Jeremija 32

1 Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji desete godine Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, to jest osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove.

The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord in the tenth year of Sedecias king of Juda: the same is eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor.

2 U to vrijeme vojska kralja babilonskoga opsjedaše Jeruzalem, a prorok Jeremija bijaše zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu u dvoru judejskoga kralja.

At that time the army of the king o Babylon besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremias the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Juda.

3 Sidkija, kralj judejski, bijaše ga ondje zatvorio, prigovoriv mu: “Zašto si prorokovao: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Gle, grad ću ovaj predati u ruke kralju babilonskom da ga osvoji;

For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it?

4 a Sidkija, kralj judejski, neće umaći sili kaldejskoj, nego će biti predan u ruke kralja babilonskoga - usta u usta s njim će govoriti, oči u oči njega vidjeti.

And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes.

5 Sidkiju će odvesti u Babilon i ondje će ostati dok ga ne pohodim - riječ je Jahvina! I ako se budete borili protiv Kaldejaca, nećete uspjeti!'”

And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success.

6 Tada reče Jeremija: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

And Jeremias said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:

7 'Uskoro će doći k tebi Hanamel, sin tvoga strica Šaluma, da ti kaže: Kupi njivu moju u Anatotu; ti imaš rodbinsko pravo da je kupiš!'

Behold, Hanameel the son of Sellum thy cousin shall come to thee, saying: Buy thee my field, which is in Anathoth, for it is thy right to buy it, being akin.

8 Kako je Jahve navijestio, k meni dođe moj stričević Hanamel u tamničko dvorište i reče mi: 'De kupi moju njivu u Anatotu, jer ti imaš pravo na posjed i rodbinsko pravo da je kupiš! Kupi je!' I tada spoznah da to bijaše riječ Jahvina.

And Hanameel my uncle’s son cam to me, according to the word of the to the entry of the prison, and said me: Buy my held, which is in in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thins, and thou art next of kin to possess it. And I understood this was the word of the Lord.

9 Kupih, dakle, tu njivu od stričevića Hanamela iz Anatota te mu izmjerih u novcu sedamnaest šekela srebra.

And I bought the held of my uncle’s son, that is in Anathoth: and I weighed him the money, seven staters, and ten pieces of silver.

10 Napišem ugovor, udarim pečat, pozovem svjedoke i izmjerim novac na tezulji.

And I wrote it in a book and sealed it, and took witnesses: and I weighed him the money in the balances.

11 Zatim uzmem kupovni ugovor, zapečaćen prema propisu i uredbama,

And I took the deed of the purchase that was sealed, and the stipulations, and the ratifications with the seals that were on the outside.

12 predam kupovni ugovor Baruhu, sinu Mahsejeva sina Nerije. Nazočni su bili: moj stričević Hanamel, svjedoci što su potpisali kupovni ugovor i svi Judejci koji su se našli u tamničkom dvorištu.

And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neri the son of Maasias in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, and before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

13 Tada pred njima zapovjedim Baruhu:

And I charged Baruch before them, saying:

14 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Uzmi ove isprave, ovaj kupovni ugovor, zapečaćeni i otvoreni, i stavi ih u glinenu posudu da se zadugo sačuvaju.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these writings, this deed of the purchase that is sealed up, and this deed that is open: and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

15 Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Još će se u ovoj zemlji kupovati i kuće, i njive, i vinogradi!'”

For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Houses, and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

16 Pošto kupovni ugovor predadoh Nerijinu sinu Baruhu, pomolih se Jahvi:

And after I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:

17 “O, Jahve, Gospode! Ti stvori nebo i zemlju snagom velikom, rukom uzdignutom! Ništa tebi nije nemoguće!

Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, behold thou hast made heaven and earth by thy great power, and thy stretched out arm: no word shall be hard to thee:

18 Tisućama iskazuješ milost, a krivnju otaca osvećuješ na djeci, potomcima njihovim. Bože veliki i moćni, kome je ime Jahve nad Vojskama!

Thou shewest mercy unto thousands, and returnest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O most mighty, great, and powerful, the Lord of hosts is thy name.

19 Velik si u svojim naumima, silan u svojim djelima! Oči tvoje bde nad svim putovima ljudskim da naplatiš svakome prema putu njegovu i prema plodu djela njegovih!

Great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of Adam, to render unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his devices.

20 Ti koji si činio znamenja i čudesa u zemlji egipatskoj i u Izraelu, i među svim ljudima sve do danas,

Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even until this day, and in Israel, and amongst men, and hast made thee a name as at this day.

21 ti si izveo svoj narod izraelski iz zemlje egipatske znamenjima i čudesima, rukom moćnom i mišicom podignutom, strahotama velikim.

And hast brought forth thy people Israel, out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, and with great terror.

22 Zatim im dade svu ovu zemlju koju si zakletvom obećao ocima njihovim, zemlju u kojoj teče med i mlijeko.

And best given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.

23 I oni je zaposjedoše; ali nisu slušali glasa tvojega niti su hodili putem Zakona tvojega. Ništa ne učiniše od onog što im ti naredi; zato si dozvao na njih sve ove nevolje.

