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

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

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

²while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.

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

³My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.

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.

⁴You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.

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

⁵Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.

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.

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

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

⁷Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.

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.

⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

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

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

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

¹⁰I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

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.

¹¹As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

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

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

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.

¹³Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.

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

¹⁴Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.

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

¹⁵Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come now.

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.

¹⁶As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.

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

¹⁷Don’t be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.

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!

¹⁸Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

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

¹⁹Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

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

²⁰and tell them, Hear the word of Yahweh, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

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

²¹Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

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

²²neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

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

²³But they didn’t listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

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,

²⁴It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;

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.

²⁵then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on 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 forever.

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.

²⁶They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.

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.

²⁷But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
