Jeremija 22
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Pojdi dol k hiši Judovega kralja in tam spregovori to besedo
This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,
2 in reci: ›Poslušaj besedo od Gospoda, oh Judov kralj, ki sediš na Davidovem prestolu, ti in tvoji služabniki in tvoje ljudstvo, ki vstopate pri teh velikih vratih.
saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.
3 Tako govori Gospod: ›Izvršujte sodbo in pravičnost ter oplenjenega osvobodite iz roke zatiralca. Ne delajte napačno, ne delajte nasilja tujcu [niti] osirotelemu niti vdovi niti ne prelivajte nedolžne krvi na tem kraju.
This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
4 Kajti če zares storite to stvar, potem bodo tam, pri velikih vratih te hiše, vstopali kralji, sedeči na Davidovem prestolu, jahajoči na bojnih vozovih in na konjih, on, njegovi služabniki in njegovo ljudstvo.
For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.
5 Toda če ne boste poslušali teh besed, prisežem pri sebi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo ta hiša postala opustošenje.‹
But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
6 Kajti tako govori Gospod kraljevi hiši Juda: ›Ti si mi Gileád in glava Libanona, vendar te bom zagotovo spremenil [v] divjino in mesta, ki niso naseljena.
For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited.
7 Zoper tebe bom pripravil uničevalce, vsakogar s svojimi orožji. Posekali bodo tvoje izbrane cedre in jih vrgli v ogenj.
I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.
8 Številni narodi bodo šli mimo tega mesta in vsak človek bo rekel svojemu sosedu: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil temu velikemu mestu?‹
And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’
9 Potem bodo odgovorili: ›Ker so zapustili zavezo Gospoda, svojega Boga in oboževali druge bogove ter jim služili.‹
Then people will reply, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”
10 Ne jokajte za mrtvim niti ga ne objokujte, temveč boleče jokajte za tistim, ki gre proč, kajti ne bo se več vrnil niti ne bo videl svoje domače dežele.
Do not weep for the dead king; do not mourn his loss. Weep bitterly for the one who is exiled, for he will never return to see his native land.
11 Kajti tako govori Gospod glede Jošíjevega sina Šalúma, Judovega kralja, ki je zakraljeval namesto svojega očeta Jošíja, ki je odšel iz tega kraja: ›Tja se ne bo več vrnil, ‹
For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,
12 temveč bo umrl na kraju, kamor so ga odvedli v ujetništvo in ne bo več videl te dežele.
but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
13 Gorje tistemu, ki svojo hišo gradi z nepravičnostjo in svoje sobe s krivico; ki brez plačil uporablja pomoč svojega soseda in mu ne daje za njegovo delo;
“Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms without justice, who makes his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,
14 ki pravi: ›Zgradil si bom široko hišo in velike sobe‹ in si izreže okna; in ta je obložena s cedrovino in pobarvana z živo rdečo.
who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion.
15 Mar boš kraljeval, ker se zapiraš s cedrovino? Mar ni tvoj oče jedel, pil, izvajal sodbo in pravico in je bilo potem dobro z njim?
Does it make you a king to excel in cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with him.
16 Sodil je primer revnega in pomoči potrebnega; tedaj je bilo dobro z njim. Ali ni bilo to poznati mene?‹ govori Gospod.
He took up the cause of the poor and needy, and so it went well with him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.
17 Toda tvoje oči in tvoje srce sta zgolj za tvojo pohlepnost, za prelivanje nedolžne krvi, za zatiranje in za nasilje, da ga počneš.
“But your eyes and heart are set on nothing except your own dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood, on practicing extortion and oppression.”
18 Zato tako govori Gospod glede Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja: ›Ne bodo žalovali za njim, rekoč: ›Ah, moj brat!‹ ali ›Ah, sestra.‹ Ne bodo žalovali za njim, rekoč: ›Ah, gospod!‹ ali ›Ah, njegova slava!‹
Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19 Pokopan bo s pokopom osla, povlečen in vržen bo naprej onkraj velikih vrat [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
He will be buried like a donkey, dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Pojdi gor na Libanon in jokaj; povzdigni svoj glas v Bašánu in jokaj iz prehodov, kajti vsi tvoji ljubimci so uničeni.
Go up to Lebanon and cry out; raise your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been crushed.
21 Govoril sem ti v tvojem uspevanju, toda praviš: ›Ne bom poslušala.‹ To je bil tvoj način od tvoje mladosti, da ne ubogaš mojega glasu.
I warned you when you were secure. You said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from youth, that you have not obeyed My voice.
22 Veter bo pojedel vse tvoje pastirje in tvoji ljubimci bodo šli v ujetništvo. Potem boš zagotovo osramočena in zbegana zaradi vse svoje zlobnosti.
The wind will drive away all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
23 Oh prebivalec Libanona, ki delaš svoje gnezdo na cedrah, kako pomilovanja vreden boš, ko pridejo nadte ostre bolečine, bolečina kakor ženski v porodnih mukah!
O inhabitant of Lebanon, nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor.”
24 Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod ›čeprav bi bil Konija, sin Jojahína, Judovega kralja, za pečat na moji desnici, bi te vendar od tam izruval
“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.
25 in te izročil v roko tistih, ki ti strežejo po življenju in v roko tistih, katerih obraza se bojiš, celo v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in v roko Kaldejcev.
In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.
26 Vrgel te bom ven in tvojo mater, ki te je nosila, v drugo deželo, kjer nista bila rojena, in tam bosta umrla.
I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.
27 Toda v deželo, kamor se želita vrniti, tja se ne bosta vrnila.
You will never return to the land for which you long.”
28 Ali je ta mož Konija preziran, polomljen malik? Ali je on posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva? Zakaj so izvrženi, on in njegovo seme in so vrženi v deželo, ki je ne poznajo?‹
Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
29 Oh zemlja, zemlja, zemlja, poslušaj Gospodovo besedo.
O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
30 Tako govori Gospod: ›Zapiši tega moža brez otrok, moža, ki ne bo uspeval v svojih dneh, kajti noben mož iz njegovega semena ne bo uspeval, sedeč na Davidovem prestolu in ne bo več vladal v Judu.‹«
This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”
