Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the Lord, they shall cast out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of the princes thereof, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
»Ob tistem času, « govori Gospod, »bodo prinesli iz njihovih grobov kosti Judovega kralja, kosti njegovih princev, kosti duhovnikov, kosti prerokov in kosti prebivalcev [prestolnice] Jeruzalem
2 And they shall spread them abroad to the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and adored: they shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried: they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth.
in raztrosili jih bodo pred soncem, luno in vso vojsko neba, ki so jih ljubili, ki so jim služili, za katerimi so hodili, ki so jih iskali in ki so jih oboževali; ne bodo zbrane niti pokopane, le-te bodo za gnoj na obličju zemlje.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all that shall remain of this wicked kindred in all places, which are left, to which I have cast them out, saith the Lord of hosts.
Ves preostanek tistih, ki ostanejo od te zlobne družine, ki ostanejo v vseh krajih, kamor sem jih pognal, bodo raje izbrali smrt kakor življenje, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Shall not he that falleth, rise again? and he that is turned away, shall he not turn again?
Poleg tega jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali bodo padli in ne vstali? Ali se bo obrnil proč in ne vrnil?
5 Why then is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return.
Zakaj je potem to ljudstvo iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem zdrknilo nazaj z neprestanim odpadom? Trdno se držijo prevare, zavračajo, da bi se vrnili.
6 I attended, and hearkened; no man speaketh what is good, there is none that doth penance for his sin, saying: What have I done? They are all turned to their own course, as a horse rushing to the battle.
Prisluhnil sem in slišal, toda niso pravilno govorili. Noben človek se ni pokesal od svoje zlobnosti, rekoč: ›Kaj sem storil?‹ Vsak se je obrnil k svoji smeri, kakor konj hiti v bitko.
7 The kite in the air hath known her time: the turtle, and the swallow, and the stork have observed the time of their coming: but my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.
Da, štorklja na nebu pozna svoje določene čase, grlica, žerjav in lastovka obeležujejo čas svojega prihajanja, toda moje ljudstvo ne pozna Gospodove sodbe.
8 How do you say: We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Indeed the lying pen of the scribes hath wrought falsehood.
Kako pravite: ›Modri smo in z nami je Gospodova postava?‹ Glej, zagotovo jo je on naredil zaman, pisalo pisarjev je zaman.
9 The wise men are confounded, they are dismayed, and taken: for they have cast away the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
Modri možje so osramočeni, zaprepadeni in ujeti. Glej, zavrnili so Gospodovo besedo in kakšna modrost je v njih?
10 Therefore I will give their women to strangers, their fields to others for an inheritance: because from the least even to the greatest all follow covetousness: from the prophet even to the priest, all deal deceitfully.
Zato bom njihove žene dal drugim in njihova polja tistim, ki jih bodo podedovali. Kajti vsak, od najmanjšega celo do največjega, se nagiba k pohlepu, od preroka celo do duhovnika, vsak postopa napačno.
11 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying Peace, peace: when there was no peace.
Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
12 They are confounded, because they have committed abomination: yea rather they are not confounded with confusion, and they have not know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall fall, saith the Lord.
Mar so bili osramočeni, ko so zagrešili ogabnost? Ne, sploh niso bili osramočeni niti niso mogli zardeti. Zato bodo padli med tistimi, ki padajo. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo vrženi dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
13 Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.
›Zagotovo jih bom použil, ‹ govori Gospod: › tam ne bo grozdja na trti niti fig na figovem drevesu in list bo ovenel; in stvari, ki sem jim jih dal, bodo šle proč od njih.‹«
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.
Zakaj mirno sedimo? Zberite se in dajmo, vstopimo v obrambna mesta in tam bodimo tiho, kajti Gospod, naš Bog, nas je položil v molk in nam dal za piti vodo iz žolča, ker smo grešili zoper Gospoda.
15 We looked for peace and no good came: for a time of healing, and behold fear.
Iskali smo mir, toda nič dobrega ni prišlo, in na čas zdravja, pa glej težava!
16 The snorting of his horse was heard from Dan, all the land was moved at the sound of the neighing of his warriors: and they came and devoured the land, and all that was in it: the city and its inhabitants.
»Prhanje njihovih konj je bilo slišati od Dana. Celotna zemlja je trepetala ob zvoku rezgetanja njegovih močnih, kajti prišli so in požrli deželo in vse, kar je v njej; mesto in tiste, ki prebivajo v njem.
17 For behold I will send among you serpents, basilisks, against which there is no charm: and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
Kajti glejte, jaz bom med vas poslal kače, strupene kače, ki ne bodo očarane in te vas bodo pikale, « govori Gospod.
18 My sorrow is above sorrow, my heart mourneth within me.
Ko bi se želel tolažiti zoper bridkost, je moje srce oslabelo v meni.
19 Behold the voice of the daughter my people from a far country: Is not the Lord in Sion, or is not her king in her? why then have they provoked me to wrath with their idols, and strange vanities?
Glej, glas vpitja hčere mojega ljudstva zaradi tistih, ki prebivajo v daljni deželi: › Mar ni Gospoda na Sionu? Ali ni njen kralj v njej?‹ Zakaj so me do jeze dražili s svojimi rezanimi podobami in s tujimi ničevostmi?
20 The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Žetev je mimo, poletje je končano, mi pa nismo rešeni.
21 For the affliction of the daughter of my people I am afflicted, and made sorrowful, astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Zaradi zloma hčere mojega ljudstva sem zlomljen, črn sem, osuplost se me je polastila.
22 Is there no balm in Galaad? or is no physician there? Why then is not the wound of the daughter of my people closed?
Mar ni balzama v Gileádu, ali tam ni nobenega zdravnika? Zakaj potem zdravje hčere mojega ljudstva ni povrnjeno?
