Jeremiah 19
1 This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go and buy a clay jar from a man who makes them. Then take with you some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests.
Ovako reèe Gospod: idi i kupi krèag zemljan u lonèara s nekoliko starješina narodnijeh i starješina sveštenièkih.
2 Go out [of the city] past the Gate of Broken Pots, to the place [overlooking the dump for broken pottery in] the Ben-Hinnom Valley. Then give them a message.
I otidi u dolinu sina Enomova što je pred vratima istoènijem, i ondje proglasi rijeèi koje æu ti kazati.
3 Say to them, ‘[This message is for] you kings of Judah and [other] people of Jerusalem. Listen to what Yahweh is saying! The Commander of the armies of angels says that he will cause there to be a terrible disaster in [Jerusalem]. Those who hear about it will be stunned/shocked [IDM].
I reci: èujte rijeè Gospodnju, carevi Judini i stanovnici Jerusalimski; ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pustiti zlo na to mjesto da æe zujati uši svakome ko ga èuje.
4 [That will happen] because [you Israeli] people have stopped worshiping me, and have caused this place to be a place where [you worship] foreign gods. You burn sacrifices to gods that neither you nor your ancestors nor [even] the kings of Judah ever heard about. And you have filled this place with the blood of innocent people [whom you have killed].
Jer me ostaviše i oskvrniše ovo mjesto kadeæi na njemu drugim bogovima, kojih ne znaše ni oni ni oci njihovi, ni carevi Judini, i napuniše to mjesto krvi prave.
5 You have built shrines to honor [your god] Baal, and at those shrines you have [killed] your own children and offered them to be sacrifices to Baal. I never commanded you to do that, I never spoke about doing that, I never even thought about anyone doing that.
I pogradiše visine Valu da sažižu sinove svoje ognjem na žrtve paljenice Valu, èega ne zapovjedih niti o tom govorih, niti mi na um doðe.
6 So, beware, [because I, ] Yahweh, say that there will be a time when this garbage dump will no longer be called Topheth or Ben-Hinnom Valley; it will be called Slaughter Valley.
Zato, evo, ide vrijeme, veli Gospod, kad se ovo mjesto neæe više zvati Tofet, ni dolina sina Enomova, nego krvna dolina.
7 In this place I will ruin the plans of [you people who live in] Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah. I will allow your enemies who want to kill you to kill [many of] you with their swords. [Then] I will allow your corpses to remain on the ground to be food for vultures and wild animals.
Jer æu uništiti savjet Judin i Jerusalimski na ovom mjestu, i uèiniæu da padnu od maèa pred neprijateljima svojim i od ruke onijeh koji traže dušu njihovu, i mrtva æu tjelesa njihova dati za hranu pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
8 I will [completely destroy] Jerusalem and cause it to become a heap of ruins that people will despise. All the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will be shocked when they see that the city has been destroyed.
I obratiæu taj grad u pustoš i rug: ko god proðe mimo nj, èudiæe se i zviždaæe za sve muke njegove.
9 I will enable your enemies who want to kill you to surround the city for a long time. [Then the food will be all gone, and you people will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you people in the city will eat the flesh of your own children and your neighbors’ children.’
I uèiniæu da jedu meso od svojih sinova i meso od svojih kæeri, i svaki æe jesti meso od druga svojega u nevolji i tjeskobi kojom æe im dosaðivati neprijatelji njihovi i koji traže dušu njihovu.
10 [Jeremiah, after you tell that to them], while the people who are with you are watching, smash the jar [that you brought].
Potom razbij krèag pred ljudima koji æe iæi s tobom.
11 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Just like this jar has been smashed and cannot be repaired, I will smash this city of Jerusalem and other places in Judah. You will bury some of your corpses here in this dump, until there is no more space to bury any more corpses.
I reci im: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: tako æu razbiti taj narod i taj grad kao što se razbije sud lonèarski, koji se ne može više opraviti, i u Tofetu æe se pogrebavati, jer neæe biti mjesta za pogrebavanje.
12 That is what I will do to this city and to you people who live here. I will cause this city to be desecrated, like [King Josiah caused Topheth to be] a place that was unfit for people to worship me there.
Tako æu uèiniti tome mjestu, veli Gospod, i stanovnicima njegovijem i uèiniæu taj grad da bude kao Tofet;
13 The houses in Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will be desecrated like this place will be. All the houses where you burned incense on the rooftops to honor the stars [that you worshiped], and where you poured out wine [to be an offering] to your gods, will become (desecrated/unacceptable places for people to worship me).”’”
I kuæe Jerusalimske i kuæe careva Judinijeh biæe neèiste kao mjesto Tofet, sve kuæe, gdje na krovovima kadiše svoj vojsci nebeskoj i ljevaše naljeve drugim bogovima.
14 Then I returned from the garbage dump where Yahweh had sent me to tell them that message. Then I stood in the courtyard of Yahweh’s temple and said this to all the people [who were there]:
Potom se vrati Jeremija iz Tofeta kuda ga bješe poslao Gospod da prorokuje, i stade u trijemu doma Gospodnjega, i reèe svemu narodu:
15 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘I will cause there to be a disaster in this city and in the villages around it like I promised, because you people have stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said to you.’”
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pustiti na taj grad i na sve gradove njegove sve zlo koje izrekoh za nj, jer otvrdnuše vratom svojim da ne slušaju rijeèi mojih.
