Jeremija 44
1 Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju glede vseh Judov, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi, ki prebivajo v Migdólu, v Tahpanhésu, v Nofu in v deželi Patrós, rekoč:
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwelt in the land of Egypt, who dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Videli ste vse zlo, ki sem ga privedel nad Jeruzalem in nad vsa Judova mesta, in glejte, ta dan so ta opustošenje in noben človek ne prebiva tam
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah. And, behold, this day they are a desolation. And no man dwells therein
3 zaradi njihove zlobnosti, ki so jo zagrešili, da me dražijo do jeze v tem, da so odšli zažigat kadilo in da služijo drugim bogovom, ki jih niso poznali niti oni, da, niti vaši očetje.
because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, that they knew not, neither they, nor ye, nor your fathers.
4 Vendar sem vam pošiljal vse svoje služabnike preroke, vzdigujoče zgodaj in jih pošiljal, rekoč: ›O ne storite te gnusne stvari, ki jo sovražim.‹
However I sent all my servants the prophets to you, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.
5 Toda niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, da se odvrnejo od svoje zlobnosti, da ne bi zažigali kadila drugim bogovom.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.
6 Zato sta bila moj bes in moja jeza izlita naprej in vžgana v Judovih mestih in na ulicah Jeruzalema; in ta so opustošena in zapuščena kakor ta dan.‹
Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.
7 Zaradi tega sedaj tako govori Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Zakaj ste zagrešili to veliko zlo zoper svoje duše, da izmed sebe iztrebite moškega in žensko, otroka in dojenčka, ven iz Juda, da nikogar ne pustite, da preostane.
Therefore now thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do ye commit this great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining,
8 V čem ste me dražili do besa z deli svojih rok, zažigajoč kadilo drugim bogovom v egiptovski deželi, kamor ste odšli, da prebivate, da se lahko sami odrežete in da ste lahko prekletstvo in graja med vsemi narodi zemlje?‹
in that ye provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where ye have gone to sojourn, that ye may be cut off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Mar ste pozabili zlobnost svojih očetov, zlobnost Judovih kraljev, zlobnost njihovih žena, svojo lastno zlobnost in zlobnost svojih žena, ki so jo zagrešili v Judovi deželi in na ulicah Jeruzalema?
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 Niso se ponižali celó do tega dne, niti se niso bali, niti hodili po moji postavi, niti po mojih zakonih, ki sem jih postavil pred vas in vaše očete.
They are not humbled even to this day. Neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
11 Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glejte, svoj obraz bom naravnal zoper vas za zlo in da iztrebim vsega Juda.
Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12 Vzel bom preostanek Juda, ki so svoje obraze naravnali, da gredo v egiptovsko deželo, da začasno prebivajo tam in vsi bodo použiti in padli v egiptovski deželi; torej použiti bodo z mečem in z lakoto. Umrli bodo, od najmanjših celo do največjih, z mečem in z lakoto, in bodo preziranje in osuplost, prekletstvo in graja.
And I will take the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed. In the land of Egypt they shall fall. They shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine, and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13 Kajti kaznoval bom tiste, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi, kakor sem kaznoval Jeruzalem, z mečem, z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo,
For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence,
14 tako da ne bo nihče izmed Judovega preostanka, ki so odšli v egiptovsko deželo, da začasno prebivajo tam, ušel ali preostal, da bi se vrnil v Judovo deželo, h kateri so imeli željo, da se vrnejo, da prebivajo tam. Kajti nihče se ne bo vrnil, razen tistih, ki bodo pobegnili.‹«
so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there. For none shall return except such as shall escape.
15 Potem so vsi možje, ki so vedeli, da so njihove žene zažigale kadilo drugim bogovom in vse ženske, ki so stale poleg, velika množica, celo vse ljudstvo, ki prebiva v egiptovski deželi, v Patrósu, odgovorili Jeremiju, rekoč:
Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16 » Glede na besedo, ki si nam jo govoril v imenu Gospoda, ti ne bomo prisluhnili,
As for the word that thou have spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken to thee.
