Jeremiah 29
1 These are the words in the scroll that Jeremiah the prophet sent out from Jerusalem to the remaining elders among the captives and to the priests, prophets, and all the people that Nebuchadnezzar exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon.
A ovo su rijeèi u poslanici koju posla prorok Jeremija iz Jerusalima k ostatku starješina zarobljenijeh i sveštenicima i prorocima i svemu narodu što ga preseli Navuhodonosor iz Jerusalima u Vavilon,
2 This was after Jehoiachin the king, the queen mother, and the high officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen had been sent away from Jerusalem.
Pošto otide iz Jerusalima car Jehonija i carica i dvorani i knezovi Judini i Jerusalimski, i drvodjelje i kovaèi,
3 He sent this scroll by the hand of Elasah son of Shapan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah whom Zedekiah, king of Judah, had sent to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
Po Elasi sinu Safanovu i Gemariji sinu Helkijinu, koje sla Sedekija car Judin u Vavilon k Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom; i u knjizi govoraše:
4 The scroll said, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this to all the captives whom I caused to be exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, svemu roblju koje preselih iz Jerusalima u Vavilon:
5 'Build houses and live in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
Gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima; sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov;
6 Take wives and give birth to sons and daughters. Then take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands. Let them give birth to sons and daughters and increase there so you do not become too few.
Ženite se i raðajte sinove i kæeri; i sinove svoje ženite, i kæeri svoje udajite, neka raðaju sinove i kæeri, i množite se tu i ne umaljujte se.
7 Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be exiled, and intercede with me on its behalf since there will be peace for you if it is at peace.'
I tražite dobro gradu, u koji vas preselih, i molite se za nj Gospodu, jer u dobru njegovu biæe vama dobro.
8 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'Do not let your prophets who are in your midst and your diviners deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that you yourselves are having.
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: nemojte da vas varaju vaši proroci što su meðu vama i vaši vraèi, i ne gledajte na sne svoje što sanjate.
9 For they are prophesying deceitfully to you in my name. I did not send them—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
Jer vam oni lažno prorokuju u moje ime, ja ih nijesam poslao, govori Gospod.
10 For Yahweh says this, 'When Babylon has ruled you for seventy years, I will help you and carry out my good word for you to bring you back to this place.
Jer ovako veli Gospod: kad se navrši u Vavilonu sedamdeset godina, pohodiæu vas, i izvršiæu vam dobru rijeè svoju da æu vas vratiti na ovo mjesto.
11 For I myself know the plans that I have for you—this is Yahweh's declaration—plans for peace and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer ja znam misli koje mislim za vas, govori Gospod, misli dobre a ne zle, da vam dam pošljedak kakav èekate.
12 Then you will call to me, and go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Tada æete me prizivati i iæi æete i moliæete mi se, i uslišiæu vas.
13 For you will seek me and find me, since you will seek me with all your heart.
I tražiæete me, i naæi æete me, kad me potražite svijem srcem svojim.
14 Then I will be found by you—this is Yahweh's declaration—and I will bring back your fortunes; I will gather you from all the nations and places where I scattered you—this is Yahweh's declaration—for I will bring you back to the place from where I caused you to be exiled.'
I daæu vam se da me naðete, govori Gospod, i vratiæu roblje vaše, i sabraæu vas iz svijeh naroda i iz svijeh mjesta u koja sam vas razagnao, govori Gospod, i dovešæu vas opet na mjesto, odakle sam vas iselio.
15 Since you said that Yahweh has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,
Jer rekoste: Gospod nam podiže proroke u Vavilonu.
16 Yahweh says this to the king who sits on the throne of David and to all the people who are staying in that city, your brothers who have not gone out with you into captivity—
Jer ovako veli Gospod za cara koji sjedi na prijestolu Davidovu i za sav narod koji stoji u ovom gradu, za braæu vašu što ne otidoše s vama u ropstvo.
