Jeremiah 3
1 “If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him to marry another, can he ever return to her? Would not such a land be completely defiled? But you have played the harlot with many lovers— and you would return to Me?”
Govore: ako ko pusti ženu svoju, i ona otišavši od njega uda se za drugoga, hoæe li se onaj vratiti k njoj? Ne bi li se sasvijem oskvrnila ona zemlja? A ti si se kurvala s mnogim milosnicima; ali opet vrati se k meni, veli Gospod.
2 “Lift up your eyes to the barren heights and see. Is there any place where you have not been violated? You sat beside the highways waiting for your lovers, like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness.
Podigni oèi svoje k visinama, i pogledaj gdje se nijesi kurvala; na putovima si sjedjela èekajuæi ih kao Arapin u pustinji, i oskvrnila si zemlju kurvarstvom svojim i zloæom svojom.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and no spring rains have fallen. Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute; you refuse to be ashamed.
Zato se ustaviše daždi, i ne bi poznoga dažda; ali u tebe bješe èelo žene kurve, i ne htje se stidjeti.
4 Have you not just called to Me, ‘My Father, You are my friend from youth.
Hoæeš li otsele vikati k meni: oèe moj, ti si voð mladosti moje?
5 Will He be angry forever? Will He be indignant to the end?’ This you have spoken, but you keep doing all the evil you can.”
Hoæe li se srditi jednako? hoæe li se gnjeviti dovijeka? Eto, govoriš, a èiniš zlo koliko god možeš.
6 Now in the days of King Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every green tree to prostitute herself there.
Još mi reèe Gospod za vremena cara Josije: jesi li vidio što uèini odmetnica, Izrailj? kako odlazi na svako visoko brdo i pod svako zeleno drvo, i kurva se ondje.
7 I thought that after she had done all these things, she would return to Me. But she did not return, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.
I pošto uèini sve to, rekoh: vrati se k meni; ali se ne vrati; i to vidje nevjernica, sestra njezina, Juda.
8 She saw that because faithless Israel had committed adultery, I gave her a certificate of divorce and sent her away. Yet that unfaithful sister Judah had no fear and prostituted herself as well.
I svidje mi se za sve to što uèini preljubu odmetnica Izrailj da je pustim i dam joj knjigu raspusnu; ali se ne poboja nevjernica sestra joj Juda, nego otide, te se i ona prokurva.
9 Indifferent to her own infidelity, Israel had defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.
I sramotnijem kurvanjem svojim oskvrni zemlju, jer èinjaše preljubu s kamenom i s drvetom.
10 Yet in spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to Me with all her heart, but only in pretense,” declares the LORD.
I kod svega toga ne vrati se k meni nevjernica sestra joj Juda svijem srcem svojim, nego lažno, govori Gospod.
11 And the LORD said to me, “Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than unfaithful Judah.
Zato mi reèe Gospod: odmetnica Izrailj opravda se više nego nevjernica Juda.
12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north: ‘Return, O faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will no longer look on you with anger, for I am merciful,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will not be angry forever.
Idi i vièi ove rijeèi k sjeveru, i reci: vrati se, odmetnice Izrailju, veli Gospod, i neæu pustiti da padne gnjev moj na vas, jer sam milostiv, veli Gospod, neæu se gnjeviti dovijeka.
13 Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every green tree and have not obeyed My voice,’”
Samo poznaj bezakonje svoje, da si se odmetnula Gospodu Bogu svojemu, ti si tumarala k tuðima pod svako drvo zeleno, i nijeste slušali glasa mojega, veli Gospod.
14 “Return, O faithless children,” declares the LORD, “for I am your master, and I will take you—one from a city and two from a family—and bring you to Zion.
Obratite se, sinovi odmetnici, veli Gospod, jer sam ja muž vaš, i uzeæu vas, jednoga iz grada i dva iz porodice, i odvešæu vas u Sion.
15 Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
I daæu vam pastire po srcu svojemu, koji æe vas pasti znanjem i razumom.
16 “In those days, when you multiply and increase in the land,” declares the LORD, “they will no longer discuss the ark of the covenant of the LORD. It will never come to mind, and no one will remember it or miss it, nor will another one be made.
I kad se umnožite i narodite u zemlji, onda se, veli Gospod, neæe više govoriti: kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega; niti æe im dolaziti na um niti æe ga pominjati, niti æe hoditi k njemu, niti æe ga više opravljati.
17 At that time Jerusalem will be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations will be gathered in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. They will no longer follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.
U to æe se vrijeme Jerusalim zvati prijesto Gospodnji, i svi æe se narodi sabrati u nj, k imenu Gospodnjemu u Jerusalimu, i neæe više iæi po misli srca svojega zloga.
18 In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave to your fathers as an inheritance.
U to æe vrijeme dom Judin iæi s domom Izrailjevijem, i doæi æe zajedno iz zemlje sjeverne u zemlju koju dadoh u našljedstvo ocima vašim.
19 Then I said, ‘How I long to make you My sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations!’ I thought you would call Me ‘Father’ and never turn away from following Me.
Ali ja rekoh: kako bih te postavio meðu sinove i dao ti zemlju željenu, krasno našljedstvo mnoštva naroda? I rekoh: ti æeš me zvati: oèe moj; i neæeš se odvratiti od mene.
20 But as a woman may betray her husband, so you have betrayed Me, O house of Israel,”
Doista kao što žena iznevjeri druga svojega, tako iznevjeriste mene, dome Izrailjev, veli Gospod.
21 A voice is heard on the barren heights, the children of Israel weeping and begging for mercy, because they have perverted their ways and forgotten the LORD their God.
Glas po visokim mjestima neka se èuje, plaè, molbe sinova Izrailjevijeh, jer prevratiše put svoj, zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega.
22 “Return, O faithless children, and I will heal your faithlessness.” “Here we are. We come to You, for You are the LORD our God.
Vratite se, sinovi odmetnici, i iscijeliæu odmete vaše. Evo, mi idemo k tebi, jer si ti Gospod Bog naš.
23 Surely deception comes from the hills, and commotion from the mountains. Surely the salvation of Israel is in the LORD our God.
Doista, zaludu su humovi, mnoštvo gora; doista, u Gospodu je Bogu našem spasenje Izrailjevo.
24 From our youth, that shameful god has consumed what our fathers have worked for— their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
Jer ta sramota proždrije trud otaca naših od djetinjstva našega, ovce njihove i goveda njihova, sinove njihove i kæeri njihove.
25 Let us lie down in our shame; let our disgrace cover us. We have sinned against the LORD our God, both we and our fathers; from our youth even to this day we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.”
Ležimo u sramoti svojoj, i pokriva nas rug naš; jer Gospodu Bogu svojemu griješismo mi i oci naši od djetinjstva svojega do danas, i ne slušasmo glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
