Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be vnto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheepe of my pasture, saith the Lord.
»›Gorje pastirjem, ki uničujejo in razganjajo ovce mojega pašnika!‹ govori Gospod.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel vnto the pastors that feede my people, Yee haue scattered my flock and thrust them out, and haue not visited them: beholde, I will visite you for the wickednesse of your works, saith the Lord.
Zato tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, zoper pastirje, ki pasejo moje ljudstvo: ›Razkropili ste moj trop in jih odgnali proč in jih niste obiskovali. Glejte, na vas bom obiskal zlo vaših dejanj, ‹ govori Gospod.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my sheepe out of all countreyes, whither I had driuen them, and will bring them againe to their foldes, and they shall growe and encrease.
Zbral bom preostanek svojega tropa iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal in ponovno jih bom privedel k njihovim stajam; in bodo plodne in se množile.
4 And I will set vp shepheardes ouer them, which shall feede them: and they shall dread no more nor be afraide, neither shall any of them be lacking, saith the Lord.
Postavil bom pastirje nad njimi, ki jih bodo pasli, in ne bodo se več bale niti bile prestrašene niti ne bodo trpele pomanjkanja, ‹ govori Gospod.
5 Behold, The dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will raise vnto Dauid a righteous branche, and a King shall reigne, and prosper, and shall execute iudgement, and iustice in the earth.
›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod ›ko bom Davidu vzdignil pravično Mladiko in Kralj bo vladal in uspeval in na zemlji bo izvajal sodbo in pravico.
6 In his dayes Iudah shalbe saued, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the Name wherby they shall call him, The Lord our righteousnesse.
V njegovih dneh bo Juda rešen in Izrael bo varno prebival. To je njegovo ime, s katerim bo imenovan: GOSPOD, NAŠA PRAVIČNOST.
7 Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the lande of Egypt,
Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko ne bodo več rekli: › Gospod živi, ki je Izraelove otroke privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
8 But the Lord liueth, which brought vp and led the seede of the house of Israel out of the North countrey and from all countryes where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their owne lande.
temveč › Gospod živi, ki jih je privedel gor in ki je vodil seme Izraelove hiše iz severne dežele in iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal; in prebivali bodo v svoji lastni deželi.‹«
9 Mine heart breaketh within mee, because of the prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whome wine hath ouercome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holie wordes.
Moje srce znotraj mene je zlomljeno zaradi prerokov, vse moje kosti se tresejo. Podoben sem pijanemu človeku in podoben človeku, ki ga je vino premagalo, zaradi Gospoda in zaradi besed njegove svetosti.
10 For the lande is full of adulterers, and because of othes the lande mourneth, the pleasant places of the wildernesse are dried vp, and their course is euill, and their force is not right.
»Kajti dežela je polna zakonolomcev, kajti zaradi priseganja dežela žaluje. Prijetni kraji divjine so se posušili in njihova smer je zlo in njihova moč ni prava.
11 For both the prophet and the Priest doe wickedly: and their wickednesse haue I found in mine House, saith the Lord.
Kajti tako prerok kakor duhovnik sta oskrunjena; da, v svoji hiši sem našel njuno zlobnost, « govori Gospod.
12 Wherefore their way shalbe vnto them as slipperie wayes in the darknesse: they shalbe driuen foorth and fall therein: for I will bring a plague vpon them, euen the yeere of their visitation, saith the Lord.
Zato jim bo njihova pot kakor spolzke poti v temi, pognani bodo naprej in padli na njej, kajti zlo bom privedel nadnje, celó leto njihovega obiskanja, « govori Gospod.
13 And I haue seene foolishnesse in the prophets of Samaria, that prophecied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to erre.
Videl sem nespametnost pri samarijskih prerokih. Prerokovali so pri Báalu in mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu povzročili, da zaide na kriva pota.
14 I haue seene also in the prophets of Ierusalem filthines: they commit adulterie and walke in lies: they strengthen also the hands of the wicked that none can returne from his wickednesse: they are all vnto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorah.
