< Jeremiah 30 >
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
2 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Put down in a book all the words which I have said to you.
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, rekoč: ›V knjigo si zapiši vse besede, ki sem ti jih govoril.
3 For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.
Kajti glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo svojega ljudstva Izraela in Juda, ‹ govori Gospod ›in povzročil jim bom, da se vrnejo v deželo, ki sem jo dal njihovim očetom in oni jo bodo vzeli v last.‹«
4 And these are the words which the Lord said about Israel and about Judah.
To so besede, ki jih je Gospod govoril glede Izraela in glede Juda.
5 This is what the Lord has said: A voice of shaking fear has come to our ears, of fear and not of peace.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: »Slišali smo glas trepetanja, strahu in ne miru.
6 Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?
Vprašajte torej in poglejte, ali je mož v porodnih mukah z otrokom? Zakaj vidim vsakega moža s svojimi rokami na svojih ledjih, kakor žensko v porodnih mukah in so vsi obrazi postali bledi?
7 Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.
Ojoj! Kajti ta dan je velik, tako da mu ni nobeden podoben. To je celo čas Jakobove stiske, toda rešen bo iz nje.
8 For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant:
Kajti to se bo zgodilo na ta dan, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, » da bom zlomil njegov jarem s tvojega vratu in raztrgal tvoje vezi in tujcem ne bo več sužnjeval,
9 But they will be servants to the Lord their God and to David their king, whom I will give back to them.
temveč bodo služili Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in Davidu, svojemu kralju, ki jim ga bom vzdignil.
10 So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.
Zato se ne boj, oh moj služabnik Jakob, ‹ govori Gospod; ›niti ne bodi zaprepaden, oh Izrael, kajti, glej, rešil te bom od daleč in tvoje seme iz dežele njihovega ujetništva. Jakob se bo vrnil in bo v miru in bo tiho in nihče ga ne bo prestrašil.
11 For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
Kajti jaz sem s teboj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da te rešim. Čeprav naredim poln konec vsem narodom, kamor sem te razkropil, vendar iz tebe ne bom naredil polnega konca, temveč te bom grajal po meri in te ne bom pustil povsem nekaznovanega.‹
12 For the Lord has said, Your disease may not be made well and your wound is bitter.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Tvoja poškodba je nezaceljiva in tvoja rana je boleča.
13 There is no help for your wound, there is nothing to make you well.
Nobenega ni, da zagovarja tvoj primer, da bi bil lahko obvezan. Nobenih zdravilnih zdravil nimaš.
14 Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;
Vsi tvoji ljubimci so te pozabili. Ne iščejo te; kajti ranil sem te z rano sovražnika, s kaznovanjem krutega, zaradi množice tvojih krivičnosti, ker so tvoji grehi narasli.
15 Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
Zakaj vpiješ zaradi svoje stiske? Tvoja bridkost je neozdravljiva zaradi množice tvoje krivičnosti. Ker so tvoji grehi narasli, sem ti jaz storil te stvari.
16 For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.
Zatorej bodo vsi, ki te požirajo, požrti, in vsi tvoji nasprotniki, vsak izmed njih, bodo šli v ujetništvo, in tisti, ki te plenijo, bodo plen in vse to ukradeno blago na tebi bom dal za plen.
17 For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.
Kajti jaz ti bom obnovil zdravje in jaz te bom ozdravil tvojih ran, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ker so te imenovali Izobčenec, rekoč: ›To je Sion, ki ga noben človek ne išče.‹
18 The Lord has said, See, I am changing the fate of the tents of Jacob, and I will have pity on his houses; the town will be put up on its hill, and the great houses will be living-places again.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, ponovno bom privedel ujetništvo Jakobovih šotorov in se usmilil njegovih bivališč, in mesto bo zgrajeno na svojem lastnem kupu in palača bo ostala po svoji lastni navadi.
19 And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small.
Iz njih bo izšlo zahvaljevanje in glas tistih, ki se veselijo. Pomnožil jih bom in ne bo jih malo; prav tako jih bom proslavil in ne bodo majhni.
20 And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.
Tudi njihovi otroci bodo kakor poprej in njihova skupnost bo utrjena pred menoj, kaznoval pa bom vse, ki jih zatirajo.
21 And their chief will be of their number; their ruler will come from among themselves; and I will let him be present before me, so that he may come near to me: for who may have strength of heart to come near me? says the Lord.
Njihovi plemiči bodo izmed njih in njihov voditelj bo izšel iz njihove srede. Povzročil mu bom, da se približa in pristopil bo k meni, kajti kdo je ta, ki daje svojemu srcu jamstvo, da se mi približa?‹ govori Gospod.
22 And you will be my people, and I will be your God.
›Vi boste moje ljudstvo in jaz bom vaš Bog.‹«
23 See, the storm-wind of the Lord, even the heat of his wrath, has gone out, a rolling storm, bursting on the heads of the evil-doers.
Glej, vrtinčast veter od Gospoda gre naprej z razjarjenostjo, nenehen vrtinčast veter; boleče bo padel na glavo zlobnih.
24 The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.
Gospodova kruta jeza se ne bo vrnila, dokler ne bo tega storil in dokler ne izpolni namene svojega srca. V zadnjih dneh boste to preudarili.
