Jeremiah 16
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina i reče:
2 “You shall not take a wife, and there shall be no sons or daughters for you in this place.
“Ne uzimaj sebi žene; i nemaj ni sinova ni kćeri na ovome mjestu.
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are conceived in this place, and concerning their mothers who give birth to them, and concerning their fathers, from whose stock they have been born in this land:
Jer ovako govori Jahve o kćerima i sinovima koji će se roditi na ovome mjestu i o majkama koje će ih rađati i o očevima koji će ih imati u ovoj zemlji:
4 They will die from grievous mortal illnesses. They will not be mourned, and they will not be buried. They will be like manure on the face of the earth. And they will be consumed by sword and by famine. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the land.”
Oni će umrijeti smrću prebolnom, nitko ih neće oplakivati, niti će ih sahraniti. Pretvorit će se u gnoj za oranice, izginut će od mača i gladi, a njihova će trupla biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.”
5 For thus says the Lord: “You shall not enter the house of feasting, and you shall not go to mourn or to console them. For I have taken away from this people, says the Lord, my peace, my mercy, and my pity.
Da, ovako govori Jahve: “Ne smiješ ući u kuću žalosti, ne idi naricati niti ih sažaljevati. Jer ja sam tom narodu uskratio mir svoj - riječ je Jahvina - ljubav i samilost.
6 Both the great and the small will die in this land. They will not be buried, and they will not be mourned. And no one will cut themselves or make themselves bald on their behalf.
Pomrijet će veliko i malo u ovoj zemlji i nitko ih neće pokopati. Nitko neće naricati nad njima, niti će zbog njih praviti ureza, niti kose šišati.
7 And they will not break bread among themselves for the sake of him who mourns, so as to console him over the dead. And they will not give them a chalice to drink, so as to console them over their father and mother.
Za onog u žalosti neće kruh lomiti, da ga utješe zbog pokojnika, nitiće mu tko pružiti pehar utjehe zbog smrti njegova oca ili majke njegove.
8 And so, you shall not enter the house of feasting, so as to sit with them, and to eat and drink.”
Ne ulazi u kuću slavlja da s njima sjediš i gostiš se.”
9 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will take away from this place, in your sight and in your days, the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride.
Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Evo, učinit ću da s ovog mjesta i pred vašim očima i u ovim danima iščeznu poklici radosti i veselja i glasovi zaručnika i zaručnice.
10 And when you announce all these words to this people, they will say to you: ‘Why would the Lord pronounce all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity and what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’
A kad objaviš tom narodu sve ove riječi, pa te upitaju: 'Zašto nam Jahve zaprijeti svom ovom golemom nesrećom; u čemu je zločinstvo naše i u čemu su grijesi naši što ih počinismo protiv Jahve, Boga našega?' -
11 And you shall say to them: It is because your fathers abandoned me, says the Lord. And they went after strange gods, and they served them and adored them. And they abandoned me, and they did not keep my law.
onda im odgovori: 'U tom što me ostaviše oci vaši - riječ je Jahvina - i trčaše za tuđim bogovima da im služe i da im se klanjaju, a mene ostaviše i Zakona se moga ne držaše.
12 But you have acted even worse than your fathers. For behold, each one walks after the depravity of his own evil heart, so that he does not listen to me.
A vi još gore učiniste nego oci vaši, jer evo, svaki se povodi za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga, a mene ne sluša.
13 And so, I will cast you out of this land, into a land that you do not know, and that your fathers did not know. And in that place, you will serve, day and night, strange gods who will not give you rest.
Zato ću vas istjerati iz ove zemlje u zemlju koja vam je neznana, kao što bijaše i ocima vašim. Ondje ćete služiti tuđim bogovima danju i noću: jer neću vam se više smilovati!'”
14 Therefore, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who led the sons of Israel away from the land of Egypt,’
“Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz Egipta',
15 but instead, ‘As the Lord lives, who led the sons of Israel away from the land of the north,’ and from all the lands to which I have cast them out. And I will lead them back into their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao.' Vratit ću ih u zemlju njihovu koju dadoh ocima njihovim.
16 Behold, I will send many fishermen, says the Lord, and they will fish for them. And after this, I will send many hunters to them, and they will hunt for them on every mountain, and on every hilltop, and in the caverns of the rocks.
Evo, poslat ću mnoga ribara - riječ je Jahvina - koji će ih uloviti. A zatim ću dovesti mnoge lovce koji će ih goniti sa svih gora, i sa svih brežuljaka, i iz svih pećinskih rasjeklina.
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways. They have not been hidden from my face, and their iniquity has not been concealed from my eyes.
Jer moje oči prate sve njihove putove: neće mi izmaći, niti se bezakonje njihovo može sakriti od očiju mojih.
18 But first, I will repay their double iniquities and their sins. For they have defiled my land with the dead bodies of their idols, and they have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
Dvostruko ću naplatiti njihovo bezakonje i grijehe njihove, jer su truplima svojih grozota oskvrnuli moju zemlju i moju baštinu ispunili gnusobama.”
19 “O Lord, my strength, and my health, and my refuge in the day of tribulation: the Gentiles will approach you from the ends of the earth, and they will say: ‘Truly, our fathers possessed a lie, an emptiness that has not benefited them.’
Jahve, snago moja i moja utvrdo, utočište moje u danima nevolje! K tebi će doći narodi s krajeva zemlje. I govorit će: Samu nam laž oci namriješe, Ništavost i Nemoć.
20 How can man make gods for himself, though these are not gods?”
TÓa stvara li čovjek sam sebi bogove, to nikako nisu bogovi.
21 “Concerning this, behold: I will make it clear to them, in this turn. I will reveal to them my hand and my virtue. And they will know that the Lord is my name.”
Učinit ću, evo, da osjete, da ovaj put zaista oćute moju ruku i snagu moju, i znat će da mi je ime Jahve.
