Jeremiás 8
1 Abban az időben, azt mondja az Úr, kihányják majd Júda királyainak csontjait és az ő fejedelmeinek csontjait, a papok csontjait és a próféták csontjait és Jeruzsálem lakosainak csontjait az ő sírjaikból;
Yahweh says, “At the time [that your corpses are scattered on the ground], [your enemies will] break open the graves of your kings and [other] officials who lived in Judah, and the graves of your priests and prophets and other people who lived there.
2 És kiterítik azokat a napra és a holdra és az égnek minden serege elé, amelyeket szerettek, és a melyeknek szolgáltak, és a melyek után jártak, és a melyeket kerestek, és a melyek előtt leborultak; nem szedetnek össze, el sem temettetnek, ganéjjá lesznek a föld színén!
They will take out their bones [from their graves] and [dishonor them by] scattering them on the ground under the sun and the moon and the stars— those are the gods which my people loved and served and worshiped. No one will gather up their bones and bury them [again]; they will remain scattered on the ground like dung.
3 És inkább választja a halált, mint az életet az egész maradék, mindazok, a kik megmaradtak a gonosz nemzetségből, mindazokon a helyeken; a hol megmaradtak, a hová kiűztem őket; azt mondja a Seregek Ura!
And all the people of this wicked nation [who are still alive and] whom I have exiled to other countries will say, ‘We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive [here in these countries].’ [That will be true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Ezt is mondjad nékik: Így szól az Úr: Úgy esnek-é el, hogy fel nem kelhetnek? Ha elfordulnak, nem fordulhatnak-é vissza?
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], tell the people that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to them: ‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not [RHQ]? When people are going along a road and find out that they are walking on the wrong road, they go back [and find the correct road], do they not [RHQ]?
5 Miért fordult el ez a nép, Jeruzsálem népe, örök elfordulással? A csalárdságnak adták magokat, visszafordulni nem akarnak.
[Yes, they do], so why do these people [of Judah] continue [trusting in those idols that have deceived them]? They continue turning away from me, [even though I have warned them].
6 Figyeltem és hallottam: nem igazán beszélnek, senki sincs, a ki megbánja az ő gonoszságát, ezt mondván: Mit cselekedtem? Mindnyájan az ő futó-pályájokra térnek, mint a harczra rohanó ló.
I have listened carefully [DOU] [to what they say], but they do not say what they should say. Not one of them is sorry for having sinned. No one says, “I have done [RHQ] wicked things.” They are [sinning and] doing what they want to as fast as [SIM] a horse that is running into a battle.
7 Még az eszterág is tudja a maga rendelt idejét az égben, és a gerlicze, a fecske és daru is megtartják, hogy mikor kell elmenniök, de az én népem nem tudja az Úr ítéletét!
All the birds [that fly south for the (winter/cold season)] know the time that they need to fly south, and they all return at the right time the following year. But my people [are not like those birds]! They do not know what [I], Yahweh, require them to do.
8 Hogyan mondhatjátok: Bölcsek vagyunk, és az Úr törvénye nálunk van? Bizony ímé hazugságra munkál az írástudók hazug tolla!
Your men who teach you [the laws that Moses wrote] have been saying false things [about those laws]. [So], why [RHQ] do they [continue] saying, “We are [very] wise [because] we have the laws of Yahweh”?
9 Megszégyenülnek a bölcsek, megrémülnek és megfogattatnak! Ímé, megvetették az Úr szavát; micsoda bölcsességök van tehát nékik?
Those teachers, who think that [IRO] they are wise, will be ashamed/disgraced and dismayed when they are taken [to other countries by their enemies] because they sinned by rejecting what I told them. Truly, they were not [RHQ] very wise to do that!
10 Azért az ő feleségeiket idegeneknek adom, mezőiket hódítóknak; mert kicsinytől fogva nagyig mindnyájan nyereség után nyargalnak; a prófétától fogva a papig mindnyájan hamisságot űznek.
So, I will give their wives to other men; I will give their fields to [the enemy soldiers] who conquer them. All the people, including those who are important and those who are not important, deceive [others] in order to obtain their possessions. Even [my] prophets and my priests do that.
11 És hazugsággal gyógyítgatják az én népem leányának romlását, mondván: Békesség, békesség, és nincs békesség!
