< Jeremiah 34 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,
Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, ko se je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar, vsa njegova vojska, vsa zemeljska kraljestva njegovega gospostva in vse ljudstvo borilo zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in zoper vsa njena mesta, rekoč:
2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Pojdi in govori Judovemu kralju Sedekíju in mu povej: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, to mesto bom izročil v roko babilonskega kralja in ta ga bo požgal z ognjem.
3 And thou shalt not escape from his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
Ti ne boš pobegnil iz njegove roke, temveč boš zagotovo zajet in izročen v njegovo roko, in tvoje oči bodo gledale oči babilonskega kralja in ta bo govoril s teboj od ust do ust in šel boš v Babilon.‹«
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
Vendar poslušaj besedo od Gospoda, oh Judov kralj Sedekíja: »Tako govori Gospod o tebi: ›Ne boš umrl pod mečem,
5 [But] thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they burn [odors] for thee; and they will lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
temveč boš umrl v miru, in s sežigi [dišav] tvojim očetom, prejšnjim kraljem, ki so bili pred teboj; tako bodo sežgali dišave zate; in oni te bodo objokovali, rekoč: ›Ah, gospod!‹ Kajti jaz sem proglasil besedo, ‹ govori Gospod.«
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Potem je prerok Jeremija vse te besede govoril Judovemu kralju Sedekíju v Jeruzalemu,
7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.
ko se je vojska babilonskega kralja borila zoper Jeruzalem in zoper vsa Judova mesta, ki so ostala, zoper Lahíš in zoper Azéko, kajti ta obrambna mesta so preostala od Judovih mest.
8 [This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
To je beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, potem ko je kralj Sedekíja sklenil zavezo z vsem ljudstvom, ki je bilo v Jeruzalemu, da jim razglasi svobodo,
9 That every man should liberate his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, [being] a Hebrew or a Hebrewess; that none should retain them in service, [to wit], a Jew his brother.
da naj bi vsak človek pustil svojega sluga in vsak človek svojo deklo, ki je Hebrejec ali Hebrejka, oditi prosto, da naj ne bi bil nihče postrežen od njih, torej od svojega brata Juda.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should liberate his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, that none should retain them in service any more, then they obeyed, and let [them] go.
Torej ko so vsi princi in vse ljudstvo, ki je vstopilo v zavezo, slišalo, da naj bi vsak pustil svojega sluga in vsakdo svojo deklo oditi prosto, da naj si nihče izmed njih ne pusti več streč od njih, potem so ubogali in jim pustili oditi.
11 But afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had liberated, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Toda potem so se obrnili nazaj in veleli služabnikom in pomočnicam, ki so jih pustili oditi proste, da se vrnejo in jih privedli v podjarmljenje za služabnike in za pomočnice.
12 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Zato je Gospodova beseda prišla k Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:
13 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bond-men, saying,
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Zavezo sem sklenil z vašimi očeti na dan, ko sem jih izpeljal iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti, rekoč:
14 At the end of seven years dismiss ye every man his brother a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not to me, neither inclined their ear.
›Ob koncu sedmih let pustite oditi vsak mož svojega brata Hebrejca, ki ti je bil prodan; in ko ti je služil šest let, ga boš pustil od sebe oditi prostega.‹ Toda vaši očetje mi niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa.
15 And ye had now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
In sedaj ste bili obrnjeni in storili pravilno v mojem pogledu v razglašanju svobode vsak človek svojemu sosedu; in pred menoj ste sklenili zavezo v hiši, ki je imenovana z mojim imenom.
16 But ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
Toda obrnili ste se in oskrunili moje ime in veleli vsak človek svojemu služabniku in vsak mož svoji pomočnici, ki jih ste na njihovo zadovoljstvo spustili na svobodo, da se vrnejo in jih privedli v podjarmljenje, da so vam za služabnike in pomočnice.‹
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Niste mi prisluhnili v razglašanju svobode, vsak človek svojemu bratu in vsak človek svojemu sosedu. Glejte, razglašam vam svobodo, ‹ govori Gospod, ›meču, kužni bolezni in lakoti, in storil vam bom, da boste odstranjeni v vsa kraljestva zemlje.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it,
In jaz bom dal ljudi, ki so prestopali mojo zavezo, ki niso izpolnjevali besed zaveze, ki so jo sklenili pred menoj, ko so tele preklali na polovico in šli med njegovima deloma,
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;
Judove prince in jeruzalemske prince, evnuhe in duhovnike in vse ljudstvo dežele, ki so šli med deloma teleta;
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
jaz jih bom celo izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju. Njihova trupla bodo za hrano perjadi neba in zemeljskim živalim.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
Judovega kralja Sedekíja in njegove prince bom izročil v roko njihovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju in v roko kralja babilonske vojske, ki so šli gor od vas.
22 Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
Glej, zapovedal bom, ‹ govori Gospod ›in jim povzročil, da se vrnejo k temu mestu; in bojevali se bodo zoper njega, ga zavzeli in ga požgali z ognjem in jaz bom Judova mesta naredil opustošenje brez prebivalca.‹«
