Jeremija 20

1 Torej Pašhúr, Imêrjev sin, duhovnik, ki je bil tudi glavni voditelj v Gospodovi hiši, je slišal, da je Jeremija prerokoval te stvari.

Now Pashhur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

2 Potem je Pašhúr udaril preroka Jeremija in ga vtaknil v klade, ki so bile pri Benjaminovih visokih velikih vratih, ki so bila pri Gospodovi hiši.

Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the LORD.

3 Naslednji dan se je pripetilo, da je Pašhúr privedel Jeremija iz klad. Potem mu je Jeremija rekel: » Gospod tvojega imena ne imenuje Pašhúr, temveč Magor misabib.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.

4 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, naredil te bom sebi in vsem tvojim prijateljem za strahoto. Ti bodo padli pod mečem svojih sovražnikov in tvoje oči bodo to gledale in celotnega Juda bom izročil v roko babilonskega kralja in ta jih bo odvedel ujete v Babilon in jih umoril z mečem.

For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

5 Poleg tega bom izročil vso moč tega mesta, vse njegove trude, vse njegove dragocene stvari in vse zaklade Judovih kraljev bom dal v roko njihovih sovražnikov, ki jih bodo oplenili, jih vzeli in jih odnesli v Babilon.

Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the precious things thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

6 Ti, Pašhúr in vsi, ki prebivate v tvoji hiši, boste šli v ujetništvo. Prišel boš v Babilon in tam boš umrl in tam boš pokopan, ti in vsi tvoji prijatelji, katerim si prerokoval laži.‹«

And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.

7 Oh Gospod, zavedel si me in bil sem zaveden. Močnejši si kakor jaz in si prevladal. Vsak dan sem v posmeh, vsakdo me zasmehuje.

O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am become a laughingstock all the day, every one mocketh me.

8 Kajti odkar sem govoril, sem vpil, razglašal nasilje in plen, ker mi je bila Gospodova beseda vsak dan narejena [v] grajo in posmeh.

For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and spoil: because the word of the LORD is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day.

9 Potem sem rekel: »Ne bom ga omenjal niti ne bom več govoril v njegovem imenu.« Toda njegova beseda je bila v mojem srcu kakor goreč ogenj, zaprta v mojih kosteh, jaz pa sem bil izmučen od prizanašanja in nisem mogel ostati.

And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in mine heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot [contain].

10 Kajti slišal sem psovanje mnogih, strah na vsaki strani. »Ovadite, « so rekli »in ovadili bomo.« Vsi moji znanci so opazovali moje oklevanje, rekoč: »Morda bo premamljen in bomo prevladali zoper njega in svoje maščevanje bomo izvedli nad njim.«

For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, [say] all my familiar friends, they that watch for my halting; peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

11 Toda Gospod je z menoj kakor mogočen strahovitež. Zato se bodo moji preganjalci spotaknili in ne bodo prevladali. Silno bodo osramočeni, kajti ne bodo uspeli. Njihova večna zmeda ne bo nikoli pozabljena.

But the LORD is with me as a mighty one [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonour which shall never be forgotten.

12 Toda, oh Gospod nad bojevniki, ki preizkušaš pravične in vidiš notranjosti in srce, naj vidim tvoje maščevanje na njih, kajti tebi sem odprl svojo pravdo.

But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

13 Prepevajte Gospodu, hvalite Gospoda, kajti dušo ubogega je osvobodil pred roko hudodelcev.

Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.

14 Preklet bodi dan, na katerega sem bil rojen. Naj ne bo blagoslovljen dan, na katerega me je moja mati rodila.

Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

15 Preklet bodi človek, ki je prinesel novice mojemu očetu, rekoč: »Fantek se ti je rodil, « in ga tako naredil zelo veselega.

Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

16 Naj bo ta človek kakor mesta, ki jih je Gospod razdejal in se ni pokesal. Naj sliši jok zjutraj in vriskanje opoldan,

And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontide;

17 ker me ni usmrtil od maternice; ali da bi bila moja mati moj grob in njena maternica vedno obilna z menoj.

because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother should have been my grave, and her womb always great.

18 Zakaj sem prišel ven iz maternice, da vidim trud in bridkost, da bi bili moji dnevi použiti s sramoto?

Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
