Jeremiah 44
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt —in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis —and in the land of Pathros:
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju glede vseh Judov, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi, ki prebivajo v Migdólu, v Tahpanhésu, v Nofu in v deželi Patrós, rekoč:
2 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You have seen all the disaster that I brought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, they lie today in ruins and desolation
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Videli ste vse zlo, ki sem ga privedel nad Jeruzalem in nad vsa Judova mesta, in glejte, ta dan so ta opustošenje in noben človek ne prebiva tam
3 because of the evil they have done. They provoked Me to anger by continuing to burn incense and to serve other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew.
zaradi njihove zlobnosti, ki so jo zagrešili, da me dražijo do jeze v tem, da so odšli zažigat kadilo in da služijo drugim bogovom, ki jih niso poznali niti oni, da, niti vaši očetje.
4 Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets again and again, saying: ‘Do not do this detestable thing that I hate.’
Vendar sem vam pošiljal vse svoje služabnike preroke, vzdigujoče zgodaj in jih pošiljal, rekoč: ›O ne storite te gnusne stvari, ki jo sovražim.‹
5 But they did not listen or incline their ears; they did not turn from their wickedness or stop burning incense to other gods.
Toda niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, da se odvrnejo od svoje zlobnosti, da ne bi zažigali kadila drugim bogovom.
6 Therefore My wrath and anger poured out and burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so that they have become the desolate ruin they are today.
Zato sta bila moj bes in moja jeza izlita naprej in vžgana v Judovih mestih in na ulicah Jeruzalema; in ta so opustošena in zapuščena kakor ta dan.‹
7 So now, this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves by cutting off from Judah man and woman, child and infant, leaving yourselves without a remnant?
Zaradi tega sedaj tako govori Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Zakaj ste zagrešili to veliko zlo zoper svoje duše, da izmed sebe iztrebite moškega in žensko, otroka in dojenčka, ven iz Juda, da nikogar ne pustite, da preostane.
8 Why are you provoking Me to anger by the work of your hands by burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to reside? As a result, you will be cut off and will become an object of cursing and reproach among all the nations of the earth.
V čem ste me dražili do besa z deli svojih rok, zažigajoč kadilo drugim bogovom v egiptovski deželi, kamor ste odšli, da prebivate, da se lahko sami odrežete in da ste lahko prekletstvo in graja med vsemi narodi zemlje?‹
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers and of the kings of Judah and their wives, as well as the wickedness that you and your wives committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Mar ste pozabili zlobnost svojih očetov, zlobnost Judovih kraljev, zlobnost njihovih žena, svojo lastno zlobnost in zlobnost svojih žena, ki so jo zagrešili v Judovi deželi in na ulicah Jeruzalema?
10 To this day they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence, nor have they followed My instruction or the statutes that I set before you and your fathers.
Niso se ponižali celó do tega dne, niti se niso bali, niti hodili po moji postavi, niti po mojih zakonih, ki sem jih postavil pred vas in vaše očete.
11 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring disaster and to cut off all Judah.
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glejte, svoj obraz bom naravnal zoper vas za zlo in da iztrebim vsega Juda.
12 And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have resolved to go to the land of Egypt to reside there; they will meet their end. They will all fall by the sword or be consumed by famine. From the least to the greatest, they will die by sword or famine; and they will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and reproach.
Vzel bom preostanek Juda, ki so svoje obraze naravnali, da gredo v egiptovsko deželo, da začasno prebivajo tam in vsi bodo použiti in padli v egiptovski deželi; torej použiti bodo z mečem in z lakoto. Umrli bodo, od najmanjših celo do največjih, z mečem in z lakoto, in bodo preziranje in osuplost, prekletstvo in graja.
13 I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, by sword and famine and plague,
Kajti kaznoval bom tiste, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi, kakor sem kaznoval Jeruzalem, z mečem, z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo,
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone to reside in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the land of Judah, where they long to return and live; for none will return except a few fugitives.”
tako da ne bo nihče izmed Judovega preostanka, ki so odšli v egiptovsko deželo, da začasno prebivajo tam, ušel ali preostal, da bi se vrnil v Judovo deželo, h kateri so imeli željo, da se vrnejo, da prebivajo tam. Kajti nihče se ne bo vrnil, razen tistih, ki bodo pobegnili.‹«
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by—a great assembly—along with all the people living in the land of Egypt and in Pathros, said to Jeremiah,
Potem so vsi možje, ki so vedeli, da so njihove žene zažigale kadilo drugim bogovom in vse ženske, ki so stale poleg, velika množica, celo vse ljudstvo, ki prebiva v egiptovski deželi, v Patrósu, odgovorili Jeremiju, rekoč:
16 “As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you!
