Jeremiah 31
1 At that time, I will be the God of all Israel's families, and they will be my people, declares the Lord.
U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, ja æu biti Bog svijem porodicama Izrailjevijem, i oni æe mi biti narod.
2 This is what the Lord says: The Israelites who survive death by the sword were blessed by the Lord in the desert as they looked for peace and quiet.
Ovako veli Gospod: narod što osta od maèa naðe milost u pustinji, kad iðah da dam odmor Izrailju.
3 Long ago the Lord came and told us, My love for you will last forever. I hold you close to me with my trustworthy love.
Odavna mi se javljaše Gospod. Ljubim te ljubavlju vjeènom, zato ti jednako èinim milost.
4 I'm going to rebuild you, and it will happen. You will be rebuilt, Virgin Israel. You will pick up your tambourines again and run outside to dance with joy.
Opet æu te sazidati, i biæeš sazidana, djevojko Izrailjeva, opet æeš se veseliti bubnjima svojim, i izlaziæeš sa zborom igraèkim.
5 You will replant vineyards on Samaria's hills; those who plant and will enjoy the grapes.
Opet æeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarijskim, sadiæe vinogradari i ješæe rod.
6 A day is coming when watchmen will call out from the hills of Ephraim, “Come on, let's go up to Zion, to worship 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 This is what the Lord says: Sing happily for the descendants of Jacob; shout for the greatest of all nations! Let everybody know! Praise and call out, “Lord, save your people, those who are left 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 Watch, because I will bring them back from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth. Everyone will return, even the blind and the lame, pregnant women, even mothers giving birth—a great gathering coming home,
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 come back with tears in their eyes, and they will be praying as I take them home. I will lead them beside streams of waters, on level paths where they won't stumble. For I am Israel's Father; 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, nations, to what the Lord has to say, and let others know about in faraway countries: The Lord who scattered Israel will gather them together and keep them safe, just like a shepherd looks after 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 The Lord has redeemed the descendants of Jacob and rescued them from their enemies who had defeated them.
Jer iskupi Gospod Jakova, i izbavi ga iz ruku jaèega od njega.
12 They will return and celebrate with happy shouts on Mount Zion; their faces will beam over the Lord's wonderful gifts—the grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the young of their flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden; and they won't ever be depressed again.
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 The girls will dance in celebration; young men and old people will join in too. I will turn their sorrow into joy, and I will comfort them and change their sadness into happiness.
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 I will give my priests everything they need and more, and my people will be more than satisfied with my goodness towards them, declares the Lord.
I napitaæu sveštenicima dušu pretilinom, i narod æe se moj nasititi dobra mojega, govori Gospod.
15 This is what the Lord says: The sound of terrible weeping and mourning is heard in Ramah. It's Rachel crying for her children. They are dead, and she can't be comforted
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 This is what the Lord says: Don't cry anymore, don't weep anymore, because you're going to be rewarded for what you've done, declares the Lord. Your children will return from the country of your enemies.
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 So you can have hope for the future, declares the Lord. Your children will return to their own country.
I imaš nada za pošljedak, govori Gospod, da æe se vratiti sinovi tvoji na meðe svoje.
18 Don't worry, I've heard Ephraim's groans, saying, “You disciplined me really hard as if I was a calf that hadn't been trained. Please bring me back, let me return, 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 When I came back to you I was sorry, and once I understood, I held my head in sadness. I was ashamed and I blushed, embarrassed at what I'd done when I was young.”
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 But isn't Ephraim still my precious son, my lovely child? Even though I often have to scold him, I can't forget him. So I'm torn inside with longing, wanting to show how much I care about him! declares 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 Put up markers on the road; make signposts for yourselves. You need to be sure you can find the highway, the road you traveled on. Come back, Virgin Israel, come back to your towns.
Podigni znake, nanesi gomile kamenja, zapamti put kojim si išla; vrati se, djevojko Izrailjeva, vrati se u gradove svoje.
22 How long are you going to waver in your decision, you unfaithful daughter? For the Lord has made something new happen here: a woman is going to protect a man.
Dokle æeš lutati, kæeri odmetnice! jer je Gospod uèinio nešto novo na zemlji: žena æe opkoliti èovjeka.
23 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: When I bring them back home from exile, they will say again in the land of Judah and in its towns: “May the Lord bless you, holy mountain of Jerusalem, home of what is good and right.
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 The people of Judah and all its towns will live together in the land, the farmers and those who move around with their flocks,
Jer æe se naseliti u njoj Juda, i svi gradovi njegovi, i ratari i koji idu za stadom.
25 because I'm going to give rest to those who are tired and give strength to all those who are weak.”
Jer æu napojiti umornu dušu, i nasititi svaku klonulu dušu.
26 At this I woke up and looked around. I'd had a very pleasant sleep.
Utom se probudih i pogledah, i san mi bješe sladak.
27 Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make the numbers of people and livestock grow in Israel and Judah.
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu zasijati dom Izrailjev i dom Judin sjemenom èovjeèijim i sjemenom od stoke.
28 I took care of them by uprooting them and tearing them down, by wiping them out and destroying them and bringing them disaster. Now I will take care of them by building them up and helping them grow, declares 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 At that time people won't repeat this proverb, “The fathers ate the unripe grapes, but their children got the sour taste.”
U te dane neæe se više govoriti: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi.
30 No. Each person will die because of their own sins. If anyone eats unripe grapes, they will get the sour taste themselves.
Nego æe svaki za svoj grijeh poginuti; ko god jede kiselo grožðe, tome æe zubi trnuti.
31 Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
Evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem i s domom Judinijem nov zavjet,
32 It won't be like the agreement that I made with their forefathers when I held their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I was faithful like a husband to them, declares 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 is the agreement I'm going to make with the people of Israel at that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws inside them and write them in their minds. I will be their God, and they will 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 No one will need to teach a neighbor or their brother, telling them, “You ought to know the Lord.” For everyone will know me, from the smallest to the greatest. I will forgive them when they do wrong, and I will forget about their sins.
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 This is what the Lord says, who provides the sun to give light during the day, who places in order the moon and stars to give light at night, who makes the sea rough so that its waves roar; his name is the Lord Almighty:
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 Only if I allowed this order to fell apart, declares the Lord, would Israel's descendants stop being my people.
Ako tijeh uredaba nestane ispred mene, govori Gospod, i sjeme æe Izrailjevo prestati biti narod preda mnom navijek.
37 This is what the Lord says: Only if the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth below could be investigated, would I reject all of Israel's descendants because of everything they've done, declares 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 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when this city will be rebuilt for the Lord, all the way from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje æe se sazidati Gospodu ovaj grad od kule Ananeilove do vrata na uglu.
39 The builder's measuring line will again stretch out directly to Gareb Hill and then turn toward Goah.
I još æe dalje otiæi uže mjeraèko do huma Gariva i obrnuæe se na Goat.
40 The entire valley, where the dead are buried and the trash is dumped, and all the fields from the Kidron Valley as far as the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the Lord. Jerusalem will never again be torn down or destroyed.
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.
