Jeremija 6
1 »Oh vi, Benjaminovi otroci, zberite se, da zbežite iz srede Jeruzalema in trobite na šofar v Tekói in postavite znamenje ognja v Bet Keremu. Kajti zlo se pojavlja iz severa in veliko uničenje.
O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
2 Hčer sionsko sem primerjal z ljubko in prefinjeno žensko.
I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
3 Pastirji s svojimi tropi bodo prišli k njej, svoje šotore bodo postavili naokoli nje, vsak bo pasel na svojem kraju.‹«
The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
4 »Pripravite vojno zoper njo. Vstanimo in gremo gor opoldan. Gorje nam! Kajti dan mineva, kajti sence večera so podaljšane.«
Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
5 »Vstanimo in gremo gor ponoči in uničimo njene palače.«
Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
6 Kajti tako je rekel Gospod nad bojevniki: »Posekajte drevesa in nasujte nasip zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem. To je mesto, ki bo obiskano; ona je celotno zatiranje v njeni sredi.
For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
7 Kakor studenec bruha svoje vode, tako ona bruha svojo zlobnost. Nasilje in plen je slišati v njej; žalost in rane so nenehno pred menoj.
As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
8 Bodi poučena, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, da ne bi moja duša odšla od tebe; da te ne bi naredil zapuščeno, deželo, ki ni naseljena.«
Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
9 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Temeljito bodo paberkovali Izraelov preostanek kakor trto. Svojo roko obrni nazaj kakor obiralci grozdja v košare.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
10 Komu naj govorim in dam svarilo, da bi lahko slišali? Glej, njihovo uho je neobrezano in ne morejo prisluhniti. Glej, Gospodova beseda jim je graja; v njej nimajo veselja.
Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
11 Zato sem poln Gospodove razjarjenosti; izmučen sem z zadrževanjem. Izlil jo bom ven na otroke naokoli in skupaj na zbor mladeničev, kajti vzet bo celo soprog z ženo, ostarel s tistim, ki je izpolnjen z dnevi.
Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
12 Njihove hiše bodo obrnjene k drugim, skupaj z njihovimi polji in ženami, kajti svojo roko bom iztegnil nad prebivalce dežele, « govori Gospod.
And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
13 »Kajti od najmanjših izmed njih, celo do največjih izmed njih, je vsak predan pohlepu, in od preroka, celo do duhovnika, vsak krivo postopa.
For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
14 Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
15 Mar so bili osramočeni, ko so zagrešili ogabnost? Ne, sploh niso bili osramočeni niti niso mogli zardeti. Zato bodo padli med tistimi, ki padajo. Ob času, ko jih obiščem, bodo vrženi dol, « govori Gospod.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth the Lord.
16 Tako govori Gospod: »Ustavite se na poteh in glejte ter vprašajte za starimi stezami, kje je dobra pot, hodite po njej in našli boste počitek svojim dušam.« Rekli pa so: »Mi ne bomo hodili po njej.«
Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
17 Prav tako sem nad vami postavil stražarje, rekoč: »Prisluhnite zvoku šofarja.« Toda rekli so: »Ne bomo prisluhnili.«
Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
18 Zato poslušajte, vi narodi in vedite, oh skupnost, kaj je med njimi.
Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
19 Poslušaj, oh zemlja. Glej, nad to ljudstvo bom privedel zlo, celó sad njihovih misli, ker niso prisluhnili mojim besedam niti moji postavi, temveč so jo zavrnili.
Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
20 S kakšnim namenom prihaja k meni kadilo iz Sabe in prijeten trst iz daljne dežele? Vaše žgalne daritve mi niso sprejemljive niti mi vaše klavne daritve niso prijetne.«
To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
21 Zato tako govori Gospod: »Glej, pred to ljudstvo bom položil kamne spotike in očetje in sinovi bodo skupaj padli nanje; sosed in njegov prijatelj se bosta pogubila.«
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
22 Tako govori Gospod: »Glej, ljudstvo prihaja iz severne dežele in velik narod bo dvignjen od zemljinih strani.
Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
23 Prijeli bodo lok in sulico; kruti so in nimajo usmiljenja; njihov glas rjovi kakor morje; in jahajo na konjih, postavljeni v vrste kakor možje za vojno zoper tebe, oh sionska hči.
With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
24 »Slišali smo o njihovi slavi. Naše roke so oslabele. Tesnoba se nas je polastila in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
25 Ne pojdi naprej na polje niti ne hodi po poti, kajti sovražnikov meč in strah sta na vsaki strani.«
Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
26 Oh hči mojega ljudstva, opaši se z vrečevino in se valjaj v pepelu. Naredi si žalovanje kakor za edinim sinom, najbolj grenko žalovanje, kajti plenilec bo nenadoma prišel nad nas.
O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
27 Postavil sem te za stolp in trdnjavo med svojim ljudstvom, da lahko spoznaš in preizkusiš njihovo pot.
I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
28 Vsi so nadležni puntarji, hodijo z obrekovalci. Bron so in železo, vsi so izprijenci.
They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
29 Mehovi so požgani, svinec je použit z ognjem; livar zaman tali, kajti zlobni niso izločeni.
The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
30 Ljudje jih bodo imenovali zavrženo srebro, ker jih je Gospod zavrnil.«
They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
