Jeremija 22
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Pojdi dol k hiši Judovega kralja in tam spregovori to besedo
Thus saith 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.
And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter 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 saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver him that is laid waste out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, 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 ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter by the gates of this house kings sitting upon 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 ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith 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 saith the LORD to the king’s house of Judah; Thou art Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and 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.
And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy 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?‹
And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Why hath 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 have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped 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.
Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep bitterly for him that goeth 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 saith the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth from 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 he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and 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 that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
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.
That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is panelled 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?
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and 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 with him: was not this to know me? saith 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 thy eyes and thy heart are only for thy 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 saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
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 thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passes: for all thy 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 thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou didst obey not 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 eat up all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy 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, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, 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, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee from 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 thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, 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.
And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
27 Toda v deželo, kamor se želita vrniti, tja se ne bosta vrnila.
But to the land where they desire 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 idol? is he a vessel in which is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
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 saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
