Jeremija 7
1 Ovo je riječ što dođe Jeremiji od Gospodina:
Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judea.
2 “Stani pred vrata Doma Jahvina, objavi ondje ovu riječ. Reci: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, svi Judejci koji ulazite na ova vrata da se poklonite Jahvi.
3 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa ću boraviti s vama na ovome mjestu.
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Ne uzdajte se u lažne riječi: 'Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino!'
Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
5 Ali ako zaista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja i ako zaista budete činili što je pravo, svatko prema bližnjemu svome,
For if ye thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 ako ne budete tlačili stranca, sirote i udovice i ne budete prolijevali krvi nedužne na ovome mjestu, ako ne budete trčali za tuđim bogovima na svoju nesreću -
and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
7 boravit ću s vama na ovome mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao vašim ocima zauvijek.
then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
8 Ali se vi uzdate u lažne i beskorisne riječi!
But whereas ye have trusted in lying words, whereby ye shall not be profited;
9 Zar da kradete, ubijate, činite preljub, krivo se zaklinjete, palite tamjan Baalu i trčite za tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznajete,
and ye murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom ye know not,
10 a onda da dolazite i stojite preda mnom u Domu ovome koji nosi moje ime i govorite: 'Spašeni smo!' i da nakon toga opet činite nedjela i opačine?
so that it is evil with you; yet have ye come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and ye have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
11 Zar je Dom ovaj, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim očima pećina razbojnička? Ali ja dobro vidim” - riječ je Jahvina.
Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], saith the Lord.
12 “Pođite, dakle, na moje mjesto koje je u Šilu, gdje nekoć nastanih ime svoje, i pogledajte što od njega učinih zbog opačina naroda svoga izraelskoga.
For go ye to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Kako činite sva ona ista nedjela - riječ je Jahvina - i premda vas neumorno opominjem, vi ne slušate, a kad vas zovem, vi se ne odazivate:
And now, because ye have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but ye hearkened not to me; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 od ovoga Doma što se zove mojim imenom, u koje se vi uzdate, i od ovoga mjesta što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim učinit ću isto što sam učinio i od Šila.
therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
15 Odbacit ću vas od lica svojega kao što odbacih svu braću vašu, sve potomstvo Efrajimovo.”
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
16 “A ti ne moli milosti za narod ovaj, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, ne navaljuj na me jer te neću uslišiti.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yea, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not hearken [unto thee].
17 Ne vidiš li što čine po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim?
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Djeca kupe drva, oci pale vatru, žene mijese tijesto da ispeku kolače 'kraljici neba' i lijevaju ljevanice tuđim bogovima da me pogrde.
Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
19 Zar mene tim pogrđuju - riječ je Jahvina - a ne sebe na svoju sramotu?”
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
20 I stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo, gnjev svoj i jarost svoju izlit ću na ovo mjesto, na ljude i na stoku, na poljsko drveće i na plodove zemlje, rasplamtjet će se i neće se ugasiti.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
21 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Paljenicama dometnite još i klanice, i jedite meso.
Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
22 Ja ništa ne rekoh ocima vašim o paljenicama i klanicama, niti im što o tom zapovjedih kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske.
For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:
23 Ovo im ja zapovjedih: 'Slušajte glas moj, pa ću ja biti vaš Bog, a vi ćete biti moj narod. Idite putem kojim vam zapovjedih, da vam dobro bude.'
but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
24 A oni ne poslušaše, uho svoje ne prignuše, već pođoše po savjetu i okorjelosti zloga srca svojega; okrenuše mi leđa, a ne lice.
But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
25 Od dana kad oci vaši iziđoše iz zemlje egipatske pa do dana današnjeg slao sam vam tolike sluge svoje, proroke, iz dana u dan, neumorno.
from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent [them],
26 Ali me oni nisu slušali, uho svoje nisu prignuli, nego otvrdnuše, gori od otaca svojih.
but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
27 Možeš im sve to reći, ali te neće poslušati; zovi ih, neće ti se odazvati.
Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;
28 Zato im reci: 'Ovo je narod koji ne sluša glasa Jahve, Boga svojega, i ne prima opomenÄe. Nestade istine, nestade je iz usta njihovih.'”
This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
29 Ostriži svoju dugu kosu, baci je. Po goletima protuži tužaljkom, jer Jahve odbaci i odvrgnu rod na koji se razgnjevio.
Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
30 “Da, sinovi Judini čine što je zlo u očima mojim” - riječ je Jahvina. “Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom, da ga oskvrnu;
For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
31 podigoše uzvišice tofetske u Dolini Ben Hinomu i spaljuju vatrom svoje sinove i kćeri - što im ja nikad ne zapovjedih niti mi to ikada na um pade.
And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
32 Stoga evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće reći Tofet ni Dolina Ben Hinom, nego Dolina klanja. U Tofetu će se pokapati mrtvi, jer drugdje neće biti mjesta.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.
33 A mrtva tijela ovoga naroda bit će hrana pticama nebeskim i zvjeradi zemaljskoj, i nitko se neće naći da ih poplaši i otjera.
And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
34 Uklonit ću iz gradova judejskih i s ulica jeruzalemskih radost i veselje: jer će se zemlja ta pretvoriti u pustinju.”
And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
