Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
»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 sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of 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 be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?
Poleg tega jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali bodo padli in ne vstali? Ali se bo obrnil proč in ne vrnil?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Zakaj je potem to ljudstvo iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem zdrknilo nazaj z neprestanim odpadom? Trdno se držijo prevare, zavračajo, da bi se vrnili.
6 I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
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 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance 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 How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.
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 dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom 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 give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every 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 And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
12 They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith 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 will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.
›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 do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have 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 healing, and behold terror!'
Iskali smo mir, toda nič dobrega ni prišlo, in na čas zdravja, pa glej težava!
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city 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, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
Kajti glejte, jaz bom med vas poslal kače, strupene kače, ki ne bodo očarane in te vas bodo pikale, « govori Gospod.
18 Though I would take comfort against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
Ko bi se želel tolažiti zoper bridkost, je moje srce oslabelo v meni.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far off: 'Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?' — 'Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, and with strange vanities?' —
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 harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
Žetev je mimo, poletje je končano, mi pa nismo rešeni.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I seized with anguish; I am black, appalment hath taken hold on me.
Zaradi zloma hčere mojega ljudstva sem zlomljen, črn sem, osuplost se me je polastila.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Mar ni balzama v Gileádu, ali tam ni nobenega zdravnika? Zakaj potem zdravje hčere mojega ljudstva ni povrnjeno?
