¹Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od GOSPODA v desetem letu Zedekija, kralja Judovega; tisto leto je osemnajsto leto Nebukadnezarja.

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

²Tedaj pa so krdela kralja babilonskega oblegala Jeruzalem; in Jeremija prorok je bil zaprt v veži straže, ki je bila v hiši kralja Judovega.

²Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

³Kajti zaprl ga je bil Zedekija, kralj Judov, rekoč: Zakaj prorokuješ in govoriš: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, jaz dam to mesto v roko kralju babilonskemu, da ga vzame.

³For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

⁴Tudi Zedekija, kralj Judov, se ne reši iz rok Kaldejcev, ampak gotovo bo dan v roko kralju babilonskemu, in usta njegova mu bodo govorila v usta in oči tega bodo videle onega oči;

⁴and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;

⁵in odpelje Zedekija v Babilon, kjer ostane, dokler ga ne obiščem, govori GOSPOD. Ker se bojujete s Kaldejci, ne boste imeli sreče.

⁵and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?

⁶Reče torej Jeremija: Prišla mi je beseda GOSPODOVA, rekoč:

⁶Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁷Glej, Hanamel, sin Saluma, strica tvojega, pride k tebi, da reče: Kupi si polje moje, ki je v Anatotu, kajti tvoja je odkupna pravica.

⁷Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.

⁸Nato je prišel k meni Hanamel, sin strica mojega, po besedi GOSPODOVI, v vežo straže ter mi rekel: Kupi, prosim, polje moje, ki je v Anatotu, ki je v deželi Benjaminovi; kajti tvoja je pravica za dedovanje in odkup; kupi si ga! Tedaj sem spoznal, da je beseda GOSPODOVA.

⁸So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.

⁹In kupil sem od Hanamela, sina strica mojega, tisto polje, ki je v Anatotu, in odtehtal sem mu denar, sedemnajst seklov srebra;

⁹I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

¹⁰in pisal sem kupno pismo in ga zapečatil, in privzel sem priče, in odtehtal denar na tehtnici.

¹⁰I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

¹¹Nato vzamem kupno pismo, zapečateno, z določbami in s pogoji, in odprt prepis,

¹¹So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;

¹²in izročim kupno pismo Baruhu, sinu Nerija, sina Mahsejevega, pred očmi svojega stričiča Hanamela in pred očmi prič, ki so podpisale kupno pismo, pred očmi vseh Judov, ki so sedeli v veži straže.

¹²and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

¹³In ukažem Baruhu vpričo njih, rekoč:

¹³I commanded Baruch before them, saying,

¹⁴Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Vzemi ti pismi, to zapečateno kupno pismo in to odprto pismo, in položi ju v prsteno posodo, da tam ostaneta mnogo dni.

¹⁴Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.

¹⁵Zakaj tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Še se bodo kupovale hiše in njive in vinogradi v tej deželi.

¹⁵For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.

¹⁶In ko sem dal kupno pismo Baruhu, sinu Nerijevemu, sem prosil GOSPODA, rekoč:

¹⁶Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,

¹⁷Oh, Gospod, Jehova! Glej, ti si naredil nebesa in zemljo z močjo svojo preveliko in z iztegnjeno ramo svojo: tebi ni pretežka nobena stvar;

¹⁷Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,

¹⁸ki izkazuješ milost tisočim in poplačuješ očetov krivice v naročje njih sinov za njimi. Ti Bog mogočni, veliki, silni, čigar ime je GOSPOD nad vojskami,

¹⁸who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is his name;

¹⁹velik v svetu in mogočen v dejanju, ti, čigar oči so odprte nad vsemi poti človeških otrok, da daš vsakemu po njegovih potih in po sadu njegovih del;

¹⁹great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

²⁰ki si delal znamenja in čudeže v deželi Egiptovski in še do tega dne i v Izraelu i med drugimi ljudmi in sebi pridobil ime, kakršno je dandanašnji.

²⁰who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as in this day;

²¹In izpeljal si ljudstvo svoje Izraela iz dežele Egiptovske z znamenji in čudeži in z mogočno roko in z iztegnjeno ramo in z velikim strahom;

²¹and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

²²in dal si jim to deželo, ki si bil zanjo prisegel njih očetom, da jim jo daš, deželo, ki se cedi mleka in medu.

²²and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

²³Ali ko so prišli vanjo ter jo posedli, niso poslušali glasu tvojega in niso hodili po postavi tvoji; karkoli si jim zapovedal storiti, niso storili. Zato si storil, da jih je zadela vsa ta nesreča.

²³and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.

