¹The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,

¹In prišla mi je beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

²Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.

²Ne jemlji si žene in ne imej sinov ali hčer v tem kraju.

³For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;

³Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD o sinovih in hčerah, rojenih v tem kraju, in o njih materah, ki jih rodé, in o njih očetih, ki so jih rodili v tej deželi:

⁴They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

⁴Za najhujšimi boleznimi bodo umrli, ne bode joka po njih in pokopani ne bodo; za gnoj bodo na površju zemlje; in od meča in glada bodo padali in njih trupla bodo za jed pticam pod nebom in zverem zemeljskim.

⁵For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies.

⁵Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: Ne stopaj v hišo žalosti in ne hodi jokat in ne miluj jih; kajti vzel sem nazaj svoj mir od tega ljudstva, govori GOSPOD, blagovoljnost in usmiljenje.

⁶Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:

⁶I veliki i mali bodo pomrli v tej deželi; ne bodo jih pokopali in jokali se ne bodo za njimi, ne bodo si delali vrezkov, ne pleše zanje;

⁷Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

⁷in ne bodo jim delili kruha ob žalovanju, da bi potolažili koga za umrlega, in piti jim ne bodo dajali iz čaše tolažbe za očeta ali za mater katerega izmed njih.

⁸Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

⁸Tudi v hišo pojedine ne hodi, da bi sedel med njimi, da bi jedel in da bi pil.

⁹For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

⁹Zakaj tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Glej, jaz storim, da pojde iz tega kraja pred vašimi očmi in v vaših dneh glas veselja in radosti glas, glas ženina in glas neveste.

¹⁰And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

¹⁰In ko naznaniš temu ljudstvu vse te besede, če ti poreko: Zakaj je izgovoril GOSPOD zoper nas vso tisto preveliko nesrečo? in kaka je krivica naša ali kakšen je greh naš, s katerim smo grešili zoper GOSPODA, Boga našega?

¹¹Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

¹¹tedaj jim reci: Zato ker so me zapustili očetje vaši, govori GOSPOD, in so hodili za tujimi bogovi ter jih častili in se jim klanjali; mene pa so zapustili in niso držali postave moje.

¹²And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

¹²Vi pa ste delali huje kakor očetje vaši; kajti glej, vsak hodi po trmi hudobnega srca svojega, tako da ne poslušate mene.

¹³Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.

¹³Zato vas vržem ven iz te dežele v deželo, ki je niste poznali ne vi, ne očetje vaši, in tam boste služili tujim bogovom noč in dan, ker vam ne dam milosti.

¹⁴Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

¹⁴Zatorej, glej, pridejo dnevi, govori GOSPOD, ko se ne bo več reklo: Kakor resnično živi GOSPOD, ki je izpeljal Izraelce iz dežele Egiptovske,

¹⁵But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

¹⁵ampak: Kakor resnično živi GOSPOD, ki je izpeljal Izraelce iz dežele severne in iz vseh krajev, kamor jih je bil izgnal. In jih bom pripeljal nazaj v njih deželo, katero sem bil dal njih očetom.

¹⁶Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

¹⁶Glej, jaz pošljem k mnogim ribičem, govori GOSPOD, da jih bodo lovili kakor ribe; in nato pošljem k mnogim lovcem, da jih bodo lovili z vsake gore in z vsakega hriba, tudi iz skalnih lukenj.

¹⁷For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

¹⁷Kajti moje oči gledajo na vse njih poti, niso skrite obličju mojemu, tudi njih krivica ni prikrita mojim očem.

¹⁸And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

¹⁸Ali poprej poplačam dvojno njih krivico in njih greh, zato ker so oskrunili deželo mojo s trupli svojih ostudnih stvari in so z gnusobami napolnili dediščino mojo.

¹⁹O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

¹⁹O GOSPOD, moč moja in grad moj in pribežališče moje v dan stiske! K tebi pridejo narodi od koncev zemlje in poreko: Samo laž so podedovali očetje naši, ničemurnost in kar nič ne koristi.

²⁰Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

²⁰Kako si more človek delati bogove, ki vendar niso bogovi?Zato, glej, jim pokažem, takrat jim pokažem roko svojo in svojo moč, in spoznajo, da je ime moje Jehova.

²¹Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.

²¹Zato, glej, jim pokažem, takrat jim pokažem roko svojo in svojo moč, in spoznajo, da je ime moje Jehova.
