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 Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, which is the first year of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon;

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

Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke concerning 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 the king of Judah, even until this day, that is now three and twenty years, the word of the Lord 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 the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, making [them] rise early and sending [them]; but ye have not hearkened, and have not 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, O do turn away every one from his evil way, and from the wrongfulness of your doings; and ye shall remain in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers, for from eternity to eternity;

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 bow down to them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not injure you.

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

Yet have ye not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord: in order that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your own hands to your own injury.

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

Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Because ye have not hearkened to 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 the Lord, and to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all these nations round about, and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a derision, and perpetual ruins.

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 banish from them the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, 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 this whole land shall become a ruin and an [object of] 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 completed, that I will visit on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, saith the Lord, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and will change it into 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 over that land all my words which I have spoken concerning it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning 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 when many nations and great kings shall have made them also serve: I will then recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work 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 hath said the Lord the God of Israel unto me, Take the cup of the wine of this fury out of 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 reel about, 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:

And I took the cup out of the hand of the Lord, and caused to drink all the nations, unto whom the Lord 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;

Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a ruin, an astonishment, a derision, and a curse; as it is this day;

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

Pharaoh 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 the confederated nations, and all the kings of the land of 'Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazzah, 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 Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

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

Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all those 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 confederated nations that dwell in the wilderness;

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 Media;

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, that are far and that are 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.

And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Drink ye, and become drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I am sending 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 of thy hand to drink, that thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Ye must 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, on the city which is called by my name, I begin to inflict evil, and ye will remain utterly unpunished? Ye shall not remain unpunished; for a sword am I calling up over 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.

But thou, do thou prophesy concerning them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord will cry aloud from on high, and from his holy habitation will he send forth his voice; he will cry out very loudly over his habitation; the vintner's call, as they that tread out the grapes, will he lift up 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 tumultuous noise cometh even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he holdeth judgment over all flesh: the wicked, —these he giveth 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil goeth forth from nation to nation, and a great storm-wind waketh up from the farthest 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 on that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, nor gathered up, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the surface of 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.

Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and roll yourselves about [in the dust], ye leaders of the flocks; for full are your days for you to be slaughtered, and I will scatter you; and you shall fall like a costly vessel.

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

And lost shall be the place of refuge for the shepherds, and the escape for the leaders of the flocks to escape.

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

There is the voice of the cry of anguish of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leaders of the flocks; for the Lord hath devastated their pasture.

37 Miroljubna prebivališča so posekana zaradi Gospodove krute jeze.

And in silent desolation lie the pasture-lands of peace, because of the fierceness of the 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 hath forsaken his covert, like the young lion; for their land is become desolate, because of the fierceness of the wasting [sword], and because of the fierceness of his anger.
