< Jeremiah 16 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
I stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:
2 “Do not get married and have children in this land,
Nepojímej sobě ženy, aniž měj synů neb dcer na místě tomto.
3 because this is what [I], Yahweh, say about the children who are born in this city, and about their mothers and fathers:
Nebo takto praví Hospodin o synech i dcerách zplozených v místě tomto, a o matkách jejich, kteréž zrodily je, i o jejich otcích, kteříž zplodili je v zemi této:
4 [Many of] them will die from terrible diseases. And no one will mourn for them. No one will even bury their corpses; the corpses will lie on the ground, [scattered] like manure. [Others] will die in wars or from hunger, and [then] their corpses will become food for vultures and wild animals.”
Smrtmi přebolestnými pomrou, nebudou oplakáni, ani pochováni; místo hnoje na svrchku země budou, a mečem i hladem do konce zhubeni budou. I budou mrtvá těla jejich za pokrm ptactvu nebeskému a šelmám zemským.
5 This is [also] what Yahweh said to me: “Do not go to funerals to mourn or to show [those whose relatives have died] that you feel sorry for them, because I have stopped protecting them, and I have caused that things will not go well for them. I have stopped faithfully loving them and acting mercifully toward them.
Nebo takto praví Hospodin: Nevcházej do domu smutku, aniž choď kvíliti, aniž jich lituj; odjal jsem zajisté pokoj svůj od lidu tohoto, dobrotivost i slitování, dí Hospodin.
6 [Very many people] will die in this land, [including] those who are important and those who are not important. And no one will mourn for them, or [even] bury [their corpses]. No one will cut himself or shave his head [to show that he is very sad].
Když pomrou velicí i malí v zemi této, nebudou pochováni, aniž kvíliti budou nad nimi, aniž se zřeží, aniž sobě lysiny zdělají pro ně.
7 No one will bring food to comfort those who are mourning, not even if it is their father or their mother [who has died]. No one will give them a cup [of wine] to cheer them up.
Aniž jim dadí jísti, aby v truchlosti potěšovali jich nad mrtvým, aniž jich napojí z číše potěšení po otci jejich neb matce jejich.
8 And do not go into the houses where people are feasting. Do not eat or drink anything with them.
Tolikéž do domu hodování nechoď, abys sedati měl s nimi při jídle a pití.
9 [I want you to do this] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say: ‘While you are still alive and seeing it happen, I will cause there to be no more singing and laughing in this land. There will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides.’
Nebo takto praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský: Aj, já způsobím, aby nebývalo na místě tomto před očima vašima a za dnů vašich hlasu radosti, ani hlasu veselé, hlasu ženicha, ani hlasu nevěsty.
10 When you tell these things to the people, they will ask, ‘Why has Yahweh declared that these terrible things will happen to us? What have we done [for which we deserve to be punished like this]? What sin have we committed against Yahweh our God?’
Když pak oznámíš lidu tomuto všecka slova tato, a řeknou-liť: Proč vyřkl Hospodin proti nám všecko zlé veliké toto, a jaká jest nepravost naše, aneb jaký hřích náš, jímž jsme hřešili proti Hospodinu Bohu svému?
11 Then this is what you must tell them [that I am replying to them]: ‘It is because your ancestors turned away from me, Yahweh. They worshiped other gods and served them. They abandoned me and did not obey my commands.
Tedy rci jim: Proto že opustili mne otcové vaši, dí Hospodin, a chodíce za bohy cizími, sloužili jim, a klaněli se jim, mne pak opustili, a zákona mého neostříhali.
12 But you [who are living now] have done more wicked things than your ancestors did! Each of you stubbornly does the evil things that he desires and refuses to pay attention to what I say.
Vy pak mnohem jste hůře činili nežli otcové vaši; nebo aj, vy chodíte jeden každý podlé zdání srdce svého zlého, neposlouchajíce mne.
13 So, I will throw you out of this land, and I will send you to a land that you and your ancestors have never known about. There you will worship other gods day and night. And I will not act mercifully toward you.’
Pročež hodím vámi z země této do země, o níž nevíte vy, ani otcové vaši, a sloužiti budete tam bohům cizím dnem i nocí, dokudž neučiním vám milosti.
14 But there will be a time when people [who are solemnly promising to do something] will no longer say, ‘[I will do this], [just as surely] as Yahweh lives—the one who brought the Israeli people here from Egypt.’
Protož aj, dnové jdou, dí Hospodin, v nichž nebude říkáno více: Živť jest Hospodin, kterýž vyvedl syny Izraelské z země Egyptské,
15 Instead, they will say ‘[I will do this, just as surely] as Yahweh lives—the one who brought [us] Israeli people back to our own land, from the lands to the north and from all the other lands to which he had (exiled us/forced us to go).’ [They will be able to say that] because [some day] I will bring your descendants back to this land that I gave to your ancestors.
Ale: Živť jest Hospodin, kterýž vyvedl syny Izraelské z země půlnoční a ze všech zemí, do nichž je byl rozehnal, když je zase přivedu do země jejich, kterouž jsem dal otcům jejich.
16 But now I am summoning [your enemies who will seize the people of Judah like] [MET] fishermen [catch fish]. I am summoning those who will search for them on every mountain and hill, and in every cave, [like] [MET] hunters [search for animals to kill].
Aj, já pošli k rybářům mnohým, dí Hospodin, aby je vylovili; potom pošli i k mnohým lovcům, aby je zlapali na všeliké hoře, a na všelikém pahrbku, i v děrách skalních.
17 I am watching them carefully. I see every sin [that they commit]. They will not [be able to] hide from me [MTY].
Hledím na všecky cesty jejich, nejsouť tajné přede mnou, aniž jest skryta nepravost jejich před očima mýma.
18 Because of all the wicked things that they have done [DOU], I will punish them twice as much [as I would punish other people. I will do that] because they have caused my land to become unacceptable to me because of their [worshiping] lifeless statues of detestable gods, and [also because they] have done many other evil things throughout my land.”
I odplatím jim prvé dvojnásobně za nepravost jejich a hřích jejich, proto že zemi mnou poškvrnili těly mrtvými ohyzdnými, a ohavnostmi svými naplnili dědictví mé.
19 [Then I prayed, saying], “Yahweh, you are the one who strengthens me and protects me [MET]; you are the one to whom I go when I have [troubles]. [Some day people from] nations all over the world will come to you and say, ‘Our ancestors left/gave us only something that was false; [they worshiped idols] that are completely worthless [DOU].
Hospodine, sílo má a hrade můj, i útočiště mé v den ssoužení, k toběť přijdou národové od končin země, a řeknou: Jistě žeť se falše drželi otcové naši, marnosti a právě neužitečných věcí.
20 No one can [RHQ] make their own gods; the gods that they make are [only idols]; they are not real gods.’”
Zdaliž udělá sobě člověk bohy, poněvadž sami nejsou bohové?
21 [Then Yahweh said], “Now I will show my power to [the people of Judah]; I will show them that I am truly very powerful [DOU]. Then, finally, they will know that I, Yahweh, [am the true God].”
Protož aj, já způsobím to, aby poznali té chvíle, způsobím, aby poznali ruku mou i moc mou, a zvědíť, že jméno mé jest Hospodin.
