Jeremiah 13
1 Thus said Jehovah unto me, 'Go, and thou hast got for thee a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into water thou dost not cause it to enter:'
Tako mi govori Gospod: »Pojdi in si priskrbi lanen pas in ga daj na svoja ledja, v vodo pa ga ne daj.«
2 and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place [it] on my loins.
Tako sem dobil pas glede na Gospodovo besedo in si ga nadel na ledja.
3 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying,
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč:
4 'Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of the rock;
»Vzemi pas, ki si ga dobil, ki je na tvojih ledjih in vstani, pojdi k Evfratu in ga tam skrij v skalno luknjo.«
5 and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me.
Tako sem odšel in ga skril pri Evfratu, kakor mi je Gospod zapovedal.
6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that Jehovah saith unto me, 'Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;'
Po mnogih dneh se je pripetilo, da mi je Gospod rekel: »Vstani, pojdi k Evfratu in vzemi od tam pas, ki sem ti ga tam zapovedal skriti.«
7 and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred, it is not profitable for anything.
Potem sem odšel k Evfratu in kopál ter vzel pas iz kraja, kjer sem ga skril. Glej, pas je bil iznakažen, ni bil koristen za nič.
8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah:
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
9 Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great excellency of Jerusalem.
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Na ta način bom oškodoval Judov ponos in velik ponos Jeruzalema.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is — as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.
To zlo ljudstvo, ki zavrača poslušati moje besede, ki hodijo v zamisli svojega srca in hodijo za drugimi bogovi, da jim služijo in da jih obožujejo, bodo torej kakor ta pas, ki ni dober za nič.
11 For, as the girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, So I caused to cleave unto Me The whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah, To be to Me for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty, And they have not hearkened.
Kajti kakor se pas trdno drži moževih ledij, tako sem storil, da se me trdno drži celotna Izraelova hiša in celotna Judova hiša, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da mi bodo lahko za ljudstvo, za ime, za hvalo in za slavo. Toda nočejo slišati.
12 And thou hast said unto them this word, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, 'Every bottle is full of wine,' And they have said unto thee: 'Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine?'
Zato jim boš govoril to besedo: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Vsak meh bo napolnjen z vinom.‹ Rekli ti bodo: ›Mar ne vemo zagotovo, da bo vsak meh napolnjen z vinom?‹
13 And thou hast said unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness,
Potem jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, s pijanostjo bom napolnil vse prebivalce te dežele, celo kralje, ki sedijo na Davidovem prestolu, duhovnike, preroke in vse prebivalce [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
14 And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them.
Treščil jih bom enega ob drugega, celo očete in sinove skupaj, ‹ govori Gospod. ›Ne bom se usmilil niti prizanašal niti imel usmiljenja, temveč jih uničim.‹«
15 Hear, and give ear — be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken.
Poslušajte in pazljivo prisluhnite. Ne bodite ponosni, kajti Gospod je govoril.
16 Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed [it] for thick darkness.
Dajte slavo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, preden povzroči temo in preden se vaša stopala spotaknejo na temnih gorah in medtem ko gledate za svetlobo, jo obrne v smrtno senco in jo naredi [za] veliko temo.
17 And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken captive.
Toda če tega ne boste poslušali, bo moja duša jokala na skrivnih krajih zaradi vašega ponosa. Moje oko bo hudo jokalo in teklo s solzami, ker je bil Gospodov trop ujet odveden.
18 Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low — sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty.
»Reci kralju in kraljici: ›Ponižajta se, usedita se, kajti vajine kneževine bodo propadle, celó krona vajine slave.
19 The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed — all of her, She hath been removed completely —
Južna mesta bodo zaprta in nihče jih ne bo odprl. Ves Juda bo odveden v ujetništvo, v celoti bo odveden v ujetništvo.‹
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
Povzdigni svoje oči in poglej tiste, ki prihajajo iz severa. Kje je trop, ki ti je bil dan, tvoj krasen trop?
21 What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou — thou hast taught them [to be] over thee — leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?
Kaj boš rekla, ko te bo kaznoval? Kajti učila si jih, da so poveljniki in kakor vodja nad teboj. Ali te ne bodo zajele bolesti kakor žensko v porodnih mukah?
22 And when thou dost say in thy heart, 'Wherefore have these met me?' For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence.
Če rečeš v svojem srcu: ›Zakaj so prišle nadme te stvari?‹ Zaradi veličine tvoje krivičnosti so odkriti krajci tvojih oblačil in tvoje pete so razgaljene.
23 Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Mar lahko Etiopijec spremeni svojo kožo ali leopard svoje lise? Potem bi lahko tudi vi delali dobro, ki ste navajeni, da delate zlo.
24 And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.
Zato jih bom razkropil kakor strnišče, ki ga odnaša veter iz divjine.
25 This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.
To je tvoj žreb, delež tvojih zmožnosti od mene, ‹ govori Gospod; ›ker si me pozabila in zaupala v neresnico.
26 I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy shame hath been seen.
Zato bom odkril krajce tvojih oblačil nad tvojim obrazom, da se lahko prikaže tvoja sramota.
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, The wickedness of thy whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, Thou art not cleansed, after when [is it] again?
Videl sem tvoja zakonolomstva in tvoja rezgetanja, nespodobnost tvojega vlačugarstva in tvoje ogabnosti na hribih polj. Gorje ti, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem! Mar ne boš očiščena? Kdaj bo to enkrat prišlo?‹«
