Jeremiah 34
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth which were under his rule, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its towns, saying,
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, ko se je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar, vsa njegova vojska, vsa zemeljska kraljestva njegovega gospostva in vse ljudstvo borilo zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in zoper vsa njena mesta, rekoč:
2 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Go and say to Zedekiah, king of Judah, This is what the Lord has said: See, I will give this town into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire:
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Pojdi in govori Judovemu kralju Sedekíju in mu povej: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, to mesto bom izročil v roko babilonskega kralja in ta ga bo požgal z ognjem.
3 And you will not get away from him, but will certainly be taken and given up into his hands; and you will see the king of Babylon, eye to eye, and he will have talk with you, mouth to mouth, and you will go to Babylon.
Ti ne boš pobegnil iz njegove roke, temveč boš zagotovo zajet in izročen v njegovo roko, in tvoje oči bodo gledale oči babilonskega kralja in ta bo govoril s teboj od ust do ust in šel boš v Babilon.‹«
4 But give ear to the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah, king of Judah; this is what the Lord has said about you: Death will not come to you by the sword:
Vendar poslušaj besedo od Gospoda, oh Judov kralj Sedekíja: »Tako govori Gospod o tebi: ›Ne boš umrl pod mečem,
5 You will come to your end in peace; and such burnings as they made for your fathers, the earlier kings before you, will be made for you; and they will be weeping for you and saying, Ah lord! for I have said the word, says the Lord.
temveč boš umrl v miru, in s sežigi [dišav] tvojim očetom, prejšnjim kraljem, ki so bili pred teboj; tako bodo sežgali dišave zate; in oni te bodo objokovali, rekoč: ›Ah, gospod!‹ Kajti jaz sem proglasil besedo, ‹ govori Gospod.«
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet said all these things to Zedekiah, king of Judah, in Jerusalem,
Potem je prerok Jeremija vse te besede govoril Judovemu kralju Sedekíju v Jeruzalemu,
7 When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the towns of Judah which had not been taken, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these were the last of the walled towns of Judah.
ko se je vojska babilonskega kralja borila zoper Jeruzalem in zoper vsa Judova mesta, ki so ostala, zoper Lahíš in zoper Azéko, kajti ta obrambna mesta so preostala od Judovih mest.
8 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah had made an agreement with all the people in Jerusalem, to give news in public that servants were to be made free;
To je beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, potem ko je kralj Sedekíja sklenil zavezo z vsem ljudstvom, ki je bilo v Jeruzalemu, da jim razglasi svobodo,
9 That every man was to let his Hebrew man-servant and his Hebrew servant-girl go free; so that no one might make use of a Jew, his countryman, as a servant:
da naj bi vsak človek pustil svojega sluga in vsak človek svojo deklo, ki je Hebrejec ali Hebrejka, oditi prosto, da naj ne bi bil nihče postrežen od njih, torej od svojega brata Juda.
10 And this was done by all the rulers and the people who had taken part in the agreement, and every one let his man-servant and his servant-girl go free, not to be used as servants any longer; they did so, and let them go.
Torej ko so vsi princi in vse ljudstvo, ki je vstopilo v zavezo, slišalo, da naj bi vsak pustil svojega sluga in vsakdo svojo deklo oditi prosto, da naj si nihče izmed njih ne pusti več streč od njih, potem so ubogali in jim pustili oditi.
11 But later, they took back again the servants and the servant-girls whom they had let go free, and put them again under the yoke as servants and servant-girls.
Toda potem so se obrnili nazaj in veleli služabnikom in pomočnicam, ki so jih pustili oditi proste, da se vrnejo in jih privedli v podjarmljenje za služabnike in za pomočnice.
12 For this reason the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Zato je Gospodova beseda prišla k Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
13 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I made an agreement with your fathers on the day when I took them out of Egypt, out of the prison-house, saying,
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Zavezo sem sklenil z vašimi očeti na dan, ko sem jih izpeljal iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti, rekoč:
14 At the end of seven years every man is to let go his countryman who is a Hebrew, who has become yours for a price and has been your servant for six years; you are to let him go free: but your fathers gave no attention and did not give ear.
›Ob koncu sedmih let pustite oditi vsak mož svojega brata Hebrejca, ki ti je bil prodan; in ko ti je služil šest let, ga boš pustil od sebe oditi prostega.‹ Toda vaši očetje mi niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa.
15 And now, turning away from evil, you had done what is right in my eyes, giving a public undertaking for every man to make his neighbour free; and you had made an agreement before me in the house which is named by my name:
In sedaj ste bili obrnjeni in storili pravilno v mojem pogledu v razglašanju svobode vsak človek svojemu sosedu; in pred menoj ste sklenili zavezo v hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom.
16 But again you have put shame on my name, and you have taken back, every one his man-servant and his servant-girl, whom you had sent away free, and you have put them under the yoke again to be your servants and servant-girls.
Toda obrnili ste se in oskrunili moje ime in veleli vsak človek svojemu služabniku in vsak mož svoji pomočnici, ki jih ste na njihovo zadovoljstvo spustili na svobodo, da se vrnejo in jih privedli v podjarmljenje, da so vam za služabnike in pomočnice.‹
17 And so the Lord has said, You have not given ear to me and undertaken publicly, every man to let loose his countryman and his neighbour: see, I undertake to let loose against you the sword and disease and need of food; and I will send you wandering among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Niste mi prisluhnili v razglašanju svobode, vsak človek svojemu bratu in vsak človek svojemu sosedu. Glejte, razglašam vam svobodo, ‹ govori Gospod, ›meču, kužni bolezni in lakoti, in storil vam bom, da boste odstranjeni v vsa kraljestva zemlje.
18 And I will give the men who have gone against my agreement and have not given effect to the words of the agreement which they made before me, when the ox was cut in two and they went between the parts of it,
In jaz bom dal ljudi, ki so prestopali mojo zavezo, ki niso izpolnjevali besed zaveze, ki so jo sklenili pred menoj, ko so tele preklali na polovico in šli med njegovima deloma,
19 The rulers of Judah and the rulers of Jerusalem, the unsexed servants and the priests and all the people of the land who went between the parts of the ox,
Judove prince in jeruzalemske prince, evnuhe in duhovnike in vse ljudstvo dežele, ki so šli med deloma teleta;
20 Even these I will give up into the hands of their haters and into the hands of those who have designs against their lives: and their dead bodies will become food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.
jaz jih bom celo izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju. Njihova trupla bodo za hrano perjadi neba in zemeljskim živalim.
21 And Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his rulers I will give into the hands of their haters and into the hands of those who have designs against their lives, and into the hands of the king of Babylon's army which has gone away from you.
Judovega kralja Sedekíja in njegove prince bom izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju in v roko kralja babilonske vojske, ki so šli gor od vas.
22 See, I will give orders, says the Lord, and make them come back to this town; and they will make war on it and take it and have it burned with fire: and I will make the towns of Judah waste and unpeopled.
Glej, zapovedal bom, ‹ govori Gospod ›in jim povzročil, da se vrnejo k temu mestu; in bojevali se bodo zoper njega, ga zavzeli in ga požgali z ognjem in jaz bom Judova mesta naredil opustošenje brez prebivalca.‹«
