Jeremiah 31
1 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to all families of Israel, And they — they are to Me for a people.
»›Isti čas, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bom jaz Bog vsem Izraelovim družinam in oni bodo moje ljudstvo.‹
2 Thus said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest — Israel.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Ljudstvo, ki je preostalo od meča, je našlo milost v divjini; celó Izrael, ko sem odšel, da mu povzročim, da počiva.‹«
3 From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness.
Gospod se mi je prikazal od davnine, rekoč: »Da, ljubil sem te z večno ljubeznijo, zato sem te pritegnil z ljubečo skrbnostjo.
4 Again do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out in the chorus of the playful.
Ponovno te bom zgradil in boš zgrajena, oh devica Izraelova. Ponovno boš okrašena s svojimi bobniči in šla naprej na plese tistih, ki se veselijo.
5 Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria, Planters have planted, and made common.
Še boš sadila trte na gorah Samarije. Sadilci bodo sadili in jih bodo jedli kakor običajne stvari.
6 For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, 'Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God;
Kajti dan bo, da bodo stražarji na gori Efrájim klicali: ›Vstanite in pojdimo gor na Sion h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.‹
7 For thus said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and say, Save, O Jehovah, thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prepevajte z veseljem zaradi Jakoba in vzklikajte med vodjem narodov. Razglašajte, hvalite in recite: ›Oh Gospod, reši svoje ljudstvo, Izraelov ostanek.‹
8 Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one — together, A great assembly — they turn back hither.
Glej, privedel jih bom iz severne dežele in jih skupaj zbral iz obal zemlje in z njimi slepe ter hrome, skupaj nosečnico in tisto, ki je v porodnih mukah skupaj z otrokom, velika skupina se bo vrnila tja.
9 With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way — they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim — My first-born [is] he.
Prišli bodo z jokanjem in s ponižnimi prošnjami jih bom vodil. Povzročil jim bom, da hodijo po ravni poti ob rekah vodá, na kateri se ne bodo spotaknili, kajti jaz sem oče Izraelu in Efrájim je moj prvorojenec.‹
10 Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd [doth] his flock,
Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo: ›Oh vi narodi‹ in razglasite jo na oddaljenih otokih ter recite: ›Kdor je razkropil Izraela, ga bo zbral in ga varoval, kakor pastir stori svojemu tropu.‹
11 For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
Kajti Gospod je odkupil Jakoba in ga izpustil proti odkupnini iz roke tistega, ki je bil močnejši od njega.
12 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more.
Zato bodo prišli in prepevali na višini Siona in skupaj bodo tekli h Gospodovi dobroti zaradi pšenice, zaradi vina, zaradi olja in zaradi mladičev izmed tropa in od črede. Njihova duša bo kakor namakan vrt in sploh ne bodo več žalovali.
13 Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men — together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
Potem se bo devica veselila na plesu, tako mladeniči in stari skupaj, kajti njihovo žalovanje bom obrnil v radost in jaz jih bom potolažil in jim dal, da se veselijo od njihove bridkosti.
14 And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Dušo duhovnikov bom nasitil z obiljem in moje ljudstvo bo nasičeno z mojo dobroto, ‹ govori Gospod.
15 Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Glas je bil slišan v Rami, žalovanje in grenko jokanje. Rahela, jokajoč za svojimi otroki, je odklanjala biti potolažena zaradi svojih otrok, ker jih ni bilo.‹
16 Thus said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Svoj glas zadrži pred jokanjem in svoje oči pred solzami, kajti tvoje delo bo nagrajeno, ‹ govori Gospod ›in ponovno bodo prišli iz sovražnikove dežele.
17 And there is hope for thy latter end, An affirmation of Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
Upanje je v tvojem koncu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bodo tvoji otroci ponovno prišli k svoji lastni meji.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, 'Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah my God.
Zagotovo sem slišal Efrájima tako žalovati: ›Kaznoval si me in bil sem kaznovan, kakor bikec nenavajen jarma. Obrni me in bom obrnjen, kajti ti si Gospod, moj Bog.
19 For after my turning back I repented, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth.
Zagotovo sem se pokesal, potem ko sem bil obrnjen; in potem ko sem bil poučen, sem udaril na svoje stegno. Osramočen sem bil, da, celo zbegan, ker sem nosil grajo svoje mladosti.‹
20 A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Ali je Efrájim moj dragi sin? Je on prijeten otrok? Kajti odkar sem govoril zoper njega, se ga še vedno iskreno spominjam, zato je moja notranjost zaskrbljena zanj; zagotovo se ga bom usmilil, ‹ govori Gospod.
