Jeremiah 32
1 After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji desete godine Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, to jest osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove.
2 His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.
U to vrijeme vojska kralja babilonskoga opsjedaše Jeruzalem, a prorok Jeremija bijaše zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu u dvoru judejskoga kralja.
3 King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
Sidkija, kralj judejski, bijaše ga ondje zatvorio, prigovoriv mu: “Zašto si prorokovao: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Gle, grad ću ovaj predati u ruke kralju babilonskom da ga osvoji;
4 And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.
a Sidkija, kralj judejski, neće umaći sili kaldejskoj, nego će biti predan u ruke kralja babilonskoga - usta u usta s njim će govoriti, oči u oči njega vidjeti.
5 Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
Sidkiju će odvesti u Babilon i ondje će ostati dok ga ne pohodim - riječ je Jahvina! I ako se budete borili protiv Kaldejaca, nećete uspjeti!'”
6 [At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Tada reče Jeremija: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
7 “[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
'Uskoro će doći k tebi Hanamel, sin tvoga strica Šaluma, da ti kaže: Kupi njivu moju u Anatotu; ti imaš rodbinsko pravo da je kupiš!'
8 And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
Kako je Jahve navijestio, k meni dođe moj stričević Hanamel u tamničko dvorište i reče mi: 'De kupi moju njivu u Anatotu, jer ti imaš pravo na posjed i rodbinsko pravo da je kupiš! Kupi je!' I tada spoznah da to bijaše riječ Jahvina.
9 [So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
Kupih, dakle, tu njivu od stričevića Hanamela iz Anatota te mu izmjerih u novcu sedamnaest šekela srebra.
10 I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
Napišem ugovor, udarim pečat, pozovem svjedoke i izmjerim novac na tezulji.
11 Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
Zatim uzmem kupovni ugovor, zapečaćen prema propisu i uredbama,
12 and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
predam kupovni ugovor Baruhu, sinu Mahsejeva sina Nerije. Nazočni su bili: moj stričević Hanamel, svjedoci što su potpisali kupovni ugovor i svi Judejci koji su se našli u tamničkom dvorištu.
13 [Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
Tada pred njima zapovjedim Baruhu:
14 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Uzmi ove isprave, ovaj kupovni ugovor, zapečaćeni i otvoreni, i stavi ih u glinenu posudu da se zadugo sačuvaju.
15 [Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Još će se u ovoj zemlji kupovati i kuće, i njive, i vinogradi!'”
16 After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
Pošto kupovni ugovor predadoh Nerijinu sinu Baruhu, pomolih se Jahvi:
17 “Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].
“O, Jahve, Gospode! Ti stvori nebo i zemlju snagom velikom, rukom uzdignutom! Ništa tebi nije nemoguće!
18 You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
Tisućama iskazuješ milost, a krivnju otaca osvećuješ na djeci, potomcima njihovim. Bože veliki i moćni, kome je ime Jahve nad Vojskama!
19 You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.
Velik si u svojim naumima, silan u svojim djelima! Oči tvoje bde nad svim putovima ljudskim da naplatiš svakome prema putu njegovu i prema plodu djela njegovih!
20 You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).
Ti koji si činio znamenja i čudesa u zemlji egipatskoj i u Izraelu, i među svim ljudima sve do danas,
21 You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.
ti si izveo svoj narod izraelski iz zemlje egipatske znamenjima i čudesima, rukom moćnom i mišicom podignutom, strahotama velikim.
22 You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
Zatim im dade svu ovu zemlju koju si zakletvom obećao ocima njihovim, zemlju u kojoj teče med i mlijeko.
23 Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.
I oni je zaposjedoše; ali nisu slušali glasa tvojega niti su hodili putem Zakona tvojega. Ništa ne učiniše od onog što im ti naredi; zato si dozvao na njih sve ove nevolje.
24 And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
Gle, nasipi se već primakoše gradu, i bit će osvojen, i grad će pasti u ruke Kaldejcima koji na nj navaljuju mačem, glađu i kugom. Čime si prijetio, evo dolazi. I sam vidiš.
25 [And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
A ti mi, Jahve Gospode moj, reče: 'Kupi novcem njivu i pozovi svjedoke', a grad je već predan u ruke Kaldejcima!”
26 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:
27 “I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
“Gle, ja sam Jahve, Bog svakoga tijela! Meni ništa nije nemoguće!
28 So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.
Zato - veli Jahve - grad ovaj predajem u ruke Kaldejaca i u ruke kralja babilonskoga, koji će ga zauzeti.
29 The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.
Ući će u nj Kaldejci koji se bore protiv ovoga grada, ognjem će ga uništiti i spaliti ga zajedno s kućama kojima su na krovovima Baalu palili tamjan i lijevali ljevanice tuđim bogovima, mene gnjeveći.
30 The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.
Jer sinovi Izraelovi i sinovi Judini od mladosti čine samo zlo pred mojim očima. Doista, sinovi Izraelovi bez prestanka me gnjeve djelima ruku svojih - riječ je Jahvina.
31 From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.
Grad ovaj, doista, samo mi je na gnjev i srdžbu otkako je sagrađen pa do dana današnjega te ga moram ukloniti ispred lica svojega
32 The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.
zbog svega bezakonja što ga sinovi Izraelovi i sinovi Judini počiniše, gnjeveći me - oni i kraljevi njihovi, knezovi i svećenici i proroci, Judejci i Jeruzalemci.
33 My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
Okretahu mi leđa, a ne lice svoje, iako se neumorno trudih da ih poučim, ali me ne slušaše niti nauk moj primiše.
34 They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).
Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom da ga oskvrnu.
35 They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
Baalu podigoše uzvišice u Dolini Ben Hinomu, i sinove i kćeri svoje Moleku kroz oganj provodiše - što im ja nikad ne zapovjedih; ni na um mi ne pade da bi činili takve gadosti niti da bih Judu pustio u takav grijeh.”
36 “But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
Ipak, ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, o tom gradu za koji vi velite da će od mača, gladi i kuge pasti u ruke kralju babilonskom:
37 ‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
“Evo, ja ću ih sabrati iz svih zemalja u koje ih prognah - u gnjevu i jarosti svojoj - i vratit ću ih na ovo mjesto da ovdje spokojno žive.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
I oni će biti narod moj, a ja, ja ću biti Bog njihov.
39 I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.
I dat ću im srce jedno i put jedan, da bi me se bojali u sve dane, na sreću svoju i djece svoje.
40 I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.
I sklopit ću s njima Savez vječan, nikad se više neću odvratiti od njih i uvijek ću im činiti dobro; usadit ću im u srce svoj strah, da se nikad više ne odmetnu od mene.
41 I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’
I radovat ću se čineći im dobro; i čvrsto ću ih zasaditi u ovoj zemlji, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom.”
42 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Kao što sam na ovaj narod doveo svu ovu strašnu nesreću, tako ću na njih dovesti svu sreću koju im obrekoh.
43 [By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”
Da, opet će se kupovati njive u ovoj zemlji o kojoj vi velite: 'Ova je pustinja, bez čovjeka i živinčeta, predana na milost i nemilost Kaldejcima!'
44 [But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Njive će se za novac kupovati, pisat će se i pečatiti kupovni ugovori, pozivat će se svjedoci u zemlji Benjaminovoj i u okolici Jeruzalema. U gradovima Judinim i u gradovima Gorja, Šefele, Negeba, jer ću promijeniti udes njihov” - riječ je Jahvina.
