¹Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju zoper vse Jude, ki so prebivali v deželi egiptovski, stanujoč v Migdolu in Tahpanhesu in Nofu in v deželi Patroški, rekoč:

¹The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

²Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Vi ste videli vso tisto nesrečo, ki sem jo pripeljal nad Jeruzalem in nad vsa mesta Judova, tako da so, glej, puščava današnji dan, nihče ne prebiva v njih;

²Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells therein,

³zavoljo njih hudobnosti, ki so jo počenjali, da bi me dražili, ko so hodili kadit in častit tuje bogove, ki jih niso poznali ne oni, ne vi ali očetje vaši.

³because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods, that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

⁴Ko sem pa k vam pošiljal vse služabnike svoje, proroke, od ranega jutra in neprenehoma, govoreč: Ne delajte vendar te gnusobe, ki jo sovražim!

⁴However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.

⁵vendar niso poslušali in niso nagnili ušesa svojega, da bi se izpreobrnili od hudobnosti svoje, da bi ne kadili tujim bogovom.

⁵But they didn’t listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.

⁶Zato se je razlila togota in jeza moja, in vnela se je v mestih Judovih in po ulicah jeruzalemskih, da so bile opustošene, zapuščene, kakor so dandanašnji.

⁶Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.

⁷Sedaj pa pravi tako GOSPOD, Bog nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Zakaj počenjate to veliko hudobnost zoper svoje duše, da bi pokončali moža in ženo, otroka in dojenca iz Jude, da si ne zapustite več ostankov?

⁷Therefore now thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the midst of Judah, to leave yourselves none remaining;

⁸Dražite me z deli svojih rok, kadeč tujim bogovom v deželi Egiptovski, kamor ste prišli prebivat, da bi pokončali sebe in bi postali kletev in sramota pri vseh narodih na zemlji!

⁸in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

⁹Ali ste mar pozabili hudobnosti očetov svojih in hudobnosti kraljev Judovih in hudobnosti njih žen in svoje hudobnosti in hudobnosti žen svojih, ki so jih počenjali v deželi Judovi in po ulicah jeruzalemskih?

⁹Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁰Niso bili potrti do tega dne in niso se bali, tudi niso hodili po postavi in po naredbah mojih, ki sem jih del pred oči vam in očetom vašim.

¹⁰They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

¹¹Zatorej pravi tako GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Glej, jaz obrnem obličje svoje proti vam v hudo, da iztrebim vse Judove.

¹¹Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

¹²In vzamem ostanke Judove, ki so obrnili obličje svoje, da pojdejo v deželo Egiptovsko prebivat, in uničeni bodo vsi, padli bodo v deželi Egiptovski: meč, lakota jih uniči, od najmanjšega do največjega pomrjo po meču in lakoti; in bodo v preklinjanje in strmenje, v kletev in sramoto.

¹²I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

¹³Kajti kaznoval bom nje, ki prebivajo v deželi Egiptovski, kakor sem kaznoval Jeruzalem z mečem, lakoto in kugo;

¹³For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

¹⁴tako da ga ne bode izmed ostankov Judovih, ki so šli v deželo Egiptovsko prebivat, ki bi ušel ali ostal in bi se povrnil v deželo Judovo, kamor jih vleče hrepenenje, da se smejo povrniti in prebivati tam; kajti ne povrnejo se, razen nekoliko ubežnikov.

¹⁴so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.

¹⁵Odgovore pa Jeremiju vsi možje, ki so vedeli, da njih žene kade tujim bogovom, in vse ženske, ki jih je tu stala velika množica, in vse ljudstvo prebivajočih v deželi Egiptovski v Patrosu in reko:

¹⁵Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

¹⁶Kar se tiče besede, ki si jo nam oznanil v imenu GOSPODOVEM, ne bomo te poslušali nikakor;

¹⁶As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we will not listen to you.

¹⁷ampak gotovo storimo, kar koli pride iz naših ust, kadeč kraljici nebeški in darujoč ji pitne daritve, kakor smo delali mi in očetje naši, kralji in knezi naši v mestih Judovih in po ulicah jeruzalemskih. Takrat smo imeli obilo kruha in bili smo veseli in hudega nismo izkusili.