Tudi pri jeruzalemskih prerokih sem videl strašno stvar: zagrešujejo zakonolomstvo in hodijo v lažeh. Prav tako krepijo roke hudodelcem, da se nihče ne vrne od svoje zlobnosti. Vsi so mi kakor Sódoma in njeni prebivalci kakor Gomóra.«
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes concerning the prophets, Beholde, I will feede them with wormewood, and make them drinke the water of gall: for from the prophets of Ierusalem is wickednesse gone forth into all the lande.
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki glede prerokov: »Glej, hranil jih bom s pelinom in jih pripravil piti vodo iz žolča, kajti od jeruzalemskih prerokov je izšla oskrunjenost po vsej deželi.«
16 Thus sayth ye Lord of hosts, Heare not the wordes of the prophets that prophecie vnto you, and teach you vanitie: they speake the vision of their owne heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Ne poslušajte besed prerokov, ki vam prerokujejo. Delajo vas domišljave, govorijo videnje iz svojega lastnega srca in ne iz Gospodovih ust.
17 They say still vnto them that despise mee, The Lord hath sayde, Ye shall haue peace: and they say vnto euery one that walketh after the stubbernesse of his owne heart, No euill shall come vpon you.
Tem, ki me prezirajo, nenehno pravijo: ›GOSPOD je rekel: ›Imeli boste mir; ‹‹ in vsakomur, ki hodi po zamisli svojega lastnega srca, pravijo: ›Nobeno zlo ne bo prišlo nad vas.«
18 For who hath stand in the counsel of the Lord that he hath perceiued and heard his word? Who hath marked his worde and heard it?
Kajti kdo je stal na posvetovanju pri Gospodu in zaznal ter slišal njegovo besedo? Kdo je opazil njegovo besedo in jo slišal?
19 Beholde, the tempest of the Lord goeth forth in his wrath, and a violent whirlewinde shall fall downe vpon the head of the wicked.
Glej, vrtinčast veter od Gospoda je v razjarjenosti šel naprej, celo bridek vrtinčast veter; ta bo bridko padel na glavo zlobnih.
20 The anger of the Lord shall not returne vntill he haue executed, and till he haue perfourmed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter dayes ye shall vnderstande it plainely.
Jeza od Gospoda se ne bo vrnila, dokler ne izvrši in dokler ne izvede misli njegovega srca. V zadnjih dneh boste to popolno preudarili.
21 I haue not sent these prophets, sayth the Lord, yet they ranne; I haue not spoken to them, and yet they prophecied.
Teh prerokov nisem pošiljal, vendar tečejo; nisem jim govoril, vendar so prerokovali.
22 But if they had stande in my counsell, and had declared my words to my people, then they should haue turned them from their euill way, and from the wickednesse of their inuentions.
Toda če bi stali na mojem posvetu in storili mojemu ljudstvu, da sliši moje besede, potem bi jih obrnili iz njihovih zlih poti in od zla njihovih početij.
23 Am I a God at hande, saith the Lord, and not a God farre off?
Ali sem jaz Bog pri roki, « govori Gospod »in ne Bog daleč proč?
24 Can any hide him selfe in secrete places, that I shall not see him, sayth the Lord? Do not I fill heauen and earth, saieth the Lord?
Ali se lahko kdo skrije na skrivnih krajih, da bi ga jaz ne videl?« govori Gospod. »Mar ne napolnjujem neba in zemlje?« govori Gospod.
25 I haue heard what the prophets said, that prophecie lies in my Name, saying, I haue dreamed, I haue dreamed.
»Slišal sem kaj so rekli preroki, ki v mojem imenu prerokujejo laži, rekoč: ›Sanjalo se mi je, sanjalo se mi je.‹
26 Howe long? Doe the prophets delite to prophecie lies, euen prophecying the deceit of their owne heart?
Doklej bo to v srcu prerokov, ki prerokujejo laži? Da, oni so preroki prevare svojega lastnega srca;
27 Thinke they to cause my people to forget my Name by their dreames, which they tell euery man to his neyghbour, as their forefathers haue forgotten my Name for Baal?
ki mislijo, da bi mojemu ljudstvu povzročili, da pozabi moje ime s svojimi sanjami, ki jih oni govorijo vsak mož svojemu sosedu, kakor so njihovi očetje pozabili moje ime zaradi Báala.
