¹O sinovih Amonovih. Tako pravi GOSPOD: Ali nima sinov Izrael? ali nima nobenega dediča? Zakaj ima Malkom [T. j. njih kralj. Ali: Milkom (Moloh), bog Amoncev.] v lasti Gad in ljudstvo njegovo prebiva v mestih Izraelovih?

¹Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

²Zatorej, glej, pridejo dnevi, govori GOSPOD, ko storim, da se bo slišal proti Rabi sinov Amonovih vojni hrup, in bode v kup podrtin in njene vasi se požgo z ognjem. In Izrael bode dedič njih, ki so njegovo last podedovali, govori GOSPOD.

²Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him, says Yahweh.

³Tuli, o Hesbon, kajti opustošen je Aj! Vpijte, hčere Rabe, opašite se z raševino; jokajte in tekajte semtertja med ograjami! kajti Malkom pojde v pregnanstvo, duhovniki in knezi njegovi vsi skupaj.

³Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

⁴Kaj se ponašaš z dolinami, da je polna dolina tvoja, o hči verolomna? ki se zanašaš na zaklade svoje, govoreč: Kdo bi me napadel?

⁴Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?

⁵Glej, jaz izpustim zoper tebe grozo od vseh okoličanov tvojih, govori Gospod, Jehova nad vojskami; in odženo vas, vsakega v stran njegovo, in nikogar ne bode, da bi zbiral tavajoče. –

⁵Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

⁶Vendar pripeljem potem nazaj ujetnike sinov Amonovih, govori GOSPOD.

⁶But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says Yahweh.

⁷O Edomu. Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami: Ali ni nobene modrosti več v Temani? Je li izginil sv?t med razumnimi, minila njih modrost?

⁷Of Edom. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

⁸Bežíte, obrnite se, iščite globoka prebivališča, o prebivalci v Dedanu; zakaj nesrečo Ezavovo pripeljem nadenj, čas, ko ga obiščem.

⁸Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.

⁹Če ti pridejo trgači, ali bi ne pustili paberkov grozdja? če tatje po noči, bi pokončali, kar bi jim bilo zadosti?

⁹If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, wouldn’t they destroy until they had enough?

¹⁰Ali jaz sem ogolil Ezava, odkril, kar je bilo skritega, in ne bo se mogel skriti; opustošeno je seme njegovo in bratje njegovi in sosedje njegovi, in ni jih več.

¹⁰But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.

¹¹Popústi sirote svoje, jaz jih ohranim žive, in vdove tvoje naj stavijo up svoj name.

¹¹Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.

¹²Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, katerim ni bilo sojeno piti to čašo, jo morajo piti; ti pa sam naj bi bil čisto brez kazni? Ne bodeš brez kazni, ampak gotovo boš pil.

¹²For thus says Yahweh: Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.

¹³Kajti pri sebi sem prisegel, govori GOSPOD, da bode Bozra v strmenje, sramoto, razdejanje in preklinjanje; in vsa mesta edomska bodo večne puščave.

¹³For I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.

¹⁴Glas sem čul od GOSPODA, in poslanec je poslan k narodom: Zberite se in napadite ga in vstanite na boj!

¹⁴I have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

¹⁵Zakaj, glej, majhnega sem te naredil med narodi, zaničevanega med ljudmi.

¹⁵For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.

¹⁶Groznost tvoja in prevzetnost duše tvoje te je premotila, o ti, ki prebivaš v brlogih skalnatih, ki si zasedel griča višino. Če napraviš visoko kakor orel gnezdo svoje, vržem te odondod doli, govori GOSPOD.

¹⁶As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

¹⁷In Edom postane stvar strmenja: kdorkoli pojde mimo njega, bo strmel in žvižgal zavoljo vseh kazni njegovih.

¹⁷Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.

¹⁸Kakor so bila podrta Sodoma in Gomora in sosednja mesta, pravi GOSPOD: nihče ne bo stanoval ondi in bival ne bo v njem sin človekov.

¹⁸As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it, says Yahweh, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

¹⁹Glej, kakor lev gre gori od veličja Jordanovega zoper trdno prebivališče; ali pri tej priči ga zapodim v beg iz te dežele, in njega, ki je izvoljen, postavim nadnjo. Kajti kdo je meni enak? ali kdo bi me pozval na sodbo? in kdo je tisti pastir, ki bi mogel stati pred menoj?

