< Jeremija 49 >

1 Glede Amóncev tako govori Gospod: »Mar Izrael nima sinov? Mar nima dediča? Zakaj potem njihovi kralji podedujejo Gad in njegovo ljudstvo prebiva v njegovih mestih.
Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he not an heir? Why then doth Milcom inherit Gad, And his people dwell in his cities?
2 Zatorej, glejte, pridejo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko bom povzročil alarm vojne, da se bo slišal v Rabi Amóncev in ta bo zapuščen kup in njene hčere bodo požgane z ognjem. Potem bo Izrael dedič tistim, ki so bili njegovi dediči, ‹ govori Gospod.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will cause a cry of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, And she shall become a ruinous heap, And her daughters shall be burned with fire; And Israel shall take possession of their land, who took possession of his.
3 Tuli, oh Hešbón, kajti Aj je oplenjen. Jokajte ve Rabine hčere, opašite se z vrečevino; objokujte in tecite sem ter tja pri ograjah; kajti njihov kralj bo šel v ujetništvo skupaj z njegovimi duhovniki in njegovimi princi.
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament, And run ye to and fro within the fences! For Milcom goeth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
4 Zakaj se ponašaš z dolinami, tvoji tekoči dolini, oh odpadla hči, ki si zaupala v svoje zaklade, rekoč: ›Kdo bo prišel k meni?‹
Wherefore dost thou glory in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow [[with blood]], O perverse daughter, That gloriest in thy treasures, [[Saying, ]] “Who shall come against me?”
5 Glej, nadte bom privedel strah, ‹ govori Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, ›od vseh teh, ki bodo okoli tebe. Izgnani boste, vsak človek naravnost naprej in nihče ne bo zbral tistega, ki tava.
Behold, I will bring a terror upon thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, From all those that are around thee, And ye shall be driven out, every one right forth, And there shall be none to gather up the fugitives.
6 Potem bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Amónovih otrok, ‹ govori Gospod.
But after this will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, saith Jehovah.
7 Glede Edóma tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: › Mar v Temánu ni več modrosti? Je nasvet izginil pred razsodnim? Je njihova modrost izginila?
Concerning the Edomites. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel passed away from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
8 Pobegnite, obrnite se nazaj, prebivajte globoko, oh prebivalci Dedána; kajti nadenj bom privedel Ezavovo katastrofo, čas, ko ga bom obiskal.
Flee ye, turn ye back, Dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Dedan! For the destruction of Esau do I bring, The time of his punishment upon him.
9 Če pridejo k tebi obiralci grozdja, ali ne bodo pustili nekaj paberkovalnih grozdov? Če tatovi ponoči, bodo uničevali, dokler ne bodo imeli dovolj.
If grape-gatherers had come upon thee, Would they not have left some gleanings? If thieves by night, They would have destroyed only till they had enough.
10 Toda jaz sem naredil Ezava razgaljenega, jaz sem odkril njegove skrite kraje in se ne bo mogel skriti. Njegovo seme je oplenjeno in njegovih bratov, njegovih sosedov in njega ni.
But I will make Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding-places, So that he shall not be able to hide himself. His offspring shall be destroyed, and his brethren, and his neighbors, And he shall be no more.
11 Pusti svoje osirotele otroke, jaz jih bom ohranil žive; in tvoje vdove naj zaupajo vame.‹
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive, And thy widows, let them trust in me!
12 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, tisti, katerih sodba ni bila, da pijejo iz čaše, so zagotovo pijani; in ali si ti tisti, ki naj bi odšel čisto nekaznovan? Ne boš odšel nekaznovan, temveč boš zagotovo pil od tega.
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they who ought not to have drunk the cup have deeply drunken, And shalt thou go altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished; Thou shalt surely drink.
13 Kajti prisegel sem sam pri sebi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo Bocra postala opustošenje, graja, opustošenost in prekletstvo in vsa njena mesta bodo neprestane opustošenosti.‹«
For by myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, That Bozrah shall become an astonishment, A reproach, a desolation, and a curse; And all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.
14 Slišal sem govorico od Gospoda in predstavnik je poslan k poganom, rekoč: »Zberite se skupaj in pridite zoper njo in se vzdignite k bitki.«
I have heard a proclamation from Jehovah, And an ambassador hath been sent among the nations, [[Saying, ]] “Assemble yourselves, and come against her, And arise to battle!”
15 ›Kajti glej, naredil te bom majhnega med pogani in preziranega med ljudmi.
For, behold, I will make thee small among the nations, Despised among men.
16 Tvoja strašnost te je zavedla in ponos tvojega srca, oh ti, ki prebivaš v skalnih razpokah, ki držiš višino hriba. Čeprav bi si svoje gnezdo naredil tako visoko kakor orel, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, The pride of thy heart, Because thou dwellest in the recesses of the rock, And holdest the height of the hill. Though thou set thy nest on high, like the eagle, From thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
17 ›Tudi Edóm bo opustošenje. Vsak, kdor gre mimo, bo osupel in sikal bo nad vsemi njegovimi nadlogami.
And Edom shall be an astonishment: Every one that passeth by her shall be astonished, And shall hiss on account of all her plagues.
18 Kakor v razdejanju Sódome in Gomóre in njunih sosednjih mest, ‹ govori Gospod, ›noben človek ne bo vzdržal tam niti človeški sin ne bo prebival v tem.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And their neighboring cities, saith Jehovah, There shall not a man abide there, Nor a son of man dwell within her.
19 Glej, vzpel se bo kakor lev iz naraščanja Jordana zoper prebivališče močnega. Toda naredil bom, da bo nenadoma pobegnil pred njo. In kdo je izbran mož, da bi ga lahko določil nad njo? Kajti kdo je podoben meni? In kdo mi bo določil čas? In kdo je tisti pastir, ki bo stal pred menoj?
