Jeremija 51
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Glej, vzdignil se bom zoper Babilon in zoper tiste, ki prebivajo v njihovi sredi, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene, rušilni veter.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
2 V Babilon bom poslal prepihovalce, ki ga bodo prevejáli in izpraznili bodo njegovo deželo, kajti v dnevu stiske bodo zoper njega naokoli.
and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3 Zoper tistega, ki napenja, naj lokostrelec napne svoj lok in zoper tistega, ki se dviguje v svojem oklepu in ne prizanašajte njegovim mladeničem. Popolnoma uničite vso njegovo vojsko.
Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
4 Tako bodo umorjeni padli v deželi Kaldejcev in tisti, ki so prebodeni, na njegovih ulicah.
And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5 Kajti Izrael ni bil pozabljen niti Juda od svojega Boga, od Gospoda nad bojevniki; čeprav je bila njihova dežela napolnjena z grehom zoper Svetega Izraelovega.
For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Bežite iz srede Babilona in osvobodite vsakdo svojo dušo. Ne bodite odrezani v njegovi krivičnosti, kajti to je čas Gospodovega maščevanja; on mu bo povrnil povračilo.
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
7 Babilon je bil zlata čaša v Gospodovi roki, ki je vso zemljo opijanil. Narodi so pili od njegovega vina; zato so narodi besni.
Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
8 Babilon je nenadoma padel in bil uničen. Tulite za njim; vzemite balzam za njegovo bolečino, če bo tako, da bi bil lahko ozdravljen.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9 Ozdravili bi Babilon, toda ta ni ozdravljen. Zapustite ga in naj gremo vsak v svojo lastno deželo, kajti njegova sodba sega do nebes in povzdignjen je gor, celó do neba.
We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
10 Gospod je privedel našo pravičnost. Pridite, razglasimo na Sionu delo Gospoda, našega Boga.
Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
11 Puščice naredi svetle; zberi ščite. Gospod je vzdignil duha medijskih kraljev, kajti njegov naklep je zoper Babilon, da ga uniči, kajti to je to maščevanje od Gospoda, maščevanje od njegovega templja.
Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Postavi prapor na zidove Babilona, okrepi stražo, postavi stražarje, pripravi zasede, kajti Gospod je tako zasnoval in storil to, kar je govoril, zoper prebivalce Babilona.
Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Oh ti, ki prebivaš nad mnogimi vodami, obilen v zakladih, tvoj konec je prišel in mera tvoje pohlepnosti.
Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
14 Gospod nad bojevniki je prisegel pri samem sebi, rekoč: »Zagotovo te bom napolnil z ljudmi kakor z gosenicami; in vzdignili bodo krik zoper tebe.
Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
15 Zemljo je naredil s svojo močjo, zemeljski [krog] je utrdil s svojo modrostjo in nebesa razprostrl s svojo razumnostjo.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16 Kadar on izusti svoj glas, je na nebu množica vodá; in on povzroča meglicam, da se vzdignejo od koncev zemlje. On dela bliske z dežjem in prinaša veter iz svojih zakladnic.
When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
17 Vsak mož je s svojim spoznanjem brutalen, vsak livar je osramočen z rezano podobo, kajti njegova ulita podoba je neresnica in ni diha v njih.
Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Te so ničevosti, delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginile.
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Jakobov delež ni enak njihovemu; kajti on je tvorec vseh stvari, in Izrael je palica njegove dediščine. Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
20 Ti si moja bojna sekira in bojna orožja, kajti s teboj bom narode razbil na koščke in s teboj bom uničil kraljestva;
Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
21 in s teboj bom razbil na koščke konja in njegovega jezdeca; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke bojni voz in njegovega voznika;
and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
22 s teboj bom razbil na koščke moškega in žensko; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke starega in mladega; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke mladeniča in deklo;
and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 prav tako bom s teboj razbil na koščke pastirja in njegov trop; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke poljedelca in njegov jarem volov; in s teboj bom razbil na koščke poveljnike in vladarje.
and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and rulers.
24 In povrnil bom Babilonu in vsem prebivalcem Kaldeje vse njihovo zlo, ki so ga storili na Sionu v vašem pogledu, ‹ govori Gospod.
And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
25 ›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, oh uničujoča gora, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ki uničuješ vso zemljo. Svojo roko bom iztegnil nadte in te zvalil dol iz skal in te naredil požgano goro.
Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
26 In ne bodo vzeli od tebe kamna za temeljni kamen niti kamna za temelje; temveč boš zapuščena na veke, ‹ govori Gospod.
And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
27 Postavite prapor v deželi, zatrobite na šofar med narodi, pripravite narode zoper njega, skličite skupaj zoper njega kraljestva Ararát, Miní in Aškenáz; določite poveljnika zoper njega; naredite konjem, da pridejo gor kakor dlakave gosenice.
Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
28 Pripravite zoper njega narode s kralji iz Medije, njihove poveljnike, vse njihove vladarje in vso deželo njegovega gospostva.
Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
29 In dežela bo trepetala in tarnala, kajti vsak Gospodov namen zoper Babilon se bo izpolnil, da stori babilonsko deželo opustošenje brez prebivalca.
And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30 Mogočni babilonski možje so se prenehali bojevati, ostali so v svojih utrdbah. Njihova moč je odpovedala; postali so kakor ženske. Požgali so njegova bivališča; njegovi zapahi so zlomljeni.
The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
31 En tekač bo tekel, da sreča drugega in en poslanec, da sreča drugega, da pokaže babilonskemu kralju, da je njegovo mesto zavzeto na enem koncu
Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
32 in da so prehodi osvojeni in trstje so požgali z ognjem in bojevniki so zgroženi.‹
and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Babilonska hči je podobna mlatišču, čas je, da jo mlatijo, vendar še malo in čas njene žetve bo prišel.
