Jeremiah 23
1 Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Jehovah.
Teško pastirima koji potiru i razmeæu stado paše moje! govori Gospod.
2 Therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za pastire koji pasu narod moj: vi razmetnuste ovce moje i razagnaste ih, i ne obilaziste ih; evo, ja æu vas obiæi za zloæu djela vaših, govori Gospod.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their pastures; and they shall be fruitful and shall multiply.
I ostatak ovaca svojih ja æu skupiti iz svijeh zemalja, u koje ih razagnah, i vratiæu ih u torove njihove, gdje æe se naploditi i umnožiti.
4 And I will raise up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, saith Jehovah.
I postaviæu im pastire, koji æe ih pasti, da se ne boje više i ne plaše i da ne pogine nijedna, govori Gospod.
5 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, who shall reign as king, and act wisely, and shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Gle, idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje æu podignuti Davidu klicu pravednu, koja æe carovati i biti sreæna i èiniti sud i pravdu na zemlji.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Jehovah our Righteousness.
U njegove dane spašæe se Juda, i Izrailj æe stanovati u miru, i ovo mu je ime kojim æe se zvati: Gospod pravda naša.
7 Therefore behold, days are coming, saith Jehovah, that they shall no more say, [As] Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje se neæe više govoriti: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje Misirske;
8 but, [As] Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led back the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.
Nego: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izveo i doveo sjeme doma Izrailjeva iz sjeverne zemlje i iz svijeh zemalja, u koje ih bijah razagnao. I oni æe sjedjeti u svojoj zemlji.
9 Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of Jehovah, and because of the words of his holiness.
Radi proroka puca srce u meni, trepeæu sve kosti moje, kao pijan sam i kao èovjek kojega je osvojilo vino, Gospoda radi i njegovijeh radi svetijeh rijeèi.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of execration the land mourneth. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up; for their course is evil, and their force is not right.
Jer je zemlja puna preljuboèinaca, i s kletava tuži zemlja, posušiše se paše u pustinji; trk je njihov zao i moæ njihova neprava.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane: even in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah.
Jer i prorok i sveštenik skvrne je, nalazim i u domu svom zloæu njihovu, govori Gospod.
12 Therefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness; they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them in the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
Zato æe put njihov biti kao klizavica po tami, gdje æe popuznuti i pasti; jer æu pustiti na njih zlo godine pohoðenja njihova, govori Gospod.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
U proroka Samarijskih vidio sam bezumlje, prorokovahu Valom, prelašæivahu narod moj Izrailja;
14 And in the prophets of Jerusalem have I seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in falsehood, and strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none doth return from his wickedness. They are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
Ali u proroka Jerusalimskih vidim strahotu: èine preljubu i hode u laži, ukrjepljuju ruke zlikovcima da se niko ne vrati od svoje zloæe; svi su mi kao Sodom, i stanovnici njegovi kao Gomor.
15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama o tijem prorocima: evo, ja æu ih nahraniti pelenom i napojiæu ih žuèi; jer od proroka Jerusalimskih izide oskvrnjenje po svoj zemlji.
16 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they lead you to vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: ne slušajte što govore proroci koji vam prorokuju; varaju vas, govore utvare svojega srca, ne iz usta Gospodnjih.
17 They say constantly unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace. And they say unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his heart, No evil shall come upon you.
Jednako govore onima koji ne mare za me: Gospod je rekao: imaæete mir; i svakome koji ide po misli srca svojega govore: neæe doæi na vas zlo.
18 For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, so that he hath perceived and heard his word? who hath hearkened to his word and listened?
Jer ko je stajao u vijeæu Gospodnjem, i vidio ili èuo rijeè njegovu? ko je pazio na rijeè njegovu i èuo?
19 Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, yea, a whirling storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.
Evo, vihor Gospodnji, gnjev, iziæi æe vihor, koji ne prestaje, pašæe na glavu bezbožnicima.
