Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond is it engraved Upon the tablet of their hearts, Upon the horns of their altars.
»Judov greh je zapisan z železnim peresom in z diamantno konico. Ta je vrezan na ploščo njihovega srca in na rogove njihovih oltarjev,
2 While their children remember the altars, and the images of Astarte, Near the green trees, And upon the high hills.
medtem ko se njihovi otroci spominjajo njihovih oltarjev in njihovih ašer pri zelenih drevesih na visokih hribih.
3 My mountain in the field! thy substance and all thy treasures will I give up for spoil; Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
Oh moja gora na polju, tvoje imetje in vse tvoje zaklade bom izročil v plen in tvoje visoke kraje zaradi greha, po vseh tvojih mejah.
4 Thou shalt of thyself cease to possess the inheritance which I gave thee, And I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not; For ye have kindled a fire in my anger, Which shall burn forever.
Ti pa, celo ti sam, boš odpravljen od svoje dediščine, ki sem ti jo dal in povzročil ti bom, da služiš svojim sovražnikom v deželi, ki je ne poznaš, kajti zanetili ste ogenj v moji jezi, ki bo gorel na veke.«
5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed be the man who trusteth in man, And maketh flesh his arm, And whose heart departeth from Jehovah!
Tako govori Gospod: »Preklet bodi človek, ki zaupa v moža in postavlja osebo [za] svoj laket in katerega srce odhaja od Gospoda.
6 He shall be like a poor wanderer in the desert, Who seeth not when good cometh, But dwelleth in the parched places of the desert, In a salt land, and uninhabited.
Kajti podoben bo brinu v puščavi in ne bo videl, ko prihaja dobro, temveč bo naselil izsušene kraje v divjini, v slani in nenaseljeni deželi.
7 Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah; Who in Jehovah placeth his hope!
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki zaupa v Gospoda in čigar upanje je v Gospodu.
8 He shall be like a tree planted by the water-side, That spreadeth out her roots by the stream, That feeleth not when the heat cometh, But whose leaf is green; That careth not in the year of drought, Nor ceaseth from yielding fruit.
Kajti on bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob vodah in ki razširja svoje korenine ob reki in ne bo videlo, ko prihaja vročina, temveč bo njegovo listje zeleno; v sušnem letu ne bo zaskrbljeno niti ne bo prenehalo rojevati sadu.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things; Yea, it is corrupt; who can know it?
Srce je varljivo nad vsemi stvarmi in obupno zlobno. Kdo ga lahko spozna?
10 I, Jehovah, search the heart, And try the reins, To give to every man according to his ways, And according to the fruit of his doings.
Jaz, Gospod, preiskujem srce, jaz preizkušam notranjost, celó da vsakemu človeku dam glede na njegove poti in glede na sad njegovih dejanj.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, So is he that getteth riches, and not by right; In the midst of his days shall he leave them, And in his latter end find himself a fool.
Kakor jerebica sedi na jajcih, ki jih ni znesla, tako tisti, ki pridobiva bogastva, pa ne po pravici, jih bo zapustil v sredi svojih dni in ob svojem koncu bo bedak.«
12 A glorious, lofty throne from the beginning Hath been the place of our sanctuary.
Veličasten visok prestol od začetka je prostor našega svetišča.
13 O thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! All that forsake thee shall be put to shame; Yea, all that depart from me shall be written in dust, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, they have forsaken Jehovah.
Oh Gospod, Izraelovo upanje, vsi, ki te zapustijo, bodo osramočeni in tisti, ki odidejo od mene, bodo zapisani v zemljo, ker so zapustili Gospoda, studenec živih vodá.
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved; For thou art my praise!
Ozdravi me, oh Gospod in jaz bom ozdravljen, reši me in jaz bom rešen, kajti ti si moja hvala.
15 Behold, they say to me, “Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come to pass!”
Glej, pravijo mi: »Kje je beseda od Gospoda? Naj ta sedaj pride.«
16 I have not refused to follow thee, as thy shepherd, Neither have I desired the day of woe, as thou knowest! That which came from my lips hath been before thine eyes.
