Jeremiah 31
1 “In that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, ja æu biti Bog svijem porodicama Izrailjevijem, i oni æe mi biti narod.
2 Thus says the Lord: “The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest.”
Ovako veli Gospod: narod što osta od maèa naðe milost u pustinji, kad iðah da dam odmor Izrailju.
3 The Lord appeared to me from a distance: “And I have loved you in perpetual charity. Therefore, showing pity, I have drawn you.
Odavna mi se javljaše Gospod. Ljubim te ljubavlju vjeènom, zato ti jednako èinim milost.
4 And I will build you up again. And you shall be built up, O virgin of Israel. Still shall you be adorned with your timbrels, and still shall you go forth to the singing of those who play.
Opet æu te sazidati, i biæeš sazidana, djevojko Izrailjeva, opet æeš se veseliti bubnjima svojim, i izlaziæeš sa zborom igraèkim.
5 Still shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will not gather the vintage until the time arrives.
Opet æeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarijskim, sadiæe vinogradari i ješæe rod.
6 For there will be a day on which the guardians on mount Ephraim will cry out: ‘Arise! And let us ascend on Zion to the Lord our God!’”
Jer æe doæi dan kad æe vikati èuvari na gori Jefremovoj: ustanite, da idemo na Sion, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
7 For thus says the Lord: “Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, and say: ‘O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
Jer ovako veli Gospod: pjevajte veselo radi Jakova, i podvikujte radi glave narodima; javljajte, hvalite i govorite: spasi, Gospode, narod svoj, ostatak Izrailjev.
8 Behold, I will lead them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, she who is with child, together with she who is giving birth: a great assembly returning to this place.
Evo, ja æu ih dovesti iz zemlje sjeverne, i sabraæu ih s krajeva zemaljskih, i slijepa i hroma, i trudnu i porodilju, sve zajedno, zbor veliki vratiæe se ovamo.
9 They will approach with weeping. And I will lead them back with mercy. And I will lead them through the torrents of water, by an upright way, and they will not stumble in it. For I have become Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.”
Iæi æe plaèuæi, i s molitvama æu ih dovesti natrag; vodiæu ih pokraj potoka pravijem putem, na kom se neæe spoticati; jer sam otac Izrailju, i Jefrem je prvenac moj.
10 Listen to the word of the Lord, O Gentiles, and announce it amid the islands that are far away, and say: “Whoever has scattered Israel will gather him, and he will guard him as a shepherd guards his flock.”
Èujte, narodi, rijeè Gospodnju, i javljajte po dalekim ostrvima i recite: koji rasije Izrailja, skupiæe ga, i èuvaæe ga kao pastir stado svoje.
11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and he has freed him from the hand of one more powerful.
Jer iskupi Gospod Jakova, i izbavi ga iz ruku jaèega od njega.
12 And they will arrive and give praise on Mount Zion. And they will flow together, to the good things of the Lord, over grain, and wine, and oil, and the offspring of cattle and herds. And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer be hungry.
I doæi æe i pjevaæe na visini Sionskoj, i steæi æe se k dobru Gospodnjem, k žitu, k vinu i k ulju, k jaganjcima i teocima; i duša æe im biti kao vrt zaliven, i neæe više tužiti.
13 Then the virgin will rejoice with singing, the young and the old together, and I will turn their mourning into gladness, and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.
Tada æe se veseliti djevojka u kolu, i momci i starci zajedno, i promijeniæu žalost njihovu na radost, i utješiæu ih, i razveseliæu ih po žalosti njihovoj.
14 And I will inebriate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be filled with my good things, says the Lord.”
I napitaæu sveštenicima dušu pretilinom, i narod æe se moj nasititi dobra mojega, govori Gospod.
15 Thus says the Lord: “A voice has been heard on high: of lamentation, mourning, and weeping; of Rachel crying for her sons and refusing to be consoled over them, because they are not.”
Ovako veli Gospod: glas u Rami èu se, naricanje i plaè veliki; Rahilja plaèe za djecom svojom, neæe da se utješi za djecom svojom, jer ih nema.
16 Thus says the Lord: “Let your voice cease from crying and your eyes from tears. For there is a reward for your work, says the Lord. And they will return from the land of the enemy.
Ovako veli Gospod: ustavi glas svoj od plaèa i oèi svoje od suza, jer ima plata djelu tvojemu, govori Gospod, i oni æe se vratiti iz zemlje neprijateljske.
17 And there is hope for your very end, says the Lord. And the sons will return to their own borders.
I imaš nada za pošljedak, govori Gospod, da æe se vratiti sinovi tvoji na meðe svoje.
18 Listening, I heard Ephraim going into captivity: ‘You have chastised me, and I was instructed, like a young untamed bull. Convert me, and I shall be converted. For you are the Lord my God.
Èujem doista Jefrema gdje tuži: pokarao si me, te sam pokaran kao june neuko; obrati me da se obratim, jer si ti Gospod Bog moj.
19 For after you converted me, I did penance. And after you revealed to me, I struck my thigh. I am confounded and ashamed. For I have endured the disgrace of my youth.’
Jer pošto se obratih, pokajah se; i pošto se nauèih, udarih se po bedru; jer se posramih i stidim se što nosim sramotu mladosti svoje.
20 Certainly, Ephraim is an honorable son to me; surely, he is a tender child. For I will still remember him, as in the time when I first spoke about him. Because my heart is stirred up over him, surely I will take pity on him, says the Lord.