17 temveč bomo zagotovo počeli katerokoli stvar, izhajajočo iz naših lastnih ust, da zažigamo kadilo kraljici neba in da ji izlivamo pitne daritve, kakor smo počeli mi in naši očetje, naši kralji in naši princi v Judovih mestih in na ulicah Jeruzalema, kajti tedaj smo imeli obilico živeža in smo bili dobro in nismo videli zla.
But we will certainly perform every word that has gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our rulers, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 Toda odkar smo prenehali zažigati kadilo kraljici neba in ji izlivati pitne daritve, smo bili v potrebi vseh stvari in smo použiti z mečem in z lakoto.«
But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
19 »In ko smo zažigale kadilo kraljici neba in ji izlivale pitne daritve, mar smo ji naredile kolačke, da jo obožujemo in ji izlivale pitne daritve, brez naših moških?«
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
20 Potem je Jeremija rekel vsemu ljudstvu, moškim in ženskam in vsemu ljudstvu, ki mu je dalo ta odgovor, rekoč:
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him that answer, saying,
21 »Kadilo, ki ste ga zažigali po Judovih mestih in po ulicah Jeruzalema, vi in vaši očetje, vaši kralji, vaši princi in ljudstvo dežele, ali se jih ni Gospod spomnil in ali to ni prišlo v njegov um?
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your rulers, and the people of the land, did Jehovah not remember them, and did it not come into his mind?
22 Tako da Gospod ni mogel več trpeti zaradi zla vaših početij in zaradi ogabnosti, ki ste jih zagrešili; zato je vaša dežela opustošenje, osuplost in prekletstvo, brez prebivalca, kakor na ta dan.
So that Jehovah could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
23 Ker ste zažigali kadilo in ker ste grešili zoper Gospoda in niste ubogali Gospodovega glasu, niti hodili po njegovi postavi, niti po njegovih zakonih, niti po njegovih pričevanjih, zato se vam je zgodilo to zlo, kakor na ta dan.«
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies, therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day.
24 Poleg tega je Jeremija rekel vsemu ljudstvu in vsem ženskam: »Poslušajte besedo od Gospoda, ves Juda, ki ste v egiptovski deželi:
Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:
25 ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, rekoč: ›Vi in vaše žene ste tako govorili s svojimi usti in s svojo roko izpolnili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bomo izvajali svoje zaobljube, ki smo se jih zaobljubili, da zažigamo kadilo kraljici neba in da ji izlivamo pitne daritve.‹ Zagotovo boste dokončali svoje zaobljube in zagotovo boste izvedli svoje zaobljube.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her. Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.
26 Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda, ves Juda, ki prebiva v egiptovski deželi: ›Glejte, prisegel sem pri svojem velikem imenu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da moje ime ne bo več imenovano v ustih kateregakoli moškega iz Juda in po vsej egiptovski deželi, rekoč: ›Gospod Bog živi.‹
Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the lord Jehovah lives.
27 Glej, bedel bom nad njimi za zlo in ne za dobro; in vsi Judovi možje, ki so v egiptovski deželi, bodo použiti z mečem in z lakoto, dokler jih ne bo konec.
Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good. And all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there is an end of them.
28 Vendar se bo malo število, ki pobegne meču, vrnilo iz egiptovske dežele v Judovo deželo in ves preostanek Juda, ki so odšli v egiptovsko deželo, da tam začasno prebiva, bo vedel čigave besede bodo obstale, moje ali njihove.
And those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number. And all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
29 To vam bo znamenje, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da vas bom kaznoval na tem kraju, da boste lahko vedeli, da bodo moje besede zagotovo obstale zoper vas v zlo.‹
And this shall be the sign to you, says Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
30 Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, izročil bom faraona Hofrája, egiptovskega kralja, v roko njegovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki strežejo po njegovem življenju, kakor sem Judovega kralja Sedekíja izročil v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, njegovega sovražnika in ki je stregel po njegovem življenju.‹«
Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.
