Jeremija 33
1 Dok je Jeremija bio još zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu, i drugi mu put dođe riječ Jahvina:
While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
2 “Ovako govori Jahve, koji stvori zemlju, oblikova je i učvrsti - ime mu je Jahve!
“This is what I, the one who made the earth, who formed/shaped it and put it in its place, say [to the people of Jerusalem]: ‘My name is Yahweh.
3 Zazovi me, i odazvat ću ti se i objavit ću ti velike i nedokučive tajne o kojima ništa ne znaš.
Call out to me, and [then] I will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known [before].’
4 Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, o kućama ovoga grada i o dvorima kraljeva judejskih, porušenim zbog nasipa i mača,
This is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israeli people [say you belong to], say: ‘[The men in this city] have torn down [some of] their houses, and [even parts of] the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that [the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up] the ramps that they have built against the walls, and [kill the inhabitants with] their swords.
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.
You are expecting to fight against the army from Babylonia, but [what will happen is that] the houses of this city will be filled with the corpses of the men of this city whom I will [allow to be killed] because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I have abandoned them because of all the wicked things that they have done.
6 Evo, ja ću zaliječiti njihovu ranu, ja ću ih iscijeliti i ozdraviti i pružiti im obilje istinskoga mira.
However, [there will be a time when] I will cause the people in this city to be healthy and strong again. I will enable them to be prosperous and have peace.
7 Promijenit ću udes zemlje Judine i Jeruzalema i podići ću ih da budu kao nekoć.
I will bring the people of Judah and Israel back from the lands to which they were exiled. I will enable them to rebuild their towns.
8 Očistit ću ih od svakoga grijeha kojim sagriješiše protiv mene i oprostit ću im sve krivice koje mi skriviše odmetnuv se od mene.
I will get rid of their guilt for all the sins that they have committed against me, and I will forgive them for their sin of rebelling against 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.”
[When that happens], all the nations of the world will rejoice, and they will praise me and honor me. They will hear about all the good things that I have done for this city and, because of that, they will revere me, and they will tremble because I have caused [the people in this city] to have peace and to prosper.’
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
And this is also what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘You people have said that this is a land where there are no [longer] any people or animals. But in the streets of Jerusalem that are now completely empty [DOU], and in the [other] towns in Judah,
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.
[some day] people will again be happy and laugh. Brides and bridegrooms will [again] sing [joyfully]. And many other people will also sing joyfully as they bring their offerings to me to thank me [for what I have done for them]. [They will sing this song]: “[We] thank you, the Commander of the armies of angels, because you are good [to us]. You faithfully love [us] forever.” [They will sing that] because I will cause [the people of] land to be as prosperous as they were before.’
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.
This land is [now] desolate. There are no people or animals living here. But [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘In this land there will again be pastures/fields where shepherds will lead their sheep.
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.
Shepherds will again count their sheep as the sheep walk by, outside the towns in the hilly area, in the western foothills, in the southern desert area, in the land [where the descendants] of Benjamin live, around Jerusalem, and outside [all] the [other] towns in Judah.’ [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
14 “Evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću ispuniti dobro obećanje što ga dadoh domu Izraelovu i domu Judinu:
Listen to this! [I], Yahweh, say that there will be a time when I will do for the people of Israel and Judah [all the good things that] I promised to do [for them].
15 U one dane i u vrijeme ono podići ću Davidu izdanak pravedni; on će zemljom vladati po pravu i pravici.
At that time [DOU] I will appoint a righteous man who will be a descendant [MET] of King David. Throughout the land, he will do what is just and right.
16 U one dane Judeja će biti spašena, Jeruzalem će živjeti spokojno. A grad će se zvati: 'Jahve, Pravda naša.'
At that time, [the people of] Judah will be rescued [from their enemies], and [the people of] Jerusalem will be safe. And people will say that the name of the city is ‘Yahweh [is the one who] vindicates/defends us’.
17 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Nikada Davidu neće nestati potomka koji će sjediti na prijestolju doma Izraelova.
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
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 will always be priests who are descendants of Levi who [stand] in front of me and offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar] and who will burn grain offerings and [other] sacrifices.’”
19 I dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
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,
“This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
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.
Similarly, you cannot annul the promise/agreement [that I made] with King David, who served me [well], that there will always be descendants of his who will rule [Judah]. The same is true for my agreement with the descendants of Levi who are priests who do work for me.
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.”
No one can count the stars in the sky, and no one can count the grains of sand at the seashore. Similarly, I will cause there to be a huge number of priests who are descendants of David and descendants of Levi who will work for me.’”
23 I dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
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 noticed/heard that some people are saying, ‘Yahweh chose two groups, the people [of Judah] and the people [of Israel], and [later] abandoned them.’ They are despising my people and saying that Israel no longer deserves to be considered a nation.
25 Ovako govori Jahve: “Da ne sklopih saveza svojega s danom i noći i da ne postavih zakone nebu i zemlji,
But this is what I say: ‘I will not change my laws that control the day and the night, the sky and the 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.”
Similarly, I will never abandon the descendants of David or the [other] descendants of Jacob, and I will always allow descendants of David to rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring my people back to their land, and I will act mercifully toward them.’”
