Jeremija 31
1 »›Isti čas, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bom jaz Bog vsem Izraelovim družinam in oni bodo moje ljudstvo.‹
"At that time," says the LORD, "will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people."
2 Tako govori Gospod: ›Ljudstvo, ki je preostalo od meča, je našlo milost v divjini; celó Izrael, ko sem odšel, da mu povzročim, da počiva.‹«
Thus says the LORD, "The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 Gospod se mi je prikazal od davnine, rekoč: »Da, ljubil sem te z večno ljubeznijo, zato sem te pritegnil z ljubečo skrbnostjo.
The LORD appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
4 Ponovno te bom zgradil in boš zgrajena, oh devica Izraelova. Ponovno boš okrašena s svojimi bobniči in šla naprej na plese tistih, ki se veselijo.
Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
5 Še boš sadila trte na gorah Samarije. Sadilci bodo sadili in jih bodo jedli kakor običajne stvari.
Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.
6 Kajti dan bo, da bodo stražarji na gori Efrájim klicali: ›Vstanite in pojdimo gor na Sion h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.‹
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God."'"
7 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prepevajte z veseljem zaradi Jakoba in vzklikajte med vodjem narodov. Razglašajte, hvalite in recite: ›Oh Gospod, reši svoje ljudstvo, Izraelov ostanek.‹
For thus says the LORD, "Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, 'For the LORD has saved your people, the remnant of Israel.'
8 Glej, privedel jih bom iz severne dežele in jih skupaj zbral iz obal zemlje in z njimi slepe ter hrome, skupaj nosečnico in tisto, ki je v porodnih mukah skupaj z otrokom, velika skupina se bo vrnila tja.
'Look, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall they return here.
9 Prišli bodo z jokanjem in s ponižnimi prošnjami jih bom vodil. Povzročil jim bom, da hodijo po ravni poti ob rekah vodá, na kateri se ne bodo spotaknili, kajti jaz sem oče Izraelu in Efrájim je moj prvorojenec.‹
They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.'"
10 Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo: ›Oh vi narodi‹ in razglasite jo na oddaljenih otokih ter recite: ›Kdor je razkropil Izraela, ga bo zbral in ga varoval, kakor pastir stori svojemu tropu.‹
Hear the word of the LORD, you nations, and declare it in the islands afar off; and say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock."
11 Kajti Gospod je odkupil Jakoba in ga izpustil proti odkupnini iz roke tistega, ki je bil močnejši od njega.
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
12 Zato bodo prišli in prepevali na višini Siona in skupaj bodo tekli h Gospodovi dobroti zaradi pšenice, zaradi vina, zaradi olja in zaradi mladičev izmed tropa in od črede. Njihova duša bo kakor namakan vrt in sploh ne bodo več žalovali.
They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and they shall be radient over the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Potem se bo devica veselila na plesu, tako mladeniči in stari skupaj, kajti njihovo žalovanje bom obrnil v radost in jaz jih bom potolažil in jim dal, da se veselijo od njihove bridkosti.
"Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 Dušo duhovnikov bom nasitil z obiljem in moje ljudstvo bo nasičeno z mojo dobroto, ‹ govori Gospod.
I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness," says the LORD.
15 Tako govori Gospod: ›Glas je bil slišan v Rami, žalovanje in grenko jokanje. Rahela, jokajoč za svojimi otroki, je odklanjala biti potolažena zaradi svojih otrok, ker jih ni bilo.‹
Thus says the LORD: "A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great bitterness, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more."
16 Tako govori Gospod: ›Svoj glas zadrži pred jokanjem in svoje oči pred solzami, kajti tvoje delo bo nagrajeno, ‹ govori Gospod ›in ponovno bodo prišli iz sovražnikove dežele.
Thus says the LORD: "Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded," says the LORD; "and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 Upanje je v tvojem koncu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bodo tvoji otroci ponovno prišli k svoji lastni meji.
There is hope for your latter end," says the LORD; "and your children shall come again to their own border.
18 Zagotovo sem slišal Efrájima tako žalovati: ›Kaznoval si me in bil sem kaznovan, kakor bikec nenavajen jarma. Obrni me in bom obrnjen, kajti ti si Gospod, moj Bog.
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Zagotovo sem se pokesal, potem ko sem bil obrnjen; in potem ko sem bil poučen, sem udaril na svoje stegno. Osramočen sem bil, da, celo zbegan, ker sem nosil grajo svoje mladosti.‹
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.'
