Kniha proroka Jeremiáša

1 (CPDV) Then Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people, saying:
1 (KAT) Safatiáš, syn Mátanov, Gedeliáš, syn Pášurov, Juchal, syn Selemiášov, a Pášur, syn Melchiášov, počuli slová, ktoré Jeremiáš hovoril všetkému ľudu, a to:

2 (CPDV) “Thus says the Lord: Whoever will remain in this city will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. But whoever will flee away from the Chaldeans, will live, and his soul will dwell in safety.
2 (KAT) „Toto hovorí Pán: Kto ostane v tomto meste, zomrie pod mečom, od hladu a na mor; kto však prejde k Chaldejcom, ostane žiť, vlastný život bude jeho korisťou a bude žiť.

3 (CPDV) Thus says the Lord: This city will certainly be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”
3 (KAT) Toto hovorí Pán: Určite sa toto mesto dostane do rúk vojska babylonského kráľa, ktorý si ho podmaní.“

4 (CPDV) And the leaders said to the king: “We petition you to put this man to death. For he is deliberately weakening the hands of the men of war, who have remained in this city, and the hands of the people, by speaking to them with these words. For this man is certainly not seeking peace for this people, but evil.”
4 (KAT) Vtedy kniežatá povedali kráľovi: „Nech usmrtia tohto človeka; veď takto len podlamuje odolnosť bojovníkov, ktorí v tomto meste zostali, aj odolnosť všetkého ľudu, keď im hovorí podobné reči. Veď tento človek nehľadá blaho tohto ľudu, ale len nešťastie.“

5 (CPDV) And king Zedekiah said: “Behold, he is in your hands. For it is not fitting for the king to deny you anything.”
5 (KAT) Kráľ Sedekiáš im odpovedal: „Veď ho máte v rukách! A kráľ nemôže nič proti vám.“

6 (CPDV) Therefore, they took Jeremiah and cast him into the pit of Malchiah, the son of Amelech, which was at the entrance to the prison. And they lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the pit, in which there was no water, but only mud. And so Jeremiah descended into the mire.
6 (KAT) Vzali teda Jeremiáša a hodili ho do cisterny kráľovho syna Melchiáša, ktorá bola v strážnom nádvorí. Jeremiáša spustili po povrazoch; v cisterne však nebola voda, ale iba blato, nuž Jeremiáš sa ponoril do bahna.

7 (CPDV) Now Ebedmelech, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch who was in the king’s house, heard that they had sent Jeremiah into the pit, and also that the king was sitting at the gate of Benjamin.
7 (KAT) V kráľovskom dome zamestnaný eunuch, Etiópec Abdemelech, sa dopočul, že Jeremiáša spustili do cisterny. Kráľ práve sedel v Benjamínovej bráne.

8 (CPDV) And so Ebedmelech departed from the king’s house, and he spoke to the king, saying:
8 (KAT) Keď Abdemelech vychádzal z kráľovského domu, oslovil kráľa:

9 (CPDV) “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have perpetrated against Jeremiah the prophet, casting him into the pit so that he would die there from famine. For there is no more bread in the city.”
9 (KAT) „Pane môj, kráľu, zlo spáchali tí mužovia všetkým, čo urobili prorokovi Jeremiášovi, keď ho hodili do cisterny, aby tam dolu umrel od hladu, veď v meste už niet chleba!“

10 (CPDV) And so the king instructed Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying: “Take with you thirty men from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”
10 (KAT) Nato kráľ rozkázal Etiópcovi Abdemelechovi: „Vezmi odtiaľto so sebou tridsať chlapov a vytiahni proroka Jeremiáša z cisterny skôr, ako zomrie.“

11 (CPDV) Therefore, Ebedmelech, taking the men with him, entered into the king’s house to a place below the storehouse. And he took from there old garments, no longer in use, and he sent them down by rope to Jeremiah in the pit.
11 (KAT) Abdemelech vzal teda so sebou chlapov, išiel do kráľovho domu do odevného skladu, vzal odtiaľ handry zo šiat a staré zdrapy a spustil ich po povrazoch Jeremiášovi do cisterny.

12 (CPDV) And Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, said to Jeremiah: “Place these old garments, and these cut and decaying cloths, under your arms and over the ropes.” And Jeremiah did so.
12 (KAT) Etiópec Abdemelech povedal Jeremiášovi: „Daj si tieto staré handry a zdrapy pod pazuchu pod povrazy!“ Jeremiáš urobil tak

13 (CPDV) And they pulled up Jeremiah with the ropes, and they led him away from the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the vestibule of the prison.
13 (KAT) a Jeremiáša vytiahli povrazmi a vyviedli ho z cisterny. Potom ostal Jeremiáš v strážnom nádvorí.

