Jeremiah 12
1 You are righteous, Yahweh, whenever I bring disputes to you. I must certainly tell you of my reason to complain: Why do the ways of the wicked succeed? All the faithless people are successful.
Pravičen si ti, oh Gospod, ko se pravdam s teboj, vendar mi pusti govoriti s teboj o tvojih sodbah: »Zakaj pot zlobnih uspeva? Zakaj so srečni vsi tisti, ki postopajo zelo zahrbtno?«
2 You planted them and they took root. They continue to produce fruit. You are near to them in their mouths, but far away from their hearts.
Zasadil si jih, da, zakoreninili so se, rastejo, da, prinašajo sad. Blizu si v njihovih ustih in daleč od njihovih notranjosti.
3 Yet you, Yahweh, know me. You see me and you test my heart toward you. Take them away like sheep to the slaughter, and set them apart for the day of slaughter!
Toda ti, oh Gospod, me poznaš, videl si me in preizkusil si moje srce do tebe. Potegni jih ven kakor ovce za klanje in jih pripravi za dan klanja.
4 How long will the land go on drying up, and the plants in every field wither because of the wickedness of its inhabitants? The animals and the birds have been taken away. Indeed, the people say, “God will not see what happens to us.”
Doklej bo dežela žalovala in zelišča vsakega polja venela zaradi zlobnosti tistih, ki prebivajo v njej? Živali so použite in ptice, ker so rekli: »Ne bo videl našega zadnjega konca.«
5 Yahweh said, “Indeed, if you, Jeremiah, have run with foot soldiers and they have tired you out, how can you compete against horses? If you fall down in the safe countryside, how will you do in the thickets along the Jordan?
»Če si tekel s pešci in če so te utrudili, kako lahko potem tekmuješ s konji? In če so te utrudili v deželi miru, v kateri zaupaš, kako boš potem storil v naraščanju Jordana?
6 For even your brothers and your father's family have betrayed you and have loudly denounced you. Do not trust in them, even if they say nice things to you.
Kajti celo tvoji bratje in hiša tvojega očeta, celo oni so zahrbtno postopali s teboj; da, za teboj so poklicali množico. Ne verjemi jim, čeprav ti govorijo lepe besede.
7 I have abandoned my house; I have forsaken my inheritance. I have given my beloved into the hands of her enemies.
Zapustil sem svojo hišo, zavrgel svojo dediščino, srčno ljubljeno svoje duše sem predal v roko njenih sovražnikov.
8 My inheritance has become to me like a lion in a thicket; she sets herself against me with her own voice, so I hate her.
Moja dediščina mi je kakor lev v gozdu; ta vpije proti meni, zatorej sem jo zasovražil.
9 Has not my prized possession become a speckled bird, that other birds of prey go against her all around? Go and gather all the wild beasts and bring them to devour her.
Moja dediščina mi je kakor lisasta ptica, ptice naokoli so zoper njo. Pridite, zberite se vse ve zveri polja, pridite žret.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard. They have stomped all over my portion of land; they turned my delightful portion into a wilderness, a desolation.
Mnogo pastirjev je uničilo moj vinograd, moj delež so pomendrali pod stopalom, moj prijeten delež so naredili zapuščeno divjino.
11 They have made her a desolation. I mourn for her; she is desolate. All the land has been made desolate, for there is no one who takes it to heart.
Naredili so jo zapuščeno in zapuščena je žalovala k meni; celotna dežela je zapuščena, ker si noben človek tega ne jemlje k srcu.
12 Destroyers have come against all the bare places in the wilderness, for Yahweh's sword is devouring from one end of the land to the other. There is no safety in the land for any living creature.
Plenilci so skozi divjino prišli na vse visoke kraje, kajti Gospodov meč bo požiral od enega konca dežele celo do drugega konca dežele; nobeno meso ne bo imelo miru.
13 They have sown wheat but harvest thornbushes. They are exhausted from work but have gained nothing. So be ashamed of your gain because of Yahweh's anger.”
Sejali so pšenico, toda želi bodo trnje; položili so se v bolečino, toda ne bo jim koristilo. Sram jih bo tvojih poplačil, zaradi krute Gospodove jeze.«
14 Yahweh says this against all my neighbors, the wicked ones who strike at the possession that I made my people Israel inherit, “See, I am the one who is about to uproot them from their own ground, and I will pull up the house of Judah from among them.
Tako govori Gospod zoper vse moje hudobne sosede, ki se dotikajo dediščine, za katero sem svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu dal, da jo podeduje: »Glej, izruval jih bom iz njihove dežele in Judovo hišo bom izruval izmed njih.
15 Then after I uproot those nations, it will happen that I will have compassion on them and bring them back; I will return them—each man to his inheritance and his land.
Potem ko jih bom izruval, se bo zgodilo, da se bom vrnil in imel sočutje z njimi in jih bom ponovno privedel, vsakega človeka k njegovi dediščini in vsakega človeka k njegovi deželi.
16 It will come about that if those nations carefully learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name 'As Yahweh lives' just as they have taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the midst of my people.
In zgodilo se bo, če se bodo marljivo učili poti mojega ljudstva, da bodo prisegali pri mojem imenu: › Gospod živi, ‹ kakor so oni učili moje ljudstvo, da prisega pri Báalu, potem bodo pozidani v sredi mojega ljudstva.
17 But if any do not listen, then I will uproot that nation. It will certainly be uprooted and destroyed—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Toda če ne bodo ubogali, bom popolnoma izruval in uničil ta narod, « govori Gospod.
