Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,
Beseda, ki je prišla k Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
2 Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
»Poslušaj besede te zaveze in govori možem iz Juda in prebivalcem [prestolnice] Jeruzalem
3 And say you to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant,
in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Preklet bodi mož, ki ne uboga besed te zaveze,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God:
ki sem jo zapovedal vašim očetom na dan, ko sem jih izpeljal iz egiptovske dežele, iz železne talilne peči, rekoč: ›Ubogajte moj glas in jih izvršujte, glede na vse, kar vam zapovedujem. Tako boste moje ljudstvo in jaz bom vaš Bog,
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
da bom lahko izpolnil prisego, ki sem jo prisegel vašim očetom, da jim dam deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, kakor je to ta dan.‹« Potem sem odgovoril in rekel: »Tako naj bo, oh Gospod.«
6 Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them.
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Razglasi vse te besede po Judovih mestih in ulicah Jeruzalema, rekoč: ›Poslušajte besede te zaveze in jih izpolnjujte.
7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Kajti iskreno sem izpričal vašim očetom na dan, ko sem jih privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, celó do današnjega dne, [jih] zgodaj vzdigoval in izjavljal, rekoč: ›Ubogajte moj glas.‹
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
Vendar niso ubogali niti nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so vsi hodili v zamisli svojega zlega srca. Zato bom nanje privedel vse besede te zaveze, ki sem jim jo zapovedal izpolnjevati, toda oni jih niso izpolnjevali.
9 And the LORD said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Gospod mi je rekel: »Zarota je najdena med Judovimi možmi in med prebivalci Jeruzalema.
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Obrnili so se nazaj h krivičnostim svojih pradedov, ki so odklanjali poslušati moje besede; in šli za drugimi bogovi, da jim služijo. Izraelova hiša in Judova hiša sta prelomili mojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njihovimi očeti.
11 Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I will not listen to them.
Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, nanje bom privedel zlo, ki mu ne bodo mogli pobegniti. Čeprav bodo klicali k meni, jim ne bom prisluhnil.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Potem bodo Judova mesta in prebivalci Jeruzalema šli in klicali k bogovom, katerim darujejo kadilo. Toda sploh jih ne bodo rešili v času njihove stiske.
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.
Kajti glede na število tvojih mest so bili tvoji bogovi, oh Juda; in glede na število ulic [prestolnice] Jeruzalem ste postavili oltarje tisti sramotni stvari, celó oltarje, da zažigate kadilo Báalu.
14 Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me for their trouble.
Zatorej ne moli za to ljudstvo niti ne povzdiguj vpitja ali molitve zanje, kajti jaz jih ne bom poslušal ob času, ko zaradi svoje stiske vpijejo k meni.
15 What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
Kaj ima moj ljubljeni za početi v moji hiši, ko vidi, da je ona izvrševala nespodobnost s številnimi in je sveto meso odšlo od tebe? Ko počneš zlo, potem se razveseljuješ.
16 The LORD called your name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and the branches of it are broken.
Gospod je tvoje ime imenoval: ›Zelena oljka, čeden in lep sad.‹ Z zvokom velikega hrupa je na njej vžgal ogenj in njene mladike so polomljene.
17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal.
Kajti Gospod nad bojevniki, ki te je zasadil, je zoper tebe proglasil zlo, zaradi zla Izraelove hiše in Judove hiše, ki so ga storili zoper sebe, da bi me dražili do jeze v darovanju kadila Báalu.
18 And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
Gospod mi je dal spoznanje o tem in jaz sem to spoznal; takrat si mi kazal njihova dejanja.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Toda jaz sem bil podoben jagnjetu ali volu, ki je priveden h klanju in nisem vedel, da so zoper mene snovali naklepe, rekoč: »Uničimo drevo skupaj z njegovim sadom in odsekajmo ga iz dežele živih, da se njegovega imena ne bo več spominjalo.«
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judge righteously, that try the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for to you have I revealed my cause.
Toda, oh Gospod nad bojevniki, ki sodiš pravično, ki preizkušaš notranjost in srce, naj vidim tvoje maščevanje na njih, kajti tebi sem razodel svoj primer.
21 Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that you die not by our hand:
»Zato tako govori Gospod o možeh iz Anatóta, ki ti strežejo po življenju, rekoč: ›Ne prerokuj v Gospodovem imenu, da ne umreš po naši roki.‹
22 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, kaznoval jih bom; mladenič bo umrl pod mečem, njihovi sinovi in njihove hčere bodo umrli od lakote.
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Tam ne bo nobenega ostanka izmed njih, kajti nad ljudi iz Anatóta bom privedel zlo, celó leto njihovega obiskanja.‹«
