Jeremija 9
1 Oh, da bi bila moja glava vode in moje oči studenec solza, da bi lahko dan in noč jokal zaradi umorjenih hčera svojega ljudstva!
Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
2 Oh, da bi imel v divjini kraj za nastanitev popotnikov; da bi lahko zapustil svoje ljudstvo in odšel od njih! Kajti vsi so zakonolomci, zbor zahrbtnih mož.
Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
3 Svoje jezike krivijo za laži kakor svoj lok, toda niso hrabri za resnico na zemlji. Kajti napredujejo od zla k zlu, mene pa ne poznajo, ‹ govori Gospod.
And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
4 ›Vsakdo naj se pazi svojega soseda in ne zaupajte v kateregakoli brata, kajti vsak brat bo popolnoma izpodrinjen in vsak sosed bo hodil z obrekovalci.
Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
5 Zavajali bodo vsak svojega soseda in ne bodo govorili resnice. Svoj jezik so naučili, da govori laži in izmučili so se s početjem krivičnosti.
And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
6 Tvoje prebivališče je v sredi prevare, zaradi prevare so odklonili, da me spoznajo, ‹ govori Gospod.
Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
7 Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, stopil jih bom in jih preizkusil. Kajti kako naj bi delal za hčer svojega ljudstva?
Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
8 Njihov jezik je kakor izstreljena puščica; ta govori prevaro. Nekdo s svojimi usti govori miroljubno svojemu sosedu, toda v srcu preži.
Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
9 Ali jih ne bom obiskal zaradi teh stvari?‹ govori Gospod. ›Mar se ne bo moja duša maščevala na takšnem narodu, kot je ta?
Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
10 Zaradi gora bom povzdignil jokanje in tarnanje in zaradi prebivališč divjine žalovanje, ker so požgani, tako da nihče ne more iti skozi njih; niti ljudje ne morejo slišati glasu živine. Tako perjad neba kakor živali polja so pobegnile, odšle so.
Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
11 [Prestolnico] Jeruzalem bom naredil kupe in brlog zmajev. Judova mesta bom naredil zapuščena, brez prebivalca.
And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
12 Kdo je moder človek, da lahko to razume? Kdo je tisti, kateremu so Gospodova usta govorila, da lahko to oznani, čemu dežela propada in je požgana kakor divjina, da nihče ne gre skoznjo?‹
Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
13 Gospod govori: ›Ker so zapustili mojo postavo, ki sem jo postavil prednje in niso ubogali mojega glasu niti hodili v tem,
And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
14 temveč so hodili po zamisli svojega lastnega srca in za Báali, kar so jih naučili njihovi očetje.‹
But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
15 Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, hranil jih bom, celó to ljudstvo, s pelinom in piti jim bom dajal vodo iz žolča.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
16 Razkropil jih bom tudi med pogane, ki jih niso poznali niti oni niti njihovi očetje. Za njimi bom poslal meč, dokler jih ne použijem.‹
I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
17 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite in pokličite žalovalke, da bi lahko prišle in pošljite po spretne ženske, da bi lahko prišle.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
18 Podvizajo naj se in povzamejo tarnanje za nas, da bodo naše oči lahko tekle s solzami in naše veke brizgale z vodami.
And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
19 Kajti glas tarnanja je slišati iz Siona: ›Kako smo oplenjeni! Silno smo zbegani, ker smo zapustili deželo, ker so nas naša prebivališča izvrgla.‹‹
For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
20 Vendar poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, oh ve ženske in naj vaše uho prejme besedo iz njegovih ust in svoje hčere učite tarnanja in vsaka svojo sosedo objokovanja.
Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
21 Kajti smrt se je povzpela skozi naša okna in vstopila v naše palače, da iztrebi otroke od zunaj in mladeniče iz ulic.
For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
22 »Govori: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Celo trupla ljudi bodo padala kakor gnoj na odprtem polju in kakor prgišče za žanjcem in nihče jih ne bo zbral.‹
Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
23 Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne dopusti, da moder človek slavi v svoji modrosti niti naj mogočen človek ne slavi v svoji moči, naj bogat človek ne slavi v svojih bogastvih.
Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
24 Temveč naj tisti, ki slavi, slavi v tem, da me razume in spoznava, da jaz sem Gospod, ki izvajam ljubečo skrbnost, sodbo in pravičnost na zemlji. Kajti v teh stvareh se veselim, ‹ govori Gospod.
But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
25 ›Glej, dnevi prihajajo, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom kaznoval vse tiste, ki so obrezani, z neobrezanimi:
Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
26 Egipt, Juda, Edóm, Amónove otroke, Moáb in vse, ki so na skrajnih vogalih, ki prebivajo v divjini, kajti vsi ti narodi so neobrezani in vse Izraelove hiše so v srcu neobrezane.‹«
Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
