< Jeremija 16 >
1 Gospodova beseda je prav tako prišla k meni, rekoč:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
2 »Ne boš si vzel žene niti na tem kraju ne boš imel sinov ali hčera.
Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and 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 thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers — those bearing them, And of their fathers — those begetting 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.‹
Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast 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.
For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies.
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.
And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald 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.
Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
8 Prav tako ne boš šel v hišo praznovanja, da sediš z njimi, da bi jedel in pil.
A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to 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 thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
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?‹
And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, 'For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah 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 thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept,
12 Vi pa ste storili slabše kakor vaši očetje. Kajti glejte, hodite vsakdo za zamislijo svojega zlobnega srca, da mi ne bi prisluhnili.
Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto 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.
And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace.
14 Zato glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da ne bo več rečeno: › Gospod živi, ki je privedel Izraelove otroke gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel 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.
But, 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
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.
Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes 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 Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine 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 have recompensed a first — A second time — their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.
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 Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.
20 Ali si bo človek delal bogove in le-ti niso bogovi?
Doth man make for himself gods, And they — no 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, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name [is] Jehovah!
