Jeremiah 31
1 "At that time," says Jehovah, "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 says Jehovah, "The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Nađe milost u pustinji narod koji uteče maču: Izrael ide u svoje prebivalište.
3 Jehovah appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
Iz daljine mu se Jahve ukaza: Ljubavlju vječnom ljubim te, zato ti sačuvah milost.
4 Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
Opet ću te sazdati, i bit ćeš sazdana, djevice Izraelova. Opet ćeš se resit' bubnjićima, u veselo kolo hvatati.
5 Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.
Opet ćeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarije: koji nasade posade, oni će i trgati.
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion to Jehovah 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 says Jehovah, "Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, 'For Jehovah has saved your 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 'Look, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall 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 shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim 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 the word of Jehovah, you nations, and declare it in the islands afar off; and say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock."
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 Jehovah has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
Jer Jahve oslobodi Jakova, izbavi ga iz ruku jačeg od njega.
12 They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and they shall be radient over the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
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 the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from 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 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness," says Jehovah.
Pretilinom ću im okrijepiti svećenstvo i narod svoj nasititi dobrima” - riječ je Jahvina.
15 Thus says Jehovah: "A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great bitterness, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more."
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 says Jehovah: "Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded," says Jehovah; "and they shall come again 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.
17 There is hope for your latter end," says Jehovah; "and your children shall come again to their own border.
Ima nade za tvoje potomstvo - riječ je Jahvina - sinovi tvoji vratit će se u svoj kraj.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are Jehovah 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 was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore 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 my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him," says Jehovah.
“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 road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your 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 will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man."
Dokle ćeš još oklijevati, kćeri odmetnice? Jer Jahve stvori nešto novo na zemlji: Žena će okružiti Muža.”
23 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, "Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity: 'Jehovah bless 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 Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
“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 every sorrowful soul have I replenished."
jer ja ću okrijepiti dušu iscrpljenu, obilno nahraniti dušu klonulu.
26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Kao ono: 'Čim se probudih, pogledah: sladak li bijaše sanak moj!'”
27 "Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću u domu Izraelovu i u domu Judinu posijati sjeme čovječje i sjeme životinjsko.
28 It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant," says Jehovah.
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 shall say no more, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'
U one dane neće se više govoriti: 'Oci jedoše kiselo grožđe, a sinovima zubi trnu.'
30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Nego će svatko umrijeti zbog vlastite krivice. I onomu koji bude jeo kiselo grožđe zubi će trnuti.”
31 Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "when I will make 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 according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, and I disregarded them," says Jehovah.
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 is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says Jehovah: "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be 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 every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know Jehovah'; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember 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 says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Jehovah 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 this fixed order departs from before me," says Jehovah, "then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever."
“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 says Jehovah: "If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the descendants of Israel for all that they have done," says Jehovah.
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 "Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će grad Jahvin biti opet sazidan, od Kule Hananelove do Vrata ugaonih.
39 The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
I još će se dalje protegnuti mjerničko uže, pravo do brežuljka Gareba, a onda okrenuti prema Goi.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to Jehovah; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever."
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.”
