< Jeremija 33 >
1 Dok je Jeremija bio još zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu, i drugi mu put dođe riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
2 “Ovako govori Jahve, koji stvori zemlju, oblikova je i učvrsti - ime mu je Jahve!
“Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; the Lord is his name.
3 Zazovi me, i odazvat ću ti se i objavit ću ti velike i nedokučive tajne o kojima ništa ne znaš.
Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
4 Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, o kućama ovoga grada i o dvorima kraljeva judejskih, porušenim zbog nasipa i mača,
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
5 i o onima što zameću borbu s Kaldejcima da napune svoje kuće tjelesima ljudi koje pobih u srdžbi i jarosti svojoj, i odvratih lice svoje od ovoga grada zbog njihove opakosti.
of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
6 Evo, ja ću zaliječiti njihovu ranu, ja ću ih iscijeliti i ozdraviti i pružiti im obilje istinskoga mira.
Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
7 Promijenit ću udes zemlje Judine i Jeruzalema i podići ću ih da budu kao nekoć.
And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
8 Očistit ću ih od svakoga grijeha kojim sagriješiše protiv mene i oprostit ću im sve krivice koje mi skriviše odmetnuv se od mene.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
9 I Jeruzalem će mi biti na radost, na hvalu i čast pred svim narodima svijeta: kad čuju za sve dobro kojim ću ih nadijeliti, divit će se i čuditi svoj onoj sreći i miru što ću im ja dati.”
And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
10 Ovako govori Jahve: “Na ovome mjestu o kojemu vi velite: 'To je pustinja bez čovjeka i bez živinčeta' - u gradovima judejskim i po opustošenim ulicama jeruzalemskim opet će se oriti
Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
11 poklici radosti, poklici zaručnika i zaručnice, poklici onih koji će u Domu Jahvinu prinositi žrtve zahvalnice pjevajući: 'Hvalite Jahvu nad Vojskama, jer je dobar Jahve - vječna je ljubav njegova!' Jer ja ću obnoviti zemlju da bude kao nekoć” - riječ je Jahvina.
the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, says the Lord.”
12 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Na ovome mjestu koje je sada pusto, bez čovjeka i bez živinčeta, i u svim gradovima opet će biti pašnjaci za pastire što odmaraju stada svoja.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
13 U gradovima Gorja, i u gradovima Šefele, i u gradovima Negeba, u kraju Benjaminovu, u okolici Jeruzalema i u gradovima Judinim opet će prolaziti ovce ispod ruke pastira koji će ih brojiti” - riječ je Jahvina.
For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers them, says the Lord.
14 “Evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću ispuniti dobro obećanje što ga dadoh domu Izraelovu i domu Judinu:
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 U one dane i u vrijeme ono podići ću Davidu izdanak pravedni; on će zemljom vladati po pravu i pravici.
In those days and at that time, I will cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
16 U one dane Judeja će biti spašena, Jeruzalem će živjeti spokojno. A grad će se zvati: 'Jahve, Pravda naša.'
In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
17 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Nikada Davidu neće nestati potomka koji će sjediti na prijestolju doma Izraelova.
For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 I nikada neće levitima i svećenicima nestati potomaka koji će služiti preda mnom i prinositi paljenice, kaditi prinosnice i prikazivati klanice u sve dane.”
And there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
19 I dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
20 Ovako govori Jahve: “Ako možete razvrći savez moj s danom i savez moj s noći, tako da ni dana ni noći više ne bude u pravo vrijeme,
“Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
21 moći će se raskinuti i Savez moj sa slugom mojim Davidom te više neće imati sina koji bi kraljevao na prijestolju njegovu i s levitima i svećenicima koji mi služe.
then, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
22 Kao što se vojska nebeska ne može izbrojiti ni izmjeriti pijesak morski, tako ću umnožiti potomstvo sluge svojega Davida i levite i svećenike koji mi služe.”
Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
23 I dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
24 “Nisi li opazio što ovi ljudi govore: 'Jahve je odbacio obadva plemena koja je bio sebi izabrao?' I s prezirom poriču narod moj kao da mi više nije narod.”
“Have you not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
25 Ovako govori Jahve: “Da ne sklopih saveza svojega s danom i noći i da ne postavih zakone nebu i zemlji,
Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
26 mogao bih odbaciti potomstvo Jakova i Davida, sluge svojega, da više ne uzimam potomka njihova za vladara nad potomstvom Abrahamovim, Izakovim i Jakovljevim, kad promijenim udes njihov i kad im se smilujem.”
then truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
