Kniha proroka Jeremiáša

1 (CPDV) “It is commonly said: ‘If a man has divorced his wife, and she departs from him, she will marry another man.’ So why would he return to her again? Is not that woman polluted and defiled? But you have fornicated yourself with many lovers. Even so, return to me, says the Lord, and I will accept you.
1 (KAT) (Hovoria:) Keď muž prepustí ženu a ona odíde od neho a oddá sa inému mužovi, či sa ešte vráti k nej? Či nie je takáto žena celkom sprznená? Nuž ty si smilnil s mnohými priateľmi a máš sa vrátiť ku mne? - hovorí Pán.

2 (CPDV) Lift your eyes straight up, and see where you did not debase yourself. You were sitting in the roadways, waiting for them, like a robber in the wilderness. And you have polluted the land by your fornications and by your wickedness.
2 (KAT) Pozdvihni oči na hole a pozri, kde ťa poškvrnili! Vysedával si im na cestách ako Arab na pustatine. Tak si znesvätil zem smilstvami a svojimi zločinmi.

3 (CPDV) For this reason, 428 the rain showers were withheld, and there were no late season rains. You made your face like that of a promiscuous woman; you were not willing to blush.
3 (KAT) Preto prestala pŕška a nebolo neskorého dažďa. Lenže ty si mal čelo sťa neviestka, nehanbil si sa.

4 (CPDV) Therefore, at least from this moment on, call out to me: ‘You are my father, the guide of my virginity.’
4 (KAT) Všakže, teraz voláš ku mne: »Otče, si mi priateľom z mladosti!

5 (CPDV) Why should you be angry unceasingly? And will you continue in this to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil, for you were able to do so.”
5 (KAT) Či sa večne budeš mrzieť? Bez konca budeš prechovávať hnev?« Tak hovoríš, ale robíš zle, koľko len vládzeš.“

6 (CPDV) And, in the days of king Josiah, the Lord said to me: “Have you not seen what the apostate Israel has done? She has brought herself up to every lofty mountain, and she has lain down under every leafy tree, and she has committed fornication there.
6 (KAT) Pán mi povedal v dňoch kráľa Joziáša: „Videl si, čo robila odpadlica Izrael? Chodila na všetky vyššie vrchy a pod každý zelený strom a tam smilnila.

7 (CPDV) And when she had done all these things, I said: ‘Return to me.’ But she did not return. And her deceitful sister Judah saw this:
7 (KAT) Myslel som si: Až toto všetko popácha, vráti sa ku mne, ale nevrátila sa. I videla to nevernica, jej sestra, Júda,

8 (CPDV) that because the apostate Israel had committed adultery, I had dismissed her and had given her a bill of divorce. Yet her deceitful sister Judah was not afraid. But she, too, went and committed fornication herself.
8 (KAT) videla, že som odohnal odpadlicu, Izrael, práve preto, že cudzoložila, a dal som jej priepustný list, ale nevernica, Júda, jej sestra, sa nebála, lež išla a smilnila aj ona.

9 (CPDV) And by the act of her fornication, she defiled the land. For she committed adultery with that which is stone and wood.
9 (KAT) A svojím krikľavým smilstvom poškvrnila zem, cudzoložila s kameňom a drevom.

10 (CPDV) And after all these things, her deceitful sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but with lies, says the Lord.”
10 (KAT) Hej, jej sestra nevernica sa ani napriek tomuto všetkému nevrátila ku mne z celého svojho srdca, ale iba zdanlivo,“ hovorí Pán.

11 (CPDV) And the Lord said to me: “The apostate Israel has justified her own soul by comparing herself to the deceitful Judah.
11 (KAT) Pán mi povedal: „Spravodlivejšia je odpadlica Izrael než nevernica Júda.

12 (CPDV) Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and you shall say: Return, O apostate Israel, says the Lord. For I will not avert my face from you. For I am holy, says the Lord, and I will not be angry forever.
12 (KAT) Choďže, volaj tieto slová k severu a vrav: Vráť sa, odpadlica Izrael, hovorí Pán, nebude sa mi na vás mračiť tvár, veď som milosrdný, hovorí Pán. - Nebudem sa hnevať naveky.

13 (CPDV) So then, truly acknowledge your iniquity, that you have betrayed the Lord your God, and that you have spread your ways to strangers, under every leafy tree, and that you have not listened to my voice, says the Lord.
13 (KAT) Len uznaj svoj hriech, že si bola nevernou Pánovi, svojmu Bohu, že si blúdila po cestách za cudzincami pod každým stromom zeleným, ale na môj hlas si nepočúvala, hovorí Pán.

