Jeremiah 51
1 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb — My withstanders, A destroying wind,
Tako govori Gospod: »Glej, vzdignil se bom zoper Babilon in zoper tiste, ki prebivajo v njihovi sredi, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene, rušilni veter.
2 And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it, Round about — in the day of evil.
V Babilon bom poslal prepihovalce, ki ga bodo prevejáli in izpraznili bodo njegovo deželo, kajti v dnevu stiske bodo zoper njega naokoli.
3 Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have ye pity on her young men, Devote ye to destruction all her host.
Zoper tistega, ki napenja, naj lokostrelec napne svoj lok in zoper tistega, ki se dviguje v svojem oklepu in ne prizanašajte njegovim mladeničem. Popolnoma uničite vso njegovo vojsko.
4 And fallen have the wounded in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-through in her streets.
Tako bodo umorjeni padli v deželi Kaldejcev in tisti, ki so prebodeni, na njegovih ulicah.
5 For, not forsaken is Israel and Judah, By its God — by Jehovah of Hosts, For their land hath been full of guilt, Against the Holy One of Israel.
Kajti Izrael ni bil pozabljen niti Juda od svojega Boga, od Gospoda nad bojevniki; čeprav je bila njihova dežela napolnjena z grehom zoper Svetega Izraelovega.
6 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye each his soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance it [is] to Jehovah, Recompence He is rendering to her.
Bežite iz srede Babilona in osvobodite vsakdo svojo dušo. Ne bodite odrezani v njegovi krivičnosti, kajti to je čas Gospodovega maščevanja; on mu bo povrnil povračilo.
7 A golden cup [is] Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore boast themselves do nations.
Babilon je bil zlata čaša v Gospodovi roki, ki je vso zemljo opijanil. Narodi so pili od njegovega vina; zato so narodi besni.
8 Suddenly hath Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl ye for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed.
Babilon je nenadoma padel in bil uničen. Tulite za njim; vzemite balzam za njegovo bolečino, če bo tako, da bi bil lahko ozdravljen.
9 We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens hath its judgment, And it hath been lifted up unto the clouds.
Ozdravili bi Babilon, toda ta ni ozdravljen. Zapustite ga in naj gremo vsak v svojo lastno deželo, kajti njegova sodba sega do nebes in povzdignjen je gor, celó do neba.
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
Gospod je privedel našo pravičnost. Pridite, razglasimo na Sionu delo Gospoda, našega Boga.
11 Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it [is], The vengeance of His temple.
Puščice naredi svetle; zberi ščite. Gospod je vzdignil duha medijskih kraljev, kajti njegov naklep je zoper Babilon, da ga uniči, kajti to je to maščevanje od Gospoda, maščevanje od njegovega templja.
12 Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For Jehovah hath both devised and done that which He spake, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
Postavi prapor na zidove Babilona, okrepi stražo, postavi stražarje, pripravi zasede, kajti Gospod je tako zasnoval in storil to, kar je govoril, zoper prebivalce Babilona.
13 O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in hath thine end, the measure of thy dishonest gain.
Oh ti, ki prebivaš nad mnogimi vodami, obilen v zakladih, tvoj konec je prišel in mera tvoje pohlepnosti.
14 Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I have filled thee [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against thee — shouting.
Gospod nad bojevniki je prisegel pri samem sebi, rekoč: »Zagotovo te bom napolnil z ljudmi kakor z gosenicami; in vzdignili bodo krik zoper tebe.
15 The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
Zemljo je naredil s svojo močjo, zemeljski [krog] je utrdil s svojo modrostjo in nebesa razprostrl s svojo razumnostjo.
16 At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.
Kadar on izusti svoj glas, je na nebu množica vodá; in on povzroča meglicam, da se vzdignejo od koncev zemlje. On dela bliske z dežjem in prinaša veter iz svojih zakladnic.
17 Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image, And there is no breath in them.
Vsak mož je s svojim spoznanjem brutalen, vsak livar je osramočen z rezano podobo, kajti njegova ulita podoba je neresnica in ni diha v njih.
18 Vanity [are] they — work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.
Te so ničevosti, delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginile.
19 Not like these [is] the portion of Jacob, For He [is] former of all things, And [Israel is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
Jakobov delež ni enak njihovemu; kajti on je tvorec vseh stvari, in Izrael je palica njegove dediščine. Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
20 An axe [art] thou to me — weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces by thee nations, And I have destroyed by thee kingdoms,
Ti si moja bojna sekira in bojna orožja, kajti s teboj bom narode razbil na koščke in s teboj bom uničil kraljestva;
21 And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer,
in s teboj bom razbil na koščke konja in njegovega jezdeca; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke bojni voz in njegovega voznika;
22 And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken in pieces by thee young man and virgin,
s teboj bom razbil na koščke moškega in žensko; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke starega in mladega; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke mladeniča in deklo;
23 And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and prefects.
prav tako bom s teboj razbil na koščke pastirja in njegov trop; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke poljedelca in njegov jarem volov; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke poveljnike in vladarje.
