Jeremija 16
1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina i reče:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 “Ne uzimaj sebi žene; i nemaj ni sinova ni kćeri na ovome mjestu.
“You do not take a wife to yourself, Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.”
3 Jer ovako govori Jahve o kćerima i sinovima koji će se roditi na ovome mjestu i o majkama koje će ih rađati i o očevima koji će ih imati u ovoj zemlji:
For thus said YHWH, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers—those bearing them, And of their fathers—those begetting them in this land:
4 Oni će umrijeti smrću prebolnom, nitko ih neće oplakivati, niti će ih sahraniti. Pretvorit će se u gnoj za oranice, izginut će od mača i gladi, a njihova će trupla biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.”
“They die painful deaths, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground, And are consumed by sword and by famine, And their carcass has been for food To the bird of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.”
5 Da, ovako govori Jahve: “Ne smiješ ući u kuću žalosti, ne idi naricati niti ih sažaljevati. Jer ja sam tom narodu uskratio mir svoj - riječ je Jahvina - ljubav i samilost.
For thus said YHWH: “Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people,” A declaration of YHWH, “The kindness and the mercies.
6 Pomrijet će veliko i malo u ovoj zemlji i nitko ih neće pokopati. Nitko neće naricati nad njima, niti će zbog njih praviti ureza, niti kose šišati.
And great and small have died in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor does any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
7 Za onog u žalosti neće kruh lomiti, da ga utješe zbog pokojnika, nitiće mu tko pružiti pehar utjehe zbog smrti njegova oca ili majke njegove.
Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
8 Ne ulazi u kuću slavlja da s njima sjediš i gostiš se.”
You do not enter a house of banqueting, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,”
9 Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Evo, učinit ću da s ovog mjesta i pred vašim očima i u ovim danima iščeznu poklici radosti i veselja i glasovi zaručnika i zaručnice.
For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
10 A kad objaviš tom narodu sve ove riječi, pa te upitaju: 'Zašto nam Jahve zaprijeti svom ovom golemom nesrećom; u čemu je zločinstvo naše i u čemu su grijesi naši što ih počinismo protiv Jahve, Boga našega?' -
And it has come to pass, When you declare all these words to this people, And they have said to you, Why has YHWH spoken all this great evil against us? Indeed, what [is] our iniquity, and what [is] our sin, That we have sinned against our God YHWH?
11 onda im odgovori: 'U tom što me ostaviše oci vaši - riječ je Jahvina - i trčaše za tuđim bogovima da im služe i da im se klanjaju, a mene ostaviše i Zakona se moga ne držaše.
Then you have said to them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, A declaration of YHWH, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And have forsaken Me, and not kept My law,
12 A vi još gore učiniste nego oci vaši, jer evo, svaki se povodi za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga, a mene ne sluša.
You also have done evil above your fathers, And behold, you are each walking after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to listen to Me.
13 Zato ću vas istjerati iz ove zemlje u zemlju koja vam je neznana, kao što bijaše i ocima vašim. Ondje ćete služiti tuđim bogovima danju i noću: jer neću vam se više smilovati!'”
And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that you have not known, You and your fathers, And you have served other gods there by day and by night, Where I do not give grace to you.
14 “Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz Egipta',
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is not said anymore, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
15 nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao.' Vratit ću ih u zemlju njihovu koju dadoh ocima njihovim.
But, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands to where He drove them, And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
16 Evo, poslat ću mnoga ribara - riječ je Jahvina - koji će ih uloviti. A zatim ću dovesti mnoge lovce koji će ih goniti sa svih gora, i sa svih brežuljaka, i iz svih pećinskih rasjeklina.
Behold, I am sending for many fishers,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
17 Jer moje oči prate sve njihove putove: neće mi izmaći, niti se bezakonje njihovo može sakriti od očiju mojih.
For My eyes [are] on all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor has their iniquity been concealed from before My eyes.
18 Dvostruko ću naplatiti njihovo bezakonje i grijehe njihove, jer su truplima svojih grozota oskvrnuli moju zemlju i moju baštinu ispunili gnusobama.”
And I have repaid a first—A second time—their iniquity and their sin, Because of their defiling My land, With the carcass of their detestable things, Indeed, their abominations have filled My inheritance.”
19 Jahve, snago moja i moja utvrdo, utočište moje u danima nevolje! K tebi će doći narodi s krajeva zemlje. I govorit će: Samu nam laž oci namriješe, Ništavost i Nemoć.
O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Nations come to You from the ends of the earth, And say, “Our fathers only inherited falsehood, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.”
20 TÓa stvara li čovjek sam sebi bogove, to nikako nisu bogovi.
Does man make gods for himself, And they—no gods?
21 Učinit ću, evo, da osjete, da ovaj put zaista oćute moju ruku i snagu moju, i znat će da mi je ime Jahve.
“Therefore, behold, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My Name [is] YHWH!”
