Jeremija 22
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Pojdi dol k hiši Judovega kralja in tam spregovori to besedo
This is what Yahweh says, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and proclaim this word there.
2 in reci: ›Poslušaj besedo od Gospoda, oh Judov kralj, ki sediš na Davidovem prestolu, ti in tvoji služabniki in tvoje ljudstvo, ki vstopate pri teh velikih vratih.
Say, 'King of Judah, listen to the word of Yahweh—you who sit on David's throne—you, and your servants, and your people who come through these gates.
3 Tako govori Gospod: ›Izvršujte sodbo in pravičnost ter oplenjenega osvobodite iz roke zatiralca. Ne delajte napačno, ne delajte nasilja tujcu [niti] osirotelemu niti vdovi niti ne prelivajte nedolžne krvi na tem kraju.
Yahweh says this, “Perform justice and righteousness, and anyone who has been robbed—rescue him from the hand of the oppressor. Do not mistreat any foreigner in your land, or any orphan or widow. Do not commit violence or pour out innocent blood in this place.
4 Kajti če zares storite to stvar, potem bodo tam, pri velikih vratih te hiše, vstopali kralji, sedeči na Davidovem prestolu, jahajoči na bojnih vozovih in na konjih, on, njegovi služabniki in njegovo ljudstvo.
For if you truly do these things, then kings sitting on David's throne will enter the gates of this house riding in a chariot and on horses, he, his servants, and his people!
5 Toda če ne boste poslušali teh besed, prisežem pri sebi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo ta hiša postala opustošenje.‹
But if you do not listen to these words from me that I have announced—this is Yahweh's declaration—then this royal house will become a ruin.”'
6 Kajti tako govori Gospod kraljevi hiši Juda: ›Ti si mi Gileád in glava Libanona, vendar te bom zagotovo spremenil [v] divjino in mesta, ki niso naseljena.
For Yahweh says this concerning the house of the king of Judah, 'You are like Gilead, or like the summit of Lebanon to me. Yet I will turn you into a wilderness, into cities with no inhabitants.
7 Zoper tebe bom pripravil uničevalce, vsakogar s svojimi orožji. Posekali bodo tvoje izbrane cedre in jih vrgli v ogenj.
For I have designated destroyers to come against you! Men with their weapons will cut off the best of your cedars and let them fall into the fire.
8 Številni narodi bodo šli mimo tega mesta in vsak človek bo rekel svojemu sosedu: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil temu velikemu mestu?‹
Then many nations will pass by this city. Each person will say to the next, “Why has Yahweh acted in this way toward this great city?”
9 Potem bodo odgovorili: ›Ker so zapustili zavezo Gospoda, svojega Boga in oboževali druge bogove ter jim služili.‹
Then the other will answer, “Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God and bowed down to other gods and worshiped them.”
10 Ne jokajte za mrtvim niti ga ne objokujte, temveč boleče jokajte za tistim, ki gre proč, kajti ne bo se več vrnil niti ne bo videl svoje domače dežele.
Do not weep for the one who is dead or mourn for him; but weep bitterly for him who is about to go away, because he will never return and see his native land again.'
11 Kajti tako govori Gospod glede Jošíjevega sina Šalúma, Judovega kralja, ki je zakraljeval namesto svojega očeta Jošíja, ki je odšel iz tega kraja: ›Tja se ne bo več vrnil, ‹
For Yahweh says this about Jehoahaz son of Josiah king of Judah, who served as king instead of Josiah his father, 'He has gone from this place and will not come back.
12 temveč bo umrl na kraju, kamor so ga odvedli v ujetništvo in ne bo več videl te dežele.
He will die there in the place to where they have exiled him, and he will never again see this land.'
13 Gorje tistemu, ki svojo hišo gradi z nepravičnostjo in svoje sobe s krivico; ki brez plačil uporablja pomoč svojega soseda in mu ne daje za njegovo delo;
Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor work for him for nothing, and he does not give him his wages;
14 ki pravi: ›Zgradil si bom široko hišo in velike sobe‹ in si izreže okna; in ta je obložena s cedrovino in pobarvana z živo rdečo.
he says, 'I will build for myself a large house with spacious upper rooms.' So he cuts out large windows for it, and he panels it with cedar, and he paints it red.
15 Mar boš kraljeval, ker se zapiraš s cedrovino? Mar ni tvoj oče jedel, pil, izvajal sodbo in pravico in je bilo potem dobro z njim?
