Jeremiah 6
1 Find safety, people of Benjamin, by leaving Jerusalem. Blow a trumpet in Tekoa. Raise up over Beth Hakkerem a signal, since wickedness is appearing from the north; a great crushing is coming.
»Oh vi, Benjaminovi otroci, zberite se, da zbežite iz srede Jeruzalema in trobite na šofar v Tekói in postavite znamenje ognja v Bet Keremu. Kajti zlo se pojavlja iz severa in veliko uničenje.
2 The daughter of Zion, the beautiful and delicate woman, will be destroyed.
Hčer sionsko sem primerjal z ljubko in prefinjeno žensko.
3 The shepherds and their flocks will go to them; they will set up tents against her all around; each man will shepherd with his own hand.
Pastirji s svojimi tropi bodo prišli k njej, svoje šotore bodo postavili naokoli nje, vsak bo pasel na svojem kraju.‹«
4 “Dedicate yourselves to the gods for the battle. Arise, let us attack at noon. It is too bad that the daylight is fading away, that the evening shadows are falling.
»Pripravite vojno zoper njo. Vstanimo in gremo gor opoldan. Gorje nam! Kajti dan mineva, kajti sence večera so podaljšane.«
5 But let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses.”
»Vstanimo in gremo gor ponoči in uničimo njene palače.«
6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: Cut her trees, and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem. This is the right city to attack, because it is filled with oppression.
Kajti tako je rekel Gospod nad bojevniki: »Posekajte drevesa in nasujte nasip zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem. To je mesto, ki bo obiskano; ona je celotno zatiranje v njeni sredi.
7 As a well pours out fresh water, so this city keeps producing wickedness. Violence and disorder are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before my face.
Kakor studenec bruha svoje vode, tako ona bruha svojo zlobnost. Nasilje in plen je slišati v njej; žalost in rane so nenehno pred menoj.
8 Accept discipline, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make you into a ruin, an uninhabited land.'”
Bodi poučena, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, da ne bi moja duša odšla od tebe; da te ne bi naredil zapuščeno, deželo, ki ni naseljena.«
9 Yahweh of hosts says this, “They will certainly glean those who are left in Israel like a vineyard. Reach out again with your hand to pick grapes from the vines.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Temeljito bodo paberkovali Izraelov preostanek kakor trto. Svojo roko obrni nazaj kakor obiralci grozdja v košare.
10 To whom should I declare and warn so they will listen? Look! Their ears are uncircumcised; they are not able to pay attention! Look! The word of Yahweh has come to them to correct them, but they do not want it.”
Komu naj govorim in dam svarilo, da bi lahko slišali? Glej, njihovo uho je neobrezano in ne morejo prisluhniti. Glej, Gospodova beseda jim je graja; v njej nimajo veselja.
11 But I am filled with Yahweh's fury. I am tired of holding it in. He said, to me, “Pour it out on the children in the streets and on the groups of young men. For every man will be taken away with his wife; and every old person heavy with years.
Zato sem poln Gospodove razjarjenosti; izmučen sem z zadrževanjem. Izlil jo bom ven na otroke naokoli in skupaj na zbor mladeničev, kajti vzet bo celo soprog z ženo, ostarel s tistim, ki je izpolnjen z dnevi.
12 Their houses will be turned over to others, both their fields and their wives together. For I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Njihove hiše bodo obrnjene k drugim, skupaj z njihovimi polji in ženami, kajti svojo roko bom iztegnil nad prebivalce dežele, « govori Gospod.
13 Yahweh declares that from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
»Kajti od najmanjših izmed njih, celo do največjih izmed njih, je vsak predan pohlepu, in od preroka, celo do duhovnika, vsak krivo postopa.
14 They have healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, Peace,' when there is no peace.
Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
15 Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
Mar so bili osramočeni, ko so zagrešili ogabnost? Ne, sploh niso bili osramočeni niti niso mogli zardeti. Zato bodo padli med tistimi, ki padajo. Ob času, ko jih obiščem, bodo vrženi dol, « govori Gospod.
