Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Beseda, ki jo je Gospod govoril zoper Babilon in zoper deželo Kaldejcev po preroku Jeremiju.
2 "Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and do not conceal: say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is disappointed, Marduk is dismayed; her images are disappointed, her idols are dismayed.
Razglašajte med narodi in objavite in postavite prapor; objavite in ne prikrivajte. Recite: ›Babilon je zajet, Bel je zbegan, Merodáh je zlomljen na koščke; njegovi maliki so zbegani, njegove podobe so zlomljene na koščke.
3 For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.
Kajti iz severa prihaja narod zoper njega, ki bo njegovo deželo naredil zapuščeno in nihče ne bo prebival tam. Odstranjeni bodo, odšli bodo, tako človek kakor žival.
4 In those days, and in that time,' says the LORD, 'the children of Israel shall come, they and the people of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God.
V tistih dneh in v tistem času, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bodo prišli Izraelovi otroci, oni in Judovi otroci skupaj, šli bodo in jokali. Šli bodo in iskali Gospoda, svojega Boga.
5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.
Povpraševali bodo o poti na Sion, s svojimi obrazi tja, rekoč: ›Pridite, pridružimo se Gospodu z večno zavezo, ki ne bo pozabljena.‹
6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
Moje ljudstvo so bile izgubljene ovce. Njihovi pastirji so jim povzročili, da zaidejo, obrnili so jih proč na gore. Tavali so od gore do hriba, pozabili so svoj kraj počitka.
7 All who found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, "We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers."
Vsi, ki so jih našli, so jih požrli, in njihovi nasprotniki so rekli: ›Ne delamo prestopka, ker so grešili zoper Gospoda, prebivališče pravice, celo Gospoda, upanje njihovih očetov.
8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
Odstranite se iz srede Babilona in pojdite naprej, ven iz dežele Kaldejcev in bodite kakor kozli pred tropi.
9 For, look, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
Kajti glejte, vzdignil se bom in povzročim, da pride proti Babilonu zbor velikih narodov iz severne dežele, in postrojili se bodo zoper njega; od tam bo zavzet. Njihove puščice bodo kakor od mogočnega, izkušenega človeka; nihče se ne bo vračal zaman.
10 Chaldea shall be a prey: all who prey on her shall be satisfied,' says the LORD.'
In Kaldeja bo plen; vsi, ki jo plenijo, bodo nasičeni, ‹ ›govori Gospod.
11 Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses;
›Ker ste bili veseli, ker ste se razveseljevali, oh vi uničevalci moje dediščine, ker ste postali debeli kakor telica ob travi in mukate kakor biki;
12 your mother shall be utterly disappointed; she who bore you shall be confounded: look, she shall be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
vaša mati bo silno zbegana; tista, ki vas je nosila, bo osramočena. Glejte, najbolj zadnji izmed narodov bodo divjina, suha dežela in puščava.
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: everyone who goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Zaradi Gospodovega besa ta ne bo naseljena, temveč bo v celoti zapuščena. Vsak, kdor gre mimo Babilona, bo osupel in sikal bo ob vseh njegovih nadlogah.
14 "Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
Postrojite se naokrog zoper Babilon. Vsi vi, ki upogibate lok, streljajte nanj. Ne varčujte puščic, kajti grešil je zoper Gospoda.
15 Shout against her all around: she has submitted herself; her towers are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.
Vpijte zoper njega vsenaokrog. Dal je svojo roko. Njegovi temelji so padli, njegovi zidovi so zrušeni, kajti to je maščevanje od Gospoda. Maščujte se nad njim, kajti kakor je storil on, storite njemu.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land."'
Iztrebi sejalca iz Babilona in tistega, ki ravna s srpom ob času žetve. Zaradi strahu pred zatiralskim mečem se bodo obrnili vsakdo k svojemu ljudstvu in bežali bodo vsakdo k svoji lastni deželi.
17 'Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
Izrael je razkropljena ovca; levi so jo odgnali proč. Najprej jo je požrl kralj Asirije in nazadnje je ta babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar zlomil njene kosti.‹
18 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, kaznoval bom babilonskega kralja in njegovo deželo, kakor sem kaznoval asirskega kralja.
19 I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
Izrael bom ponovno privedel k njegovemu prebivališču in pasel se bo na Karmelu in Bašánu in njegova duša bo nasičena na gori Efrájim in Gileád.
20 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant."'"
V tistih dneh in v tistem času, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bo iskana krivičnost Izraela, tam pa ne bo nobene; in Judovi grehi in le-ti ne bodo najdeni, kajti jaz bom oprostil tiste, ki sem jih prihranil.
21 "Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: kill and utterly destroy after them," says the LORD, "and do according to all that I have commanded you.
Pojdi gor zoper deželo Meratájim, celó zoper njo in zoper prebivalce Pekóda. Pustoši in popolnoma uniči za njimi, ‹ govori Gospod ›in stori glede na vse, kar sem ti zapovedal.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
Zvok bitke in velikega uničenja je v deželi.
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut apart and broken. How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations.
Kako je kladivo celotne zemlje razklano in zlomljeno! Kako je Babilon postal opustošenje med narodi!