Is this what makes you a good king, that you wanted to have boards of cedar? Did not your father also eat and drink, yet do justice and righteousness? Then things went well for him.
16 Sodil je primer revnega in pomoči potrebnega; tedaj je bilo dobro z njim. Ali ni bilo to poznati mene?‹ govori Gospod.
He judged in favor of the poor and needy. It was good then. Is this not what it means to know me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
17 Toda tvoje oči in tvoje srce sta zgolj za tvojo pohlepnost, za prelivanje nedolžne krvi, za zatiranje in za nasilje, da ga počneš.
But there is nothing in your eyes and heart except worry for your unjust profit and for pouring out innocent blood, for producing oppression and crushing of others.
18 Zato tako govori Gospod glede Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja: ›Ne bodo žalovali za njim, rekoč: ›Ah, moj brat!‹ ali ›Ah, sestra.‹ Ne bodo žalovali za njim, rekoč: ›Ah, gospod!‹ ali ›Ah, njegova slava!‹
Therefore this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will not lament for him, saying, 'Woe, my brother!' or 'Woe, my sister!' They will not lament for him, saying, 'Woe, master!' or 'Woe, majesty!'
19 Pokopan bo s pokopom osla, povlečen in vržen bo naprej onkraj velikih vrat [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
He will be buried with a donkey's burial, dragged away and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Pojdi gor na Libanon in jokaj; povzdigni svoj glas v Bašánu in jokaj iz prehodov, kajti vsi tvoji ljubimci so uničeni.
Go up Lebanon's mountains and shout. Lift your voice in Bashan. Shout from the Abarim mountains, for all of your friends will be destroyed.
21 Govoril sem ti v tvojem uspevanju, toda praviš: ›Ne bom poslušala.‹ To je bil tvoj način od tvoje mladosti, da ne ubogaš mojega glasu.
I spoke to you when you were safe, but you said, 'I will not listen.' This was your custom since your youth, for you have not listened to my voice.
22 Veter bo pojedel vse tvoje pastirje in tvoji ljubimci bodo šli v ujetništvo. Potem boš zagotovo osramočena in zbegana zaradi vse svoje zlobnosti.
The wind will shepherd away all your shepherds, and your friends will go into captivity. Then you will certainly be ashamed and humiliated by all of your evil deeds.
23 Oh prebivalec Libanona, ki delaš svoje gnezdo na cedrah, kako pomilovanja vreden boš, ko pridejo nadte ostre bolečine, bolečina kakor ženski v porodnih mukah!
You who live in 'Lebanon,' who is nestled in cedar buildings, how you will be pitied when the labor pains come upon you, pain like that of a woman in labor!”
24 Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod ›čeprav bi bil Konija, sin Jojahína, Judovega kralja, za pečat na moji desnici, bi te vendar od tam izruval
“As I live—this is Yahweh's declaration—even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet on my right hand, I would tear you off.
25 in te izročil v roko tistih, ki ti strežejo po življenju in v roko tistih, katerih obraza se bojiš, celo v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in v roko Kaldejcev.
For I have given you to the hand of the ones seeking your life and to the hand of those before whom you are afraid, even to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans.
26 Vrgel te bom ven in tvojo mater, ki te je nosila, v drugo deželo, kjer nista bila rojena, in tam bosta umrla.
I will throw you and your mother who bore you into another land, a country where you were not born, and there you will die.
27 Toda v deželo, kamor se želita vrniti, tja se ne bosta vrnila.
About this land to which they will want to return, they will not come back here.
28 Ali je ta mož Konija preziran, polomljen malik? Ali je on posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva? Zakaj so izvrženi, on in njegovo seme in so vrženi v deželo, ki je ne poznajo?‹
Is this a despised and shattered vessel? Is this man Jehoiachin a pot that pleases no one? Why have they thrown him and his descendants out, and have poured them out into a land that they did not know?
29 Oh zemlja, zemlja, zemlja, poslušaj Gospodovo besedo.
Land, Land, Land! Hear the word of Yahweh!
30 Tako govori Gospod: ›Zapiši tega moža brez otrok, moža, ki ne bo uspeval v svojih dneh, kajti noben mož iz njegovega semena ne bo uspeval, sedeč na Davidovem prestolu in ne bo več vladal v Judu.‹«
Yahweh says this, 'Write about this man Jehoiachin: He will be childless. He will not prosper during his days, and no one among his descendants will achieve success or ever again sit on David's throne and rule over Judah.'”
