Jeremija 27

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

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

2 »Tako mi govori Gospod: ›Naredi si vezi in jarme in si jih položi na svoj vrat

Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,

3 in jih pošlji edómskemu kralju, moábskemu kralju, amónskemu kralju, tirskemu kralju in k sidónskemu kralju, po roki poslancev, ki so prišli v Jeruzalem k Judovemu kralju Sedekíju

And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

4 in jim zapovej, da rečejo svojim gospodarjem: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Tako boste rekli svojim gospodarjem:

And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;

5 ›Jaz sem naredil zemljo, človeka in živali, ki so na zemlji, s svojo veliko močjo in s svojim razširjenim laktom in izročil sem jo, komur se je meni zdelo primerno.

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my out-stretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.

6 Sedaj sem vse te dežele dal v roko svojega služabnika, babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in tudi živali polja sem mu izročil, da mu služijo.

And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

7 Vsi narodi bodo služili njemu, njegovemu sinu in sinu njegovega sina, dokler ne pride pravi čas njegove dežele, potem pa ga bodo zasužnjili mnogi narodi in veliki kralji.

And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.

8 In zgodilo se bo, da narodi in kraljestva, ki ne bodo služili istemu babilonskemu kralju Nebukadnezarju in ki svojega vratu ne bodo položili pod jarem babilonskega kralja, da bom ta narod kaznoval, ‹ govori Gospod, ›z mečem in z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo, dokler jih ne použijem s svojo roko.

And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9 Zato ne prisluhnite niti svojim prerokom, niti vedeževalcem, niti sanjačem, niti uročevalcem, niti svojim čarodejem, ki vam govorijo, rekoč: ›Ne boste služili babilonskemu kralju, ‹

Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:

10 kajti prerokujejo vam laž, da bi vas odstranili daleč od vaše dežele; in da bi vas jaz izgnal in bi se vi pogubili.

For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.

11 Toda narodi, ki svoj vrat privedejo pod jarem babilonskega kralja in mu služijo, tiste bom pustil ostati mirne v njihovi lastni deželi, ‹ govori Gospod; ›in obdelovali jo bodo in prebivali v njej.

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.

12 Tudi Judovemu kralju Sedekíju sem spregovoril glede na vse te besede, rekoč: ›Privedi vaše vratove pod jarem babilonskega kralja in služite njemu in njegovemu ljudstvu in živite.

I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

13 Zakaj bi umirali ti in tvoje ljudstvo, pod mečem, z lakoto in kužno boleznijo, kakor je Gospod govoril zoper narod, ki ne bo služil babilonskemu kralju?

Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

14 Zato ne prisluhnite besedam prerokov, ki vam govorijo, rekoč: ›Ne boste služili babilonskemu kralju, ‹ kajti laž vam prerokujejo.

Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

15 Kajti jaz jih nisem poslal, ‹ govori Gospod, ›vendar v mojem imenu prerokujejo laž; da bi vas jaz lahko izgnal ven in bi se pogubili, vi in preroki, ki vam prerokujejo.‹«

For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you.

16 Govoril sem tudi duhovnikom in vsemu temu ljudstvu, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne prisluhnite besedam svojih prerokov, ki vam prerokujejo, rekoč: ›Glejte, posode Gospodove hiše bodo sedaj v kratkem ponovno privedene nazaj iz Babilona, ‹ kajti prerokujejo vam laž.

Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.

17 Ne prisluhnite jim. Služite babilonskemu kralju in živite. Zakaj bi bilo to mesto opustošeno?

Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?

18 Toda če bi bili preroki in bi bila Gospodova beseda z njimi, naj sedaj naredijo posredovanje h Gospodu nad bojevniki, da posode, ki so ostale v Gospodovi hiši in v hiši Judovega kralja in v Jeruzalemu, ne gredo v Babilon.

But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

19 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki glede stebrov, glede morja, glede podnožij in glede preostanka posod, ki preostajajo v tem mestu,

For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

20 ki jih babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar ni vzel, ko je odvedel proč v ujetništvo Jehoníja, Jojakímovega sina, Judovega kralja, iz Jeruzalema v Babilon in vse plemiče iz Juda in Jeruzalema.

Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

21 Da, tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, glede posod, ki so ostale v Gospodovi hiši in v hiši Judovega in jeruzalemskega kralja:

Yes, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

22 odnesene bodo v Babilon in tam bodo do dneva, ko jih obiščem, ‹ govori Gospod, ›potem jih bom privedel gor in jih ponovno vrnil na ta kraj.‹«

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
