Jeremiah 44

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju glede vseh Judov, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi, ki prebivajo v Migdólu, v Tahpanhésu, v Nofu in v deželi Patrós, rekoč:

2 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah; and look, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,

»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Videli ste vse zlo, ki sem ga privedel nad Jeruzalem in nad vsa Judova mesta, in glejte, ta dan so ta opustošenje in noben človek ne prebiva tam

3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods, that they did not know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

zaradi njihove zlobnosti, ki so jo zagrešili, da me dražijo do jeze v tem, da so odšli zažigat kadilo in da služijo drugim bogovom, ki jih niso poznali niti oni, da, niti vaši očetje.

4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.'

Vendar sem vam pošiljal vse svoje služabnike preroke, vzdigujoče zgodaj in jih pošiljal, rekoč: ›O ne storite te gnusne stvari, ki jo sovražim.‹

5 But they did not listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.

Toda niso prisluhnili niti nagnili svojega ušesa, da se odvrnejo od svoje zlobnosti, da ne bi zažigali kadila drugim bogovom.

6 Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.'

Zato sta bila moj bes in moja jeza izlita naprej in vžgana v Judovih mestih in na ulicah Jeruzalema; in ta so opustošena in zapuščena kakor ta dan.‹

7 Therefore now thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the midst of Judah, to leave yourselves none remaining;

Zaradi tega sedaj tako govori Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Zakaj ste zagrešili to veliko zlo zoper svoje duše, da izmed sebe iztrebite moškega in žensko, otroka in dojenčka, ven iz Juda, da nikogar ne pustite, da preostane.

8 in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

V čem ste me dražili do besa z deli svojih rok, zažigajoč kadilo drugim bogovom v egiptovski deželi, kamor ste odšli, da prebivate, da se lahko sami odrežete in da ste lahko prekletstvo in graja med vsemi narodi zemlje?‹

9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

Mar ste pozabili zlobnost svojih očetov, zlobnost Judovih kraljev, zlobnost njihovih žena, svojo lastno zlobnost in zlobnost svojih žena, ki so jo zagrešili v Judovi deželi in na ulicah Jeruzalema?

10 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.'

Niso se ponižali celó do tega dne, niti se niso bali, niti hodili po moji postavi, niti po mojih zakonih, ki sem jih postavil pred vas in vaše očete.

11 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

Zato tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glejte, svoj obraz bom naravnal zoper vas za zlo in da iztrebim vsega Juda.

12 I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

Vzel bom preostanek Juda, ki so svoje obraze naravnali, da gredo v egiptovsko deželo, da začasno prebivajo tam in vsi bodo použiti in padli v egiptovski deželi; torej použiti bodo z mečem in z lakoto. Umrli bodo, od najmanjših celo do največjih, z mečem in z lakoto, in bodo preziranje in osuplost, prekletstvo in graja.

13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

Kajti kaznoval bom tiste, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi, kakor sem kaznoval Jeruzalem, z mečem, z lakoto in s kužno boleznijo,

14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.'"

tako da ne bo nihče izmed Judovega preostanka, ki so odšli v egiptovsko deželo, da začasno prebivajo tam, ušel ali preostal, da bi se vrnil v Judovo deželo, h kateri so imeli željo, da se vrnejo, da prebivajo tam. Kajti nihče se ne bo vrnil, razen tistih, ki bodo pobegnili.‹«

15 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

Potem so vsi možje, ki so vedeli, da so njihove žene zažigale kadilo drugim bogovom in vse ženske, ki so stale poleg, velika množica, celo vse ljudstvo, ki prebiva v egiptovski deželi, v Patrósu, odgovorili Jeremiju, rekoč:

16 "As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you.

» Glede na besedo, ki si nam jo govoril v imenu Gospoda, ti ne bomo prisluhnili,

17 But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our leaders, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

temveč bomo zagotovo počeli katerokoli stvar, izhajajočo iz naših lastnih ust, da zažigamo kadilo kraljici neba in da ji izlivamo pitne daritve, kakor smo počeli mi in naši očetje, naši kralji in naši princi v Judovih mestih in na ulicah Jeruzalema, kajti tedaj smo imeli obilico živeža in smo bili dobro in nismo videli zla.

