Jeremiah 13
1 Thus said the LORD unto me: 'Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.'
Tako mi govori Gospod: »Pojdi in si priskrbi lanen pas in ga daj na svoja ledja, v vodo pa ga ne daj.«
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it upon my loins.
Tako sem dobil pas glede na Gospodovo besedo in si ga nadel na ledja.
3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying:
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč:
4 'Take the girdle that thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.'
»Vzemi pas, ki si ga dobil, ki je na tvojih ledjih in vstani, pojdi k Evfratu in ga tam skrij v skalno luknjo.«
5 So I went, and hid it in Perath, as the LORD commanded me.
Tako sem odšel in ga skril pri Evfratu, kakor mi je Gospod zapovedal.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me: 'Arise, go to Perath, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.'
Po mnogih dneh se je pripetilo, da mi je Gospod rekel: »Vstani, pojdi k Evfratu in vzemi od tam pas, ki sem ti ga tam zapovedal skriti.«
7 Then I went to Perath, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Potem sem odšel k Evfratu in kopál ter vzel pas iz kraja, kjer sem ga skril. Glej, pas je bil iznakažen, ni bil koristen za nič.
8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
9 Thus saith the LORD: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem,
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Na ta način bom oškodoval Judov ponos in velik ponos Jeruzalema.
10 even this evil people, that refuse to hear My words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, that it be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.
To zlo ljudstvo, ki zavrača poslušati moje besede, ki hodijo v zamisli svojega srca in hodijo za drugimi bogovi, da jim služijo in da jih obožujejo, bodo torej kakor ta pas, ki ni dober za nič.
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD, that they might be unto Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hearken.
Kajti kakor se pas trdno drži moževih ledij, tako sem storil, da se me trdno drži celotna Izraelova hiša in celotna Judova hiša, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da mi bodo lahko za ljudstvo, za ime, za hvalo in za slavo. Toda nočejo slišati.
12 Moreover thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Every bottle is filled with wine'; and when they shall say unto thee: 'Do we not know that every bottle is filled with wine?'
Zato jim boš govoril to besedo: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Vsak meh bo napolnjen z vinom.‹ Rekli ti bodo: ›Mar ne vemo zagotovo, da bo vsak meh napolnjen z vinom?‹
13 Then shalt thou say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Potem jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, s pijanostjo bom napolnil vse prebivalce te dežele, celo kralje, ki sedijo na Davidovem prestolu, duhovnike, preroke in vse prebivalce [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.
Treščil jih bom enega ob drugega, celo očete in sinove skupaj, ‹ govori Gospod. ›Ne bom se usmilil niti prizanašal niti imel usmiljenja, temveč jih uničim.‹«
15 Hear ye, and give ear, be not proud; for the LORD hath spoken.
Poslušajte in pazljivo prisluhnite. Ne bodite ponosni, kajti Gospod je govoril.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before it grow dark, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight, and, while ye look for light, He turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Dajte slavo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, preden povzroči temo in preden se vaša stopala spotaknejo na temnih gorah in medtem ko gledate za svetlobo, jo obrne v smrtno senco in jo naredi [za] veliko temo.
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.
Toda če tega ne boste poslušali, bo moja duša jokala na skrivnih krajih zaradi vašega ponosa. Moje oko bo hudo jokalo in teklo s solzami, ker je bil Gospodov trop ujet odveden.
18 Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother: 'Sit ye down low; for your headtires are come down, even your beautiful crown.'
»Reci kralju in kraljici: ›Ponižajta se, usedita se, kajti vajine kneževine bodo propadle, celó krona vajine slave.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them; Judah is carried away captive all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.
Južna mesta bodo zaprta in nihče jih ne bo odprl. Ves Juda bo odveden v ujetništvo, v celoti bo odveden v ujetništvo.‹
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Povzdigni svoje oči in poglej tiste, ki prihajajo iz severa. Kje je trop, ki ti je bil dan, tvoj krasen trop?
21 What wilt thou say, when He shall set the friends over thee as head, whom thou thyself hast trained against thee? Shall not pangs take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
Kaj boš rekla, ko te bo kaznoval? Kajti učila si jih, da so poveljniki in kakor vodja nad teboj. Ali te ne bodo zajele bolesti kakor žensko v porodnih mukah?
22 And if thou say in thy heart: 'Wherefore are these things befallen me?' — for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.
Če rečeš v svojem srcu: ›Zakaj so prišle nadme te stvari?‹ Zaradi veličine tvoje krivičnosti so odkriti krajci tvojih oblačil in tvoje pete so razgaljene.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Mar lahko Etiopijec spremeni svojo kožo ali leopard svoje lise? Potem bi lahko tudi vi delali dobro, ki ste navajeni, da delate zlo.
24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
Zato jih bom razkropil kakor strnišče, ki ga odnaša veter iz divjine.
25 This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from Me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten Me, and trusted in falsehood.
To je tvoj žreb, delež tvojih zmožnosti od mene, ‹ govori Gospod; ›ker si me pozabila in zaupala v neresnico.
26 Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.
Zato bom odkril krajce tvojih oblačil nad tvojim obrazom, da se lahko prikaže tvoja sramota.
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy harlotry, on the hills in the field have I seen thy detestable acts. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean! When shall it ever be?
Videl sem tvoja zakonolomstva in tvoja rezgetanja, nespodobnost tvojega vlačugarstva in tvoje ogabnosti na hribih polj. Gorje ti, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem! Mar ne boš očiščena? Kdaj bo to enkrat prišlo?‹«
