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 Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon;

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

The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, 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 Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of Yhwh hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye 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 Yhwh hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear 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,

They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yhwh hath given unto you and to 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 other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

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

Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Yhwh; that ye 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 Yhwh of Armies; Because ye 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 families of the north, saith Yhwh, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an 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.

Moreover I will take 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 millstones, and the light of the candle.

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

And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and 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 it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Yhwh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and 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 that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the 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 many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own 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 Yhwh God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

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

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

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

Then took I the cup at Yhwh's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom Yhwh had 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 Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

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

Pharaoh 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 the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

21 Edómu, Moábu in Amónovim sinovom,

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 isles which are beyond the sea,

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

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,

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 mingled people 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 Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the 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, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach 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.

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will 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 it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Ye shall certainly 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, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Yhwh of Armies.

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.

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Yhwh shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, 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.

A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for Yhwh hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith Yhwh.

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 Yhwh of Armies, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts 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 Yhwh shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

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 wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

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 principal of the flock to escape.

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 an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for Yhwh hath spoiled their pasture.

37 Miroljubna prebivališča so posekana zaradi Gospodove krute jeze.

And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of Yhwh.

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

He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
