Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
2 Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.
Stani na vratima doma Gospodnjega, i oglasi ondje ovu rijeè, i reci: èujte rijeè Gospodnju, svi Judejci, koji ulazite na ova vrata da se poklonite Gospodu.
3 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa æu uèiniti da stanujete na ovom mjestu.
4 Confide ye not in words of falsehood, saying, Jehovah's temple, Jehovah's temple, Jehovah's temple is this.
Ne uzdajte se u lažne rijeèi govoreæi: crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja ovo je.
5 But if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye really do justice between a man and his neighbour,
Nego doista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i bližnjega njegova.
6 [if] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;
Inostrancu, siroti i udovici ne èinite krivo, i krvi prave ne proljevajte na ovom mjestu, i ne idite za drugim bogovima na svoje zlo.
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from of old even for ever.
Tada æu uèiniti da stanujete od vijeka do vijeka na ovom mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao ocima vašim.
8 Behold, ye confide in words of falsehood that cannot profit.
Eto, vi se uzdate u rijeèi lažne, koje ne pomažu.
9 What? steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not...
Kradete, ubijate i èinite preljubu, kunete se krivo, i kadite Valima, i idete za drugim bogovima, kojih ne znate;
10 then ye come and stand before me, in this house which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, — in order to do all these abominations!
Pa onda dohodite i stajete preda mnom u ovom domu, koji se zove mojim imenom, i govorite: izbavismo se, da èinite sve ove gadove.
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, a den of robbers in your eyes? Even I, behold, I have seen it, saith Jehovah.
Je li ovaj dom, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim oèima peæina hajduèka? Gle, i ja vidim, veli Gospod.
12 For go now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it, for the wickedness of my people Israel.
Nego idite sada na moje mjesto, koje je bilo u Silomu, gdje namjestih ime svoje ispoèetka, i vidite što sam mu uèinio za zloæu naroda svojega Izrailja.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, and I spoke unto you, rising up early and speaking, and ye heard not, and I called you, and ye answered not;
Zato sada, što èinite sva ona djela, veli Gospod, i što vam govorim zarana jednako, a vi ne slušate, i kad vas zovem, a vi se ne odzivate,
14 I will even do unto the house which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh;
Zato æu uèiniti tomu domu, koji se zove mojim imenom, u koji se vi uzdate, i ovomu mjestu, koje dadoh vama i ocima vašim, kao što sam uèinio Silomu.
15 and I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
I odbaciæu vas od lica svojega, kao što sam odbacio svu braæu vašu, sve sjeme Jefremovo.
16 And thou, pray not for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, and make not intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
Ti se dakle ne moli za taj narod, i ne podiži vike ni molbe za njih, i ne govori mi za njih; jer te neæu uslišiti.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Zar ne vidiš šta èine po gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Sinovi kupe drva, a ocevi lože oganj, i žene mijese tijesto, da peku kolaèe carici nebeskoj, i da ljevaju naljeve drugim bogovima, da bi mene dražili.
19 Is it I whom they provoke to anger? saith Jehovah; is it not themselves, to the shame of their own face?
Mene li draže? govori Gospod; eda li ne sebe, na sramotu licu svojemu?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place; upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Zato ovako govori Gospod Gospod: gle, gnjev moj i jarost moja izliæe se na ovo mjesto, na ljude i na stoku i na drveta poljska i na rod zemaljski, i raspaliæe se, i neæe se ugasiti.
21 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: žrtve svoje paljenice sastavite sa prinosima svojim, i jedite meso.
22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them concerning burnt-offerings and sacrifices, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt;
Jer ne govorih ocima vašim, niti im zapovjedih, kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, za žrtve paljenice ni za prinose.
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
Nego im ovo zapovjedih govoreæi: slušajte glas moj i biæu vam Bog i vi æete mi biti narod, i idite svijem putovima koje vam zapovjedih, da bi vam dobro bilo.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.
Ali ne poslušaše, niti uha svojega prignuše, nego idoše po savjetima i mislima zloga srca svojega, i otidoše natrag a ne naprijed.
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, unto this day, have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them;
Otkad iziðoše oci vaši iz zemlje Misiriske do danas, slah k vama sve sluge svoje proroke svaki dan zarana i bez prestanka.
26 but they have not hearkened unto me, nor inclined their ear; and they have hardened their neck: they have done worse than their fathers.
Ali ne poslušaše me, niti uha svojega prignuše, nego bijahu tvrdovrati i èiniše gore nego oci njihovi.
27 And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken unto thee; and thou shalt call unto them, but they will not answer thee.
Govoriæeš im sve ove rijeèi, ali te neæe poslušati; i zvaæeš ih, ali ti se neæe odazvati.
28 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation which hath not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received correction; fidelity is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Zato im reci: ovo je narod koji ne sluša glasa Gospoda Boga svojega, niti prima nauke; propade vjera i nesta je iz usta njihovijeh.
29 Cut off thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the heights; for Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Ostrizi kosu svoju i baci je, i zaridaj iza glasa na visokim mjestima, jer odbaci Gospod i ostavi rod, na koji se razgnjevi.
30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith Jehovah; they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Jer sinovi Judini uèiniše što je zlo preda mnom, govori Gospod, metnuše gadove svoje u dom koji se zove mojim imenom, da bi ga oskvrnili.
31 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither did it come up into my mind.
I sagradiše visine Tofetu, koji je u dolini sina Enomova, da sažižu sinove svoje i kæeri svoje ognjem, što nijesam zapovjedio niti mi je došlo na um.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith Jehovah, when it shall no more be said, Topheth, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place.
Zato evo, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad se više neæe zvati Tofet ni dolina sina Enomova, nego dolina krvna, i pogrebavaæe se u Tofetu, jer neæe biti mjesta.
33 And the carcases of this people shall be food for the fowl of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall scare [them] away.
I mrtva æe tjelesa naroda ovoga biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerju zemaljskom, i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.
34 And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.
I uèiniæu, te æe iz gradova Judinijeh i s ulica Jerusalimskih nestati glasa radosna i glasa vesela, glasa ženikova i glasa nevjestina; jer æe zemlja opustjeti.