20 The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart: at the end of the days ye shall understand it clearly.
Neæe se odvratiti gnjev Gospodnji dokle ne uèini i izvrši što je u srcu naumio; najposlije æete razumjeti to sasvijem.
21 I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Ne slah tijeh proroka, a oni trèaše; ne govorih im, a oni prorokovaše.
22 But if they had stood in my council, and had caused my people to hear my words, then would they have turned them from their evil way and from the wickedness of their doings.
Da su stajali u mom vijeæu, tada bi kazivali moje rijeèi narodu mojemu, i odvraæali bi ih s puta njihova zloga i od zloæe djela njihovijeh.
23 Am I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a God afar off?
Jesam li ja Bog izbliza, govori Gospod, a nijesam Bog i izdaleka?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? saith Jehovah.
Može li se ko sakriti na tajno mjesto da ga ja ne vidim? govori Gospod; ne ispunjam li ja nebo i zemlju? govori Gospod.
25 I have heard what the prophets say, who prophesy falsehood in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Èujem što govore ti proroci koji u ime moje prorokuju laž govoreæi: snio sam, snio sam.
26 How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, and who are prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Dokle æe to biti u srcu prorocima koji prorokuju laž, i prijevaru srca svojega prorokuju?
27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
Koji misle da æe uèiniti da narod moj zaboravi ime moje uza sne njihove, koje pripovijedaju jedan drugomu, kao što zaboraviše oci njihovi ime moje uz Vala.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell the dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah.
Prorok koji sni, neka pripovijeda san; a u koga je rijeè moja, neka govori rijeè moju istinito; šta æe pljeva sa pšenicom? govori Gospod.
29 Is not my word like a fire, saith Jehovah; and like a hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces?
Nije li rijeè moja kao oganj, govori Gospod, i kao malj koji razbija kamen?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Zato, evo me na te proroke, govori Gospod, koji kradu moje rijeèi jedan od drugoga.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that use their tongues, and say, He hath said.
Evo me na te proroke, veli Gospod, koji dižu jezik svoj i govore: on veli.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith Jehovah, and that tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies and by their boasting; and I have not sent them, nor commanded them; and they profit not this people at all, saith Jehovah.
Evo me na one koji prorokuju lažne sne, veli Gospod, i pripovijedajuæi ih zavode narod moj lažima svojim i hitrinom svojom; a ja ih nijesam poslao niti sam im zapovjedio; i neæe ništa pomoæi tome narodu, govori Gospod.
33 And when this people, or a prophet, or a priest, ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even cast you off, saith Jehovah.
Ako te zapita ovaj narod ili koji prorok ili sveštenik govoreæi: kako je breme Gospodnje? tada im reci: kako breme? ostaviæu vas, govori Gospod.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house.
A proroka i sveštenika i narod koji reèe: breme Gospodnje, ja æu pokarati toga èovjeka i dom njegov.
35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother: What hath Jehovah answered? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?
Nego ovako govorite svaki bližnjemu svojemu i svaki bratu svojemu: šta odgovori Gospod? i: šta reèe Gospod?
36 And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more; for every man's own word shall be his burden: for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts, our God.
A bremena Gospodnjega ne pominjite više, jer æe svakome biti breme rijeè njegova, jer izvræete rijeèi Boga živoga, Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga našega.
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: What hath Jehovah answered thee? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?
Ovako reci proroku: šta ti odgovori Gospod? i: šta ti reèe Gospod?
38 But since ye say, The burden of Jehovah, therefore thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;
Ali kad kažete: breme Gospodnje, zato ovako veli Gospod: šta govorite tu rijeè: breme Gospodnje, a ja slah k vama da vam kažu: ne govorite: breme Gospodnje,
39 therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, far from my face, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers.
Zato evo me, ja æu vas zaboraviti sasvijem i odbaciæu od sebe vas i grad koji sam dao vama i ocima vašim.
40 And I will bring everlasting reproach upon you, and everlasting shame, that shall not be forgotten.
I navaliæu na vas porugu vjeènu i sramotu vjeènu koja se neæe zaboraviti.
