¹Gorje pastirjem, ki pogubljajo in raztresajo ovce paše moje, govori GOSPOD.

¹Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says Yahweh.

²Zatorej pravi tako GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, zoper tiste pastirje, ki paso ljudstvo moje: Vi raztresate ovce moje in jih razganjate, pa jih ne obiskujete; glej, jaz bom kaznoval nad vami hudobnost vaših dejanj, govori GOSPOD.

²Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings, says Yahweh.

³Jaz zberem ostanek svojih ovac iz vseh krajev, kamor sem jih razkropil, in jih pripeljem nazaj v njih stajo, in se bodo plodile in množile.

³I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.

⁴In jim postavim pastirje, ki jih bodo pasli; in ne bodo se več bale, ne plašile, in nobene več ne bodo pogrešili, govori GOSPOD.

⁴I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, says Yahweh.

⁵Glej, dnevi pridejo, govori GOSPOD, ko zbudim Davidu Odraslek pravičen; in bo vladal kot kralj, srečo bo imel in delal pravo in pravičnost v deželi.

⁵Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

⁶V dnevih njegovih bo rešen Juda, in Izrael bo na varnem prebival; in to je ime njegovo, s katerim ga bodo klicali: GOSPOD, pravičnost naša.

⁶In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

⁷Zato, glej, pridejo dnevi, govori GOSPOD, ko se ne poreče več: Kakor res živi GOSPOD, ki je peljal Izraela iz dežele Egiptovske,

⁷Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they shall no more say, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

⁸ampak: Kakor živi GOSPOD, ki je izpeljal in pripeljal seme hiše Izraelove iz severne dežele in iz vseh krajev, kamor sem jih bil odgnal! In bodo prebivali v deželi svoji.

⁸but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own land.

⁹O prorokih. Potrto je srce v meni, drobé se vse kosti moje; sem kakor pijan in podoben možu, ki ga je premagalo vino, zavoljo GOSPODA in zavoljo besed svetosti njegove.

⁹Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.

¹⁰Kajti prešeštnikov polna je ta dežela, kajti zavoljo prokletstva žaluje ta dežela, suhi so pašniki v puščavi; in njih tek je hudoben in njih moč krivična.

¹⁰For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;

¹¹Ker prorok in duhovnik sta enako skrunilca svetega; celo v hiši svoji sem našel njiju hudobnost, govori GOSPOD.

¹¹for both prophet and priest are profane; yes, in my house have I found their wickedness, says Yahweh.

¹²Zato jim bode njih pot kakor prepolzki kraji v temi, zadenejo se na njem in padejo; zakaj pošljem nesrečo zoper nje, leto njih obiskovanja, govori GOSPOD.

¹²Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation, says Yahweh.

¹³Pri prorokih samarijskih vidim nespamet: prorokovali so po Baalu in zapeljevali ljudstvo moje Izraela.

¹³I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

¹⁴Ali na prorokih jeruzalemskih vidim strahovito reč: prešeštvujejo in hodijo v lažnivosti in potrjujejo roke hudodelcem, da se ne povrne nobeden od hudobnosti svoje; vsi tisti so mi kakor Sodoma in prebivalci njegovi kakor Gomora.

¹⁴In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none does return from his wickedness: they are all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.

¹⁵Zatorej pravi tako GOSPOD nad vojskami o tistih prorokih: Glej, jaz jih bodem sitil s pelinom in jih napajal s sokom trobeličnim; ker od prorokov jeruzalemskih je šla skrunitev svetega po vsej deželi.

¹⁵Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.

¹⁶Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami: Ne poslušajte besed tistih prorokov, ki vam prorokujejo; ničermurnosti vas učijo, svojega srca prikazen vam govore, ne iz ust GOSPODOVIH.

¹⁶Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.

¹⁷Govoré neprenehoma njim, ki me zametajo: Rekel je GOSPOD: mir vam bode; in vsakemu, ki hodi po trmi svojega srca, govoré: Ne pride nesreča nad vas.

¹⁷They say continually to those who despise me, Yahweh has said, You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come on you.

¹⁸Kajti kdo je stal v svetu GOSPODOVEM in je videl ali čul besedo njegovo? Kdo je pazil na besedo njegovo in jo slišal?

¹⁸For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? who has marked my word, and heard it?

¹⁹Glej, vihar GOSPODOV, iz srda njegovega, je prihrumel, vrtinčast vihar: zgrne se nad glavo brezbožnih.

¹⁹Behold, the storm of Yahweh, his wrath, has gone forth. Yes, a whirling storm. It shall burst on the head of the wicked.

²⁰Ne odvrne se jeza GOSPODOVA, dokler ne izpolni in dokler ne izvrši misli srca svojega. V poslednjih dnevih boste to jasno razumeli.

²⁰The anger of Yahweh shall not return, until he has executed, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.

