Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Teško pastirima koji potiru i razmeæu stado paše moje! govori Gospod.
2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za pastire koji pasu narod moj: vi razmetnuste ovce moje i razagnaste ih, i ne obilaziste ih; evo, ja æu vas obiæi za zloæu djela vaših, govori Gospod.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock from all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
I ostatak ovaca svojih ja æu skupiti iz svijeh zemalja, u koje ih razagnah, i vratiæu ih u torove njihove, gdje æe se naploditi i umnožiti.
4 And I will set shepherds over them who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
I postaviæu im pastire, koji æe ih pasti, da se ne boje više i ne plaše i da ne pogine nijedna, govori Gospod.
5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth.
Gle, idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje æu podignuti Davidu klicu pravednu, koja æe carovati i biti sreæna i èiniti sud i pravdu na zemlji.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety: and this is his name by which he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
U njegove dane spašæe se Juda, i Izrailj æe stanovati u miru, i ovo mu je ime kojim æe se zvati: Gospod pravda naša.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje se neæe više govoriti: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje Misirske;
8 But, The LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries where I have driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Nego: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izveo i doveo sjeme doma Izrailjeva iz sjeverne zemlje i iz svijeh zemalja, u koje ih bijah razagnao. I oni æe sjedjeti u svojoj zemlji.
9 My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
Radi proroka puca srce u meni, trepeæu sve kosti moje, kao pijan sam i kao èovjek kojega je osvojilo vino, Gospoda radi i njegovijeh radi svetijeh rijeèi.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
Jer je zemlja puna preljuboèinaca, i s kletava tuži zemlja, posušiše se paše u pustinji; trk je njihov zao i moæ njihova neprava.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; even, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
Jer i prorok i sveštenik skvrne je, nalazim i u domu svom zloæu njihovu, govori Gospod.
12 Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery paths in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, saith the LORD.
Zato æe put njihov biti kao klizavica po tami, gdje æe popuznuti i pasti; jer æu pustiti na njih zlo godine pohoðenja njihova, govori Gospod.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
U proroka Samarijskih vidio sam bezumlje, prorokovahu Valom, prelašæivahu narod moj Izrailja;
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
Ali u proroka Jerusalimskih vidim strahotu: èine preljubu i hode u laži, ukrjepljuju ruke zlikovcima da se niko ne vrati od svoje zloæe; svi su mi kao Sodom, i stanovnici njegovi kao Gomor.
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama o tijem prorocima: evo, ja æu ih nahraniti pelenom i napojiæu ih žuèi; jer od proroka Jerusalimskih izide oskvrnjenje po svoj zemlji.
16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not from the mouth of the LORD.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: ne slušajte što govore proroci koji vam prorokuju; varaju vas, govore utvare svojega srca, ne iz usta Gospodnjih.
17 They say still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
Jednako govore onima koji ne mare za me: Gospod je rekao: imaæete mir; i svakome koji ide po misli srca svojega govore: neæe doæi na vas zlo.
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
Jer ko je stajao u vijeæu Gospodnjem, i vidio ili èuo rijeè njegovu? ko je pazio na rijeè njegovu i èuo?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
Evo, vihor Gospodnji, gnjev, iziæi æe vihor, koji ne prestaje, pašæe na glavu bezbožnicima.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he shall have executed, and till he shall have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
Neæe se odvratiti gnjev Gospodnji dokle ne uèini i izvrši što je u srcu naumio; najposlije æete razumjeti to sasvijem.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Ne slah tijeh proroka, a oni trèaše; ne govorih im, a oni prorokovaše.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Da su stajali u mom vijeæu, tada bi kazivali moje rijeèi narodu mojemu, i odvraæali bi ih s puta njihova zloga i od zloæe djela njihovijeh.
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Jesam li ja Bog izbliza, govori Gospod, a nijesam Bog i izdaleka?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
Može li se ko sakriti na tajno mjesto da ga ja ne vidim? govori Gospod; ne ispunjam li ja nebo i zemlju? govori Gospod.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Èujem što govore ti proroci koji u ime moje prorokuju laž govoreæi: snio sam, snio sam.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Dokle æe to biti u srcu prorocima koji prorokuju laž, i prijevaru srca svojega prorokuju?
27 Who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
Koji misle da æe uèiniti da narod moj zaboravi ime moje uza sne njihove, koje pripovijedaju jedan drugomu, kao što zaboraviše oci njihovi ime moje uz Vala.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
Prorok koji sni, neka pripovijeda san; a u koga je rijeè moja, neka govori rijeè moju istinito; šta æe pljeva sa pšenicom? govori Gospod.
29 Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Nije li rijeè moja kao oganj, govori Gospod, i kao malj koji razbija kamen?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Zato, evo me na te proroke, govori Gospod, koji kradu moje rijeèi jedan od drugoga.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
Evo me na te proroke, veli Gospod, koji dižu jezik svoj i govore: on veli.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their reckless boasting; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
Evo me na one koji prorokuju lažne sne, veli Gospod, i pripovijedajuæi ih zavode narod moj lažima svojim i hitrinom svojom; a ja ih nijesam poslao niti sam im zapovjedio; i neæe ništa pomoæi tome narodu, govori Gospod.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
Ako te zapita ovaj narod ili koji prorok ili sveštenik govoreæi: kako je breme Gospodnje? tada im reci: kako breme? ostaviæu vas, govori Gospod.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
A proroka i sveštenika i narod koji reèe: breme Gospodnje, ja æu pokarati toga èovjeka i dom njegov.
35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
Nego ovako govorite svaki bližnjemu svojemu i svaki bratu svojemu: šta odgovori Gospod? i: šta reèe Gospod?
36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
A bremena Gospodnjega ne pominjite više, jer æe svakome biti breme rijeè njegova, jer izvræete rijeèi Boga živoga, Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga našega.
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
Ovako reci proroku: šta ti odgovori Gospod? i: šta ti reèe Gospod?
38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
Ali kad kažete: breme Gospodnje, zato ovako veli Gospod: šta govorite tu rijeè: breme Gospodnje, a ja slah k vama da vam kažu: ne govorite: breme Gospodnje,
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
Zato evo me, ja æu vas zaboraviti sasvijem i odbaciæu od sebe vas i grad koji sam dao vama i ocima vašim.
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
I navaliæu na vas porugu vjeènu i sramotu vjeènu koja se neæe zaboraviti.
