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.
“Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And blow a horn in Tekoa, And lift up a flame over Beth-Haccerem, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction.
2 Hčer sionsko sem primerjal z ljubko in prefinjeno žensko.
I have cut off the lovely and delicate one, The daughter of Zion.
3 Pastirji s svojimi tropi bodo prišli k njej, svoje šotore bodo postavili naokoli nje, vsak bo pasel na svojem kraju.‹«
Shepherds and their droves come to her, They have struck tents by her all around, They have each fed [in] his own station.”
4 »Pripravite vojno zoper njo. Vstanimo in gremo gor opoldan. Gorje nam! Kajti dan mineva, kajti sence večera so podaljšane.«
“Sanctify the battle against her, Rise, and we go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day has turned, For the shades of evening are stretched out,
5 »Vstanimo in gremo gor ponoči in uničimo njene palače.«
Rise, and we go up by night, And we 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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down her wood, And pour out a mound against Jerusalem, She [is] the city to be inspected, She [is] full of oppression in her midst.
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 digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she has dug [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Sickness and striking [are] continually before My face.
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 instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from you, Lest I make you a desolation, A land [that is] not inhabited.”
9 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Temeljito bodo paberkovali Izraelov preostanek kakor trto. Svojo roko obrni nazaj kakor obiralci grozdja v košare.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put your hand back, as a gatherer to 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.
To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Behold, a word of YHWH has been to them for a reproach, They do not delight 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.
And I have been filled with the fury of YHWH (I have been weary of containing), “To pour [it] on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, [The] elderly with one full of days,
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 have been turned to others, Fields and wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 their least to their greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even to priest, Everyone is dealing falsely,
14 Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And 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.
They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not at all ashamed, Indeed, they have not known blushing, Therefore they fall among those falling, In the time I have inspected them, They stumble,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “Stand by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where [is] this—the good way? And go in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, We do not go.
17 Prav tako sem nad vami postavil stražarje, rekoč: »Prisluhnite zvoku šofarja.« Toda rekli so: »Ne bomo prisluhnili.«
And I have raised up watchmen for you, Attend to the voice of the horn. And they say, We do not attend.
18 Zato poslušajte, vi narodi in vedite, oh skupnost, kaj je med njimi.
Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, That which [is] on 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.
Hear, O earth, behold, I am bringing evil on this people, The fruit of their plans, For they gave no attention to My words, And My law—they kick against it.
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.«
Why [is] this to Me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, And the sweet cane from a far-off land, Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet to 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 said YHWH: “Behold, I give stumbling blocks to this people, And fathers and sons have stumbled against them together, The neighbor and his friend perish.”
22 Tako govori Gospod: »Glej, ljudstvo prihaja iz severne dežele in velik narod bo dvignjen od zemljinih strani.
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, a people has come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up 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.
They take hold of bow and javelin, It [is] fierce, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, And they ride on horses, Set in array as a man of war, Against you, O daughter of Zion.”
24 »Slišali smo o njihovi slavi. Naše roke so oslabele. Tesnoba se nas je polastila in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
We have heard its sound, our hands have been feeble, Distress has seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.
25 Ne pojdi naprej na polje niti ne hodi po poti, kajti sovražnikov meč in strah sta na vsaki strani.«
Do not go forth to the field, And do not walk in the way, For the enemy has a sword, Fear [is] all around.
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, Gird on sackcloth, And roll yourself in ashes, Make mourning [as for] an only one, A most bitter lamentation, For the spoiler suddenly comes against us.
27 Postavil sem te za stolp in trdnjavo med svojim ljudstvom, da lahko spoznaš in preizkusiš njihovo pot.
“I have given you a watchtower, A fortress among My people, And you know, and have tried their way.
28 Vsi so nadležni puntarji, hodijo z obrekovalci. Bron so in železo, vsi so izprijenci.
All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously—bronze and iron, All of them are corrupters.
29 Mehovi so požgani, svinec je použit z ognjem; livar zaman tali, kajti zlobni niso izločeni.
The bellows have been burned, The lead has been consumed by fire, A refiner has refined in vain, And the wicked have not been drawn away.
30 Ljudje jih bodo imenovali zavrženo srebro, ker jih je Gospod zavrnil.«
They have called them rejected silver, For YHWH has kicked against them!”
