Jeremiah 27
1 Soon after Zedekiah became the King of Judah, Yahweh gave a message to me.
Na začetku kraljevanja Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, je prišla Jeremiju ta beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
2 This is what he said to me: “Make a (yoke/set of wooden bars to fasten around the neck of an ox), but fasten it around your own neck with leather straps.
»Tako mi govori Gospod: ›Naredi si vezi in jarme in si jih položi na svoj vrat
3 [Then] send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, by telling those messages to the ambassadors from those countries who have come to Jerusalem to [talk to] King Zedekiah.
in jih pošlji edómskemu kralju, moábskemu kralju, amónskemu kralju, tirskemu kralju in k sidónskemu kralju, po roki poslancev, ki so prišli v Jeruzalem k Judovemu kralju Sedekíju
4 Tell them to give this message to their kings: This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship, ]:
in jim zapovej, da rečejo svojim gospodarjem: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Tako boste rekli svojim gospodarjem:
5 ‘With my very great power [MTY, DOU] I created the earth and the people and the animals that are on the earth. And I can give my power to anyone whom I want to.
›Jaz sem naredil zemljo, človeka in živali, ki so na zemlji, s svojo veliko močjo in s svojim razširjenim laktom in izročil sem jo, komur se je meni zdelo primerno.
6 And now I am going to enable King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who does what I want him to do, to control your countries. I am going to enable him to rule everything, even the wild animals.
Sedaj sem vse te dežele dal v roko svojega služabnika, babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in tudi živali polja sem mu izročil, da mu služijo.
7 [The people of] all the nations will work for him, and [later] for his son, and [later] for his grandson, until the time for them [to rule] is finished. Then [the armies of] many great kings from many nations will conquer Babylon.’
Vsi narodi bodo služili njemu, njegovemu sinu in sinu njegovega sina, dokler ne pride pravi čas njegove dežele, potem pa ga bodo zasužnjili mnogi narodi in veliki kralji.
8 But now I tell you that you must [do what the king of Babylon wants you to do] [MET], [like an ox that has] a yoke on its neck [must do what its master wants it to do]. I will punish any nation that refuses to do that. I will cause those people to experience war and famine and diseases, until [the armies of] Babylon have conquered that nation.
In zgodilo se bo, da narodi in kraljestva, ki ne bodo služili istemu babilonskemu kralju Nebukadnezarju in ki svojega vratu ne bodo položili pod jarem babilonskega kralja, da bom ta narod kaznoval, ‹ govori Gospod, ›z mečem in z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo, dokler jih ne použijem s svojo roko.
9 So, do not pay attention to your [false] prophets and fortune-tellers and people who predict what will happen by working magic or by talking with spirits of dead people. Those people say that the king of Babylon will not conquer your country.
Zato ne prisluhnite niti svojim prerokom, niti vedeževalcem, niti sanjačem, niti uročevalcem, niti svojim čarodejem, ki vam govorijo, rekoč: ›Ne boste služili babilonskemu kralju, ‹
10 Those people are [all] liars. [If you believe what they say, ] it will result in your being exiled from your land. I will cause you to be taken from your land, and you will die far away.
kajti prerokujejo vam laž, da bi vas odstranili daleč od vaše dežele; in da bi vas jaz izgnal in bi se vi pogubili.
11 But the people of any country who do what the King of Babylon wants them to do will remain in their own country and be able to plant their crops [MTY] [as they always have done. That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Toda narodi, ki svoj vrat privedejo pod jarem babilonskega kralja in mu služijo, tiste bom pustil ostati mirne v njihovi lastni deželi, ‹ govori Gospod; ›in obdelovali jo bodo in prebivali v njej.
12 [After I gave that message to those ambassadors, ] I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. [I said to him, ] “If you want to remain alive, do what the King of Babylon and his officials want you to do [MET].
Tudi Judovemu kralju Sedekíju sem spregovoril glede na vse te besede, rekoč: ›Privedi vaše vratove pod jarem babilonskega kralja in služite njemu in njegovemu ljudstvu in živite.
13 [It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that] you and your people would die by [your enemies’] swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.
Zakaj bi umirali ti in tvoje ljudstvo, pod mečem, z lakoto in kužno boleznijo, kakor je Gospod govoril zoper narod, ki ne bo služil babilonskemu kralju?
14 Do not pay attention to those prophets who say to you, ‘The King of Babylon will not conquer your country.’ They are liars.
Zato ne prisluhnite besedam prerokov, ki vam govorijo, rekoč: ›Ne boste služili babilonskemu kralju, ‹ kajti laž vam prerokujejo.
15 [This is what] Yahweh says: ‘I have not appointed those prophets. They are saying that I [MTY] gave them messages, but they are lying. So, [if you believe them, ] I will expel you from this land. And you and all those prophets will die [in Babylon]!’”
Kajti jaz jih nisem poslal, ‹ govori Gospod, ›vendar v mojem imenu prerokujejo laž; da bi vas jaz lahko izgnal ven in bi se pogubili, vi in preroki, ki vam prerokujejo.‹«
16 Then I spoke to the priests and the other people, and I said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Do not believe your prophets who tell you that all the gold items [that were taken] from my temple [by soldiers from Babylon] will soon be returned from Babylon, because what they are prophesying is a lie.
Govoril sem tudi duhovnikom in vsemu temu ljudstvu, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne prisluhnite besedam svojih prerokov, ki vam prerokujejo, rekoč: ›Glejte, posode Gospodove hiše bodo sedaj v kratkem ponovno privedene nazaj iz Babilona, ‹ kajti prerokujejo vam laž.
17 Do not pay attention to what they say. Surrender to the king of Babylon. If you do that, you will remain alive. [If you do not do that] [RHQ], this entire city will be destroyed.
Ne prisluhnite jim. Služite babilonskemu kralju in živite. Zakaj bi bilo to mesto opustošeno?
18 If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that [the soldiers from Babylon] will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that [still] remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in [the other palaces in] Jerusalem.
Toda če bi bili preroki in bi bila Gospodova beseda z njimi, naj sedaj naredijo posredovanje h Gospodu nad bojevniki, da posode, ki so ostale v Gospodovi hiši in v hiši Judovega kralja in v Jeruzalemu, ne gredo v Babilon.
19 [I say this] because the [huge] pillars [that are in front of the temple] and the large water tank and the [ten water] carts and all the other items that are used [for offering sacrifices are still in this city].
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki glede stebrov, glede morja, glede podnožij in glede preostanka posod, ki preostajajo v tem mestu,
20 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left those things here when he exiled Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the [other] leaders of Jerusalem and [the leaders of other places in] Judah.
ki jih babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar ni vzel, ko je odvedel proč v ujetništvo Jehoníja, Jojakímovega sina, Judovega kralja, iz Jeruzalema v Babilon in vse plemiče iz Juda in Jeruzalema.
21 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say this about all those valuable things that are still outside the temple and in the palace of the king of Judah and in [other places in]:
Da, tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, glede posod, ki so ostale v Gospodovi hiši in v hiši Judovega in jeruzalemskega kralja:
22 They will [all] be carried away to Babylon. And they will stay there until I say that they should be brought back to Jerusalem. Then they will be bought back here. [That is what I, ] Yahweh, say.’”
odnesene bodo v Babilon in tam bodo do dneva, ko jih obiščem, ‹ govori Gospod, ›potem jih bom privedel gor in jih ponovno vrnil na ta kraj.‹«
