Jeremija 19
1 Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Idi i kupi vrč glineni. Povedi sa sobom nekoliko starješina narodnih i svećeničkih.
Thus said Jehovah, 'Go, and thou hast got a potter's earthen vessel, and of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,
2 Pođi u Dolinu Ben Hinom, na ulazu Vrata lončarskih. Ondje proglasi riječi koje ću ti kazati.
and thou hast gone forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and hast proclaimed there the words that I speak unto thee,
3 Reci im: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, kraljevi judejski i stanovnici jeruzalemski. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo dovodim nesreću na ovo mjesto te će svima koji to čuju u ušima zazujati.
and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: 'Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of every one who is hearing it do tingle,
4 Zato što su me ostavili i otuđili ovo mjesto prinoseći kad tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznavahu oci njihovi ni kraljevi judejski; i zato što su mjesto ovo natopili krvlju nevinih;
because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make perfume in it to other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
5 i zato što pogradiše uzvišice Baalove da mu spaljuju sinove kao žrtve, a to im ja nikada ne naredih niti zapovjedih, niti mi je takvo što na um palo.
and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor spake of, nor did it come up on My heart.
6 Stoga, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se ovo mjesto neće više zvati Tofet ni Dolina Ben Hinom nego Dolina klanja.
'Therefore, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and this place is not called any more, Tophet, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but, Valley of slaughter.
7 Izjalovit ću na ovom mjestu naum Judeje i Jeruzalema i učiniti da svi poginu od neprijateljskog mača, od ruku onih što im rade o glavi. A trupla ću njihova dati za hranu pticama nebeskim i zvijerima poljskim.
And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcase for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
8 A grad ću ovaj učiniti ruglom i užasom: svaki koji prođe mimo nj zgrozit će se i zviždati zbog svih nesreća njegovih.
and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for all its plagues.
9 I dat ću im da jedu meso sinova i kćeri svojih. Da, svaki će jesti meso bližnjega svoga zbog preteške nevolje kojom će ih pritisnuti njihovi neprijatelji što im rade o glavi.'
And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his friend they do eat, in the siege and in the straitness with which straiten them do their enemies, and those seeking their life.
10 Razbij vrč pred očima svojih pratilaca
'And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with thee,
11 i reci im: Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Tako ću razbiti ovaj narod i ovaj grad, kao što se razbija sud lončarski, te se više ne da popraviti. U Tofetu će se ukapati, jer inače neće biti mjesta za ukapanje.
and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury — without place to bury;
12 Tako ću postupiti s ovim mjestom - riječ je Jahvina - i sa stanovnicima njegovim. I učinit ću grad ovaj sličnim Tofetu.
so I do to this place — an affirmation of Jehovah — and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
13 I sve kuće jeruzalemske i kuće kraljeva judejskih bit će onečišćene kao mjesto Tofet: sve kuće kojima se na krovovima kad prinosi svoj vojsci nebeskoj i lijevaju ljevanice tuđim bogovima.'”
and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been — as the place of Tophet — defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made perfume to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.'
14 Kad se Jeremija vratio iz Tofeta, kamo ga Jahve bijaše poslao da prorokuje, stade u predvorju Doma Jahvina te uze govoriti svemu narodu:
And Jeremiah cometh in from Tophet, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he standeth in the court of the house of Jehovah, and he saith unto all the people:
15 “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, dovest ću na ovaj grad i na sve njegove gradiće sve zlo kojim sam im prijetio, jer ukrutiše vratove svoje ne slušajući riječi mojih.'”
'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto this city, and on all its cities, all the evil that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck — not to hear My words!'
