Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is recorded with a pen of iron, and with the sharp point of a jewel it is cut on their hearts of stone, and on the horns of their altars for a sign to them:
Judin grijeh upisan je željeznom pisaljkom, urezan dijamantnim vrškom u pločicu njihova srca i u rogove njihovih žrtvenika,
2 Their altars and their wood pillars under every branching tree, on the high hills and the mountains in the field.
kao spomen sinovima njihovim na žrtvenike njihove i ašere njihove oko zelenog drveća na visokim brežuljcima,
3 I will give your wealth and all your stores to be taken away in war without a price, because of your sins in every part of your land.
na brdima i usred polja. Tvoje bogatstvo i sve blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za grijeh svoj po svoj zemlji.
4 And your hand will have to let go your heritage which I gave you; and I will make you a servant to your haters in a land which is strange to you: for you have put my wrath on fire with a flame which will go on burning for ever.
Morat ćeš pustiti baštinu koju sam tebi poklonio. Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ. Jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vječno gorjeti.
5 This is what the Lord has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Proklet čovjek koji se uzdaje u čovjeka, i slabo tijelo smatra svojom mišicom, i čije se srce od Jahve odvraća.
6 For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.
Jer on je kao drač u pustinji: ne osjeća kad je sreća na domaku, tavori dane u usahloj pustinji, u zemlji slanoj, nenastanjenoj.
7 A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Blagoslovljen čovjek koji se uzdaje u Jahvu i kome je Jahve uzdanje.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.
Nalik je na stablo zasađeno uz vodu što korijenje pušta k potoku: ne mora se ničeg bojati kad dođe žega, na njemu uvijek zelenilo ostaje. U sušnoj godini brigu ne brine, ne prestaje donositi plod.
9 The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?
Podmuklije od svega je srce. Jedva popravljivo, tko da ga pronikne?
10 I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.
Ja, Jahve, istražujem srca i ispitujem bubrege, da bih dao svakom po njegovu vladanju, prema plodu ruku njegovih.
11 Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.
Prepelica što leži na jajima a ne leže jest onaj što nepravdom stječe bogatstvo: usred dana svojih ostavit' ga mora i na kraju ostaje lÓuda.
12 A seat of glory, placed on high from the first, is our holy place.
Slavan prijestol dignut od davnina, to je naše sveto mjesto.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who give you up will be put to shame; those who go away from you will be cut off from the earth, because they have given up the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
O Jahve, nado Izraela, svi koji te ostave postidjet će se, koji se odmetnu od tebe bit će u prah upisani, jer ostaviše Izvor žive vode.
14 Make me well, O Lord, and I will be well; be my saviour, and I will be safe: for you are my hope.
Iscijeli me, Jahve, i bit ću zdrav, spasi me, i bit ću spašen, jer ti si pjesma moja.
15 See, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
Evo ih što mi govore: Gdje je riječ Jahvina? Neka se ispuni!
16 As for me, I have not said; Let the day of trouble come to them quickly; and I have not been hoping for the death-giving day; you have knowledge of what came from my lips; it was open before you.
Ta ja se nisam vrzao oko tebe za njihovu nesreću niti sam želio kobni Dan! - ti to znaš, sve što je izlazilo iz usta mojih pred tobom je.
17 Be not a cause of fear to me: you are my safe place in the day of evil.
Ne budi mi na užas, ti, utočište moje, u Dan nesretni.
18 Let them be put to shame who are attacking me, but let me not be shamed; let them be overcome with fear, but let me not be overcome: send on them the day of evil, and put them to destruction twice over.
Progonitelji moji nek' se postide, ne ja, njih smeti, ne mene. Na njih dovedi Dan nesretni, zatri ih dvogubim zatorom!
19 This is what the Lord has said to me: Go and take your place in the doorway of Benjamin, where the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the doorways of Jerusalem;
Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Idi i stani na vrata Sinova naroda na koja ulaze i izlaze kraljevi judejski i na sva vrata jeruzalemska.
20 And say to them, Give ear to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all the people of Jerusalem who come in by these doors:
Reci im: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi, kraljevi judejski i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci koji prolazite kroz ova vrata.
21 This is what the Lord has said: See to yourselves, that you take up no weight on the Sabbath day, or take it in through the doors of Jerusalem;
Ovako govori Jahve: 'Čuvajte se ako vam je život mio i ne nosite tereta u dan subotnji, i ne unosite ga na vrata jeruzalemska.
22 And take no weight out of your houses on the Sabbath day, or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I gave orders to your fathers;
I ne nosite bremena iz kuće u dan subotnji, i nikakva posla ne radite, nego svetkujte dan subotnji, kao što sam zapovjedio vašim ocima.
23 But they gave no attention and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff so that they might not give ear and might not get teaching.
Oni me ne poslušaše i ne prikloniše uha svojega, nego tvrdovrato ne poslušaše i ne prihvatiše nauka.
24 And it will be, that if with all care you give ear to me, says the Lord, and take no weight through the doorways of this town on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work in it;
A vi, ako me poslušate - riječ je Jahvina - i ako ne budete nosili bremena na vrata ovoga grada, nego budete svetkovali dan subotnji, ne radeći nikakva posla,
25 Then through the doors of this town there will come kings and princes, seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, they and their princes, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem: and this town will keep its place for ever.
tada će na vrata ovoga grada ulaziti kraljevi koji sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, koji se voze kolima i jašu na konjima, oni i njihovi časnici, Judejci i Jeruzalemci, i ovaj će grad ostati dovijeka.
26 And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, to the house of the Lord.
I dolazit će iz gradova judejskih, iz okolice Jeruzalema, iz zemlje Benjaminove i iz Šefele, iz Gorja i iz Negeba, da prinesu paljenice, klanice, prinosnice i kad i da prinesu žrtvu zahvalnicu u Domu Jahvinu.
27 But if you do not give ear to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and to let no weight be lifted and taken through the doors of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: then I will put a fire in its doorways, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem, and it will never be put out.
Ali ako me ne poslušate te ne budete svetkovali dan subotnji, i ako budete nosili bremena ulazeći na vrata jeruzalemska u dan subotnji, tada ću potpaliti oganj na vratima njegovim: i plamen će proždrijeti dvore jeruzalemske, i neće se ugasiti.'”
