Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time,” a declaration of YHWH, “I am the God of all families of Israel, And they are My people.”
“U ono vrijeme - riječ je Jahvina - bit ću Bog svim plemenima Izraelovim i oni će biti narod moj.”
2 Thus said YHWH: “A people remaining from the sword Have found grace in the wilderness When Israel went to find rest.”
Ovako govori Jahve: “Nađe milost u pustinji narod koji uteče maču: Izrael ide u svoje prebivalište.
3 YHWH has appeared to me from afar, “I have loved you with perpetual love, Therefore I have drawn you [with] kindness.
Iz daljine mu se Jahve ukaza: Ljubavlju vječnom ljubim te, zato ti sačuvah milost.
4 I build you again, And you have been built, O virgin of Israel, You put on your tambourines again, And have gone out in the chorus of the playful.
Opet ću te sazdati, i bit ćeš sazdana, djevice Izraelova. Opet ćeš se resit' bubnjićima, u veselo kolo hvatati.
5 You plant vineyards in mountains of Samaria again, Planters have planted, and made common.
Opet ćeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarije: koji nasade posade, oni će i trgati.
6 For there is a day, Watchmen have cried on Mount Ephraim, Rise, and we go up to Zion, to our God YHWH”;
Jer dolazi dan te će stražari vikati na brdu efrajimskom: 'Na noge! Na Sion se popnimo, k Jahvi, Bogu svojemu!'”
7 For thus said YHWH: “Sing [with] joy for Jacob, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound, praise, and say, Save, O YHWH, Your people, the remnant of Israel.

8 Behold, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Blind and lame [are] among them, Conceiving and travailing one—together, A great assembly—they return here.
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 come in with weeping, And I bring them with supplications, I cause them to go to streams of waters, In a right way—they do not stumble in it, For I have been a Father to Israel, And Ephraim—he [is] My firstborn.”
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 Hear a word of YHWH, O nations, And declare among the far off in the islands, and say: He who is scattering Israel gathers him, And has kept His flock as a shepherd,
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 YHWH has ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
Jer Jahve oslobodi Jakova, izbavi ga iz ruku jačeg od njega.
12 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed to the goodness of YHWH, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul has been as a watered garden, And they do not add to grieve anymore.
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 a virgin rejoices in a chorus, Both young men and old men—together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
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 satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people are satisfied with My goodness,” A declaration of YHWH.
Pretilinom ću im okrijepiti svećenstvo i narod svoj nasititi dobrima” - riječ je Jahvina.
15 Thus said YHWH: “A voice is heard in Ramah, Wailing [and] the weeping of bitterness, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She has refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are 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 said YHWH: “Withhold your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, For there is a reward for your work,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Prestani kukati, otari suze u očima! Patnje će tvoje biti nagrađene: oni će se vratiti iz zemlje neprijateljske.

18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, You have disciplined me, And I am disciplined, as a heifer [that is] not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For You [are] my God YHWH.

19 For after my turning back I regretted, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach 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 a precious son to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I still thoroughly remember him, Therefore My bowels have been moved for him, I love him greatly,” A declaration of YHWH.
“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 up signs for yourself, Make heaps for yourself, Set your heart to the highway, the way you went, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back to these cities of yours.
“Postavi putokaze, podigni stupove! Sjeti se ceste, puta kojim si prošla. I vrati se, djevice Izraelova, vrati se u gradove svoje!
22 Until when do you withdraw yourself, O backsliding daughter? For YHWH has prepared a new thing in the land, Woman surrounds man.”
Dokle ćeš još oklijevati, kćeri odmetnice? Jer Jahve stvori nešto novo na zemlji: Žena će okružiti Muža.”
23 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, YHWH blesses you, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
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 farmers have dwelt in Judah, And in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
“I u njoj će se opet nastaniti Judeja sa svim svojim gradovima, ratari i oni što idu za stadima,
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, And I have filled every grieved soul.”
jer ja ću okrijepiti dušu iscrpljenu, obilno nahraniti dušu klonulu.
26 On this I have awoken, and I behold, and my sleep has been sweet to me.
Kao ono: 'Čim se probudih, pogledah: sladak li bijaše sanak moj!'”
27 “Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man and seed 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 it has been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So I watch over them to build, and to plant,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 days they no longer say: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons’ teeth are blunted.
U one dane neće se više govoriti: 'Oci jedoše kiselo grožđe, a sinovima zubi trnu.'
30 But—each dies for his own iniquity, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, His teeth are blunted.
Nego će svatko umrijeti zbog vlastite krivice. I onomu koji bude jeo kiselo grožđe zubi će trnuti.”
31 Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have made a new covenant With the house of Israel And with the house of Judah,
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim sklopiti Novi savez.
32 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made My covenant void, And I ruled over them,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 “For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have given My law in their inward part, And I write it on their heart, And I have been their God, And they are 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 do not teach anymore Each his neighbor, and each his brother, Saying, Know YHWH, For they all know Me, from their least to their greatest,” A declaration of YHWH; “For I pardon their iniquity, And I make no more mention of their sin.”
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 said YHWH, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name:
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 statutes depart from before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “Even the seed of Israel ceases From being a nation before Me [for] all the days.”
“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 said YHWH: “If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of earth searched below, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done,” A declaration of YHWH.
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, days [are coming],” A declaration of YHWH, “And the city has been built for YHWH, From the Tower of Hananeel to the Corner Gate.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će grad Jahvin biti opet sazidan, od Kule Hananelove do Vrata ugaonih.
39 And the measuring line has gone out again before it, over the height of Gareb, And it has gone around to Goah.
I još će se dalje protegnuti mjerničko uže, pravo do brežuljka Gareba, a onda okrenuti prema Goi.
40 And all the valley of the carcasses and of the ashes, And all the fields to the Brook of Kidron, To the corner of the Horse Gate eastward, [Are] holy to YHWH, It is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down anymore for all time!”
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.”
