Jeremiah 3
1 If a man divorces his wife and she goes and marries someone else, could he ever go back to her? Wouldn't the country be made totally unclean by this? But you have done worse by prostituting yourselves with many lovers, and now you want to come back to me? declares the Lord.
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 Look up at the bare hilltops. Is there anywhere that you haven't had sex? You sat at the roadside like someone from the desert waiting for your lovers to pass by. You have made the land unclean with your prostitution and evil.
»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 That's why no showers have been sent, and no spring rains have fallen. But you just stare back shamelessly like a prostitute; you refuse to accept you've done anything wrong.
Zato so bili nalivi zadržani in ni bilo poznega dežja; in ti imaš vlačugino čelo; odklonila si, da bi bila osramočena.
4 Didn't you just tell me, “My father, you've been such a close friend to me since I was little.
Mar ne boš od tega časa klicala k meni: ›Moj oče, ti si vodič od moje mladosti?‹«
5 You won't be angry with me for a long time, will you? You won't go on being like that forever?” This is what you've said, but you keep on sinning as much as you can.
Ali bo svojo jezo hranil na veke? Ali jo bo držal do konca? Glej, govoril si in storil hude stvari, kot ti lahko.
6 During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord told me, Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has prostituted herself on every high hill and under every green tree.
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 I hoped that after she'd done all this she'd come back to me. But she didn't come back, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw what happened.
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 She saw that because of everything unfaithful Israel had done on committing adultery, I sent her away, giving her a certificate of divorce. But her unfaithful sister Judah wasn't afraid and prostituted herself too.
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 Israel didn't care about the immorality, as she made herself and the land unclean, committing adultery by worshiping stones and trees.
Pripetilo se je skozi lahkomiselnost njenega vlačugarstva, da je omadeževala deželo in zagrešila zakonolomstvo s skalami in z lesom.
10 Despite all this, her unfaithful sister Judah didn't come back to me in sincerity. She only pretended to do so, declares the Lord.
Vendar se zaradi vsega tega njena verolomna sestra Juda ni obrnila k meni z vsem svojim srcem, temveč hlinjeno, « govori Gospod.
11 The Lord told me, Unfaithful Israel showed that she wasn't as guilty as unfaithful Judah.
Gospod mi je rekel: »Odpadnica Izrael se je bolj opravičila kakor verolomna Juda.
12 Now go and announce this message to the north: Come back, unfaithful Israel, declares the Lord. I won't be angry with you anymore, because I am merciful, declares the Lord. I won't be angry forever.
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 Just admit you did wrong, that you rebelled against the Lord your God. You spread yourself around, committing adultery by worshiping foreign gods under every green tree, refusing to do what I told you, declares the Lord.
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 Come back, unfaithful children, declares the Lord, because I am married to you. I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and 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 I will give you shepherds who are like me who will feed you wisely and with understanding.
Dal vam bom pastirje po svojem srcu, ki vas bodo hranili z znanjem in razumevanjem.
16 At that time as you increase in number in the country, declares the Lord, no one will be talking about the Ark of the Lord's Agreement anymore. People won't need to think about it or remember it or wonder what happened to it; and certainly won't need to make a new one.
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 When that time comes Jerusalem will be called the Throne of the Lord, and all the nations will come together in Jerusalem to honor the Lord. They won't be stubborn or wicked anymore.
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 At that time the people of Judah will join with the people of Israel, and they will return from the land of the north to the country I gave to your forefathers to own.
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 I said to myself, I really want you to be my children, and to give you the best country, the most beautiful place of any nation. I hoped you would call me “Father,” and never give up 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 But just like a wife might betray her husband, you have betrayed me, people of Israel, declares the Lord.
Zagotovo, kakor žena zahrbtno odide od svojega soproga, tako ste zahrbtno ravnali z menoj, oh hiša Izraelova, ‹ govori Gospod
21 Voices are crying on bare hilltops—the Israelites weeping and pleading for mercy, because they have gone astray and forgotten the Lord 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 Come back, unfaithful children, and I will heal your unfaithfulness. “We're here! Yes, we're coming back to you, because you are the Lord our God.”
Vrnite se, vi odpadli otroci in ozdravil bom vaša odvračanja.‹« »Glej, mi prihajamo k tebi, kajti ti si Gospod, naš Bog.
23 There's no doubt that pagan worship from the hills is pure lies; the idolatry that comes from the mountains is just noise. Israel's salvation is in the Lord our God alone.
Resnično, zaman je upati na rešitev duše s hribov in od množice gora. Zares, v Gospodu, našem Bogu, je Izraelova rešitev duš.
24 All our lives pagan idolatry has destroyed what our fathers worked so hard for: their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
Kajti sramota je od naše mladosti požrla trud naših očetov; njihove trope in njihove črede, njihove sinove in njihove hčere.
25 We should lie down in shame, and have our disgrace bury us. We have sinned against the Lord our God, us and our fathers. From when we were young right up to now we have not obeyed what the Lord our God told us to do.
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.«
