Jeremija 23
1 “Jao pastirima koji upropašćuju i raspršuju ovce paše moje” - riječ je Jahvina.
Woe be vnto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheepe of my pasture, saith the Lord.
2 Stoga ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, protiv pastira koji pasu narod moj: “Vi ste raspršili ovce moje, rastjerali ih, niste se brinuli za njih. Zato ću se ja sada pobrinuti za vas zbog zlodjela vaših - riječ je Jahvina.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel vnto the pastors that feede my people, Yee haue scattered my flock and thrust them out, and haue not visited them: beholde, I will visite you for the wickednesse of your works, saith the Lord.
3 I sam ću skupiti ostatak svojih ovaca iz svih zemalja kamo sam ih raspršio i vratiti ih na ispaše njihove: bit će plodne i množit će se.
And I will gather the remnant of my sheepe out of all countreyes, whither I had driuen them, and will bring them againe to their foldes, and they shall growe and encrease.
4 I podići ću im pastire da ih pasu te se ničega više neće bojati ni plašiti, niti će se gubiti” - riječ je Jahvina.
And I will set vp shepheardes ouer them, which shall feede them: and they shall dread no more nor be afraide, neither shall any of them be lacking, saith the Lord.
5 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - podići ću Davidu izdanak pravedni. On će vladati kao kralj i biti mudar i činit će pravo i pravicu u zemlji.
Behold, The dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will raise vnto Dauid a righteous branche, and a King shall reigne, and prosper, and shall execute iudgement, and iustice in the earth.
6 U njegove će dane Judeja biti spašena i Izrael će živjeti spokojno. I evo imena kojim će ga nazivati: 'Jahve, Pravda naša.'
In his dayes Iudah shalbe saued, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the Name wherby they shall call him, The Lord our righteousnesse.
7 Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje egipatske',
Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the lande of Egypt,
8 nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji potomstvo doma Izraelova izvede i dovede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao, tako da obitavaju u zemlji svojoj.'”
But the Lord liueth, which brought vp and led the seede of the house of Israel out of the North countrey and from all countryes where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their owne lande.
9 Prorocima. Srce je u meni skrhano, dršću mi kosti, sličan sam pijancu, čovjeku kojim vino ovlada, pred licem Jahvinim i njegovim svetim riječima:
Mine heart breaketh within mee, because of the prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whome wine hath ouercome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holie wordes.
10 “Jer zemlja je puna preljubnika; zbog tih se ljudi zemlja u crno zavila, a ispaše u pustinji sagorješe. Njihova je trka zloba, a moć im je nepravda.
For the lande is full of adulterers, and because of othes the lande mourneth, the pleasant places of the wildernesse are dried vp, and their course is euill, and their force is not right.
11 Da, i prorok i svećenik zlikovci su, čak i u Domu svome nađoh im pakost” - riječ je Jahvina.
For both the prophet and the Priest doe wickedly: and their wickednesse haue I found in mine House, saith the Lord.
12 Stog' će im se puti prometnuti u tlo klizavo: u mraku će posrtati i padati. Jer ja ću na njih svaliti nesreću u godine kazne njihove” - riječ je Jahvina.
Wherefore their way shalbe vnto them as slipperie wayes in the darknesse: they shalbe driuen foorth and fall therein: for I will bring a plague vpon them, euen the yeere of their visitation, saith the Lord.
13 “I u proroka Samarije vidjeh mnoge ludosti: prorokuju u Baalovo ime i zavode narod moj izraelski.
And I haue seene foolishnesse in the prophets of Samaria, that prophecied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to erre.
14 Ali u proroka jeruzalemskih vidjeh strahote: preljub, prijevarne putove, jačaju ruke zločincima, te se nitko od zločina svojih ne obraća. Svi su mi oni kao Sodoma, a žitelji kao Gomora!”
I haue seene also in the prophets of Ierusalem filthines: they commit adulterie and walke in lies: they strengthen also the hands of the wicked that none can returne from his wickednesse: they are all vnto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorah.
15 I zato Jahve nad Vojskama ovako govori o prorocima: “Evo, nahranit ću ih pelinom i napojiti vodom zatrovanom, jer od proroka jeruzalemskih potječe pokvara u svoj zemlji.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes concerning the prophets, Beholde, I will feede them with wormewood, and make them drinke the water of gall: for from the prophets of Ierusalem is wickednesse gone forth into all the lande.
16 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Ne slušajte riječi proroka: oni vas obmanjuju, objavljuju viđenja srca svoga, a ne što dolazi iz usta Jahvinih;
Thus sayth ye Lord of hosts, Heare not the wordes of the prophets that prophecie vnto you, and teach you vanitie: they speake the vision of their owne heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 govore onima što preziru riječ Jahvinu: 'Bit će s vama mir!' a onima što slijede glas svog srca okorjelog: 'Nikakvo vas zlo neće snaći!'”
They say still vnto them that despise mee, The Lord hath sayde, Ye shall haue peace: and they say vnto euery one that walketh after the stubbernesse of his owne heart, No euill shall come vpon you.
18 TÓa tko bijaše na vijećanju Jahvinu, tko je vidio, tko slušao riječ njegovu? Tko ju je shvatio te je može objaviti?
For who hath stand in the counsel of the Lord that he hath perceiued and heard his word? Who hath marked his worde and heard it?
19 Gle, nevrijeme Jahvino: jarost provaljuje, razmahuje se vihor silan i svaljuje na glave bezbožničke.
Beholde, the tempest of the Lord goeth forth in his wrath, and a violent whirlewinde shall fall downe vpon the head of the wicked.
