Jeremija 7
1 Ovo je riječ što dođe Jeremiji od Gospodina:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
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.
Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.
3 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa ću boraviti s vama na ovome mjestu.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Ne uzdajte se u lažne riječi: 'Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino!'
Confide ye not in words of falsehood, saying, Jehovah's temple, Jehovah's temple, Jehovah's temple is this.
5 Ali ako zaista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja i ako zaista budete činili što je pravo, svatko prema bližnjemu svome,
But if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye really do justice 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 -
[if] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other 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 that I gave to your fathers from of old even for ever.
8 Ali se vi uzdate u lažne i beskorisne riječi!
Behold, ye confide in words of falsehood that cannot profit.
9 Zar da kradete, ubijate, činite preljub, krivo se zaklinjete, palite tamjan Baalu i trčite za tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznajete,
What? steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other 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?
then ye come and stand before me, in this house which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, — in order to do 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 this house, which is called by my name, a den of robbers in your eyes? Even I, behold, I have seen it, saith Jehovah.
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 now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it, for 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 works, saith Jehovah, and I spoke unto you, rising up early and speaking, and ye heard not, and I called you, and 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.
I will even do unto the house which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh;
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 have cast out all 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.
And thou, pray not for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, and make not intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
17 Ne vidiš li što čine po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim?
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah, 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.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Zar mene tim pogrđuju - riječ je Jahvina - a ne sebe na svoju sramotu?”
Is it I whom they provoke to anger? saith Jehovah; is it not themselves, to the shame of their own face?
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 Jehovah: Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place; upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Paljenicama dometnite još i klanice, i jedite meso.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the 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 unto your fathers, nor commanded them concerning burnt-offerings and sacrifices, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt;
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, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I 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, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness 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.
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, unto this day, have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them;
26 Ali me oni nisu slušali, uho svoje nisu prignuli, nego otvrdnuše, gori od otaca svojih.
but they have not hearkened unto me, nor inclined their ear; and they have hardened their neck: they have done worse than their fathers.
27 Možeš im sve to reći, ali te neće poslušati; zovi ih, neće ti se odazvati.
And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken unto thee; and thou shalt call unto them, but they will not answer thee.
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.'”
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation which hath not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received correction; fidelity is perished, and is cut off 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 thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the heights; for Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
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 Judah have done evil in my sight, saith Jehovah; they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, 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 high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither did it come up into my mind.
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, days are coming, saith Jehovah, when it shall no more be said, Topheth, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place.
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 carcases of this people shall be food for the fowl of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall scare [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 cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.
