Jeremiah 23
1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” declares the LORD.
»›Gorje pastirjem, ki uničujejo in razganjajo ovce mojega pašnika!‹ govori Gospod.
2 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the shepherds who tend My people: “You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your deeds, declares the LORD.
Zato tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, zoper pastirje, ki pasejo moje ljudstvo: ›Razkropili ste moj trop in jih odgnali proč in jih niste obiskovali. Glejte, na vas bom obiskal zlo vaših dejanj, ‹ govori Gospod.
3 Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock from all the lands to which I have banished them, and I will return them to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and multiply.
Zbral bom preostanek svojega tropa iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal in ponovno jih bom privedel k njihovim stajam; in bodo plodne in se množile.
4 I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any go missing, declares the LORD.
Postavil bom pastirje nad njimi, ki jih bodo pasli, in ne bodo se več bale niti bile prestrašene niti ne bodo trpele pomanjkanja, ‹ govori Gospod.
5 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land.
›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod ›ko bom Davidu vzdignil pravično Mladiko in Kralj bo vladal in uspeval in na zemlji bo izvajal sodbo in pravico.
6 In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.
V njegovih dneh bo Juda rešen in Izrael bo varno prebival. To je njegovo ime, s katerim bo imenovan: GOSPOD, NAŠA PRAVIČNOST.
7 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko ne bodo več rekli: › Gospod živi, ki je Izraelove otroke privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
8 Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought and led the descendants of the house of Israel up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ Then they will dwell once more in their own land.”
temveč › Gospod živi, ki jih je privedel gor in ki je vodil seme Izraelove hiše iz severne dežele in iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal; in prebivali bodo v svoji lastni deželi.‹«
9 As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, and all my bones tremble. I have become like a drunkard, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD, because of His holy words.
Moje srce znotraj mene je zlomljeno zaradi prerokov, vse moje kosti se tresejo. Podoben sem pijanemu človeku in podoben človeku, ki ga je vino premagalo, zaradi Gospoda in zaradi besed njegove svetosti.
10 For the land is full of adulterers— because of the curse, the land mourns and the pastures of the wilderness have dried up— their course is evil and their power is misused.
»Kajti dežela je polna zakonolomcev, kajti zaradi priseganja dežela žaluje. Prijetni kraji divjine so se posušili in njihova smer je zlo in njihova moč ni prava.
11 “For both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in My house I have found their wickedness,”
Kajti tako prerok kakor duhovnik sta oskrunjena; da, v svoji hiši sem našel njuno zlobnost, « govori Gospod.
12 “Therefore their path will become slick; they will be driven away into the darkness and fall into it. For I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment,”
Zato jim bo njihova pot kakor spolzke poti v temi, pognani bodo naprej in padli na njej, kajti zlo bom privedel nadnje, celó leto njihovega obiskanja, « govori Gospod.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.
Videl sem nespametnost pri samarijskih prerokih. Prerokovali so pri Báalu in mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu povzročili, da zaide na kriva pota.
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns his back on wickedness. They are all like Sodom to Me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”
Tudi pri jeruzalemskih prerokih sem videl strašno stvar: zagrešujejo zakonolomstvo in hodijo v lažeh. Prav tako krepijo roke hudodelcem, da se nihče ne vrne od svoje zlobnosti. Vsi so mi kakor Sódoma in njeni prebivalci kakor Gomóra.«
15 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says concerning the prophets: “I will feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki glede prerokov: »Glej, hranil jih bom s pelinom in jih pripravil piti vodo iz žolča, kajti od jeruzalemskih prerokov je izšla oskrunjenost po vsej deželi.«
16 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Ne poslušajte besed prerokov, ki vam prerokujejo. Delajo vas domišljave, govorijo videnje iz svojega lastnega srca in ne iz Gospodovih ust.
17 They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’
Tem, ki me prezirajo, nenehno pravijo: ›GOSPOD je rekel: ›Imeli boste mir; ‹‹ in vsakomur, ki hodi po zamisli svojega lastnega srca, pravijo: ›Nobeno zlo ne bo prišlo nad vas.«
18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it?
Kajti kdo je stal na posvetovanju pri Gospodu in zaznal ter slišal njegovo besedo? Kdo je opazil njegovo besedo in jo slišal?
19 Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
Glej, vrtinčast veter od Gospoda je v razjarjenosti šel naprej, celo bridek vrtinčast veter; ta bo bridko padel na glavo zlobnih.
