Jeremiah 3
1 “Saying, Behold, one sends his wife away, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he return to her again? Is that land not greatly defiled? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn to Me again,” A declaration of YHWH.
“Ako muž otpusti ženu svoju i ona ide od njega te se uda za drugoga, ima li još pravo da se vrati njemu? Nije li ta žena sasvim oskvrnuta? A ti si bludničila s mnogim milosnicima, pa da se meni vratiš?” - riječ je Jahvina.
2 “Lift your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them on the ways, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by your wickedness.
Podigni oči na goleti i pogledaj: gdje te to nisu oskvrnuli? Na putovima si ih dočekivala kao Arapin u pustinji. Ti si oskvrnula zemlju bludom i opačinom svojom,
3 And showers are withheld, and there has been no spring rain. You have the forehead of a whorish woman, You have refused to be ashamed.
zato i kiše prestadoše i kasni daždevi ne padoše. Čelo ti je kao u bludnice: ni zacrvenjela se nisi.
4 Have you not from now on called to Me, My Father, You [are] the leader of my youth?
Ne dovikuješ li mi sada: 'Oče moj, ti si prijatelj mladosti moje!
5 Does He keep for all time? Watch forever? Behold, you have spoken these things, And you do evil, and prevail.”
Hoće li zauvijek plamtjeti, vječno tinjati gnjev tvoj?' Tako govoriš, a činiš i dalje zla koliko god možeš.”
6 And YHWH says to me, in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and to the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there.
Jahve mi reče u dane kralja Jošije: “Vidje li što učini odmetnica Izrael? Ona odlazi na svaku visoku goru i pod svako zeleno stablo i ondje se podaje bludu.
7 And I say, after her doing all these, Return to Me, and she has not returned, and her treacherous sister Judah sees it.
A ja mišljah: 'Poslije svega što učini vratit će se k meni.' Ali se ona ne vraća. I to vidje sestra njena, nevjernica Judeja.
8 And I see that for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce to her; and her treacherous sister Judah has not feared, and goes and commits fornication—she also.
A vidje i kako otpustih odmetnicu Izraela zbog svih preljuba i dadoh joj knjigu otpusnu. Ali sestra joj, nevjernica Judeja, nimalo se ne poboja, pa i ona okrenu u blud.
9 And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.
I svojim lakoumnim bludom obeščasti zemlju; činila je preljub s kamenjem i drvljem.
10 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but with falsehood,” a declaration of YHWH.
I nakon svega toga nije se vratila k meni nevjernica sestra njezina, Judeja, svim srcem svojim, već samo prijetvorno” - riječ je Jahvina.
11 And YHWH says to me: “Backsliding Israel has justified herself, More than treacherous Judah.
I reče mi Jahve: “Odmetnica Izrael pravednija je od Judeje nevjernice.
12 Go, and you have proclaimed these words toward the north, and have said, Return, O backsliding Israel,” A declaration of YHWH! “I do not cause My anger to fall on you, for I [am] kind,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not watch for all time.
Idi i viči prema Sjeveru ove riječi. Reci: Vrati se, odmetnice, Izraele, riječ je Jahvina. Ne gnjevi se više lice moje na vas, jer sam milostiv - riječ je Jahvina - neću se gnjeviti dovijeka.
13 Only, know your iniquity, For you have transgressed against your God YHWH, And you scatter your ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And you have not listened to My voice,” A declaration of YHWH.
Samo priznaj svoju krivnju da si se odvrgla od Jahve, Boga svojega, i odlutala k tuđincima, pod svako drvo zeleno i nisi slušala glasa mojega - riječ je Jahvina.
14 “Return, O backsliding sons,” A declaration of YHWH. “For I have ruled over you, And taken you—one from a city, and two from a family, And have brought you to Zion,
Vratite se, sinovi odmetnici - riječ je Jahvina - jer ja sam vaš Gospodar. Uzet ću vas, po jednoga iz svakoga grada, po dvojicu od svakoga roda, da vas odvedem na Sion.
15 And I have given shepherds to you According to My own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
I dat ću vam pastire po srcu svojemu koji će vas pasti razumno i mudro.
16 And it has come to pass, when you are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “They no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, Nor does it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
A kad se u one dane namnožite i narodite u zemlji - riječ je Jahvina - više se neće govoriti: 'Kovčeg Jahvina Saveza' i nitko neće na nj misliti, nitko ga se neće sjećati ni za njim čeznuti, niti ga ponovo graditi.
17 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, O throne of YHWH, And all the nations have been gathered to her, For the Name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go after the stubbornness of their evil heart anymore.
U to će se vrijeme Jeruzalem zvati 'Prijestolje Gospodnje'; i svi će se narodi u njemu sabrati u ime Jahvino, i nijedan se više neće tvrdoglavo povoditi za pokvarenim srcem svojim.
18 In those days the house of Judah Goes to the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, To the land that I caused your fathers to inherit.
U one dane slagat će se dom Judin s domom Izraelovim; i zajedno će krenuti iz Zemlje sjeverne u zemlju koju ocima vašim dadoh u baštinu.”
19 And I have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give a desirable land to you, A beautiful inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, You call Me—My Father, And you do not turn back from after Me.
A ja rekoh: “Kako da te ubrojim među sinove i dam ti zemlju slasti, baštinu, najljepši biser među narodima! Pomislih: Ti ćeš me zvati 'Oče moj!' i nećeš se više odvratiti od mene.”
20 But a woman has deceived her friend, So you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH.
“Ali kao što se žena iznevjeri mužu svome, tako se i vi iznevjeriste meni, dome Izraelov” - riječ je Jahvina.
21 A voice is heard on high places—weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made their way perverse, They have forgotten their God YHWH.
Čuj! Po goletima plač se čuje, zapomaganje djece Izraelove, jer skrenuše s puta svojega. Jahvu, Boga svoga, zaboraviše.
22 “Return, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease.” “Behold us, we have come to You, For You [are] our God YHWH.
- Vratite se, sinovi, što se odvratiste, izliječit ću odmetništva vaša! - Evo nas, dolazimo k tebi, jer ti si Jahve, Bog naš!
23 Surely in vain—from the heights, The multitude of mountains—Surely the salvation of Israel [is] in our God YHWH.
Doista, prijevarni su visovi, graja po brdima. Odista, u Jahvi, Bogu našemu, spasenje je Izraelovo!
24 And the shameful thing has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
Baal je proždro trud naših otaca još od mladosti naše: ovce njihove i goveda, nihove kćeri i sinove.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our confusion covers us, For we have sinned against our God YHWH, We, and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, Nor have we listened to the voice of our God YHWH!”
Lezimo u sramotu svoju, nek' nas pokrije ruglo naše! Jer Jahvi, Bogu svome, sagriješismo mi i oci naši, od mladosti svoje do dana današnjeg, i ne slušamo glasa Jahve, Boga svojega.
