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

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

which Jeremiah the prophet spake to 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 to this day, for three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come to me, and I have spoken to 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.

Also Jehovah hath sent to 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,

“Turn ye now,” said they, “every one from your evil way, and from your evil doings, and ye shall dwell in the land which Jehovah gave to 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 strange gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work 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.‹

But ye have not hearkened to me, saith Jehovah, 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 Jehovah 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 nations of the North, saith Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and a perpetual desolation.

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

Yea, 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 mill-stones, 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 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.

But when seventy years shall have passed, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation for their iniquity, saith Jehovah, and the land of the Chaldaeans, and I will make it a perpetual desolation.

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, 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 they, even they, shall be brought into subjection to many nations and great kings. I will render to 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 hath Jehovah, the God of Israel, said to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand; and let all the nations to which I shall send thee drink of it.

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

Let them drink, and stagger, and become mad because of the sword which I am about to send among them.

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

So I took the cup from the hand of Jehovah, and gave it to all the nations to drink, to which Jehovah 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 Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, and to the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse; [[as it is this day.]]

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

To Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his servants, and to his princes, and to 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 allied people; and to all the kings of the land of Uz, and to all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and to Askelon, and to Gaza, and to Ekron, and to the remnant of Ashdod;

21 Edómu, Moábu in Amónovim sinovom,

to Edom, and to Moab, and to the children of Ammon;

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

and to all the kings of Tyre, and to all the kings of Sidon, and to the kings of the lands which are beyond the sea;

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

to Dedan, and to Tema, and to Buz, and to all that shave the cheek;

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

and to all the kings of Arabia, and to all the kings of the allied people who dwell in the desert;

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

and to all the kings of Zimri, and to all the kings of Elam, and to 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 to all the kings of the North, those that are near, and those that are afar off with respect to each other, and to all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground; 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 say to them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye and be drunken, and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword which I am about to 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 from thy hand to drink, then say to them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely 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, upon the city which is called by my name I begin to bring evil; and shall ye go wholly unpunished? Ye shall not go unpunished; for I am about to call the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah 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.

Therefore, prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: —Jehovah shall roar from on high, From his holy habitation shall he utter his voice; He shall roar aloud against his dwelling-place; A shout like that of vintagers shall he raise 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.

An outcry shall reach to the ends of the earth; For Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; He entereth into judgment with all flesh; The wicked will he give up to the sword, saith Jehovah.

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 Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the extremities 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.

At that day shall the slain of Jehovah lie From one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; They shall not be lamented, nor 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, O ye shepherds, and cry! Roll yourselves in the dust, ye leaders of the flock, For your time to be slaughtered has come! And I will scatter you, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel.

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

The shepherds shall have no way to flee, Nor the leaders of the flock to escape.

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

[[Hark!]] the voice of the cry of the shepherds, And the wailing of the leaders of the flock, Because Jehovah layeth waste their pasture!

37 Miroljubna prebivališča so posekana zaradi Gospodove krute jeze.

Yea, the peaceful pastures are destroyed Because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

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

He hath left, like a lion, his covert; For their land is become desolate, Because of the wrath of the destroying sword, And because of the fierceness of his anger.
