Jeremija 11
1 Riječ koju je Jahve uputio Jeremiji:
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying,
2 “Govori Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
Hear you the words of this covenant, and you shall speak to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem;
3 Reci im: Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Proklet bio čovjek koji ne posluša riječi Saveza ovoga,
and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Cursed is the man, who shall not listen to the words of this covenant,
4 riječi koje sam zapovjedio ocima vašim kad sam ih izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz one peći ražarene, govoreći: Poslušajte glas moj i činite sve što vam zapovjedim: tada ćete biti narod moj, a ja vaš Bog,
which I commanded your fathers, in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all things that I shall command you; so shall you be to me a people, and I will be to you a God;
5 da bih ispunio zakletvu kojom sam se zakleo ocima vašim da ću im dati zemlju u kojoj teče mlijeko i med - kao što je danas.'” A ja odgovorih i rekoh: “Tako je, Jahve.”
that I may confirm mine oath, which I sware to your fathers, to give them a land flowing [with] milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, O Lord.
6 I dalje mi reče Jahve: “Objavi riječi ove po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim: 'Poslušajte riječi Saveza ovoga, te ih izvršavajte.
And the Lord said to me, Read these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Jer sam ozbiljno opominjao očeve vaše kad sam ih izvodio iz zemlje egipatske i do danas ih neumorno opominjem: Poslušajte glas moj!
8 Ali oni ne slušahu i ne prignuše uha svojega, nego se povedoše za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga. Zato dopustih da se na njima ispune sve riječi Saveza ovoga za koji im zapovjedih da ga se pridržavaju, ali ga se oni ne pridržavahu.'”
But they did [them] not.
9 I reče mi Jahve: “Zavjera je među Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found amongst the men of Juda, and amongst the dwellers in Jerusalem.
10 Vratiše se bezakonjima svojih otaca koji se oglušiše na moje riječi, pa trčahu za tuđim bogovima da im služe. Dom Izraelov i dom Judin prekršiše Savez moj koji sam sklopio s ocima njihovim.”
They are turned [aside] to the iniquities of their fathers that were of old, who would not listen to my words: and, behold, they go after strange gods, to serve them: and the house of Israel and the house of Juda have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, dovest ću na njih zlo kojemu neće umaći; vapit će k meni, ali ih ja neću slušati.
Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evils upon this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Onda neka gradovi judejski i žitelji jeruzalemski vapiju k bogovima kojima kade, ali im oni neće pomoći u vrijeme nevolje!
And the cities of Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense; which shall not deliver them in the time of their troubles.
13 Jer imaš, o Judejo, bogova koliko i gradova! I koliko ima ulica u Jeruzalemu, toliko žrtvenika podigoste da kadite Baalu.
For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to burn incense to Baal.
14 Ti, dakle, ne moli milosti za taj narod, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, jer ih neću uslišiti kad me zazovu u nevolji svojoj.”
And you, pray not for this people, and intercede not for them in supplication and prayer: for I will not hear in the day in which they call upon me, in the day of their affliction.
15 Što li će draga moja u Domu mome? Kuje zle osnove. Hoće li pretilina i meso posvećeno ukloniti zlo od tebe? Mogu li te stoga proglasiti čistom?
Why has [my] beloved wrought abomination in my house? will prayers and holy offerings take away your wickedness from you, or shall you escape by these things?
16 “Zelena maslina lijepa uzrasta”, tako te Jahve nazva. A sada uz prasak veliki plamenom sažiže njeno lišće; spaljene su grane njene.
The Lord called your name a fair olive tree, of a goodly shade in appearance, at the noise of its being lopped, fire was kindled against it; great is the affliction [coming] upon you: her branches are become good for nothing.
17 Jahve nad Vojskama, koji te bijaše posadio, nesreću ti namijeni zbog zločina što ga učini dom Izraelov i dom Judin kadeći Baalu da bi mene razgnjevili.
And the Lord that planted you has pronounced evils against you, because of the iniquity of the house of Israel and the house of Juda, whatever they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
18 Jahve mi objavi te znam! Tada mi ti, Jahve, razotkri njihove spletke.
O Lord, teach me, and I shall know: then I saw their practices.
19 A ja bijah kao jagnje krotko što ga vode na klanje i ne slutih da protiv mene snuju pakosne naume. “Uništimo drvo još snažno, iskorijenimo ga iz zemlje živih, da mu se ime nikad više ne spominje!”
But I as an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, knew not: against me they devised an evil device, saying, Come and let us put wood into his bread, and let us utterly destroy him from off the land of the living, and let his name not be remembered any more.
20 Ali ti, Jahve nad Vojskama, koji pravedno sudiš, koji ispituješ srca i bubrege, daj da vidim kako se njima osvećuješ, jer tebi povjerih parnicu svoju.
O Lord, that judge righteously, trying the reins and hearts, let me see your vengeance [taken] upon them, for to you I have declared my cause.
21 Zato Jahve nad Vojskama govori protiv ljudi u Anatotu koji mi rade o glavi i govore: “Ne prorokuj više u ime Jahvino, da ne pogineš od ruke naše!”
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek my life, that say, You shall not prophesy at all in the name of the Lord, but if you do, you shall die by our hands:
22 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Evo, ja ću ih kazniti. Njihovi će mladići od mača poginuti, sinovi i kćeri pomrijet će od gladi.
behold, I will visit them: their young men shall die by the sword; and their sons and their daughters shall die of famine:
23 Ni ostatka neće ostati kad donesem nesreću ljudima u Anatotu u godini kazne njihove.”
and there shall be no remnant [left] of them; for I will bring evil upon the dwellers in Anathoth, in the year of their visitation.
