Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel.
Prisluhnite besedi, ki vam jo govori Gospod, oh hiša Izraelova:
2 Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne uči se poti poganov in ne bodi zaprepaden ob znamenjih z neba, kajti pogani so zaprepadeni ob njih.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Kajti običaji ljudstva so prazni, kajti nekdo s sekiro poseka drevo iz gozda, delo delavčevih rok.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
Okrasijo ga s srebrom in zlatom; pritrdijo ga z žeblji in kladivi, da se ne premika.
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Do not be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
Pokončni so kakor palmovo drevo, toda ne govorijo. Morajo jih nositi, ker ne morejo hoditi. Ne bojte se jih, kajti ne morejo storiti zla niti ni v njih, da delajo dobro.‹«
6 "There is none like you, LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
Ker ne obstaja nihče podoben tebi, oh Gospod; ti si velik in tvoje ime je veliko v moči.
7 Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
Kdo se te ne bi bal, oh kralj narodov? Kajti tebi to pripada, glede na to, da med vsemi modrimi možmi narodov in med vsemi njihovimi kraljestvi, ni tam nikogar podobnega tebi.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols. It is but wood.
Toda oni so vsi skupaj brutalni in nespametni. Kos lesa je nauk ničevosti.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
Srebro, sploščeno na ploščice, je prineseno iz Taršíša in zlato iz Ufáza, delo delavca in iz rok livarja. Modra in vijolična so njihova oblačila. Vsa so delo spretnih ljudi.
10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
Toda Gospod je resničen Bog, on je živi Bog in večen kralj. Ob njegovem besu bo zemlja trepetala in narodi ne bodo zmožni prenesti njegovega ogorčenja.
11 You shall say this to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.'
Tako jim boste govorili: › Celó bogovi, ki niso naredili neba in zemlje, bodo izginili z zemlje in izpod tega neba.‹«
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
S svojo močjo je naredil zemljo, s svojo modrostjo je osnoval zemeljski [krog] in s svojo preudarnostjo razprostrl nebo.
13 when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Kadar izusti svoj glas, je tam množica vodá v nebesih in meglicam povzroča, da se dvigujejo od koncev zemlje; on dela bliskanje z dežjem in iz svojih zakladnic prinaša veter.
14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Vsak človek je v svojem spoznanju brutalen. Vsak livar je zbegan z rezano podobo, kajti njegova ulita podoba je neresnica in tam ni diha v njih.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Ničevost so in delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginili.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name."
Jakobov delež ni podoben njihovemu, kajti on je tvorec vseh stvari; in Izrael je palica njegove dediščine. Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
17 'Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
Zberi svoje blago iz dežele, oh prebivalec iz trdnjave.
18 For thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.'
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, naenkrat bom izvrgel prebivalce dežele in jih spravil v tegobo, da bodo lahko našli, [da je] to tako.
19 Woe is me because of my hurt. My wound is grievous: but I said, 'Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.'
Gorje mi za mojo poškodbo! Moja rana je boleča. Toda rekel sem: »Resnično, to je žalost in jaz jo moram nositi.
20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Moje šotorsko svetišče je oplenjeno in vse moje vrvi so pretrgane, moji otroci so odšli od mene in jih ni, nikogar ni, da bi še razpenjal moj šotor in da bi postavljal moje zavese.
21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
Kajti pastirji so postali brutalni in niso iskali Gospoda, zato ne bodo uspeli in vsi njihovi tropi bodo razkropljeni.
22 The voice of news, look, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
Glej, hrup objave je prišel in veliko razburjenje iz severne dežele, da bi Judova mesta naredil opustošena in brlog zmajev.
23 LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
Oh Gospod, vem, da človekova pot ni v njem samem, tega ni v človeku, ki hodi, da usmerja svoje korake.
24 LORD, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
Oh Gospod, grajaj me, toda s sodbo; ne v svoji jezi, da me ne bi privedel v nič.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."
Svojo razjarjenost izlij na pogane, ki te ne poznajo in na družine, ki ne kličejo k tvojemu imenu, kajti pojedli so Jakoba in ga požrli in ga pogoltnili ter njegovo prebivališče naredili zapuščeno.
