Jeremias 42
1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS from the Lord in the days of Joakim, king of Juda, saying,
Potem so se vsi poveljniki sil, Karéahov sin Johanán, Hošajájev sin Jaazanjá in vse ljudstvo, od najmanjših celo do največjih, približali
2 Go to the house of the Archabin, and you shall bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the courts, and give them wine to drink.
in rekli preroku Jeremiju: »Rotimo te, naj bo naša ponižna prošnja sprejeta pred teboj in prosi za nas h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, celó za ves ta preostanek; (kajti nas je ostalo samo malo od mnogih, kakor nas tvoje oči gledajo),
3 So I brought forth Jechonias the son of Jeremin the son of Chabasin, and his brethren, and his sons, and all the family of the Archabin;
da nam Gospod, tvoj Bog, lahko pokaže pot, po kateri lahko hodimo in stvar, ki jo lahko delamo.«
4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Joanan, the son of Ananias, the son of Godolias, a man of God, who dwells near the house of the princes that are over the house of Maasaeas the son of Selom, who kept the court.
Potem jim je prerok Jeremija rekel: »Slišal sem vas. Glejte, molil bom za vas h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, glede vaših besed, in zgodilo se bo, da katerokoli stvar vam bo Gospod odgovoril, vam bom to oznanil. Ničesar ne bom zadržal pred vami.«
5 And I set before them a jar of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink you wine.
Potem so rekli Jeremiju: » Gospod bodi resnična in zvesta priča med nami, če ne storimo celo glede vseh stvari, zaradi katerih te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, poslal k nam.
6 But they said, We will on no account drink wine, for our father Jonadab the son of Rechab commanded us, saying, You shall on no account drink wine, [neither] you, nor your sons for ever:
Bodisi je to dobro ali če je to zlo, ubogali bomo glas Gospoda, svojega Boga, h kateremu smo te poslali, da bo lahko dobro z nami, ko ubogamo glas Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
7 nor shall you at all build houses, nor sow any seed, nor shall you have a vineyard: for you shall dwell in tents all your days; that you may live many days upon the land, in which you sojourn.
Po desetih dneh se je pripetilo, da je beseda od Gospoda prišla k Jeremiju.
8 And we listened to the voice of Jonadab our father, so as to drink no wine all our days, we, and our wives, and our sons, and our daughters;
Potem je poklical Karéahovega sina Johanána in vse poveljnike sil, ki so bili z njim in vse ljudstvo, od najmanjšega, celo do največjega
9 and so as to build no houses to dwell in: and we have had no vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
in jim rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, h kateremu ste me poslali, da pred njim predložim vašo ponižno prošnjo:
10 but we have lived in tents, and have listened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
›Če boste mirno ostali v tej deželi, potem vas bom gradil in vas ne bom podiral, sadil vas bom in vas ne bom ruval, kajti pokesal sem se zla, ki sem vam ga storil.
11 And it came to pass, when Nabuchodonosor came up against the land, that we said we would come in; and we entered into Jerusalem, for fear of the host of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the host of the Assyrians: and we lived there.
Ne bojte se babilonskega kralja, ki se ga bojite. Ne bojte se ga, ‹ govori Gospod. ›kajti jaz sem z vami, da vas rešim in da vas osvobodim iz njegove roke.
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pokazal vam bom usmiljenja, da bo lahko imel usmiljenje nad vami in vam povzroči, da se vrnete k svoji lastni deželi.
13 Thus says the Lord, Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will you not receive correction to listen to my words?
Toda če rečete: ›Ne bomo prebivali v tej deželi niti ne bomo ubogali glasu Gospoda, tvojega Boga,
14 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the word which he commanded his children, that they should drink no wine; and they have not drunk [it]: but I spoke to you early, and you listened not.
rekoč: ›Ne, temveč bomo šli v egiptovsko deželo, kjer ne bomo videli nobene vojne niti slišali zvoka šofarja niti ne imeli lakote kruha in bomo tam prebivali.‹‹
15 And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn you every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but you inclined not your ears, and listened not.
Sedaj torej poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi, Judov ostanek: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Če v celoti naravnate svoje obraze, da vstopite v Egipt in greste, da začasno prebivate tam,
16 But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not listened to me.
potem se bo zgodilo, da vas bo meč, ki ste se ga bali, tam, v egiptovski deželi, dohitel in lakota, ki ste se je bali, bo tesno sledila za vami tja v Egipt, in tam boste umrli.
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring upon Juda and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.
Tako bo z vsemi ljudmi, ki bodo svoje obraze naravnali, da gredo v Egipt, da začasno prebivajo tam. Umrli bodo pod mečem, od lakote, od kužne bolezni in nihče izmed njih ne bo preostal ali pobegnil pred zlom, ki ga bom privedel nadnje.‹
18 Therefore thus says the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have listened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Kakor je bila moja jeza in moja razjarjenost izlita nad prebivalce Jeruzalema, tako bo moja razjarjenost izlita nad vas, ko boste vstopili v Egipt, in vi boste preziranje, osuplost, prekletstvo in graja; in ne boste več videli tega kraja.‹«
19 there shall never be lacking a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before my face while the earth remains.
Gospod je glede vas rekel: »Oh vi, Judov preostanek: ›Ne pojdite v Egipt. Zagotovo vedite, da sem vas ta dan opomnil.
Kajti pretvarjali ste se v svojih srcih, ko ste me poslali h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, rekoč: ›Moli za nas h Gospodu, našemu Bogu in glede na vse to, kar ti bo Gospod, naš Bog, rekel, tako nam razglasi in bomo to storili.‹
Sedaj sem vam ta dan to razglasil, toda vi niste ubogali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga niti nobene stvari, za katero me je poslal k vam.
Zdaj torej zagotovo vedite, da boste umrli pod mečem, od lakote in od kužne bolezni na kraju, kamor želite iti in začasno prebivati.«
