Jeremiah 31
1 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
“U ono vrijeme - riječ je Jahvina - bit ću Bog svim plemenima Izraelovim i oni će biti narod moj.”
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which escaped the sworde, founde grace in the wildernes: he walked before Israel to cause him to rest.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Nađe milost u pustinji narod koji uteče maču: Izrael ide u svoje prebivalište.
3 The Lord hath appeared vnto me of old, say they: Yea, I haue loued thee with an euerlasting loue, therefore with mercie I haue drawen thee.
Iz daljine mu se Jahve ukaza: Ljubavlju vječnom ljubim te, zato ti sačuvah milost.
4 Againe I will builde thee, and thou shalt be builded, O virgine Israel: thou shalt stil be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt goe foorth in the dance of them that be ioyfull.
Opet ću te sazdati, i bit ćeš sazdana, djevice Izraelova. Opet ćeš se resit' bubnjićima, u veselo kolo hvatati.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines vpon the mountaines of Samaria, and the planters that plant them, shall make them common.
Opet ćeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarije: koji nasade posade, oni će i trgati.
6 For the dayes shall come that the watchmen vpon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let vs go vp vnto Zion to the Lord our God.
Jer dolazi dan te će stražari vikati na brdu efrajimskom: 'Na noge! Na Sion se popnimo, k Jahvi, Bogu svojemu!'”
7 For thus saith the Lord, Reioyce with gladnesse for Iaakob, and shoute for ioye among the chiefe of the Gentiles: publish praise, and say, O Lord, saue thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Kličite od radosti Jakovu, pozdravite burno prvaka naroda! Neka se ori vaš glas! Objavite slavopojkom: Jahve spasi narod svoj, Ostatak Izraelov!
8 Beholde, I will bring them from the North countrey, and gather them from the coastes of the world, with the blinde and the lame among them, with the woman with childe, and her that is deliuered also: a great companie shall returne hither.
Evo, ja ih vodim iz zemlje sjeverne, skupljam ih s krajeva zemlje: s njima su slijepi i hromi, trudnice i rodilje: vraća se velika zajednica.
9 They shall come weeping, and with mercie will I bring them againe: I will lead them by the riuers of water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first borne.
Evo, u suzama pođoše, utješene sad ih vraćam! Vodit ću ih kraj potočnih voda, putem ravnim kojim neće posrnuti, jer ja sam otac Izraelu, Efrajim je moj prvenac.”
10 Heare the worde of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the yles afarre off, and say, Hee that scattered Israel, wil gather him and wil keepe him, as a shepheard doeth his flocke.
Čujte, o narodi, riječ Jahvinu, objavite je širom dalekih otoka: “Onaj što rasprši Izraela, opet ga sabire i čuva ga k'o pastir stado svoje!”
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob, and ransomed him from the hande of him, that was stronger then he.
Jer Jahve oslobodi Jakova, izbavi ga iz ruku jačeg od njega.
12 Therefore they shall come, and reioyce in the height of Zion, and shall runne to the bountifulnes of the Lord, euen for the wheat and for the wine, and for the oyle, and for the increase of sheepe, and bullocks: and their soule shalbe as a watered garden, and they shall haue no more sorow.
I oni će, radosno kličući, na vis sionski da se naužiju dobara Jahvinih: žita, ulja, mladog vina, jagnjadi i teladi, duša će im biti kao vrt navodnjen, nikad više neće ginuti.
13 Then shall ye virgine reioyce in the dance, and the yong men and the old men together: for I wil turne their mourning into ioy, and wil comfort them, and giue them ioy for their sorowes.
Djevojke će se veselit' u kolu, mlado i staro zajedno, jer ću im tugu u radost pretvoriti, utješit ću ih i razveselit' nakon žalosti.
14 And I wil replenish the soule of the Priests with fatnesse, and my people shalbe satisfied with my goodnesse, saith the Lord.
Pretilinom ću im okrijepiti svećenstvo i narod svoj nasititi dobrima” - riječ je Jahvina.
15 Thus saith the Lord, A voyce was heard on hie, a mourning and bitter weeping. Rahel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Čuj! U Rami se kukanje čuje i gorak plač: Rahela oplakuje sinove svoje, i neće da se utješi za djecom, jer njih više nema.”
16 Thus saith the Lord, Refraine thy voyce from weeping, and thine eyes from teares: for thy worke shalbe rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come againe from the land of the enemie:
Ovako govori Jahve: “Prestani kukati, otari suze u očima! Patnje će tvoje biti nagrađene: oni će se vratiti iz zemlje neprijateljske.
17 And there is hope in thine ende, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come againe to their owne borders.
Ima nade za tvoje potomstvo - riječ je Jahvina - sinovi tvoji vratit će se u svoj kraj.
18 I haue heard Ephraim lamenting thus, Thou hast corrected me, and I was chastised as an vntamed calfe: conuert thou me, and I shalbe conuerted: for thou art the Lord my God.
Dobro čujem Efrajimov jecaj: 'Ti me pokara, i ja se popravih kao june još neukroćeno. Obrati me, da se obratim, jer ti si, Jahve, Bog moj.
19 Surely after that I conuerted, I repented: and after that I was instructed, I smote vpon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, euen confounded, because I did beare the reproch of my youth.
Odvratih se od tebe, ali se pokajah, uvijek, i sad se u slabine tučem. Stidim se i crvenim, jer nosim sramotu mladosti svoje!'”
20 Is Ephraim my deare sonne or pleasant childe? yet since I spake vnto him, I still remembred him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I wil surely haue compassion vpon him, saith the Lord.
