Jeremiah 29
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Torej to so besede pisma, ki ga je prerok Jeremija poslal iz Jeruzalema preostanku starešin, ki so bili odvedeni ujeti, duhovnikom, prerokom in vsem ljudstvu, ki jih je Nebukadnezar ujete odvedel iz Jeruzalema v Babilon
2 (after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem),
(potem so bili kralj Jehoníja, kraljica, evnuhi, princi iz Juda in Jeruzalema ter tesarji in kovači odvedeni iz Jeruzalema)
3 by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon). It said:
po roki Šafánovega sina Elasá in Hilkijájevega sina Gemarjá (katera je Judov kralj Sedekíja poslal v Babilon k babilonskemu kralju Nebukadnezarju), rekoč:
4 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, vsem, ki so odvedeni ujeti, ki sem jim povzročil, da so odvedeni proč iz Jeruzalema v Babilon:
5 “Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
›Zgradite si hiše in prebivajte v njih, zasajajte vrtove in jejte njihov sad,
6 Take wives and father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and do not be diminished.
jemljite si žene in zaplodite sinove ter hčere, in vzemite žene za svoje sinove in svoje hčere dajte soprogom, da bodo lahko rodile sinove in hčere, da boste tam lahko povečani in ne zmanjšani.
7 Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
Iščite mir mestu, kamor sem vam povzročil, da ste bili odvedeni ujeti in zanj molite h Gospodu, kajti v njegovem miru boste vi imeli mir.‹
8 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Do not let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Do not listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »Naj vas vaši preroki in vaši vedeževalci, ki so v vaši sredi, ne zavajajo, niti ne prisluhnite svojim sanjam, ki ste jim povzročili, da so sanjane.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,” says the LORD.
Kajti lažno vam prerokujejo v mojem imenu. Nisem jih poslal, « govori Gospod.
10 For the LORD says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: »Da vas bom po tem, ko bo v Babilonu dovršenih sedemdeset let, obiskal in izvêdel svojo dobro besedo napram vam, v tem, da povzročim, da se vrnete na ta kraj.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
Kajti poznam misli, ki jih mislim napram vam, « govori Gospod, »misli miru in ne zla, da vam dam pričakovan konec.
12 You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Takrat boste klicali k meni in boste šli in molili k meni in vam bom prisluhnil.
13 You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
Iskali me boste in me našli, ko me boste iskali z vsem svojim srcem.
14 I will be found by you,” says the LORD, “and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD. I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.”
Dal se vam bom najti, « govori Gospod, »in vaše ujetništvo bom odvrnil proč in zbral vas bom izmed vseh narodov in iz vseh krajev, kamor sem vas pregnal, « govori Gospod, »in jaz vas bom ponovno privedel na kraj, od koder sem vam povzročil, da ste bili odvedeni ujeti.
15 Because you have said, “The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon,”
Ker ste rekli: › Gospod nam je v Babilonu vzdignil preroke; ‹
16 the LORD says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who have not gone with you into captivity,
vedite, da tako govori Gospod o kralju, ki sedi na Davidovem prestolu in o vsemu ljudstvu, ki prebiva v tem mestu in o vaših bratih, ki niso šli z vami naprej v ujetništvo; «
17 the LORD of Armies says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Poglejte, nadnje bom poslal meč, lakoto in kužno bolezen in naredil jih bom kot ogabne fige, ki se ne morejo pojesti, ker so tako zle.
18 I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
Preganjal jih bom z mečem, z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo in izročil jih bom, da bodo odstranjeni k vsem kraljestvom zemlje, da bodo prekletstvo, osuplost, posmeh in graja med vsemi narodi, kamor sem jih pregnal,
19 because they have not listened to my words,” says the LORD, “with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,” says the LORD.
ker niso prisluhnili mojim besedam, « govori Gospod, »ki sem jim jih pošiljal po svojih služabnikih prerokih, jih zgodaj vzdigoval in pošiljal; toda vi niste hoteli poslušati, « govori Gospod.
20 Hear therefore the LORD’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
»Poslušajte torej besedo od Gospoda, vsi vi iz ujetništva, ki sem vas poslal iz Jeruzalema v Babilon.
21 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog o Kolajájevemu sinu Ahábu, in o Maasejájevemu sinu Sedekíju, ki vam prerokujeta laž v mojem imenu: ›Glejte, izročil ju bom v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in ta ju bo ubil pred vašimi očmi.‹
22 A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’
Od njiju bo vse Judovo ujetništvo, ki je v Babilonu, povzelo prekletstvo, rekoč: › Gospod naj ti stori kakor Sedekíju in kakor Ahábu, ki ju je babilonski kralj pekel na ognju, (questioned)
23 because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I did not command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says the LORD.
ker sta zagrešila podlost v Izraelu in zagrešila zakonolomstvo z ženami svojih sosedov in v mojem imenu govorila lažnive besede, ki jima jih nisem zapovedal. Celo vedel sem in sem priča, ‹ govori Gospod.
24 Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
› Tako boš tudi ti govoril Šemajáju Nehelaméjcu, rekoč:
25 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, rekoč: ›Ker si v svojem imenu poslal pisma vsemu ljudstvu, ki so v Jeruzalemu in k duhovniku Cefanjáju, Maasejájevemu sinu in vsem duhovnikom, rekoč:
26 “The LORD has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the LORD’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
› Gospod te je postavil za duhovnika namesto duhovnika Jojadája, da bi bili častniki v Gospodovi hiši, za vsakega človeka, ki je zmešan in se dela preroka, da ga bi vtaknil v ječo in v klade.
27 Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
Zdaj torej, zakaj nisi grajal Jeremija iz Anatóta, ki se vam dela prerok?
28 because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
Kajti zato je poslal k nam v Babilon, rekoč: ›To ujetništvo je dolgo. Zgradite si hiše in prebivajte v njih, zasadite vrtove in jejte sad od njih.‹«
29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
Duhovnik Cefanjá je to pismo prebral v ušesa preroka Jeremija.
30 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda Jeremiju, rekoč:
31 “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘The LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I did not send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,”
»Pošlji k vsem tem iz ujetništva, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod glede Šemajája Nehelaméjca: ›Zato, ker je ta Šemajá prerokoval zoper vas, pa ga nisem poslal jaz in vam je storil, da zaupate v laž,
32 therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He will not see the good that I will do to my people,” says the LORD, “because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.”’”
zato tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, kaznoval bom Šemajája Nehelaméjca in njegovo seme. Ne bo imel človeka, da prebiva med tem ljudstvom; niti ne bo gledal dobrega, ki ga bom storil za svoje ljudstvo, ‹ govori Gospod; ›ker je učil upor zoper Gospoda.‹«
