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 said YHWH: “Behold, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb, My withstanders, 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 have sent fanners to Babylon, And they have fanned her, and they empty her land, For they have been against her, All around—in the day of evil.
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.
Do not let the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have pity on her young men, Devote all her host to destruction.
4 Tako bodo umorjeni padli v deželi Kaldejcev in tisti, ki so prebodeni, na njegovih ulicah.
And the wounded have fallen in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-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 and Judah are not forsaken By his God—by YHWH of Hosts, For their land has been 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 from the midst of Babylon, And let each deliver his soul, Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For it [is] a time of vengeance for YHWH—His, He is rendering repayment to her.
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 [is] a golden cup in the hand of YHWH, Making all the earth drunk, Nations have drunk of her wine, Therefore nations boast themselves.
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 has suddenly fallen, Indeed, she is broken, howl for her, Take balm for her pain, perhaps 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 healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For her judgment has come to the heavens, And it has been lifted up to the clouds.
10 Gospod je privedel našo pravičnost. Pridite, razglasimo na Sionu delo Gospoda, našega Boga.
YHWH has brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of our God YHWH.
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.
Cleanse the arrows, fill the shields, YHWH has stirred up the spirit of the kings of Media, For His purpose [is] against Babylon to destroy her, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, 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 an ensign to the walls of Babylon, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For YHWH has both devised and done that which He spoke, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Oh ti, ki prebivaš nad mnogimi vodami, obilen v zakladih, tvoj konec je prišel in mera tvoje pohlepnosti.
O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Your end has come—the measure of your dishonest gain.
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.
YHWH of Hosts has sworn by Himself, That, Surely I have filled you [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against you—shouting.
15 Zemljo je naredil s svojo močjo, zemeljski [krog] je utrdil s svojo modrostjo in nebesa razprostrl s svojo razumnostjo.
Making [the] earth by His power, Establishing [the] world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
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.
At the voice He gives forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And He brings out wind from 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 has been brutish by knowledge, Everyone has been put to shame—from refining a carved 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 errors, They perish in the time of their inspection.
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 these, For He is forming the whole, And [Israel is] the tribe of His inheritance, YHWH 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;
You [are] My shatterer—weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces nations by you, And I have destroyed kingdoms by you,
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 I have broken in pieces horse and its rider by you, And I have broken in pieces chariot and its charioteer by you,
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 I have broken in pieces man and woman by you, And I have broken in pieces old and young by you, And I have broken in pieces young man and virgin by you,
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 I have broken in pieces shepherd and his drove by you, And I have broken in pieces farmer and his team by you, And I have broken in pieces governors and prefects by you.
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 have repaid to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes,” a declaration of YHWH.
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 you, O destroying mountain,” A declaration of YHWH, “That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against you, And I have rolled you from the rocks, And given you for a burnt 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 do not take out of you a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For you are continuous desolations,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 an ensign in the land, Blow a horn among nations, Sanctify nations against it, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint an infant head against it, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
28 Pripravite zoper njega narode s kralji iz Medije, njihove poveljnike, vse njihove vladarje in vso deželo njegovega gospostva.
Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its 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 shakes, and it is pained, For the purposes of YHWH have stood against Babylon, 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 of Babylon have ceased to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Their might has failed, they have become [as] women, They have burned her dwelling places, Her bars have been 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
Runner runs to meet runner, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For his city has been captured—at the extremity.
32 in da so prehodi osvojeni in trstje so požgali z ognjem in bojevniki so zgroženi.‹
And the passages have been captured, And they have burned the reeds with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing—yet a little [while], And the time of her harvest has come.
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.
Devoured us, crushed us, has Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, He has set us [as] an empty vessel, He has swallowed us as a dragon, He has filled his belly with my delicacies, He has driven us 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.
My wrong, and [that of] my flesh, [is] on Babylon—The inhabitant of Zion says; And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea—Jerusalem says.
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am pleading your cause, And I have avenged your vengeance, And dried up her sea, and made her fountains dry.
37 In Babilon bo spremenjen v razvaline, bivališče za zmaje, osuplost in posmeh, brez prebivalca.
And Babylon has been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Skupaj bodo rjoveli kakor levi. Kričali bodo kakor levji mladiči.
They roar together as young lions, They have shaken themselves 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.
In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a continuous sleep, And do not awaken,” a declaration of YHWH.
40 ›Privedel jih bom dol kakor jagnjeta h klanju, kakor ovne s kozli.
“I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with male goats.
41 Kako je Šešáh zajet! In kako je hvala celotne zemlje presenečena! Kako je Babilon postal osuplost med narodi!
How Sheshach has been captured, Indeed, the praise of the whole earth is caught, How Babylon has been for an astonishment among nations.
42 Morje se je vzdignilo nad Babilon. Pokrit je z množico njegovih valov.
The sea has come up over Babylon, She has been covered with a multitude of its billows.
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 have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land—none dwell in them, Nor does a son of man pass over into them.
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 have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed—from his mouth, And nations no longer flow to him, Also the wall of Babylon has fallen.
45 Moje ljudstvo, pojdite ven iz njegove srede in osvobodite vsak človek svojo dušo pred kruto Gospodovo jezo.
Go forth from her midst, O My people, And let each deliver his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH,
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.
And lest your heart be tender, And you are afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And the report has come in [one] year, And after it [another] report in [another] year, And violence [is] in the land, 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, And I have seen after the carved images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones fall in its midst.
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 heavens and earth and all that [is] in them Have cried aloud against Babylon, For the spoilers come to her from the north,” A declaration of YHWH.
49 ›Kakor je Babilon storil umorjenim iz Izraela, da padejo, tako bodo pri Babilonu padli umorjeni iz vse zemlje.
“As Babylon [has caused the] pierced of Israel to fall, So they of Babylon have fallen, You pierced 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.
You escaped of the sword, go on, do not stand, Remember YHWH from afar, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
51 Zbegani smo, ker smo slišali grajo. Sramota je pokrila naše obraze, kajti tujci so prišli v svetišča Gospodove hiše.
We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Shame has covered our faces, For strangers have come in against the sanctuaries of the house of YHWH.
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 are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have seen after her carved images, And the wounded groan in all her land.
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.
Because Babylon goes up to the heavens, And because she fortifies the high place of her strength, Spoilers come into her from Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
54 Zvok krika prihaja iz Babilona in velika poguba od dežele Kaldejcev,
“A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
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 YHWH is spoiling Babylon, And has destroyed her great voice, And her billows have sounded as many waters, Their voice has given forth a noise.
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 a spoiler has come in against her—against Babylon, And her mighty ones have been captured, Their bows have been broken, For the God of recompenses—YHWH—certainly repays.
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 have caused her princes to drink, And her wise men, her governors, And her prefects, and her mighty ones, And they have slept a continuous sleep, And they do not awaken—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: The wall of Babylon—The broad one—is made utterly bare, And her high gates are burned with fire, And peoples labor in vain, And nations in fire, and have been 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 has commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign—and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
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 writes all the calamity that comes to Babylon on one scroll—all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 Jeremija je rekel Serajáju: »Ko prideš v Babilon in boš videl in boš bral vse te besede;
And Jeremiah says to Seraiah, “When you enter Babylon, then you have seen, and have 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 have said: YHWH, You have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even to livestock, for it is a continuous desolation.
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 has come to pass, when you finish reading this scroll, you bind a stone to it, and have 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 said, Thus Babylon sinks, and she does not arise, because of the calamity that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.” Until now [are the] words of Jeremiah.