20 Ali je Efrájim moj dragi sin? Je on prijeten otrok? Kajti odkar sem govoril zoper njega, se ga še vedno iskreno spominjam, zato je moja notranjost zaskrbljena zanj; zagotovo se ga bom usmilil, ‹ govori Gospod.
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him," says the LORD.
21 Postavi kažipote, naredi si visoke kupe. Svoje srce naravnaj proti glavni cesti, poti, po kateri si hodila. Ponovno se obrni, oh devica Izraelova, ponovno se obrni k tem svojim mestom.‹«
"Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 Doklej boš hodila okoli, oh ti odpadla hči? Kajti Gospod je ustvaril novo stvar na zemlji: »Ženska bo obdajala moškega.«
How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man."
23 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »›Še bodo uporabljali ta govor v Judovi deželi in njenih mestih, ko bom ponovno privedel njihovo ujetništvo; ‹ Gospod [naj] te blagoslovi, oh prebivališče pravice in gora svetosti.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity: 'The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.'
24 In tam bodo skupaj prebivali v samem Judu in v vseh njihovih mestih, poljedelci in tisti, ki gredo naprej s tropi.
Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
25 Kajti nasitil sem izmučeno dušo in na novo napolnil vsako žalostno dušo.‹«
For I have satisfied the weary soul, and I have filled every sorrowful soul."
26 Ob tem sem se prebudil in pogledal, in spanje mi je bilo sladko.
On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 »›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom Izraelovo hišo in Judovo hišo posejal s človeškim semenom in s semenom živali.
"Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.
28 In zgodilo se bo, da kakor sem stražil nad njimi, da izrujem, da zlomim, da zrušim, da uničim in da prizadenem, tako bom stražil nad njimi, da gradim in da sadim, ‹ govori Gospod.
It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant," says the LORD.
29 V tistih dneh ne bodo več rekli: ›Očetje so jedli kisel grozd, zobje otrok pa so skominasti.‹
"In those days they shall say no more, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'
30 Temveč bo vsak umrl zaradi svoje lastne krivičnosti. Vsak človek, ki jé kisel grozd, bodo njegovi zobje skominasti.
But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom sklenil novo zavezo z Izraelovo hišo in z Judovo hišo.
Look, the days come," says the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Ne glede na zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njihovimi očeti na dan, ko sem jih prijel za roko, da jih privedem ven iz egiptovske dežele. Tisto mojo zavezo so prelomili, čeprav sem jim bil soprog, ‹ govori Gospod.
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, and I disregarded them," says the LORD.
33 Toda to bo zaveza, ki jo bom sklenil z Izraelovo hišo: ›Po tistih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bom svojo postavo položil v njihove notranje dele in jo zapisal v njihova srca in bom njihov Bog in oni bodo moje ljudstvo.‹
"But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says the LORD: "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
34 Ne bodo več učili vsak svojega soseda in vsak svojega brata, rekoč: ›Spoznajte Gospoda, ‹ kajti vsi me bodo poznali, od najmanjšega izmed njih, do največjega izmed njih, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kajti odpustil bom njihovo krivičnost in njihovega greha se ne bom več spominjal.‹
and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD'; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember no more."
35 Tako govori Gospod, ki daje sonce za svetlobo podnevi in odredbe o luni in zvezdah za svetlobo ponoči, ki razdeljuje morje, ko njegovi valovi rjovijo; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; the LORD of hosts is his name:
36 ›Če te odredbe odidejo izpred mene, ‹ govori Gospod, › potem bo tudi Izraelovo seme prenehalo biti narod pred menoj na veke.‹
"If this fixed order departs from before me," says the LORD, "then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever."
37 Tako govori Gospod: ›Če se lahko izmeri nebo zgoraj in se raziščejo temelji zemlje spodaj, bom prav tako zavrgel Izraelovo seme zaradi vsega tega, kar so storili, ‹ govori Gospod.
Thus says the LORD: "If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the descendants of Israel for all that they have done," says the LORD.
38 ›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo mesto zgrajeno Gospodu, od Hananélovega stolpa do vogalnih velikih vrat.
"Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that the city shall be built to the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 Merilna vrvica bo šla še naprej, vodila bo na hrib Garéb in ga obkrožila do Goe.
The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
40 In celotna dolina trupel in pepela in vsa polja do potoka Kidrona, do vogala konjskih velikih vrat proti vzhodu, bodo sveta Gospodu; ta ne bo več izruvana niti razrušena na veke.‹«
The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever."
