< 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 LORD’s house, 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 struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the LORD’s house.
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.
On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
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 the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill 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 its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, 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.‹«
You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have 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.
LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks 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 destruction!” because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all 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.
If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
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, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will 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 an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonour which will 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 the LORD of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Prepevajte Gospodu, hvalite Gospoda, kajti dušo ubogega je osvobodil pred roko hudodelcev.
Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Preklet bodi dan, na katerega sem bil rojen. Naj ne bo blagoslovljen dan, na katerega me je moja mati rodila.
Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore 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 is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” 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,
Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 ker me ni usmrtil od maternice; ali da bi bila moja mati moj grob in njena maternica vedno obilna z menoj.
because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would 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?
Why did I come out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
