Jeremiah 4
1 “If you return, O Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, “Return to Me, And if you turn aside Your abominations from My face, Then you do not bemoan.
»Če se hočeš vrniti, oh Izrael, « govori Gospod, »se vrni k meni. Če hočeš odstraniti svoje ogabnosti izpred mojega pogleda, potem ne boš odtaval.
2 And you have sworn—YHWH lives, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And nations have blessed themselves in Him, And they boast themselves in Him.”
Prisegel boš: › Gospod živi v resnici in sodbi in v pravičnosti‹« in narodi se bodo blagoslavljali v njem in v njem bodo slavili.
3 For thus said YHWH, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: “Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow to the thorns.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Judovim možem in Jeruzalemu: »Pobranajte svoja neposejana tla in ne sejte med trnjem.
4 Be circumcised to YHWH, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury goes out as fire, and has burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.”
Obrežite se Gospodu in odstranite prednje kožice svojega srca, vi, Judovi možje in prebivalci Jeruzalema, da ne bi moja razjarjenost prišla kakor ogenj in tako požgala, da nihče ne more pogasiti – zaradi hudobije vaših ravnanj.
5 Declare in Judah, and sound in Jerusalem, and say: “Blow a horn in the land, Call, Fill up together, And say, Assemble yourselves and let us go into the fortified cities.
Razglasite v Judu in objavite v [prestolnici] Jeruzalem in recite: ›Zatrobite na šofar v deželi.‹ Kličite, zberite se skupaj in recite: ›Zberite se skupaj in pojdimo v obrambna mesta.‹
6 Lift up an ensign toward Zion, Strengthen yourselves, do not stand still, For I am bringing evil in from the north, And a great destruction.”
Postavite prapor proti Sionu. Umaknite se, ne ostanite, kajti jaz bom privedel hudo iz severa in veliko uničenje.
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations has journeyed, He has come forth from his place To make your land become a desolation, Your cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.
Lev je prišel iz svoje goščave in uničevalec poganov je na svoji poti; odšel je iz svojega kraja, da tvojo deželo naredi zapuščeno in tvoja mesta bodo opustošena, brez prebivalca.
8 For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of YHWH has not turned back from us.
Zaradi tega se opašite z vrečevino, žalujte in tulite, kajti kruta Gospodova jeza ni odvrnjena od nas.
9 “And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “The heart of the king perishes, And the heart of the princes, And the priests have been astonished, And the prophets wonder.”
Zgodilo se bo na ta dan, « govori Gospod, » da bo srce kralja in srce princev oslabelo in duhovniki bodo osupli in preroki se bodo spraševali.«
10 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, Surely you have entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, Saying, Peace is for you, And a sword has struck to the soul!”
Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Zagotovo si zelo prevaral to ljudstvo in Jeruzalem, rekoč: ›Imeli boste mir, ‹ medtem ko meč sega do duše.«
11 At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: “A dry wind of high places in the wilderness, The way of the daughter of My people (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing),
Ob tistem času bo rečeno temu ljudstvu in [prestolnici] Jeruzalem: »Suh veter visokih krajev v divjini proti hčeri mojega ljudstva, ne da preveja niti da očisti,
12 A full wind from these comes for Me, Now also, I speak judgments with them.”
celó poln veter iz tistih krajev bo prišel k meni. Sedaj bom tudi jaz izrekel obsodbo zoper njih.«
13 “Behold, he comes up as clouds, And his chariots as a windstorm, His horses have been lighter than eagles, Woe to us, for we have been spoiled.”
Glej, prišel bo gor kakor oblaki in njegovi bojni vozovi bodo kakor vrtinčast veter. Njegovi konji so bolj nagli kakor orli. Gorje nam! Kajti oplenjeni smo.
14 Wash evil from your heart, O Jerusalem, That you may be saved, Until when do you lodge in your heart Thoughts of your strength?
»Oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, umij svoje srce pred zlobnostjo, da boš lahko rešena. Doklej bodo tvoje prazne misli prenočevale znotraj tebe?
15 For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from Mount Ephraim:
Kajti glas razglaša od Dana in objavlja stisko od gore Efrájim.
16 “Make mention to the nations, Behold, sound to Jerusalem, Besiegers are coming from the far-off land, And they give forth their voice against cities of Judah.
