Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Would not that land be utterly polluted? But thou hast committed fornication with many lovers; yet return to me, saith Jehovah.
Pravijo: »Če človek odpusti svojo ženo in gre ona od njega in postane od nekega drugega moškega, ali se bo on ponovno vrnil k njej? Ali ne bi bila ta dežela silno oskrunjena? Ti pa si igrala pocestnico z mnogimi ljubimci; vendar se ponovno vrni k meni, « govori Gospod.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the heights and see, where hast thou not been lain with? In the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arab in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy fornications and with thy wickedness.
»Povzdigni svoje oči k visokim krajem in poglej, kje vse nisi bila poležena z [njimi]. Na poteh si sedela zanje, kakor Arabec v divjini in deželo si oskrunila s svojimi vlačugarstvi in svojo zlobnostjo.
3 And the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; but thou hast a harlot's forehead, thou refusest to be ashamed.
Zato so bili nalivi zadržani in ni bilo poznega dežja; in ti imaš vlačugino čelo; odklonila si, da bi bila osramočena.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
Mar ne boš od tega časa klicala k meni: ›Moj oče, ti si vodič od moje mladosti?‹«
5 Will he keep [his anger] for ever? Will he preserve it perpetually? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and thou art [so] determined.
Ali bo svojo jezo hranil na veke? Ali jo bo držal do konca? Glej, govoril si in storil hude stvari, kot ti lahko.
6 And Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what backsliding Israel hath done? She hath gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath committed fornication.
Gospod mi je tudi rekel v dneh kralja Jošíja: »Ali si videl to, kar je storila odpadnica Izrael? Odhajala je na vsako visoko goro in pod vsako zeleno drevo in tam igrala pocestnico.
7 And I said, After she hath done all these [things], she will return unto me; but she returned not. And her sister Judah, the treacherous, saw [it].
Potem ko je storila vse te stvari, sem rekel: ›Obrni se k meni.‹ Toda ni se vrnila. In njena verolomna sestra Juda je to videla.
8 And I saw that when for all the causes wherein backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce, yet the treacherous Judah, her sister, feared not, but went and committed fornication also.
Videl sem, ko sem jo zaradi vseh vzrokov, s čimer je odpadnica Izrael zagrešila zakonolomstvo, odslovil in ji dal ločitveni list, se njena verolomna sestra Juda kljub temu ni bala, temveč je tudi ona odšla in prav tako igrala pocestnico.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her fornication that she polluted the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Pripetilo se je skozi lahkomiselnost njenega vlačugarstva, da je omadeževala deželo in zagrešila zakonolomstvo s skalami in z lesom.
10 And even for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith Jehovah.
Vendar se zaradi vsega tega njena verolomna sestra Juda ni obrnila k meni z vsem svojim srcem, temveč hlinjeno, « govori Gospod.
11 And Jehovah said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath shewn herself more just than treacherous Judah.
Gospod mi je rekel: »Odpadnica Izrael se je bolj opravičila kakor verolomna Juda.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah: I will not make my face dark upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah; I will not keep [anger] for ever.
Pojdi in razglasi te besede proti severu in reci: ›Vrni se, ti odpadnica Izrael, ‹ govori Gospod › in svoji jezi ne bom povzročil, da pade na vas, kajti jaz sem usmiljen, ‹ govori Gospod, › in jeze ne bom držal na veke.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast turned thy ways hither and thither to the strangers under every green tree; and ye have not hearkened to my voice, saith Jehovah.
Samo priznaj svojo krivičnost, da si se pregrešila zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga in si svoje poti razkropila k tujcem pod vsakim zelenim drevesom in nisi ubogala mojega glasu, ‹ govori Gospod.
14 Return, backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you, and I will take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
›Obrnite se, odpadli otroci, ‹ govori Gospod. ›Kajti jaz sem poročen z vami. Vzel vas bom enega iz mesta in dva iz družine in vas privedel k Sionu.
15 And I will give you shepherds according to my heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Dal vam bom pastirje po svojem srcu, ki vas bodo hranili z znanjem in razumevanjem.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied in the land and become fruitful, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, Ark of the covenant of Jehovah! neither shall it come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit [it]; neither shall it be done any more.
Zgodilo se bo, ko boste pomnoženi in povečani v deželi, v tistih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ne bodo več rekli: ›Skrinja Gospodove zaveze.‹ Niti to ne bo prišlo na misel, niti se tega ne bodo spomnili, niti je ne bodo obiskali, niti to ne bo več storjeno.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem; and they shall no more walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Ob tistem času bodo [prestolnico] Jeruzalem imenovali Gospodov prestol. Vsi narodi bodo zbrani k njej, k imenu Gospoda, k [prestolnici] Jeruzalem. Niti ne bodo več hodili po zamisli svojih zlih src.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel; and they shall come together out of the land of the north, to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
V tistih dneh bo Judova hiša hodila z Izraelovo hišo in skupaj bodo prišli iz severne dežele k deželi, ki sem jo dal v dediščino vašim očetom.
19 And as for me, I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee the pleasant land, the goodly inheritance of the hosts of the nations? And I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following me.
Toda rekel sem: ›Kako te bom postavil med otroke in ti dal prijetno deželo, čedno dediščino vojske narodov?‹ Rekel sem: ›Klicala me boš: ›Moj oče‹ in ne boš se odvrnila od mene.‹
20 Surely [as] a woman treacherously departeth from her companion, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah.
Zagotovo, kakor žena zahrbtno odide od svojega soproga, tako ste zahrbtno ravnali z menoj, oh hiša Izraelova, ‹ govori Gospod
21 A voice is heard upon the heights, the weeping supplications of the children of Israel; for they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God.
›Glas je bil slišan na visokih krajih, jokanje in ponižne prošnje Izraelovih otrok, kajti izkrivili so svojo pot in pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga.
22 — Return, backsliding children; I will heal your backslidings. ...Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God.
Vrnite se, vi odpadli otroci in ozdravil bom vaša odvračanja.‹« »Glej, mi prihajamo k tebi, kajti ti si Gospod, naš Bog.
23 Truly in vain [is salvation looked for] from the hills, [and] the multitude of mountains; truly in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.
Resnično, zaman je upati na rešitev duše s hribov in od množice gora. Zares, v Gospodu, našem Bogu, je Izraelova rešitev duš.
24 But shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Kajti sramota je od naše mladosti požrla trud naših očetov; njihove trope in njihove črede, njihove sinove in njihove hčere.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God.
Uležemo se v svoji sramoti in naša zmešnjava nas pokriva, kajti grešili smo zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga, mi in naši očetje, od svoje mladosti, celo do današnjega dne in nismo ubogali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
