< Jeremiah 8 >

1 At that time, sayeth the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the Kings of Iudah, and the bones of their princes, and the bones of the Priests and the bones of the Prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Ierusalem out of their graues.
»Ob tistem času, « govori Gospod, »bodo prinesli iz njihovih grobov kosti Judovega kralja, kosti njegovih princev, kosti duhovnikov, kosti prerokov in kosti prebivalcev [prestolnice] Jeruzalem
2 And they shall spread them before the sunne and the moone, and all the host of heauen, whom they haue loued, and whome they haue serued, and whome they haue followed, and whome they haue sought, and whome they haue worshipped: they shall not be gathered nor be buried, but shall be as doung vpon the earth.
in raztrosili jih bodo pred soncem, luno in vso vojsko neba, ki so jih ljubili, ki so jim služili, za katerimi so hodili, ki so jih iskali in ki so jih oboževali; ne bodo zbrane niti pokopane, le-te bodo za gnoj na obličju zemlje.
3 And death shall bee desired rather then life of all the residue that remaineth of this wicked familie, which remaine in all the places where I haue scattered them, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Ves preostanek tistih, ki ostanejo od te zlobne družine, ki ostanejo v vseh krajih, kamor sem jih pognal, bodo raje izbrali smrt kakor življenje, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 Thou shalt say vnto them also, Thus sayeth the Lord, Shall they fall and not arise? shall he turne away and not turne againe?
Poleg tega jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali bodo padli in ne vstali? Ali se bo obrnil proč in ne vrnil?
5 Wherefore is this people of Ierusalem turned backe by a perpetuall rebellion? they gaue themselues to deceit, and would not returne.

6 I hearkened and heard, but none spake aright: no man repented him of his wickednesse, saying, What haue I done? euery one turned to their race, as the horse rusheth into the battell.
Prisluhnil sem in slišal, toda niso pravilno govorili. Noben človek se ni pokesal od svoje zlobnosti, rekoč: ›Kaj sem storil?‹ Vsak se je obrnil k svoji smeri, kakor konj hiti v bitko.
7 Euen the storke in the aire knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle and the crane and the swallowe obserue the time of their comming, but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lord.
Da, štorklja na nebu pozna svoje določene čase, grlica, žerjav in lastovka obeležujejo čas svojega prihajanja, toda moje ljudstvo ne pozna Gospodove sodbe.
8 Howe doe yee say, Wee are wise, and the Lawe of the Lord is with vs? Loe, certeinly in vaine made hee it, the penne of the scribes is in vaine.
Kako pravite: ›Modri smo in z nami je Gospodova postava?‹ Glej, zagotovo jo je on naredil zaman, pisalo pisarjev je zaman.
9 The wise men are ashamed: they are afraid and taken. loe, they haue reiected the word of the Lord, and what wisdome is in them?
Modri možje so osramočeni, zaprepadeni in ujeti. Glej, zavrnili so Gospodovo besedo in kakšna modrost je v njih?
10 Therefore will I giue their wiues vnto others, and their fieldes to them that shall possesse them: for euery one from the least euen vnto the greatest is giuen to couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, euery one dealeth falsely.
Zato bom njihove žene dal drugim in njihova polja tistim, ki jih bodo podedovali. Kajti vsak, od najmanjšega celo do največjega, se nagiba k pohlepu, od preroka celo do duhovnika, vsak postopa napačno.
11 For they haue healed the hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore shall they fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayeth the Lord.
Mar so bili osramočeni, ko so zagrešili ogabnost? Ne, sploh niso bili osramočeni niti niso mogli zardeti. Zato bodo padli med tistimi, ki padajo. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo vrženi dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
13 I wil surely consume them, sayth the Lord: there shalbe no grapes on the vine, nor figges on the figtree, and the leafe shall fade, and the things that I haue giuen them, shall depart from them.
›Zagotovo jih bom použil, ‹ govori Gospod: › tam ne bo grozdja na trti niti fig na figovem drevesu in list bo ovenel; in stvari, ki sem jim jih dal, bodo šle proč od njih.‹«
14 Why doe we stay? assemble your selues, and let vs enter into the strong cities, and let vs be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put vs to silence and giuen vs water with gall to drinke, because we haue sinned against the Lord.
Zakaj mirno sedimo? Zberite se in dajmo, vstopimo v obrambna mesta in tam bodimo tiho, kajti Gospod, naš Bog, nas je položil v molk in nam dal za piti vodo iz žolča, ker smo grešili zoper Gospoda.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
Iskali smo mir, toda nič dobrega ni prišlo, in na čas zdravja, pa glej težava!
16 The neying of his horses was heard from Dan, the whole lande trembled at the noyse of the neying of his strong horses: for they are come, and haue deuoured the land with all that is in it, the citie, and those that dwell therein.
»Prhanje njihovih konj je bilo slišati od Dana. Celotna zemlja je trepetala ob zvoku rezgetanja njegovih močnih, kajti prišli so in požrli deželo in vse, kar je v njej; mesto in tiste, ki prebivajo v njem.
17 For beholde, I will sende serpents, and cockatrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall sting you, sayth the Lord.
Kajti glejte, jaz bom med vas poslal kače, strupene kače, ki ne bodo očarane in te vas bodo pikale, « govori Gospod.

19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people for feare of them of a farre countrey, Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why haue they prouoked mee to anger with their grauen images, and with the vanities of a strange god?
Glej, glas vpitja hčere mojega ljudstva zaradi tistih, ki prebivajo v daljni deželi: › Mar ni Gospoda na Sionu? Ali ni njen kralj v njej?‹ Zakaj so me do jeze dražili s svojimi rezanimi podobami in s tujimi ničevostmi?
20 The haruest is past, the sommer is ended, and we are not holpen.
Žetev je mimo, poletje je končano, mi pa nismo rešeni.
21 I am sore vexed for the hurt of ye daughter of my people: I am heauie, and astonishment hath taken me.
Zaradi zloma hčere mojega ljudstva sem zlomljen, črn sem, osuplost se me je polastila.
22 Is there no balme at Gilead? is there no Physition there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recouered.
Mar ni balzama v Gileádu, ali tam ni nobenega zdravnika? Zakaj potem zdravje hčere mojega ljudstva ni povrnjeno?
