Jeremija 30

1 Riječ koju Jahve upravi Jeremiji:

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: —

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

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Write thee all the words which 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 behold the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will bring back the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to the land which 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 which Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

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

Behold, thus saith Jehovah: The voice of trembling do we hear; There is alarm, and no 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 male doth bring forth? Why then do I see every man's hands upon his loins, like a woman in travail? And why are all faces 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! that day is great, So that there is none like it; It is a time of trouble for Jacob, Yet shall he be saved from 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 in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from his neck, And his bands will I burst asunder, And he shall be subject to strangers no more.

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 for 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 my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah, And be not thou dismayed, O Israel! For, behold, I will bring thee safe from afar, And thy posterity from the land of their captivity; And Jacob shall return, and be at rest; Yea, he shall 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 will be with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee; When I shall make a full end of all the nations Whither I have dispersed thee, Yet will I not make a full end of thee; I will correct thee in measure, Yet must I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

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

For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable; Thy wound is mortal.

13 Nema lijeka rani tvojoj i nikako da zaraste.

No one offereth his help for thy cure; No healing medicines are applied to thee.

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 thy lovers have forgotten thee; They inquire not after thee. For with the wound of an enemy have I smitten thee, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of thine iniquities, 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 criest thou because of thy bruise? Thy pain is without remedy. For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased, Have I 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.

Yet all they that devour thee shall be devoured, And all thine enemies, yea, all of them, shall go into captivity, And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, And all that plunder thee will I give up to plunder.

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 soundness to thee, And I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; For they have called thee the outcast, Zion, whom no man careth for.

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 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring back the captives of the tents of Jacob, And I will have pity upon his dwelling-places, And the city shall be builded upon her heap, And the palace shall be inhabited as of old.

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 go forth thanksgiving, And the voice of them that make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few, And I will exalt them, and they shall not be low.

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

And their children 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 princes shall be of themselves, And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause them to approach, and they shall come near to me; For who is he that would dare to come near to me? saith 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, a whirlwind from Jehovah, Furious doth it go forth, Even a sweeping whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.

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 turn back Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished, the purpose of his heart; In a future day ye shall understand it fully.
