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.
This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon and against the people of Babylonia.
2 V Babilon bom poslal prepihovalce, ki ga bodo prevejáli in izpraznili bodo njegovo deželo, kajti v dnevu stiske bodo zoper njega naokoli.
I will send foreign soldiers to attack Babylon to winnow her and turn her country into a wasteland—they will attack her from all directions when her time of trouble comes.
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.
The archer doesn't need to use his bow; the infantryman doesn't need to put on his armor. Don't spare her young soldiers; set apart her whole army for destruction!
4 Tako bodo umorjeni padli v deželi Kaldejcev in tisti, ki so prebodeni, na njegovih ulicah.
They will fall down wounded in her streets, killed in the country of Babylonia.
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.
Israel and Judah have not been deserted by their God, the Lord Almighty, even though they sinned against the Holy One of Israel everywhere in their country.
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.
Escape from Babylon! Run for your lives! Don't get caught up in her punishment and die, for this is the time when the Lord pays her back for her sins.
7 Babilon je bil zlata čaša v Gospodovi roki, ki je vso zemljo opijanil. Narodi so pili od njegovega vina; zato so narodi besni.
Once Babylon was a golden cup the Lord held in his hand. She made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine which is why they went 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.
Now, all of a sudden, Babylon has fallen. She has been smashed to pieces. Weep for her; get her some treatment for her pain. Maybe she can 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 tried to heal her, but she couldn't be helped. So give up on her! All of us should go home to where we came from. The news of her punishment has reached everywhere, all the way to heaven.
10 Gospod je privedel našo pravičnost. Pridite, razglasimo na Sionu delo Gospoda, našega Boga.
The Lord has encouraged and supported us. Come on, let's tell people here in Jerusalem what the Lord has done for us!”
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! Pick up the shields! The Lord has encouraged the kings of the Medes, because his plan is directed at the destruction of Babylon. The Lord is paying them back for what happened to 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.
Raise the signal flag to attack the walls of Babylon; strengthen the guard; have the watchmen take their places; get the ambush ready. The Lord planned and carried out his threats against the people of Babylon.
13 Oh ti, ki prebivaš nad mnogimi vodami, obilen v zakladih, tvoj konec je prišel in mera tvoje pohlepnosti.
You people who live beside by many waters, and have so much wealth, this is the time of your end—your life will be cut short.
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.
The Lord Almighty vowed by his own life, saying, I'm going to make sure to fill you with so many enemy soldiers they'll be like locusts. They will shout as they celebrate their victory over you.
15 Zemljo je naredil s svojo močjo, zemeljski [krog] je utrdil s svojo modrostjo in nebesa razprostrl s svojo razumnostjo.
It was God who made the earth by his power. He created the world by his wisdom and by his understanding he put the heavens in place.
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.
The waters of the heavens rain down with a roar at his command. He makes the clouds to rise all over the earth. He makes lightning to accompany rain, and sends the wind from his storehouses.
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.
Everyone is stupid; they don't know anything. Every metalworker is embarrassed by the idols they make. For their images made of molten metal are fraudulent—they're not alive!
18 Te so ničevosti, delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginile.
They are useless, an object to be laughed at. They will be destroyed at the time of their punishment.
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 God of Jacob is not like these idols, for he is the creator of everything, including his own people that are special to him. The Lord Almighty 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;
You are my war club, the weapon I use in battle. I use you to destroy nations; I use you to 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;
I use you to destroy horses and their riders; I use you to destroy chariots and their drivers.
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;
I use you to destroy men and women; I use you to destroy old men and youths; I use you to destroy young men and girls.
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.
I use you to destroy shepherds and their flocks; I use you to destroy farmers and their cattle; I use you to destroy rulers and state officials.
24 In povrnil bom Babilonu in vsem prebivalcem Kaldeje vse njihovo zlo, ki so ga storili na Sionu v vašem pogledu, ‹ govori Gospod.