17 Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, I am about to send sword, famine, and disease on them. For I will make them like rotten figs that are too bad to be eaten.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, ja æu pustiti na njih maè, glad i pomor, i uèiniæu ih da budu kao smokve rðave, koje se ne mogu jesti, kako su rðave.
18 Then I will pursue them with sword, famine, and plague and make them a horrible sight to all the kingdoms on earth—a horror, an object of curses and hissing, and a shameful thing among all the nations where I scattered her.
I goniæu ih maèem i glaðu i pomorom, i uèiniæu da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim, da budu uklin i èudo i potsmijeh i rug u svijeh naroda, u koje ih proženem.
19 This is because they did not listen to my word—this is Yahweh's declaration—that I sent out to them through my servants the prophets. I repeatedly sent them, but you would not listen—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
Jer ne poslušaše mojih rijeèi, govori Gospod, kad slah k njima sluge svoje proroke zarana jednako; ali ne poslušaste, govori Gospod.
20 So you yourselves listen to the word of Yahweh, all you exiles whom he has sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Slušajte dakle rijeè Gospodnju vi svi zarobljeni, koje poslah iz Jerusalima u Vavilon.
21 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who prophesy falsely to you in my name: See, I am about to put them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will kill them before your eyes.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev za Ahava sina Kolajina i za Sedekiju sina Masijina, koji vam prorokuju u moje ime laž: evo, ja æu ih predati u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, da ih pobije na vaše oèi.
22 Then a curse will be spoken about these persons by all the captives of Judah in Babylon. The curse will say: May Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in fire.
I od njih æe se uzeti uklin meðu sve roblje Judino što je u Vavilonu, te æe govoriti: Gospod da uèini od tebe kao od Sedekije i kao od Ahava, koje ispeèe car Vavilonski na ognju.
23 This will happen because of the shameful things they did in Israel when they committed adultery with their neighbor's wives and declared false words in my name, things that I never commanded them to say. For I am the one who knows; I am the witness—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
Jer uèiniše grdilo u Izrailju èineæi preljubu sa ženama bližnjih svojih i govoreæi laž na moje ime, što im ne zapovjedih; ja znam to, i svjedok sam, govori Gospod.
24 “About Shemaiah the Nehelamite, say this:
I Semaji iz Nelama reci govoreæi:
25 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Because you sent out letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, and said,
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev govoreæi: što si u svoje ime poslao knjige svemu narodu koji je u Jerusalimu, i Sofoniji sinu Masijinu svešteniku i svijem sveštenicima, govoreæi:
26 “Yahweh has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for you to be in charge of Yahweh's house. You are in control of all the people who rave and make themselves into prophets. You should put them in stocks and chains.
Gospod te postavi sveštenikom na mjesto Jodaja sveštenika da pazite u domu Gospodnjem na svakoga èovjeka bezumna i koji se gradi prorok, da ih meæeš u tamnicu i u klade.
27 So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself into a prophet against you?
Zašto dakle ne ukori Jeremije Anatoæanina, koji se gradi prorok meðu vama?
28 For he has sent to us in Babylon and said, 'It will be a long time. Build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”'”
Jer posla k nama u Vavilon i poruèi: dugo æe trajati; gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima, i sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov.
29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
I Sofonija sveštenik proèita tu knjigu pred prorokom Jeremijom.
30 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji govoreæi:
31 “Send word to all the exiles and say, 'Yahweh says this about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you when I myself did not send him, and he has led you to believe lies,
Pošlji ka svemu roblju i poruèi: ovako veli Gospod za Semaju iz Nelama: što vam prorokuje Semaja, a ja ga ne poslah, i èini da se uzdate u laž,
32 therefore Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. There will not be a man for him to stay among this people. He will not see the good that I will do for my people—this is Yahweh's declaration—for he has proclaimed rebellion against Yahweh.'”
Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu pohoditi Semaju Nelamljanina i sjeme njegovo, neæe od njega niko ostati u ovom narodu niti æe vidjeti dobra što æu ja uèiniti narodu svojemu, govori Gospod, jer kaziva odmet od Gospoda.
