Jeremija 26

1 Na začetku kraljevanja Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, je prišla ta beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from the LORD, saying,

2 »Tako govori Gospod: ›Stoj na dvoru Gospodove hiše in govori vsem Judovim mestom, ki pridejo oboževat v Gospodovo hišo, vse besede, ki sem ti jih zapovedal, da jim jih govoriš; ne zmanjšaj niti besede.

"Thus says the LORD: Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.

3 Če bo tako, bodo prisluhnili in se obrnili, vsak človek iz svoje zle poti, da se lahko pokesam od zla, ki sem jim ga namenil storiti zaradi zla njihovih početij.

It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

4 Rekel jim boš: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Če mi ne boste prisluhnili, da se ravnate po moji postavi, ki sem jo postavil pred vas,

You shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 da prisluhnete besedam mojih služabnikov prerokov, ki sem jih pošiljal k vam; zgodaj sem jih vzdigoval in jih pošiljal, toda niste prisluhnili;

to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;

6 potem bom to hišo naredil podobno Šilu in to mesto naredil prekletstvo vsem narodom zemlje.‹«

then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.'"

7 Tako so duhovniki, preroki in vse ljudstvo slišali Jeremija govoriti te besede v Gospodovi hiši.

The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

8 Pripetilo se je torej, ko je Jeremija končal govorjenje vsega, kar mu je Gospod zapovedal, da govori vsemu ljudstvu, da so ga duhovniki in preroki in vse ljudstvo zgrabili, rekoč: »Zagotovo boš umrl.

It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, "You shall surely die.

9 Zakaj si prerokoval v Gospodovem imenu, rekoč: ›Ta hiša bo podobna Šilu in to mesto bo zapuščeno, brez prebivalca?‹« In vse ljudstvo je bilo zbrano zoper Jeremija v Gospodovi hiši.

Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, 'This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant?'" All the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

10 Ko so Judovi princi slišali te stvari, potem so prišli gor iz kraljeve hiše h Gospodovi hiši in se usedli pri vhodu novih velikih vrat Gospodove hiše.

When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD; and they sat in the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's house.

11 Potem so duhovniki in preroki spregovorili princem in vsemu ljudstvu, rekoč: »Ta mož je vreden, da umre, kajti prerokoval je zoper to mesto, kakor ste slišali s svojimi ušesi.«

Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the officials and to all the people, saying, "This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears."

12 Potem je Jeremija spregovoril vsem princem in vsemu ljudstvu, rekoč: » Gospod me je poslal, da prerokujem zoper to hišo in zoper to mesto vse besede, ki ste jih slišali.

Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and to all the people, saying, "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

13 Zato sedaj poboljšajte svoje poti in svoja dejanja in ubogajte glas Gospoda, svojega Boga, in Gospod se bo pokesal od zla, ki ga je proglasil zoper vas.

Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you.

14 Poglejte, kar se mene tiče, jaz sem v vaši roki. Z menoj storite kakor se vam zdi dobro in primerno.

But as for me, look, I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your eyes.

15 Toda zagotovo vedite, da če me boste usmrtili, boste zagotovo privedli nedolžno kri nadse, nad to mesto in nad njegove prebivalce, kajti resnično me je k vam poslal Gospod, da v vaša ušesa govorim vse te besede.«

Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears."

16 Potem so princi in vse ljudstvo rekli duhovnikom in prerokom: »Ta mož ni vreden, da umre, kajti govoril nam je v imenu Gospoda, našega Boga.«

Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: "This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."

17 Potem so vstali nekateri izmed starešin dežele in spregovorili vsemu zboru ljudstva, rekoč:

Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 »Mihej Moréšečan je prerokoval v dneh Ezekíja, Judovega kralja in govoril vsemu Judovemu ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Sion bo preoran kakor polje in Jeruzalem bo spremenjen v razvaline in gora hiše kakor visoki kraji gozda.

"Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."'

19 Ali ga je Judov kralj Ezekíja in ves Juda sploh dal usmrtiti? Mar se ni bal Gospoda in rotil Gospoda in se je Gospod pokesal zla, ki ga je proglasil zoper njih? Tako bi lahko prihranili veliko zlo zoper naše duše.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the LORD, and seek the favor of the LORD, and the LORD relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.

20 Tam pa je bil tudi človek, ki je prerokoval v Gospodovem imenu, Urijá, sin Šemajája iz Kirját Jearíma, ki je prerokoval zoper to mesto in zoper to deželo, glede na vse Jeremijeve besede.

"There was also a man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21 Ko je kralj Jojakím, z vsemi svojimi mogočnimi možmi in vsemi princi, slišal njegove besede, je kralj iskal, da ga usmrti. Toda ko je Urijá to slišal, je bil prestrašen in pobegnil ter odšel v Egipt.

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.

22 Kralj Jojakím pa je poslal može v Egipt, in sicer Ahbórjevega sina Elnatána in nekatere može z njim v Egipt.

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;

23 Ti so Urijá spravili iz Egipta in ga privedli h kralju Jojakímu, ki ga je usmrtil z mečem in njegovo truplo vrgel v grobove preprostega ljudstva.

and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people."

24 Kljub temu je bila roka Šafánovega sina Ahikáma z Jeremijem, da ga ne bi predali v roko ljudstva, da ga usmrti.

But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
