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.
“Yahweh says this: See, I am about to stir up a wind of destruction against Babylon and against those who live in Leb Kamai.
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 foreigners to Babylon. They will scatter her and devastate her land, for they will come against her from all around on the day of disaster.
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 archers bend their bows; do not let them put on armor. Do not spare her young men; set her whole army apart for destruction.
4 Tako bodo umorjeni padli v deželi Kaldejcev in tisti, ki so prebodeni, na njegovih ulicah.
For the wounded people will fall in the land of the Chaldeans; those who are killed will fall 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 their God, by Yahweh of hosts, although their land is filled with offenses committed 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; let each man save himself. Do not perish in her iniquity. For it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance. He will repay all of it 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 was a golden cup in the hand of Yahweh that made all the world drunk; nations drank her wine and became insane.
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 will fall suddenly and be destroyed. Wail for her! Give her medicine for her pain; perhaps 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 wished to heal Babylon, but she is not healed. Let us all leave her and go away, to our own land. For her guilt reaches up to the heavens; it is piled up to the clouds.
10 Gospod je privedel našo pravičnost. Pridite, razglasimo na Sionu delo Gospoda, našega Boga.
Yahweh has declared our innocence. Come, let us tell in Zion the deeds of Yahweh 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 and take up the shields. Yahweh is stirring up the spirit of the king of the Medes in a plan to destroy Babylon. This is for Yahweh's vengeance, vengeance for the destruction 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 over Babylon's walls; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD will do what he has said concerning the inhabitants 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 by many streams of water, you people who are rich with treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is now 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.
Yahweh of hosts has sworn by his own life, 'I will fill you with men, like a swarm of locusts, and they will raise a battle cry against you.'
15 Zemljo je naredil s svojo močjo, zemeljski [krog] je utrdil s svojo modrostjo in nebesa razprostrl s svojo razumnostjo.
He has made the earth by his power; he set in place the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he 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.
When he thunders, there is the roar of waters in the heavens, for he brings up the mist from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for rain and sends out 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.
Every man has become ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds, and there is no life in them.
18 Te so ničevosti, delo zmot. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo izginile.
They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish 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.
But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh 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 war hammer, my weapon for battle. With you I will smash nations and 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;
With you I will smash horses and their riders; with you I will smash 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;
With you I will smash each man and woman; with you I will smash the old and the young. With you I will smash the young men and the virgin 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.
With you I will smash the shepherds and their flocks; with you I will smash the plowmen and their teams. With you I will smash the governors and officials.
24 In povrnil bom Babilonu in vsem prebivalcem Kaldeje vse njihovo zlo, ki so ga storili na Sionu v vašem pogledu, ‹ govori Gospod.
For in your sight I will pay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all of the evil that they did in Zion—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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.
See, I am against you, mountain of destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—which destroys the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain.
26 In ne bodo vzeli od tebe kamna za temeljni kamen niti kamna za temelje; temveč boš zapuščena na veke, ‹ govori Gospod.
So they will not take from you any stone to construct a building's corner or foundation; for you will become an everlasting devastation—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 over the earth. Blow the trumpet over the nations. Call the nations to attack her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander to attack her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
28 Pripravite zoper njega narode s kralji iz Medije, njihove poveljnike, vse njihove vladarje in vso deželo njegovega gospostva.
Prepare the nations to attack her: The kings of the Medes and his governors, all of his officials and all the lands under his rule.
29 In dežela bo trepetala in tarnala, kajti vsak Gospodov namen zoper Babilon se bo izpolnil, da stori babilonsko deželo opustošenje brez prebivalca.
For the land will shake and be in anguish, since Yahweh's plans continue against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a wasteland where there is no 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 soldiers in Babylon have stopped fighting; they stay in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they have become women—her homes are on fire, the bars of her gates 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
A messenger runs to proclaim to another messenger, and a runner tells another runner to report to the king of Babylon that his city has been taken from end to end.
32 in da so prehodi osvojeni in trstje so požgali z ognjem in bojevniki so zgroženi.‹
So the fords over the river are seized; the enemy is burning the reed marshes, and Babylon's fighting men are confused.
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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. It is time to trample her down. In a little while the time of harvest will come to 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.
'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me, he has driven me into confusion and has made me an empty pot. Like a monster he has swallowed me, he has filled his stomach with my delicious foods, and then he has spit 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 one who lives in Zion will say, 'May the violence done to me and my flesh be on Babylon.' Jerusalem will say, 'May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea.'
36 Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, jaz bom zagovarjal tvojo pravdo in se zate maščeval; posušil bom njegovo morje in posušil njegove izvire.
