Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, ja æu biti Bog svijem porodicama Izrailjevijem, i oni æe mi biti narod.
2 The LORD says, “The people who survive the sword found favour in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
Ovako veli Gospod: narod što osta od maèa naðe milost u pustinji, kad iðah da dam odmor Izrailju.
3 The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
Odavna mi se javljaše Gospod. Ljubim te ljubavlju vjeènom, zato ti jednako èinim milost.
4 I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
Opet æu te sazidati, i biæeš sazidana, djevojko Izrailjeva, opet æeš se veseliti bubnjima svojim, i izlaziæeš sa zborom igraèkim.
5 Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its fruit.
Opet æeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarijskim, sadiæe vinogradari i ješæe rod.
6 For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to the LORD our God.’”
Jer æe doæi dan kad æe vikati èuvari na gori Jefremovoj: ustanite, da idemo na Sion, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
7 For the LORD says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
Jer ovako veli Gospod: pjevajte veselo radi Jakova, i podvikujte radi glave narodima; javljajte, hvalite i govorite: spasi, Gospode, narod svoj, ostatak Izrailjev.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.
Evo, ja æu ih dovesti iz zemlje sjeverne, i sabraæu ih s krajeva zemaljskih, i slijepa i hroma, i trudnu i porodilju, sve zajedno, zbor veliki vratiæe se ovamo.
9 They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.
Iæi æe plaèuæi, i s molitvama æu ih dovesti natrag; vodiæu ih pokraj potoka pravijem putem, na kom se neæe spoticati; jer sam otac Izrailju, i Jefrem je prvenac moj.
10 “Hear the LORD’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
Èujte, narodi, rijeè Gospodnju, i javljajte po dalekim ostrvima i recite: koji rasije Izrailja, skupiæe ga, i èuvaæe ga kao pastir stado svoje.
11 For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
Jer iskupi Gospod Jakova, i izbavi ga iz ruku jaèega od njega.
12 They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
I doæi æe i pjevaæe na visini Sionskoj, i steæi æe se k dobru Gospodnjem, k žitu, k vinu i k ulju, k jaganjcima i teocima; i duša æe im biti kao vrt zaliven, i neæe više tužiti.
13 Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Tada æe se veseliti djevojka u kolu, i momci i starci zajedno, i promijeniæu žalost njihovu na radost, i utješiæu ih, i razveseliæu ih po žalosti njihovoj.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says the LORD.
I napitaæu sveštenicima dušu pretilinom, i narod æe se moj nasititi dobra mojega, govori Gospod.
15 The LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
Ovako veli Gospod: glas u Rami èu se, naricanje i plaè veliki; Rahilja plaèe za djecom svojom, neæe da se utješi za djecom svojom, jer ih nema.
16 The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.
Ovako veli Gospod: ustavi glas svoj od plaèa i oèi svoje od suza, jer ima plata djelu tvojemu, govori Gospod, i oni æe se vratiti iz zemlje neprijateljske.
17 There is hope for your latter end,” says the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
I imaš nada za pošljedak, govori Gospod, da æe se vratiti sinovi tvoji na meðe svoje.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are the LORD my God.
Èujem doista Jefrema gdje tuži: pokarao si me, te sam pokaran kao june neuko; obrati me da se obratim, jer si ti Gospod Bog moj.
19 Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
Jer pošto se obratih, pokajah se; i pošto se nauèih, udarih se po bedru; jer se posramih i stidim se što nosim sramotu mladosti svoje.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says the LORD.
Nije li mi Jefrem mio sin? nije li dijete predrago? Otkad govorih protiv njega, jednako ga se opominjem; zato je srce moje ustreptalo njega radi, doista æu se smilovati na nj, govori Gospod.
21 “Set up road signs. Make guideposts. Set your heart towards the highway, even the way by which you went. Turn again, virgin of Israel. Turn again to these your cities.
Podigni znake, nanesi gomile kamenja, zapamti put kojim si išla; vrati se, djevojko Izrailjeva, vrati se u gradove svoje.
22 How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
Dokle æeš lutati, kæeri odmetnice! jer je Gospod uèinio nešto novo na zemlji: žena æe opkoliti èovjeka.
23 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: još æu ovu rijeè govoriti u zemlji Judinoj i u gradovima njegovijem kad natrag dovedem roblje njihovo: Gospod da te blagoslovi, stane pravde, sveta goro!
24 Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
Jer æe se naseliti u njoj Juda, i svi gradovi njegovi, i ratari i koji idu za stadom.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
Jer æu napojiti umornu dušu, i nasititi svaku klonulu dušu.
26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Utom se probudih i pogledah, i san mi bješe sladak.
27 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu zasijati dom Izrailjev i dom Judin sjemenom èovjeèijim i sjemenom od stoke.
28 It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says the LORD.
I kao što sam pazio na njih da ih istrijebljujem i razvaljujem, i kvarim i zatirem i muèim, tako æu paziti na njih da ih sazidam i posadim, govori Gospod.
29 “In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
U te dane neæe se više govoriti: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi.
30 But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
Nego æe svaki za svoj grijeh poginuti; ko god jede kiselo grožðe, tome æe zubi trnuti.
31 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
Evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem i s domom Judinijem nov zavjet,
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD.
Ne kao onaj zavjet koji uèinih s ocima njihovijem, kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje Misirske, jer onaj zavjet moj oni pokvariše, a ja im bijah muž, govori Gospod;
33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Nego ovo je zavjet što æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem poslije ovijeh dana, govori Gospod: metnuæu zavjet svoj u njih, i na srcu njihovu napisaæu ga, i biæu im Bog i oni æe mi biti narod.
34 They will no longer each teach his neighbour, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
I neæe više uèiti prijatelj prijatelja ni brat brata govoreæi: poznajte Gospoda; jer æe me znati svi od maloga do velikoga, govori Gospod; jer æu im oprostiti bezakonja njihova, i grijeha njihovijeh neæu više pominjati.
35 The LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— the LORD of Armies is his name, says:
Ovako veli Gospod, koji daje sunce da svijetli danju, i uredbe mjesecu i zvijezdama da svijetle noæu, koji raskida more i buèe vali njegovi, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama:
36 “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
Ako tijeh uredaba nestane ispred mene, govori Gospod, i sjeme æe Izrailjevo prestati biti narod preda mnom navijek.
37 The LORD says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
Ovako veli Gospod: ako se može izmjeriti nebo gore i izvidjeti temelji zemaljski dolje, tada æu i ja odbaciti sve sjeme Izrailjevo za sve što su uèinili, veli Gospod.
38 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the city will be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje æe se sazidati Gospodu ovaj grad od kule Ananeilove do vrata na uglu.
39 The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn towards Goah.
I još æe dalje otiæi uže mjeraèko do huma Gariva i obrnuæe se na Goat.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate towards the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
I sva dolina od mrtvijeh tjelesa i pepela, i sva polja dori do potoka Kedrona, do ugla konjskih vrata k istoku, biæe svetinja Gospodu; neæe se razvaliti ni potrti dovijeka.