14 (CPDV) And king Zedekiah sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to him at the third gate, which was at the house of the Lord. And the king said to Jeremiah: “I will question you about a matter. You shall conceal nothing from me.”
14 (KAT) Kráľ Sedekiáš dal však Jeremiáša priviesť k sebe k tretiemu vchodu Pánovho domu a kráľ povedal Jeremiášovi: „Spýtam sa ťa čosi, nezataj predo mnou nič!“

15 (CPDV) Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “If I announce to you, will you not put me to death? And if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”
15 (KAT) Jeremiáš odpovedal Sedekiášovi: „A nedáš ma usmrtiť, ak ti to poviem? A ak ti dám radu, nepočúvneš ma.“

16 (CPDV) Then king Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah, secretly, saying: “As the Lord lives, who made this soul for us, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of those men who are seeking your life.”
16 (KAT) Sedekiáš sa teda tajne zaprisahal Jeremiášovi: „Ako žije Pán, ktorý nám dal tento život, nedám ťa usmrtiť ani ťa nedám do rúk mužov, ktorí ti číhajú na život.“

17 (CPDV) And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “Thus 450 says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If, having set out, you go to the rulers of the king of Babylon, your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. And you and your house will be safe.
17 (KAT) Nato Jeremiáš povedal Sedekiášovi: „Toto hovorí Pán, Boh zástupov, Boh Izraela: Ak sa poddáš vojvodcom babylonského kráľa, zachrániš si život a toto mesto nevypália; budeš žiť ty i tvoj dom.

18 (CPDV) But if you will not go to the rulers of the king of Babylon, this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire. And you will not escape from their hand.”
18 (KAT) Ak sa však nepoddáš vojvodcom babylonského kráľa, toto mesto sa dostane do ruky Chaldejcov, vypália ho a ty sa nevyslobodíš z ich ruky.“

19 (CPDV) And king Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “I am anxious, because of the Jews who have crossed over to the Chaldeans, lest perhaps I may be delivered into their hands, and they may abuse me.”
19 (KAT) Kráľ Sedekiáš odpovedal Jeremiášovi: „Mám starosti pre Júdovcov, ktorí prešli k Chaldejcom, aby ma nevydali do ich rúk; oni by ma znevážili.“

20 (CPDV) But Jeremiah responded: “They will not deliver you. Listen, I ask you, to the voice of the Lord, which I am speaking to you, and it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
20 (KAT) Jeremiáš povedal: „Nevydajú! Počúvni Pánov hlas vo veci, o ktorej ti hovorím, bude sa ti dobre vodiť a ostaneš nažive.

21 (CPDV) But if you refuse to depart, this is the word that the Lord has revealed to me:
21 (KAT) Ale ak sa budeš zdráhať prejsť, tak mi Pán zjavil toto:

22 (CPDV) Behold, all the women who remain in the house of the king of Judah will be led away to the rulers of the king of Babylon. And the women will say: ‘Your men of peacefulness have led you astray, and they have prevailed against you. They have immersed your feet in mud and have set them in a slippery place. And they have withdrawn from you.’
22 (KAT) Hľa, všetky ženy, ktoré ešte zostali v dome júdskeho kráľa, vyvedú k vojvodcom babylonského kráľa a samy budú hovoriť: »Zaviedli ťa a premohli ťa tvoji dôverní priatelia. Keď sa ti nohy zaborili do blata, ukázali ti chrbát.«

23 (CPDV) And all your wives and your sons will be led away to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape from their hands. Instead, you will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will burn this city with fire.”
23 (KAT) Všetky tvoje ženy a tvojich synov vyvedú k Chaldejcom a ty sa nevyslobodíš z ich rúk, padneš do ruky babylonského kráľa a toto mesto vypália ohňom.“

24 (CPDV) Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “Let no one know of these words, and you will not die.
24 (KAT) Nato Sedekiáš povedal Jeremiášovi: „Nech sa nik nedozvie o týchto veciach, vtedy nezomrieš.

25 (CPDV) But if the leaders hear that I have spoken with you, and if they come to you, and say to you: ‘Tell us what you said to the king. Do not conceal it from us, and we will not put you to death. And tell us what the king said to you,’
25 (KAT) Ak sa však kniežatá dozvedia, že som s tebou hovoril, a prídu k tebe a budú sa ťa spytovať: »Povedz nám, čo si vravel kráľovi i čo tebe povedal kráľ, nezataj to pred nami a neusmrtíme ťa«

26 (CPDV) then you shall say to them: ‘I presented my supplication before the king, so that he would not order me to be led back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.’ ”
26 (KAT) - odpovedz im: »Predložil som kráľovi svoju prosbu, aby ma neposlal naspäť do Jonatánovho domu, aby som tam neumrel.«“

27 (CPDV) Then all the leaders came to Jeremiah, and they questioned him. And he spoke to them in accord with all the words that the king had commanded him. And they withdrew from him, for they had learned nothing.
27 (KAT) A kniežatá prišli k Jeremiášovi a vypytovali sa ho a on im povedal všetko tak, ako mu rozkázal kráľ. Nechali ho teda na pokoji, vec sa totiž nerozchýrila.

28 (CPDV) Yet truly, Jeremiah remained at the entrance of the prison, until the day when Jerusalem was seized. And it happened that Jerusalem was captured.
28 (KAT) Jeremiáš však ostal v strážnom nádvorí až do dňa, keď sa zmocnili Jeruzalema. Keď zaujali Jeruzalem…
