Kniha proroka Jeremiáša

1 (CPDV) And then king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned in place of Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, appointed him as king in the land of Judah.
1 (ROH) A kraľoval kráľ Cedekiáš, syn Joziášov, miesto Koniáša, syna Jehojakimovho, ktorého ustanovil Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, za kráľa, v zemi Júdovej.

2 (CPDV) And neither he himself, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, obeyed the words of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Jeremiah, the prophet.
2 (ROH) Ale nepočúval ani on ani jeho služobníci ani ľud zeme na slová Hospodinove, ktoré hovoril skrze proroka Jeremiáša.

3 (CPDV) And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Pray to the Lord our God for us.”
3 (ROH) A 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.

4 (CPDV) Now Jeremiah was walking freely in the midst of the people. For they had not yet sent him into the custody of the prison. And then the army of Pharaoh went forth from Egypt. And hearing this, the Chaldeans, who were besieging Jerusalem, withdrew from Jerusalem.
4 (ROH) Jeremiáš vtedy ešte chodil slobodne medzi ľudom, a neboli ho ešte dali do žalára.

5 (CPDV) And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
5 (ROH) A vojsko faraonovo bolo vyšlo z Egypta. A keď počuli Chaldeji, ktorí obliehali Jeruzalem, o nich zvesť, odtiahli hore od Jeruzalema.

6 (CPDV) “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: So shall you say to the king of Judah, who sent you to question me: Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which has gone forth in assistance to you, will return to their own land, into Egypt.
6 (ROH) A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k prorokovi Jeremiášovi povediac:

7 (CPDV) And the Chaldeans will return and will make war against this city. And they will seize it and burn it with fire.
7 (ROH) Takto 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.

8 (CPDV) Thus says the Lord: Do not be willing to deceive your own souls, saying: ‘The Chaldeans will certainly withdraw and go away from us.’ For they will not go away.
8 (ROH) A navrátia sa Chaldeji a budú bojovať proti tomuto mestu a vezmú ho a spália ho ohňom.

9 (CPDV) But even if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and if there were left behind from among them only a few wounded men, they would rise up, each one from his tent, and they would burn this city with fire.”
9 (ROH) Takto hovorí Hospodin: Neklamte svojich duší hovoriac: Istotne odídu od nás Chaldeji. Lebo neodídu.

10 (CPDV) Therefore, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army,
10 (ROH) Lebo 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.

11 (CPDV) Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, and to distribute a possession there, in the sight of the citizens.
11 (ROH) A stalo sa, keď odtiahlo vojsko Chaldejov hore od Jeruzalema pre vojsko faraonovo,

12 (CPDV) And when he had arrived at the gate of Benjamin, the keeper of the gate, whose turn it was to be there, was named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he apprehended Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.”
12 (ROH) že išiel Jeremiáš von z Jeruzalema, aby odišiel do zeme Benjaminovej a vzal odtiaľ svoj podiel medzi ľudom.

13 (CPDV) And Jeremiah responded: “That is false. I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans.” But he did not listen to him. And so Irijah took Jeremiah, and he brought him to the leaders.
13 (ROH) Ale 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.

14 (CPDV) Therefore, the leaders were angry with Jeremiah, and so they beat him and sent him to the prison that was in the house of Jonathan, the scribe. For he was the chief over the prison.
14 (ROH) Na to povedal Jeremiáš: Nie je pravda; neodchádzam zradne k Chaldejom. No, nepočúval na neho, ale Jiriáš chopil Jeremiáša a doviedol ho ku kniežatám.

15 (CPDV) And so Jeremiah went into the house of the prison and into a dungeon. And Jeremiah sat there for many days.
15 (ROH) Vtedy sa rozhnevaly kniežatá na Jeremiáša a zbily ho a daly ho do väzenia, do domu Jonatána, pisára, lebo z neho boli spravili žalár.

16 (CPDV) Then Zedekiah the king, sending, took him out and questioned him secretly in his house, and he said: “Do you think that there is any word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said: “There is.” And he said: “You will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.”
16 (ROH) Keď takto prišiel Jeremiáš do domu jamy a do sklepených miestností, býval tam, Jeremiáš, za mnoho dní.

17 (CPDV) And Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah: “How have I sinned against you, or your servants, or your people, such that you would cast me into a house of imprisonment?
17 (ROH) Potom 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.

18 (CPDV) Where are your prophets, who were prophesying to you, and who were saying: ‘The king of Babylon will not overwhelm you and this land?’
18 (ROH) A ešte povedal Jeremiáš kráľovi Cedekiášovi: Čo som zhrešil proti tebe a proti tvojim služobníkom alebo proti tomuto ľudu, že ste ma dali do žalára?

19 (CPDV) Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king. Let my petition prevail in your sight. And do not send me back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
19 (ROH) A kde sú vaši proroci, ktorí vám prorokujú, že vraj neprijde babylonský kráľ na vás ani na túto zem?

20 (CPDV) Then king Zedekiah instructed that Jeremiah be confined to the vestibule of the prison, and that they should give him a twist of bread daily, along with stew, until all the bread in the city had been consumed. And Jeremiah remained at the entrance of the prison.
20 (ROH) A 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.

21 ----
21 (ROH) A 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.
