Jeremija 30

1 Riječ koju Jahve upravi Jeremiji:

The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2 Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Upiši u knjigu sve ove riječi koje ti govorim.

Thus speaks Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book.

3 Jer evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - i promijenit ću udes naroda svoga Izraela i Judeje” - govori Jahve - “i vratit ću ih u zemlju koju u baštinu dadoh ocima njihovim.”

For, lo, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 Evo riječi što ih Jahve reče o Izraelu i o Judeji:

And these are the words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 Ovako govori Jahve: “Čujem krik užasa: strava je to, a ne mir.

For thus says Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 Hajde, propitajte se i pogledajte: je li ikad muškarac rodio? A svi se muškarci za bedra hvataju kao porodilje! Zašto su sva lica izobličena i problijedjela?

Ask ye now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 Jao, jer velik je dan ovaj, slična mu nÓe bÄi! Vrijeme je nevolje za Jakova, al' će se izbaviti iz nje.

Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

8 Onoga dana - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - slomit ću jaram na njihovu vratu i lance ću njihove raskinuti. Više neće služiti tuđinu,

And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds. And strangers shall no more make him their bondman,

9 već će služiti Jahvi, Bogu svojemu, i Davidu, kralju svome, koga ću im podići.

but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

10 Ne boj se, Jakove, slugo moja - riječ je Jahvina - ne plaši se, Izraele! Jer evo, spasit ću te izdaleka i potomstvo tvoje iz zemlje izgnanstva. Jakov će se opet smiriti, spokojno će živjeti i nitko ga neće plašiti - riječ je Jahvina -

Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

11 jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim. Zatrt ću narode među koje te prognah, a tebe neću sasvim uništiti; al' ću te kazniti po pravici, ne smijem te pustit' nekažnjena.”

For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to save thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.

12 Uistinu, ovako govori Jahve: “Neiscjeljiva je rana tvoja, neprebolan polom tvoj.

For thus says Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.

13 Nema lijeka rani tvojoj i nikako da zaraste.

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou may be bound up; thou have no healing medicines.

14 Zaboraviše te svi ljubavnici, više za te i ne pitaju! Jer po tebi ja udarih k'o što udara neprijatelj, kaznom krutom za bezakonje i za mnoge grijehe tvoje.

All who love thee have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.

15 Zašto kukaš zbog rane svoje? Zar je neizlječiva tvoja bol? Zbog mnoštva bezakonja i grijeha silnih tvojih to ti učinih.

Why do thou cry for thy hurt? Thy pain is incurable, for the greatness of thine iniquity. Because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to thee.

16 Al' i oni što te žderu bit će prožderani, u ropstvo će svi dušmani tvoji; pljačkaši tvoji bit će opljačkani, i koji te plijeniše bit će oplijenjeni.

Therefore all those who devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. And those who despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all who prey upon thee I will give for a prey.

17 [17b] Zvahu te 'Protjeranom' i 'Sionkom za koju nitko ne pita'. [17a] Al' ja ću te iscijeliti, rane ti zaliječiti” - riječ je Jahvina.

For I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, says Jehovah, because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

18 Ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, izmijenit ću udes šatora Jakovljevih, smilovat ću se na stanove njegove: na razvalinama njegovim bit će opet grad sazidan, i dvori će stajati na starome mjestu.

Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places. And the city shall be built upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner.

19 Iz njih će se čuti hvalospjev, i glasovi radosni. Umnožit ću ih i više im se neće smanjiti broj, ugled ću im dati i više ih neće prezirati.

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 Sinovi njihovi bit će mi kao nekoć, zajednica njina preda mnom će čvrsto stajati, a kaznit ću sve njihove ugnjetače.

Their sons also shall be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me. And I will punish all who oppress them.

21 Glavar njihov iz njih će niknuti, vladar njihov isred njih će izaći. Pustit ću ga k sebi da mi se približi - jer tko da se usudi sam preda me!” - riječ je Jahvina.

And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me. For who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Jehovah.

22 “I vi ćete biti moj narod, a ja vaš Bog.

And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 Gle, nevrijeme Jahvino, jarost provaljuje, razmahuje se vihor silan, i svaljuje na glave bezbožničke.

Behold, the tempest of Jehovah-wrath-has gone forth, a sweeping tempest. It shall burst upon the head of the wicked.

24 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 return until he has executed, and till he has performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days ye shall understand it.