20 Jahvin se gnjev neće stišati, dok on ne izvrši i ne ispuni naume srca svojega. U dane posljednje jasno ćete to razumjeti.
The anger of the Lord shall not returne vntill he haue executed, and till he haue perfourmed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter dayes ye shall vnderstande it plainely.
21 “Ne poslah ti proroka, a ipak trče! Ne govorih im, a ipak prorokuju!
I haue not sent these prophets, sayth the Lord, yet they ranne; I haue not spoken to them, and yet they prophecied.
22 Jest, da bijahu na mom vijećanju, moje bi riječi narodu mom obznanili, i kušali ih svrnuti sa zla puta njihova i od zlodjela njihovih!
But if they had stande in my counsell, and had declared my words to my people, then they should haue turned them from their euill way, and from the wickednesse of their inuentions.
23 TÓa, zar sam ja Bog samo iz blizine - riječ je Jahvina - zar iz daljine nisam više Bog?
Am I a God at hande, saith the Lord, and not a God farre off?
24 Može li se tko skriti u skrovištima da ga ja ne vidim? - riječ je Jahvina. Ne ispunjam li ja nebo i zemlju? - riječ je Jahvina.
Can any hide him selfe in secrete places, that I shall not see him, sayth the Lord? Do not I fill heauen and earth, saieth the Lord?
25 Čuo sam što govore proroci koji prorokuju laži u ime moje i tvrde: 'Usnio sam! Usnio sam!'
I haue heard what the prophets said, that prophecie lies in my Name, saying, I haue dreamed, I haue dreamed.
26 Dokle će među prorocima biti onih koji prorokuju laž i objavljuju prijevaru srca svojega?
Howe long? Doe the prophets delite to prophecie lies, euen prophecying the deceit of their owne heart?
27 Misle da će svojim snima što ih jedan drugom pripovijedaju postići da narod moj zaboravi ime moje, kao što već oci njihovi zaboraviše ime moje uz Baala!
Thinke they to cause my people to forget my Name by their dreames, which they tell euery man to his neyghbour, as their forefathers haue forgotten my Name for Baal?
28 Prorok koji je usnio san neka samo pripovijeda svoj san, a u koga je riječ moja, neka po istini objavljuje riječ moju!” “Što je zajedničko slami i žitu? - riječ je Jahvina.
The prophet that hath a dreame, let him tell a dreame, and hee that hath my worde, let him speake my worde faithfully: what is the chaffe to the wheate, sayth the Lord?
29 Nije li riječ moja poput vatre - riječ je Jahvina - i nije li slična malju što razbija pećinu?
Is not my word euen like a fire, sayeth the Lord? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?
30 Evo me stoga protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji jedan drugome kradu moje riječi.
Therefore beholde, I will come against the prophets, saieth the Lord, that steale my word euerie one from his neighbour.
31 Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji mlate jezikom i proroštva kuju.
Beholde, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, which haue sweete tongues, and say, He saith.
32 Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji prorokuju izmišljene snove i pripovijedajući ih zavode narod moj izmišljotinama svojim i lažima. A ja ih nisam poslao, niti sam im što zapovjedio, niti su narodu ovome od kakve koristi - riječ je Jahvina.
Beholde, I will come against them that prophecie false dreames, saith the Lord, and doe tell them, and cause my people to erre by their lies, and by their flatteries, and I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they bring no profite vnto this people, saith the Lord.
33 A ako te ovaj narod, ili prorok, ili svećenik, zapita: 'Što je breme Jahvino?' odgovori im: 'Vi ste breme Jahvino i ja vas odbacujem' - riječ je Jahvina.
And when this people, or the prophet, or a Priest shall aske thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say vnto them, What burden? I will euen forsake you, saith the Lord.
34 A reče li koji prorok ili svećenik, ili tko iz naroda: 'Breme Jahvino', kaznit ću toga čovjeka i dom njegov.
And the prophet, or the Priest, or the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will euen visite euerie such one, and his house.
35 Ovako morate govoriti svaki svome bližnjemu i svaki svome bratu: 'Što je Jahve odgovorio?' ili 'Što je Jahve rekao?'
Thus shall yee say euery one to his neighbour, and euerie one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
36 Ali 'Breme Jahvino' da više niste spomenuli, jer je breme svakome riječ njegova.” Jer vi iskrivljujete riječi Boga živoga, Jahve nad Vojskama, našega Boga!
And the burden of the Lord shall yee mention no more: for euery mans worde shall bee his burden: for ye haue peruerted the words of the liuing God, the Lord of hostes our God.
37 Ovako reci proroku: “Što ti je Jahve odgovorio?” ili “Što je Jahve rekao?”
Thus shalt thou say to the Prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken?
38 Ali ako kažete “Breme Jahvino”, ovako govori Jahve: “Zato što se služite riječju 'Breme Jahvino', premda sam vam poručio da je ne izgovarate,
And if you say, The burden of the Lord, Then thus saith the Lord, Because yee say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I haue sent vnto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord,
39 ja ću visoko podići i odbaciti od lica svojega vas i vaš grad što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim!
Therefore beholde, I, euen I will vtterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the citie that I gaue you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence,
40 I svalit ću na vas vječnu sramotu i vječnu porugu koja se neće zaboraviti.”
And will bring an euerlasting reproche vpon you, and a perpetual shame which shall neuer be forgotten.