“Zar mi je Efrajim sin toliko drag, dijete najmilije? Jer koliko god mu prijetim, bez prestanka živo na njega mislim i srce mi dršće za njega od nježne samilosti” - riječ je Jahvina.
21 Set thee vp signes: make thee heapes: set thine heart towarde the path and way, that thou hast walked: turne againe, O virgine of Israel: turne againe to these thy cities.
“Postavi putokaze, podigni stupove! Sjeti se ceste, puta kojim si prošla. I vrati se, djevice Izraelova, vrati se u gradove svoje!
22 How long wilt thou goe astray, O thou rebellious daughter? for the Lord hath created a newe thing in the earth: A WOMAN shall compasse a man.
Dokle ćeš još oklijevati, kćeri odmetnice? Jer Jahve stvori nešto novo na zemlji: Žena će okružiti Muža.”
23 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Yet shall they say this thing in the land of Iudah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring againe their captiuitie, The Lord blesse thee, O habitation of iustice and holy mountaine.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “U zemlji Judinoj, kad promijenim njezinu sudbinu, u njezinim će se gradovima ovako govoriti: 'Blagoslovio te Jahve, prebivalište Pravednosti, Goro sveta!'”
24 And Iudah shall dwell in it, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen and they that goe foorth with the flocke.
“I u njoj će se opet nastaniti Judeja sa svim svojim gradovima, ratari i oni što idu za stadima,
25 For I haue saciate the wearie soule, and I haue replenished euery sorowfull soule.
jer ja ću okrijepiti dušu iscrpljenu, obilno nahraniti dušu klonulu.
26 Therefore I awaked and behelde, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me.
Kao ono: 'Čim se probudih, pogledah: sladak li bijaše sanak moj!'”
27 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will sowe the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah with the seede of man and with the seede of beast.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću u domu Izraelovu i u domu Judinu posijati sjeme čovječje i sjeme životinjsko.
28 And like as I haue watched vpon them, to plucke vp and to roote out, and to throw downe, and to destroy, and to plague them, so wil I watch ouer them, to build and to plant them, saith ye Lord.
I kao što sam nekoć bdio da ih iščupam, razvalim, istrijebim, zatrem i nesreću na njih svalim, tako ću sada brižno bdjeti da ih podignem i posadim.
29 In those dayes shall they say no more, The fathers haue eaten a sowre grape, and the childrens teeth are set on edge.
U one dane neće se više govoriti: 'Oci jedoše kiselo grožđe, a sinovima zubi trnu.'
30 But euery one shall die for his owne iniquitie: euery man that eateth the sowre grape, his teeth shalbe set on edge.
Nego će svatko umrijeti zbog vlastite krivice. I onomu koji bude jeo kiselo grožđe zubi će trnuti.”
31 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new couenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iudah,
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim sklopiti Novi savez.
32 Not according to ye couenant that I made with their fathers, when I tooke them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my couenant they brake, although I was an husband vnto them, saith the Lord.
Ne Savez kakav sam sklopio s ocima njihovim u dan kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske, Savez što ga oni razvrgoše premda sam ja gospodar njihov - riječ je Jahvina.
33 But this shall be the couenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawe in their inward partes, and write it in their hearts, and wil be their God, and they shalbe my people.
Nego, ovo je Savez što ću ga sklopiti s domom Izraelovim poslije onih dana - riječ je Jahvina: Zakon ću svoj staviti u dušu njihovu i upisati ga u njihovo srce. I bit ću Bog njihov, a oni narod moj.
34 And they shall teach no more euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them vnto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I wil forgiue their iniquitie, and will remember their sinnes no more.
I neće više učiti drug druga ni brat brata govoreći: 'Spoznajte Jahvu!' nego će me svi poznavati, i malo i veliko - riječ je Jahvina - jer ću oprostiti bezakonje njihovo i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.”
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giueth the sunne for a light to the day, and the courses of the moone and of the starres for a light to the night, which breaketh the sea, when the waues thereof roare: his Name is the Lord of hostes.
Ovako govori Jahve, koji daje da sunce sjaje danju, a mjesec i zvijezde da svijetle noću, koji burka more da mu valovi buče - ime mu je Jahve nad Vojskama:
36 If these ordinances depart out of my sight, saith the Lord, then shall the seede of Israel cease from being a nation before me, for euer.
“Ako se ikad ti zakoni poremete preda mnom - riječ je Jahvina - onda će i potomstvo Izraelovo prestati da bude narod pred licem mojim zauvijek!
37 Thus saith the Lord, If the heauens can be measured, or the fundations of the earth be searched out beneath, then wil I cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they haue done, saith the Lord.
Ako se mogu izmjeriti nebesa gore, i dolje istražiti temelji zemlje, onda ću i ja odbaciti potomstvo Izraelovo zbog svega što počiniše” - riječ je Jahvina.
38 Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the citie shalbe built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel, vnto the gate of the corner.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će grad Jahvin biti opet sazidan, od Kule Hananelove do Vrata ugaonih.
39 And the line of the measure shall go foorth in his presence vpon the hil Gareb, and shall compasse about to Goath.
I još će se dalje protegnuti mjerničko uže, pravo do brežuljka Gareba, a onda okrenuti prema Goi.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields vnto the brooke of Kidron, and vnto the corner of the horsegate toward the East, shalbe holy vnto the Lord, neither shall it be plucked vp nor destroyed any more for euer.
I sva dolina trupla i pepela, i sva polja do potoka Kidrona, do ugla Konjskih vrata na istoku, bit će svetinja Jahvina. I neće više biti razaranja ni prokletstva.”
