Jeremija 17
1 Judin grijeh upisan je željeznom pisaljkom, urezan dijamantnim vrškom u pločicu njihova srca i u rogove njihovih žrtvenika,
"The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;
2 kao spomen sinovima njihovim na žrtvenike njihove i ašere njihove oko zelenog drveća na visokim brežuljcima,
while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
3 na brdima i usred polja. Tvoje bogatstvo i sve blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za grijeh svoj po svoj zemlji.
My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
4 Morat ćeš pustiti baštinu koju sam tebi poklonio. Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ. Jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vječno gorjeti.
You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you do not know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever."
5 Ovako govori Jahve: “Proklet čovjek koji se uzdaje u čovjeka, i slabo tijelo smatra svojom mišicom, i čije se srce od Jahve odvraća.
Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD.
6 Jer on je kao drač u pustinji: ne osjeća kad je sreća na domaku, tavori dane u usahloj pustinji, u zemlji slanoj, nenastanjenoj.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blagoslovljen čovjek koji se uzdaje u Jahvu i kome je Jahve uzdanje.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose confidence is in the LORD.
8 Nalik je na stablo zasađeno uz vodu što korijenje pušta k potoku: ne mora se ničeg bojati kad dođe žega, na njemu uvijek zelenilo ostaje. U sušnoj godini brigu ne brine, ne prestaje donositi plod.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 Podmuklije od svega je srce. Jedva popravljivo, tko da ga pronikne?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
10 Ja, Jahve, istražujem srca i ispitujem bubrege, da bih dao svakom po njegovu vladanju, prema plodu ruku njegovih.
I, the LORD, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
11 Prepelica što leži na jajima a ne leže jest onaj što nepravdom stječe bogatstvo: usred dana svojih ostavit' ga mora i na kraju ostaje lÓuda.
As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool."
12 Slavan prijestol dignut od davnina, to je naše sveto mjesto.
"A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Jahve, nado Izraela, svi koji te ostave postidjet će se, koji se odmetnu od tebe bit će u prah upisani, jer ostaviše Izvor žive vode.
LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living waters.
14 Iscijeli me, Jahve, i bit ću zdrav, spasi me, i bit ću spašen, jer ti si pjesma moja.
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
15 Evo ih što mi govore: Gdje je riječ Jahvina? Neka se ispuni!
Look, they tell me, 'Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now.'
16 Ta ja se nisam vrzao oko tebe za njihovu nesreću niti sam želio kobni Dan! - ti to znaš, sve što je izlazilo iz usta mojih pred tobom je.
As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.
17 Ne budi mi na užas, ti, utočište moje, u Dan nesretni.
Do not be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Progonitelji moji nek' se postide, ne ja, njih smeti, ne mene. Na njih dovedi Dan nesretni, zatri ih dvogubim zatorom!
Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of disaster, and destroy them with double destruction."
19 Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Idi i stani na vrata Sinova naroda na koja ulaze i izlaze kraljevi judejski i na sva vrata jeruzalemska.
Thus said the LORD to me: "Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 Reci im: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi, kraljevi judejski i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci koji prolazite kroz ova vrata.
and tell them, 'Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Ovako govori Jahve: 'Čuvajte se ako vam je život mio i ne nosite tereta u dan subotnji, i ne unosite ga na vrata jeruzalemska.
Thus says the LORD, "Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 I ne nosite bremena iz kuće u dan subotnji, i nikakva posla ne radite, nego svetkujte dan subotnji, kao što sam zapovjedio vašim ocima.
neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Oni me ne poslušaše i ne prikloniše uha svojega, nego tvrdovrato ne poslušaše i ne prihvatiše nauka.
But they did not listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 A vi, ako me poslušate - riječ je Jahvina - i ako ne budete nosili bremena na vrata ovoga grada, nego budete svetkovali dan subotnji, ne radeći nikakva posla,
It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me," says the LORD, "to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work in it;
25 tada će na vrata ovoga grada ulaziti kraljevi koji sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, koji se voze kolima i jašu na konjima, oni i njihovi časnici, Judejci i Jeruzalemci, i ovaj će grad ostati dovijeka.
then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their officials, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
26 I dolazit će iz gradova judejskih, iz okolice Jeruzalema, iz zemlje Benjaminove i iz Šefele, iz Gorja i iz Negeba, da prinesu paljenice, klanice, prinosnice i kad i da prinesu žrtvu zahvalnicu u Domu Jahvinu.
They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of the LORD.
27 Ali ako me ne poslušate te ne budete svetkovali dan subotnji, i ako budete nosili bremena ulazeći na vrata jeruzalemska u dan subotnji, tada ću potpaliti oganj na vratima njegovim: i plamen će proždrijeti dvore jeruzalemske, i neće se ugasiti.'”
But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched."'"