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
34 Babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar me je požrl, zdrobil me je, naredil me je za prazno posodo, požrl me je kakor zmaj, svoj trebuh je napolnil z mojimi posladki, vrgel me je ven.
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
35 ›Nasilje, storjeno meni in mojemu mesu, naj bo nad Babilonom; ‹ bo rekel prebivalec Siona in moja kri nad prebivalci Kaldeje, bo rekla [prestolnica] Jeruzalem.
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
36 Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, jaz bom zagovarjal tvojo pravdo in se zate maščeval; posušil bom njegovo morje in posušil njegove izvire.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
37 In Babilon bo spremenjen v razvaline, bivališče za zmaje, osuplost in posmeh, brez prebivalca.
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Skupaj bodo rjoveli kakor levi. Kričali bodo kakor levji mladiči.
They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
39 V njihovi vročini bom naredil njihove praznike in jaz jih bom opijanil, da se bodo lahko veselili in zaspali nenehno spanje in se ne bodo zbudili, ‹ govori Gospod.
When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
40 ›Privedel jih bom dol kakor jagnjeta h klanju, kakor ovne s kozli.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
41 Kako je Šešáh zajet! In kako je hvala celotne zemlje presenečena! Kako je Babilon postal osuplost med narodi!
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Morje se je vzdignilo nad Babilon. Pokrit je z množico njegovih valov.
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 Njegova mesta so opustošenje, suha dežela in divjina, dežela, v kateri noben človek ne prebiva niti katerikoli človeški sin tam ne gre skozi.
Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
44 V Babilonu bom kaznoval Bela in iz njegovih ust bom osvobodil to, kar je požrl. Narodi se ne bodo več stekali k njemu. Da, babilonsko obzidje bo padlo.
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
45 Moje ljudstvo, pojdite ven iz njegove srede in osvobodite vsak človek svojo dušo pred kruto Gospodovo jezo.
Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
46 In da ne bi vaše srce oslabelo in se boste bali zaradi govorice, ki jo bo slišati v deželi; govorica, bo tako prišla v enem letu in potem bo v drugem letu prišla govorica in nasilje v deželi, vladar zoper vladarja.
lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
47 Zatorej glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ko bom naredil sodbo nad rezanimi podobami Babilona in njegova celotna dežela bo zbegana in vsi njegovi umorjeni bodo padli v njegovi sredi.
Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Potem bodo nebo in zemlja in vse, kar je na njej, peli zaradi Babilona, kajti plenilci bodo prišli k njemu iz severa, ‹ govori Gospod.
And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
49 ›Kakor je Babilon storil umorjenim iz Izraela, da padejo, tako bodo pri Babilonu padli umorjeni iz vse zemlje.
As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Vi, ki ste pobegnili meču, pojdite proč, ne stojte pri miru. Spomnite se Gospoda od daleč in Jeruzalem naj pride v vaše misli.
Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 Zbegani smo, ker smo slišali grajo. Sramota je pokrila naše obraze, kajti tujci so prišli v svetišča Gospodove hiše.
— We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
52 Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, da bom naredil sodbo nad njegovimi rezanimi podobami, in po vsej njegovi deželi bodo ranjeni stokali.
— Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Čeprav bi se Babilon povzpel do neba in četudi bi utrdil višino svoje moči, vendar bodo od mene prišli k njemu plenitelji, ‹ govori Gospod.
Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
54 Zvok krika prihaja iz Babilona in velika poguba od dežele Kaldejcev,
The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
55 ker je Gospod oplenil Babilon in iz njega uničil močan glas; ko njegovi valovi rjovijo kakor velike vode, je izusten hrup njihovega glasu,
for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
56 ker je plenilec prišel nadenj, celó nad Babilon in so njegovi mogočni možje zajeti, vsak izmed njihovih lokov je zlomljen, kajti Gospod Bog povračil bo zagotovo poplačal.
For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the God of recompences, will certainly requite.
57 Opijanil bom njegove prince, njegove modre može, njegove poveljnike, njegove vladarje ter njegove mogočne može in spali bodo neprestano spanje in ne bodo se zbudili, ‹ govori kralj, katerega ime je Gospod nad bojevniki.
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
58 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Široki zidovi Babilona bodo popolnoma porušeni in njegova visoka velika vrata bodo sežgana z ognjem; in ljudstvo se bo zaman trudilo in narod v ognju in izmučeni bodo.‹«
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
59 Beseda, ki jo je prerok Jeremija zapovedal Serajáju, Nerijájevemu sinu, Maasejájevemu sinu, ko je s Sedekíjem, Judovim kraljem, odšel v Babilon, v četrtem letu njegovega kraljevanja. In ta Serajá je bil tih princ.
The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
60 Tako je Jeremija zapisal v knjigo vse zlo, ki naj bi prišlo nad Babilon, celó vse te besede, ki so zapisane zoper Babilon.
And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 Jeremija je rekel Serajáju: »Ko prideš v Babilon in boš videl in boš bral vse te besede;
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
62 potem boš rekel: »Oh Gospod, ti si govoril zoper ta kraj, da ga odrežeš, da nihče ne bo ostal v njem niti človek niti žival, temveč da bo ta zapuščen na veke.
and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63 In zgodilo se bo, ko narediš konec branju te knjige, da boš k njej privezal kamen in jo vrgel v sredo Evfrata
And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
64 in rekel boš: ›Tako bo Babilon potonil in ne bo se vzdignil od zla, ki ga bom privedel nadenj in izmučeni bodo.‹« Do tu so Jeremijeve besede.
and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
