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.
Of the children of Ammon. The LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell 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.
Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it will become a desolate heap, and her daughters will be burnt with fire; then Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says the LORD.
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.
“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourself in sackcloth. Lament, and run back and forth amongst the fences; for Malcam will go 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?‹
Why do you boast in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come to 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 on you,” says the Lord, GOD of Hosts, “from all who are around you. All of you will be driven completely out, and there will be no one to gather together the fugitives.
6 Potem bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Amónovih otrok, ‹ govori Gospod.
“But afterward I will reverse the captivity of the children of Ammon,” says the LORD.
7 Glede Edóma tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: › Mar v Temánu ni več modrosti? Je nasvet izginil pred razsodnim? Je njihova modrost izginila?
Of Edom, the LORD of Hosts says: “Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has 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! Turn back! Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit 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 came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves came by night, wouldn’t they steal until 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 have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he will not be able to hide himself. His offspring is destroyed, with his brothers and his neighbours; and he is no more.
11 Pusti svoje osirotele otroke, jaz jih bom ohranil žive; in tvoje vdove naj zaupajo vame.‹
Leave your fatherless children. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows 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 the LORD says: “Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup will certainly drink; and are you he who will altogether go unpunished? You won’t go unpunished, but you will 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 I have sworn by myself,” says the LORD, “that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will 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 news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent amongst the nations, saying, “Gather yourselves together! Come against her! Rise up to the battle!”
15 ›Kajti glej, naredil te bom majhnega med pogani in preziranega med ljudmi.
“For, behold, I have made you small amongst the nations, and despised amongst 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.
As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.
17 ›Tudi Edóm bo opustošenje. Vsak, kdor gre mimo, bo osupel in sikal bo nad vsemi njegovimi nadlogami.
“Edom will become an astonishment. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will hiss at all its 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 its neighbour cities,” says the LORD, “no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
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 will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it. For who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who will stand before 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 the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom, and his purposes that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they will drag them away, the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
21 Zemlja je stresena ob hrupu njihovega padca, ob hrupu njihovega krika, ki ga je bilo slišati na Rdečem morju.
The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Sea of Suf.
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, he will come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will 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.
Of Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard evil news. They have melted away. There is sorrow on the sea. It can’t be quiet.
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 grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Kako mesto hvale ni zapuščeno, mesto moje radosti!
How is the city of praise not forsaken, 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.
Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD of Hosts.
27 ›Zanetil bom ogenj v zidu Damaska in ta bo použil palače Ben Hadáda.‹
“I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the palaces 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.
Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, The LORD says: “Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children 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.‹
They will take their tents and their flocks. they will carry away for themselves their curtains, all their vessels, and their camels; and they will cry to them, ‘Terror 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 off! Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says the LORD; “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived 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! Go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care,” says the LORD; “that has neither gates nor bars, that dwells 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.
Their camels will be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a plunder. I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,” says the LORD.
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 be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever. No man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.”
34 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper Elám v začetku kraljevanja Judovega kralja Sedekíja, rekoč:
The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning 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.
“The LORD of Hosts says: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
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.
I will bring on Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them towards all those winds. There will be no nation where the outcasts of Elam will 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.
I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life. I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.
38 Svoj prestol bom postavil v Elámu in od tam bom uničil kralja in prince, ‹ govori Gospod.
I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes,’ says the LORD.
39 ›Toda to se bo zgodilo v zadnjih dneh, da bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Eláma, ‹ govori Gospod.«
‘But it will happen in the latter days that I will reverse the captivity of Elam,’ says the LORD.”