28 The prophet that hath a dreame, let him tell a dreame, and hee that hath my worde, let him speake my worde faithfully: what is the chaffe to the wheate, sayth the Lord?
Prerok, ki ima sanje, naj ta pripoveduje sanje in kdor ima mojo besedo, naj zvesto govori mojo besedo. Kaj je plevel v primerjavi s pšenico?« govori Gospod.
29 Is not my word euen like a fire, sayeth the Lord? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?
» Mar ni moja beseda kakor ogenj?« govori Gospod, »in kakor kladivo, ki razbija skalo na koščke?
30 Therefore beholde, I will come against the prophets, saieth the Lord, that steale my word euerie one from his neighbour.
Zato glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki kradejo moje besede, vsakdo od svojega soseda.
31 Beholde, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, which haue sweete tongues, and say, He saith.
Glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki uporabljajo svoje jezike in govorijo: ›On pravi.‹
32 Beholde, I will come against them that prophecie false dreames, saith the Lord, and doe tell them, and cause my people to erre by their lies, and by their flatteries, and I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they bring no profite vnto this people, saith the Lord.
Glej, jaz sem zoper tiste, ki prerokujejo lažne sanje, « govori Gospod » in jih pripovedujejo in mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da s svojimi lažmi in s svojo lahkomiselnostjo zaide s svojih poti, vendar jih nisem jaz poslal niti jim zapovedal, zato sploh ne bodo koristili temu ljudstvu, « govori Gospod.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a Priest shall aske thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say vnto them, What burden? I will euen forsake you, saith the Lord.
»In ko te bo to ljudstvo ali prerok ali duhovnik, vprašalo, rekoč: ›Kaj je breme od Gospoda?‹ jim boš potem rekel: ›Kakšno breme? Jaz vas bom celo zapustil, ‹« govori Gospod.
34 And the prophet, or the Priest, or the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will euen visite euerie such one, and his house.
»In kar se tiče preroka, duhovnika in ljudstva, ki bodo rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda, ‹ jaz bom celo kaznoval tistega moža in njegovo hišo.
35 Thus shall yee say euery one to his neighbour, and euerie one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Tako boste govorili vsak svojemu sosedu in vsak svojemu bratu: ›Kaj je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je Gospod govoril?‹
36 And the burden of the Lord shall yee mention no more: for euery mans worde shall bee his burden: for ye haue peruerted the words of the liuing God, the Lord of hostes our God.
Gospodovega bremena pa ne boste več omenjali, kajti vsakogar beseda bo njegovo breme, kajti sprevračali ste besede živega Boga, Gospoda nad bojevniki, našega Boga.
37 Thus shalt thou say to the Prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Tako boš govoril preroku: ›Kaj ti je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je rekel Gospod?‹
38 And if you say, The burden of the Lord, Then thus saith the Lord, Because yee say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I haue sent vnto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord,
Toda ker pravite: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹« zato tako govori Gospod, »Ker pravite to besedo: ›Breme od Gospoda ‹ in sem jaz poslal k vam, rekoč: ›Ne boste rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹‹
39 Therefore beholde, I, euen I will vtterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the citie that I gaue you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence,
zato glejte, jaz, celo jaz, vas bom popolnoma pozabil in zapustil vas in mesto, ki sem ga dal vam in vašim očetom in vas vrgel iz svoje prisotnosti,
40 And will bring an euerlasting reproche vpon you, and a perpetual shame which shall neuer be forgotten.
in nad vas bom privedel večno grajo in neprestano sramoto, ki ne bo pozabljena.«
