Jeremija 11
1 Beseda, ki je prišla k Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 »Poslušaj besede te zaveze in govori možem iz Juda in prebivalcem [prestolnice] Jeruzalem
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Preklet bodi mož, ki ne uboga besed te zaveze,
And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
4 ki sem jo zapovedal vašim očetom na dan, ko sem jih izpeljal iz egiptovske dežele, iz železne talilne peči, rekoč: ›Ubogajte moj glas in jih izvršujte, glede na vse, kar vam zapovedujem. Tako boste moje ljudstvo in jaz bom vaš Bog,
Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
5 da bom lahko izpolnil prisego, ki sem jo prisegel vašim očetom, da jim dam deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, kakor je to ta dan.‹« Potem sem odgovoril in rekel: »Tako naj bo, oh Gospod.«
That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord.
6 Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Razglasi vse te besede po Judovih mestih in ulicah Jeruzalema, rekoč: ›Poslušajte besede te zaveze in jih izpolnjujte.
Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Kajti iskreno sem izpričal vašim očetom na dan, ko sem jih privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, celó do današnjega dne, [jih] zgodaj vzdigoval in izjavljal, rekoč: ›Ubogajte moj glas.‹
For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 Vendar niso ubogali niti nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so vsi hodili v zamisli svojega zlega srca. Zato bom nanje privedel vse besede te zaveze, ki sem jim jo zapovedal izpolnjevati, toda oni jih niso izpolnjevali.
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
9 Gospod mi je rekel: »Zarota je najdena med Judovimi možmi in med prebivalci Jeruzalema.
And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Obrnili so se nazaj h krivičnostim svojih pradedov, ki so odklanjali poslušati moje besede; in šli za drugimi bogovi, da jim služijo. Izraelova hiša in Judova hiša sta prelomili mojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njihovimi očeti.
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, nanje bom privedel zlo, ki mu ne bodo mogli pobegniti. Čeprav bodo klicali k meni, jim ne bom prisluhnil.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
12 Potem bodo Judova mesta in prebivalci Jeruzalema šli in klicali k bogovom, katerim darujejo kadilo. Toda sploh jih ne bodo rešili v času njihove stiske.
Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Kajti glede na število tvojih mest so bili tvoji bogovi, oh Juda; in glede na število ulic [prestolnice] Jeruzalem ste postavili oltarje tisti sramotni stvari, celó oltarje, da zažigate kadilo Báalu.
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
14 Zatorej ne moli za to ljudstvo niti ne povzdiguj vpitja ali molitve zanje, kajti jaz jih ne bom poslušal ob času, ko zaradi svoje stiske vpijejo k meni.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
15 Kaj ima moj ljubljeni za početi v moji hiši, ko vidi, da je ona izvrševala nespodobnost s številnimi in je sveto meso odšlo od tebe? Ko počneš zlo, potem se razveseljuješ.
What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
16 Gospod je tvoje ime imenoval: ›Zelena oljka, čeden in lep sad.‹ Z zvokom velikega hrupa je na njej vžgal ogenj in njene mladike so polomljene.
The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 Kajti Gospod nad bojevniki, ki te je zasadil, je zoper tebe proglasil zlo, zaradi zla Izraelove hiše in Judove hiše, ki so ga storili zoper sebe, da bi me dražili do jeze v darovanju kadila Báalu.
For the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18 Gospod mi je dal spoznanje o tem in jaz sem to spoznal; takrat si mi kazal njihova dejanja.
And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
19 Toda jaz sem bil podoben jagnjetu ali volu, ki je priveden h klanju in nisem vedel, da so zoper mene snovali naklepe, rekoč: »Uničimo drevo skupaj z njegovim sadom in odsekajmo ga iz dežele živih, da se njegovega imena ne bo več spominjalo.«
But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
20 Toda, oh Gospod nad bojevniki, ki sodiš pravično, ki preizkušaš notranjost in srce, naj vidim tvoje maščevanje na njih, kajti tebi sem razodel svoj primer.
But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
21 »Zato tako govori Gospod o možeh iz Anatóta, ki ti strežejo po življenju, rekoč: ›Ne prerokuj v Gospodovem imenu, da ne umreš po naši roki.‹
Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand:
22 Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, kaznoval jih bom; mladenič bo umrl pod mečem, njihovi sinovi in njihove hčere bodo umrli od lakote.
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23 Tam ne bo nobenega ostanka izmed njih, kajti nad ljudi iz Anatóta bom privedel zlo, celó leto njihovega obiskanja.‹«
And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