Dajte omenjati narodom, glejte, objavite zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem, da stražarji prihajajo iz daljne dežele in objavite njihov glas zoper Judova mesta.
17 As the keepers of a field They have been against her all around, For she has been rebellious with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
Kakor čuvaji polja so oni zoper njo vsenaokrog, zato ker je bila uporna zoper mene, « govori Gospod.
18 “Your way and your doings have done these to you, This [is] your distress, for [it is] bitter, For it has struck to your heart.”
»Tvoja pot in tvoja početja so ti povzročila te stvari; to je tvoja zlobnost, ker je ta grenka, ker ta sega v tvoje srce.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [in] the walls of my heart, My heart makes a noise for me, I am not silent, For I have heard the voice of a horn, O my soul—a shout of battle!
Moja notranjost, moja notranjost! Zaskrbljen sem prav v svojem srcu; moje srce dela v meni hrup; ne morem ohraniti miru, ker si slišala, oh moja duša, zvok šofarja, alarm vojne.
20 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For all the land has been spoiled, My tents have suddenly been spoiled, In a moment—my curtains.
Uničenje na uničenje je razkričano, kajti celotna dežela je oplenjena. Moji šotori so nenadoma oplenjeni in moje zavese v trenutku.
21 Until when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a horn?
Doklej bom videl prapor in slišal zvok šofarja?
22 “For My people [are] foolish, They have not known Me, They [are] foolish sons, Indeed, they [are] not intelligent, They [are] wise to do evil, And they have not known to do good.”
Kajti moje ljudstvo je nespametno, niso me spoznali; neumni otroci so in nobenega razumevanja nimajo. Modri so, da počno hudo, toda za početje dobrega nimajo spoznanja.«
23 I looked [to] the earth, and behold—formless and void, And to the heavens, and they [had] no light.
Pogledal sem zemljo in glej, ta je bila brez oblike ter prazna; in [na] nebo, pa ni imelo nobene svetlobe.
24 I have looked [to] the mountains, And behold, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.
Pogledal sem gore in glej, trepetale so in vsi hribi so se rahlo gibali.
25 I have looked, and behold, man is not, And all birds of the heavens have fled.
Pogledal sem in glej, tam ni bilo nobenega človeka in vse nebeške ptice so odletele.
26 I have looked, and behold, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of YHWH, Because of the fierceness of His anger.
Pogledal sem in glej, rodoviten kraj je bila divjina in vsa njegova mesta so bila zrušena ob Gospodovi prisotnosti in z njegovo kruto jezo.
27 For thus said YHWH: “All the land is a desolation, but I do not make a completion.
Kajti tako je rekel Gospod: »Celotna dežela bo zapuščena, vendar ne bom naredil popolnega konca.
28 For this the earth mourns, And the heavens above have been black, Because I have spoken—I have purposed, And I have not relented, Nor do I turn back from it.
Zaradi tega bo zemlja žalovala in nebo nad [njo] bo črno. Ker sem to govoril, sem to namenil in se ne bom kesal niti se ne bom obrnil nazaj od tega.«
29 From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, All the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And they have gone up on cliffs, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.
Celotno mesto bo pobegnilo zaradi zvoka konjenikov in lokostrelcev; šli bodo v goščave in plezali na skale. Vsako mesto bo zapuščeno in ni človeka, da tam prebiva.
30 And you, O spoiled one, what do you do? For you put on scarlet, For you adorn yourself [with] ornaments of gold. For you tear your eyes with pain, In vain you make yourself beautiful, Unhealthy ones have kicked against you, They seek your life.
Ko si oplenjena, kaj boš storila? Čeprav se oblačiš s temno rdečo, čeprav se krasiš z ornamenti iz zlata, čeprav si obrobljaš svoj obraz z ličenjem, se boš zaman naredila lepo; tvoji ljubimci te bodo prezirali, stregli ti bodo po življenju.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a travailing woman, Distress, as of one bringing forth a firstborn, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She laments herself, She spreads out her hands, Woe to me now, my soul is weary of slayers!”
Kajti slišal sem glas ženske kakor v porodnih bolečinah in tesnobo kakor od tiste, ki rojeva svojega prvega otroka, glas sionske hčere, ki se objokuje, ki razširja svoji roki, rekoč: »Gorje mi sedaj! Kajti moja duša je izmučena zaradi morilcev.«
