Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night over the slain daughter of my people.
Oh, da bi bila moja glava vode in moje oči studenec solza, da bi lahko dan in noč jokal zaradi umorjenih hčera svojega ljudstva!
2 If only I had a traveler’s lodge in the wilderness, I would abandon my people and depart from them, for they are all adulterers, a crowd of faithless people.
Oh, da bi imel v divjini kraj za nastanitev popotnikov; da bi lahko zapustil svoje ljudstvo in odšel od njih! Kajti vsi so zakonolomci, zbor zahrbtnih mož.
3 “They bend their tongues like bows; lies prevail over truth in the land. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not take Me into account,”
Svoje jezike krivijo za laži kakor svoj lok, toda niso hrabri za resnico na zemlji. Kajti napredujejo od zla k zlu, mene pa ne poznajo, ‹ govori Gospod.
4 “Let everyone guard against his neighbor; do not trust any brother, for every brother deals craftily, and every friend spreads slander.
›Vsakdo naj se pazi svojega soseda in ne zaupajte v kateregakoli brata, kajti vsak brat bo popolnoma izpodrinjen in vsak sosed bo hodil z obrekovalci.
5 Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they wear themselves out committing iniquity.
Zavajali bodo vsak svojega soseda in ne bodo govorili resnice. Svoj jezik so naučili, da govori laži in izmučili so se s početjem krivičnosti.
6 You dwell in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to know Me,”
Tvoje prebivališče je v sredi prevare, zaradi prevare so odklonili, da me spoznajo, ‹ govori Gospod.
7 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will refine them and test them, for what else can I do because of the daughter of My people?
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, stopil jih bom in jih preizkusil. Kajti kako naj bi delal za hčer svojega ljudstva?
8 Their tongues are deadly arrows; they speak deception. With his mouth a man speaks peace to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
Njihov jezik je kakor izstreljena puščica; ta govori prevaro. Nekdo s svojimi usti govori miroljubno svojemu sosedu, toda v srcu preži.
9 Should I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD. Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
Ali jih ne bom obiskal zaradi teh stvari?‹ govori Gospod. ›Mar se ne bo moja duša maščevala na takšnem narodu, kot je ta?
10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains, a dirge over the wilderness pasture, for they have been scorched so no one passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled; they have gone away.
Zaradi gora bom povzdignil jokanje in tarnanje in zaradi prebivališč divjine žalovanje, ker so požgani, tako da nihče ne more iti skozi njih; niti ljudje ne morejo slišati glasu živine. Tako perjad neba kakor živali polja so pobegnile, odšle so.
11 “And I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
[Prestolnico] Jeruzalem bom naredil kupe in brlog zmajev. Judova mesta bom naredil zapuščena, brez prebivalca.
12 Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a desert, so no one can pass through it?
Kdo je moder človek, da lahko to razume? Kdo je tisti, kateremu so Gospodova usta govorila, da lahko to oznani, čemu dežela propada in je požgana kakor divjina, da nihče ne gre skoznjo?‹
13 And the LORD answered, “It is because they have forsaken My law, which I set before them; they have not walked in it or obeyed My voice.
Gospod govori: ›Ker so zapustili mojo postavo, ki sem jo postavil prednje in niso ubogali mojega glasu niti hodili v tem,
14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts and gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.”
temveč so hodili po zamisli svojega lastnega srca in za Báali, kar so jih naučili njihovi očetje.‹
15 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, hranil jih bom, celó to ljudstvo, s pelinom in piti jim bom dajal vodo iz žolča.
16 I will scatter them among the nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.”
Razkropil jih bom tudi med pogane, ki jih niso poznali niti oni niti njihovi očetje. Za njimi bom poslal meč, dokler jih ne použijem.‹
17 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Take note, and summon the wailing women; send for the most skillful among them.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite in pokličite žalovalke, da bi lahko prišle in pošljite po spretne ženske, da bi lahko prišle.
18 Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.
Podvizajo naj se in povzamejo tarnanje za nas, da bodo naše oči lahko tekle s solzami in naše veke brizgale z vodami.
19 For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! How great is our shame! For we have abandoned the land because our dwellings have been torn down.’”
Kajti glas tarnanja je slišati iz Siona: ›Kako smo oplenjeni! Silno smo zbegani, ker smo zapustili deželo, ker so nas naša prebivališča izvrgla.‹‹
20 Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.
Vendar poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, oh ve ženske in naj vaše uho prejme besedo iz njegovih ust in svoje hčere učite tarnanja in vsaka svojo sosedo objokovanja.
21 For death has climbed in through our windows; it has entered our fortresses to cut off the children from the streets, the young men from the town squares.
Kajti smrt se je povzpela skozi naša okna in vstopila v naše palače, da iztrebi otroke od zunaj in mladeniče iz ulic.
22 Declare that this is what the LORD says: “The corpses of men will fall like dung upon the open field, like newly cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather it.”
»Govori: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Celo trupla ljudi bodo padala kakor gnoj na odprtem polju in kakor prgišče za žanjcem in nihče jih ne bo zbral.‹
23 This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne dopusti, da moder človek slavi v svoji modrosti niti naj mogočen človek ne slavi v svoji moči, naj bogat človek ne slavi v svojih bogastvih.
24 But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth— for I delight in these things,”
Temveč naj tisti, ki slavi, slavi v tem, da me razume in spoznava, da jaz sem Gospod, ki izvajam ljubečo skrbnost, sodbo in pravičnost na zemlji. Kajti v teh stvareh se veselim, ‹ govori Gospod.
25 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish all who are circumcised yet uncircumcised:
›Glej, dnevi prihajajo, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom kaznoval vse tiste, ki so obrezani, z neobrezanimi:
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair of their temples. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”
Egipt, Juda, Edóm, Amónove otroke, Moáb in vse, ki so na skrajnih vogalih, ki prebivajo v divjini, kajti vsi ti narodi so neobrezani in vse Izraelove hiše so v srcu neobrezane.‹«
