Jeremija 3
1 Pravijo: »Če človek odpusti svojo ženo in gre ona od njega in postane od nekega drugega moškega, ali se bo on ponovno vrnil k njej? Ali ne bi bila ta dežela silno oskrunjena? Ti pa si igrala pocestnico z mnogimi ljubimci; vendar se ponovno vrni k meni, « govori Gospod.
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith YHWH
2 »Povzdigni svoje oči k visokim krajem in poglej, kje vse nisi bila poležena z [njimi]. Na poteh si sedela zanje, kakor Arabec v divjini in deželo si oskrunila s svojimi vlačugarstvi in svojo zlobnostjo.
Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Zato so bili nalivi zadržani in ni bilo poznega dežja; in ti imaš vlačugino čelo; odklonila si, da bi bila osramočena.
Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Mar ne boš od tega časa klicala k meni: ›Moj oče, ti si vodič od moje mladosti?‹«
Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Ali bo svojo jezo hranil na veke? Ali jo bo držal do konca? Glej, govoril si in storil hude stvari, kot ti lahko.
Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 Gospod mi je tudi rekel v dneh kralja Jošíja: »Ali si videl to, kar je storila odpadnica Izrael? Odhajala je na vsako visoko goro in pod vsako zeleno drevo in tam igrala pocestnico.
YHWH said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 Potem ko je storila vse te stvari, sem rekel: ›Obrni se k meni.‹ Toda ni se vrnila. In njena verolomna sestra Juda je to videla.
And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 Videl sem, ko sem jo zaradi vseh vzrokov, s čimer je odpadnica Izrael zagrešila zakonolomstvo, odslovil in ji dal ločitveni list, se njena verolomna sestra Juda kljub temu ni bala, temveč je tudi ona odšla in prav tako igrala pocestnico.
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 Pripetilo se je skozi lahkomiselnost njenega vlačugarstva, da je omadeževala deželo in zagrešila zakonolomstvo s skalami in z lesom.
And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 Vendar se zaradi vsega tega njena verolomna sestra Juda ni obrnila k meni z vsem svojim srcem, temveč hlinjeno, « govori Gospod.
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith YHWH.
11 Gospod mi je rekel: »Odpadnica Izrael se je bolj opravičila kakor verolomna Juda.
And YHWH said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Pojdi in razglasi te besede proti severu in reci: ›Vrni se, ti odpadnica Izrael, ‹ govori Gospod › in svoji jezi ne bom povzročil, da pade na vas, kajti jaz sem usmiljen, ‹ govori Gospod, › in jeze ne bom držal na veke.
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith YHWH; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith YHWH, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Samo priznaj svojo krivičnost, da si se pregrešila zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga in si svoje poti razkropila k tujcem pod vsakim zelenim drevesom in nisi ubogala mojega glasu, ‹ govori Gospod.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against YHWH thy Elohim, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith YHWH.
14 ›Obrnite se, odpadli otroci, ‹ govori Gospod. ›Kajti jaz sem poročen z vami. Vzel vas bom enega iz mesta in dva iz družine in vas privedel k Sionu.
Turn, O backsliding children, saith YHWH; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 Dal vam bom pastirje po svojem srcu, ki vas bodo hranili z znanjem in razumevanjem.
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 Zgodilo se bo, ko boste pomnoženi in povečani v deželi, v tistih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ne bodo več rekli: ›Skrinja Gospodove zaveze.‹ Niti to ne bo prišlo na misel, niti se tega ne bodo spomnili, niti je ne bodo obiskali, niti to ne bo več storjeno.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith YHWH, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of YHWH: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 Ob tistem času bodo [prestolnico] Jeruzalem imenovali Gospodov prestol. Vsi narodi bodo zbrani k njej, k imenu Gospoda, k [prestolnici] Jeruzalem. Niti ne bodo več hodili po zamisli svojih zlih src.
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of YHWH; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of YHWH, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 V tistih dneh bo Judova hiša hodila z Izraelovo hišo in skupaj bodo prišli iz severne dežele k deželi, ki sem jo dal v dediščino vašim očetom.
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 Toda rekel sem: ›Kako te bom postavil med otroke in ti dal prijetno deželo, čedno dediščino vojske narodov?‹ Rekel sem: ›Klicala me boš: ›Moj oče‹ in ne boš se odvrnila od mene.‹
But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Zagotovo, kakor žena zahrbtno odide od svojega soproga, tako ste zahrbtno ravnali z menoj, oh hiša Izraelova, ‹ govori Gospod
Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith YHWH.
21 ›Glas je bil slišan na visokih krajih, jokanje in ponižne prošnje Izraelovih otrok, kajti izkrivili so svojo pot in pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga.
A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten YHWH their Elohim.
22 Vrnite se, vi odpadli otroci in ozdravil bom vaša odvračanja.‹« »Glej, mi prihajamo k tebi, kajti ti si Gospod, naš Bog.
Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art YHWH our Elohim.
23 Resnično, zaman je upati na rešitev duše s hribov in od množice gora. Zares, v Gospodu, našem Bogu, je Izraelova rešitev duš.
Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in YHWH our Elohim is the salvation of Israel.
24 Kajti sramota je od naše mladosti požrla trud naših očetov; njihove trope in njihove črede, njihove sinove in njihove hčere.
For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 Uležemo se v svoji sramoti in naša zmešnjava nas pokriva, kajti grešili smo zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga, mi in naši očetje, od svoje mladosti, celo do današnjega dne in nismo ubogali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against YHWH our Elohim, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of YHWH our Elohim.
