Jeremias 13
1 Thus saith the Lord, Go and procure for thyself a linen girdle, and put it about thy loins, and let it not be put in water.
Tako mi govori Gospod: »Pojdi in si priskrbi lanen pas in ga daj na svoja ledja, v vodo pa ga ne daj.«
2 So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
Tako sem dobil pas glede na Gospodovo besedo in si ga nadel na ledja.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč:
4 Take the girdle that is upon thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
»Vzemi pas, ki si ga dobil, ki je na tvojih ledjih in vstani, pojdi k Evfratu in ga tam skrij v skalno luknjo.«
5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
Tako sem odšel in ga skril pri Evfratu, kakor mi je Gospod zapovedal.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Po mnogih dneh se je pripetilo, da mi je Gospod rekel: »Vstani, pojdi k Evfratu in vzemi od tam pas, ki sem ti ga tam zapovedal skriti.«
7 So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.
Potem sem odšel k Evfratu in kopál ter vzel pas iz kraja, kjer sem ga skril. Glej, pas je bil iznakažen, ni bil koristen za nič.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
9 Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Na ta način bom oškodoval Judov ponos in velik ponos Jeruzalema.
10 [even] this great pride [of the men] that will not hearken to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
To zlo ljudstvo, ki zavrača poslušati moje besede, ki hodijo v zamisli svojega srca in hodijo za drugimi bogovi, da jim služijo in da jih obožujejo, bodo torej kakor ta pas, ki ni dober za nič.
11 For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not hearken to me.
Kajti kakor se pas trdno drži moževih ledij, tako sem storil, da se me trdno drži celotna Izraelova hiša in celotna Judova hiša, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da mi bodo lahko za ljudstvo, za ime, za hvalo in za slavo. Toda nočejo slišati.
12 And thou shalt say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that thou shalt say to them,
Zato jim boš govoril to besedo: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Vsak meh bo napolnjen z vinom.‹ Rekli ti bodo: ›Mar ne vemo zagotovo, da bo vsak meh napolnjen z vinom?‹
13 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.
Potem jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, s pijanostjo bom napolnil vse prebivalce te dežele, celo kralje, ki sedijo na Davidovem prestolu, duhovnike, preroke in vse prebivalce [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
14 And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, saith the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction.
Treščil jih bom enega ob drugega, celo očete in sinove skupaj, ‹ govori Gospod. ›Ne bom se usmilil niti prizanašal niti imel usmiljenja, temveč jih uničim.‹«
15 Hear ye, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.
Poslušajte in pazljivo prisluhnite. Ne bodite ponosni, kajti Gospod je govoril.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and ye shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.
Dajte slavo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, preden povzroči temo in preden se vaša stopala spotaknejo na temnih gorah in medtem ko gledate za svetlobo, jo obrne v smrtno senco in jo naredi [za] veliko temo.
17 But if ye will not hearken, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.
Toda če tega ne boste poslušali, bo moja duša jokala na skrivnih krajih zaradi vašega ponosa. Moje oko bo hudo jokalo in teklo s solzami, ker je bil Gospodov trop ujet odveden.
18 Say ye to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.
»Reci kralju in kraljici: ›Ponižajta se, usedita se, kajti vajine kneževine bodo propadle, celó krona vajine slave.
19 The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal.
Južna mesta bodo zaprta in nihče jih ne bo odprl. Ves Juda bo odveden v ujetništvo, v celoti bo odveden v ujetništvo.‹
20 Lift up thine eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, the sheep of thy glory?
Povzdigni svoje oči in poglej tiste, ki prihajajo iz severa. Kje je trop, ki ti je bil dan, tvoj krasen trop?
21 What wilt thou say when they shall visit thee, for thou didst teach them lessons for rule against thyself; shall not pangs seize thee as a woman in travail?
Kaj boš rekla, ko te bo kaznoval? Kajti učila si jih, da so poveljniki in kakor vodja nad teboj. Ali te ne bodo zajele bolesti kakor žensko v porodnih mukah?
22 And if thou shouldest say in thine heart, Wherefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of thine iniquity have thy skirts been discovered, that thine heels might be exposed.
Če rečeš v svojem srcu: ›Zakaj so prišle nadme te stvari?‹ Zaradi veličine tvoje krivičnosti so odkriti krajci tvojih oblačil in tvoje pete so razgaljene.
23 If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall ye be able to do good, having learnt evil.
Mar lahko Etiopijec spremeni svojo kožo ali leopard svoje lise? Potem bi lahko tudi vi delali dobro, ki ste navajeni, da delate zlo.
24 So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.
Zato jih bom razkropil kakor strnišče, ki ga odnaša veter iz divjine.
25 Thus is thy lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, saith the Lord; as thou didst forget me, and trust in lies,
To je tvoj žreb, delež tvojih zmožnosti od mene, ‹ govori Gospod; ›ker si me pozabila in zaupala v neresnico.
26 I also will expose thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall be seen;
Zato bom odkril krajce tvojih oblačil nad tvojim obrazom, da se lahko prikaže tvoja sramota.
27 thine adultery also, and thy neighing, and the looseness of thy fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, for thou hast not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]?
Videl sem tvoja zakonolomstva in tvoja rezgetanja, nespodobnost tvojega vlačugarstva in tvoje ogabnosti na hribih polj. Gorje ti, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem! Mar ne boš očiščena? Kdaj bo to enkrat prišlo?‹«
