Jeremija 10
1 Prisluhnite besedi, ki vam jo govori Gospod, oh hiša Izraelova:
Hear the word, O house of Israel, That YHWH has spoken for you.
2 »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne uči se poti poganov in ne bodi zaprepaden ob znamenjih z neba, kajti pogani so zaprepadeni ob njih.
Thus said YHWH: “Do not accustom yourselves to the way of the nations, And do not be frightened by the signs of the heavens, For the nations are frightened by them.
3 Kajti običaji ljudstva so prazni, kajti nekdo s sekiro poseka drevo iz gozda, delo delavčevih rok.
For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For one has cut a tree from a forest, Work of the hands of a craftsman, with an axe,
4 Okrasijo ga s srebrom in zlatom; pritrdijo ga z žeblji in kladivi, da se ne premika.
They beautify it with silver and with gold, They fix it with nails and with hammers, And it does not stumble.
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] stiff as a palm, and they do not speak, They are surely carried, for they do not step, Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, Indeed, to do good is also not in them.”
6 Ker ne obstaja nihče podoben tebi, oh Gospod; ti si velik in tvoje ime je veliko v moči.
Because there is none like You, O YHWH, 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 does not fear You, King of the nations? For it is befitting to You, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom, there is none like You.
8 Toda oni so vsi skupaj brutalni in nespametni. Kos lesa je nauk ničevosti.
And as one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
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.
Spread-out silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Their clothing [is] blue and purple, Work of the skillful—all of them.
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.
And YHWH [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a perpetual King, The earth shakes from His wrath, And nations do not endure His indignation.
11 Tako jim boste govorili: › Celó bogovi, ki niso naredili neba in zemlje, bodo izginili z zemlje in izpod tega neba.‹«
Thus you say to them, “The gods who have not made the heavens and earth, They 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.
The Maker of the earth by His power, The Establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens—
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 gives forth His voice, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And brings out wind from 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 by knowledge, Every refiner is put to shame by a carved image, For his molten image [is] false. And there is no breath in them.
15 Ničevost so in delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginili.
They [are] vanity, work of erring ones, They perish in the time of their inspection.
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 these, For He [is] the Framer of all things, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
17 Zberi svoje blago iz dežele, oh prebivalec iz trdnjave.
Gather your merchandise from the land, O dweller in the bulwark,
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 said YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.”
19 Gorje mi za mojo poškodbo! Moja rana je boleča. Toda rekel sem: »Resnično, to je žalost in jaz jo moram nositi.
Woe to me for my breaking, My striking has been grievous, And I said, “Surely this [is] my sickness, and I 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 tent has been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out my tent anymore, And raising 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 shepherds have become brutish, And they have not sought YHWH, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
22 Glej, hrup objave je prišel in veliko razburjenje iz severne dežele, da bi Judova mesta naredil opustošena in brlog zmajev.
A voice of a report, behold, it has come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
23 Oh Gospod, vem, da človekova pot ni v njem samem, tega ni v človeku, ki hodi, da usmerja svoje korake.
I have known, O YHWH, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man [is] the going and establishing of his step.
24 Oh Gospod, grajaj me, toda s sodbo; ne v svoji jezi, da me ne bi privedel v nič.
Discipline me, O YHWH, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small.
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 on the nations that have not known You, And on the families that have not called on Your Name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Indeed, they have eaten him up, indeed, they consume him, And they have made his habitation desolate!