24 And I have recompensed to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes — an affirmation of Jehovah.
In povrnil bom Babilonu in vsem prebivalcem Kaldeje vse njihovo zlo, ki so ga storili na Sionu v vašem pogledu, ‹ govori Gospod.
25 Lo, I [am] against thee, O destroying mount, An affirmation of Jehovah, That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I have rolled thee from the rocks, And given thee for a burnt mountain.
›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, oh uničujoča gora, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ki uničuješ vso zemljo. Svojo roko bom iztegnil nadte in te zvalil dol iz skal in te naredil požgano goro.
26 And they take not out of thee a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For desolations age-during art thou, An affirmation of Jehovah.
In ne bodo vzeli od tebe kamna za temeljni kamen niti kamna za temelje; temveč boš zapuščena na veke, ‹ govori Gospod.
27 Lift ye up an ensign in the land, Blow a trumpet among nations, Sanctify against it nations, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint against it an infant head, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
Postavite prapor v deželi, zatrobite na šofar med narodi, pripravite narode zoper njega, skličite skupaj zoper njega kraljestva Ararát, Miní in Aškenáz; določite poveljnika zoper njega; naredite konjem, da pridejo gor kakor dlakave gosenice.
28 Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its dominion.
Pripravite zoper njega narode s kralji iz Medije, njihove poveljnike, vse njihove vladarje in vso deželo njegovega gospostva.
29 And shake doth the land, and it is pained, For stood against Babylon have the purposes of Jehovah, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
In dežela bo trepetala in tarnala, kajti vsak Gospodov namen zoper Babilon se bo izpolnil, da stori babilonsko deželo opustošenje brez prebivalca.
30 Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Failed hath their might, they have become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been her bars.
Mogočni babilonski možje so se prenehali bojevati, ostali so v svojih utrdbah. Njihova moč je odpovedala; postali so kakor ženske. Požgali so njegova bivališča; njegovi zapahi so zlomljeni.
31 Runner to meet runner doth run, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For, captured hath been his city — at the extremity.
En tekač bo tekel, da sreča drugega in en poslanec, da sreča drugega, da pokaže babilonskemu kralju, da je njegovo mesto zavzeto na enem koncu
32 And the passages have been captured, And the reeds they have burnt with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
in da so prehodi osvojeni in trstje so požgali z ognjem in bojevniki so zgroženi.‹
33 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing — yet a little, And come hath the time of her harvest.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Babilonska hči je podobna mlatišču, čas je, da jo mlatijo, vendar še malo in čas njene žetve bo prišel.
34 Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us [as] an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.
Babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar me je požrl, zdrobil me je, naredil me je za prazno posodo, požrl me je kakor zmaj, svoj trebuh je napolnil z mojimi posladki, vrgel me je ven.
35 My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.
›Nasilje, storjeno meni in mojemu mesu, naj bo nad Babilonom; ‹ bo rekel prebivalec Siona in moja kri nad prebivalci Kaldeje, bo rekla [prestolnica] Jeruzalem.
36 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, jaz bom zagovarjal tvojo pravdo in se zate maščeval; posušil bom njegovo morje in posušil njegove izvire.
37 And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
In Babilon bo spremenjen v razvaline, bivališče za zmaje, osuplost in posmeh, brez prebivalca.
38 Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions' whelps.
Skupaj bodo rjoveli kakor levi. Kričali bodo kakor levji mladiči.
39 In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not — an affirmation of Jehovah.
V njihovi vročini bom naredil njihove praznike in jaz jih bom opijanil, da se bodo lahko veselili in zaspali nenehno spanje in se ne bodo zbudili, ‹ govori Gospod.
40 I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats.
›Privedel jih bom dol kakor jagnjeta h klanju, kakor ovne s kozli.
41 How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment among nations.
Kako je Šešáh zajet! In kako je hvala celotne zemlje presenečena! Kako je Babilon postal osuplost med narodi!
42 Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of its billows it hath been covered.
Morje se je vzdignilo nad Babilon. Pokrit je z množico njegovih valov.
43 Its cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land — none doth dwell in them, Nor pass over into them doth a son of man.
Njegova mesta so opustošenje, suha dežela in divjina, dežela, v kateri noben človek ne prebiva niti katerikoli človeški sin tam ne gre skozi.
44 And I have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed — from his mouth, And flow no more unto him do nations, Also the wall of Babylon hath fallen.
V Babilonu bom kaznoval Bela in iz njegovih ust bom osvobodil to, kar je požrl. Narodi se ne bodo več stekali k njemu. Da, babilonsko obzidje bo padlo.
45 Go forth from its midst, O My people, And deliver ye, each his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah,
Moje ljudstvo, pojdite ven iz njegove srede in osvobodite vsak človek svojo dušo pred kruto Gospodovo jezo.