21 Set up for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back unto these thy cities.
Postavi kažipote, naredi si visoke kupe. Svoje srce naravnaj proti glavni cesti, poti, po kateri si hodila. Ponovno se obrni, oh devica Izraelova, ponovno se obrni k tem svojim mestom.‹«
22 Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass man.
Doklej boš hodila okoli, oh ti odpadla hči? Kajti Gospod je ustvaril novo stvar na zemlji: »Ženska bo obdajala moškega.«
23 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »›Še bodo uporabljali ta govor v Judovi deželi in njenih mestih, ko bom ponovno privedel njihovo ujetništvo; ‹ Gospod [naj] te blagoslovi, oh prebivališče pravice in gora svetosti.
24 And dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
In tam bodo skupaj prebivali v samem Judu in v vseh njihovih mestih, poljedelci in tisti, ki gredo naprej s tropi.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, And every grieved soul I have filled.'
Kajti nasitil sem izmučeno dušo in na novo napolnil vsako žalostno dušo.‹«
26 On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.
Ob tem sem se prebudil in pogledal, in spanje mi je bilo sladko.
27 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man, and seed of beast.
»›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom Izraelovo hišo in Judovo hišo posejal s človeškim semenom in s semenom živali.
28 And it hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An affirmation of Jehovah.
In zgodilo se bo, da kakor sem stražil nad njimi, da izrujem, da zlomim, da zrušim, da uničim in da prizadenem, tako bom stražil nad njimi, da gradim in da sadim, ‹ govori Gospod.
29 In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.
V tistih dneh ne bodo več rekli: ›Očetje so jedli kisel grozd, zobje otrok pa so skominasti.‹
30 But — each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
Temveč bo vsak umrl zaradi svoje lastne krivičnosti. Vsak človek, ki jé kisel grozd, bodo njegovi zobje skominasti.
31 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant,
Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom sklenil novo zavezo z Izraelovo hišo in z Judovo hišo.
32 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Ne glede na zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njihovimi očeti na dan, ko sem jih prijel za roko, da jih privedem ven iz egiptovske dežele. Tisto mojo zavezo so prelomili, čeprav sem jim bil soprog, ‹ govori Gospod.
33 For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.
Toda to bo zaveza, ki jo bom sklenil z Izraelovo hišo: ›Po tistih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bom svojo postavo položil v njihove notranje dele in jo zapisal v njihova srca in bom njihov Bog in oni bodo moje ljudstvo.‹
34 And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.
Ne bodo več učili vsak svojega soseda in vsak svojega brata, rekoč: ›Spoznajte Gospoda, ‹ kajti vsi me bodo poznali, od najmanjšega izmed njih, do največjega izmed njih, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kajti odpustil bom njihovo krivičnost in njihovega greha se ne bom več spominjal.‹
35 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name:
Tako govori Gospod, ki daje sonce za svetlobo podnevi in odredbe o luni in zvezdah za svetlobo ponoči, ki razdeljuje morje, ko njegovi valovi rjovijo; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
36 If these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days.
›Če te odredbe odidejo izpred mene, ‹ govori Gospod, › potem bo tudi Izraelovo seme prenehalo biti narod pred menoj na veke.‹
37 Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Če se lahko izmeri nebo zgoraj in se raziščejo temelji zemlje spodaj, bom prav tako zavrgel Izraelovo seme zaradi vsega tega, kar so storili, ‹ govori Gospod.
38 Lo, days [are coming], an affirmation of Jehovah, And the city hath been built to Jehovah, From the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner.
›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo mesto zgrajeno Gospodu, od Hananélovega stolpa do vogalnih velikih vrat.
39 And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah.
Merilna vrvica bo šla še naprej, vodila bo na hrib Garéb in ga obkrožila do Goe.
40 And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the horse-gate eastward, [Are] holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age!
In celotna dolina trupel in pepela in vsa polja do potoka Kidrona, do vogala konjskih velikih vrat proti vzhodu, bodo sveta Gospodu; ta ne bo več izruvana niti razrušena na veke.‹«
