Jeremiah 7
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
»Stopi v velika vrata Gospodove hiše in razglasi to besedo in reci: ›Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vsi vi iz Juda, ki vstopate pri teh velikih vratih, da obožujete Gospoda.
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Poboljšajte svoje poti in svoja dejanja in jaz vam bom povzročil, da prebivate na tem kraju.
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
Ne zaupajte v lažnive besede, rekoč: › Gospodov tempelj, ‹ › Gospodov tempelj, ‹ › Gospodov tempelj so ti.‹
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Kajti če temeljito poboljšate svoje poti in svoja dejanja, če temeljito izvršite sodbo med človekom in njegovim sosedom,
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
če ne zatirate tujca, sirote, vdove, in na tem kraju ne prelivate nedolžne krvi niti v svojo škodo ne hodite za drugimi bogovi,
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
potem vam bom povzročil, da prebivate na tem kraju, v deželi, ki sem jo dal vašim očetom na veke vekov.
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Glejte, zaupate v lažnive besede, ki ne morejo koristiti.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
Ali boste kradli, morili, počeli zakonolomstvo, krivo prisegali, zažigali kadilo Báalu in hodili za drugimi bogovi, ki jih ne poznate
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
in prišli ter stali pred menoj v tej hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom in rekli: »Rešeni smo, da bi počeli vse te ogabnosti?
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ali je ta hiša, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom, v vaših očeh postala brlog roparjev? Glejte, celo jaz sem to videl, « govori Gospod.
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
»Toda pojdite sedaj k mojemu kraju, ki je bil v Šilu, kjer sem najprej postavil svoje ime in poglejte, kaj sem mu storil zaradi zlobnosti svojega ljudstva Izraela.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
In sedaj, ker ste storili vsa ta dejanja, « govori Gospod »in sem vam govoril, vas zgodaj vzdigoval in govoril, toda niste slišali; in vas klical, toda niste odgovorili;
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
zato bom tej hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom, v katerega zaupate in kraju, ki sem ga dal vam in vašim očetom, storil kakor sem storil Šilu.
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Zavrgel vas bom iz svojega pogleda, kakor sem zavrgel vse vaše brate, celó celotno Efrájimovo seme.
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
Zato ne moli za to ljudstvo, niti ne povzdiguj klica, niti molitve zanje, niti ne posreduj k meni, kajti jaz te ne bom poslušal.
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Mar ne vidiš, kaj počno v Judovih mestih in na ulicah [prestolnice] Jeruzalem?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Otroci nabirajo les, očetje netijo ogenj in ženske gnetejo svoje testo, da naredijo kolače kraljici neba in da izlivajo pitne daritve k drugim bogovom, da bi me lahko dražili k jezi.
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
Mar me dražijo do jeze?« govori Gospod: » Mar ne dražijo sami sebe, do zmešnjave njihovih lastnih obrazov?«
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, moja jeza in moja razjarjenost bo izlita na tem kraju, na človeka, na žival, na drevesa polja in na sad tal; ta bo gorela in ne bo pogašena.«
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »Položite svoje žgalne daritve k svojim klavnim daritvam in jejte meso.
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Kajti nisem govoril vašim očetom niti jim nisem zapovedal na dan, ko sem jih privedel iz egiptovske dežele, glede žgalnih daritev ali klavnih daritev,
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
toda ukazal sem jim to stvar, rekoč: ›Ubogajte moj glas in jaz bom vaš Bog in vi boste moje ljudstvo; hodite po vseh poteh, ki sem vam jih zapovedal, da vam bo lahko dobro.‹
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
Toda niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so hodili po nasvetih in po zamislih svojega zlega srca in odšli nazaj in ne naprej.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
Od dneva, ko so vaši očetje izšli iz egiptovske dežele, do tega dne, sem vam celo pošiljal vse svoje služabnike preroke, dnevno sem jih zgodaj vzdigoval in pošiljal.
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
Vendar mi niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so otrdili svoj vrat. Ravnali so huje kakor njihovi očetje.
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
Zato jim boš govoril vse te besede, toda ne bodo ti prisluhnili. Tudi klical boš k njim, toda ne bodo ti odgovorili.
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
Toda rekel jim boš: ›To je narod, ki ne uboga glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti ne prejema grajanja. Resnica je izginila in je iztrebljena iz njihovih ust.‹«
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
Ostriži svoje lase, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem in jih odvrzi proč in povzemi žalostinko na visokih krajih, kajti Gospod je zavrnil in zapustil rod svojega besa.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
Kajti Judovi otroci so storili zlo v mojem pogledu, « govori Gospod. »Svoje ogabnosti so postavili v hiši, ki se imenuje z mojim imenom, da jo oskrunijo.
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
Zgradili so visoke kraje Tofeta, ki je v dolini sina Hinómovega, da svoje sinove in svoje hčere sežigajo v ognju, kar jim nisem zapovedal niti ni prišlo v moje srce.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
Zato, glej, prihajajo dnevi, « govori Gospod, »da ta ne bo več imenovan Tofet niti dolina sina Hinómovega, temveč dolina klanja, kajti v Tofetu bodo pokopavali, dokler tam ne bo več prostora.
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
Trupla tega ljudstva bodo meso za perjad neba in zemeljske zveri in nihče jih ne bo podil proč.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
Potem bom povzročil, da od Judovih mest in od ulic [prestolnice] Jeruzalem preneha glas smeha, glas veselja, glas ženina in glas neveste, kajti dežela bo zapuščena.
