Jeremiah 10
1 “Hear the word that Yahweh is announcing to you, house of Israel.
Prisluhnite besedi, ki vam jo govori Gospod, oh hiša Izraelova:
2 Yahweh says this, 'Do not learn the ways of the nations, and do not be dismayed by the signs in the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by these.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne uči se poti poganov in ne bodi zaprepaden ob znamenjih z neba, kajti pogani so zaprepadeni ob njih.
3 For the religious customs of these people are worthless. They cut down a tree in the forest, and the craftsman carves the wood.
Kajti običaji ljudstva so prazni, kajti nekdo s sekiro poseka drevo iz gozda, delo delavčevih rok.
4 Then they decorate it with silver and gold. They strengthen it with hammer and nails so it will not fall over.
Okrasijo ga s srebrom in zlatom; pritrdijo ga z žeblji in kladivi, da se ne premika.
5 What they make with their hands is like scarecrows in a cucumber field, because they, too, can say nothing, and they have to be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they cannot bring about evil, nor are they able to do anything good.'”
Pokončni so kakor palmovo drevo, toda ne govorijo. Morajo jih nositi, ker ne morejo hoditi. Ne bojte se jih, kajti ne morejo storiti zla niti ni v njih, da delajo dobro.‹«
6 There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your name is great in power.
Ker ne obstaja nihče podoben tebi, oh Gospod; ti si velik in tvoje ime je veliko v moči.
7 Who does not fear you, king of the nations? For this is what you deserve, for there is no one like you among all the wise men of the nations or all their royal kingdoms.
Kdo se te ne bi bal, oh kralj narodov? Kajti tebi to pripada, glede na to, da med vsemi modrimi možmi narodov in med vsemi njihovimi kraljestvi, ni tam nikogar podobnega tebi.
8 They are all the same, they are brutish and stupid, disciples of idols that are nothing but wood.
Toda oni so vsi skupaj brutalni in nespametni. Kos lesa je nauk ničevosti.
9 They bring hammered silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz made by artificers, the hands of refiners. Their clothes are blue and purple cloth. Their skillful men made all of these things.
Srebro, sploščeno na ploščice, je prineseno iz Taršíša in zlato iz Ufáza, delo delavca in iz rok livarja. Modra in vijolična so njihova oblačila. Vsa so delo spretnih ljudi.
10 But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God and eternal king. The earth quakes at his anger, and the nations cannot endure his anger.
Toda Gospod je resničen Bog, on je živi Bog in večen kralj. Ob njegovem besu bo zemlja trepetala in narodi ne bodo zmožni prenesti njegovega ogorčenja.
11 You will speak to them like this, “The gods that did not make the heavens and earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”
Tako jim boste govorili: › Celó bogovi, ki niso naredili neba in zemlje, bodo izginili z zemlje in izpod tega neba.‹«
12 But it was he who made the earth by his power, and he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
S svojo močjo je naredil zemljo, s svojo modrostjo je osnoval zemeljski [krog] in s svojo preudarnostjo razprostrl nebo.
13 His voice makes the roar of waters in the heavens, and he brings up the mists from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and sends out wind from his storehouse.
Kadar izusti svoj glas, je tam množica vodá v nebesih in meglicam povzroča, da se dvigujejo od koncev zemlje; on dela bliskanje z dežjem in iz svojih zakladnic prinaša veter.
14 Every man has become ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds; there is no life in them.
Vsak človek je v svojem spoznanju brutalen. Vsak livar je zbegan z rezano podobo, kajti njegova ulita podoba je neresnica in tam ni diha v njih.
15 They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.
Ničevost so in delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginili.
16 But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Jakobov delež ni podoben njihovemu, kajti on je tvorec vseh stvari; in Izrael je palica njegove dediščine. Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
17 Gather your bundle and leave the land, you people who have been living under the siege.
Zberi svoje blago iz dežele, oh prebivalec iz trdnjave.
18 For Yahweh says this, “See, I am about to throw the inhabitants of the land out this time. I will cause them distress, and they will find it to be so.”
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, naenkrat bom izvrgel prebivalce dežele in jih spravil v tegobo, da bodo lahko našli, [da je] to tako.
19 Woe to me! Because of my broken bones, my wound is infected. So I said, “Surely this is agony, but I must bear it.”
Gorje mi za mojo poškodbo! Moja rana je boleča. Toda rekel sem: »Resnično, to je žalost in jaz jo moram nositi.
20 My tent is devastated, and all of my tent cords are cut in two. They have taken my children away from me, so they no longer exist. There is no longer anyone to spread out my tent or to raise up my tent curtains.
Moje šotorsko svetišče je oplenjeno in vse moje vrvi so pretrgane, moji otroci so odšli od mene in jih ni, nikogar ni, da bi še razpenjal moj šotor in da bi postavljal moje zavese.
21 For the shepherds are stupid and they do not seek Yahweh; so they have not prospered, and all their flock has been scattered.
Kajti pastirji so postali brutalni in niso iskali Gospoda, zato ne bodo uspeli in vsi njihovi tropi bodo razkropljeni.
22 The report of news has arrived, “See! It is coming, a great earthquake is coming from the land of the north To make the cities of Judah into ruins, hideouts for jackals.”
Glej, hrup objave je prišel in veliko razburjenje iz severne dežele, da bi Judova mesta naredil opustošena in brlog zmajev.
23 I know, Yahweh, that the way of a man does not come from himself. No person walking directs his own steps.
Oh Gospod, vem, da človekova pot ni v njem samem, tega ni v človeku, ki hodi, da usmerja svoje korake.
24 Discipline me, Yahweh, with justice, not in your anger or you would destroy me.
Oh Gospod, grajaj me, toda s sodbo; ne v svoji jezi, da me ne bi privedel v nič.
25 Pour your fury on the nations that do not know you and on the families that do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob and consumed him so as to completely destroy him and demolish his habitation.
Svojo razjarjenost izlij na pogane, ki te ne poznajo in na družine, ki ne kličejo k tvojemu imenu, kajti pojedli so Jakoba in ga požrli in ga pogoltnili ter njegovo prebivališče naredili zapuščeno.
