Jeremija 7
1 Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 »Stopi v velika vrata Gospodove hiše in razglasi to besedo in reci: ›Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vsi vi iz Juda, ki vstopate pri teh velikih vratih, da obožujete Gospoda.
Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:
3 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Poboljšajte svoje poti in svoja dejanja in jaz vam bom povzročil, da prebivate na tem kraju.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Ne zaupajte v lažnive besede, rekoč: › Gospodov tempelj, ‹ › Gospodov tempelj, ‹ › Gospodov tempelj so ti.‹
Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!
5 Kajti če temeljito poboljšate svoje poti in svoja dejanja, če temeljito izvršite sodbo med človekom in njegovim sosedom,
For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour,
6 če ne zatirate tujca, sirote, vdove, in na tem kraju ne prelivate nedolžne krvi niti v svojo škodo ne hodite za drugimi bogovi,
Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,
7 potem vam bom povzročil, da prebivate na tem kraju, v deželi, ki sem jo dal vašim očetom na veke vekov.
Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.
8 Glejte, zaupate v lažnive besede, ki ne morejo koristiti.
Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
9 Ali boste kradli, morili, počeli zakonolomstvo, krivo prisegali, zažigali kadilo Báalu in hodili za drugimi bogovi, ki jih ne poznate
Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not.
10 in prišli ter stali pred menoj v tej hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom in rekli: »Rešeni smo, da bi počeli vse te ogabnosti?
And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, 'We have been delivered,' In order to do all these abominations.
11 Ali je ta hiša, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom, v vaših očeh postala brlog roparjev? Glejte, celo jaz sem to videl, « govori Gospod.
A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
12 »Toda pojdite sedaj k mojemu kraju, ki je bil v Šilu, kjer sem najprej postavil svoje ime in poglejte, kaj sem mu storil zaradi zlobnosti svojega ljudstva Izraela.
But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel.
13 In sedaj, ker ste storili vsa ta dejanja, « govori Gospod »in sem vam govoril, vas zgodaj vzdigoval in govoril, toda niste slišali; in vas klical, toda niste odgovorili;
And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,
14 zato bom tej hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom, v katerega zaupate in kraju, ki sem ga dal vam in vašim očetom, storil kakor sem storil Šilu.
I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 Zavrgel vas bom iz svojega pogleda, kakor sem zavrgel vse vaše brate, celó celotno Efrájimovo seme.
And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Zato ne moli za to ljudstvo, niti ne povzdiguj klica, niti molitve zanje, niti ne posreduj k meni, kajti jaz te ne bom poslušal.
And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.
17 Mar ne vidiš, kaj počno v Judovih mestih in na ulicah [prestolnice] Jeruzalem?
Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
18 Otroci nabirajo les, očetje netijo ogenj in ženske gnetejo svoje testo, da naredijo kolače kraljici neba in da izlivajo pitne daritve k drugim bogovom, da bi me lahko dražili k jezi.
The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
19 Mar me dražijo do jeze?« govori Gospod: » Mar ne dražijo sami sebe, do zmešnjave njihovih lastnih obrazov?«
Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?
20 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, moja jeza in moja razjarjenost bo izlita na tem kraju, na človeka, na žival, na drevesa polja in na sad tal; ta bo gorela in ne bo pogašena.«
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not quenched.
21 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »Položite svoje žgalne daritve k svojim klavnim daritvam in jejte meso.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh.
22 Kajti nisem govoril vašim očetom niti jim nisem zapovedal na dan, ko sem jih privedel iz egiptovske dežele, glede žgalnih daritev ali klavnih daritev,
For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
23 toda ukazal sem jim to stvar, rekoč: ›Ubogajte moj glas in jaz bom vaš Bog in vi boste moje ljudstvo; hodite po vseh poteh, ki sem vam jih zapovedal, da vam bo lahko dobro.‹
But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye — ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
24 Toda niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so hodili po nasvetih in po zamislih svojega zlega srca in odšli nazaj in ne naprej.
And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.
25 Od dneva, ko so vaši očetje izšli iz egiptovske dežele, do tega dne, sem vam celo pošiljal vse svoje služabnike preroke, dnevno sem jih zgodaj vzdigoval in pošiljal.
Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,
26 Vendar mi niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, temveč so otrdili svoj vrat. Ravnali so huje kakor njihovi očetje.
And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
27 Zato jim boš govoril vse te besede, toda ne bodo ti prisluhnili. Tudi klical boš k njim, toda ne bodo ti odgovorili.
And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer thee.
28 Toda rekel jim boš: ›To je narod, ki ne uboga glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti ne prejema grajanja. Resnica je izginila in je iztrebljena iz njihovih ust.‹«
And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.
29 Ostriži svoje lase, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem in jih odvrzi proč in povzemi žalostinko na visokih krajih, kajti Gospod je zavrnil in zapustil rod svojega besa.
Cut off thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth the generation of His wrath.
30 Kajti Judovi otroci so storili zlo v mojem pogledu, « govori Gospod. »Svoje ogabnosti so postavili v hiši, ki se imenuje z mojim imenom, da jo oskrunijo.
For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called — to defile it,
31 Zgradili so visoke kraje Tofeta, ki je v dolini sina Hinómovega, da svoje sinove in svoje hčere sežigajo v ognju, kar jim nisem zapovedal niti ni prišlo v moje srce.
And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
32 Zato, glej, prihajajo dnevi, « govori Gospod, »da ta ne bo več imenovan Tofet niti dolina sina Hinómovega, temveč dolina klanja, kajti v Tofetu bodo pokopavali, dokler tam ne bo več prostora.
Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, 'The Tophet,' And 'Valley of the son of Hinnom,' But 'Valley of the slaughter,' And they have buried in Tophet — without place.
33 Trupla tega ljudstva bodo meso za perjad neba in zemeljske zveri in nihče jih ne bo podil proč.
And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
34 Potem bom povzročil, da od Judovih mest in od ulic [prestolnice] Jeruzalem preneha glas smeha, glas veselja, glas ženina in glas neveste, kajti dežela bo zapuščena.
And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
