Jeremija 25

1 Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju glede vsega Judovega ljudstva, v četrtem letu Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, kar je bilo prvo leto babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja,

The word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, (the same is the first year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, )

2 ki jo je prerok Jeremija govoril vsemu Judovemu ljudstvu in vsem prebivalcem Jeruzalema, rekoč:

Which Jeremias the prophet spoke to all the people of Juda, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

3 »Od trinajstega leta Jošíja, Amónovega sina, Judovega kralja, celo do današnjega dne, to je triindvajsetega leta, je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda in govoril sem vam, vzdigujoč se zgodaj in govoril; toda niste prisluhnili.

From the thirteenth year of Josias the son of Ammon king of Juda until this day: this is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising before day, and speaking, and you have not hearkened.

4 Gospod je pošiljal k vam vse svoje služabnike preroke, vzdigujoč jih zgodaj in jih pošiljal; toda niste prisluhnil niti nagnili svojega ušesa, da bi prisluhnili.

And the Lord hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ears to hear.

5 Rekli so: ›Sedaj se ponovno obrnite, vsakdo iz svoje zle poti in od hudobije svojih dejanj in prebivajte v deželi, ki jo je Gospod dal vam in vašim očetom na veke vekov,

When he said: Return ye, every one from his evil way, and from your wicked devices, and you shall dwell in the land which the Lord hath given to you, and your fathers for ever and ever.

6 in ne hodite za drugimi bogovi, da jim služite in da jih obožujete in ne dražite me do jeze z deli svojih rok, in vam ne bom storil nobene škode.‹

And go not after strange gods to serve them, and adore them: nor provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands, and I will not afflict you.

7 Vendar mi niste prisluhnili, ‹ govori Gospod; ›da bi me lahko dražili do jeze z deli svojih rok v svojo lastno škodo.‹

And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.

8 Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Ker niste poslušali mojih besed,

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you have not heard my words:

9 glejte, poslal bom in vzel vse družine iz severa, ‹ govori Gospod ›in babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, mojega služabnika in privedel jih bom zoper to deželo in zoper njene prebivalce in zoper vse te narode naokoli in popolnoma jih bom uničil in jih naredil osuplost in posmeh in neprestana opustošenja.

Behold I will send, and take all the kindreds of the north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

10 Poleg tega bom od njih odvzel glas smeha in glas veselja, glas ženina in glas neveste, zvok mlinskih kamnov in svetlobo sveče.

And I will take away from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.

11 In ta celotna dežela bo opustošenje in osuplost; in ti narodi bodo sedemdeset let služili babilonskemu kralju.

And all this land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment: and all these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 Ko pa se dopolni sedemdeset let, se bo zgodilo, da bom kaznoval babilonskega kralja in ta narod, ‹ govori Gospod, ›zaradi njihove krivičnosti in deželo Kaldejcev in naredil jo bom za neprestana opustošenja.

And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual desolations.

13 Nad to deželo bom privedel vse svoje besede, ki sem jih proglasil zoper njo, celó vse, kar je zapisano v tej knjigi, ki jo je Jeremija prerokoval zoper vse narode.

And I will bring upon the land all my words, that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias hath prophesied against all nations:

14 Kajti tudi številni narodi in veliki kralji izmed njih jim bodo služili. Poplačal jim bom glede na njihova dejanja in glede na dela njihovih lastnih rok.‹«

For they have served them, whereas they were many nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their hands.

15 Kajti tako mi govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: »Vzemi vinsko čašo te razjarjenosti pri moji roki in vsem narodom, h katerim te pošiljam, povzroči, da jo pijejo.

For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand: and thou shalt make all nations to drink thereof, unto which I shall send thee.

16 Pili bodo in bodo omajani in zmešani zaradi meča, ki ga bom poslal mednje.‹«

And they shall drink, and be troubled, and be mad because of the sword, which I shall send among them.

