Jeremiah 29
1 Jeremiah the prophet wrote this letter and sent it from Jerusalem to the elders who were left among the exiles, to the priests, the prophets, and everyone else who had been exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar.
A ovo su rijeèi u poslanici koju posla prorok Jeremija iz Jerusalima k ostatku starješina zarobljenijeh i sveštenicima i prorocima i svemu narodu što ga preseli Navuhodonosor iz Jerusalima u Vavilon,
2 This was after King Jehoiachin, the queen mother, the court officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metals-workers had been exiled from Jerusalem.
Pošto otide iz Jerusalima car Jehonija i carica i dvorani i knezovi Judini i Jerusalimski, i drvodjelje i kovaèi,
3 Elasah, son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, son of Hilkiah, took the letter with them when Zedekiah king of Judah sent them to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. In the letter Jeremiah wrote:
Po Elasi sinu Safanovu i Gemariji sinu Helkijinu, koje sla Sedekija car Judin u Vavilon k Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom; i u knjizi govoraše:
4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were taken from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, svemu roblju koje preselih iz Jerusalima u Vavilon:
5 Build yourselves houses there to live in. Plant gardens and grow food to eat.
Gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima; sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov;
6 Get married and have children. Arrange for your children to get married so they can have children too. Increase in number, don't decrease.
Ženite se i raðajte sinove i kæeri; i sinove svoje ženite, i kæeri svoje udajite, neka raðaju sinove i kæeri, i množite se tu i ne umaljujte se.
7 Help make the city where I've exiled you more prosperous. Pray to the Lord for it, since as it prospers, so will you.
I tražite dobro gradu, u koji vas preselih, i molite se za nj Gospodu, jer u dobru njegovu biæe vama dobro.
8 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Don't be fooled by your prophets and fortune-tellers, and don't listen to any dreams they interpret for you.
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: nemojte da vas varaju vaši proroci što su meðu vama i vaši vraèi, i ne gledajte na sne svoje što sanjate.
9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name; I have not sent them, declares the Lord.
Jer vam oni lažno prorokuju u moje ime, ja ih nijesam poslao, govori Gospod.
10 This is what the Lord says: When the seventy years exile in Babylon are over, I will see to you and keep my promise to bring you back to Jerusalem.
Jer ovako veli Gospod: kad se navrši u Vavilonu sedamdeset godina, pohodiæu vas, i izvršiæu vam dobru rijeè svoju da æu vas vratiti na ovo mjesto.
11 I know what I intend to do for you, declares the Lord. I plan good things for you and not bad. I'm going to give you a future and a hope.
Jer ja znam misli koje mislim za vas, govori Gospod, misli dobre a ne zle, da vam dam pošljedak kakav èekate.
12 Then you will call for my help, you will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.
Tada æete me prizivati i iæi æete i moliæete mi se, i uslišiæu vas.
13 You will look for me and you will find me when you're completely committed to looking for me.
I tražiæete me, i naæi æete me, kad me potražite svijem srcem svojim.
14 I will let you find me, declares the Lord. I will end your captivity, gathering you from all the nations and places where I scattered you, declares the Lord. I will bring you back home to the place from where I sent you into exile.
I daæu vam se da me naðete, govori Gospod, i vratiæu roblje vaše, i sabraæu vas iz svijeh naroda i iz svijeh mjesta u koja sam vas razagnao, govori Gospod, i dovešæu vas opet na mjesto, odakle sam vas iselio.
15 But if you argue, “The Lord has provided prophets for us in Babylon,”
Jer rekoste: Gospod nam podiže proroke u Vavilonu.
16 this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David's throne and everyone who's left in Jerusalem, your fellow citizens who weren't taken with you into exile.
Jer ovako veli Gospod za cara koji sjedi na prijestolu Davidovu i za sav narod koji stoji u ovom gradu, za braæu vašu što ne otidoše s vama u ropstvo.
17 This is what the Lord Almighty says: I'm going send war and famine and disease against them. I'll make them like rotten figs, so bad that they can't be eaten.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, ja æu pustiti na njih maè, glad i pomor, i uèiniæu ih da budu kao smokve rðave, koje se ne mogu jesti, kako su rðave.