20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly.
Jeza od Gospoda se ne bo vrnila, dokler ne izvrši in dokler ne izvede misli njegovega srca. V zadnjih dneh boste to popolno preudarili.
21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.
Teh prerokov nisem pošiljal, vendar tečejo; nisem jim govoril, vendar so prerokovali.
22 But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.”
Toda če bi stali na mojem posvetu in storili mojemu ljudstvu, da sliši moje besede, potem bi jih obrnili iz njihovih zlih poti in od zla njihovih početij.
23 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away?”
Ali sem jaz Bog pri roki, « govori Gospod »in ne Bog daleč proč?
24 “Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?” declares the LORD. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.
Ali se lahko kdo skrije na skrivnih krajih, da bi ga jaz ne videl?« govori Gospod. »Mar ne napolnjujem neba in zemlje?« govori Gospod.
25 “I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
»Slišal sem kaj so rekli preroki, ki v mojem imenu prerokujejo laži, rekoč: ›Sanjalo se mi je, sanjalo se mi je.‹
26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these prophets who prophesy falsehood, these prophets of the delusion of their own minds?
Doklej bo to v srcu prerokov, ki prerokujejo laži? Da, oni so preroki prevare svojega lastnega srca;
27 They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people forget My name, just as their fathers forgot My name through the worship of Baal.
ki mislijo, da bi mojemu ljudstvu povzročili, da pozabi moje ime s svojimi sanjami, ki jih oni govorijo vsak mož svojemu sosedu, kakor so njihovi očetje pozabili moje ime zaradi Báala.
28 Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.
Prerok, ki ima sanje, naj ta pripoveduje sanje in kdor ima mojo besedo, naj zvesto govori mojo besedo. Kaj je plevel v primerjavi s pšenico?« govori Gospod.
29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
» Mar ni moja beseda kakor ogenj?« govori Gospod, »in kakor kladivo, ki razbija skalo na koščke?
30 “Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.”
Zato glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki kradejo moje besede, vsakdo od svojega soseda.
31 “Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”
Glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki uporabljajo svoje jezike in govorijo: ›On pravi.‹
32 “Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD.
Glej, jaz sem zoper tiste, ki prerokujejo lažne sanje, « govori Gospod » in jih pripovedujejo in mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da s svojimi lažmi in s svojo lahkomiselnostjo zaide s svojih poti, vendar jih nisem jaz poslal niti jim zapovedal, zato sploh ne bodo koristili temu ljudstvu, « govori Gospod.
33 “Now when this people or a prophet or priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the LORD?’ you are to say to them, ‘What burden? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.’
»In ko te bo to ljudstvo ali prerok ali duhovnik, vprašalo, rekoč: ›Kaj je breme od Gospoda?‹ jim boš potem rekel: ›Kakšno breme? Jaz vas bom celo zapustil, ‹« govori Gospod.
34 As for the prophet or priest or anyone who claims, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ I will punish that man and his household.
»In kar se tiče preroka, duhovnika in ljudstva, ki bodo rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda, ‹ jaz bom celo kaznoval tistega moža in njegovo hišo.
35 This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
Tako boste govorili vsak svojemu sosedu in vsak svojemu bratu: ›Kaj je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je Gospod govoril?‹
36 But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.
Gospodovega bremena pa ne boste več omenjali, kajti vsakogar beseda bo njegovo breme, kajti sprevračali ste besede živega Boga, Gospoda nad bojevniki, našega Boga.
37 Thus you are to say to the prophet: ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
Tako boš govoril preroku: ›Kaj ti je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je rekel Gospod?‹
38 But if you claim, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ then this is what the LORD says: Because you have said, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ and I specifically told you not to make this claim,
Toda ker pravite: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹« zato tako govori Gospod, »Ker pravite to besedo: ›Breme od Gospoda ‹ in sem jaz poslal k vam, rekoč: ›Ne boste rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹‹
39 therefore I will surely forget you and will cast you out of My presence, both you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.
zato glejte, jaz, celo jaz, vas bom popolnoma pozabil in zapustil vas in mesto, ki sem ga dal vam in vašim očetom in vas vrgel iz svoje prisotnosti,
40 And I will bring upon you everlasting shame and perpetual humiliation that will never be forgotten.”
in nad vas bom privedel večno grajo in neprestano sramoto, ki ne bo pozabljena.«