¹⁷But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

¹⁸Odkar pa smo nehali kaditi nebeški kraljici in ji darovati pitne daritve, pogrešamo vsega in meč in lakota nas pokončujeta.

¹⁸But since we left off burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

¹⁹Ko smo pa kadile nebeški kraljici in ji darovale pitne daritve, ali ji brez vednosti svojih mož delamo kolače, da jo počastimo, in ji darujemo pitne daritve?

¹⁹When we burned incense to the queen of the sky, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?

²⁰A Jeremija reče vsemu ljudstvu, možem in ženam in vsemu ljudstvu, ki so mu tako odgovorili, in veli:

²⁰Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

²¹Tistega kadila, ki ste ga palili v mestih Judovih in po ulicah jeruzalemskih vi in očetje vaši, kralji in knezi vaši in ljudstvo dežele, ali se ga ni spomnil GOSPOD in ni li mu prišlo v misli?

²¹The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t Yahweh remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?

²²In GOSPOD ni mogel tega več trpeti zavoljo hudobnosti vaših del, zavoljo gnusob, ki ste jih delali. Zato je dežela vaša postala puščava, stvar strmenja in preklinjanja, brez prebivalcev, kakor je dan današnji.

²²so that Yahweh could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.

²³Zato ker ste kadili in ker ste grešili zoper GOSPODA in niste poslušali glasu GOSPODOVEGA in niste živeli po njegovi postavi in po naredbah in pričevanjih njegovih: zato vas je zadela ta nesreča, kakor je dan današnji.

²³Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day.

²⁴Še reče Jeremija vsemu ljudstvu in vsem ženam: Poslušajte besedo GOSPODOVO, vsi Judovi, ki ste v deželi Egiptovski:

²⁴Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:

²⁵Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Vi in žene vaše ste govorili z usti svojimi in svojeročno ste to dopolnili, ko ste rekli: Gotovo izpolnimo obljube svoje, ki smo jih obljubili, da bomo kadili kraljici nebeški in ji darovali pitne daritve. Torej le opravljajte obljube svoje in vsekakor izpolnjujte obljube svoje!

²⁵Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows.

²⁶Zato poslušajte besedo GOSPODOVO, vsi Judje, ki prebivate v deželi Egiptovski: Glejte, jaz sem prisegel pri svojem velikem imenu, pravi GOSPOD, da se ne bo nikdar več imenovalo ime moje z usti katerega moža judovskega v vsej deželi Egiptovski, da bi rekel: Kakor res živi GOSPOD!

²⁶Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says Yahweh, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Yahweh lives.

²⁷Glej, jaz čujem nad njimi v hudo, a ne v dobro; in vse može Judove, ki so v deželi Egiptovski, končata meč in lakota, dokler ne poginejo.

²⁷Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.

²⁸In kateri ubeže meču, se vrnejo iz dežele Egiptovske v deželo Judovo, neznatni po številu. In izkusi ves ostanek Judov, kolikor jih je šlo v deželo Egiptovsko, da bi tam prebivali, čigava beseda obvelja, moja ali njihna.

²⁸Those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.

²⁹In to vam bodi znamenje, govori GOSPOD, da vas bom kaznoval na tem kraju, da bi vedeli, da res obveljajo besede moje zoper vas v hudo.Tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, jaz dam Faraona Hofra, kralja egiptovskega, v roko sovražnikov njegovih in v pest njim, ki mu strežejo po življenju, kakor sem dal Zedekija, kralja Judovega, v roko Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, sovražnika njegovega in ki mu je stregel po življenju.

²⁹This shall be the sign to you, says Yahweh, that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

³⁰Tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, jaz dam Faraona Hofra, kralja egiptovskega, v roko sovražnikov njegovih in v pest njim, ki mu strežejo po življenju, kakor sem dal Zedekija, kralja Judovega, v roko Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, sovražnika njegovega in ki mu je stregel po življenju.

³⁰Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.
