1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
1A kraľoval kráľ Cedekiáš, syn Joziášov, miesto Koniáša, syna Jehojakimovho, ktorého ustanovil Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, za kráľa, v zemi Júdovej.
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
2Ale nepočúval ani on ani jeho služobníci ani ľud zeme na slová Hospodinove, ktoré hovoril skrze proroka Jeremiáša.
3Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.
3A kráľ Cedekiáš bol poslal Jehúchala, syna Šelemiášovho, a Cefaniáša, syna Maaseiášovho, kňaza, k prorokovi Jeremiášovi, aby povedali: Nože sa modli za nás Hospodinovi, nášmu Bohu.
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
4Jeremiáš vtedy ešte chodil slobodne medzi ľudom, a neboli ho ešte dali do žalára.
5Pharaoh’s army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
5A vojsko faraonovo bolo vyšlo z Egypta. A keď počuli Chaldeji, ktorí obliehali Jeruzalem, o nich zvesť, odtiahli hore od Jeruzalema.
6Then came the word of Yahweh to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
6A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k prorokovi Jeremiášovi povediac:
7Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
7Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Takto poviete judskému kráľovi, ktorý vás poslal ku mne opýtať sa ma: Hľa, vojsko faraonovo, ktoré vám vyšlo na pomoc, navráti sa do svojej zeme, do Egypta.
8The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
8A navrátia sa Chaldeji a budú bojovať proti tomuto mestu a vezmú ho a spália ho ohňom.
9Thus says Yahweh, Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
9Takto hovorí Hospodin: Neklamte svojich duší hovoriac: Istotne odídu od nás Chaldeji. Lebo neodídu.
10For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
10Lebo keby ste aj pobili všetko vojsko Chaldejov, ktorí bojujú proti vám, a zostali by z nich iba ranení muži, prebodnutí, tí by povstali každý vo svojom stáne a spálili by toto mesto ohňom.
11It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
11A stalo sa, keď odtiahlo vojsko Chaldejov hore od Jeruzalema pre vojsko faraonovo,
12then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
12že išiel Jeremiáš von z Jeruzalema, aby odišiel do zeme Benjaminovej a vzal odtiaľ svoj podiel medzi ľudom.
13When he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are falling away to the Chaldeans.
13Ale keď už bol v bráne Benjaminovej, kde bol veliteľ stráže, menom Jiriáš, syn Šelemiáša, syna Chananiášovho, ten chopil proroka Jeremiáša a povedal: Odchádzaš zradne k Chaldejom.
14Then Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
14Na to povedal Jeremiáš: Nie je pravda; neodchádzam zradne k Chaldejom. No, nepočúval na neho, ale Jiriáš chopil Jeremiáša a doviedol ho ku kniežatám.
15The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
15Vtedy sa rozhnevaly kniežatá na Jeremiáša a zbily ho a daly ho do väzenia, do domu Jonatána, pisára, lebo z neho boli spravili žalár.
16When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
16Keď takto prišiel Jeremiáš do domu jamy a do sklepených miestností, býval tam, Jeremiáš, za mnoho dní.
17Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
17Potom poslal kráľ Cedekiáš a vzal ho. A kráľ sa ho vypytoval tajne vo svojom dome a riekol: Či je nejaké slovo od Hospodina? A Jeremiáš odpovedal: Je. A ďalej povedal: Budeš vydaný do ruky babylonského kráľa.
18Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
18A ešte povedal Jeremiáš kráľovi Cedekiášovi: Čo som zhrešil proti tebe a proti tvojim služobníkom alebo proti tomuto ľudu, že ste ma dali do žalára?
19Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
19A kde sú vaši proroci, ktorí vám prorokujú, že vraj neprijde babylonský kráľ na vás ani na túto zem?
20Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
20A tak teraz počuj, prosím, môj pán kráľ, nech padne, prosím, moja pokorná prosba pred teba, a nedaj ma odviesť zase do domu Jonatána, pisára, aby som tam nezomrel.
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
21A kráľ Cedekiáš rozkázal, aby dali Jeremiáša pod dozor do dvora väzenia a dávali mu bochník chleba na deň z ulice pekárov, dokiaľ by sa neminul všetok chlieb v meste. A tak sedel Jeremiáš vo dvore stráže.