16 Yahweh says this, “Stand at the road crossing and look; ask for the ancient pathways. 'Where is this good way?' Then go on it and find a resting place for yourselves. But the people say, 'We will not go.'
Tako govori Gospod: »Ustavite se na poteh in glejte ter vprašajte za starimi stezami, kje je dobra pot, hodite po njej in našli boste počitek svojim dušam.« Rekli pa so: »Mi ne bomo hodili po njej.«
17 I appointed for you watchmen to listen for the trumpet. But they said, 'We will not listen.'
Prav tako sem nad vami postavil stražarje, rekoč: »Prisluhnite zvoku šofarja.« Toda rekli so: »Ne bomo prisluhnili.«
18 Therefore, nations, listen! See, you witnesses, what will happen to them.
Zato poslušajte, vi narodi in vedite, oh skupnost, kaj je med njimi.
19 Hear, earth! See, I am about to bring disaster to this people—the fruit of their thoughts. They paid no attention to my word or law, but they instead rejected it.”
Poslušaj, oh zemlja. Glej, nad to ljudstvo bom privedel zlo, celó sad njihovih misli, ker niso prisluhnili mojim besedam niti moji postavi, temveč so jo zavrnili.
20 “What does this frankincense going up from Sheba mean to me? Or these sweet smells from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable to me, nor are your sacrifices.
S kakšnim namenom prihaja k meni kadilo iz Sabe in prijeten trst iz daljne dežele? Vaše žgalne daritve mi niso sprejemljive niti mi vaše klavne daritve niso prijetne.«
21 So Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to place a stumbling block against this people. They will stumble over it—fathers and sons together. Inhabitants and their neighbors will also perish.'
Zato tako govori Gospod: »Glej, pred to ljudstvo bom položil kamne spotike in očetje in sinovi bodo skupaj padli nanje; sosed in njegov prijatelj se bosta pogubila.«
22 Yahweh says this, 'See, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
Tako govori Gospod: »Glej, ljudstvo prihaja iz severne dežele in velik narod bo dvignjen od zemljinih strani.
23 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 Zion.'”
Prijeli bodo lok in sulico; kruti so in nimajo usmiljenja; njihov glas rjovi kakor morje; in jahajo na konjih, postavljeni v vrste kakor možje za vojno zoper tebe, oh sionska hči.
24 We have heard the reports about them and our hands fall limp in distress. Anguish seizes us as a woman giving birth.
»Slišali smo o njihovi slavi. Naše roke so oslabele. Tesnoba se nas je polastila in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
25 Do not go out to the fields, and do not walk on the roads, for the swords of the enemy and terror are all around.
Ne pojdi naprej na polje niti ne hodi po poti, kajti sovražnikov meč in strah sta na vsaki strani.«
26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with painful sobs as for an only son, for the destroyer will suddenly come upon us.
Oh hči mojega ljudstva, opaši se z vrečevino in se valjaj v pepelu. Naredi si žalovanje kakor za edinim sinom, najbolj grenko žalovanje, kajti plenilec bo nenadoma prišel nad nas.
27 “I have made you, Jeremiah, one who tests my people like one would test metal, so you will inspect and test their ways.
Postavil sem te za stolp in trdnjavo med svojim ljudstvom, da lahko spoznaš in preizkusiš njihovo pot.
28 They are all the most stubborn of people, who go about slandering others. All of them are bronze and iron, acting corruptly.
Vsi so nadležni puntarji, hodijo z obrekovalci. Bron so in železo, vsi so izprijenci.
29 The bellows are scorched by the fire that is burning them; the lead is consumed in the flames. The refining continues among them, but it is useless, because the evil is not removed.
Mehovi so požgani, svinec je použit z ognjem; livar zaman tali, kajti zlobni niso izločeni.
30 They will be called rejected silver, for Yahweh has rejected them.”
Ljudje jih bodo imenovali zavrženo srebro, ker jih je Gospod zavrnil.«
