mojich očiach, od svojej mladosti; lebo, hovorím, synovia Izraelovi iba čo ma popudzujú k hnevu dielom svojich rúk, hovorí Hospodin.

³¹For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

³¹Lebo len na môj hnev a na moju prchlivosť mi bolo toto mesto hneď od toho dňa, ako ho vystavili, až do tohoto dňa, aby som ho odpratal od svojej tvári

³²because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

³²pre všetku tú nešľachetnosť synov Izraelových a synov Júdových, ktorú páchali nato, aby ma popudzovali k hnevu, oni, ich kráľovia, ich kniežatá, ich kňazi a ich proroci, tak aj mužovia Júdovi a obyvatelia Jeruzalema.

³³They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

³³A obrátili sa mi chrbtom a nie tvárou, a čo ich učím to ich učím vstávajúc skoro za rána, a oni len neposlúchajú, aby prijali kázeň.

³⁴But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

³⁴A nastaväli svojich hnusôb v dome, nad ktorým bolo menované moje meno, aby ho zanečistili.

³⁵They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I didn’t command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

³⁵A nastaväli výšin Bálových, ktoré sú v údolí Ben-hinnoma, aby vodili svojich synov a svoje dcéry Molochovi cez oheň, čoho som im neprikázal, a čo ani len nevstúpilo na moje srdce, páchať túto ohavnosť, aby spôsobili to, že by hrešil Júda.

³⁶Now therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

³⁶Preto teraz takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, o tomto meste, o ktorom vy hovoríte: Bude dané do ruky babylonského kráľa mečom, hladom a morom:

³⁷Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

³⁷Hľa, shromaždím ich zo všetkých zemí, do ktorých som ich zahnal vo svojom hneve a vo svojej prchlivosti a vo veľkom vzteku, a navrátim ich na toto miesto a spôsobím to, aby bývali bezpečne.

³⁸and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁸A budú mi ľudom a ja im budem Bohom.

³⁹and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them:

³⁹A dám im jedno srdce a jednu cestu, aby sa ma báli po všetky dni na dobré im a ich synom po nich.

⁴⁰and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

⁴⁰A učiním s nimi večnú smluvu, že sa neodvrátim od nich zpät, aby som im nečinil dobrého, a dám svoju bázeň do ich srdca, aby neodstúpili odo mňa.

⁴¹Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

⁴¹A budem sa radovať nad nimi činiac im dobré a zasadím ich v tejto zemi vpravde, celým svojím srdcom a celou svojou dušou.

⁴²For thus says Yahweh: Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.

⁴²Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin: Ako som uviedol na tento ľud všetko toto veliké zlé, tak uvediem na nich všetko to dobré, o ktorom hovorím vzhľadom na nich.

⁴³Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

⁴³A bude sa kupovať pole v tejto zemi, o ktorej vy hovoríte: Pustá je tak, že neni v nej človeka ani hoväda; daná je do ruky Chaldejov.

⁴⁴Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yahweh.

⁴⁴Polia budú kupovať za peniaze a písať na listiny a pečatiť a osvedčovať svedkami v zemi Benjaminovej a na miestach okolo Jeruzalema, v mestách Júdových, v mestách pohoria, v mestách nížiny jako aj v mestách na juhu, lebo dovediem zpät ich zajatých, hovorí Hospodin.