[They act as though the sins of my people] are not serious, [like] [MET] wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged. They tell the people that everything will go well with them, [but that is not true]; things will not go well with them.
12 Szégyenkezniök kellene, hogy útálatosságot cselekedtek; de szégyenkezni nem szégyenkeznek, még pirulni sem tudnak: ezért elesnek majd az elesendőkkel; az ő megfenyíttetésök idején elhullanak, azt mondja az Úr.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed when they do disgusting things [RHQ], but they do not even know how to show on their faces that they are ashamed [about their sins]. So, [they will be killed, and] their corpses [also] will lie among the corpses of others who have been slaughtered [by their enemies]. They will be killed when I punish them.
13 Végképen véget vetek nékik, azt mondja az Úr! Nincs gerezd a szőlőtőkén, nincs füge a fügefán, a levele is elhervadt; azt teszem azért, hogy tovavigyék őket.
I will [allow their enemies to] take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields. Their fruit trees will all wither. They will not receive [all] the blessings that I prepared for them. [This will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
14 Miért ülünk még? Gyűljetek össze, és menjünk be az erősített városokba, és hallgassunk ott; mert az Úr, a mi Istenünk hallgatásra juttatott minket, és mérges vizet adott innunk; mert vétkeztünk az Úr ellen!
[Then the people will say], “(Why should we wait here [in these small towns]?/We should not wait here [in these small towns].) [RHQ]! We should go to the cities that have high walls around them, [but even if we do that] we will be killed there, because Yahweh our God has decided that we must be destroyed; [it is as though] [MET] he has given us a cup of poison to drink, because we sinned against him.
15 Miért békességre várni, holott nincs semmi jó; gyógyító időre, holott ímé itt van az ijedelem.
We hoped/desired that things would go well for us, but things have not gone well. We hoped that bad things would not happen to us any more, but only things that terrify us [are happening to us].
16 Dántól fogva hallatszik az ő lovainak tüsszögése; méneinek nyerítő hangjától reng az egész föld; és eljőnek és megemésztik e földet és mindenét, a mije van, a várost és annak lakóit.
People [far north in Israel] in [the city of] Dan can already hear the snorting of the horses of their enemies [who are preparing to attack us]. [It is as though] the entire land [of Judah] is shaking as their army approaches; they are coming to destroy our land and everything in it, the people and the cities.”
17 Mert ímé, én vipera-kígyókat bocsátok reátok, a melyek ellen nincsen varázslás, és megmarnak titeket, azt mondja az Úr!
[Yahweh says], “I will send [those enemy soldiers to Judah], and they will be like [MET] poisonous snakes among you. No one will be able to stop them from attacking you [MET]; they will attack you like snakes do, [and kill you].”
18 Megnyugodhatom-é a nyomorúság felett? Szívem eleped én bennem!
I grieve very much [for the people of Judah], and my grieving does not end. I am very sad [IDM].
19 Ímé, az én népem leányának kiáltó szava a messze földről: Nincsen-é ott az Úr a Sionon? Nincsen-é azon az ő királya? Miért ingereltek fel engem az ő faragott bálványaikkal, az idegen semmiségekkel?
Throughout our land, the people ask, “Has Yahweh abandoned Jerusalem? Is [he], our city’s king, no longer there?” [Yahweh replies], “Why do the people cause me to become very angry by [worshiping] idols and foreign gods?” [RHQ]
20 Elmult az aratás, elvégződött a nyár, és mi nem szabadultunk meg!
[The people say], “The harvest [season] is finished, the (summer/hot season) has ended, [and we hoped that we would receive blessings from Yahweh], but he has not rescued us [from our enemies].”
21 Az én népem leányának romlása miatt megromlottam, szomorkodom, iszonyat fogott el engem!
I cry because my people have been crushed. I mourn, and I am completely dismayed.
22 Nincsen-é balzsamolaj Gileádban? Nincsen-é ott orvos? Miért nem gyógyíttatott meg az én népem leánya?
[I ask], “Surely there is [RHQ] medicinal balm in the Gilead [region]! Surely there are [RHQ] doctors there!” But my people have been badly wounded [in their spirits], and nothing can heal them.
