Jeremiah 23
1 Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
»›Gorje pastirjem, ki uničujejo in razganjajo ovce mojega pašnika!‹ govori Gospod.
2 Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith 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 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries whither 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 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, saith 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 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute judgment and justice 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 whereby he shall be called, The LORD is 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, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, As the LORD liveth, which 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 liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them; and 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. Mine heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath 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 mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is evil, and their force 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 priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
Kajti tako prerok kakor duhovnik sta oskrunjena; da, v svoji hiši sem našel njuno zlobnost, « govori Gospod.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith 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 And 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 an horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in lies, and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof 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 saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness 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 saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto 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 unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon 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 hath stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath 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 Behold, the tempest of the LORD, [even his] fury, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon 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 have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye 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 spake not unto 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, saith 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 that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith 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, that 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 that 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 which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgat 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 that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? saith 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 Is not my word like as fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
» Mar ni moja beseda kakor ogenj?« govori Gospod, »in kakor kladivo, ki razbija skalo na koščke?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Zato glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki kradejo moje besede, vsakdo od svojega soseda.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
Glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki uporabljajo svoje jezike in govorijo: ›On pravi.‹
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither shall they profit this people at all, saith 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 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? then shalt thou say unto them, What burden! I will cast you off, saith 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 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that 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 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
Tako boste govorili vsak svojemu sosedu in vsak svojemu bratu: ›Kaj je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je Gospod govoril?‹
36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for ye 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 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
Tako boš govoril preroku: ›Kaj ti je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je rekel Gospod?‹
38 But if ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD: Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye 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, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto 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 upon you, and a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.
in nad vas bom privedel večno grajo in neprestano sramoto, ki ne bo pozabljena.«