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren't aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.
Zate sem položil zanko in ti si prav tako zajet, oh Babilon in se nisi zavedal. Najden si in prav tako ujet, ker si se prepiral zoper Gospoda.
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, the LORD of hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
Gospod je odprl svojo orožarno in privedel orožja svojega ogorčenja, kajti to je delo od Gospoda Boga nad bojevniki v deželi Kaldejcev.
26 Come against her from the utmost border; open her storehouses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
Pridite zoper njega od skrajne meje, odprite njegova skladišča. Nagrmadite ga kakor kupe in ga popolnoma uničite. Nič naj ne ostane od njega.
27 Kill all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, their day has come, the time of their visitation."
Zakoljite vse njegove bikce; naj gredo dol k zakolu. Gorje jim! Kajti prišel je njihov dan, čas njihovega obiskanja.
28 The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
Glas tistih, ki bežijo in pobegnejo iz babilonske dežele, da razglasijo na Sionu maščevanje Gospoda, našega Boga, maščevanje njegovega templja.
29 "Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow; camp against her all around; let none of it escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
Skliči skupaj lokostrelce zoper Babilon in vse, ki upogibajo lok, utabori se zoper njega vsenaokrog; naj nihče od njega ne pobegne. Poplačajte mu glede na njegovo delo; glede na vse, kar je storil, storite vi njemu; kajti ponosen je bil zoper Gospoda, zoper Svetega Izraelovega.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day," says the LORD.
Zato bodo njegovi mladeniči padli na ulicah in vsi njegovi bojevniki bodo na tisti dan odrezani, ‹ govori Gospod.
31 "Look, I am against you, you proud one," says the LORD of hosts; for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, oh ti, najponosnejši, govori Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, kajti tvoj dan je prišel, čas, da te obiščem.
32 The proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are around him."
Najponosnejši se bo spotaknil in padel in nihče ga ne bo dvignil. Prižgal bom ogenj v njegovih mestih in ta bo požrl vse naokoli njega.‹
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "The children of Israel and the people of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Izraelovi otroci in Judovi otroci so bili skupaj zatirani, in vsi, ki so jih vzeli [za] ujetnike, so jih trdno držali; odklonili so, da jih izpustijo.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Njihov Odkupitelj je močan; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime. Temeljito bo zagovarjal njihovo pravdo, da bi lahko dal počitek deželi in vznemiril babilonske prebivalce.
35 A sword is on the Chaldeans," says the LORD, "and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her officials, and on her wise men.
Meč je nad Kaldejci, ‹ govori Gospod ›in nad prebivalci Babilona in nad njegovimi princi in nad njegovimi modrimi možmi.
36 A sword is on the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is on her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
Meč je na lažnivcih; in oni bodo nori. Meč je nad njegovimi mogočnimi možmi; in oni bodo zaprepadeni.
37 A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
Meč je nad njihovimi konji in nad njihovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad vsemi pomešanimi ljudstvi, ki so v njegovi sredi; in postali bodo kakor ženske. Meč je nad njegovimi zakladi; in oni bodo oropani.
38 A drought is on her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they glory over idols.
Suša je nad njegovimi vodami; in posušene bodo, kajti to je dežela rezanih podob in oni so usekani na svoje malike.
39 Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be lived in from generation to generation.
Zato bodo tam živele divje živali iz puščave z divjimi živalmi z otokov in sove bodo prebivale tam, in ta ne bo več naseljen na veke; niti ne bo od roda do roda naseljen.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says the LORD, "so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."
Kakor je Bog razdejal Sódomo in Gomóro in njuna sosednja mesta, ‹ govori Gospod; › tako noben človek ne bo ostajal tam niti človeški sin ne bo prebival tam.
41 "Look, a people comes from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Glej, ljudstvo bo prišlo iz severa in velik narod in številni kralji bodo vzdignjeni od obal zemlje.
42 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
Držali bodo lok in sulico. Kruti so in ne bodo pokazali usmiljenja. Njihov glas bo rjovel kakor morje in jahali bodo na konjih, vsakdo postrojen, kakor mož k bitki, zoper tebe, oh babilonska hči.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
Babilonski kralj je slišal poročilo o njih in njegovi roki sta oslabeli. Tesnoba se ga je polastila in ostre bolečine, kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
44 Look, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who can stand before me?"
Glej, prišel bo gor kakor lev iz naraščanja Jordana k prebivališču močnega, toda storil bom, da bodo nenadoma pobegnili proč pred njim. In kdo je izbran mož, da bi ga lahko določil čezenj? Kajti kdo je podoben meni? In kdo mi bo določil čas? In kdo je tisti pastir, ki bo stal pred menoj?
45 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: "Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
Zato prisluhnite Gospodovemu nasvetu, ki ga je sprejel zoper Babilon; in njegovim namenom, ki jih je namenil zoper deželo Kaldejcev: ›Zagotovo bodo najmanjše izmed tropa potegnili ven. Zagotovo bo njihovo prebivališče naredil zapuščeno.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations."
Ob hrupu zajetja Babilona je zemlja stresena in krik je slišati med narodi.‹«