17 Potem sem vzel čašo pri Gospodovi roki in vsem narodom, h katerim me je Gospod poslal, sem dal, da pijejo:

And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord sent me:

18 namreč Jeruzalemu in Judovim mestom, njihovim kraljem in njihovim princem, da jih naredim za opustošenje, osuplost, posmeh in prekletstvo; kakor je to ta dan;

To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day.

19 faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju, njegovim služabnikom, njegovim princem in vsemu njegovemu ljudstvu;

Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people,

20 vsemu pomešanemu ljudstvu in vsem kraljem dežele Uc, vsem kraljem dežele Filistejcev, Aškelónu, Gazi, Ekrónu, preostanku iz Ašdóda,

And all in general: all the kings of the land of Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus.

21 Edómu, Moábu in Amónovim sinovom,

And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon.

22 vsem tirskim kraljem, vsem sidónskim kraljem in kraljem otokov, ki so onstran morja,

And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea.

23 Dedánu, Temáju, Buzu in vsem, ki so na skrajnih vogalih

And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round.

24 in vsem kraljem Arabije in vsem kraljem pomešanega ljudstva, ki prebivajo v puščavi

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, that dwell in the desert.

25 in vsem kraljem v Zimríju in vsem kraljem v Elámu in vsem kraljem v Mediji

And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Medes:

26 in vsem kraljem na severu, daleč in blizu, enega z drugim in vsem kraljestvom sveta, ki so na obličju zemlje; in kralj Šešáha bo pil za njimi.

And all the kings of the north far and near, every one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them.

27 Zatorej jim boš rekel: »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Pijte, bodite pijani, bljuvajte, padite in ne vstanite več zaradi meča, ki ga bom poslal med vas.

And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall send among you.

28 In zgodilo se bo, če odklonijo vzeti čašo iz tvoje roke, da pijejo, potem jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Zagotovo boste pili.‹

And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall drink:

29 Kajti, glejte, začenjam prinašati zlo na mesto, ki je imenovano z mojim imenom in ali naj bi bili vi popolnoma nekaznovani? Ne boste nekaznovani, kajti poklical bom meč nad vse prebivalce zemlje, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.

For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.

30 Zato prerokuj zoper njih vse te besede in jim reci: › Gospod bo rjovel iz višine in izustil svoj glas iz svojega svetega prebivališča; mogočno bo rjovel nad svojim prebivališčem; zavpil bo kakor tisti, ki tlači grozdje, zoper vse prebivalce zemlje.

And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 Hrup bo prišel celó do koncev zemlje, kajti Gospod ima pravdo z narodi, pravdal se bo z vsem mesom; te, ki so zlobni, bo izročil meču, ‹ govori Gospod.

The noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations: he entereth into judgement with all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord.

32 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, zlo bo šlo naprej od naroda do naroda in od zemeljskih obal se bo dvignil velik vrtinčast veter.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends of the earth.

33 Umorjeni od Gospoda bodo na ta dan od enega konca zemlje do drugega konca zemlje. Ne bodo objokovani niti zbrani niti pokopani; za gnoj bodo na tleh.

And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth.

34 Tulite pastirji in jokajte; valjajte se v pepelu vodje tropa, kajti dnevi vašega klanja in vaših razpršenosti so dovršeni; padli boste kakor prijetna posoda.

Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.

35 Pastirji ne bodo imeli nobene poti, da bežijo niti glavni od tropa, da pobegnejo.

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves.

36 Slišati bo glas vpitja pastirjev in tuljenje vodje tropa, kajti Gospod je oplenil njihov pašnik.

A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures.

37 Miroljubna prebivališča so posekana zaradi Gospodove krute jeze.

And the fields of peace have been silent, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 Zapustil je svoje skrivališče kakor lev, kajti njihova dežela je zapuščena zaradi okrutnosti zatiralca in zaradi njegove krute jeze.‹«

He has forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
