Jeremiah 50
1 This is the word that Yahweh declared about Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet,
Beseda, ki jo je Gospod govoril zoper Babilon in zoper deželo Kaldejcev po preroku Jeremiju.
2 “Report to the nations and cause them to listen. Lift up a signal and cause them to listen. Do not conceal it. Say, 'Babylon is taken. Bel is made ashamed. Marduk is dismayed. Its idols are put to shame; its images are dismayed.'
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 A nation from the north will arise against it, and make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee away.
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—this is Yahweh's declaration—the people of Israel and the people of Judah will come together to go with weeping and seek Yahweh their God.
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 They will ask the way to Zion and will set off toward it, saying, We will go and join ourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will 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 My people have been a lost flock. Their shepherds have led them astray in the mountains; they have turned them around from hill to hill. They went, they forgot the place where they had lived.
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 Everyone who went out to them devoured them. Their adversaries said, 'We are not guilty, because they sinned against Yahweh, their true home—Yahweh, the hope of their ancestors.'
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 Leave from the midst of Babylon; go out from the land of the Chaldeans; be like male goats that leave before the rest of the flock does.
Odstranite se iz srede Babilona in pojdite naprej, ven iz dežele Kaldejcev in bodite kakor kozli pred tropi.
9 For see, I am about to set in motion and raise up a group of great nations from the north against Babylon. They will arrange themselves against her. Babylon will be captured from there. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
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 Chaldea will become plunder. All those who plunder it will be satisfied—this is Yahweh's declaration.
In Kaldeja bo plen; vsi, ki jo plenijo, bodo nasičeni, ‹ ›govori Gospod.
11 You rejoice, you celebrate the plundering of my inheritance; you jump around like a calf stamping in its pasture; you neigh like a powerful horse.
›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 So your mother will be greatly ashamed; the one who bore you will be embarrassed. See, she will be the least of nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
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 Yahweh's anger, Babylon will not be inhabited, but will be a complete devastation. Everyone who passes by will shudder because of Babylon and will hiss because all of its wounds.
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 Arrange yourselves against Babylon all around her. Everyone who bends a bow must shoot at her. Do not keep back any of your arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
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 all around! She has surrendered; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down, for this is Yahweh's vengeance. Take vengeance on her! Do to her just as she has done!
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 Destroy both the farmer who sows seed and the one who uses a sickle at the time of harvest in Babylon. Let each person turn back to his own people from the oppressor's sword; let them flee to their own land.
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 Israel is a sheep scattered and driven away by lions. First the king of Assyria devoured him; then after this, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon broke 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 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to punish the king of Babylon and his land, just as I punished 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 I will restore Israel to his homeland; he will graze on Carmel and Bashan. Then he will be satisfied in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead.
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 at that time, says Yahweh, iniquity will be looked for in Israel, but none will be found. I will inquire about the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant that I spare.”
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 “Arise against the land of Merathaim, against it and the ones inhabiting Pekod. Put them to the sword and set them apart for destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—do everything that I am commanding you.
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 sounds of battle and enormous destruction are in the land.
Zvok bitke in velikega uničenja je v deželi.
23 How the hammer of all the lands has been cut apart and destroyed. How Babylon has become a destroyed place among the nations.
Kako je kladivo celotne zemlje razklano in zlomljeno! Kako je Babilon postal opustošenje med narodi!
24 I have set a trap for you and you were taken, Babylon, and you did not know it! You were found and captured, because you opposed Yahweh.
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 has opened his armory and is bringing out the weapons for carrying out his anger. There is work for the 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 Attack her from far away. Open her granaries and pile her up like heaps of grain. Set her apart for destruction. Leave no remnant of her.
Pridite zoper njega od skrajne meje, odprite njegova skladišča. Nagrmadite ga kakor kupe in ga popolnoma uničite. Nič naj ne ostane od njega.
27 Kill all her bulls. Send them down to the place of slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come—the time for their punishment.
Zakoljite vse njegove bikce; naj gredo dol k zakolu. Gorje jim! Kajti prišel je njihov dan, čas njihovega obiskanja.
28 There is the sound of those fleeing, of those who are survivors, from the land of Babylon. These will report the vengeance of Yahweh our God for Zion, and vengeance for his temple.”
Glas tistih, ki bežijo in pobegnejo iz babilonske dežele, da razglasijo na Sionu maščevanje Gospoda, našega Boga, maščevanje njegovega templja.
29 “Summon the archers against Babylon—all those who bend their bows. Camp against her, and let no one escape. Repay her for what she has done. Do to her by the measure she has used. For she had defied Yahweh, 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 So her young men will fall in the city squares, and all her fighting men will be destroyed on that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Zato bodo njegovi mladeniči padli na ulicah in vsi njegovi bojevniki bodo na tisti dan odrezani, ‹ govori Gospod.
31 “See, I am against you, proud one—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts— for your day has come, proud one, the time when I will punish you.
›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, oh ti, najponosnejši, govori Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, kajti tvoj dan je prišel, čas, da te obiščem.
32 So the proud ones will stumble and fall. No one will raise them up. I will light a fire in their cities; it will devour everything around 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 Yahweh of hosts says this: The people of Israel are oppressed, together with the people of Judah. All the ones who captured them still hold them; they refuse 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 The one who rescues them is strong. Yahweh of hosts is his name. He will truly plead their case, in order to bring rest to the land, and to bring strife to the ones inhabiting 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 against the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration— and against the inhabitants of Babylon, her leaders, and 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 against those who say empty words! They will become fools! A sword against her soldiers! They will be filled with terror.
Meč je na lažnivcih; in oni bodo nori. Meč je nad njegovimi mogočnimi možmi; in oni bodo zaprepadeni.
37 A sword is coming against their horses, their chariots and all of the people who are in the midst of Babylon, so they will become like women. A sword is coming against her storerooms, and they will be plundered.
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 coming on her waters, so they will become dry. For she is a land of worthless idols, and they act like people made insane by their dreadful idols.
Suša je nad njegovimi vodami; in posušene bodo, kajti to je dežela rezanih podob in oni so usekani na svoje malike.
39 So desert beasts with the jackals will inhabit there, and the young of ostriches will live in her. For all time, she will no longer be inhabited. From generation to generation, she will not be lived in.
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 Just as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors—this is Yahweh's declaration— no one will live there; no person will stay in her.”
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 “See, a people is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
Glej, ljudstvo bo prišlo iz severa in velik narod in številni kralji bodo vzdignjeni od obal zemlje.
42 They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, 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 heard the reports about them and his hands fell limp in distress. Anguish seized him like a woman giving 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 Behold! He goes up like a lion from the heights of the Jordan to the enduring grazing place For I will quickly cause them to run from it, and I will put someone who will be chosen in charge of it. For who is like me, and who will summon me? What shepherd is able to resist 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 So listen to the plans that Yahweh has decided against Babylon, the plans that he has planned against the land of the Chaldeans. They will certainly be dragged away, even the smallest flock. Their pasturelands will be turned into ruined places.
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 sound of conquered Babylon the earth shakes, and their shout of distress is heard among the nations.”
Ob hrupu zajetja Babilona je zemlja stresena in krik je slišati med narodi.‹«