Right in front of you I'm going to pay back Babylon and everyone who live in Babylonia for all the evil they did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord.
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.
Watch out, because I am against you, you destructive monster who devastates the whole world, declares the Lord. I will reach out to attack you; I will roll you down the cliffs; I will turn you into a mountain of ash.
26 In ne bodo vzeli od tebe kamna za temeljni kamen niti kamna za temelje; temveč boš zapuščena na veke, ‹ govori Gospod.
Nobody will be even able to find themselves a cornerstone or a foundation stone among your ruins, because you will be so utterly destroyed, declares the Lord.
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.
Raise a signal flag in the country! Blow the trumpet call to war among the nations! Get the nations ready to attack her; Summon the kingdoms to march against her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander to lead the armies to attack her; send into battle cavalry like a swarm of locusts.
28 Pripravite zoper njega narode s kralji iz Medije, njihove poveljnike, vse njihove vladarje in vso deželo njegovega gospostva.
Have the armies of the nations prepare for battle against her. This applies to the kings of the Medes, their leaders and all their officers, and every country they rule.
29 In dežela bo trepetala in tarnala, kajti vsak Gospodov namen zoper Babilon se bo izpolnil, da stori babilonsko deželo opustošenje brez prebivalca.
The earth quakes and trembles because the Lord is determined to carry out what he threatened against Babylon—to turn Babylonia into a wasteland where no one lives.
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.
Babylon's defenders have given up fighting—they're just sitting in their fortresses. They're worn out; they've become like frightened women. Babylon's houses are burning; the bars securing her gates have been smashed.
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
A runner hands his message over to another to carry; one messenger follows another messenger, all of them alerting the king of Babylon to the news that his city has been completely conquered,
32 in da so prehodi osvojeni in trstje so požgali z ognjem in bojevniki so zgroženi.‹
the river crossings have been captured, the marshlands set on fire and his soldiers are panicking.
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.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The people of Babylon are like a threshing floor when the grain is trampled out. Her time of harvest will come very soon.
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.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon chewed me up and sucked me dry, making me as empty as a jar with nothing in it. He swallowed me down as if he were some monster, filling himself with the tastiest parts of me and throwing the rest away.
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.
“Babylon must bear the responsibility for the violent attacks on us,” say the inhabitants of Zion. “The people of Babylonia must bear the responsibility for the blood shed in my city,” says Jerusalem.
36 Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, jaz bom zagovarjal tvojo pravdo in se zate maščeval; posušil bom njegovo morje in posušil njegove izvire.
This is what the Lord says: Watch as I present your case for you and make your enemies pay for what they did to you. I'm going to dry up her river and her springs.
37 In Babilon bo spremenjen v razvaline, bivališče za zmaje, osuplost in posmeh, brez prebivalca.
Babylon will be turned into a pile of rubble, a home for jackals, a place that horrifies people, a place they jeer at, a place where no one lives.
38 Skupaj bodo rjoveli kakor levi. Kričali bodo kakor levji mladiči.
The Babylonians will roar together like powerful lions and growl like lion cubs.
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.
But while their passions are aroused, I will serve them a banquet and get them drunk. They'll celebrate so much that they'll pass out and won't ever wake up, declares the Lord.
40 ›Privedel jih bom dol kakor jagnjeta h klanju, kakor ovne s kozli.
I will take them down like lambs to be slaughtered, like rams and goats.
41 Kako je Šešáh zajet! In kako je hvala celotne zemlje presenečena! Kako je Babilon postal osuplost med narodi!
How could it be? Babylon has fallen! The most famous city in the world has been conquered! What a horrible sight Babylon has become to everyone watching!
42 Morje se je vzdignilo nad Babilon. Pokrit je z množico njegovih valov.
It's as if the sea has flooded over Babylon, covering her in crashing 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.
The towns of Babylonia are in ruins, turned into a dry desert wasteland where no one lives—no one even passes by.
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.