18 But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine."

Toda odkar smo prenehali zažigati kadilo kraljici neba in ji izlivati pitne daritve, smo bili v potrebi vseh stvari in smo použiti z mečem in z lakoto.«

19 And the women said, "When we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?"

»In ko smo zažigale kadilo kraljici neba in ji izlivale pitne daritve, mar smo ji naredile kolačke, da jo obožujemo in ji izlivale pitne daritve, brez naših moških?«

20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

Potem je Jeremija rekel vsemu ljudstvu, moškim in ženskam in vsemu ljudstvu, ki mu je dalo ta odgovor, rekoč:

21 "The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your leaders, and the people of the land. Did not the LORD remember them, and did not it come into his mind,

»Kadilo, ki ste ga zažigali po Judovih mestih in po ulicah Jeruzalema, vi in vaši očetje, vaši kralji, vaši princi in ljudstvo dežele, ali se jih ni Gospod spomnil in ali to ni prišlo v njegov um?

22 so that the LORD could no longer bear because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed? Therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.

Tako da Gospod ni mogel več trpeti zaradi zla vaših početij in zaradi ogabnosti, ki ste jih zagrešili; zato je vaša dežela opustošenje, osuplost in prekletstvo, brez prebivalca, kakor na ta dan.

23 Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day."

Ker ste zažigali kadilo in ker ste grešili zoper Gospoda in niste ubogali Gospodovega glasu, niti hodili po njegovi postavi, niti po njegovih zakonih, niti po njegovih pričevanjih, zato se vam je zgodilo to zlo, kakor na ta dan.«

24 Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, "Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:

Poleg tega je Jeremija rekel vsemu ljudstvu in vsem ženskam: »Poslušajte besedo od Gospoda, ves Juda, ki ste v egiptovski deželi:

25 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, "We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her": establish then your vows, and perform your vows.'

›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, rekoč: ›Vi in vaše žene ste tako govorili s svojimi usti in s svojo roko izpolnili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bomo izvajali svoje zaobljube, ki smo se jih zaobljubili, da zažigamo kadilo kraljici neba in da ji izlivamo pitne daritve.‹ Zagotovo boste dokončali svoje zaobljube in zagotovo boste izvedli svoje zaobljube.

26 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: 'Look, I have sworn by my great name,' says the LORD, 'that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, "As the LORD lives."

Zato poslušajte besedo od Gospoda, ves Juda, ki prebiva v egiptovski deželi: ›Glejte, prisegel sem pri svojem velikem imenu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da moje ime ne bo več imenovano v ustih kateregakoli moškega iz Juda in po vsej egiptovski deželi, rekoč: ›Gospod Bog živi.‹

27 Look, I watch over them for disaster, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.

Glej, bedel bom nad njimi za zlo in ne za dobro; in vsi Judovi možje, ki so v egiptovski deželi, bodo použiti z mečem in z lakoto, dokler jih ne bo konec.

28 Those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.

Vendar se bo malo število, ki pobegne meču, vrnilo iz egiptovske dežele v Judovo deželo in ves preostanek Juda, ki so odšli v egiptovsko deželo, da tam začasno prebiva, bo vedel čigave besede bodo obstale, moje ali njihove.

29 This shall be the sign to you,' says the LORD, 'that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil':

To vam bo znamenje, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da vas bom kaznoval na tem kraju, da boste lahko vedeli, da bodo moje besede zagotovo obstale zoper vas v zlo.‹

30 Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.'"

Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, izročil bom faraona Hofrája, egiptovskega kralja, v roko njegovih sovražnikov in v roko tistih, ki strežejo po njegovem življenju, kakor sem Judovega kralja Sedekíja izročil v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, njegovega sovražnika in ki je stregel po njegovem življenju.‹«
