Jeremija 16
1 Gospodova beseda je prav tako prišla k meni, rekoč:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 »Ne boš si vzel žene niti na tem kraju ne boš imel sinov ali hčera.
“You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”
3 Kajti tako govori Gospod glede sinov in glede hčera, ki so rojeni na tem kraju in glede njihovih mater, ki so jih nosile in glede njihovih očetov, ki so jih zaplodili v tej deželi:
For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:
4 ›Umrli bodo bolečih smrti; ne bodo objokovani niti ne bodo pokopani, temveč bodo kakor gnoj na obličju zemlje; z mečem in lakoto bodo použiti in njihova trupla bodo hrana za perjad neba in za živali na polju.‹
“They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
5 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Ne vstopi v hišo žalovanja niti ne pojdi, da žaluješ niti da jih objokuješ, kajti svoj mir sem odvzel od tega ljudstva, ‹ govori Gospod, › celó ljubečo skrbnost in usmiljenja.
Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD.
6 Tako veliki, kakor majhni bodo umirali v tej deželi. Ne bodo pokopani, niti ljudje ne bodo žalovali za njimi, niti se rezali, niti se ne bodo zaradi njih naredili plešaste.
“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.
7 Niti se zanje ljudje ne bodo trgali v žalovanju, da bi jih tolažili zaradi mrtvih; niti jim ljudje ne bodo dali čaše tolažbe, da bi pili za njihovega očeta ali za njihovo mater.
No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
8 Prav tako ne boš šel v hišo praznovanja, da sediš z njimi, da bi jedel in pil.
You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.
9 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, povzročil bom, da iz tega kraja, v vaših očeh in v vaših dneh, izgine glas smeha, glas veselja, glas ženina in glas neveste.
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
10 In zgodilo se bo, ko boš temu ljudstvu pokazal vse te besede in ti bodo rekli: ›Zakaj je Gospod proglasil vso to veliko zlo zoper nas? Ali kaj je naša krivda? Ali kakšen je naš greh, ki smo ga zagrešili zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga?‹
When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
11 Potem jim boš rekel: ›Zato, ker so me vaši očetje zapustili, ‹ govori Gospod ›in so hodili za drugimi bogovi, jim služili in jih oboževali, mene pa zapustili in se niso držali moje postave.
Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
12 Vi pa ste storili slabše kakor vaši očetje. Kajti glejte, hodite vsakdo za zamislijo svojega zlobnega srca, da mi ne bi prisluhnili.
And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
13 Zato vas bom vrgel iz te dežele v deželo, ki je ne poznate niti vi niti vaši očetje in tam boste podnevi in ponoči služili drugim bogovom, kjer vam ne bom pokazal nobene naklonjenosti.
So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
14 Zato glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da ne bo več rečeno: › Gospod živi, ki je privedel Izraelove otroke gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
15 temveč: › Gospod živi, ki je Izraelove otroke privedel iz severne dežele in iz vseh dežel, kamor jih je pregnal, ‹ in ponovno jih bom privedel v njihovo deželo, ki sem jo dal njihovim očetom.
Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
16 Glej, poslal bom po mnogo ribičev, ‹ govori Gospod ›in lovili jih bodo in za njimi bom poslal mnogo lovcev in lovili jih bodo iz vsake gore in iz vsakega hriba in iz skalnih lukenj.
But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
17 Kajti moje oči so na vseh njihovih poteh, niso skrite pred mojim obrazom niti njihova krivičnost ni skrita pred mojimi očmi.
For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
18 Najprej bom dvojno poplačal njihovo krivičnost in njihov greh zato, ker so omadeževali mojo deželo, mojo dediščino so napolnili s trupli svojih ostudnih in gnusnih stvari.‹«
And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
19 Oh Gospod, moja moč, moja trdnjava in moje zatočišče v dnevu stiske, pogani bodo prišli k tebi od koncev zemlje in bodo rekli: »Zagotovo so naši očetje podedovali laži, ničevost in stvari, v katerih ni koristi.
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
20 Ali si bo človek delal bogove in le-ti niso bogovi?
Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
21 »Zato, glej, tokrat bom povzročil, da bodo vedeli. Povzročil jim bom, da bodo spoznali mojo roko in mojo moč in vedeli bodo, da je moje ime Gospod.«
“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
