Jeremija 10
1 Prisluhnite besedi, ki vam jo govori Gospod, oh hiša Izraelova:
Hear all of you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel:
2 »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne uči se poti poganov in ne bodi zaprepaden ob znamenjih z neba, kajti pogani so zaprepadeni ob njih.
Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 Kajti običaji ljudstva so prazni, kajti nekdo s sekiro poseka drevo iz gozda, delo delavčevih rok.
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 Okrasijo ga s srebrom in zlatom; pritrdijo ga z žeblji in kladivi, da se ne premika.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 Pokončni so kakor palmovo drevo, toda ne govorijo. Morajo jih nositi, ker ne morejo hoditi. Ne bojte se jih, kajti ne morejo storiti zla niti ni v njih, da delajo dobro.‹«
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must essentially be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Ker ne obstaja nihče podoben tebi, oh Gospod; ti si velik in tvoje ime je veliko v moči.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Kdo se te ne bi bal, oh kralj narodov? Kajti tebi to pripada, glede na to, da med vsemi modrimi možmi narodov in med vsemi njihovimi kraljestvi, ni tam nikogar podobnega tebi.
Who would not fear you, O King of nations? in order to you does it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you.
8 Toda oni so vsi skupaj brutalni in nespametni. Kos lesa je nauk ničevosti.
But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9 Srebro, sploščeno na ploščice, je prineseno iz Taršíša in zlato iz Ufáza, delo delavca in iz rok livarja. Modra in vijolična so njihova oblačila. Vsa so delo spretnih ljudi.
Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 Toda Gospod je resničen Bog, on je živi Bog in večen kralj. Ob njegovem besu bo zemlja trepetala in narodi ne bodo zmožni prenesti njegovega ogorčenja.
But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Tako jim boste govorili: › Celó bogovi, ki niso naredili neba in zemlje, bodo izginili z zemlje in izpod tega neba.‹«
Thus shall all of you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 S svojo močjo je naredil zemljo, s svojo modrostjo je osnoval zemeljski [krog] in s svojo preudarnostjo razprostrl nebo.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 Kadar izusti svoj glas, je tam množica vodá v nebesih in meglicam povzroča, da se dvigujejo od koncev zemlje; on dela bliskanje z dežjem in iz svojih zakladnic prinaša veter.
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 Vsak človek je v svojem spoznanju brutalen. Vsak livar je zbegan z rezano podobo, kajti njegova ulita podoba je neresnica in tam ni diha v njih.
Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Ničevost so in delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginili.
They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 Jakobov delež ni podoben njihovemu, kajti on je tvorec vseh stvari; in Izrael je palica njegove dediščine. Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17 Zberi svoje blago iz dežele, oh prebivalec iz trdnjave.
Gather up your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, naenkrat bom izvrgel prebivalce dežele in jih spravil v tegobo, da bodo lahko našli, [da je] to tako.
For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Gorje mi za mojo poškodbo! Moja rana je boleča. Toda rekel sem: »Resnično, to je žalost in jaz jo moram nositi.
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 Moje šotorsko svetišče je oplenjeno in vse moje vrvi so pretrgane, moji otroci so odšli od mene in jih ni, nikogar ni, da bi še razpenjal moj šotor in da bi postavljal moje zavese.
My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone out of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 Kajti pastirji so postali brutalni in niso iskali Gospoda, zato ne bodo uspeli in vsi njihovi tropi bodo razkropljeni.
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Glej, hrup objave je prišel in veliko razburjenje iz severne dežele, da bi Judova mesta naredil opustošena in brlog zmajev.
Behold, the noise of the bruit has come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23 Oh Gospod, vem, da človekova pot ni v njem samem, tega ni v človeku, ki hodi, da usmerja svoje korake.
O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps.
24 Oh Gospod, grajaj me, toda s sodbo; ne v svoji jezi, da me ne bi privedel v nič.
O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Svojo razjarjenost izlij na pogane, ki te ne poznajo in na družine, ki ne kličejo k tvojemu imenu, kajti pojedli so Jakoba in ga požrli in ga pogoltnili ter njegovo prebivališče naredili zapuščeno.
Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
