< Jeremija 32 >

1 Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji desete godine Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, to jest osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove.
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 U to vrijeme vojska kralja babilonskoga opsjedaše Jeruzalem, a prorok Jeremija bijaše zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu u dvoru judejskoga kralja.
And at that time the army of the king of Babylon was laying siege to Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
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 Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, “Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am about to 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 Zedekiah, the king of Judah, shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldaeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold 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 Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah; though ye fight with the Chaldaeans, ye shall not prosper?”
6 Tada reče Jeremija: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
Then said Jeremiah, The word of Jehovah came to me, and said:
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 Shallum, thine uncle, will come to thee, and say, Buy thee my field which is in Anathoth, for thine is the redemption-right to buy it.
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 so Hanameel, the son of my uncle, came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of Jehovah, and said to me: Buy, I pray thee, my field, which is in Anathoth, for thine is the right of inheritance and redemption; buy it for thyself! Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
9 Kupih, dakle, tu njivu od stričevića Hanamela iz Anatota te mu izmjerih u novcu sedamnaest šekela srebra.
I bought, therefore, the field of Hanameel, my uncle's son, in Anathoth, and I paid him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Napišem ugovor, udarim pečat, pozovem svjedoke i izmjerim novac na tezulji.
And I wrote a deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses thereto, and weighed the silver in the balances.
11 Zatim uzmem kupovni ugovor, zapečaćen prema propisu i uredbama,
And I took the purchase-deed, that which was sealed according to the law and the statutes, and that which was open,
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 purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the presence of Hanameel, my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses, who subscribed their names to the purchase-deed, and in the presence of all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.
13 Tada pred njima zapovjedim Baruhu:
And I charged Baruch in their presence, 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 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this sealed purchase-deed, and this open deed, and put them into an earthen vessel, that they may endure a great length of time.
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 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again shall houses and fields and vineyards be bought in this land.
16 Pošto kupovni ugovor predadoh Nerijinu sinu Baruhu, pomolih se Jahvi:
And when I had delivered the purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, saying,
17 “O, Jahve, Gospode! Ti stvori nebo i zemlju snagom velikom, rukom uzdignutom! Ništa tebi nije nemoguće!
Ah, Lord, Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and thy stretched-out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.
18 Tisućama iskazuješ milost, a krivnju otaca osvećuješ na djeci, potomcima njihovim. Bože veliki i moćni, kome je ime Jahve nad Vojskama!
Thou showest kindness to a thousand generations, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of the children who come after them. The great, the mighty God, Jehovah of hosts is his 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 mighty in work; for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
20 Ti koji si činio znamenja i čudesa u zemlji egipatskoj i u Izraelu, i među svim ljudima sve do danas,
who hast displayed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among other 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 with 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 hast 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 have come in and possessed it; but they have not obeyed thy voice, nor walked according to thy law. They have done nothing of all which thou commandedst them to do. Therefore hast thou caused all this evil to 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, the mounds of the enemy have already come up against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans, who fight against it by means of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass, and, behold, thou seest it.
25 A ti mi, Jahve Gospode moj, reče: 'Kupi novcem njivu i pozovi svjedoke', a grad je već predan u ruke Kaldejcima!”
And yet hast thou said to me, O Lord Jehovah, “Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses thereto!” when the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.
26 Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying:
27 “Gle, ja sam Jahve, Bog svakoga tijela! Meni ništa nije nemoguće!
Behold, I, Jehovah, am the God of all flesh. Is there anything too 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 Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldaeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he 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 Chaldaeans who fight against this city shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out incense to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
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 Judah have done nothing but evil before me from their youth; yea, the children of Israel have but provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.
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 the object of my anger and my fury, from the day when they built it even to this day; that I might remove it from before my face,
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 wickedness of the children of Israel, and of the children of Judah, which they have committed to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, 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.
For they have turned to me the back, and not the face; though I have taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet have they not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom da ga oskvrnu.
And they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, 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 Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Moloch, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should practise their abomination, to cause Judah 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:
Yet now thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel concerning this city, of which ye say, “It is delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the 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 out of all the countries whither I have driven them in my anger and my fury and my great wrath, and I will bring them back to this place, and I 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, to fear me continually, 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, that I will not turn away from them, nor cease to do them good; for I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 I radovat ću se čineći im dobro; i čvrsto ću ih zasaditi u ovoj zemlji, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom.”
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with my whole 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 Jehovah: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so will I bring upon them all the good which I have promised 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 yet be bought in this land, of which ye say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.”
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 men buy for money, and subscribe deeds, and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south; for I will bring them back from their captivity, saith Jehovah.