46 And lest your heart be tender, And ye be afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And come in a year hath the report, And after it in a year the report, And violence [is] in the land, ruler against ruler;
In da ne bi vaše srce oslabelo in se boste bali zaradi govorice, ki jo bo slišati v deželi; govorica, bo tako prišla v enem letu in potem bo v drugem letu prišla govorica in nasilje v deželi, vladar zoper vladarja.
47 Therefore, lo, days are coming, And I have seen after the graven images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones do fall in its midst.
Zatorej glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ko bom naredil sodbo nad rezanimi podobami Babilona in njegova celotna dežela bo zbegana in vsi njegovi umorjeni bodo padli v njegovi sredi.
48 And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth, and all that [is] in them, For, from the north come to it do the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Potem bodo nebo in zemlja in vse, kar je na njej, peli zaradi Babilona, kajti plenilci bodo prišli k njemu iz severa, ‹ govori Gospod.
49 Even Babylon [is] to fall, ye pierced of Israel, Even they of Babylon have fallen, Ye pierced of all the earth.
›Kakor je Babilon storil umorjenim iz Izraela, da padejo, tako bodo pri Babilonu padli umorjeni iz vse zemlje.
50 Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
Vi, ki ste pobegnili meču, pojdite proč, ne stojte pri miru. Spomnite se Gospoda od daleč in Jeruzalem naj pride v vaše misli.
51 We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Covered hath shame our faces, For come in have strangers, against the sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah.
Zbegani smo, ker smo slišali grajo. Sramota je pokrila naše obraze, kajti tujci so prišli v svetišča Gospodove hiše.
52 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have seen after its graven images, And in all its land groan doth the wounded.
Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, da bom naredil sodbo nad njegovimi rezanimi podobami, in po vsej njegovi deželi bodo ranjeni stokali.
53 Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Čeprav bi se Babilon povzpel do neba in četudi bi utrdil višino svoje moči, vendar bodo od mene prišli k njemu plenitelji, ‹ govori Gospod.
54 A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
Zvok krika prihaja iz Babilona in velika poguba od dežele Kaldejcev,
55 For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters, Given forth a noise hath their voice.
ker je Gospod oplenil Babilon in iz njega uničil močan glas; ko njegovi valovi rjovijo kakor velike vode, je izusten hrup njihovega glasu,
56 For come in against it — against Babylon — hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences — Jehovah — doth certainly repay.
ker je plenilec prišel nadenj, celó nad Babilon in so njegovi mogočni možje zajeti, vsak izmed njihovih lokov je zlomljen, kajti Gospod Bog povračil bo zagotovo poplačal.
57 And I have caused its princes to drink, And its wise men, its governors, And its prefects, and its mighty ones, And they have slept a sleep age-during, And they awake not — an affirmation of the king, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
Opijanil bom njegove prince, njegove modre može, njegove poveljnike, njegove vladarje ter njegove mogočne može in spali bodo neprestano spanje in ne bodo se zbudili, ‹ govori kralj, katerega ime je Gospod nad bojevniki.
58 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, the wall of Babylon — The broad one — is utterly made bare, And her high gates with fire are burnt, And peoples labour in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Široki zidovi Babilona bodo popolnoma porušeni in njegova visoka velika vrata bodo sežgana z ognjem; in ljudstvo se bo zaman trudilo in narod v ognju in izmučeni bodo.‹«
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign — and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
Beseda, ki jo je prerok Jeremija zapovedal Serajáju, Nerijájevemu sinu, Maasejájevemu sinu, ko je s Sedekíjem, Judovim kraljem, odšel v Babilon, v četrtem letu njegovega kraljevanja. In ta Serajá je bil tih princ.
60 and Jeremiah writeth all the evil that cometh unto Babylon on one book — all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Tako je Jeremija zapisal v knjigo vse zlo, ki naj bi prišlo nad Babilon, celó vse te besede, ki so zapisane zoper Babilon.
61 And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, 'When thou dost enter Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words,
Jeremija je rekel Serajáju: »Ko prideš v Babilon in boš videl in boš bral vse te besede;
62 and hast said: Jehovah, Thou, Thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even unto cattle, for it is a desolation age-during.
potem boš rekel: »Oh Gospod, ti si govoril zoper ta kraj, da ga odrežeš, da nihče ne bo ostal v njem niti človek niti žival, temveč da bo ta zapuščen na veke.
63 And it hath come to pass, when thou dost finish reading this book, thou dost bind to it a stone, and hast cast it into the midst of Phrat,
In zgodilo se bo, ko narediš konec branju te knjige, da boš k njej privezal kamen in jo vrgel v sredo Evfrata
64 and said, Thus sink doth Babylon, and it doth not arise, because of the evil that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.' Hitherto [are] words of Jeremiah.
in rekel boš: ›Tako bo Babilon potonil in ne bo se vzdignil od zla, ki ga bom privedel nadenj in izmučeni bodo.‹« Do tu so Jeremijeve besede.
