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

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

²Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

²Stopi med vrata hiše GOSPODOVE in oznanjaj tam besedo to in reci: Poslušajte besedo GOSPODOVO, vsi Judovci, ki greste noter skozi ta vrata molit GOSPODA.

³Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

³Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Dobra naredite svoja pota in dejanja, pa storim, da boste prebivali v tem kraju.

⁴Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.

⁴Ne zanašajte se na lažnive besede, govoreč: Tempelj Jehove, tempelj Jehove, tempelj Jehove je to!

⁵For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

⁵Zakaj če res dobra naredite svoja pota in dejanja, če boste resnobno delali pravico med možem in možem,

⁶If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

⁶če tujca, sirote in vdove ne boste tlačili in nedolžne krvi ne prelivali v tem kraju, tudi za tujimi bogovi ne hodili v svojo nesrečo:

⁷Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

⁷storim, da boste prebival v tem kraju, v deželi, ki sem jo dal očetom vašim, od veka do veka.

⁸Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

⁸Glejte, zanašate se na lažnive besede, ki ne morejo nič koristiti.

⁹Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

⁹Hočete li krasti, ubijati in prešeštvovati ter prisegati po krivem in kaditi Baalu pa hoditi za tujimi bogovi, ki jih ne poznate?

¹⁰And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

¹⁰pa boste prišli in stopili predme v tej hiši, ki se imenuje po mojem imenu, in porečete: Rešeni smo! da bi mogli uganjati vse te gnusobe?

¹¹Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

¹¹Je li ta hiša, ki je imenovana po mojem imenu, postala v vaših očeh jama razbojnikov? Tudi jaz, glejte, sem videl to, govori GOSPOD.

¹²But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

¹²Pojdite pa, pravim, v moj kraj, ki je bil v Silu, kjer sem bil storil, da je prvič prebivalo ondi ime moje, in glejte, kaj sem mu storil zavoljo hudobnosti ljudstva svojega Izraela!

¹³And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

¹³In sedaj, ker ste delali vsa tista dejanja, govori GOSPOD, in ko sem vam govoril od ranega jutra in neprenehoma, a niste poslušali, in sem vas klical, a niste odgovorili:

¹⁴Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

¹⁴zato storim tej hiši, ki se imenuje po mojem imenu, na katero se vi zanašate, in temu kraju, ki sem ga dal vam in očetom vašim, kakor sem storil Silu.

¹⁵And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

¹⁵In zavržem vas izpred obličja svojega, kakor sem zavrgel vse brate vaše, vse seme Efraimovo.

¹⁶Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

¹⁶Ti torej ne prosi za to ljudstvo in ne povzdiguj vpitja, ne prošnje zanje in ne posreduj pred menoj; kajti nikakor bi te ne poslušal.

¹⁷Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁷Ali ne vidiš, kaj delajo oni v mestih Judovih in po ulicah jeruzalemskih?

¹⁸The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

¹⁸Otroci pobirajo drva in očetje zažigajo ogenj in žene gnetejo testo, da narede kolače kraljici nebeški in da darujejo pitne daritve drugim bogovom, da me dražijo.

¹⁹Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

¹⁹Ali je zoper mene, ko delajo zdražbo? govori GOSPOD; ni li zoper nje same, v osramočenje njih obličja?

²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

²⁰Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Glej, jeza moja in srditost moja se razlije nad to mesto, nad ljudi in nad živino, nad drevje na polju in nad sad zemlje; in gorela bo in ne ugasne.

²¹Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

²¹Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Žgalne daritve svoje pridenite žrtvam svojim in jejte meso.

²²For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

²²Kajti nisem govoril z očeti vašimi in nisem jim zapovedal tisti dan, ko sem jih izpeljal iz dežele Egiptovske, o žgalnih daritvah in žrtvah;

²³But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

²³ampak to sem jim zapovedal, govoreč: Poslušajte glas moj, in bodem vaš Bog in vi mi bodete ljudstvo; in hodite po vsem tistem potu, ki vam ga bom ukazal, da bi se vam dobro godilo.

²⁴But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

²⁴Ali niso poslušali in niso nagnili ušesa svojega, temuč hodili so po lastnih sklepih, po trmi hudobnega srca svojega; obrnili so mi hrbet in ne obličja.

²⁵Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

²⁵Od dne, ko so bili odšli očetje vaši iz dežele Egiptovske, prav do tega dne sem pošiljal k vam vse hlapce svoje proroke vsak dan zgodaj zjutraj in neprenehoma;

²⁶Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

²⁶vendar me niso poslušali in niso nagnili ušesa svojega, ampak bili so trdovratni, huje so delali nego njih očetje.

²⁷Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

²⁷In ko govoriš pred njimi vse te besede, te tudi ne poslušajo, in ko jih kličeš, ti ne odgovarjajo.

²⁸But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

²⁸Zatorej jim porečeš: To je narod, ki ne posluša glasu GOSPODA, svojega Boga, in ne sprejema nauka; konec je zvestobi in iztrebljena je iz njih ust.

²⁹Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

²⁹Ostrizi si lase, hči sionska, in vrzi jih stran in na golih višinah zaženi žalovanje, ker je GOSPOD zavrgel in zapustil rod, ki se mu srdi.

³⁰For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

³⁰Kajti sinovi Judovi so storili, kar je hudo v mojih očeh, govori GOSPOD; postavili so gnusobe svoje v hišo, ki se imenuje po mojem imenu, da jo oskrunijo.

³¹And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

³¹In sezidali so višave Tofetu, ki je v dolini sinu Hinomovega, da bi žgali na ognju sinove in hčere svoje, česar nisem bil zapovedal in mi ni bilo prišlo na misel.

³²Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

³²Zatorej, glej, pridejo dnevi, govori GOSPOD, ko se ne bo več dejalo Tofet, ne dolina sinu Hinomovega, marveč Dolina moritve, in bodo pokopavali v Tofetu, ker drugje ne bode prostora.

³³And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

³³In mrliči tega ljudstva bodo paša ptičem izpod neba in zemeljskim zverem, in nihče jih ne bo plašil.Tedaj storim, da potihne v mestih Judovih in po ulicah jeruzalemskih glas veselja in glas radosti, glas ženina in glas neveste, zakaj razdejana bo ta dežela.

³⁴Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

³⁴Tedaj storim, da potihne v mestih Judovih in po ulicah jeruzalemskih glas veselja in glas radosti, glas ženina in glas neveste, zakaj razdejana bo ta dežela.
