Jeremija 11
1 Riječ koju je Jahve uputio Jeremiji:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,
2 “Govori Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Reci im: Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Proklet bio čovjek koji ne posluša riječi Saveza ovoga,
And say you to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys not 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 that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your 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 perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, 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.
Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, 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!
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
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.'”
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: 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 among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of 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 back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah 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 will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, 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!
Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
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 Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing, even 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.”
Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me for their trouble.
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?
What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
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 green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and the branches of it are broken.
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.
For the LORD of hosts, that planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal.
18 Jahve mi objavi te znam! Tada mi ti, Jahve, razotkri njihove spletke.
And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
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 was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
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.
But, O LORD of hosts, that judge righteously, that try the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for to you have I revealed 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 of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that you die not by our hand:
22 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Evo, ja ću ih kazniti. Njihovi će mladići od mača poginuti, sinovi i kćeri pomrijet će od gladi.
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23 Ni ostatka neće ostati kad donesem nesreću ljudima u Anatotu u godini kazne njihove.”
And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
