Jeremiah 4
1 O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.
»Če se hočeš vrniti, oh Izrael, « govori Gospod, »se vrni k meni. Če hočeš odstraniti svoje ogabnosti izpred mojega pogleda, potem ne boš odtaval.
2 And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth in trueth, in iudgement, and in righteousnesse, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glorie in him.
Prisegel boš: › Gospod živi v resnici in sodbi in v pravičnosti‹« in narodi se bodo blagoslavljali v njem in v njem bodo slavili.
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
Kajti tako govori Gospod Judovim možem in Jeruzalemu: »Pobranajte svoja neposejana tla in ne sejte med trnjem.
4 Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.
Obrežite se Gospodu in odstranite prednje kožice svojega srca, vi, Judovi možje in prebivalci Jeruzalema, da ne bi moja razjarjenost prišla kakor ogenj in tako požgala, da nihče ne more pogasiti – zaradi hudobije vaših ravnanj.
5 Declare in Iudah, and shewe forth in Ierusalem, and say, Blowe the trumpet in the lande: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into strong cities.
Razglasite v Judu in objavite v [prestolnici] Jeruzalem in recite: ›Zatrobite na šofar v deželi.‹ Kličite, zberite se skupaj in recite: ›Zberite se skupaj in pojdimo v obrambna mesta.‹
6 Set vp the standart in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
Postavite prapor proti Sionu. Umaknite se, ne ostanite, kajti jaz bom privedel hudo iz severa in veliko uničenje.
7 The lyon is come vp from his denne, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shalbe destroyed without an inhabitant.
Lev je prišel iz svoje goščave in uničevalec poganov je na svoji poti; odšel je iz svojega kraja, da tvojo deželo naredi zapuščeno in tvoja mesta bodo opustošena, brez prebivalca.
8 Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
Zaradi tega se opašite z vrečevino, žalujte in tulite, kajti kruta Gospodova jeza ni odvrnjena od nas.
9 And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priestes shall be astonished, and the Prophets shall wonder.
Zgodilo se bo na ta dan, « govori Gospod, » da bo srce kralja in srce princev oslabelo in duhovniki bodo osupli in preroki se bodo spraševali.«
10 Then saide I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, and the sworde perceth vnto the heart.
Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Zagotovo si zelo prevaral to ljudstvo in Jeruzalem, rekoč: ›Imeli boste mir, ‹ medtem ko meč sega do duše.«
11 At that time shall it bee saide to this people and to Ierusalem, A dry winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth towarde ye daughter of my people, but neither to fanne nor to clense.
Ob tistem času bo rečeno temu ljudstvu in [prestolnici] Jeruzalem: »Suh veter visokih krajev v divjini proti hčeri mojega ljudstva, ne da preveja niti da očisti,
12 A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
celó poln veter iz tistih krajev bo prišel k meni. Sedaj bom tudi jaz izrekel obsodbo zoper njih.«
13 Beholde, he shall come vp as the cloudes, and his charets shalbe as a tempest: his horses are lighter then eagles. Woe vnto vs, for wee are destroyed.
Glej, prišel bo gor kakor oblaki in njegovi bojni vozovi bodo kakor vrtinčast veter. Njegovi konji so bolj nagli kakor orli. Gorje nam! Kajti oplenjeni smo.
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
»Oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, umij svoje srce pred zlobnostjo, da boš lahko rešena. Doklej bodo tvoje prazne misli prenočevale znotraj tebe?
15 For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Kajti glas razglaša od Dana in objavlja stisko od gore Efrájim.
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Ierusalem, Beholde, the skoutes come from a farre countrey, and crie out against the cities of Iudah.
Dajte omenjati narodom, glejte, objavite zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem, da stražarji prihajajo iz daljne dežele in objavite njihov glas zoper Judova mesta.
17 They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
Kakor čuvaji polja so oni zoper njo vsenaokrog, zato ker je bila uporna zoper mene, « govori Gospod.
18 Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these things, such is thy wickednesse: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall perce vnto thine heart.
»Tvoja pot in tvoja početja so ti povzročila te stvari; to je tvoja zlobnost, ker je ta grenka, ker ta sega v tvoje srce.
19 My bely, my bely, I am pained, euen at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soule hath heard the sounde of the trumpet, and the alarme of the battell.
Moja notranjost, moja notranjost! Zaskrbljen sem prav v svojem srcu; moje srce dela v meni hrup; ne morem ohraniti miru, ker si slišala, oh moja duša, zvok šofarja, alarm vojne.
20 Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
Uničenje na uničenje je razkričano, kajti celotna dežela je oplenjena. Moji šotori so nenadoma oplenjeni in moje zavese v trenutku.
21 Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
Doklej bom videl prapor in slišal zvok šofarja?
22 For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me: they are foolish children, and haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe well they haue no knowledge.
Kajti moje ljudstvo je nespametno, niso me spoznali; neumni otroci so in nobenega razumevanja nimajo. Modri so, da počno hudo, toda za početje dobrega nimajo spoznanja.«
23 I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
Pogledal sem zemljo in glej, ta je bila brez oblike ter prazna; in [na] nebo, pa ni imelo nobene svetlobe.
24 I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
Pogledal sem gore in glej, trepetale so in vsi hribi so se rahlo gibali.
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
Pogledal sem in glej, tam ni bilo nobenega človeka in vse nebeške ptice so odletele.
26 I behelde, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath.
Pogledal sem in glej, rodoviten kraj je bila divjina in vsa njegova mesta so bila zrušena ob Gospodovi prisotnosti in z njegovo kruto jezo.
27 For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
Kajti tako je rekel Gospod: »Celotna dežela bo zapuščena, vendar ne bom naredil popolnega konca.
28 Therefore shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue shall be darkened, because I haue pronounced it: I haue thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.
Zaradi tega bo zemlja žalovala in nebo nad [njo] bo črno. Ker sem to govoril, sem to namenil in se ne bom kesal niti se ne bom obrnil nazaj od tega.«
29 The whole citie shall flee, for the noyse of the horsemen and bowemen: they shall goe into thickets, and clime vp vpon the rockes: euery citie shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Celotno mesto bo pobegnilo zaradi zvoka konjenikov in lokostrelcev; šli bodo v goščave in plezali na skale. Vsako mesto bo zapuščeno in ni človeka, da tam prebiva.
30 And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou doe? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou paintest thy face with colours, yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine: for thy louers will abhorre thee and seeke thy life.
Ko si oplenjena, kaj boš storila? Čeprav se oblačiš s temno rdečo, čeprav se krasiš z ornamenti iz zlata, čeprav si obrobljaš svoj obraz z ličenjem, se boš zaman naredila lepo; tvoji ljubimci te bodo prezirali, stregli ti bodo po življenju.
31 For I haue heard a noyse as of a woman trauailing, or as one labouring of her first child, euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes: woe is me nowe: for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers.
Kajti slišal sem glas ženske kakor v porodnih bolečinah in tesnobo kakor od tiste, ki rojeva svojega prvega otroka, glas sionske hčere, ki se objokuje, ki razširja svoji roki, rekoč: »Gorje mi sedaj! Kajti moja duša je izmučena zaradi morilcev.«
