¹The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

¹Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od GOSPODA, govoreč:

²Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

²Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, veleč: Zapiši si v knjigo vse besede, ki ti jih govorim.

³For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

³Kajti glej, dnevi pridejo, govori GOSPOD, ko nazaj pripeljem ujeto množico ljudstva svojega Izraelovega in Judovega, pravi GOSPOD; in pripeljem jih nazaj v deželo, ki sem jo bil dal njih očetom, da bi jo posedli.

⁴And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

⁴In to so besede, ki jih je govoril GOSPOD o Izraelu in o Judi.

⁵For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

⁵Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: Glas trepeta čujemo, strah je in nič miru.

⁶Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

⁶Le vprašajte in vidite, ali rodi moški? Zakaj vidim roke vsakega moža na ledju njegovem, kakor porodnica, in vseh obličja so obledela?

⁷Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

⁷Gorje! ker velik je ta dan, da mu ni enakega: to je čas stiske Jakobove; vendar bo rešen iz nje.

⁸For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

⁸Kajti tisti dan se zgodi, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami, da zlomim jarem njegov s tvojega vratu in raztrgam vezi tvoje, in sužnosti ne bodo več zahtevali od tebe tujci;

⁹But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

⁹ampak vsi bodo služili GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, in Davidu, kralju svojemu, ki ga jim obudim.

¹⁰Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

¹⁰Ti torej se ne boj, hlapec moj Jakob, govori GOSPOD, in ne plaši se, Izrael! zakaj, glej, jaz te otmem iz daljave in zarod tvoj iz dežele sužnosti njegove; in vrne se Jakob in bo počival in mirno živel, in nihče ga ne bo strašil.

¹¹For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

¹¹Kajti na strani sem ti, govori GOSPOD, da te rešim; zakaj docela pokončam vse narode, med katere sem te razkropil; samo tebe ne pokončam docela, temuč strahoval te bom primerno in te ne bom pustil čisto brez kazni.

¹²For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

¹²Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: Smrtna je rana tvoja, prehud udarec tvoj.

¹³There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

¹³Nihče se ne mara potegniti za pravdo tvojo; za rano svojo nimaš zdravila, ne obveze.

¹⁴All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

¹⁴Vsi ljubčki tvoji so te pozabili, ne vprašujejo nič po tebi; kajti udaril sem te z udarcem sovražnikovim, z grozovitim strahovanjem, zato ker je velika krivičnost tvoja, mnogi so grehi tvoji.

¹⁵Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

¹⁵Kaj vpiješ zavoljo rane svoje, da je neozdravljiva bolečina tvoja? Zato ker je velika krivičnost tvoja, ker so mnogi grehi tvoji, sem ti storil to.

¹⁶Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

¹⁶Zato bodo, katerikoli te žro, požrti in vsi zatiralci tvoji, kolikor jih je, pojdejo v sužnost, in kateri te teptajo, bodo poteptani, in vse, ki te plenijo, izročim plenjenju.

¹⁷For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

¹⁷Kajti povrnem ti zdravje in rane tvoje zacelim, govori GOSPOD, ker so te „pregnanko“ imenovali, rekoč: Ta je Sion, po kateri nihče ne vprašuje.

¹⁸Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

¹⁸Tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, jaz pripeljem nazaj ujetnike šatorov Jakobovih in se usmilim njegovih prebivališč. In mesto se zopet zgradi na svojem nasipu in v gradu se bo prebivalo po navadi svoji.

¹⁹And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

¹⁹In iz njih bo donelo zahvaljevanje in glas smejočih; in razmnožim jih, in se ne zmanjšajo; in poveličam jih, in ne bodo ponižani.

²⁰Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

²⁰In sinovi njegovi bodo kakor prej in njih občina se ustanoviti pred menoj; kaznoval pa bom vse, ki jih stiskajo.

²¹And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

²¹In veličastnik njegov bode iz njega in vladar njegov pride izmed njega; in njemu zapovem pristopiti, da se mi približa; kajti kdo je on, ki je prorok za srce svoje, da se sme približati meni? govori GOSPOD.

²²And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²²In bodete mi ljudstvo in jaz vam bodem Bog.

²³Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

²³Glej, vihar GOSPODOV, srdit, je nastal, vihar, vse podirajoč: zgrne se brezbožnim na glavo.Ne odvrne se kipeča jeza GOSPODOVA, dokler ne stori in dokler ne izpolni misli srca svojega. V poslednjih dnevih boste razumeli to.

²⁴The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

²⁴Ne odvrne se kipeča jeza GOSPODOVA, dokler ne stori in dokler ne izpolni misli srca svojega. V poslednjih dnevih boste razumeli to.