Behold, he [[the enemy]] cometh up like a lion from the pride of Jordan against the habitation of the rock; Suddenly will I drive him [[Edom]] thence, And him who is chosen by me will I set over her. For who is like me, Or who will summon me to trial? Or who is the shepherd that will stand up against me?
20 Zato prisluhnite Gospodovemu nasvetu, ki ga je svetoval zoper Edóm; in njegove namene, ki jih je namenil zoper prebivalce Temána: ›Zagotovo jih bo najmanjši iz tropa izvlekel ven. Zagotovo bo naredil njihova prebivališča opustela z njimi [vred].
Therefore, hear ye the purpose of Jehovah, Which he hath formed against Edom, And the designs which he meditateth against the inhabitants of Teman! Surely he [[the enemy]] shall drag them forth like feeble sheep; Surely he shall come upon them, And make their pastures desolate.
21 Zemlja je stresena ob hrupu njihovega padca, ob hrupu njihovega krika, ki ga je bilo slišati na Rdečem morju.
At the noise of their fall the earth trembleth, Even to the Red Sea is their cry heard.
22 Glej, prišel bo gor in letel kakor orel in svoji peruti razširil nad Bocro in na ta dan bo srce mogočnih mož iz Edóma kakor srce ženske v njenih ostrih bolečinah.
Behold, like an eagle, he [[the enemy]] cometh up, And spreadeth his wings over Bozrah; And the hearts of the heroes of Edom, in that day, Shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Glede Damaska. Hamát je zbegan in Arpád, kajti slišala sta zle novice. Boječa sta. Tam je bridkost na morju; ta ne more biti utišana.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath and Arpad are confounded; They faint, because they have heard evil tidings. There is anxiety at the sea; It cannot be at rest.
24 Damask je postal slaboten in se obrača, da pobegne in strah se ga je polastil. Tesnoba in bridkosti so ga prevzele kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
Damascus is faint-hearted; She turneth herself to flee; Trembling hath seized on her; Anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Kako mesto hvale ni zapuščeno, mesto moje radosti!
“Why is not the praised city left, The city of my joy?”
26 Zato bodo njegovi mladeniči padli na njegovih ulicah in vsi bojevniki bodo iztrebljeni na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
Yea, her young men shall fall in her streets, And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
27 ›Zanetil bom ogenj v zidu Damaska in ta bo použil palače Ben Hadáda.‹
Yea, I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, Which shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
28 Glede Kedárja in glede Hacórjevih kraljestev, ki jih bo babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar udaril, tako govori Gospod: ›Vstanite, pojdite gor v Kedár in oplenite može vzhoda.
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, And spoil the sons of the East!
29 Njihove šotore in njihove trope bodo odvzeli. K sebi bodo vzeli njihove zavese in vse njihove posode in njihove kamele; in vpili jim bodo: ›Strah je na vsaki strani.‹
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away; They shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their furniture, and their camels, And men shall cry to them, “Terror is on every side.”
30 Pobegnite, odpravite se daleč proč, prebivajte globoko, oh vi prebivalci Hacórja, ‹ govori Gospod; ›kajti babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar je zoper vas sprejel nasvet in je zoper vas spočel namen.
Flee, get you far off, dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, meditates a design against you, And has formed a purpose against you.
31 Vstani, spravi se gor k premožnemu narodu, ki prebiva brez skrbi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ki nima niti velikih vrat niti zapahov, ki prebiva sam.
Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease, That dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah; Which hath neither gates nor bars; Which dwelleth alone.
32 In njihove kamele bodo plen in množica njihove živine plen, in razkropil jih bom na vse vetrove, tiste, ki so na skrajnih vogalih; in jaz bom privedel njihovo katastrofo od vseh njihovih strani, ‹ govori Gospod.
And their camels shall be a booty, And the multitude of their cattle a spoil; And I will scatter to all the winds them that shave the cheeks, And from every side will I bring their calamity, saith Jehovah.
33 Hacór bo prebivališče za zmaje in opustošenje na veke. Tam ne bo prebival noben človek niti noben človeški sin ne prebiva v njem.‹«
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for jackals, A desolation forever. There shall not a man abide there, Nor any son of man dwell therein.
34 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper Elám v začetku kraljevanja Judovega kralja Sedekíja, rekoč:
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying: —
35 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, jaz bom zlomil Elámov lok, njihovo glavno moč.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, The chief part of their strength.
36 Nad Elám bom privedel štiri vetrove iz štirih četrtin neba in razkropil jih bom proti vsem tem vetrovom; in tam ne bo nobenega naroda, kamor ne bi prišli pregnanci Eláma.
And I will bring against Elam The four winds from the four extremities of the heavens, And I will scatter them to all these winds, And there shall be no nation To which the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 Kajti Elámu bom povzročil, da bo zaprepaden pred svojimi sovražniki in pred tistimi, ki jim strežejo po življenju, in nanje bom privedel zlo, celó svojo kruto jezo, ‹ govori Gospod: ›in za njimi bom poslal meč, dokler jih ne bom použil.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, And before them that seek their life. And I will bring evil upon them, The fierceness of my anger, saith Jehovah. And I will send after them the sword, Until I have consumed them.
38 Svoj prestol bom postavil v Elámu in od tam bom uničil kralja in prince, ‹ govori Gospod.
And I will set up my throne in Elam, And I will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
39 ›Toda to se bo zgodilo v zadnjih dneh, da bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Eláma, ‹ govori Gospod.«
But it shall come to pass in future times, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
