¹The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

¹Greh Judov je zapisan s pisalom železnim, z ostjo demantovo, začrtan je na plošči njih srca in na rogovih vaših oltarjev;

²Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.

²njih otroci pa spominjajo svojih oltarjev in svojih Ašer pri zelenih drevesih, na gričih visokih.

³O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.

³Goro Sionsko svojo s poljem, premoženje tvoje in vse zaklade tvoje izpostavim plenjenju in višave tvoje zavoljo greha po vseh mejah tvojih.

⁴And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

⁴In ti boš, to pa vsled krivde svoje, moral zapustiti dediščino svojo, ki sem ti jo bil dal; in storim, da boš hlapčeval sovražnikom svojim v deželi, ki je ne poznaš; kajti ogenj ste zanetili v jezi moji, ki bo gorel vekomaj.

⁵Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

⁵Tako pravi GOSPOD: Proklet mož, ki ima upanje v človeka in meso šteje za ramo svojo, od GOSPODA pa odstopa srce njegovo!

⁶For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

⁶Kajti podoben bode čisto golemu drevesu v pustinji in ne bo videl, da prihaja dobro, temuč prebival bo v suhih krajih v puščavi, v solnati, neobljudeni deželi.

⁷Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

⁷Blagoslovljen mož, ki se zanaša na GOSPODA in čigar upanje je GOSPOD.

⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

⁸Kajti podoben bode drevesu, vsajenemu poleg vodá; po reki zaganja korenine svoje in se ne boji, ko prihaja vročina, ampak zeleno je listje njegovo, in v letu suše ni v skrbi in ne preneha donašati sadu.

⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

⁹Varljivo je srce nad vse in hudo popačeno: kdo ga more doumeti?

¹⁰I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

¹⁰Jaz GOSPOD preiskujem srce in preizkušam ledice, da dam vsakemu po potih njegovih, po sadu dejanj njegovih. –

¹¹As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

¹¹Kdor pridobiva bogastvo, pa po krivici, je kakor jerebica, ki sedi na jajcih, ki jih sama ni znesla; sredi svojih dni ga mora zapustiti in ob koncu svojem je neumen.

¹²A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

¹²Prestol slave, vzvišen od začetka, je kraj svetišča našega.

¹³O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

¹³O upanje Izraelovo, GOSPOD! vsi, ki te zapuščajo, bodo osramočeni. Kateri odstopajo od mene, bodo v prst zapisani, ker so zapustili studenec živih vodá, GOSPODA.

¹⁴Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

¹⁴Ozdravi me, GOSPOD, in ozdravljen bom; reši me, in rešen bom, ker si hvala moja.

¹⁵Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

¹⁵Glej, oni mi pravijo: Kje je beseda GOSPODOVA? Pride naj skoraj!

¹⁶As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

¹⁶In vendar se jaz nisem umikal, da bi ne bil pastir za teboj, in pogubnega dne nisem želel; ti veš. Kar je prišlo iz ustnic mojih, je bilo pred tvojim obličjem.

¹⁷Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

¹⁷Ne bodi mi za strah, pribežališče moje si ob dnevi nesreče!

¹⁸Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

¹⁸Osramočeni naj bodo preganjalci moji, jaz pa naj ne bom osramočen; obupavajo naj oni, a ne daj, da bi jaz obupal; pripelji zoper nje dan nesreče in z dvojno pogubo jih poteri!

¹⁹Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

¹⁹Tako mi je velel GOSPOD: Pojdi, postavi se med vrata sinov ljudstva, skozi katera hodijo ven in noter kralji Judovi, in med vsaka vrata jeruzalemska

²⁰And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

²⁰in jim reci: Poslušajte besedo GOSPODOVO, kralji Judovi in vsi Judje in vsi prebivalci v Jeruzalemu, ki hodite skozi ta vrata!

²¹Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

²¹Tako pravi GOSPOD: Varujte se zavoljo duš svojih, da si ne zadenete nobenega bremena v sobotni dan in ga ne prinesete v vrata jeruzalemska.

²²Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

²²Tudi ne nosite bremen iz svojih hiš v sobotni dan in ne opravljajte nobenega dela, temuč posvečujte sobotni dan, kakor sem zapovedal vašim očetom,

²³But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

²³ki pa niso poslušali in niso nagnili ušesa svojega, ampak postali so trdovratni, da niso poslušali in ne sprejeli nauka.

²⁴And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

²⁴In če me boste pridno poslušali, govori GOSPOD, in ne boste nosili bremen skozi vrata tega mesta sobotni dan in boste posvečevali sobotni dan in ne opravljali v njem nobenega dela, se zgodi,

²⁵Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

²⁵da bodo hodili skozi vrata tega mesta kralji in knezi, sedeči na prestolu Davidovem; na vozovih se bodo peljali in na konjih bodo jezdili oni in njih knezi, možje Judovi in prebivalci jeruzalemski; in to mesto bo obseljeno vekomaj.

²⁶And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.

²⁶In pride jih iz mest Judovih in iz krajev okoli Jeruzalema in iz dežele Benjaminove in iz nižave in gorovja in z Juga ter prineso žgalne in klalne in jedilne daritve in kadilo in prineso zahvalno žrtev v hišo GOSPODOVO.Če me pa ne boste poslušali, da bi posvečevali sobotni dan in ne nosili bremen, gredoč skozi vrata jeruzalemska sobotni dan, tedaj zažgem ogenj v njegovih vratih, ki pokonča palače jeruzalemske in ne ugasne.

²⁷But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

²⁷Če me pa ne boste poslušali, da bi posvečevali sobotni dan in ne nosili bremen, gredoč skozi vrata jeruzalemska sobotni dan, tedaj zažgem ogenj v njegovih vratih, ki pokonča palače jeruzalemske in ne ugasne.