Kar se mene tiče, nisem hitel pred tem, da bi bil pastir, da ti sledim. Niti si nisem želel dneva, polnega gorja; ti veš. To, kar je prišlo iz mojih ustnic, je bilo pred teboj pravilno.
17 Be not thou a terror to me, Thou, my refuge in the day of distress! Let my persecutors be confounded, but let not me be confounded!
Ne bodi mi strahota. Ti si moje upanje v dnevu zla.
18 Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed! Bring upon them the day of calamity, And destroy them with double destruction!
Naj bodo zbegani [tisti], ki me preganjajo, toda jaz naj ne bom zbegan. Naj bodo zaprepadeni, toda jaz naj ne bom zaprepaden. Nanje privedi dan zla in jih uniči z dvojnim uničenjem.
19 Thus said Jehovah to me: Go and stand in the people's gate, Through which the kings of Judah come in and go out, And in all the gates of Jerusalem,
Tako mi je rekel Gospod: »Pojdi in stoj v velikih vratih otrok ljudstva, pri katerih Judovi kralji vstopajo in pri katerih gredo ven in v vseh jeruzalemskih velikih vratih
20 And say to them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, All Judah, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, Who enter in through these gates!
in jim reci: ›Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi Judovi kralji in ves Juda in vsi prebivalci Jeruzalema, ki vstopate pri teh velikih vratih.
21 Thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to yourselves, And carry no burden on the sabbath-day, And bring none through the gates of Jerusalem.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Pazite nase in na šabatni dan ne prenašajte nobenega bremena niti tega ne prinašajte noter pri jeruzalemskih velikih vratih.
22 Bear no burden from your houses on the sabbath-day, And do no kind of work; But keep ye holy the sabbath-day, As I commanded your fathers.
Niti ne prinašajte bremena iz svojih hiš na šabatni dan niti ne počnite nobenega dela, temveč posvečujte šabatni dan, kakor sem zapovedal vašim očetom.
23 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, But made their necks stiff, and refused to hear, And refused to receive instruction.
Toda niso ubogali niti niso nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so otrdili svoj vrat, da ne bi niti slišali niti prejeli poučevanja.
24 If ye will now diligently hearken to me, saith Jehovah, And bring no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, But keep holy the sabbath-day, Doing no work therein,
In zgodilo se bo, če mi boste marljivo prisluhnili, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da ne prinašate nobenega bremena skozi velika vrata tega mesta na šabatni dan, temveč posvečujete šabatni dan, da v tem [dnevu] ne delate nobenega dela,
25 Then shall enter the gates of this city kings and princes, Who sit upon the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses, They and their chieftains, The men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; And this city shall be inhabited forever.
potem bodo tam, v velika vrata tega mesta, vstopali kralji in princi, sedeč na Davidovem prestolu, jahajoč na bojnih vozovih in konjih, oni in njihovi princi, Judovi možje in prebivalci Jeruzalema; in to mesto bo ostalo na veke.
26 Then from the cities of Judah, and the places around Jerusalem, From the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, From the mountains, and from the South, Shall they come bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, And flour-offerings, and incense, And bringing thank-offerings to the house of Jehovah.
Prišli bodo iz Judovih mest in iz krajev okoli Jeruzalema in iz Benjaminove dežele in ravnine in z gora in iz juga, prinašajoč žgalne daritve, klavne daritve, jedilne daritve in kadilo ter prinašajoč daritve hvale v Gospodovo hišo.
27 But if ye will not hearken to me, To keep holy the sabbath-day, And to carry no burden through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day, Then will I kindle in her gates an unquenchable fire, Which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Toda če mi ne boste prisluhnili, da posvečujete šabatni dan in da ne nosite bremena, celo ko vstopate pri jeruzalemskih velikih vratih na šabatni dan, potem bom zanetil ogenj v njegovih velikih vratih in ta bo požrl jeruzalemske palače in ne bo pogašen.‹«
