< Jeremija 22 >

1 Tako govori Gospod: »Pojdi dol k hiši Judovega kralja in tam spregovori to besedo
Thus said the LORD: "Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
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.
Say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter in by 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.
Thus says the LORD: "Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither 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 do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5 Toda če ne boste poslušali teh besed, prisežem pri sebi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo ta hiša postala opustošenje.‹
But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation."
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 thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: "You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
7 Zoper tebe bom pripravil uničevalce, vsakogar s svojimi orožji. Posekali bodo tvoje izbrane cedre in jih vrgli v ogenj.
I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast 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?‹
Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?'
9 Potem bodo odgovorili: ›Ker so zapustili zavezo Gospoda, svojega Boga in oboževali druge bogove ter jim služili.‹
Then they shall answer, 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.'
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, neither bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country."
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 thus says the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went forth out of this place: "He shall not return there any more.
12 temveč bo umrl na kraju, kamor so ga odvedli v ujetništvo in ne bo več videl te dežele.
But in the place where they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more."
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 house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages, and doesn't give him his hire;
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 me a wide house and spacious rooms," and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and painted 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?
Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was 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 judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn't this to know me?' says 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 your heart are not but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it."
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 thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: "they shall not lament for him, saying, 'Alas my brother. or, Alas sister.' They shall not lament for him, saying, 'Alas lord.' or, 'Alas his majesty.'
19 Pokopan bo s pokopom osla, povlečen in vržen bo naprej onkraj velikih vrat [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond 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; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed.
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 spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, 'I will not hear.' This has been your way from your youth, that you did not obey 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 shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for 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!
Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly you will groan when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail.
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 I live," says the LORD, "though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you there;
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.
and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of 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 cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
27 Toda v deželo, kamor se želita vrniti, tja se ne bosta vrnila.
But to the land whereunto their soul longs to return, there shall they not return."
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 broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which none delights? Why are they cast out, he and his descendants, and cast into a land that they do not know?
29 Oh zemlja, zemlja, zemlja, poslušaj Gospodovo besedo.
O earth, earth, earth, 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.‹«
Thus says the LORD, "Write this man down childless, a man who will not succeed in his days; for none of his descendants will succeed in sitting on the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.
