Jeremiah 16
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina i reče:
2 “Do not take a wife for yourself, and do not have sons or daughters for yourself in this place.
“Ne uzimaj sebi žene; i nemaj ni sinova ni kćeri na ovome mjestu.
3 For Yahweh says this to the sons and daughters who are born in this place, to the mothers who bear them, and to the fathers who caused them to be born in this land,
Jer ovako govori Jahve o kćerima i sinovima koji će se roditi na ovome mjestu i o majkama koje će ih rađati i o očevima koji će ih imati u ovoj zemlji:
4 'They will die diseased deaths. They will not be mourned or buried. They will be like dung on the ground. For they will come to an end by sword and famine, and their corpses will be food for the birds of the skies and the beasts of the earth.'
Oni će umrijeti smrću prebolnom, nitko ih neće oplakivati, niti će ih sahraniti. Pretvorit će se u gnoj za oranice, izginut će od mača i gladi, a njihova će trupla biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.”
5 For the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 'Do not enter a house where there is mourning. Do not go to mourn or to show sympathy for them, for I have taken away my peace from this people—this is Yahweh's declaration—and my steadfast love and mercy.
Da, ovako govori Jahve: “Ne smiješ ući u kuću žalosti, ne idi naricati niti ih sažaljevati. Jer ja sam tom narodu uskratio mir svoj - riječ je Jahvina - ljubav i samilost.
6 Both the great and the small will die in this land. They will not be buried, and no one will mourn for them or cut themselves or shave their heads for them.
Pomrijet će veliko i malo u ovoj zemlji i nitko ih neće pokopati. Nitko neće naricati nad njima, niti će zbog njih praviti ureza, niti kose šišati.
7 No one must share any food in mourning to comfort them because of the deaths, and none must give a comforting cup to his father or his mother in order to comfort them.
Za onog u žalosti neće kruh lomiti, da ga utješe zbog pokojnika, nitiće mu tko pružiti pehar utjehe zbog smrti njegova oca ili majke njegove.
8 You must not go to a banquet house to sit with them in order to eat or drink.'
Ne ulazi u kuću slavlja da s njima sjediš i gostiš se.”
9 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, before your eyes, in your days and in this place, I am about to put an end to the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride.'
Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Evo, učinit ću da s ovog mjesta i pred vašim očima i u ovim danima iščeznu poklici radosti i veselja i glasovi zaručnika i zaručnice.
10 Then it will happen that you will report all these words to this people, and they will say to you, 'Why has Yahweh decreed all this great disaster against us? What is our iniquity and sin that we sinned against Yahweh our God?'
A kad objaviš tom narodu sve ove riječi, pa te upitaju: 'Zašto nam Jahve zaprijeti svom ovom golemom nesrećom; u čemu je zločinstvo naše i u čemu su grijesi naši što ih počinismo protiv Jahve, Boga našega?' -
11 So say to them, 'Because your ancestors abandoned me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and they went after other gods and worshiped and bowed down to them. They abandoned me and have not kept my law.
onda im odgovori: 'U tom što me ostaviše oci vaši - riječ je Jahvina - i trčaše za tuđim bogovima da im služe i da im se klanjaju, a mene ostaviše i Zakona se moga ne držaše.
12 But you yourselves have brought about more wickedness than your ancestors, for see, each person is walking by the stubbornness of his wicked heart; there is no one who listens to me.
A vi još gore učiniste nego oci vaši, jer evo, svaki se povodi za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga, a mene ne sluša.
13 So I will throw you from this land to a land that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors, and you will worship other gods there by day and night, for I will not give any favor to you.'
Zato ću vas istjerati iz ove zemlje u zemlju koja vam je neznana, kao što bijaše i ocima vašim. Ondje ćete služiti tuđim bogovima danju i noću: jer neću vam se više smilovati!'”
14 Therefore, behold, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when it will no longer be said, 'As Yahweh lives, the one who brought up the people of Israel from the land of Egypt.'
“Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz Egipta',
15 but, 'As Yahweh lives, the one who brought up the people of Israel from the land of the north and from the lands where he had scattered them.' For I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors.
nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao.' Vratit ću ih u zemlju njihovu koju dadoh ocima njihovim.
16 Behold! I will send for many fishermen—this is Yahweh's declaration—so they will fish the people out. After this I will send for many hunters so they will hunt for them among all the mountains and hills, and in rock crevices.
Evo, poslat ću mnoga ribara - riječ je Jahvina - koji će ih uloviti. A zatim ću dovesti mnoge lovce koji će ih goniti sa svih gora, i sa svih brežuljaka, i iz svih pećinskih rasjeklina.
17 For my eye is on all their ways; they cannot be hidden from before me. Their iniquity cannot be concealed from before my eyes.
Jer moje oči prate sve njihove putove: neće mi izmaći, niti se bezakonje njihovo može sakriti od očiju mojih.
18 I will first pay back double for their iniquity and sin for their polluting of my land with their disgusting idol figures, and for their filling my inheritance with their disgusting idols.”
Dvostruko ću naplatiti njihovo bezakonje i grijehe njihove, jer su truplima svojih grozota oskvrnuli moju zemlju i moju baštinu ispunili gnusobama.”
19 Yahweh, you are my stronghold and my refuge, my place of safety in the day of distress. The nations will go to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our ancestors inherited deceit. They are empty; there is no profit in them.
Jahve, snago moja i moja utvrdo, utočište moje u danima nevolje! K tebi će doći narodi s krajeva zemlje. I govorit će: Samu nam laž oci namriješe, Ništavost i Nemoć.
20 Do people make gods for themselves? But they are not gods.”
TÓa stvara li čovjek sam sebi bogove, to nikako nisu bogovi.
21 Therefore see! I will cause them to know in this time, I will cause them to know my hand and my power, so they will know that Yahweh is my name.
Učinit ću, evo, da osjete, da ovaj put zaista oćute moju ruku i snagu moju, i znat će da mi je ime Jahve.