14 (CPDV) Convert, O rebellious sons, says the Lord. For I am your leader. And so, I will take you, one from a city, and two from a family, and I will lead you into Zion.
14 (KAT) Vráťte sa, odbojní synovia - hovorí Pán, veď ja som vaším manželom! Nuž vezmem vás: jediného z mesta a dvoch z pokolenia a zavediem vás na Sion.

15 (CPDV) And I will give you pastors according to my own heart. And they will feed you with knowledge and doctrine.
15 (KAT) I dám vám pastierov podľa svojho srdca, budú vás vodiť dôvtipom a múdrosťou.

16 (CPDV) And when you have been multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they will no longer say: ‘The Ark of the covenant of the Lord!’ And it will not enter into the heart, and they will not call it to mind. It will neither be visited, nor made use of, any longer.
16 (KAT) A keď sa rozmnožíte a budete plodní v krajine, v tých dňoch - hovorí Pán - nebudú viac hovoriť: »Archa Pánovej zmluvy,« ani im na myseľ nepríde, nebudú na ňu spomínať ani ľutovať, ani ju nezhotovia viac.

17 (CPDV) In that time, Jerusalem will be called: ‘The Throne of the Lord.’ And all the nations will be gathered to it, in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem. And they will not walk after the depravity of their own most wicked heart.
17 (KAT) V tom čase sa Jeruzalem bude volať trónom Pánovým a zídu sa k nemu všetky národy, k Pánovmu menu do Jeruzalema; a už viac nepôjdu za hriešnou tvrdosťou svojho srdca.

18 (CPDV) In those days, the house of Judah will go to the house of Israel, and they will come from the land of the north, at the same time, to the land that I gave to your fathers.
18 (KAT) V ten deň pôjde Júdov dom k domu Izraelovmu a prídu spolu zo severnej krajiny do krajiny, ktorú som dal vašim otcom.

19 (CPDV) But I said: How shall I place you among the sons, and distribute to you a desirable land, the preeminent inheritance of the host of the Gentiles? And I said: You will call me Father, and you will not cease to walk after me.
19 (KAT) Ja som však povedal: Akože ťa pripočítam k synom a dám tI rozkošnú krajinu, najskvostnejšie dedičstvo medzi národmi? A povedal som: Budeš ma volať: »Otec môj« a neodstúpiš odo mňa.

20 (CPDV) But, in the same way that a woman spurns her lover, so also has the house of Israel spurned me, says the Lord.”
20 (KAT) Ako sa spreneverí žena priateľovi, tak ste sa mi spreneverili, dom Izraelov,“ hovorí Pán.

21 (CPDV) A voice has been heard in the highways, the weeping and wailing of the sons of Israel. For they have made their own ways sinful; they have forgotten the Lord their God.
21 (KAT) Čuj! Na holiach počuť plač, nárek synov Izraela, lebo si pokrivili cesty, zabudli na Pána, svojho Boha.

22 (CPDV) “Convert, O rebellious sons! And I will heal your rebelliousness.” “Behold, we are returning to you. For you are the Lord our God!
22 (KAT) „Vráťte sa, odbojní synovia, vyliečim vašu spurnosť.“ „Pozri, my prichádzame k tebe, veď ty si Pán, náš Boh!

23 (CPDV) Truly, the hills were liars, with the multitude of the mountains. Truly, the salvation of Israel is in the Lord our God.
23 (KAT) Ozaj klamom sú kopce i lomoz vrchov. Len v Pánovi, našom Bohu, je spása Izraela.

24 (CPDV) Confusion has devoured the labor of our fathers, from our youth, with their flocks and their herds, with their sons and their daughters.
24 (KAT) A »Hanba« pohltila mozole našich otcov (od našej mladosti), ich ovce a dobytok, ich synov a dcéry.

25 (CPDV) We will sleep in our confusion, and our disgrace will cover us. For we have sinned against the Lord our God: we and our fathers, from our youth, even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.”
25 (KAT) Preto ležíme vo svojej hanbe a zakrýva nás naša potupa; veď sme zhrešili proti Pánovi, svojmu Bohu, my i naši otcovia od svojej mladosti až po dnešný deň; nepočúvali sme hlas Pána, svojho Boha.“
