< Jeremija 48 >

1 Zoper Moáb tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »Gorje Nebóju! Kajti ta je oplenjen. Kirjatájim je zbegan in zavzet. Misgab je zbegan in zaprepaden.
Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
2 Moábove hvale ne bo več. V Hešbónu so snovali zlo zoper njega; pridimo in iztrebimo ga pred tem, da bi bil narod. Tudi ti boš iztrebljen, o Madmén; meč te bo preganjal.
There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
3 Glas vpitja bo iz Horonájima, plenjenje in veliko uničenje.
A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
4 Moáb je uničen; njegovi malčki so storili, da se je slišal jok.
Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
5 Kajti ob vzpenjanju Luhíta se bo vzdigovalo nenehno jokanje, kajti ob spuščanju Horonájima so sovražniki slišali krik pogube.
For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
6 Pobegnite, rešite svoja življenja in bodite podobni brinu v divjini.
‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
7 Kajti ker si zaupal v svoja dela in svoje zaklade, boš tudi ti zajet. Kemoš bo šel naprej v ujetništvo skupaj s svojimi duhovniki in svojimi princi.
Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
8 Plenilec bo prišel nad vsako mesto in nobeno mesto ne bo uteklo. Tudi dolina bo propadla in ravnina bo uničena, kakor je govoril Gospod.
The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
9 Daj peruti Moábu, da bo lahko pobegnil in ušel, kajti njegova mesta bodo zapuščena, brez kogarkoli, da bi v njih prebival.
Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.
10 Preklet bodi, kdor dela Gospodovo delo varljivo in preklet bodi, kdor svoj meč zadržuje od krvi.
Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
11 Moáb je bil sproščen od svoje mladosti in se ustalil na svojih drožeh in ni bil izpraznjen iz posode v posodo niti ni šel v ujetništvo. Zato bo njegov okus ostal v njem in njegova vonjava ni spremenjena.
Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.
12 Zato, glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko bom k njemu poslal postopače, ki mu bodo povzročili, da se potepa in izpraznili bodo njegove posode in počili njihove mehove.
Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.
13 Moáb se bo sramoval Kemoša, kakor se je Izraelova hiša sramovala Betela, njihovega zaupanja.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
14 Kako pravite: ›Mi smo mogočni in močni možje za vojno?‹
How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?
15 Moáb je oplenjen in odšel gor iz svojih mest in njegovi izbrani mladeniči so odšli dol k pokolu, ‹ govori Kralj, katerega ime je Gospod nad bojevniki.
Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
16 Blizu je Moábova katastrofa, da pride in njegova stiska silno hiti.
Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
17 Vsi vi, ki ste okoli njega, žalujte za njim; in vsi vi, ki poznate njegovo ime, recite; ›Kako je močna opora zlomljena in krasna palica!‹
Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered— the glorious staff!
18 Ti hči, ki poseljuješ Dibón, pridi dol iz svoje slave in sédi v žeji; kajti plenilec Moába bo prišel nadte in ta bo uničil tvoja oporišča.
Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
19 Oh prebivalec Aroêrja, stoj ob poti in oprezaj; in vprašaj tistega, ki beži in tisto, ki pobegne ter reci: ›Kaj se je zgodilo?‹
Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moáb je zbegan, kajti zlomljen je. Tulite in vpijte. Povejte v Arnónu, da je Moáb oplenjen.
Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
21 Sodba je prišla nad ravno deželo; nad Holón, nad Jahac, nad Mefáat,
Judgment has come upon the high plain— upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 nad Dibón, nad Nebó, nad Bet Diblatájim,
upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
23 nad Kirjatájim, nad Bet Gamúl, nad Bet Meón,
upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
24 nad Kerijót, nad Bocro in nad vsa mesta moábske dežele, daljna ali bližnja.
upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.
25 Moábov rog je odsekan in njegov laket je zlomljen, ‹ govori Gospod.
The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,”
26 ›Opijanite ga, kajti poveličal se je zoper Gospoda. Tudi Moáb se bo valjal v svojem izbljuvku in tudi on bo v posmeh.
“Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
27 Mar vam ni bil Izrael v posmeh? Je bil najden med tatovi? Kajti odkar govoriš o njem, poskakuješ od veselja.
Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
28 Oh vi, ki prebivate v Moábu, zapustite mesta in prebivajte na skali in bodite podobni golobici, ki dela svoje gnezdo na straneh ustja luknje.
Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
29 Slišali smo ponos Moába (on je silno ponosen), njegovo nadutost, njegovo aroganco, njegov ponos in oholost njegovega srca.
We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
30 Poznam njegov bes, ‹ govori Gospod; ›toda to ne bo tako; njegove laži na to ne bodo tako vplivale.
I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
31 Zato bom tulil zaradi Moába in vpil zaradi vsega Moába; moje srce bo žalovalo zaradi mož iz Kir Hêresa.
Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
32 Oh sibmanska trta, jokal bom za teboj z jokanjem Jazêrja. Tvoje rastline so odšle prek morja, segle so celó k jazêrskemu morju. Plenilec je padel na tvoje poletne sadove in na tvojo trgatev.
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
33 Radost in veselje sta vzeta iz obilnega polja moábske dežele. Trti sem velel, da odpove pred vinskimi stiskalnicami. Nihče ne bo mendral z vriskanjem; njihovo vriskanje ne bo vriskanje.
Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
34 Od krika Hešbóna, celó do Elaléja in celó do Jahaca so izgovarjali svoj glas, od Coarja celó do Horonájima, kakor triletna telica, kajti tudi nimrímske vode bodo zapuščene.
There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 Poleg tega bom povzročil, da odneha v Moábu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kdor daruje na visokih krajih in kdor zažiga kadilo svojim bogovom.
In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
36 Zato bo moje srce ihtelo kakor piščali za Moábom in moje srce bo ihtelo kakor piščali za možmi Kir Hêresa, ker so bogastva, ki jih je pridobil, izginila.
Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
37 Kajti vsaka glava bo plešasta in vsaka brada pristrižena. Na vseh rokah bodo vrezi in na ledjih vrečevina.
For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
38 Tam bo splošno žalovanje na vseh hišnih strehah Moába in na njegovih ulicah, kajti zlomil sem Moáb kakor posodo, v kateri ni zadovoljstva, ‹ govori Gospod.
On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,”
39 Tulili bodo, rekoč: »Kako je ta zlomljen! Kako je Moáb s sramoto obrnil hrbet! Tako bo Moáb v posmeh in zaprepadenost vsem okoli njega.‹
“How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
40 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, letel bo kot orel in svoje peruti bo širil nad Moábom.
For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
41 Kerijót je zavzet, oporišča so presenečena in srca mogočnih mož v Moábu bodo na ta dan kakor srce ženske v njenih ostrih bolečinah.
Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
42 Moáb bo uničen pred tem, da bi bil ljudstvo, ker se je poveličeval zoper Gospoda.
Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
43 Strah, jama in zanka bodo nad teboj, oh prebivalec Moába, ‹ govori Gospod.
Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,”
44 ›Kdor beži pred strahom, bo padel v jamo, in kdor vstaja iz jame, bo zajet v zanko, kajti jaz bom to privedel nadenj, celó nad Moáb, leto njihovega obiskanja, ‹ govori Gospod.
“Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,”
45 ›Tisti, ki so zbežali, so stali pod hešbónsko senco zaradi sile. Toda ogenj bo izšel iz Hešbóna, plamen iz srede Sihóna in použil bo Moábov kot in tême upornih.
“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.
46 Gorje tebi, oh Moáb! Ljudstvo Kemoša se pogublja, kajti tvoji sinovi so zajeti [kot] ujetniki in tvoje hčere [kot] ujetnice.
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.
47 Vendar bom v zadnjih dneh ponovno privedel Moábovo ujetništvo, ‹ govori Gospod. ›Tako daleč je sodba od Moába.‹«
Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
