Jeremiah 22
1 This is what the Lord says: Go to the palace of the king of Judah and give this message.
Tako govori Gospod: »Pojdi dol k hiši Judovega kralja in tam spregovori to besedo
2 Tell them: Listen to what the Lord has to say to you, king of Judah, sitting on the throne of David, you and your officials and the people here with you.
in reci: ›Poslušaj besedo od Gospoda, oh Judov kralj, ki sediš na Davidovem prestolu, ti in tvoji služabniki in tvoje ljudstvo, ki vstopate pri teh velikih vratih.
3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is fair and right. Protect those who are being unjustly treated by corrupt people. Don't do anything wrong to foreigners, orphans, or the widows. Don't use violence against them. Don't kill innocent people.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Izvršujte sodbo in pravičnost ter oplenjenega osvobodite iz roke zatiralca. Ne delajte napačno, ne delajte nasilja tujcu [niti] osirotelemu niti vdovi niti ne prelivajte nedolžne krvi na tem kraju.
4 If you will honestly do what I tell you, then kings who sit on David's throne will ride on chariots and horses with their officials through the gates of this palace. They'll be accompanied by the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem.
Kajti če zares storite to stvar, potem bodo tam, pri velikih vratih te hiše, vstopali kralji, sedeči na Davidovem prestolu, jahajoči na bojnih vozovih in na konjih, on, njegovi služabniki in njegovo ljudstvo.
5 But if you refuse to obey what I say, then I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that this palace will be turned into rubble.
Toda če ne boste poslušali teh besed, prisežem pri sebi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo ta hiša postala opustošenje.‹
6 This is what the Lord says about the royal family of the king of Judah: You are as dear to me as the forests on Gilead and on the mountains of Lebanon. But I will turn you into a desert, into towns where no one lives.
Kajti tako govori Gospod kraljevi hiši Juda: ›Ti si mi Gileád in glava Libanona, vendar te bom zagotovo spremenil [v] divjino in mesta, ki niso naseljena.
7 I will choose men to come and destroy you, each with their own ax. They will chop down your fine cedars and throw them in the fire.
Zoper tebe bom pripravil uničevalce, vsakogar s svojimi orožji. Posekali bodo tvoje izbrane cedre in jih vrgli v ogenj.
8 Foreigners from many nations will pass by this city and ask each another, “Why has the Lord done such terrible things to this great city?”
Številni narodi bodo šli mimo tega mesta in vsak človek bo rekel svojemu sosedu: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil temu velikemu mestu?‹
9 People will answer, “Because they broke the agreement of the Lord their God. They went and worshiped other gods.”
Potem bodo odgovorili: ›Ker so zapustili zavezo Gospoda, svojega Boga in oboževali druge bogove ter jim služili.‹
10 Don't weep over the king that died. Don't mourn for him. Instead weep for the king who is exiled, who will never return, who will never see his homeland again.
Ne jokajte za mrtvim niti ga ne objokujte, temveč boleče jokajte za tistim, ki gre proč, kajti ne bo se več vrnil niti ne bo videl svoje domače dežele.
11 This is what the Lord says about Jehoahaz of Josiah, king of Judah. He succeeded his father Josiah but was taken away. He will never return.
Kajti tako govori Gospod glede Jošíjevega sina Šalúma, Judovega kralja, ki je zakraljeval namesto svojega očeta Jošíja, ki je odšel iz tega kraja: ›Tja se ne bo več vrnil, ‹
12 He will die in exile; he will never see this country again.
temveč bo umrl na kraju, kamor so ga odvedli v ujetništvo in ne bo več videl te dežele.
13 Trouble is coming to Jehoiakim because he mistreats others in building his palace, by dealing unfairly with those constructing the upper floors. He makes his own people work for nothing—he doesn't pay them any wages.
Gorje tistemu, ki svojo hišo gradi z nepravičnostjo in svoje sobe s krivico; ki brez plačil uporablja pomoč svojega soseda in mu ne daje za njegovo delo;
14 He says to himself, “I'm going to build myself a great palace, with large upper rooms.” He has windows inserted, puts in cedar panels, and paints it bright red with vermilion.
ki pravi: ›Zgradil si bom široko hišo in velike sobe‹ in si izreže okna; in ta je obložena s cedrovino in pobarvana z živo rdečo.
15 Does it make you a king just because you have more cedar than anyone else? Your father had food and drink, didn't he? He ruled fairly and honestly, and he had a good life because of this.
