1“Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
1Ratujte a utekajte, synovia Benjaminovi, zprostred Jeruzalema! V Tekoe trúbte na trúbu a proti Bétkéremu vypustite znamenie dymu! Lebo zlé vyzerá od severa a veľké skrúšenie.
2The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
2Zahľadím krásnu a rozkošnú rozmaznanú dcéru Siona.
3Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place.”
3Prijdú k nej pastieri i so svojimi stádami; postavia proti nej stány dookola, každý z nich spasie svoju stranu.
4“Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
4Posväťte vojnu proti nej! Vstaňte a poďme hore na poludnie! Beda nám, lebo uchodí deň, lebo sa už tiahnu tiene večera!
5Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.”
5Vstaňte, a poďme hore vnoci a zkazme jej paláce!
6For Yahweh of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
6Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Zotínajte stromy a nasypte násyp proti Jeruzalemu! To je to mesto, ktoré má byť navštívené. Koľko ho len je, všade samý útisk v ňom.
7As a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
7Ako studňa prýšti svoju vodu, tak ono prýšti svoju zlosť. Ukrutnosť a zkazu počuť v ňom, pred mojou tvárou neprestajne nemoc a rana úderu.
8Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited.”
8Dajže sa karhať, Jeruzaleme, aby sa neodlúčila moja duša od teba, aby som ťa neobrátil na pustinu, na neobývanú zem.
9Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.”
9Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Paberkovať a dôkladne budú paberkovať ostatok Izraela jako vinič. Vráť svoju ruku jako oberač na révy!
10To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, the word of Yahweh has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
10Komu mám hovoriť a komu osvedčovať, aby počuli? Hľa, ich ucho je neobrezané, a tak nemôžu pozorovať ušami. Hľa, slovo Hospodinovo im je na potupu; nemajú v ňom záľuby.
11Therefore I am full of the wrath of Yahweh. I am weary with holding in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
11A preto som plný prchlivosti Hospodinovej, ustal som držať ju v sebe. Vylej na decko vonku a na schôdzu mládencov spolu. Lebo i muž so ženou budú jatí, starec s kmeťom, ktorý je plný dňov.
12Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.”
12A ich domy sa dostanú iným, polia i ženy spolu, pretože vystriem svoju ruku na obyvateľov tejto zeme, hovorí Hospodin.
13“For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
13Lebo každý, od najmenšieho až do najväčšieho z nich, všetci, koľko ich je, sa oddali lakomstvu, a to od proroka až po kňaza, každý z nich robí falošne.
14They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
14A liečia skrúšenie môjho ľudu na ľahko hovoriac: Pokoj, pokoj, kým nieto pokoja.
15Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them, they shall be cast down,” says Yahweh.
15A či sa azda hanbia, že spáchali ohavnosť? Ani hanbiť sa nehanbia ani neznajú studu. Preto aj padnú medzi padajúcimi v čase, v ktorom ich navštívim, klesnú, hovorí Hospodin.
16Thus says Yahweh, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
16Takto hovorí Hospodin: Postojte na cestách a vidzte a pýtajte sa po chodníkoch veku, ktorá je tá dobrá cesta, a iďte po nej a tak najdite pokoj svojej duši! Ale oni povedali: Nepojdeme!
17I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
17A postavil som nad vami pozorujúcich strážnych povediac: Pozorujte na zvuk trúby, a oni riekli: Nebudeme pozorovať!
18Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
18Preto počujte, národy, a poznaj, shromaždenie, čo sa chystá proti nim!
19Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
19Počuj, ó, zem: Hľa, ja uvediem zlé na tento ľud, ovocie ich myšlienok; pretože nepozorovali na moje slová svojimi ušami a čo do môjho zákona, ten zavrhli.
20To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.”
20Načože mi je toď kadivo, ktoré prichádza zo Šeby alebo výborná trstina voňavá z ďalekej zeme? Vaše zápalné obeti nie sú na záľubu, a vaše bitné obeti nie sú mi príjemné.
21Therefore thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.”
21Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, dám pred tento ľud závady, o ktoré zavadia a klesnú, otcovia i synovia spolu, súsed i jeho blížny, a zahynú.
22Thus says Yahweh, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
22Takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, ľud prijde zo zeme severa, a veľký národ zobudiac sa povstane od najďaľších končín zeme.
23They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.”
23Pochytí lučište a piku; ukrutný bude. A nezľutujú sa; ich hlas bude hučať ako more, a budú jazdiť na koňoch. Pripravený jako muž do boja, na teba, dcéro Siona!
24We have heard its report; our hands become feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
24Keď počujeme zvesť o ňom, klesnú naše ruky bezvládne, úzkosť nás pochytí, bolesť ako ženu, ktorá ide porodiť.
25Don’t go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror, are on every side.
25Oj, nevyjdi na pole a nechoď na cestu, lebo tam meč nepriateľa, strach všade naokolo!
26Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us.
26Dcéro môjho ľudu, prepáš si smútočné vrece a váľaj sa v popole! Sprav si smútok ako nad jednorodeným, nárek, prehorký! Lebo prijde náhle na nás zhubca.
27“I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way.
27Dal so ťa za zkúšajúceho kovy vo svojom ľude, za hradbu, aby si poznal a zkúsil ich cestu.
28They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
28Všetci, koľko ich je, sú odpadlíci odpadlíkov, sem a ta chodiaci pomluvači, sú jako meď a železo; všetci, koľko ich je, sú zhubcami.
29The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
29Mechy práhnu, olovo mizne od ohňa, zlatník nadarmo prepaľuje a prepaľuje; zlí nie sú vyprataní.
30Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”
30Nazovú ich zavrhnutým striebrom, lebo ich Hospodin zavrhol.
