Jeremiah 7

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:

Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:

2 Stand in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.

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 the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and your doings good: and I will dwell with you 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 Trust not in lying words, saying: The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is the temple of the Lord.

Ne uzdajte se u lažne rijeèi govoreæi: crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja ovo je.

5 For if you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement between a man and his neighbor,

Nego doista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i bližnjega njegova.

6 If you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own 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 I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.

Tada æu uèiniti da stanujete od vijeka do vijeka na ovom mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao ocima vašim.

8 Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:

Eto, vi se uzdate u rijeèi lažne, koje ne pomažu.

9 To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you know not.

Kradete, ubijate i èinite preljubu, kunete se krivo, i kadite Valima, i idete za drugim bogovima, kojih ne znate;

10 And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done 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 then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: I have seen it, saith the Lord.

Je li ovaj dom, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim oèima peæina hajduèka? Gle, i ja vidim, veli Gospod.

12 Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: 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 you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered:

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 do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo.

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 away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim.

I odbaciæu vas od lica svojega, kao što sam odbacio svu braæu vašu, sve sjeme Jefremovo.

16 Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand 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 Juda, 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 the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to 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 Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?

Mene li draže? govori Gospod; eda li ne sebe, na sramotu licu svojemu?

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, 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 the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye the flesh.

Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: žrtve svoje paljenice sastavite sa prinosima svojim, i jedite meso.

22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and I commanded them not, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Jer ne govorih ocima vašim, niti im zapovjedih, kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, za žrtve paljenice ni za prinose.

23 But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I have commanded 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 their own will, and in the perversity of their wicked 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 From the day that their fathers came out of the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets from day to day, rising up early and sending.

Otkad iziðoše oci vaši iz zemlje Misiriske do danas, slah k vama sve sluge svoje proroke svaki dan zarana i bez prestanka.

26 And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and 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 to them all these words, but they will not hearken to thee: and thou shalt call 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 to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: Faith is lost, and is carried away out of 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 high: for the Lord 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 Because the children of Juda have done evil in my eyes, saith the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house in which my name is called upon, to pollute 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 Topeth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons, and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded not, nor thought on in my heart.

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 the days shall come, saith the Lord, and it shall no more be called Topeth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom: but the valley of slaughter, and they shall bury in Topeth, because there is 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 carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be non to drive 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 out of the cities of Juda, and out of the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

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.
