Jeremias 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Aelam.
Na začetku kraljevanja Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, je prišla ta beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
2 FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Stoj na dvoru Gospodove hiše in govori vsem Judovim mestom, ki pridejo oboževat v Gospodovo hišo, vse besede, ki sem ti jih zapovedal, da jim jih govoriš; ne zmanjšaj niti besede.
3 Take up arms and spears, and draw nigh to battle;
Če bo tako, bodo prisluhnili in se obrnili, vsak človek iz svoje zle poti, da se lahko pokesam od zla, ki sem jim ga namenil storiti zaradi zla njihovih početij.
4 and harness the horses: mount, ye horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breast-plates.
Rekel jim boš: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Če mi ne boste prisluhnili, da se ravnate po moji postavi, ki sem jo postavil pred vas,
5 Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord.
da prisluhnete besedam mojih služabnikov prerokov, ki sem jih pošiljal k vam; zgodaj sem jih vzdigoval in jih pošiljal, toda niste prisluhnili;
6 Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
potem bom to hišo naredil podobno Šilu in to mesto naredil prekletstvo vsem narodom zemlje.‹«
7 Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves?
Tako so duhovniki, preroki in vse ljudstvo slišali Jeremija govoriti te besede v Gospodovi hiši.
8 The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
Pripetilo se je torej, ko je Jeremija končal govorjenje vsega, kar mu je Gospod zapovedal, da govori vsemu ljudstvu, da so ga duhovniki in preroki in vse ljudstvo zgrabili, rekoč: »Zagotovo boš umrl.
9 Mount ye the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, ye warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, ye Lydians, bend the bow.
Zakaj si prerokoval v Gospodovem imenu, rekoč: ›Ta hiša bo podobna Šilu in to mesto bo zapuščeno, brez prebivalca?‹« In vse ljudstvo je bilo zbrano zoper Jeremija v Gospodovi hiši.
10 And that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
Ko so Judovi princi slišali te stvari, potem so prišli gor iz kraljeve hiše h Gospodovi hiši in se usedli pri vhodu novih velikih vrat Gospodove hiše.
11 Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain hast thou multiplied thy medicines; there is no help in thee.
Potem so duhovniki in preroki spregovorili princem in vsemu ljudstvu, rekoč: »Ta mož je vreden, da umre, kajti prerokoval je zoper to mesto, kakor ste slišali s svojimi ušesi.«
12 The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together.
Potem je Jeremija spregovoril vsem princem in vsemu ljudstvu, rekoč: » Gospod me je poslal, da prerokujem zoper to hišo in zoper to mesto vse besede, ki ste jih slišali.
13 THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt.
Zato sedaj poboljšajte svoje poti in svoja dejanja in ubogajte glas Gospoda, svojega Boga, in Gospod se bo pokesal od zla, ki ga je proglasil zoper vas.
14 Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say ye, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured thy yew-tree.
Poglejte, kar se mene tiče, jaz sem v vaši roki. Z menoj storite kakor se vam zdi dobro in primerno.
15 Wherefore has Apis fled from thee? thy choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
Toda zagotovo vedite, da če me boste usmrtili, boste zagotovo privedli nedolžno kri nadse, nad to mesto in nad njegove prebivalce, kajti resnično me je k vam poslal Gospod, da v vaša ušesa govorim vse te besede.«
16 And thy multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
Potem so princi in vse ljudstvo rekli duhovnikom in prerokom: »Ta mož ni vreden, da umre, kajti govoril nam je v imenu Gospoda, našega Boga.«
17 Call ye the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
Potem so vstali nekateri izmed starešin dežele in spregovorili vsemu zboru ljudstva, rekoč:
18 [As] I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
»Mihej Moréšečan je prerokoval v dneh Ezekíja, Judovega kralja in govoril vsemu Judovemu ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Sion bo preoran kakor polje in Jeruzalem bo spremenjen v razvaline in gora hiše kakor visoki kraji gozda.
19 O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare thee stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
Ali ga je Judov kralj Ezekíja in ves Juda sploh dal usmrtiti? Mar se ni bal Gospoda in rotil Gospoda in se je Gospod pokesal zla, ki ga je proglasil zoper njih? Tako bi lahko prihranili veliko zlo zoper naše duše.
20 Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her.
Tam pa je bil tudi človek, ki je prerokoval v Gospodovem imenu, Urijá, sin Šemajája iz Kirját Jearíma, ki je prerokoval zoper to mesto in zoper to deželo, glede na vse Jeremijeve besede.
21 Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
Ko je kralj Jojakím, z vsemi svojimi mogočnimi možmi in vsemi princi, slišal njegove besede, je kralj iskal, da ga usmrti. Toda ko je Urijá to slišal, je bil prestrašen in pobegnil ter odšel v Egipt.
22 Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
Kralj Jojakím pa je poslal može v Egipt, in sicer Ahbórjevega sina Elnatána in nekatere može z njim v Egipt.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for [their number] cannot at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
Ti so Urijá spravili iz Egipta in ga privedli h kralju Jojakímu, ki ga je usmrtil z mečem in njegovo truplo vrgel v grobove preprostega ljudstva.
24 The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
Kljub temu je bila roka Šafánovega sina Ahikáma z Jeremijem, da ga ne bi predali v roko ljudstva, da ga usmrti.
25 Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
27 But fear not thou, my servant Jacob, neither be thou alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
28 Fear not thou, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: she [that was] without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust thee forth; but I will not cause thee to fail: yet will I chastise thee in the way of judgment, and will not hold thee entirely guiltless.
