Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the Lord told me to do: Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it on, but don't wash it.
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 went and bought a loincloth as the Lord had instructed me, and I put it on.
Tako sem dobil pas glede na Gospodovo besedo in si ga nadel na ledja.
3 Then the Lord gave me another message:
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč:
4 Take the loincloth that you bought and put on, and go immediately to the River Perath and hide it there in a hole among the rocks.
»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 at the River Perath, as the Lord had told me.
Tako sem odšel in ga skril pri Evfratu, kakor mi je Gospod zapovedal.
6 A long time later the Lord told me, Go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I ordered you 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 I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and removed it from where I'd hidden it. Obviously it was ruined—completely useless.
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 Then a message from the Lord came to me:
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
9 This is what the Lord says: I will ruin the arrogance of Judah and the great arrogance of Jerusalem in exactly the same way.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Na ta način bom oškodoval Judov ponos in velik ponos Jeruzalema.
10 These evil people refuse to listen to what I tell them. They follow their own stubborn and evil thinking and run off to worship other gods—they will be like this loincloth, completely useless.
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 In the same way that a loincloth holds tightly to the body, so I made all the people of Israel and Judah hold tightly to me, declares the Lord. Then they could have been my people, representing me, giving me honor and praise. But they refused to listen.
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 So tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wine jar shall be filled with wine. When they reply, “Don't we know that already? Of course every wine jar should be filled with wine!”
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 then tell them that this is what the Lord says: I'm going to make everyone who lives in this land drunk—the kings sitting on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
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 I'm going to smash them against each other like wine jars, both parents and children, declares the Lord. I won't let any mercy or pity or compassion stop me from destroying them.
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 Listen and pay attention. Don't be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
Poslušajte in pazljivo prisluhnite. Ne bodite ponosni, kajti Gospod je govoril.
16 Honor the Lord your God before he brings the darkness, before you trip and fall in the twilight on the mountains. You long for light to come, but he send only gloom and complete 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 you refuse to listen, I will weep secretly inside because of your pride. My tears pouring down because the Lord's flock has been captured.
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 Tell the king and the queen mother: Get down from your thrones, because your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.
»Reci kralju in kraljici: ›Ponižajta se, usedita se, kajti vajine kneževine bodo propadle, celó krona vajine slave.
19 The towns in the Negev are surrounded; no one can get through to them. The whole of Judah has been taken away into exile, everyone has been exiled.
Južna mesta bodo zaprta in nihče jih ne bo odprl. Ves Juda bo odveden v ujetništvo, v celoti bo odveden v ujetništvo.‹
20 Look up and you'll see the invaders coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you to look after? Where are the sheep you were so proud of?
Povzdigni svoje oči in poglej tiste, ki prihajajo iz severa. Kje je trop, ki ti je bil dan, tvoj krasen trop?
21 What are you going to say when he puts your enemies in charge of you, people you once counted as your friends? Won't you suffer pains like a woman in labor?
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 If you say to yourself, Why has this happened to me? it's because you have been so wicked. That's why your skirts were stripped off and you were raped.
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 Can Ethiopians change the color of their skin? Can a leopard change its spots? In the same way you can't change and do good because you're so used to doing 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 I'm going to scatter you like chaff blown away by the desert wind.
Zato jih bom razkropil kakor strnišče, ki ga odnaša veter iz divjine.
25 This is what's going to happen to you; this is what I have decided to do to you, declares the Lord, because you have forgotten me and believed in lies.
To je tvoj žreb, delež tvojih zmožnosti od mene, ‹ govori Gospod; ›ker si me pozabila in zaupala v neresnico.
26 I will pull your skirts up over your face, so you will be seen naked and ashamed.
Zato bom odkril krajce tvojih oblačil nad tvojim obrazom, da se lahko prikaže tvoja sramota.
27 I watched your acts of adultery and lust, how you prostituted yourselves shamelessly, worshiping idols on the hills and in the fields. Yes, I saw the disgusting things you did. Disaster is coming to you, Jerusalem! How long are you going to remain unclean?
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?‹«