Therefore Yahweh says this: See, I am about to plead your case and bring about vengeance for you. For I will dry up Babylon's waters and make her springs run dry.
37 In Babilon bo spremenjen v razvaline, bivališče za zmaje, osuplost in posmeh, brez prebivalca.
Babylon will become heaps of rubble, a den of jackals, a horror, an object of hissing, where there are no inhabitants.
38 Skupaj bodo rjoveli kakor levi. Kričali bodo kakor levji mladiči.
The Babylonians will roar together like young lions. They will 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.
When they become hot with greed, I will make a feast for them; I will make them drunk so they become happy, and then sleep an unending sleep and not wake up—this is Yahweh's declaration—
40 ›Privedel jih bom dol kakor jagnjeta h klanju, kakor ovne s kozli.
I will send them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41 Kako je Šešáh zajet! In kako je hvala celotne zemlje presenečena! Kako je Babilon postal osuplost med narodi!
How Babylon has been captured! So the praise of all the earth is seized. How Babylon has become a ruined place among the nations.
42 Morje se je vzdignilo nad Babilon. Pokrit je z množico njegovih valov.
The sea has come up over Babylon! She is covered with its roaring 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 have become a desolation, a dry land and a wilderness, a land that no one inhabits, and no human being passes through.
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.
So I will punish Bel in Babylon; I will bring out from his mouth what he swallowed, and the nations will no longer flow to him with their offerings. The walls of Babylon will fall.
45 Moje ljudstvo, pojdite ven iz njegove srede in osvobodite vsak človek svojo dušo pred kruto Gospodovo jezo.
Go out from her midst, my people. Let each of you save his own life from the fury of my wrath.
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.
Do not let your hearts be timid or fear the news that is heard in the land, for the news will come one year. After it in the next year there will be news, and violence will be in the land. Ruler will be 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, see, days are coming when I will punish the carved idols of Babylon. All of her land will be ashamed, and all of her slaughtered ones will fall in her 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.
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them will rejoice over Babylon. For destroyers will come for her from the north—this is Yahweh's declaration.
49 ›Kakor je Babilon storil umorjenim iz Izraela, da padejo, tako bodo pri Babilonu padli umorjeni iz vse zemlje.
As Babylon has made the killed of Israel fall, so the killed of all her land will fall in Babylon.
50 Vi, ki ste pobegnili meču, pojdite proč, ne stojte pri miru. Spomnite se Gospoda od daleč in Jeruzalem naj pride v vaše misli.
Survivors of the sword, go away! Do not stay still. Call Yahweh to mind from far away; let Jerusalem come to mind.
51 Zbegani smo, ker smo slišali grajo. Sramota je pokrila naše obraze, kajti tujci so prišli v svetišča Gospodove hiše.
We are ashamed, for we have heard insults; reproach has covered our faces, for foreigners have entered the holy places of Yahweh'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, see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish her carved idols, and the wounded people will groan in all of 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.
For even if Babylon went up to the heavens or fortified her highest fortresses, destroyers would come from me to her—this is Yahweh's declaration.
54 Zvok krika prihaja iz Babilona in velika poguba od dežele Kaldejcev,
A shout of distress came from Babylon, a great collapse 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 Yahweh is destroying Babylon. He is causing her loud voice to perish. Their enemies roar like the waves of many waters; their noise becomes very strong.
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 destroyers have come against her—against Babylon!—and her warriors have been captured. Their bows are broken, for Yahweh is the God of vengeance; he will surely carry out this repayment.
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.
For I will make her princes, her sages, her officials, and her soldiers drunk, and they will sleep in an unending sleep and never wake up —this is the King's declaration: Yahweh 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.‹«
Yahweh of hosts says this: The thick walls of Babylon will be completely demolished, and her high gates will be burned. Then the peoples coming to her aid will labor uselessly; everything that the nations try to do for her will be burned up.”
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 word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was a chief officer.
60 Tako je Jeremija zapisal v knjigo vse zlo, ki naj bi prišlo nad Babilon, celó vse te besede, ki so zapisane zoper Babilon.
For Jeremiah had written in a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come on Babylon—all these words that were written about Babylon.
61 Jeremija je rekel Serajáju: »Ko prideš v Babilon in boš videl in boš bral vse te besede;
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you go to Babylon, then you will see and you will read these words aloud.
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.
Then you will say, 'Yahweh, you yourself have declared that you would destroy this place, and that no man or animal will live in it, and it will be desolate forever.'
63 In zgodilo se bo, ko narediš konec branju te knjige, da boš k njej privezal kamen in jo vrgel v sredo Evfrata
Then when you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle 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.
Say, 'Babylon will sink like this. It will not arise because of the disaster that I am sending against it, and they will fall.'” Jeremiah's words end here.
