Jeremija 23
1 »›Gorje pastirjem, ki uničujejo in razganjajo ovce mojega pašnika!‹ govori Gospod.
Woe be to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
2 Zato tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, zoper pastirje, ki pasejo moje ljudstvo: ›Razkropili ste moj trop in jih odgnali proč in jih niste obiskovali. Glejte, na vas bom obiskal zlo vaših dejanj, ‹ govori Gospod.
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3 Zbral bom preostanek svojega tropa iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal in ponovno jih bom privedel k njihovim stajam; in bodo plodne in se množile.
And I will gather the remnant of my flock from all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 Postavil bom pastirje nad njimi, ki jih bodo pasli, in ne bodo se več bale niti bile prestrašene niti ne bodo trpele pomanjkanja, ‹ govori Gospod.
And I will set shepherds over them who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
5 ›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod ›ko bom Davidu vzdignil pravično Mladiko in Kralj bo vladal in uspeval in na zemlji bo izvajal sodbo in pravico.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth.
6 V njegovih dneh bo Juda rešen in Izrael bo varno prebival. To je njegovo ime, s katerim bo imenovan: GOSPOD, NAŠA PRAVIČNOST.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety: and this is his name by which he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko ne bodo več rekli: › Gospod živi, ki je Izraelove otroke privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, ‹
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 temveč › Gospod živi, ki jih je privedel gor in ki je vodil seme Izraelove hiše iz severne dežele in iz vseh dežel, kamor sem jih pognal; in prebivali bodo v svoji lastni deželi.‹«
But, The LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries where I have driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Moje srce znotraj mene je zlomljeno zaradi prerokov, vse moje kosti se tresejo. Podoben sem pijanemu človeku in podoben človeku, ki ga je vino premagalo, zaradi Gospoda in zaradi besed njegove svetosti.
My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
10 »Kajti dežela je polna zakonolomcev, kajti zaradi priseganja dežela žaluje. Prijetni kraji divjine so se posušili in njihova smer je zlo in njihova moč ni prava.
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 Kajti tako prerok kakor duhovnik sta oskrunjena; da, v svoji hiši sem našel njuno zlobnost, « govori Gospod.
For both prophet and priest are profane; even, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
12 Zato jim bo njihova pot kakor spolzke poti v temi, pognani bodo naprej in padli na njej, kajti zlo bom privedel nadnje, celó leto njihovega obiskanja, « govori Gospod.
Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery paths in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, saith the LORD.
13 Videl sem nespametnost pri samarijskih prerokih. Prerokovali so pri Báalu in mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu povzročili, da zaide na kriva pota.
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 Tudi pri jeruzalemskih prerokih sem videl strašno stvar: zagrešujejo zakonolomstvo in hodijo v lažeh. Prav tako krepijo roke hudodelcem, da se nihče ne vrne od svoje zlobnosti. Vsi so mi kakor Sódoma in njeni prebivalci kakor Gomóra.«
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
15 Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki glede prerokov: »Glej, hranil jih bom s pelinom in jih pripravil piti vodo iz žolča, kajti od jeruzalemskih prerokov je izšla oskrunjenost po vsej deželi.«
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Ne poslušajte besed prerokov, ki vam prerokujejo. Delajo vas domišljave, govorijo videnje iz svojega lastnega srca in ne iz Gospodovih ust.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not from the mouth of the LORD.
17 Tem, ki me prezirajo, nenehno pravijo: ›GOSPOD je rekel: ›Imeli boste mir; ‹‹ in vsakomur, ki hodi po zamisli svojega lastnega srca, pravijo: ›Nobeno zlo ne bo prišlo nad vas.«
They say still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 Kajti kdo je stal na posvetovanju pri Gospodu in zaznal ter slišal njegovo besedo? Kdo je opazil njegovo besedo in jo slišal?
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19 Glej, vrtinčast veter od Gospoda je v razjarjenosti šel naprej, celo bridek vrtinčast veter; ta bo bridko padel na glavo zlobnih.
Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 Jeza od Gospoda se ne bo vrnila, dokler ne izvrši in dokler ne izvede misli njegovega srca. V zadnjih dneh boste to popolno preudarili.
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he shall have executed, and till he shall have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 Teh prerokov nisem pošiljal, vendar tečejo; nisem jim govoril, vendar so prerokovali.
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 Toda če bi stali na mojem posvetu in storili mojemu ljudstvu, da sliši moje besede, potem bi jih obrnili iz njihovih zlih poti in od zla njihovih početij.
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Ali sem jaz Bog pri roki, « govori Gospod »in ne Bog daleč proč?
Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24 Ali se lahko kdo skrije na skrivnih krajih, da bi ga jaz ne videl?« govori Gospod. »Mar ne napolnjujem neba in zemlje?« govori Gospod.
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25 »Slišal sem kaj so rekli preroki, ki v mojem imenu prerokujejo laži, rekoč: ›Sanjalo se mi je, sanjalo se mi je.‹
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 Doklej bo to v srcu prerokov, ki prerokujejo laži? Da, oni so preroki prevare svojega lastnega srca;
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 ki mislijo, da bi mojemu ljudstvu povzročili, da pozabi moje ime s svojimi sanjami, ki jih oni govorijo vsak mož svojemu sosedu, kakor so njihovi očetje pozabili moje ime zaradi Báala.
Who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 Prerok, ki ima sanje, naj ta pripoveduje sanje in kdor ima mojo besedo, naj zvesto govori mojo besedo. Kaj je plevel v primerjavi s pšenico?« govori Gospod.
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29 » Mar ni moja beseda kakor ogenj?« govori Gospod, »in kakor kladivo, ki razbija skalo na koščke?
Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Zato glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki kradejo moje besede, vsakdo od svojega soseda.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31 Glej, jaz sem zoper preroke, « govori Gospod, »ki uporabljajo svoje jezike in govorijo: ›On pravi.‹
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32 Glej, jaz sem zoper tiste, ki prerokujejo lažne sanje, « govori Gospod » in jih pripovedujejo in mojemu ljudstvu povzročajo, da s svojimi lažmi in s svojo lahkomiselnostjo zaide s svojih poti, vendar jih nisem jaz poslal niti jim zapovedal, zato sploh ne bodo koristili temu ljudstvu, « govori Gospod.
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their reckless boasting; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
33 »In ko te bo to ljudstvo ali prerok ali duhovnik, vprašalo, rekoč: ›Kaj je breme od Gospoda?‹ jim boš potem rekel: ›Kakšno breme? Jaz vas bom celo zapustil, ‹« govori Gospod.
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
34 »In kar se tiče preroka, duhovnika in ljudstva, ki bodo rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda, ‹ jaz bom celo kaznoval tistega moža in njegovo hišo.
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
35 Tako boste govorili vsak svojemu sosedu in vsak svojemu bratu: ›Kaj je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je Gospod govoril?‹
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
36 Gospodovega bremena pa ne boste več omenjali, kajti vsakogar beseda bo njegovo breme, kajti sprevračali ste besede živega Boga, Gospoda nad bojevniki, našega Boga.
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
37 Tako boš govoril preroku: ›Kaj ti je Gospod odgovoril?‹ in ›Kaj je rekel Gospod?‹
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
38 Toda ker pravite: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹« zato tako govori Gospod, »Ker pravite to besedo: ›Breme od Gospoda ‹ in sem jaz poslal k vam, rekoč: ›Ne boste rekli: ›Breme od Gospoda; ‹‹
But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
39 zato glejte, jaz, celo jaz, vas bom popolnoma pozabil in zapustil vas in mesto, ki sem ga dal vam in vašim očetom in vas vrgel iz svoje prisotnosti,
Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
40 in nad vas bom privedel večno grajo in neprestano sramoto, ki ne bo pozabljena.«
And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
