< Jeremiah 34 >

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the country ruled by his power, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, ko se je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar, vsa njegova vojska, vsa zemeljska kraljestva njegovega gospostva in vse ljudstvo borilo zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in zoper vsa njena mesta, rekoč:
2 Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Go and speak to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, that he may burn it with fire:
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Pojdi in govori Judovemu kralju Sedekíju in mu povej: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, to mesto bom izročil v roko babilonskega kralja in ta ga bo požgal z ognjem.
3 And thou thyself shalt not escape out of his hand; but thou shalt surely be caught, and be delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and to Babylon shalt thou go.
Ti ne boš pobegnil iz njegove roke, temveč boš zagotovo zajet in izročen v njegovo roko, in tvoje oči bodo gledale oči babilonskega kralja in ta bo govoril s teboj od ust do ust in šel boš v Babilon.‹«
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord respecting thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
Vendar poslušaj besedo od Gospoda, oh Judov kralj Sedekíja: »Tako govori Gospod o tebi: ›Ne boš umrl pod mečem,
5 In peace shalt thou die; and as burnings were made for thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they make burnings for thee; and “Ah lord” shall they lament for thee; for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
temveč boš umrl v miru, in s sežigi [dišav] tvojim očetom, prejšnjim kraljem, ki so bili pred teboj; tako bodo sežgali dišave zate; in oni te bodo objokovali, rekoč: ›Ah, gospod!‹ Kajti jaz sem proglasil besedo, ‹ govori Gospod.«
6 And Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,
Potem je prerok Jeremija vse te besede govoril Judovemu kralju Sedekíju v Jeruzalemu,
7 When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against 'Azekah; for these had been left of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
ko se je vojska babilonskega kralja borila zoper Jeruzalem in zoper vsa Judova mesta, ki so ostala, zoper Lahíš in zoper Azéko, kajti ta obrambna mesta so preostala od Judovih mest.
8 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim among themselves freedom;
To je beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, potem ko je kralj Sedekíja sklenil zavezo z vsem ljudstvom, ki je bilo v Jeruzalemu, da jim razglasi svobodo,
9 That every man should dismiss his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, free; so that no man among them should exact labor of a Jew, his brother.
da naj bi vsak človek pustil svojega sluga in vsak človek svojo deklo, ki je Hebrejec ali Hebrejka, oditi prosto, da naj ne bi bil nihče postrežen od njih, torej od svojega brata Juda.
10 And all the princes had hearkened, with all the people, who had entered into the covenant, that every one should dismiss his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, free, that no one should exact labor of them any more: and they had obeyed, and dismissed them.
Torej ko so vsi princi in vse ljudstvo, ki je vstopilo v zavezo, slišalo, da naj bi vsak pustil svojega sluga in vsakdo svojo deklo oditi prosto, da naj si nihče izmed njih ne pusti več streč od njih, potem so ubogali in jim pustili oditi.
11 But they had turned afterward, and they had brought back the men-servants and the maid-servants whom they had dismissed as free, and had subjected them to become men-servants and maid-servants.
Toda potem so se obrnili nazaj in veleli služabnikom in pomočnicam, ki so jih pustili oditi proste, da se vrnejo in jih privedli v podjarmljenje za služabnike in za pomočnice.
12 And the word of the Lord [then] came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Zato je Gospodova beseda prišla k Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
13 Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, —I myself made a covenant with your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Zavezo sem sklenil z vašimi očeti na dan, ko sem jih izpeljal iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti, rekoč:
14 At the end of seven years shall ye dismiss every man his brother the Hebrew, who may have been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, then shalt thou dismiss him from thee; but your fathers hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear.
›Ob koncu sedmih let pustite oditi vsak mož svojega brata Hebrejca, ki ti je bil prodan; in ko ti je služil šest let, ga boš pustil od sebe oditi prostega.‹ Toda vaši očetje mi niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa.
15 And ye had turned this day, and done what is right in my eyes, to proclaim freedom every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house over which my name is called;
In sedaj ste bili obrnjeni in storili pravilno v mojem pogledu v razglašanju svobode vsak človek svojemu sosedu; in pred menoj ste sklenili zavezo v hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom.
16 But ye have turned again, and profaned my name, and ye have brought back every man his man-servant, and every man his woman-servant, whom ye had dismissed as free at their pleasure, and have subjected them to be unto you for men-servants and for women-servants.
Toda obrnili ste se in oskrunili moje ime in veleli vsak človek svojemu služabniku in vsak mož svoji pomočnici, ki jih ste na njihovo zadovoljstvo spustili na svobodo, da se vrnejo in jih privedli v podjarmljenje, da so vam za služabnike in pomočnice.‹
17 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Ye indeed have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim freedom, every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a freedom over you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.
Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Niste mi prisluhnili v razglašanju svobode, vsak človek svojemu bratu in vsak človek svojemu sosedu. Glejte, razglašam vam svobodo, ‹ govori Gospod, ›meču, kužni bolezni in lakoti, in storil vam bom, da boste odstranjeni v vsa kraljestva zemlje.
18 And I will give up the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they had made before me, at the calf which they cut in twain, and between the parts whereof they passed,
In jaz bom dal ljudi, ki so prestopali mojo zavezo, ki niso izpolnjevali besed zaveze, ki so jo sklenili pred menoj, ko so tele preklali na polovico in šli med njegovima deloma,
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the court-servants, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf;
Judove prince in jeruzalemske prince, evnuhe in duhovnike in vse ljudstvo dežele, ki so šli med deloma teleta;
20 [Yea] I will give them up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.
jaz jih bom celo izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju. Njihova trupla bodo za hrano perjadi neba in zemeljskim živalim.
21 And Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes will I give up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, that are [now] gone away from you.
Judovega kralja Sedekíja in njegove prince bom izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju in v roko kralja babilonske vojske, ki so šli gor od vas.
22 Behold, I will command, speaketh the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city; and they shall fight against it, and capture it, and burn it with fire: and the cities of Judah will I make a desert without an inhabitant.
Glej, zapovedal bom, ‹ govori Gospod ›in jim povzročil, da se vrnejo k temu mestu; in bojevali se bodo zoper njega, ga zavzeli in ga požgali z ognjem in jaz bom Judova mesta naredil opustošenje brez prebivalca.‹«
