Jeremija 49
1 Glede Amóncev tako govori Gospod: »Mar Izrael nima sinov? Mar nima dediča? Zakaj potem njihovi kralji podedujejo Gad in njegovo ljudstvo prebiva v njegovih mestih.
Against the children of Ammon. Thus saith the Lord: Hath Israel no sons? or hath he no heir? Why then hath Melchom inherited Gad: and his people dwelt in his cities?
2 Zatorej, glejte, pridejo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ko bom povzročil alarm vojne, da se bo slišal v Rabi Amóncev in ta bo zapuščen kup in njene hčere bodo požgane z ognjem. Potem bo Izrael dedič tistim, ki so bili njegovi dediči, ‹ govori Gospod.
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will cause the noise of war to be heard in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and it shall be destroyed into a heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess them that have possessed him, saith the Lord.
3 Tuli, oh Hešbón, kajti Aj je oplenjen. Jokajte ve Rabine hčere, opašite se z vrečevino; objokujte in tecite sem ter tja pri ograjah; kajti njihov kralj bo šel v ujetništvo skupaj z njegovimi duhovniki in njegovimi princi.
Howl, O Hesebon, for Hai is wasted. Cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with haircloth: mourn and go about by the hedges: for Melchom shall be carried into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
4 Zakaj se ponašaš z dolinami, tvoji tekoči dolini, oh odpadla hči, ki si zaupala v svoje zaklade, rekoč: ›Kdo bo prišel k meni?‹
Why gloriest thou in the valleys? thy valley hath flowed away, O delicate daughter, that hast trusted in thy treasures, and hast said: Who shall come to me?
5 Glej, nadte bom privedel strah, ‹ govori Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, ›od vseh teh, ki bodo okoli tebe. Izgnani boste, vsak človek naravnost naprej in nihče ne bo zbral tistega, ki tava.
Behold I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all that are round about thee: and you shall be scattered every one out of one another’s sight, neither shall there be any to gather together them that flee.
6 Potem bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Amónovih otrok, ‹ govori Gospod.
And afterwards I will cause the captives of the children of Ammon to return, saith the Lord.
7 Glede Edóma tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: › Mar v Temánu ni več modrosti? Je nasvet izginil pred razsodnim? Je njihova modrost izginila?
Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is become unprofitable.
8 Pobegnite, obrnite se nazaj, prebivajte globoko, oh prebivalci Dedána; kajti nadenj bom privedel Ezavovo katastrofo, čas, ko ga bom obiskal.
Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation.
9 Če pridejo k tebi obiralci grozdja, ali ne bodo pustili nekaj paberkovalnih grozdov? Če tatovi ponoči, bodo uničevali, dokler ne bodo imeli dovolj.
If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was enough for them.
10 Toda jaz sem naredil Ezava razgaljenega, jaz sem odkril njegove skrite kraje in se ne bo mogel skriti. Njegovo seme je oplenjeno in njegovih bratov, njegovih sosedov in njega ni.
But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be.
11 Pusti svoje osirotele otroke, jaz jih bom ohranil žive; in tvoje vdove naj zaupajo vame.‹
Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope in me.
12 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, tisti, katerih sodba ni bila, da pijejo iz čaše, so zagotovo pijani; in ali si ti tisti, ki naj bi odšel čisto nekaznovan? Ne boš odšel nekaznovan, temveč boš zagotovo pil od tega.
For thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink.
13 Kajti prisegel sem sam pri sebi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo Bocra postala opustošenje, graja, opustošenost in prekletstvo in vsa njena mesta bodo neprestane opustošenosti.‹«
For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and all her cities shall be everlasting wastes.
14 Slišal sem govorico od Gospoda in predstavnik je poslan k poganom, rekoč: »Zberite se skupaj in pridite zoper njo in se vzdignite k bitki.«
I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and let us rise up to battle.
15 ›Kajti glej, naredil te bom majhnega med pogani in preziranega med ljudmi.
For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among men.
16 Tvoja strašnost te je zavedla in ponos tvojega srca, oh ti, ki prebivaš v skalnih razpokah, ki držiš višino hriba. Čeprav bi si svoje gnezdo naredil tako visoko kakor orel, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to lay hold on the height of the hill: but though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 ›Tudi Edóm bo opustošenje. Vsak, kdor gre mimo, bo osupel in sikal bo nad vsemi njegovimi nadlogami.
And Edom shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
18 Kakor v razdejanju Sódome in Gomóre in njunih sosednjih mest, ‹ govori Gospod, ›noben človek ne bo vzdržal tam niti človeški sin ne bo prebival v tem.
As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and there shall no son of man inhabit it.
19 Glej, vzpel se bo kakor lev iz naraščanja Jordana zoper prebivališče močnega. Toda naredil bom, da bo nenadoma pobegnil pred njo. In kdo je izbran mož, da bi ga lahko določil nad njo? Kajti kdo je podoben meni? In kdo mi bo določil čas? In kdo je tisti pastir, ki bo stal pred menoj?
Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
20 Zato prisluhnite Gospodovemu nasvetu, ki ga je svetoval zoper Edóm; in njegove namene, ki jih je namenil zoper prebivalce Temána: ›Zagotovo jih bo najmanjši iz tropa izvlekel ven. Zagotovo bo naredil njihova prebivališča opustela z njimi [vred].
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.
21 Zemlja je stresena ob hrupu njihovega padca, ob hrupu njihovega krika, ki ga je bilo slišati na Rdečem morju.
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea.
22 Glej, prišel bo gor in letel kakor orel in svoji peruti razširil nad Bocro in na ta dan bo srce mogočnih mož iz Edóma kakor srce ženske v njenih ostrih bolečinah.
Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
23 Glede Damaska. Hamát je zbegan in Arpád, kajti slišala sta zle novice. Boječa sta. Tam je bridkost na morju; ta ne more biti utišana.
Against Damascus. Emath is confounded and Arphad: for they have heard very bad tidings, they are troubled as in the sea: through care they could not rest.
24 Damask je postal slaboten in se obrača, da pobegne in strah se ga je polastil. Tesnoba in bridkosti so ga prevzele kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
Damascus is undone, she is put to flight, trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in labour.
25 Kako mesto hvale ni zapuščeno, mesto moje radosti!
How have they forsaken the city of renown, the city of joy!
26 Zato bodo njegovi mladeniči padli na njegovih ulicah in vsi bojevniki bodo iztrebljeni na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets: and all the men of war shall be silent in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 ›Zanetil bom ogenj v zidu Damaska in ta bo použil palače Ben Hadáda.‹
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, rind it shall devour the strong holds of Benadad.
28 Glede Kedárja in glede Hacórjevih kraljestev, ki jih bo babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar udaril, tako govori Gospod: ›Vstanite, pojdite gor v Kedár in oplenite može vzhoda.
Against Cedar and against the kingdoms of Asor, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon destroyed. Thus saith the Lord: Arise, and go ye up to Cedar, and waste the children of the east.
29 Njihove šotore in njihove trope bodo odvzeli. K sebi bodo vzeli njihove zavese in vse njihove posode in njihove kamele; in vpili jim bodo: ›Strah je na vsaki strani.‹
They shall take their tents, and their flocks: and shall carry off for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels: and they shall call fear upon them round about.
30 Pobegnite, odpravite se daleč proč, prebivajte globoko, oh vi prebivalci Hacórja, ‹ govori Gospod; ›kajti babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar je zoper vas sprejel nasvet in je zoper vas spočel namen.
Flee ye, get away speedily, sit in deep holes, you that inhabit Asur, saith the Lord: for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived designs against you.
31 Vstani, spravi se gor k premožnemu narodu, ki prebiva brez skrbi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ki nima niti velikih vrat niti zapahov, ki prebiva sam.
Arise, and so up to a nation that is at ease, and that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they dwell alone.
32 In njihove kamele bodo plen in množica njihove živine plen, in razkropil jih bom na vse vetrove, tiste, ki so na skrajnih vogalih; in jaz bom privedel njihovo katastrofo od vseh njihovih strani, ‹ govori Gospod.
And their camels shall be for a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle for a booty, and I will scatter into every wind them that have their hair cut round, and I will bring destruction upon them from I all their confines, saith the Lord.
33 Hacór bo prebivališče za zmaje in opustošenje na veke. Tam ne bo prebival noben človek niti noben človeški sin ne prebiva v njem.‹«
And Asor shall be a habitation for dragons, desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, nor son of man inhabit it.
34 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper Elám v začetku kraljevanja Judovega kralja Sedekíja, rekoč:
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, saying:
35 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, jaz bom zlomil Elámov lok, njihovo glavno moč.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will break the bow of Elam, and their chief strength.
36 Nad Elám bom privedel štiri vetrove iz štirih četrtin neba in razkropil jih bom proti vsem tem vetrovom; in tam ne bo nobenega naroda, kamor ne bi prišli pregnanci Eláma.
And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the fear quarters of heaven: and I will scatter them into all these winds: and there shall be no nation, to which the fugitives of Elam shall not come.
37 Kajti Elámu bom povzročil, da bo zaprepaden pred svojimi sovražniki in pred tistimi, ki jim strežejo po življenju, in nanje bom privedel zlo, celó svojo kruto jezo, ‹ govori Gospod: ›in za njimi bom poslal meč, dokler jih ne bom použil.
And I will cause Elam to be afraid before their enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord: and will send the sword after them, till I consume them.
38 Svoj prestol bom postavil v Elámu in od tam bom uničil kralja in prince, ‹ govori Gospod.
And I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy kings and princes from thence, saith the Lord.
39 ›Toda to se bo zgodilo v zadnjih dneh, da bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Eláma, ‹ govori Gospod.«
But in the latter days I will cause the captives of Elam, to return, saith the Lord.
