Jeremija 7
1 Ovo je riječ što dođe Jeremiji od Gospodina:
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, 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 the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.
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 of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and your doings good: and I will dwell with you in this place.
4 Ne uzdajte se u lažne riječi: 'Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino!'
Trust not in lying words, saying: The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is 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 you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement between a man and his neighbor,
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 you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own hurt,
7 boravit ću s vama na ovome mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao vašim ocima zauvijek.
I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.
8 Ali se vi uzdate u lažne i beskorisne riječi!
Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:
9 Zar da kradete, ubijate, činite preljub, krivo se zaklinjete, palite tamjan Baalu i trčite za tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznajete,
To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you 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?
And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done 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 then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: 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.
Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: 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 you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered:
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 do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo.
15 Odbacit ću vas od lica svojega kao što odbacih svu braću vašu, sve potomstvo Efrajimovo.”
And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, the whole 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, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand 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 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.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to 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? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?
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 God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, 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 the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye 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 to your fathers, and I commanded them not, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offerings and sacrifices.
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 this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I have commanded 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 their own will, and in the perversity of their wicked 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 came out of the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets from day to day, rising up early and sending.
26 Ali me oni nisu slušali, uho svoje nisu prignuli, nego otvrdnuše, gori od otaca svojih.
And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and 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 to them all these words, but they will not hearken to thee: and thou shalt call 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 to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: Faith is lost, and is carried away out of 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 high: for the Lord 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;
Because the children of Juda have done evil in my eyes, saith the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house in which my name is called upon, to pollute 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 Topeth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons, and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded not, nor thought on 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 shall come, saith the Lord, and it shall no more be called Topeth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom: but the valley of slaughter, and they shall bury in Topeth, because there is 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 carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be non 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 cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and out of the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
