Jeremiah 50
1 The word which Yahweh spake Against Babylon Against the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet:
Beseda, ki jo je Gospod govoril zoper Babilon in zoper deželo Kaldejcev po preroku Jeremiju.
2 Tell ye among the nations And let it be heard And lift ye up a standard, Let it be heard do not conceal: Say ye—Captured is Babylon, Confounded is Bel, Broken in pieces is Merodach, Confounded are her images, Broken down her manufactured gods;
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 there hath come up against her—a nation out of the North The same, shall make her land an astonishment, And there shall be none to dwell therein, —Both man and beast, have removed—have gone.
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 at that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall the sons of Israel come in, They and the sons of Judah together: Weeping as they travel, so shall they journey on, And Yahweh their God, shall they seek;
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 To Zion, shall they ask the way, Hitherward, their faces, Come and let us join ourselves unto Yahweh, In a covenant age-abiding, which 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 Wandering sheep, have my people, been, Their own shepherds led them astray, On the mountains, they seduced them, From mountain to hill, have they gone, They have forgotten their couching-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, devoured them, And, their adversaries, said—We shall not be, guilty, —Because they have sinned, Against, Yahweh the pasturage of righteousness, Yea the hope of their fathers—Yahweh.
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 Remove ye out of the midst of Babylon, And out of the land of the Chaldeans, come ye forth, —And become ye like he-goats before the flock;
Odstranite se iz srede Babilona in pojdite naprej, ven iz dežele Kaldejcev in bodite kakor kozli pred tropi.
9 For lo! I am rousing and bringing up against Babylon a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured, —His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return empty.
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 So shall the Chaldeans become a spoil, —All her spoilers, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh;
In Kaldeja bo plen; vsi, ki jo plenijo, bodo nasičeni, ‹ ›govori Gospod.
11 Because they used to be glad Because they used to be uproarious When plundering mine inheritance, —Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like bulls.
›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, hath turned very pale, She that bare you, hath turned red, —Lo! the last of nations, is—A desert, A parched land, and A waste plain,
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 vexation of Yahweh, she shall not be inhabited, But Shall become a complete desolation, —Every one passing by Babylon, shall be astonished and hiss, over 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 round about All ye who tread the bow, Shoot at her, do not spare so much as an arrow, —For against Yahweh, hath she sinned.
Postrojite se naokrog zoper Babilon. Vsi vi, ki upogibate lok, streljajte nanj. Ne varčujte puščic, kajti grešil je zoper Gospoda.
15 Raise a shout against her round about She hath stretched forth her hand, Fallen are her buttresses, Torn down are her walls, —Because, the avenging of Yahweh it is, Take ye vengeance upon her, As she hath done, do ye, unto 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 ye off the sower from Babylon, And him that graspeth the sickle in the time of harvest, From the face of the sword of the oppressor, Each, to his own people will they turn, and Each, to his own land will they flee.
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 A sheep all alone, is Israel Lions, have driven him away, —At the first, the king of Assyria devoured him, And here, at the last, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing punishment against the king of Babylon, and against his land, —Just as I brought punishment against 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 So will I bring back Israel unto his own pasture, And he shall feed upon Carmel and Bashan; And in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead, shall, his soul, be satisfied.
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, Declareth Yahweh, The iniquity of Israel, shall be sought, and there shall be none, And the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; For I will grant pardon to them whom I suffer to remain.
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 Against the land of Merathaim, go thou up against her, And against the inhabitants of Pekod, —Lay waste and devote to destruction after them Declareth Yahweh, And do according to all which I have commanded thee.
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 The sound of battle is in the earth, —And a great destruction.
Zvok bitke in velikega uničenja je v deželi.
23 How is cut and broken the hammer of all the earth! How hath Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Kako je kladivo celotne zemlje razklano in zlomljeno! Kako je Babilon postal opustošenje med narodi!
24 I laid a snare for thee yea and thou wast captured O Babylon, when, thou wast not aware, —Thou wast found out yea and taken, For with Yahweh, hadst thou contended.
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 Yahweh opened his armoury, and brought out his weapons of indignation, —For, a work, it is pertaining to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, 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 ye against her from farthest parts, Throw open her granaries, Cast her up as heaps, and devote her to destruction, —Do not let her have a remnant.
Pridite zoper njega od skrajne meje, odprite njegova skladišča. Nagrmadite ga kakor kupe in ga popolnoma uničite. Nič naj ne ostane od njega.
27 Cut up all her bullocks, Let them go down to the slaughter, —Alas for them! For their day, hath come, Their time for punishment.
Zakoljite vse njegove bikce; naj gredo dol k zakolu. Gorje jim! Kajti prišel je njihov dan, čas njihovega obiskanja.
28 The voice Of them who are in flight and Of such as are escaping, out of the land of Babylon, —To tell in Zion The avenging of Yahweh our God, The avenging of his temple.
Glas tistih, ki bežijo in pobegnejo iz babilonske dežele, da razglasijo na Sionu maščevanje Gospoda, našega Boga, maščevanje njegovega templja.
29 Publish against Babylon ye chiefs of all who tread the bow—Encamp against her round about Let there be none to escape, Recompense to her according to her work, According to all which she did, do ye to her, —For Against Yahweh, hath she acted presumptuously, 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, shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, be silenced in that day, Declareth Yahweh.
Zato bodo njegovi mladeniči padli na ulicah in vsi njegovi bojevniki bodo na tisti dan odrezani, ‹ govori Gospod.
31 Behold me! against thee most insolent one, Declareth My Lord Yahweh of hosts; For thy day, hath come, Thy time for punishment;
›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, oh ti, najponosnejši, govori Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, kajti tvoj dan je prišel, čas, da te obiščem.
32 So shall the most insolent one stumble and fall, And he shall have none to lift him up, —And I will kindle a fire in his cities which shall devour all who are round about 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, saith Yahweh of hosts—Oppressed were the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, together, —And, all who took them captive, Held them fast Refused 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, can hold fast, Yahweh of hosts, is his name, He will, thoroughly plead, their plea, —That he may quiet 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 over the Chaldeans, Declareth Yahweh, —And against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her princes, And against 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 against the praters, And they shall be shewn to be foolish, A sword, is against her heroes 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 against his horses and against his chariots and, against all the rabble that are in her midst And they shall become women, —A sword, is against her treasures And they shall be made a prey:
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 against her waters, And they shall be dried up, —For a land of images, it is, And with their shocking things, they act as men who are mad:
Suša je nad njegovimi vodami; in posušene bodo, kajti to je dežela rezanih podob in oni so usekani na svoje malike.
39 Therefore shall the criers dwell with, the howlers, Yea ostriches, shall dwell therein, —So shall it be dwelt in no more for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited unto generation after 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 Like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Declareth Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
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 Lo! a people coming in from the North, —Yea, a great nation and many kings, shall be roused up out of the remote parts of the earth:
Glej, ljudstvo bo prišlo iz severa in velik narod in številni kralji bodo vzdignjeni od obal zemlje.
42 Bow and javelin, shall they grasp, Cruel, are they and will not have compassion, Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And, on horses, will they ride, —Set in array, as one man for battle, Against thee, O 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 hath heard the report of them, And unnerved are his hands, —Anguish, hath seized him, Writhing pain, as a woman in child-birth.
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 Lo! as a lion, shall he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, Unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make them run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom against it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall 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 ye, The counsel of Yahweh, which he hath counselled against Babylon, And his devices which he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans, —Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause the pasture to be astounded 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 trembled, —And, the outcry, among the nations, was heard.
Ob hrupu zajetja Babilona je zemlja stresena in krik je slišati med narodi.‹«
