Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
Pravičen si ti, oh Gospod, ko se pravdam s teboj, vendar mi pusti govoriti s teboj o tvojih sodbah: »Zakaj pot zlobnih uspeva? Zakaj so srečni vsi tisti, ki postopajo zelo zahrbtno?«
2 You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their hearts.
Zasadil si jih, da, zakoreninili so se, rastejo, da, prinašajo sad. Blizu si v njihovih ustih in daleč od njihovih notranjosti.
3 But You know me, O LORD; You see me and test my heart toward You. Drag away the wicked like sheep to the slaughter and set them apart for the day of carnage.
Toda ti, oh Gospod, me poznaš, videl si me in preizkusil si moje srce do tebe. Potegni jih ven kakor ovce za klanje in jih pripravi za dan klanja.
4 How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field be withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.”
Doklej bo dežela žalovala in zelišča vsakega polja venela zaradi zlobnosti tistih, ki prebivajo v njej? Živali so použite in ptice, ker so rekli: »Ne bo videl našega zadnjega konca.«
5 “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
»Če si tekel s pešci in če so te utrudili, kako lahko potem tekmuješ s konji? In če so te utrudili v deželi miru, v kateri zaupaš, kako boš potem storil v naraščanju Jordana?
6 Even your brothers— your own father’s household— even they have betrayed you; even they have cried aloud against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.
Kajti celo tvoji bratje in hiša tvojega očeta, celo oni so zahrbtno postopali s teboj; da, za teboj so poklicali množico. Ne verjemi jim, čeprav ti govorijo lepe besede.
7 I have forsaken My house; I have abandoned My inheritance. I have given the love of My life into the hands of her enemies.
Zapustil sem svojo hišo, zavrgel svojo dediščino, srčno ljubljeno svoje duše sem predal v roko njenih sovražnikov.
8 My inheritance has become to Me like a lion in the forest. She has roared against Me; therefore I hate her.
Moja dediščina mi je kakor lev v gozdu; ta vpije proti meni, zatorej sem jo zasovražil.
9 Is not My inheritance to Me like a speckled bird of prey with other birds of prey circling against her? Go, gather all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour her.
Moja dediščina mi je kakor lisasta ptica, ptice naokoli so zoper njo. Pridite, zberite se vse ve zveri polja, pridite žret.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; they have trampled My plot of ground. They have turned My pleasant field into a desolate wasteland.
Mnogo pastirjev je uničilo moj vinograd, moj delež so pomendrali pod stopalom, moj prijeten delež so naredili zapuščeno divjino.
11 They have made it a desolation; desolate before Me, it mourns. All the land is laid waste, but no man takes it to heart.
Naredili so jo zapuščeno in zapuščena je žalovala k meni; celotna dežela je zapuščena, ker si noben človek tega ne jemlje k srcu.
12 Over all the barren heights in the wilderness the destroyers have come, for the sword of the LORD devours from one end of the earth to the other. No flesh has peace.
Plenilci so skozi divjino prišli na vse visoke kraje, kajti Gospodov meč bo požiral od enega konca dežele celo do drugega konca dežele; nobeno meso ne bo imelo miru.
13 They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves to no avail. Bear the shame of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
Sejali so pšenico, toda želi bodo trnje; položili so se v bolečino, toda ne bo jim koristilo. Sram jih bo tvojih poplačil, zaradi krute Gospodove jeze.«
14 This is what the LORD says: “As for all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people Israel, I am about to uproot them from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.
Tako govori Gospod zoper vse moje hudobne sosede, ki se dotikajo dediščine, za katero sem svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu dal, da jo podeduje: »Glej, izruval jih bom iz njihove dežele in Judovo hišo bom izruval izmed njih.
15 But after I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.
Potem ko jih bom izruval, se bo zgodilo, da se bom vrnil in imel sočutje z njimi in jih bom ponovno privedel, vsakega človeka k njegovi dediščini in vsakega človeka k njegovi deželi.
16 And if they will diligently learn the ways of My people and swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among My people.
In zgodilo se bo, če se bodo marljivo učili poti mojega ljudstva, da bodo prisegali pri mojem imenu: › Gospod živi, ‹ kakor so oni učili moje ljudstvo, da prisega pri Báalu, potem bodo pozidani v sredi mojega ljudstva.
17 But if they will not obey, then I will uproot that nation; I will uproot it and destroy it, declares the LORD.”
Toda če ne bodo ubogali, bom popolnoma izruval in uničil ta narod, « govori Gospod.
