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 saith 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 thee to speak to them; diminish not 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 hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent 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,

And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken 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 hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

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.

So 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.

Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt 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 hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against 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 princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entrance 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 the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye 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 princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye 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.

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

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

As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as it seemeth good and right to you.

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.«

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD hath 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 said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath 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 arose 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 Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the 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 beseech the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our 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.

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who 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 princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah 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, namely, 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 brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the burial place 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.

Nevertheless 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.
