¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

¹Slovo, ktoré sa stalo k Jeremiášovi od Hospodina povediac:

²“Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.

²Postav sa v bráne domu Hospodinovho a budeš tam volať toto slovo a povieš: Počujte slovo Hospodinovo, celý Júda, všetci, ktorí vchádzate týmito bránami klaňať sa Hospodinovi!

³Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

³Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Čiňte tak aby, vaše cesty a vaše skutky boly dobré, a učiním to, aby ste bývali na tomto mieste.

⁴Don’t trust in lying words, saying, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, are these.

⁴Nenadejte sa na lživé slová, že vraj chrám Hospodinov, chrám Hospodinov, chrám Hospodinov je to.

⁵For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

⁵Lebo ak naozaj budete činiť tak, aby vaše cesty a vaše skutky boly dobré, ak naozaj budete konať súd medzi mužom a medzi jeho blížnym,

⁶if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:

⁶ak neutisknete pohostína, siroty a vdovy a nijakým činom nevylejete nevinnej krvi na tomto mieste a za inými bohy nepojdete sebe na zlé,

⁷then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.

⁷vtedy spôsobím to, že budete bývať na tomto mieste, v zemi, ktorú som dal vašim otcom od veku až na veky.

⁸Behold, you trust in lying words, that can’t profit.

⁸Hľa, vy sa nadejete na lživé slová, bez toho, že by prospely.

⁹Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,

⁹Či azda budete kradnúť, zabíjať, cudzoložiť, prisahať falošne, kadiť Bálovi a chodiť za inými bohmi, ktorých neznáte,

¹⁰and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that you may do all these abominations?

¹⁰a potom prijdete a postavíte sa pred mojou tvárou v tomto dome, nad ktorým je menované moje meno, a poviete: Sme vytrhnutí; aby ste mohli páchať všetky tie ohavnosti?

¹¹Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says Yahweh.

¹¹Či je tento dom, nad ktorým je menované moje meno, pelešou lotrov vo vašich očiach? Hľa, vidím i ja, hovorí Hospodin.

¹²But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

¹²Lebo nože iďte na moje miesto, ktoré je v Šíle, kde som bol dal tam na počiatku bývať svojmu menu, a vidzte, čo som mu učinil pre zlosť svojeho ľudu Izraela!

¹³Now, because you have done all these works, says Yahweh, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer:

¹³A tak teraz pretože páchate všetky tie skutky, hovorí Hospodin, a pretože som vám hovoril vstávajúc skoro za rána a hovoriac znova a znova, a nepočuli ste, a keď som vás volal, neozvali ste sa,

¹⁴therefore will I do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

¹⁴preto učiním domu, nad ktorým je menované moje meno, na ktorý sa vy nadejete, a miestu, ktoré som vám dal i vašim otcom, ako som učinil Šílu.

¹⁵I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

¹⁵A odvrhnem vás preč od svojej tvári jako som odvrhol všetkých vašich bratov, všetko semeno Efraimovo.

¹⁶Therefore don’t pray for this people, neither lift up a cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.

¹⁶A ty sa nemodli za tento ľud ani nepozdvihuj za nich prosebného kriku a modlitby ani nedobíjaj do mňa, lebo ťa nevyslyším.

¹⁷Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁷Či nevidíš, čo robia v mestách Júdových a po uliciach Jeruzalema?

¹⁸The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

¹⁸Synovia sberajú drevo, a otcovia zapaľujú oheň, a ženy miesia cesto, aby narobily kráľovnej nebies obetných koláčov a aby obetovali iným bohom liate obeti, nato, aby ma popudzovali.

¹⁹Do they provoke me to anger? says Yahweh. Don’t they provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?

¹⁹Či to azda mňa popudzujú? hovorí Hospodin, Či azda nie sami seba, aby hanba pokryla ich tvár?

²⁰Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

²⁰Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, môj hnev a moja prchlivosť sa vyleje na toto miesto, na človeka i na hovädo i na poľný strom i na plod zeme a bude horieť a nezhasne.

²¹Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat meat.

²¹Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Soberte svoje zápalné obeti so svojimi bitnými obeťami a jedzte mäso!

²²For I didn’t speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

²²Lebo veď som nehovoril s vašimi otcami ani som im neprikázal v deň, v ktorý som ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme, o nijakej zápalnej alebo bitnej obeti.

²³but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.

²³Ale iba toto som im prikázal a povedal som: Počúvajte na môj hlas, a budem vám Bohom, a vy mi budete ľudom, a budete chodiť po každej ceste, ktorú vám prikážem, aby vám bolo dobre.

²⁴But they didn’t listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

²⁴Ale neposlúchli ani nenaklonili svojho ucha, lež chodili podľa uradení, podľa zaťatej umienenosti svojho zlého srdca, a ich kroky boly nazad a nie napred,

²⁵Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

²⁵a to tak od toho dňa, ktorého vyšli vaši otcovia z Egyptskej zeme, až do tohoto dňa, a posielal som k vám všetkých svojich služobníkov prorokov deň ako deň skoro za rána a posielajúc znova a znova.

²⁶yet they didn’t listen to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers.

²⁶Ale ma nepočúvali ani nenaklonili svojho ucha, ale zatvrdili svoju šiju, robili horšie ako ich otcovia.

²⁷You shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.

²⁷A tak im budeš hovoriť všetky tieto slová, ale ťa nebudú počúvať, a keď budeš volať na nich, neozvú sa ti.

²⁸You shall tell them, This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of Yahweh their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

²⁸A povieš im: Toto je ten národ, ktorý nepočúva na hlas Hospodina, svojho Boha, ani neprijíma kázne. Pravda zahynula, a je vyťatá z ich úst.

²⁹Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

²⁹Ostrihaj, dcéro Jeruzalema, ozdobu svojej hlavy a odhoď a pozdvihni trúchlospev na vysokých miestach holých, lebo Hospodin zavrhol a opustil pokolenie svojej prchlivosti.

³⁰For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, says Yahweh: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

³⁰Pretože synovia Júdovi robili to, čo je zlé v mojich očiach, hovorí Hospodin: nastaväli svojich hnusôb v dome, nad ktorým je menované moje meno, aby ho poškvrnili.

³¹They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.

³¹A nastaväli výšin Tofeta, ktorý je v údolí Ben-hinnoma, aby pálili svojich synov a svoje dcéry ohňom, čoho som neprikázal, a čo ani len nevstúpilo na moje srdce.

³²Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.

³²Preto hľa, idú dni, hovorí Hospodin, že sa už viacej nepovie, že vraj Tofet alebo údolie Ben-hinnoma, ale údolie vraždenia, a budú pochovávať v Tofete, pretože nebude inde dosť miesta.

³³The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.

³³A tak bude mŕtve telo tohoto ľudu za pokrm nebeskému vtáctvu a zemským šelmám, a nebude nikoho, kto by zaplašil.

³⁴Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.

³⁴A spôsobím to, že prestane z miest Júdových a z ulíc Jeruzalema hlas veselosti a hlas radosti, hlas ženícha a hlas nevesty, lebo zem bude pustinou.