And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them.

24 Gle, nasipi se već primakoše gradu, i bit će osvojen, i grad će pasti u ruke Kaldejcima koji na nj navaljuju mačem, glađu i kugom. Čime si prijetio, evo dolazi. I sam vidiš.

Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest.

25 A ti mi, Jahve Gospode moj, reče: 'Kupi novcem njivu i pozovi svjedoke', a grad je već predan u ruke Kaldejcima!”

And sayest thou to me, O Lord God: Buy a field for money, and take witnesses, whereas the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans?

26 Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:

27 “Gle, ja sam Jahve, Bog svakoga tijela! Meni ništa nije nemoguće!

Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh: shall any thing be hard for me?

28 Zato - veli Jahve - grad ovaj predajem u ruke Kaldejaca i u ruke kralja babilonskoga, koji će ga zauzeti.

Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it.

29 Ući će u nj Kaldejci koji se bore protiv ovoga grada, ognjem će ga uništiti i spaliti ga zajedno s kućama kojima su na krovovima Baalu palili tamjan i lijevali ljevanice tuđim bogovima, mene gnjeveći.

And the Chaldeans that fight against this city, shall come and set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they offered sacrifice to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath.

30 Jer sinovi Izraelovi i sinovi Judini od mladosti čine samo zlo pred mojim očima. Doista, sinovi Izraelovi bez prestanka me gnjeve djelima ruku svojih - riječ je Jahvina.

For the children of Israel, and the children of Juda, have continually done evil in my eyes from their youth: the children of Israel who even till now provoke me with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.

31 Grad ovaj, doista, samo mi je na gnjev i srdžbu otkako je sagrađen pa do dana današnjega te ga moram ukloniti ispred lica svojega

For this city hath been to me a provocation and indignation from the day that they built it, until this day, in which it shall be taken out of my sight.

32 zbog svega bezakonja što ga sinovi Izraelovi i sinovi Judini počiniše, gnjeveći me - oni i kraljevi njihovi, knezovi i svećenici i proroci, Judejci i Jeruzalemci.

Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Juda, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 Okretahu mi leđa, a ne lice svoje, iako se neumorno trudih da ih poučim, ali me ne slušaše niti nauk moj primiše.

And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: when I taught them early in the morning, and instructed them, and they would not hearken to receive instruction.

34 Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom da ga oskvrnu.

And they have set their idols in the house, in which my name is called upon, to defile it.

35 Baalu podigoše uzvišice u Dolini Ben Hinomu, i sinove i kćeri svoje Moleku kroz oganj provodiše - što im ja nikad ne zapovjedih; ni na um mi ne pade da bi činili takve gadosti niti da bih Judu pustio u takav grijeh.”

And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to consecrate their sons and their daughters to Moloch: which I commanded them not, neither entered it into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and cause Juda to sin.

36 Ipak, ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, o tom gradu za koji vi velite da će od mača, gladi i kuge pasti u ruke kralju babilonskom:

And now, therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to this city, whereof you say that it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:

37 “Evo, ja ću ih sabrati iz svih zemalja u koje ih prognah - u gnjevu i jarosti svojoj - i vratit ću ih na ovo mjesto da ovdje spokojno žive.

Behold I will gather them together out of all the lands to which I have cast them out in my anger, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation: and I will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell securely.

38 I oni će biti narod moj, a ja, ja ću biti Bog njihov.

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

39 I dat ću im srce jedno i put jedan, da bi me se bojali u sve dane, na sreću svoju i djece svoje.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all days: and that it may be well with them, and with their children after them.

40 I sklopit ću s njima Savez vječan, nikad se više neću odvratiti od njih i uvijek ću im činiti dobro; usadit ću im u srce svoj strah, da se nikad više ne odmetnu od mene.

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me.

41 I radovat ću se čineći im dobro; i čvrsto ću ih zasaditi u ovoj zemlji, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom.”

And I will rejoice over them, when I shall do them good: and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.

42 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Kao što sam na ovaj narod doveo svu ovu strašnu nesreću, tako ću na njih dovesti svu sreću koju im obrekoh.

For thus saith the Lord: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil: so will I bring upon them all the good that I now speak to them.

43 Da, opet će se kupovati njive u ovoj zemlji o kojoj vi velite: 'Ova je pustinja, bez čovjeka i živinčeta, predana na milost i nemilost Kaldejcima!'

And fields shall be purchased in this land: whereof you say that it is desolate, because there remaineth neither man nor beast, and it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.

44 Njive će se za novac kupovati, pisat će se i pečatiti kupovni ugovori, pozivat će se svjedoci u zemlji Benjaminovoj i u okolici Jeruzalema. U gradovima Judinim i u gradovima Gorja, Šefele, Negeba, jer ću promijeniti udes njihov” - riječ je Jahvina.

Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be written, and sealed, and witnesses shall be taken, in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, in the cities of Juda, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: for I will bring their captivity, saith the Lord.
