Jeremija 23
1 “Jao pastirima koji upropašćuju i raspršuju ovce paše moje” - riječ je Jahvina.
Woe to the shepherds, Who lose and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith Jehovah.
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.
For concerning the shepherds, the feeders of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, And have not taken care of them. Behold, I am about to requite you For the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah.
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.
But I will gather the remnant of my flock From all the countries whither I have driven them, And I will bring them back to their folds, And they shall be fruitful and increase.
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 raise up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; They shall fear no more, nor be dismayed; Nor shall they be lost, saith Jehovah.
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 days are coming, saith Jehovah, When I will raise up from David a righteous Branch, And a king shall reign and prosper, And shall maintain justice and equity in the land.
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 days Judah shall be saved, And Israel shall dwell securely; And this is the name which shall be given him, Jehovah-is-our-salvation.
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 days shall come, saith Jehovah, When they shall no more say, “As Jehovah liveth Who brought up the children of Israel from the land 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, “As Jehovah liveth Who brought up and led the race of Israel from the north country, And from all the countries whither I had driven them!” And they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Prorocima. Srce je u meni skrhano, dršću mi kosti, sličan sam pijancu, čovjeku kojim vino ovlada, pred licem Jahvinim i njegovim svetim riječima:
Concerning the Prophets. My heart is broken within me; All my bones tremble. I am become like a drunken man, Like a man whom wine hath overcome, Because of Jehovah, And because of his holy words.
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 land is full of adulteries; Because of a curse doth the land mourn; The pastures of the waste are dried up; For they run to do evil, And their might is without right.
11 Da, i prorok i svećenik zlikovci su, čak i u Domu svome nađoh im pakost” - riječ je Jahvina.
Yea, both prophet and priest are profane; Even in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah.
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.
Therefore shall their way become as slippery places in the dark; They shall be driven on and fall therein; For I will bring evil upon them In the time of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
13 “I u proroka Samarije vidjeh mnoge ludosti: prorokuju u Baalovo ime i zavode narod moj izraelski.
In the prophets of Samaria have I seen folly; They prophesy in the name of Baal, and cause my people Israel to err.
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!”
In the prophets of Jerusalem also have I seen a horrible thing; They commit adultery, and walk in falsehood; They strengthen the hands of evil-doers, So that none doth turn from his iniquity. They have all become to me as Sodom, And her inhabitants as Gomorrah.
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 Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, And give them the water of hemlock to drink; For from the prophets of Jerusalem Hath profaneness gone forth into all the land.
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 saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets; They lead you to vanity; They utter the vision of their own heart, And not from the mouth of Jehovah.
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!'”
To them that despise me they say continually, “Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace”; And to every one that walketh after the perverseness of his heart, “No evil shall come upon 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 of them hath stood in the council of Jehovah, And hath seen and heard his word? Who hath listened to his word and heard it?
19 Gle, nevrijeme Jahvino: jarost provaljuje, razmahuje se vihor silan i svaljuje na glave bezbožničke.
Behold a whirlwind from Jehovah goeth forth in fury, Even a rushing whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.
20 Jahvin se gnjev neće stišati, dok on ne izvrši i ne ispuni naume srca svojega. U dane posljednje jasno ćete to razumjeti.
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not turn back, Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished the purpose of his heart. In the latter days ye shall understand it fully.
21 “Ne poslah ti proroka, a ipak trče! Ne govorih im, a ipak prorokuju!
I sent not these prophets, yet they ran; I spake not to them, yet they prophesied.
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!
For if they had stood in my council, Then would they have caused my people to hear my words, And would have turned them from their evil way. And from the wickedness of their doings.
23 TÓa, zar sam ja Bog samo iz blizine - riječ je Jahvina - zar iz daljine nisam više Bog?
Am I a God near at hand, saith Jehovah, And not a God afar 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 one hide himself in secret places, So that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah; Do I nor fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah.
25 Čuo sam što govore proroci koji prorokuju laži u ime moje i tvrde: 'Usnio sam! Usnio sam!'
I have heard what the prophets say, Who prophesy falsehood in my name, Saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed.”
26 Dokle će među prorocima biti onih koji prorokuju laž i objavljuju prijevaru srca svojega?
How long shall this be In the heart of the prophets, who prophesy falsehood, The prophets of the deceit of their own 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!
Who think to cause my people to forget my name By the dreams which they relate one to another, As their fathers forgot my name through 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 who hath a dream, let him tell a dream; And he that hath my word, let him speak my word truly! What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah.
29 Nije li riječ moja poput vatre - riječ je Jahvina - i nije li slična malju što razbija pećinu?
Is not my word like fire, saith Jehovah, And like a hammer, that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Evo me stoga protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji jedan drugome kradu moje riječi.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, That steal my words one from another.
31 Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji mlate jezikom i proroštva kuju.
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, That take their tongues and utter oracles.
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.
Behold, I am against the prophets of false dreams, saith Jehovah, Who tell them, and cause my people to err By their lies and their arrogance. I have not sent them, nor commanded them, And they shall not profit this people at all, saith Jehovah.
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 a prophet, or a priest Shall ask thee, saying, “What is the burden from Jehovah?” Then say thou to them, “What is the burden?” That I will cast you away, saith Jehovah.
34 A reče li koji prorok ili svećenik, ili tko iz naroda: 'Breme Jahvino', kaznit ću toga čovjeka i dom njegov.
And the prophet, the priest, and the people, Who shall say, “The burden of Jehovah,” I will punish that man 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 ye speak, one to another: “What hath Jehovah answered?” And, “What hath Jehovah 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 of a burden of Jehovah shall ye speak no more; Else shall every man's word be his burden, Because ye pervert the words of the living God, Of Jehovah of hosts, 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 Jehovah answered thee?” And, “What hath Jehovah 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,
If ye shall say, “The burden of Jehovah,” Then thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say, “The burden of Jehovah,” Although I sent to you and said, Ye shall not say, “The burden of Jehovah,”
39 ja ću visoko podići i odbaciti od lica svojega vas i vaš grad što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim!
Therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, And I will cast you, and the city which I gave to your fathers, out of my presence;
40 I svalit ću na vas vječnu sramotu i vječnu porugu koja se neće zaboraviti.”
And I will bring upon you an everlasting reproach, And a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.
