Jeremija 30

1 Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od Gospoda, rekoč:

The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2 »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, rekoč: ›V knjigo si zapiši vse besede, ki sem ti jih govoril.

Thus speaks Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book.

3 Kajti glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo svojega ljudstva Izraela in Juda, ‹ govori Gospod ›in povzročil jim bom, da se vrnejo v deželo, ki sem jo dal njihovim očetom in oni jo bodo vzeli v last.‹«

For, lo, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 To so besede, ki jih je Gospod govoril glede Izraela in glede Juda.

And these are the words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 Kajti tako govori Gospod: »Slišali smo glas trepetanja, strahu in ne miru.

For thus says Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 Vprašajte torej in poglejte, ali je mož v porodnih mukah z otrokom? Zakaj vidim vsakega moža s svojimi rokami na svojih ledjih, kakor žensko v porodnih mukah in so vsi obrazi postali bledi?

Ask ye now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 Ojoj! Kajti ta dan je velik, tako da mu ni nobeden podoben. To je celo čas Jakobove stiske, toda rešen bo iz nje.

Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

8 Kajti to se bo zgodilo na ta dan, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, » da bom zlomil njegov jarem s tvojega vratu in raztrgal tvoje vezi in tujcem ne bo več sužnjeval,

And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds. And strangers shall no more make him their bondman,

9 temveč bodo služili Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in Davidu, svojemu kralju, ki jim ga bom vzdignil.

but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

10 Zato se ne boj, oh moj služabnik Jakob, ‹ govori Gospod; ›niti ne bodi zaprepaden, oh Izrael, kajti, glej, rešil te bom od daleč in tvoje seme iz dežele njihovega ujetništva. Jakob se bo vrnil in bo v miru in bo tiho in nihče ga ne bo prestrašil.

Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

11 Kajti jaz sem s teboj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da te rešim. Čeprav naredim poln konec vsem narodom, kamor sem te razkropil, vendar iz tebe ne bom naredil polnega konca, temveč te bom grajal po meri in te ne bom pustil povsem nekaznovanega.‹

For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to save thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.

12 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Tvoja poškodba je nezaceljiva in tvoja rana je boleča.

For thus says Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.

13 Nobenega ni, da zagovarja tvoj primer, da bi bil lahko obvezan. Nobenih zdravilnih zdravil nimaš.

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou may be bound up; thou have no healing medicines.

14 Vsi tvoji ljubimci so te pozabili. Ne iščejo te; kajti ranil sem te z rano sovražnika, s kaznovanjem krutega, zaradi množice tvojih krivičnosti, ker so tvoji grehi narasli.

All who love thee have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.

15 Zakaj vpiješ zaradi svoje stiske? Tvoja bridkost je neozdravljiva zaradi množice tvoje krivičnosti. Ker so tvoji grehi narasli, sem ti jaz storil te stvari.

Why do thou cry for thy hurt? Thy pain is incurable, for the greatness of thine iniquity. Because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to thee.

16 Zatorej bodo vsi, ki te požirajo, požrti, in vsi tvoji nasprotniki, vsak izmed njih, bodo šli v ujetništvo, in tisti, ki te plenijo, bodo plen in vse to ukradeno blago na tebi bom dal za plen.

Therefore all those who devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. And those who despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all who prey upon thee I will give for a prey.

17 Kajti jaz ti bom obnovil zdravje in jaz te bom ozdravil tvojih ran, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ker so te imenovali Izobčenec, rekoč: ›To je Sion, ki ga noben človek ne išče.‹

For I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, says Jehovah, because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

18 Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, ponovno bom privedel ujetništvo Jakobovih šotorov in se usmilil njegovih bivališč, in mesto bo zgrajeno na svojem lastnem kupu in palača bo ostala po svoji lastni navadi.

Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places. And the city shall be built upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner.

19 Iz njih bo izšlo zahvaljevanje in glas tistih, ki se veselijo. Pomnožil jih bom in ne bo jih malo; prav tako jih bom proslavil in ne bodo majhni.

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 Tudi njihovi otroci bodo kakor poprej in njihova skupnost bo utrjena pred menoj, kaznoval pa bom vse, ki jih zatirajo.

Their sons also shall be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me. And I will punish all who oppress them.

21 Njihovi plemiči bodo izmed njih in njihov voditelj bo izšel iz njihove srede. Povzročil mu bom, da se približa in pristopil bo k meni, kajti kdo je ta, ki daje svojemu srcu jamstvo, da se mi približa?‹ govori Gospod.

And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me. For who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Jehovah.

22 ›Vi boste moje ljudstvo in jaz bom vaš Bog.‹«

And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 Glej, vrtinčast veter od Gospoda gre naprej z razjarjenostjo, nenehen vrtinčast veter; boleče bo padel na glavo zlobnih.

Behold, the tempest of Jehovah-wrath-has gone forth, a sweeping tempest. It shall burst upon the head of the wicked.

24 Gospodova kruta jeza se ne bo vrnila, dokler ne bo tega storil in dokler ne izpolni namene svojega srca. V zadnjih dneh boste to preudarili.

The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return until he has executed, and till he has performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days ye shall understand it.
