Jeremiah 7
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Ovo je riječ što dođe Jeremiji od Gospodina:
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
“Stani pred vrata Doma Jahvina, objavi ondje ovu riječ. Reci: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, svi Judejci koji ulazite na ova vrata da se poklonite Jahvi.
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa ću boraviti s vama na ovome mjestu.
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
Ne uzdajte se u lažne riječi: 'Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino!'
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Ali ako zaista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja i ako zaista budete činili što je pravo, svatko prema bližnjemu svome,
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
ako ne budete tlačili stranca, sirote i udovice i ne budete prolijevali krvi nedužne na ovome mjestu, ako ne budete trčali za tuđim bogovima na svoju nesreću -
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
boravit ću s vama na ovome mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao vašim ocima zauvijek.
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Ali se vi uzdate u lažne i beskorisne riječi!
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
Zar da kradete, ubijate, činite preljub, krivo se zaklinjete, palite tamjan Baalu i trčite za tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznajete,
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
a onda da dolazite i stojite preda mnom u Domu ovome koji nosi moje ime i govorite: 'Spašeni smo!' i da nakon toga opet činite nedjela i opačine?
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
Zar je Dom ovaj, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim očima pećina razbojnička? Ali ja dobro vidim” - riječ je Jahvina.
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
“Pođite, dakle, na moje mjesto koje je u Šilu, gdje nekoć nastanih ime svoje, i pogledajte što od njega učinih zbog opačina naroda svoga izraelskoga.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
Kako činite sva ona ista nedjela - riječ je Jahvina - i premda vas neumorno opominjem, vi ne slušate, a kad vas zovem, vi se ne odazivate:
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
od ovoga Doma što se zove mojim imenom, u koje se vi uzdate, i od ovoga mjesta što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim učinit ću isto što sam učinio i od Šila.
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Odbacit ću vas od lica svojega kao što odbacih svu braću vašu, sve potomstvo Efrajimovo.”
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
“A ti ne moli milosti za narod ovaj, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, ne navaljuj na me jer te neću uslišiti.
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Ne vidiš li što čine po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Djeca kupe drva, oci pale vatru, žene mijese tijesto da ispeku kolače 'kraljici neba' i lijevaju ljevanice tuđim bogovima da me pogrde.
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
Zar mene tim pogrđuju - riječ je Jahvina - a ne sebe na svoju sramotu?”
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
I stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo, gnjev svoj i jarost svoju izlit ću na ovo mjesto, na ljude i na stoku, na poljsko drveće i na plodove zemlje, rasplamtjet će se i neće se ugasiti.”
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Paljenicama dometnite još i klanice, i jedite meso.
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Ja ništa ne rekoh ocima vašim o paljenicama i klanicama, niti im što o tom zapovjedih kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske.
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
Ovo im ja zapovjedih: 'Slušajte glas moj, pa ću ja biti vaš Bog, a vi ćete biti moj narod. Idite putem kojim vam zapovjedih, da vam dobro bude.'
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
A oni ne poslušaše, uho svoje ne prignuše, već pođoše po savjetu i okorjelosti zloga srca svojega; okrenuše mi leđa, a ne lice.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
Od dana kad oci vaši iziđoše iz zemlje egipatske pa do dana današnjeg slao sam vam tolike sluge svoje, proroke, iz dana u dan, neumorno.
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
Ali me oni nisu slušali, uho svoje nisu prignuli, nego otvrdnuše, gori od otaca svojih.
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
Možeš im sve to reći, ali te neće poslušati; zovi ih, neće ti se odazvati.
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
Zato im reci: 'Ovo je narod koji ne sluša glasa Jahve, Boga svojega, i ne prima opomenÄe. Nestade istine, nestade je iz usta njihovih.'”
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
Ostriži svoju dugu kosu, baci je. Po goletima protuži tužaljkom, jer Jahve odbaci i odvrgnu rod na koji se razgnjevio.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
“Da, sinovi Judini čine što je zlo u očima mojim” - riječ je Jahvina. “Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom, da ga oskvrnu;
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
podigoše uzvišice tofetske u Dolini Ben Hinomu i spaljuju vatrom svoje sinove i kćeri - što im ja nikad ne zapovjedih niti mi to ikada na um pade.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
Stoga evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće reći Tofet ni Dolina Ben Hinom, nego Dolina klanja. U Tofetu će se pokapati mrtvi, jer drugdje neće biti mjesta.
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
A mrtva tijela ovoga naroda bit će hrana pticama nebeskim i zvjeradi zemaljskoj, i nitko se neće naći da ih poplaši i otjera.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
Uklonit ću iz gradova judejskih i s ulica jeruzalemskih radost i veselje: jer će se zemlja ta pretvoriti u pustinju.”