²⁴Glej, nasipe so nanesli proti temu mestu, da ga vzemo; in mesto bo dano v roke Kaldejcem, ki ga oblegajo, zavoljo meča in lakote in kuge. In kar si govoril, se godi; in glej, ti to vidiš.

²⁴Behold, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and behold, you see it.

²⁵In vendar si mi velel, Gospod, Jehova: Kupi si tisto polje z denarjem in privzemi priče; – in mesto je dano v roke Kaldejcem!

²⁵You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Prišla je pa beseda GOSPODOVA Jeremiju, govoreč:

²⁶Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁷Glej, jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vsega mesa; ali bi mi bila pretežka kaka stvar?

²⁷Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

²⁸Zato pravi tako GOSPOD: Glej, jaz dam to mesto v roko Kaldejcev in v roko Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, da ga vzame.

²⁸Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

²⁹In Kaldejci, ki se bojujejo zoper to mesto, pridejo vanje in ga zapalijo z ognjem ter požgo s hišami vred, ki so na njih strehah kadili Baalu in pitne daritve darovali tujim bogovom, da bi me dražili.

²⁹and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

³⁰Ker so sinovi Izraelovi in sinovi Judovi delali od mladih nog samo, kar je bilo hudobno v mojih očeh; kajti sinovi Izraelovi so me samo dražili z delom svojih rok, govori GOSPOD.

³⁰For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.

³¹Ker v jezo in v srd mi je bilo to mesto od dne, ko so ga sezidali, do tega dne, da bi ga odpravil izpred svojega obličja:

³¹For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

³²zavoljo vse hudobnosti sinov Izraelovih in sinov Judovih, ki so jo počenjali, da bi me razdražili, oni in njih kralji in knezi, proroki in možje Judovi in prebivalci jeruzalemski.

³²because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

³³Obrnili so mi hrbet, ne pa obličja; in ko sem jih učil od ranega jutra in neprenehoma, me niso nikakor poslušali, da bi sprejeli nauk.

³³They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

³⁴Ampak postavili so gnusobe svoje v hišo, ki se imenuje po mojem imenu, da jo oskrunijo.

³⁴But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

³⁵In zidali so Baalu višave, ki so v dolini sina Hinomovega, da bi peljali sinove in hčere svoje skozi ogenj Molohu; česar jim nisem bil zapovedal in mi ni prišlo na misel, da store to gnusobo, da bi zapeljevali Judo v greh.

³⁵They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I didn’t command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

³⁶Zdaj torej pravi tako GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, o tem mestu, za katero vi pravite, da je dano v roko kralja babilonskega po meču in po lakoti in kugi:

³⁶Now therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

³⁷Glej, jaz jih zberem iz vseh pokrajin, kamor sem jih pregnal v svoji jezi in v srdu svojem in v veliki togoti, in pripeljem jih nazaj v ta kraj in jim dam prebivati na varnem.

³⁷Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

³⁸In ljudstvo mi bodo in jaz jim bodem Bog.

³⁸and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁹In dam jim eno srce in en pot, da se me bodo bali vse dni, njim v dobro in njih otrokom za njimi.

³⁹and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them:

⁴⁰In sklenem ž njimi zavezo večno, da se ne obrnem od njih, da bi jim ne delal dobrega; in strah svoj dam v njih srce, da ne krenejo od mene.

⁴⁰and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

⁴¹In veselil se jih bom in jim delal dobro, in vsadim jih v to deželo v resnici iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje.

⁴¹Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

⁴²Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: kakor sem pripeljal nad to ljudstvo vso to veliko nesrečo, tako pripeljem nadnje vse to dobro, katero jim obetam.

⁴²For thus says Yahweh: Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.

⁴³Tedaj se bo kupovalo polje v tej deželi, ki pravite, da je opustošena, da ni v njej ne človeka, ne živali, da je dana v roko Kaldejcem.Njive bodo kupovali za denar in vpisavali v pismo in pečatili in privzemali priče v deželi Benjaminovi in v krajih okoli Jeruzalema in v mestih Judovih in v pogorskih mestih in v mestih na nižavi in v mestih na Jugu; kajti pripeljem nazaj njih ujetnike, govori GOSPOD.

⁴³Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

⁴⁴Njive bodo kupovali za denar in vpisavali v pismo in pečatili in privzemali priče v deželi Benjaminovi in v krajih okoli Jeruzalema in v mestih Judovih in v pogorskih mestih in v mestih na nižavi in v mestih na Jugu; kajti pripeljem nazaj njih ujetnike, govori GOSPOD.

⁴⁴Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yahweh.
