< Jeremiah 16 >

1 The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying,
Gospodova beseda je prav tako prišla k meni, rekoč:
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
»Ne boš si vzel žene niti na tem kraju ne boš imel sinov ali hčera.
3 For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land:
Kajti tako govori Gospod glede sinov in glede hčera, ki so rojeni na tem kraju in glede njihovih mater, ki so jih nosile in glede njihovih očetov, ki so jih zaplodili v tej deželi:
4 They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
›Umrli bodo bolečih smrti; ne bodo objokovani niti ne bodo pokopani, temveč bodo kakor gnoj na obličju zemlje; z mečem in lakoto bodo použiti in njihova trupla bodo hrana za perjad neba in za živali na polju.‹
5 For thus saith Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Ne vstopi v hišo žalovanja niti ne pojdi, da žaluješ niti da jih objokuješ, kajti svoj mir sem odvzel od tega ljudstva, ‹ govori Gospod, › celó ljubečo skrbnost in usmiljenja.
6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
Tako veliki, kakor majhni bodo umirali v tej deželi. Ne bodo pokopani, niti ljudje ne bodo žalovali za njimi, niti se rezali, niti se ne bodo zaradi njih naredili plešaste.
7 neither shall men break [bread] for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Niti se zanje ljudje ne bodo trgali v žalovanju, da bi jih tolažili zaradi mrtvih; niti jim ljudje ne bodo dali čaše tolažbe, da bi pili za njihovega očeta ali za njihovo mater.
8 And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
Prav tako ne boš šel v hišo praznovanja, da sediš z njimi, da bi jedel in pil.
9 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, povzročil bom, da iz tega kraja, v vaših očeh in v vaših dneh, izgine glas smeha, glas veselja, glas ženina in glas neveste.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?
In zgodilo se bo, ko boš temu ljudstvu pokazal vse te besede in ti bodo rekli: ›Zakaj je Gospod proglasil vso to veliko zlo zoper nas? Ali kaj je naša krivda? Ali kakšen je naš greh, ki smo ga zagrešili zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga?‹
11 then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Potem jim boš rekel: ›Zato, ker so me vaši očetje zapustili, ‹ govori Gospod ›in so hodili za drugimi bogovi, jim služili in jih oboževali, mene pa zapustili in se niso držali moje postave.
12 and ye have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me:
Vi pa ste storili slabše kakor vaši očetje. Kajti glejte, hodite vsakdo za zamislijo svojega zlobnega srca, da mi ne bi prisluhnili.
13 therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.
Zato vas bom vrgel iz te dežele v deželo, ki je ne poznate niti vi niti vaši očetje in tam boste podnevi in ponoči služili drugim bogovom, kjer vam ne bom pokazal nobene naklonjenosti.
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Zato glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da ne bo več rečeno: › Gospod živi, ki je privedel Izraelove otroke gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
15 but, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
temveč: › Gospod živi, ki je Izraelove otroke privedel iz severne dežele in iz vseh dežel, kamor jih je pregnal, ‹ in ponovno jih bom privedel v njihovo deželo, ki sem jo dal njihovim očetom.
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
Glej, poslal bom po mnogo ribičev, ‹ govori Gospod ›in lovili jih bodo in za njimi bom poslal mnogo lovcev in lovili jih bodo iz vsake gore in iz vsakega hriba in iz skalnih lukenj.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from mine eyes.
Kajti moje oči so na vseh njihovih poteh, niso skrite pred mojim obrazom niti njihova krivičnost ni skrita pred mojimi očmi.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations.
Najprej bom dvojno poplačal njihovo krivičnost in njihov greh zato, ker so omadeževali mojo deželo, mojo dediščino so napolnili s trupli svojih ostudnih in gnusnih stvari.‹«
19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nought but lies, [even] vanity and things wherein there is no profit.
Oh Gospod, moja moč, moja trdnjava in moje zatočišče v dnevu stiske, pogani bodo prišli k tebi od koncev zemlje in bodo rekli: »Zagotovo so naši očetje podedovali laži, ničevost in stvari, v katerih ni koristi.
20 Shall a man make unto himself gods, which yet are no gods?
Ali si bo človek delal bogove in le-ti niso bogovi?
21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
»Zato, glej, tokrat bom povzročil, da bodo vedeli. Povzročil jim bom, da bodo spoznali mojo roko in mojo moč in vedeli bodo, da je moje ime Gospod.«
