Jeremias 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain of the daughter of my people.
Oh, da bi bila moja glava vode in moje oči studenec solza, da bi lahko dan in noč jokal zaradi umorjenih hčera svojega ljudstva!
2 Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
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.
3 And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says the Lord.
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.
4 Beware you each of his neighbour, and trust you not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
›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.
5 Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learnt to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
Zavajali bodo vsak svojega soseda in ne bodo govorili resnice. Svoj jezik so naučili, da govori laži in izmučili so se s početjem krivičnosti.
6 [There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord.
Tvoje prebivališče je v sredi prevare, zaradi prevare so odklonili, da me spoznajo, ‹ govori Gospod.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people.
Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, stopil jih bom in jih preizkusil. Kajti kako naj bi delal za hčer svojega ljudstva?
8 Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbour, but in himself retains enmity.
Njihov jezik je kakor izstreljena puščica; ta govori prevaro. Nekdo s svojimi usti govori miroljubno svojemu sosedu, toda v srcu preži.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this?
Ali jih ne bom obiskal zaradi teh stvari?‹ govori Gospod. ›Mar se ne bo moja duša maščevala na takšnem narodu, kot je ta?
10 Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone.
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.
11 And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited.
[Prestolnico] Jeruzalem bom naredil kupe in brlog zmajev. Judova mesta bom naredil zapuščena, brez prebivalca.
12 Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it.
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?‹
13 And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to my voice;
Gospod govori: ›Ker so zapustili mojo postavo, ki sem jo postavil prednje in niso ubogali mojega glasu niti hodili v tem,
14 but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]:
temveč so hodili po zamisli svojega lastnega srca in za Báali, kar so jih naučili njihovi očetje.‹
15 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall:
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.
16 and I will scatter them amongst the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it.
Razkropil jih bom tudi med pogane, ki jih niso poznali niti oni niti njihovi očetje. Za njimi bom poslal meč, dokler jih ne použijem.‹
17 Thus says the Lord, Call you the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice;
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite in pokličite žalovalke, da bi lahko prišle in pošljite po spretne ženske, da bi lahko prišle.
18 and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water.
Podvizajo naj se in povzamejo tarnanje za nas, da bodo naše oči lahko tekle s solzami in naše veke brizgale z vodami.
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles!
Kajti glas tarnanja je slišati iz Siona: ›Kako smo oplenjeni! Silno smo zbegani, ker smo zapustili deželo, ker so nas naša prebivališča izvrgla.‹‹
20 Hear now, you women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbour a dirge.
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.
21 For death has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets.
Kajti smrt se je povzpela skozi naša okna in vstopila v naše palače, da iztrebi otroke od zunaj in mladeniče iz ulic.
22 And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather [them].
»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.‹
23 Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
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.
24 but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgement, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says the Lord.
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.
25 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
›Glej, dnevi prihajajo, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom kaznoval vse tiste, ki so obrezani, z neobrezanimi:
26 on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.
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.‹«