I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will force him to spit out what he swallowed. People of other nations won't run to worship him anymore. Even Babylon's wall has fallen.
45 Moje ljudstvo, pojdite ven iz njegove srede in osvobodite vsak človek svojo dušo pred kruto Gospodovo jezo.
My people, come out of her! Each one of you, save yourselves from the Lord's furious anger.
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.
Don't lose courage, and don't be afraid when you hear different rumors going around the country. There'll be one rumor one year, and another one the next, talking about violent revolution, of one ruler fighting against another.
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.
Look, the time is coming when I will punish Babylon's idols. The whole country will be humiliated; it will be full of the dead bodies of those who have been killed.
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.
Then everyone in heaven and on earth will celebrate with shouts of joy at what's happened to Babylon, because the destroyers from the north will come and attack her, declares the Lord.
49 ›Kakor je Babilon storil umorjenim iz Izraela, da padejo, tako bodo pri Babilonu padli umorjeni iz vse zemlje.
Babylon has to fall because of the Israelites and people of other nations she killed.
50 Vi, ki ste pobegnili meču, pojdite proč, ne stojte pri miru. Spomnite se Gospoda od daleč in Jeruzalem naj pride v vaše misli.
Those of you who have managed to escape being killed, leave now! Don't delay! Remember the Lord in this far away place; think about Jerusalem.
51 Zbegani smo, ker smo slišali grajo. Sramota je pokrila naše obraze, kajti tujci so prišli v svetišča Gospodove hiše.
“We are embarrassed because we've been mocked, and we held our heads in shame because foreigners went into the holy places of the Lord's Temple,”
52 Zato, glejte, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, da bom naredil sodbo nad njegovimi rezanimi podobami, in po vsej njegovi deželi bodo ranjeni stokali.
So keep watching, declares the Lord, because the time is coming when I will punish her for worshiping idols, and the sound of wounded people moaning will be heard throughout the country.
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.
Even if Babylon could climb up into the sky to strengthen her high fortresses, those I send to attack her will destroy her, declares the Lord.
54 Zvok krika prihaja iz Babilona in velika poguba od dežele Kaldejcev,
A cry comes from Babylon; the noise of terrible destruction comes from the country of Babylonia.
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 the Lord is going to destroy Babylon; he will put an end to her boastful talk. The waves of attacking army will roar like the crashing sea; the noise of their shouts will echo all around.
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.
A destroyer is coming to attack Babylon. Her soldiers will be taken prisoner, and their bows will be smashed, for the Lord is a God who punishes fairly; he will definitely pay them back.
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.
I will make her leaders and wise men drunk, along with her commanders, officers, and soldiers. Then they will pass out, and won't ever wake up, declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
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.‹«
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Babylon's massive walls will be knocked down to the ground and her high gates burned. All that the people worked for will be for nothing; other nations who came to help will wear themselves out, only to see what they've done go up in flames.
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.
This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he accompanied King Zedekiah of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of Zedekiah's reign. Seraiah was the king's personal assistant.
60 Tako je Jeremija zapisal v knjigo vse zlo, ki naj bi prišlo nad Babilon, celó vse te besede, ki so zapisane zoper Babilon.
Jeremiah had written on a scroll a description of all the disasters that would come to Babylon—all these words written here about Babylon.
61 Jeremija je rekel Serajáju: »Ko prideš v Babilon in boš videl in boš bral vse te besede;
Jeremiah told Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read out loud everything written here,
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 announce, ‘Lord, you have promised to destroy this place so that none will be left—no people or animals. In fact it will be deserted forever.’
63 In zgodilo se bo, ko narediš konec branju te knjige, da boš k njej privezal kamen in jo vrgel v sredo Evfrata
After you finish reading this scroll out loud, tie a stone to it and throw it into 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.
Then say, ‘This is how Babylon will sink and won't ever rise again, because of the disaster I'm bringing down on her. Her people will grow tired.’” This is the end of Jeremiah's messages.
