Jeremiah 10
1 Heare ye the worde of the Lord that he speaketh vnto you, O house of Israel.
Prisluhnite besedi, ki vam jo govori Gospod, oh hiša Izraelova:
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the signes of heauen, though the heathen be afraid of such.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne uči se poti poganov in ne bodi zaprepaden ob znamenjih z neba, kajti pogani so zaprepadeni ob njih.
3 For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest (which is the worke of the handes of the carpenter) with the axe,
Kajti običaji ljudstva so prazni, kajti nekdo s sekiro poseka drevo iz gozda, delo delavčevih rok.
4 And another decketh it with siluer, and with golde: they fasten it with nailes, and hammers, that it fall not.
Okrasijo ga s srebrom in zlatom; pritrdijo ga z žeblji in kladivi, da se ne premika.
5 The idoles stande vp as the palme tree, but speake not: they are borne because they cannot go feare them not, for they cannot do euill, neither can they do good.
Pokončni so kakor palmovo drevo, toda ne govorijo. Morajo jih nositi, ker ne morejo hoditi. Ne bojte se jih, kajti ne morejo storiti zla niti ni v njih, da delajo dobro.‹«
6 There is none like vnto thee, O Lord: thou art great, and thy name is great in power.
Ker ne obstaja nihče podoben tebi, oh Gospod; ti si velik in tvoje ime je veliko v moči.
7 Who would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee appertaineth the dominion: for among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in al their kingdomes there is none like thee.
Kdo se te ne bi bal, oh kralj narodov? Kajti tebi to pripada, glede na to, da med vsemi modrimi možmi narodov in med vsemi njihovimi kraljestvi, ni tam nikogar podobnega tebi.
8 But, altogether they dote, and are foolish: for the stocke is a doctrine of vanitie.
Toda oni so vsi skupaj brutalni in nespametni. Kos lesa je nauk ničevosti.
9 Siluer plates are brought from Tarshish, and golde from Vphaz, for the worke of the workeman, and the handes of the founder: the blewe silke, and the purple is their clothing: all these things are made by cunning men.
Srebro, sploščeno na ploščice, je prineseno iz Taršíša in zlato iz Ufáza, delo delavca in iz rok livarja. Modra in vijolična so njihova oblačila. Vsa so delo spretnih ljudi.
10 But the Lord is the God of trueth: he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his anger the earth shall tremble, and the nations cannot abide his wrath.
Toda Gospod je resničen Bog, on je živi Bog in večen kralj. Ob njegovem besu bo zemlja trepetala in narodi ne bodo zmožni prenesti njegovega ogorčenja.
11 (Thus shall you say vnto them, The gods that haue not made the heauens and the earth, shall perish from the earth, and from vnder these heauens)
Tako jim boste govorili: › Celó bogovi, ki niso naredili neba in zemlje, bodo izginili z zemlje in izpod tega neba.‹«
12 He hath made the earth by his power, and established the worlde by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
S svojo močjo je naredil zemljo, s svojo modrostjo je osnoval zemeljski [krog] in s svojo preudarnostjo razprostrl nebo.
13 Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to rayne, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures.
Kadar izusti svoj glas, je tam množica vodá v nebesih in meglicam povzroča, da se dvigujejo od koncev zemlje; on dela bliskanje z dežjem in iz svojih zakladnic prinaša veter.
14 Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
Vsak človek je v svojem spoznanju brutalen. Vsak livar je zbegan z rezano podobo, kajti njegova ulita podoba je neresnica in tam ni diha v njih.
15 They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Ničevost so in delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginili.
16 The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
Jakobov delež ni podoben njihovemu, kajti on je tvorec vseh stvari; in Izrael je palica njegove dediščine. Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
17 Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O thou that dwellest in the strong place.
Zberi svoje blago iz dežele, oh prebivalec iz trdnjave.
18 For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, at this time I will throwe as with a sling the inhabitants of the lande, and will trouble them, and they shall finde it so.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, naenkrat bom izvrgel prebivalce dežele in jih spravil v tegobo, da bodo lahko našli, [da je] to tako.
19 Wo is me for my destruction, and my grieuous plague: but I thought, Yet it is my sorow, and I will beare it.
Gorje mi za mojo poškodbo! Moja rana je boleča. Toda rekel sem: »Resnično, to je žalost in jaz jo moram nositi.
20 My tabernacle is destroyed, and all my coardes are broken: my children are gone from me, and are not: there is none to spread out my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.
Moje šotorsko svetišče je oplenjeno in vse moje vrvi so pretrgane, moji otroci so odšli od mene in jih ni, nikogar ni, da bi še razpenjal moj šotor in da bi postavljal moje zavese.
21 For the Pastours are become beasts, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore haue they none vnderstanding: and all the flockes of their pastures are scattered.
Kajti pastirji so postali brutalni in niso iskali Gospoda, zato ne bodo uspeli in vsi njihovi tropi bodo razkropljeni.
22 Beholde, the noyse of the brute is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.
Glej, hrup objave je prišel in veliko razburjenje iz severne dežele, da bi Judova mesta naredil opustošena in brlog zmajev.
23 O Lord, I knowe, that the way of man is not in himselfe, neyther is it in man to walke and to direct his steps.
Oh Gospod, vem, da človekova pot ni v njem samem, tega ni v človeku, ki hodi, da usmerja svoje korake.
24 O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, least thou bring mee to nothing.
Oh Gospod, grajaj me, toda s sodbo; ne v svoji jezi, da me ne bi privedel v nič.
25 Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen, that knowe thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iaakob and deuoured him and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.
Svojo razjarjenost izlij na pogane, ki te ne poznajo in na družine, ki ne kličejo k tvojemu imenu, kajti pojedli so Jakoba in ga požrli in ga pogoltnili ter njegovo prebivališče naredili zapuščeno.
