< 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.
About the people of Ammon, Yahweh says this, “Does Israel have no children? Is there no one to inherit anything in Israel? Why does Molech occupy Gad, and his people live in its 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.
So look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will sound the signal for battle against Rabbah among the people of Ammon, so it will become a deserted heap and its villages will be set on fire. For Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says Yahweh.
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 in lament, Heshbon, for Ai will be devastated! Shout out, daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth. Lament and run about in futility, for Molech is going into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
4 Zakaj se ponašaš z dolinami, tvoji tekoči dolini, oh odpadla hči, ki si zaupala v svoje zaklade, rekoč: ›Kdo bo prišel k meni?‹
Why do you brag about your valleys, your valleys that are so fruitful, faithless daughter? you who trust in your wealth and say, 'Who will 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.
See, I am about to bring terror on you—this is the declaration of Lord Yahweh of hosts— this terror will come from all those who surround you. Each one of you will be scattered before it. There will be no one to gather those running away.
6 Potem bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Amónovih otrok, ‹ govori Gospod.
But after this I will restore the fortunes of the people of Ammon—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
7 Glede Edóma tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: › Mar v Temánu ni več modrosti? Je nasvet izginil pred razsodnim? Je njihova modrost izginila?
About Edom, Yahweh of hosts says this, “Is there no longer any wisdom to be found in Teman? Has good advice disappeared from those who have understanding? Has their wisdom become corrupted?
8 Pobegnite, obrnite se nazaj, prebivajte globoko, oh prebivalci Dedána; kajti nadenj bom privedel Ezavovo katastrofo, čas, ko ga bom obiskal.
Flee! Turn back! Stay in holes in the ground, inhabitants of Dedan. For I am bringing the disaster of Esau on him at the time that I punish 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 harvesters came to you, would they not leave a little bit behind? If thieves came in the night, would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
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 have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his hiding places. So he will not be able to hide himself. His children, his brothers, and his neighbors are destroyed, and he is gone.
11 Pusti svoje osirotele otroke, jaz jih bom ohranil žive; in tvoje vdove naj zaupajo vame.‹
Leave your orphans behind. I will take care of their lives, and your widows can 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 Yahweh says this, “See, those who did not deserve it must certainly drink some of the cup. Do you yourself think you will go without punishment? You will not, for you will certainly 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 I have sworn by myself—this is Yahweh's declaration—that Bozrah will become a horror, a disgrace, a devastation, and an object for cursing. All of its cities will become devastations forever.
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 news from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent out to the nations, 'Gather together and attack her. Get ready for battle.'
15 ›Kajti glej, naredil te bom majhnega med pogani in preziranega med ljudmi.
“For see, I have made you small compared to the other nations, despised by people.
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.
As for your fearsomeness, your heart's pride has deceived you, inhabitants of places on the cliff, you who have occupied the highest hills so that you may make your nest high like an eagle. I will bring you down from there—this is Yahweh's declaration.
17 ›Tudi Edóm bo opustošenje. Vsak, kdor gre mimo, bo osupel in sikal bo nad vsemi njegovimi nadlogami.
Edom will become a horror to everyone passing by it. Every such person will tremble and hiss because all of its disasters.
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.
Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors,” says Yahweh, “no one will live there; no person will stay there.
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?
See, he will go up like a lion from the forests of the Jordan to the green pasturelands. For I will quickly make Edom run from it, and I will put someone who will be chosen in charge of it. For who is like me, and who will summon me? What shepherd is able to resist 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].
“So listen to the plans that Yahweh has decided against Edom, the plans that he has formed against the inhabitants of Teman. They will certainly be dragged away, even the smallest flock. Their pasturelands will be turned into ruined places.
21 Zemlja je stresena ob hrupu njihovega padca, ob hrupu njihovega krika, ki ga je bilo slišati na Rdečem morju.
At the sound of their falling the earth shakes. The sound of distressed shouts is heard at the Sea of Reeds.
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.
See, someone will attack like an eagle, and swoop down and spread his wings over Bozrah. Then on that day, the hearts of Edom's soldiers will become like the heart of a woman in birth labor.”
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.
About Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad will be ashamed, for they have heard news of disaster. They melt away! They become as troubled as the sea, which cannot stay calm.
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 has become very weak. It turns away to flee; terror seizes it. Distress and pain seize it, like the pain of a woman giving birth.
25 Kako mesto hvale ni zapuščeno, mesto moje radosti!
How has the city of praise not been forsaken, the town of my joy?
26 Zato bodo njegovi mladeniči padli na njegovih ulicah in vsi bojevniki bodo iztrebljeni na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
Therefore its young men will fall in its plazas, and all the fighting men will perish on that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.”
27 ›Zanetil bom ogenj v zidu Damaska in ta bo použil palače Ben Hadáda.‹
“For I will light a fire on the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the strongholds of Ben Hadad.”
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.
About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, Yahweh says this to Nebuchadnezzar (now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon was going to attack these places): “Arise and attack Kedar and destroy those people 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 will be taken, along with their tent curtains and all of their equipment; their camels will be led away from them, and men will shout 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! Wander far away! Stay in holes in the ground, inhabitants of Hazor—this is Yahweh's declaration— for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devised a plan against you. Flee! Turn back!
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! Attack the nation at ease, that lives in safety,” says Yahweh. “They have no gates or bars in them, and its people live by themselves.
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.
For their camels will become plunder, and the abundance of their property will become war plunder. Then I will scatter to every wind those who cut the corners of their hair, and I will bring disaster on them from every side—this is Yahweh's declaration.
33 Hacór bo prebivališče za zmaje in opustošenje na veke. Tam ne bo prebival noben človek niti noben človeški sin ne prebiva v njem.‹«
Hazor will become a lair of jackals, a permanent wasteland. No one will live there; no human being will stay there.”
34 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper Elám v začetku kraljevanja Judovega kralja Sedekíja, rekoč:
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This happened at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, and he said,
35 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, jaz bom zlomil Elámov lok, njihovo glavno moč.
“Yahweh of hosts says this: See, I am about to break the bowmen of Elam, the main part of their power.
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.
For I will bring the four winds from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter the people of Elam to all of those winds. There is no nation to which those scattered from Elam will not go.
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.
So I will shatter Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives. for I will bring disaster against them, the fury of my wrath—this is Yahweh's declaration— and I will send the sword after them until I have annihilated them.
38 Svoj prestol bom postavil v Elámu in od tam bom uničil kralja in prince, ‹ govori Gospod.
Then I will put my throne in Elam and will destroy its king and leaders from there—this is Yahweh's declaration—
39 ›Toda to se bo zgodilo v zadnjih dneh, da bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Eláma, ‹ govori Gospod.«
and it will happen in later days that I will bring back the fortunes of Elam—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