» Glede na besedo, ki si nam jo govoril v imenu Gospoda, ti ne bomo prisluhnili,
17 Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.
temveč bomo zagotovo počeli katerokoli stvar, izhajajočo iz naših lastnih ust, da zažigamo kadilo kraljici neba in da ji izlivamo pitne daritve, kakor smo počeli mi in naši očetje, naši kralji in naši princi v Judovih mestih in na ulicah Jeruzalema, kajti tedaj smo imeli obilico živeža in smo bili dobro in nismo videli zla.
18 But from the time we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been perishing by sword and famine.”
Toda odkar smo prenehali zažigati kadilo kraljici neba in ji izlivati pitne daritve, smo bili v potrebi vseh stvari in smo použiti z mečem in z lakoto.«
19 “Moreover,” said the women, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”
»In ko smo zažigale kadilo kraljici neba in ji izlivale pitne daritve, mar smo ji naredile kolačke, da jo obožujemo in ji izlivale pitne daritve, brez naših moških?«
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,
Potem je Jeremija rekel vsemu ljudstvu, moškim in ženskam in vsemu ljudstvu, ki mu je dalo ta odgovor, rekoč:
21 “As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?
»Kadilo, ki ste ga zažigali po Judovih mestih in po ulicah Jeruzalema, vi in vaši očetje, vaši kralji, vaši princi in ljudstvo dežele, ali se jih ni Gospod spomnil in ali to ni prišlo v njegov um?
22 So the LORD could no longer endure the evil deeds and detestable acts you committed, and your land became a desolation, a horror, and an object of cursing, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
Tako da Gospod ni mogel več trpeti zaradi zla vaših početij in zaradi ogabnosti, ki ste jih zagrešili; zato je vaša dežela opustošenje, osuplost in prekletstvo, brez prebivalca, kakor na ta dan.
23 Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD, and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in His instruction, His statutes, and His testimonies, this disaster has befallen you, as you see today.”
Ker ste zažigali kadilo in ker ste grešili zoper Gospoda in niste ubogali Gospodovega glasu, niti hodili po njegovi postavi, niti po njegovih zakonih, niti po njegovih pričevanjih, zato se vam je zgodilo to zlo, kakor na ta dan.«
24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all those of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
Poleg tega je Jeremija rekel vsemu ljudstvu in vsem ženskam: »Poslušajte besedo od Gospoda, ves Juda, ki ste v egiptovski deželi:
25 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands your words: ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Go ahead, then, do what you have promised! Keep your vows!
›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, rekoč: ›Vi in vaše žene ste tako govorili s svojimi usti in s svojo roko izpolnili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bomo izvajali svoje zaobljube, ki smo se jih zaobljubili, da zažigamo kadilo kraljici neba in da ji izlivamo pitne daritve.‹ Zagotovo boste dokončali svoje zaobljube in zagotovo boste izvedli svoje zaobljube.
26 Nevertheless, hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah living in Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says the LORD, that never again will any man of Judah living in the land of Egypt invoke My name or say, ‘As surely as the Lord GOD lives.’
Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda, ves Juda, ki prebiva v egiptovski deželi: ›Glejte, prisegel sem pri svojem velikem imenu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da moje ime ne bo več imenovano v ustih kateregakoli moškega iz Juda in po vsej egiptovski deželi, rekoč: ›Gospod Bog živi.‹
27 I am watching over them for harm and not for good, and every man of Judah who is in the land of Egypt will meet his end by sword or famine, until they are finished off.
Glej, bedel bom nad njimi za zlo in ne za dobro; in vsi Judovi možje, ki so v egiptovski deželi, bodo použiti z mečem in z lakoto, dokler jih ne bo konec.
28 Those who escape the sword will return from Egypt to Judah, few in number, and the whole remnant of Judah who went to dwell in the land of Egypt will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs!
Vendar se bo malo število, ki pobegne meču, vrnilo iz egiptovske dežele v Judovo deželo in ves preostanek Juda, ki so odšli v egiptovsko deželo, da tam začasno prebiva, bo vedel čigave besede bodo obstale, moje ali njihove.
29 This will be a sign to you that I will punish you in this place, declares the LORD, so that you may know that My threats of harm against you will surely stand.
To vam bo znamenje, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da vas bom kaznoval na tem kraju, da boste lahko vedeli, da bodo moje besede zagotovo obstale zoper vas v zlo.‹
30 This is what the LORD says: Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who seek his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who was seeking his life.”
Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, izročil bom faraona Hofrája, egiptovskega kralja, v roko njegovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki strežejo po njegovem življenju, kakor sem Judovega kralja Sedekíja izročil v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, njegovega sovražnika in ki je stregel po njegovem življenju.‹«
