Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Riječ koju je Jahve uputio Jeremiji:
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
“Govori Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
3 And say thou to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
Reci im: Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Proklet bio čovjek koji ne posluša riječi Saveza ovoga,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
riječi koje sam zapovjedio ocima vašim kad sam ih izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz one peći ražarene, govoreći: Poslušajte glas moj i činite sve što vam zapovjedim: tada ćete biti narod moj, a ja vaš Bog,
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
da bih ispunio zakletvu kojom sam se zakleo ocima vašim da ću im dati zemlju u kojoj teče mlijeko i med - kao što je danas.'” A ja odgovorih i rekoh: “Tako je, Jahve.”
6 Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
I dalje mi reče Jahve: “Objavi riječi ove po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim: 'Poslušajte riječi Saveza ovoga, te ih izvršavajte.
7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Jer sam ozbiljno opominjao očeve vaše kad sam ih izvodio iz zemlje egipatske i do danas ih neumorno opominjem: Poslušajte glas moj!
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
Ali oni ne slušahu i ne prignuše uha svojega, nego se povedoše za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga. Zato dopustih da se na njima ispune sve riječi Saveza ovoga za koji im zapovjedih da ga se pridržavaju, ali ga se oni ne pridržavahu.'”
9 And the LORD said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I reče mi Jahve: “Zavjera je među Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Vratiše se bezakonjima svojih otaca koji se oglušiše na moje riječi, pa trčahu za tuđim bogovima da im služe. Dom Izraelov i dom Judin prekršiše Savez moj koji sam sklopio s ocima njihovim.”
11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I will not hearken to them.
Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, dovest ću na njih zlo kojemu neće umaći; vapit će k meni, ali ih ja neću slušati.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Onda neka gradovi judejski i žitelji jeruzalemski vapiju k bogovima kojima kade, ali im oni neće pomoći u vrijeme nevolje!
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.
Jer imaš, o Judejo, bogova koliko i gradova! I koliko ima ulica u Jeruzalemu, toliko žrtvenika podigoste da kadite Baalu.
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time when they cry to me for their trouble.
Ti, dakle, ne moli milosti za taj narod, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, jer ih neću uslišiti kad me zazovu u nevolji svojoj.”
15 What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
Što li će draga moja u Domu mome? Kuje zle osnove. Hoće li pretilina i meso posvećeno ukloniti zlo od tebe? Mogu li te stoga proglasiti čistom?
16 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
“Zelena maslina lijepa uzrasta”, tako te Jahve nazva. A sada uz prasak veliki plamenom sažiže njeno lišće; spaljene su grane njene.
17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal.
Jahve nad Vojskama, koji te bijaše posadio, nesreću ti namijeni zbog zločina što ga učini dom Izraelov i dom Judin kadeći Baalu da bi mene razgnjevili.
18 And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou didst show me their doings.
Jahve mi objavi te znam! Tada mi ti, Jahve, razotkri njihove spletke.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
A ja bijah kao jagnje krotko što ga vode na klanje i ne slutih da protiv mene snuju pakosne naume. “Uništimo drvo još snažno, iskorijenimo ga iz zemlje živih, da mu se ime nikad više ne spominje!”
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to thee have I revealed my cause.
Ali ti, Jahve nad Vojskama, koji pravedno sudiš, koji ispituješ srca i bubrege, daj da vidim kako se njima osvećuješ, jer tebi povjerih parnicu svoju.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
Zato Jahve nad Vojskama govori protiv ljudi u Anatotu koji mi rade o glavi i govore: “Ne prorokuj više u ime Jahvino, da ne pogineš od ruke naše!”
22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Evo, ja ću ih kazniti. Njihovi će mladići od mača poginuti, sinovi i kćeri pomrijet će od gladi.
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment.
Ni ostatka neće ostati kad donesem nesreću ljudima u Anatotu u godini kazne njihove.”