18 I will chase them down with war and famine and disease. I will make all the kingdoms of the earth horrified by them. They will become a curse word, totally ruined, people to be mocked and criticized among all the nations where I scatter them.
I goniæu ih maèem i glaðu i pomorom, i uèiniæu da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim, da budu uklin i èudo i potsmijeh i rug u svijeh naroda, u koje ih proženem.
19 I'm going to do this because they haven't obeyed to my words, declares the Lord, which I sent to them time and again through my servants the prophets. You exiles haven't obeyed me either, declares the Lord.
Jer ne poslušaše mojih rijeèi, govori Gospod, kad slah k njima sluge svoje proroke zarana jednako; ali ne poslušaste, govori Gospod.
20 So listen to the word of the Lord, all you exiles I sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Slušajte dakle rijeè Gospodnju vi svi zarobljeni, koje poslah iz Jerusalima u Vavilon.
21 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in my name. I'm going to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them right before your eyes.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev za Ahava sina Kolajina i za Sedekiju sina Masijina, koji vam prorokuju u moje ime laž: evo, ja æu ih predati u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, da ih pobije na vaše oèi.
22 Because of what happens to them, all the exiles of Judah in Babylon will curse others like this: “May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, burned alive by the king of Babylon!”
I od njih æe se uzeti uklin meðu sve roblje Judino što je u Vavilonu, te æe govoriti: Gospod da uèini od tebe kao od Sedekije i kao od Ahava, koje ispeèe car Vavilonski na ognju.
23 They did outrageous things in Israel—they committed adultery with their neighbor's wives and told lies in my name. I didn't tell them to say anything. I am the one who knows what they did, and I can witness to it, declares the Lord.
Jer uèiniše grdilo u Izrailju èineæi preljubu sa ženama bližnjih svojih i govoreæi laž na moje ime, što im ne zapovjedih; ja znam to, i svjedok sam, govori Gospod.
24 Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite
I Semaji iz Nelama reci govoreæi:
25 that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: On your own authority you sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests, saying,
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev govoreæi: što si u svoje ime poslao knjige svemu narodu koji je u Jerusalimu, i Sofoniji sinu Masijinu svešteniku i svijem sveštenicima, govoreæi:
26 “Zephaniah, the Lord has chosen you as priest to replace Jehoiada, to be in charge of the Lord's Temple. In that capacity you are required to put in the stocks and neck irons any crazy person who claims to be a prophet.
Gospod te postavi sveštenikom na mjesto Jodaja sveštenika da pazite u domu Gospodnjem na svakoga èovjeka bezumna i koji se gradi prorok, da ih meæeš u tamnicu i u klade.
27 So why haven't you not punished Jeremiah of Anathoth, who claims to be a prophet among you?
Zašto dakle ne ukori Jeremije Anatoæanina, koji se gradi prorok meðu vama?
28 You should have done this because he has sent a letter to us here in Babylon, stating, ‘The exile will last a long time. So build yourselves houses there to live in. Plant gardens and grow food to eat.’”
Jer posla k nama u Vavilon i poruèi: dugo æe trajati; gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima, i sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov.
29 However, Zephaniah the priest read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.
I Sofonija sveštenik proèita tu knjigu pred prorokom Jeremijom.
30 Then the Lord told Jeremiah:
I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji govoreæi:
31 Send this message to all the exiles: This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Since Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I didn't send him, and has convinced you to believe in a lie,
Pošlji ka svemu roblju i poruèi: ovako veli Gospod za Semaju iz Nelama: što vam prorokuje Semaja, a ja ga ne poslah, i èini da se uzdate u laž,
32 this is what the Lord says: I'm going to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He won't have any family left among this people, and he won't experience the good things that I'm going to do for my people, declares the Lord, for he has promoted rebellion against the Lord.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu pohoditi Semaju Nelamljanina i sjeme njegovo, neæe od njega niko ostati u ovom narodu niti æe vidjeti dobra što æu ja uèiniti narodu svojemu, govori Gospod, jer kaziva odmet od Gospoda.