Mar boš kraljeval, ker se zapiraš s cedrovino? Mar ni tvoj oče jedel, pil, izvajal sodbo in pravico in je bilo potem dobro z njim?
16 He defended the poor and those in need, and so things went well. Isn't this what knowing me really means? declares the Lord.
Sodil je primer revnega in pomoči potrebnega; tedaj je bilo dobro z njim. Ali ni bilo to poznati mene?‹ govori Gospod.
17 But all you're looking for, all you think about, is getting whatever you want, however dishonestly. You kill the innocent, you violently mistreat and exploit your people.
Toda tvoje oči in tvoje srce sta zgolj za tvojo pohlepnost, za prelivanje nedolžne krvi, za zatiranje in za nasilje, da ga počneš.
18 So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah: They won't mourn for him, saying: “How sad, my brother! How sad my sister!” They won't mourn for him, saying: “How sad, my lord! How sad, his majesty!”
Zato tako govori Gospod glede Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja: ›Ne bodo žalovali za njim, rekoč: ›Ah, moj brat!‹ ali ›Ah, sestra.‹ Ne bodo žalovali za njim, rekoč: ›Ah, gospod!‹ ali ›Ah, njegova slava!‹
19 His burial will be that of a donkey. He'll be dragged off and thrown away outside the gates of Jerusalem.
Pokopan bo s pokopom osla, povlečen in vržen bo naprej onkraj velikih vrat [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
20 Go to Lebanon and cry for help! Shout in Bashan! Scream from Abarim! For all your lovers have been destroyed.
Pojdi gor na Libanon in jokaj; povzdigni svoj glas v Bašánu in jokaj iz prehodov, kajti vsi tvoji ljubimci so uničeni.
21 I warned you when you thought you were safe and sound. But you replied, “I'm not going to listen!” That's been your attitude since you were young—you never did what I told you.
Govoril sem ti v tvojem uspevanju, toda praviš: ›Ne bom poslušala.‹ To je bil tvoj način od tvoje mladosti, da ne ubogaš mojega glasu.
22 The wind will blow away all your “shepherds,” and your lovers will go into exile. Then you will be shamed and disgraced because of all the evil things you've done.
Veter bo pojedel vse tvoje pastirje in tvoji ljubimci bodo šli v ujetništvo. Potem boš zagotovo osramočena in zbegana zaradi vse svoje zlobnosti.
23 You who live in “Lebanon” in your cedar nest, how much you're going to groan when agonizing pains hit you like a woman in labor.
Oh prebivalec Libanona, ki delaš svoje gnezdo na cedrah, kako pomilovanja vreden boš, ko pridejo nadte ostre bolečine, bolečina kakor ženski v porodnih mukah!
24 The Lord said to Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah: As I live, declares the Lord, even if you were a signet ring on a finger of my right hand, I would pull you off.
Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod ›čeprav bi bil Konija, sin Jojahína, Judovega kralja, za pečat na moji desnici, bi te vendar od tam izruval
25 I'm going to hand you over to those who terrify you and who want to kill you, to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and the Babylonians.
in te izročil v roko tistih, ki ti strežejo po življenju in v roko tistih, katerih obraza se bojiš, celo v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in v roko Kaldejcev.
26 I'm going to throw you out—you and the mother who gave birth to you—sending you to another country. Neither of you were born there, but both of you will die there.
Vrgel te bom ven in tvojo mater, ki te je nosila, v drugo deželo, kjer nista bila rojena, in tam bosta umrla.
27 You won't ever return to the country you love so much.
Toda v deželo, kamor se želita vrniti, tja se ne bosta vrnila.
28 Who is this man Jehoiachin? A broken pot that's been thrown away, something nobody wants? Why has he and his children been thrown out, exiled in an unfamiliar country?
Ali je ta mož Konija preziran, polomljen malik? Ali je on posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva? Zakaj so izvrženi, on in njegovo seme in so vrženi v deželo, ki je ne poznajo?‹
29 My country, my country, my country! Listen to what the Lord has to say!
Oh zemlja, zemlja, zemlja, poslušaj Gospodovo besedo.
30 This is what the Lord says: Put this man down as having no children. He's a man who won't ever be successful in his whole life. None of his children will ever be successful either. None of them will sit on David's throne or be king in Judah.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Zapiši tega moža brez otrok, moža, ki ne bo uspeval v svojih dneh, kajti noben mož iz njegovega semena ne bo uspeval, sedeč na Davidovem prestolu in ne bo več vladal v Judu.‹«