Nije li mi Jefrem mio sin? nije li dijete predrago? Otkad govorih protiv njega, jednako ga se opominjem; zato je srce moje ustreptalo njega radi, doista æu se smilovati na nj, govori Gospod.
21 Establish a watchtower for yourself. Place yourself in bitterness. Direct your heart into the upright way, in which you used to walk. Return, return, O virgin of Israel, to these your cities!
Podigni znake, nanesi gomile kamenja, zapamti put kojim si išla; vrati se, djevojko Izrailjeva, vrati se u gradove svoje.
22 How long will you be absorbed in delights, O wandering daughter? For the Lord has created something new upon the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
Dokle æeš lutati, kæeri odmetnice! jer je Gospod uèinio nešto novo na zemlji: žena æe opkoliti èovjeka.
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Still they will speak this word in the land of Judah, and in its cities, when I will convert their captivity: ‘May the Lord bless you, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.’
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: još æu ovu rijeè govoriti u zemlji Judinoj i u gradovima njegovijem kad natrag dovedem roblje njihovo: Gospod da te blagoslovi, stane pravde, sveta goro!
24 And they will live in it: Judah together with all its cities, the farmer and those who drive the flocks.
Jer æe se naseliti u njoj Juda, i svi gradovi njegovi, i ratari i koji idu za stadom.
25 For I have inebriated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every hungry soul.
Jer æu napojiti umornu dušu, i nasititi svaku klonulu dušu.
26 Over this, I was awakened, as if from a deep sleep. And I saw, and my sleep became sweet to me.
Utom se probudih i pogledah, i san mi bješe sladak.
27 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and with the offspring of cattle.
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu zasijati dom Izrailjev i dom Judin sjemenom èovjeèijim i sjemenom od stoke.
28 And just as I have watched over them, so that I may root up, and tear down, and scatter, and destroy, and afflict, so will I watch over them, so that I may build and plant them, says the Lord.
I kao što sam pazio na njih da ih istrijebljujem i razvaljujem, i kvarim i zatirem i muèim, tako æu paziti na njih da ih sazidam i posadim, govori Gospod.
29 In those days, they will no longer say: ‘The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.’
U te dane neæe se više govoriti: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi.
30 Instead, each one will die for his own iniquity. Each man who will have eaten a bitter grape, his own teeth will be affected.
Nego æe svaki za svoj grijeh poginuti; ko god jede kiselo grožðe, tome æe zubi trnuti.
31 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will form a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
Evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem i s domom Judinijem nov zavjet,
32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, so as to lead them away from the land of Egypt, the covenant which they nullified, though I was the ruler over them, says the Lord.
Ne kao onaj zavjet koji uèinih s ocima njihovijem, kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje Misirske, jer onaj zavjet moj oni pokvariše, a ja im bijah muž, govori Gospod;
33 But this will be the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord: I will give my law to their inner most being, and I will write it upon their heart. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Nego ovo je zavjet što æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem poslije ovijeh dana, govori Gospod: metnuæu zavjet svoj u njih, i na srcu njihovu napisaæu ga, i biæu im Bog i oni æe mi biti narod.
34 And they will no longer teach, a man his neighbor, and a man his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all will know me, from the littlest of them even to the greatest, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will no longer remember their sin.
I neæe više uèiti prijatelj prijatelja ni brat brata govoreæi: poznajte Gospoda; jer æe me znati svi od maloga do velikoga, govori Gospod; jer æu im oprostiti bezakonja njihova, i grijeha njihovijeh neæu više pominjati.
35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun as the light of the day, who puts the moon and the stars in order as the light of the night, who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Ovako veli Gospod, koji daje sunce da svijetli danju, i uredbe mjesecu i zvijezdama da svijetle noæu, koji raskida more i buèe vali njegovi, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama:
36 If these laws fail in my sight, says the Lord, then the offspring of Israel will also fail, so that they will not be a people in my sight for all time.”
Ako tijeh uredaba nestane ispred mene, govori Gospod, i sjeme æe Izrailjevo prestati biti narod preda mnom navijek.
37 Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above are able to be measured, and if the foundations of the earth beneath can be examined, I also will cast aside all the offspring of Israel, because of all that they have done, says the Lord.
Ovako veli Gospod: ako se može izmjeriti nebo gore i izvidjeti temelji zemaljski dolje, tada æu i ja odbaciti sve sjeme Izrailjevo za sve što su uèinili, veli Gospod.
38 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when a city will be built for the Lord from the tower of Hananel, even to the Gate of the Corner;
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje æe se sazidati Gospodu ovaj grad od kule Ananeilove do vrata na uglu.
39 and the measuring line will go on even further in his sight, over the hill of Gareb, and it will encircle Goah
I još æe dalje otiæi uže mjeraèko do huma Gariva i obrnuæe se na Goat.
40 and the entire Valley of dead bodies and ashes, and the entire region of death, even to the torrent of Kedron, and to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east. All this will be the holy place of the Lord. It will not be rooted up, and it will not be torn down, anymore, forever.”
I sva dolina od mrtvijeh tjelesa i pepela, i sva polja dori do potoka Kedrona, do ugla konjskih vrata k istoku, biæe svetinja Gospodu; neæe se razvaliti ni potrti dovijeka.
