Jeremiah 23
1 "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture." says the LORD.
»›Gorje pastirjem, ki uničujejo in razganjajo ovce mojega pašnika!‹ govori Gospod.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: "You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; look, I will visit on you the evil of your doings," says the LORD.
Zato tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, zoper pastirje, ki pasejo moje ljudstvo: ›Razkropili ste moj trop in jih odgnali proč in jih niste obiskovali. Glejte, na vas bom obiskal zlo vaših dejanj, ‹ govori Gospod.
3 "I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
Zbral bom preostanek svojega tropa iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal in ponovno jih bom privedel k njihovim stajam; in bodo plodne in se množile.
4 I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking," says the LORD.
Postavil bom pastirje nad njimi, ki jih bodo pasli, in ne bodo se več bale niti bile prestrašene niti ne bodo trpele pomanjkanja, ‹ govori Gospod.
5 "Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod ›ko bom Davidu vzdignil pravično Mladiko in Kralj bo vladal in uspeval in na zemlji bo izvajal sodbo in pravico.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: 'The LORD our righteousness.'
V njegovih dneh bo Juda rešen in Izrael bo varno prebival. To je njegovo ime, s katerim bo imenovan: GOSPOD, NAŠA PRAVIČNOST.
7 Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that they shall no more say, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt';
Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko ne bodo več rekli: › Gospod živi, ki je Izraelove otroke privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
8 but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the descendants of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' They shall dwell in their own land."'
temveč › Gospod živi, ki jih je privedel gor in ki je vodil seme Izraelove hiše iz severne dežele in iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal; in prebivali bodo v svoji lastni deželi.‹«
9 Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.
Moje srce znotraj mene je zlomljeno zaradi prerokov, vse moje kosti se tresejo. Podoben sem pijanemu človeku in podoben človeku, ki ga je vino premagalo, zaradi Gospoda in zaradi besed njegove svetosti.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. "Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
»Kajti dežela je polna zakonolomcev, kajti zaradi priseganja dežela žaluje. Prijetni kraji divjine so se posušili in njihova smer je zlo in njihova moč ni prava.
11 for both prophet and cohen are profane; yes, in my house have I found their wickedness," says the LORD.
Kajti tako prerok kakor duhovnik sta oskrunjena; da, v svoji hiši sem našel njuno zlobnost, « govori Gospod.
12 "Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation," says the LORD.
Zato jim bo njihova pot kakor spolzke poti v temi, pognani bodo naprej in padli na njej, kajti zlo bom privedel nadnje, celó leto njihovega obiskanja, « govori Gospod.
13 "I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
Videl sem nespametnost pri samarijskih prerokih. Prerokovali so pri Báalu in mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu povzročili, da zaide na kriva pota.
14 In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none does return from his wickedness: they are all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
Tudi pri jeruzalemskih prerokih sem videl strašno stvar: zagrešujejo zakonolomstvo in hodijo v lažeh. Prav tako krepijo roke hudodelcem, da se nihče ne vrne od svoje zlobnosti. Vsi so mi kakor Sódoma in njeni prebivalci kakor Gomóra.«
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: 'Look, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.'
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki glede prerokov: »Glej, hranil jih bom s pelinom in jih pripravil piti vodo iz žolča, kajti od jeruzalemskih prerokov je izšla oskrunjenost po vsej deželi.«
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Ne poslušajte besed prerokov, ki vam prerokujejo. Delajo vas domišljave, govorijo videnje iz svojega lastnega srca in ne iz Gospodovih ust.
17 They say continually to those who despise me, "The LORD has said, 'You shall have peace'"; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, "No evil shall come on you."
Tem, ki me prezirajo, nenehno pravijo: ›GOSPOD je rekel: ›Imeli boste mir; ‹‹ in vsakomur, ki hodi po zamisli svojega lastnega srca, pravijo: ›Nobeno zlo ne bo prišlo nad vas.«
18 For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has marked my word, and heard it?
Kajti kdo je stal na posvetovanju pri Gospodu in zaznal ter slišal njegovo besedo? Kdo je opazil njegovo besedo in jo slišal?
19 Look, the storm of the LORD, his wrath, has gone forth. Yes, a whirling storm. It shall burst on the head of the wicked.
Glej, vrtinčast veter od Gospoda je v razjarjenosti šel naprej, celo bridek vrtinčast veter; ta bo bridko padel na glavo zlobnih.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.
Jeza od Gospoda se ne bo vrnila, dokler ne izvrši in dokler ne izvede misli njegovega srca. V zadnjih dneh boste to popolno preudarili.
21 I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
Teh prerokov nisem pošiljal, vendar tečejo; nisem jim govoril, vendar so prerokovali.
