< Jeremiah 42 >

1 Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,
Potem so se vsi poveljniki sil, Karéahov sin Johanán, Hošajájev sin Jaazanjá in vse ljudstvo, od najmanjših celo do največjih, približali
2 And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)
in rekli preroku Jeremiju: »Rotimo te, naj bo naša ponižna prošnja sprejeta pred teboj in prosi za nas h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, celó za ves ta preostanek; (kajti nas je ostalo samo malo od mnogih, kakor nas tvoje oči gledajo),
3 That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.
da nam Gospod, tvoj Bog, lahko pokaže pot, po kateri lahko hodimo in stvar, ki jo lahko delamo.«
4 Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.
Potem jim je prerok Jeremija rekel: »Slišal sem vas. Glejte, molil bom za vas h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, glede vaših besed, in zgodilo se bo, da katerokoli stvar vam bo Gospod odgovoril, vam bom to oznanil. Ničesar ne bom zadržal pred vami.«
5 Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.
Potem so rekli Jeremiju: » Gospod bodi resnična in zvesta priča med nami, če ne storimo celo glede vseh stvari, zaradi katerih te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, poslal k nam.
6 Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.
Bodisi je to dobro ali če je to zlo, ubogali bomo glas Gospoda, svojega Boga, h kateremu smo te poslali, da bo lahko dobro z nami, ko ubogamo glas Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
7 And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.
Po desetih dneh se je pripetilo, da je beseda od Gospoda prišla k Jeremiju.
8 Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,
Potem je poklical Karéahovega sina Johanána in vse poveljnike sil, ki so bili z njim in vse ljudstvo, od najmanjšega, celo do največjega
9 And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,
in jim rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, h kateremu ste me poslali, da pred njim predložim vašo ponižno prošnjo:
10 If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.
›Če boste mirno ostali v tej deželi, potem vas bom gradil in vas ne bom podiral, sadil vas bom in vas ne bom ruval, kajti pokesal sem se zla, ki sem vam ga storil.
11 Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,
Ne bojte se babilonskega kralja, ki se ga bojite. Ne bojte se ga, ‹ govori Gospod. ›kajti jaz sem z vami, da vas rešim in da vas osvobodim iz njegove roke.
12 And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.
Pokazal vam bom usmiljenja, da bo lahko imel usmiljenje nad vami in vam povzroči, da se vrnete k svoji lastni deželi.
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,
Toda če rečete: ›Ne bomo prebivali v tej deželi niti ne bomo ubogali glasu Gospoda, tvojega Boga,
14 Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,
rekoč: ›Ne, temveč bomo šli v egiptovsko deželo, kjer ne bomo videli nobene vojne niti slišali zvoka šofarja niti ne imeli lakote kruha in bomo tam prebivali.‹‹
15 (And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)
Sedaj torej poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi, Judov ostanek: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Če v celoti naravnate svoje obraze, da vstopite v Egipt in greste, da začasno prebivate tam,
16 Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.
potem se bo zgodilo, da vas bo meč, ki ste se ga bali, tam, v egiptovski deželi, dohitel in lakota, ki ste se je bali, bo tesno sledila za vami tja v Egipt, in tam boste umrli.
17 And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.
Tako bo z vsemi ljudmi, ki bodo svoje obraze naravnali, da gredo v Egipt, da začasno prebivajo tam. Umrli bodo pod mečem, od lakote, od kužne bolezni in nihče izmed njih ne bo preostal ali pobegnil pred zlom, ki ga bom privedel nadnje.‹
18 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Kakor je bila moja jeza in moja razjarjenost izlita nad prebivalce Jeruzalema, tako bo moja razjarjenost izlita nad vas, ko boste vstopili v Egipt, in vi boste preziranje, osuplost, prekletstvo in graja; in ne boste več videli tega kraja.‹«
19 O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.
Gospod je glede vas rekel: »Oh vi, Judov preostanek: ›Ne pojdite v Egipt. Zagotovo vedite, da sem vas ta dan opomnil.
20 Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.
Kajti pretvarjali ste se v svojih srcih, ko ste me poslali h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, rekoč: ›Moli za nas h Gospodu, našemu Bogu in glede na vse to, kar ti bo Gospod, naš Bog, rekel, tako nam razglasi in bomo to storili.‹
21 Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.
Sedaj sem vam ta dan to razglasil, toda vi niste ubogali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti nobene stvari, za katero me je poslal k vam.
22 Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.
Zdaj torej zagotovo vedite, da boste umrli pod mečem, od lakote in od kužne bolezni na kraju, kamor želite iti in začasno prebivati.«
