Jeremija 30

1 Riječ koju Jahve upravi Jeremiji:

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

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

Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken to you 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, see, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, said the LORD: 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 the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

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

For thus says the LORD; 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 you now, and see whether a man does travail 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,

For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

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

But they shall serve the LORD 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 you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, see, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, 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 you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

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

For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.

13 Nema lijeka rani tvojoj i nikako da zaraste.

There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you 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 your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your 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 cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

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 they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey on you will I 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 you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This 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 the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

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 them that 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 children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that 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 nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the middle of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? says the LORD.

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

And you 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 whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain on 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 the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it.
