< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus says the Lord: “Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle from the elders of the people and from the elders of the priests.
Ovako reèe Gospod: idi i kupi krèag zemljan u lonèara s nekoliko starješina narodnijeh i starješina sveštenièkih.
2 And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is near the entrance to the earthen gate, and there you shall proclaim the words that I will speak to you.
I otidi u dolinu sina Enomova što je pred vratima istoènijem, i ondje proglasi rijeèi koje æu ti kazati.
3 And you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead an affliction over this place, so much so that it will ring in the ears of all who hear about it.
I reci: èujte rijeè Gospodnju, carevi Judini i stanovnici Jerusalimski; ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pustiti zlo na to mjesto da æe zujati uši svakome ko ga èuje.
4 For they have abandoned me, and they have made this place foreign, and they have offered libations in it to foreign gods, whom neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known. And they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
Jer me ostaviše i oskvrniše ovo mjesto kadeæi na njemu drugim bogovima, kojih ne znaše ni oni ni oci njihovi, ni carevi Judini, i napuniše to mjesto krvi prave.
5 And they have built the exalted places of Baal, in order to burn their children with fire as a holocaust to Baal, something that I did not instruct or speak of, nor did it enter into my heart.
I pogradiše visine Valu da sažižu sinove svoje ognjem na žrtve paljenice Valu, èega ne zapovjedih niti o tom govorih, niti mi na um doðe.
6 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
Zato, evo, ide vrijeme, veli Gospod, kad se ovo mjesto neæe više zvati Tofet, ni dolina sina Enomova, nego krvna dolina.
7 And I will scatter the counsel of Judah and of Jerusalem in this place. And I will overthrow them with the sword, in the sight of their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their lives. And I will give their carcasses to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the land as food.
Jer æu uništiti savjet Judin i Jerusalimski na ovom mjestu, i uèiniæu da padnu od maèa pred neprijateljima svojim i od ruke onijeh koji traže dušu njihovu, i mrtva æu tjelesa njihova dati za hranu pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
8 And I will set this city amid stupor and hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and they will hiss over all its wounds.
I obratiæu taj grad u pustoš i rug: ko god proðe mimo nj, èudiæe se i zviždaæe za sve muke njegove.
9 And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters. And each one of them will eat the flesh of his friend during the blockade and the embargo by which their enemies, and those who seek their lives, will enclose them.
I uèiniæu da jedu meso od svojih sinova i meso od svojih kæeri, i svaki æe jesti meso od druga svojega u nevolji i tjeskobi kojom æe im dosaðivati neprijatelji njihovi i koji traže dušu njihovu.
10 And you shall crush the bottle in the sight of the men who will go with you.
Potom razbij krèag pred ljudima koji æe iæi s tobom.
11 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: In the same way, I will crush this people and this city, just as the potter’s vessel was crushed and cannot be made whole again. And they will be buried at Topheth, because there will be no other place for burial.
I reci im: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: tako æu razbiti taj narod i taj grad kao što se razbije sud lonèarski, koji se ne može više opraviti, i u Tofetu æe se pogrebavati, jer neæe biti mjesta za pogrebavanje.
12 So will I do to this place and to its inhabitants, says the Lord. And I will make this city to be like Topheth.
Tako æu uèiniti tome mjestu, veli Gospod, i stanovnicima njegovijem i uèiniæu taj grad da bude kao Tofet;
13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be unclean, just like the place of Topheth: all the houses on whose roofs they sacrificed to all the armies of heaven and poured out libations to strange gods.”
I kuæe Jerusalimske i kuæe careva Judinijeh biæe neèiste kao mjesto Tofet, sve kuæe, gdje na krovovima kadiše svoj vojsci nebeskoj i ljevaše naljeve drugim bogovima.
14 Then Jeremiah arrived from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the atrium of the house of the Lord, and he said to all the people:
Potom se vrati Jeremija iz Tofeta kuda ga bješe poslao Gospod da prorokuje, i stade u trijemu doma Gospodnjega, i reèe svemu narodu:
15 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead over this community, and over all its cities, all the evils that I have spoken against it. For they have hardened their necks, so that they would not heed my words.”
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pustiti na taj grad i na sve gradove njegove sve zlo koje izrekoh za nj, jer otvrdnuše vratom svojim da ne slušaju rijeèi mojih.