¹⁹Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

²⁰Zatorej čujte sklep GOSPODOV, ki ga je storil zoper Edoma, in misli njegove, ki jih je nameraval zoper prebivalce Temanove: Gotovo jih odvlečejo, najmanjše iz črede; gotovo se opustoši njih prebivališče ž njimi vred.

²⁰Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

²¹Od glasu njih padca se potrese zemlja; vpitja glas se bo slišal do Rdečega morja.

²¹The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

²²Glej, kakor orel pride sovražnik gori in prileti in razpne peruti svoje nad Bozro; in srce junakov Edomovih bode tisti dan kakor srce ženske, trpeče porodne bolečine.

²²Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

²³O Damasku. Hamat je osramočen in Arpad; kajti zaslišala sta hudo poročilo, obupavata; na morju je nemir, počivati se ne more.

²³Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can’t be quiet.

²⁴Malosrčen je postal Damask, obrača se, da bi bežal, treslica ga prevzema; težava z bolečinami ga popada kakor ženo o porodu.

²⁴Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

²⁵„Kako da ni zapuščeno mesto, tako hvaljeno, mesto veselja mojega?“

²⁵How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

²⁶Zato bodo padali mladeniči njegovi po ulicah njegovih in vsi vojskovalci njegovi bodo pokončani tisti dan, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

²⁶Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh of Armies.

²⁷In ogenj zažgem na zidovju v Damasku, ki pokonča Ben-hadadove gradove.

²⁷I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.

²⁸O Kedarju in o kraljestvih Hazorjevih, ki jih je porazil Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski. Tako pravi GOSPOD: Vstanite, idite gori nad Kedar in pustošite otroke Jutrove dežele.

²⁸Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Yahweh: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

²⁹Njih šatore, in njih črede vzamejo; njih šatorske preproge in vse njih orodje in njih velblode odpeljejo zase; in zoper nje bodo klicali: Groza okroginokrog!

²⁹Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

³⁰Bežite, hitro zapustite deželo, iščite globoka prebivališča, o prebivalci v Hazorju! govori GOSPOD; kajti Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, je storil sklep zoper vas in je zasnoval naklep proti vam.

³⁰Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor, says Yahweh; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

³¹Vstanite, idite gori k pokojnemu narodu, ki prebiva brez skrbi, govori GOSPOD, ki nimajo ne vrat, ne zapaha, sami prebivajo.

³¹Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Yahweh; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.

³²In njih velblodi bodo ugrabljeni in množica njih ovac uplenjena; in razkropim jih na vse vetrove, nje, ki so ostriženi ob krajih glave; in od vseh strani pripeljem njih nesrečo, govori GOSPOD.

³²Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Yahweh.

³³Tako bode Hazor prebivališče šakalom, puščava za vselej: nihče ne bo stanoval ondi in bival ne bo v njem sin človekov.

³³Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

³⁴Beseda GOSPODOVA, ki je prišla Jeremiju proroku zoper Elama, v začetku kraljevanja Zedekija, kralja Judovega, govoreč:

³⁴The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

³⁵Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami: Glej, jaz zlomim lok Elamov, vrhunec njegove moči.

³⁵Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

³⁶In pripeljem zoper Elama štiri vetrove od štirih krajev nebes in jih razkropim na vse tiste vetrove, da ne bode naroda, kamor bi ne prišel kak pregnanec iz Elama.

³⁶On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

³⁷In preplašenega storim Elama spričo njegovih sovražnikov in spričo njih, ki jim strežejo po življenju, ter spravim nadnje nesrečo, gorečo jezo svojo, govori GOSPOD; in meč pošljem za njimi, dokler jih ne pokončam.

³⁷I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says Yahweh; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;

³⁸In postavim prestol svoj v Elamu in pogubim odtam kralja in kneze, govori GOSPOD. –Ali zgodi se v poslednjih dneh, da pripeljem nazaj ujetnike Elamove, govori GOSPOD.

³⁸and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes, says Yahweh.

³⁹Ali zgodi se v poslednjih dneh, da pripeljem nazaj ujetnike Elamove, govori GOSPOD.

³⁹But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, says Yahweh.
