Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus having a diamond point. It is engraved on the tablet of their hearts and on the horns of your altars.
Judin grijeh upisan je željeznom pisaljkom, urezan dijamantnim vrškom u pločicu njihova srca i u rogove njihovih žrtvenika,
2 Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles that were beside the spreading trees and on the high hills.
kao spomen sinovima njihovim na žrtvenike njihove i ašere njihove oko zelenog drveća na visokim brežuljcima,
3 My mountain in the open country, and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of the sin you committed in all your territories.
na brdima i usred polja. Tvoje bogatstvo i sve blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za grijeh svoj po svoj zemlji.
4 You will lose the inheritance that I gave to you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have ignited a fire in my wrath, which will burn forever.”
Morat ćeš pustiti baštinu koju sam tebi poklonio. Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ. Jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vječno gorjeti.
5 Yahweh says, “The person who trusts in mankind is accursed; he makes flesh his strength but turns his heart away from Yahweh.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Proklet čovjek koji se uzdaje u čovjeka, i slabo tijelo smatra svojom mišicom, i čije se srce od Jahve odvraća.
6 For he will be like a small bush in the Arabah and will not see anything good coming. He will stay in the stony places in the wilderness, barren land without inhabitants.
Jer on je kao drač u pustinji: ne osjeća kad je sreća na domaku, tavori dane u usahloj pustinji, u zemlji slanoj, nenastanjenoj.
7 But the person who trusts in Yahweh is blessed, for Yahweh is his reason for confidence.
Blagoslovljen čovjek koji se uzdaje u Jahvu i kome je Jahve uzdanje.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by water, its roots will spread out by the stream. It will not fear the heat when it comes, for its leaves are always green. It is not anxious in a year of drought, and it will not stop producing fruit.
Nalik je na stablo zasađeno uz vodu što korijenje pušta k potoku: ne mora se ničeg bojati kad dođe žega, na njemu uvijek zelenilo ostaje. U sušnoj godini brigu ne brine, ne prestaje donositi plod.
9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else. It is sick; who can understand it?
Podmuklije od svega je srce. Jedva popravljivo, tko da ga pronikne?
10 I am Yahweh, the one who searches through the mind, who tests the hearts. I give to each person according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
Ja, Jahve, istražujem srca i ispitujem bubrege, da bih dao svakom po njegovu vladanju, prema plodu ruku njegovih.
11 A partridge hatches an egg that she did not lay. Someone may become rich unjustly, but when half his days are over, those riches will abandon him, and in the end he will be a fool.”
Prepelica što leži na jajima a ne leže jest onaj što nepravdom stječe bogatstvo: usred dana svojih ostavit' ga mora i na kraju ostaje lÓuda.
12 “The place of our temple is a glorious throne, elevated from the beginning.
Slavan prijestol dignut od davnina, to je naše sveto mjesto.
13 Yahweh is the hope of Israel. All who abandon you will be put to shame; those in the land who turn away from you will be written in the earth, for they have forsaken Yahweh, the fountain of living waters.
O Jahve, nado Izraela, svi koji te ostave postidjet će se, koji se odmetnu od tebe bit će u prah upisani, jer ostaviše Izvor žive vode.
14 Heal me, Yahweh, and I will be healed! Rescue me, and I will be rescued. For you are my song of praise.
Iscijeli me, Jahve, i bit ću zdrav, spasi me, i bit ću spašen, jer ti si pjesma moja.
15 See, they are saying to me, 'Where is the word of Yahweh? Let it come!'
Evo ih što mi govore: Gdje je riječ Jahvina? Neka se ispuni!
16 As for me, I did not run from being a shepherd following you. I did not long for the day of disaster. You know the proclamations that came from my lips. They were made in your presence.
Ta ja se nisam vrzao oko tebe za njihovu nesreću niti sam želio kobni Dan! - ti to znaš, sve što je izlazilo iz usta mojih pred tobom je.
17 Do not be a terror to me. You are my refuge on the day of calamity.
Ne budi mi na užas, ti, utočište moje, u Dan nesretni.
18 May my pursuers be ashamed, but do not let me be ashamed. May they be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Send the day of disaster against them and shatter them with a double share of destruction.”
Progonitelji moji nek' se postide, ne ja, njih smeti, ne mene. Na njih dovedi Dan nesretni, zatri ih dvogubim zatorom!
19 Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the people where the kings of Judah enter and where they exit, then in all the other gates of Jerusalem.
Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Idi i stani na vrata Sinova naroda na koja ulaze i izlaze kraljevi judejski i na sva vrata jeruzalemska.
20 Say to them, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and all you people of Judah, and every resident of Jerusalem who comes in through these gates.
Reci im: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi, kraljevi judejski i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci koji prolazite kroz ova vrata.
21 Yahweh says this: “Be careful for the sake of your lives and do not carry a burden on the Sabbath day to bring it to the gates of Jerusalem.
Ovako govori Jahve: 'Čuvajte se ako vam je život mio i ne nosite tereta u dan subotnji, i ne unosite ga na vrata jeruzalemska.
22 Do not bring a load out from your house on the Sabbath day. Do not do any work, but set apart the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors to do.”'
I ne nosite bremena iz kuće u dan subotnji, i nikakva posla ne radite, nego svetkujte dan subotnji, kao što sam zapovjedio vašim ocima.
23 They did not listen or pay attention, but stiffened their neck so they would not hear me nor accept discipline.
Oni me ne poslušaše i ne prikloniše uha svojega, nego tvrdovrato ne poslušaše i ne prihvatiše nauka.
24 It will happen that if you truly listen to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not bring a load to the gates of this city on the Sabbath day but instead set apart the Sabbath day to Yahweh and not do any work on it,
A vi, ako me poslušate - riječ je Jahvina - i ako ne budete nosili bremena na vrata ovoga grada, nego budete svetkovali dan subotnji, ne radeći nikakva posla,
25 then kings, princes, and those who sit on David's throne will come to the gates of this city in chariots and with horses, they and their leaders, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
tada će na vrata ovoga grada ulaziti kraljevi koji sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, koji se voze kolima i jašu na konjima, oni i njihovi časnici, Judejci i Jeruzalemci, i ovaj će grad ostati dovijeka.
26 They will come from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and the lowlands, from the mountains, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
I dolazit će iz gradova judejskih, iz okolice Jeruzalema, iz zemlje Benjaminove i iz Šefele, iz Gorja i iz Negeba, da prinesu paljenice, klanice, prinosnice i kad i da prinesu žrtvu zahvalnicu u Domu Jahvinu.
27 But if you do not listen to me—to set apart the Sabbath day and to not carry heavy loads and to not enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day—then I will light a fire in its gates, and it will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem, and it cannot be put out.”
Ali ako me ne poslušate te ne budete svetkovali dan subotnji, i ako budete nosili bremena ulazeći na vrata jeruzalemska u dan subotnji, tada ću potpaliti oganj na vratima njegovim: i plamen će proždrijeti dvore jeruzalemske, i neće se ugasiti.'”
