Jeremija 8
1 »Ob tistem času, « govori Gospod, »bodo prinesli iz njihovih grobov kosti Judovega kralja, kosti njegovih princev, kosti duhovnikov, kosti prerokov in kosti prebivalcev [prestolnice] Jeruzalem
At that time, says the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
2 in raztrosili jih bodo pred soncem, luno in vso vojsko neba, ki so jih ljubili, ki so jim služili, za katerimi so hodili, ki so jih iskali in ki so jih oboževali; ne bodo zbrane niti pokopane, le-te bodo za gnoj na obličju zemlje.
and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped; they shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,
3 Ves preostanek tistih, ki ostanejo od te zlobne družine, ki ostanejo v vseh krajih, kamor sem jih pognal, bodo raje izbrali smrt kakor življenje, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
because they chose death rather than life, even to all the remnant that are left of that family, in every place whither I shall drive them out.
4 Poleg tega jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali bodo padli in ne vstali? Ali se bo obrnil proč in ne vrnil?
For thus says the Lord, Shall not he that falls arise? or he that turns away, shall he not turn back again?
5 Zakaj je potem to ljudstvo iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem zdrknilo nazaj z neprestanim odpadom? Trdno se držijo prevare, zavračajo, da bi se vrnili.
Therefore has this my people turned away with a shameless revolting, and strengthened themselves in their willfulness, and refused to return?
6 Prisluhnil sem in slišal, toda niso pravilno govorili. Noben človek se ni pokesal od svoje zlobnosti, rekoč: ›Kaj sem storil?‹ Vsak se je obrnil k svoji smeri, kakor konj hiti v bitko.
Listen, I pray you, and hear: will they not speak thus, There is no man that repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? the runner has failed from his course, as a tired horse in his neighing.
7 Da, štorklja na nebu pozna svoje določene čase, grlica, žerjav in lastovka obeležujejo čas svojega prihajanja, toda moje ljudstvo ne pozna Gospodove sodbe.
Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her time, [also] the turtle-dove and wild swallow; the sparrows observe the times of their coming in; but this my people knows not the judgments of the Lord.
8 Kako pravite: ›Modri smo in z nami je Gospodova postava?‹ Glej, zagotovo jo je on naredil zaman, pisalo pisarjev je zaman.
How will you say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? In vain have the scribes used a false pen.
9 Modri možje so osramočeni, zaprepadeni in ujeti. Glej, zavrnili so Gospodovo besedo in kakšna modrost je v njih?
The wise men are ashamed, and alarmed, and taken; because they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is there in them?
10 Zato bom njihove žene dal drugim in njihova polja tistim, ki jih bodo podedovali. Kajti vsak, od najmanjšega celo do največjega, se nagiba k pohlepu, od preroka celo do duhovnika, vsak postopa napačno.
Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to [new] inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, says the Lord.
11 Kajti površno so ozdravili rano hčere mojega ljudstva, rekoč: ›Mir, mir, ‹ ko tam ni miru.
12 Mar so bili osramočeni, ko so zagrešili ogabnost? Ne, sploh niso bili osramočeni niti niso mogli zardeti. Zato bodo padli med tistimi, ki padajo. V času njihovega obiskanja bodo vrženi dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
13 ›Zagotovo jih bom použil, ‹ govori Gospod: › tam ne bo grozdja na trti niti fig na figovem drevesu in list bo ovenel; in stvari, ki sem jim jih dal, bodo šle proč od njih.‹«
There are no grapes on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig-trees, and the leaves have fallen off.
14 Zakaj mirno sedimo? Zberite se in dajmo, vstopimo v obrambna mesta in tam bodimo tiho, kajti Gospod, naš Bog, nas je položil v molk in nam dal za piti vodo iz žolča, ker smo grešili zoper Gospoda.
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be cast out there: for God has cast us out, and made us drink water of gall, because we have sinned before him.
15 Iskali smo mir, toda nič dobrega ni prišlo, in na čas zdravja, pa glej težava!
We assembled for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, but behold anxiety.
16 »Prhanje njihovih konj je bilo slišati od Dana. Celotna zemlja je trepetala ob zvoku rezgetanja njegovih močnih, kajti prišli so in požrli deželo in vse, kar je v njej; mesto in tiste, ki prebivajo v njem.
We shall hear the neighing of his swift horses out of Dan: the whole land quaked at the sound of the neighing of his horses; and he shall come, and devour the land and the fullness of it; the city, and them that dwell in it.
17 Kajti glejte, jaz bom med vas poslal kače, strupene kače, ki ne bodo očarane in te vas bodo pikale, « govori Gospod.
For, behold, I send forth against you deadly serpents, which can’t be charmed, and they shall bite you
18 Ko bi se želel tolažiti zoper bridkost, je moje srce oslabelo v meni.
mortally with the pain of your distressed heart.
19 Glej, glas vpitja hčere mojega ljudstva zaradi tistih, ki prebivajo v daljni deželi: › Mar ni Gospoda na Sionu? Ali ni njen kralj v njej?‹ Zakaj so me do jeze dražili s svojimi rezanimi podobami in s tujimi ničevostmi?
Behold, [there is] a sound of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off: Is not the Lord in Sion? is there not a king there? because they have provoked me with their graven [images], and with strange vanities.
20 Žetev je mimo, poletje je končano, mi pa nismo rešeni.
The summer is gone, the harvest is past, and we are not saved.
21 Zaradi zloma hčere mojega ljudstva sem zlomljen, črn sem, osuplost se me je polastila.
For the breach of the daughter of my people I have been saddened: in my perplexity pangs have seized upon me as of a woman in travail.
22 Mar ni balzama v Gileádu, ali tam ni nobenega zdravnika? Zakaj potem zdravje hčere mojega ljudstva ni povrnjeno?
And is there no balm in Galaad, or is there no physician there? why has not the healing of the daughter of my people taken place?