22 But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Toda če bi stali na mojem posvetu in storili mojemu ljudstvu, da sliši moje besede, potem bi jih obrnili iz njihovih zlih poti in od zla njihovih početij.
23 Am I a God at hand,' says the LORD, 'and not a God afar off?
Ali sem jaz Bog pri roki, « govori Gospod »in ne Bog daleč proč?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him?' says the LORD. 'Do I not fill heaven and earth?' says the LORD.
Ali se lahko kdo skrije na skrivnih krajih, da bi ga jaz ne videl?« govori Gospod. »Mar ne napolnjujem neba in zemlje?« govori Gospod.
25 'I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, "I have dreamed, I have dreamed."
»Slišal sem kaj so rekli preroki, ki v mojem imenu prerokujejo laži, rekoč: ›Sanjalo se mi je, sanjalo se mi je.‹
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
Doklej bo to v srcu prerokov, ki prerokujejo laži? Da, oni so preroki prevare svojega lastnega srca;
27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
ki mislijo, da bi mojemu ljudstvu povzročili, da pozabi moje ime s svojimi sanjami, ki jih oni govorijo vsak mož svojemu sosedu, kakor so njihovi očetje pozabili moje ime zaradi Báala.
28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?' says the LORD.
Prerok, ki ima sanje, naj ta pripoveduje sanje in kdor ima mojo besedo, naj zvesto govori mojo besedo. Kaj je plevel v primerjavi s pšenico?« govori Gospod.
29 'Isn't my word like fire?' says the LORD; 'and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
» Mar ni moja beseda kakor ogenj?« govori Gospod, »in kakor kladivo, ki razbija skalo na koščke?
30 Therefore look, I am against the prophets,' says the LORD, 'who steal my words everyone from his neighbor.
Zato glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki kradejo moje besede, vsakdo od svojega soseda.
31 Look, I am against the prophets,' says the LORD, 'who use their tongues, and say, "He says."
Glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki uporabljajo svoje jezike in govorijo: ›On pravi.‹
32 Look, I am against the prophets who prophesy lying dreams,' says the LORD, 'and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I did not send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all,' says the LORD.
Glej, jaz sem zoper tiste, ki prerokujejo lažne sanje, « govori Gospod » in jih pripovedujejo in mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da s svojimi lažmi in s svojo lahkomiselnostjo zaide s svojih poti, vendar jih nisem jaz poslal niti jim zapovedal, zato sploh ne bodo koristili temu ljudstvu, « govori Gospod.
33 'When this people, or the prophet, or a cohen, shall ask you, saying, "What is the burden of the LORD?" Then you shall tell them, "You are the burden, and I will cast you off," says the LORD.
»In ko te bo to ljudstvo ali prerok ali duhovnik, vprašalo, rekoč: ›Kaj je breme od Gospoda?‹ jim boš potem rekel: ›Kakšno breme? Jaz vas bom celo zapustil, ‹« govori Gospod.
34 As for the prophet, and the cohen, and the people, who shall say, "The burden of the LORD," I will even punish that man and his house.
»In kar se tiče preroka, duhovnika in ljudstva, ki bodo rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda, ‹ jaz bom celo kaznoval tistega moža in njegovo hišo.
35 You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, "What has the LORD answered?" and, "What has the LORD spoken?"
Tako boste govorili vsak svojemu sosedu in vsak svojemu bratu: ›Kaj je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je Gospod govoril?‹
36 You shall mention the burden of the LORD no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
Gospodovega bremena pa ne boste več omenjali, kajti vsakogar beseda bo njegovo breme, kajti sprevračali ste besede živega Boga, Gospoda nad bojevniki, našega Boga.
37 You shall say to the prophet, "What has the LORD answered you?" and, "What has the LORD spoken?"
Tako boš govoril preroku: ›Kaj ti je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je rekel Gospod?‹
38 But if you say, "The burden of the LORD"; therefore thus says the LORD: Because you say this word, "The burden of the LORD," and I have sent to you, saying, "You shall not say, 'The burden of the LORD'";
Toda ker pravite: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹« zato tako govori Gospod, »Ker pravite to besedo: ›Breme od Gospoda ‹ in sem jaz poslal k vam, rekoč: ›Ne boste rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹‹
39 therefore, look, I will surely lift you up and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence:
zato glejte, jaz, celo jaz, vas bom popolnoma pozabil in zapustil vas in mesto, ki sem ga dal vam in vašim očetom in vas vrgel iz svoje prisotnosti,
40 and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.'"
in nad vas bom privedel večno grajo in neprestano sramoto, ki ne bo pozabljena.«