²¹Nisem pošiljal tistih prorokov, sami so tekali; nisem jim govoril, sami so prorokovali.

²¹I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.

²²Ko bi bili pa stali v svetu mojem, bi bili oznanjali ljudstvu mojemu besede moje in jih odvrnili ž njih hudobnega pota in od hudobnosti njih dejanj. –

²²But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

²³Ali sem jaz Bog le od blizu, govori GOSPOD, ne tudi Bog v daljavi?

²³Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off?

²⁴Ali se more kdo skriti v zakotju, da bi ga ne videl jaz? govori GOSPOD. Ali nisem jaz, ki polnim nebesa in zemljo? govori GOSPOD.

²⁴Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don’t I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.

²⁵Slišal sem, kaj govore tisti proroki, ki prorokujejo laži v imenu mojem in pravijo: Sanjalo se mi je, sanjalo!

²⁵I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

²⁶Doklej neki bode to v srcu tistih prorokov, ki prorokujejo laži, ki prorokujejo prevare srca svojega?

²⁶How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

²⁷ki nameravajo storiti, da ljudstvo moje pozabi moje ime, s sanjami svojimi, ki jih pripovedujejo drug drugemu, prav kakor so njih očetje pozabili ime moje zavoljo Baala.

²⁷who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.

²⁸Prorok, ki ima sanje, naj pripoveduje sanje; in kdor ima besedo mojo, naj govori besedo mojo v resnici. Kaj tista slama s pšenico? govori GOSPOD.

²⁸The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says Yahweh.

²⁹Ni li beseda moja kakor ogenj, govori GOSPOD, in kakor kladivo, ki raztrupa skalo?

²⁹Isn’t my word like fire? says Yahweh; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

³⁰Zatorej, glej, jaz sem zoper tiste proroke, govori GOSPOD, ki kradejo besede moje drug drugemu.

³⁰Therefore behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who steal my words everyone from his neighbor.

³¹Glej, jaz sem zoper proroke, govori GOSPOD, ki rabijo svoj jezik in pravijo: Govor Božji je.

³¹Behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who use their tongues, and say, He says.

³²Glej, jaz sem zoper nje, ki prorokujejo sanje lažnive, govori GOSPOD, ki jih pripovedujejo in zapeljujejo ljudstvo moje s svojimi lažmi in z bahanjem svojim; jaz pa jih vendar nisem poslal in jim nisem zapovedal, in ne koristijo temu ljudstvu nikakor, govori GOSPOD.

³²Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yahweh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I didn’t send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, says Yahweh.

³³Ko te bo torej vprašalo to ljudstvo ali kak prorok ali duhovnik, rekoč: Kaj je breme [Hebrejska beseda pomeni dvoje: „breme“ in „prorokovanje“.] GOSPODOVO? tedaj jim povej: Vi ste breme, in: Zavržem vas, govori GOSPOD.

³³When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Yahweh? Then you shall tell them, What burden! I will cast you off, says Yahweh.

³⁴Zastran proroka in duhovnika in ljudstva, ki poreče: Breme GOSPODOVO –: kaznoval bom tistega moža in hišo njegovo.

³⁴As for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say, The burden of Yahweh, I will even punish that man and his house.

³⁵Takole bi morali govoriti vsak svojemu prijatelju in vsak svojemu bratu: Kaj je odgovoril GOSPOD? in: Kaj je rekel GOSPOD?

³⁵You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, What has Yahweh answered? and, What has Yahweh spoken?

³⁶„Bremena GOSPODOVEGA“ pa ne omenjajte več; kajti breme bode vsakemu njegova lastna beseda, ker preobračate besede živega Boga, GOSPODA nad vojskami, našega Boga.

³⁶You shall mention the burden of Yahweh no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies our God.

³⁷Tako reci proroku: Kaj ti je odgovoril GOSPOD? in: Kaj je rekel GOSPOD?

³⁷You shall say to the prophet, What has Yahweh answered you? and, What has Yahweh spoken?

³⁸Toda ker pravite „Breme GOSPODOVO“, zato pravi GOSPOD: Ker rabite tisto besedo „Breme GOSPODOVO“, dasi sem poslal k vam sporočat: Ne govorite: „Breme GOSPODOVO“:

³⁸But if you say, The burden of Yahweh; therefore thus says Yahweh: Because you say this word, The burden of Yahweh, and I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of Yahweh;

³⁹zatorej, glejte, vas zapustim docela in zavržem vas in mesto, katero sem dal vam in očetom vašim, izpred obličja svojega;in naložim vam večno sramoto in večno nečast, ki se ne bo mogla pozabiti.

³⁹therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence:

⁴⁰in naložim vam večno sramoto in večno nečast, ki se ne bo mogla pozabiti.

⁴⁰and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
