Jeremiah 23
1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the LORD.
“Jao pastirima koji upropašćuju i raspršuju ovce paše moje” - riječ je Jahvina.
2 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says the LORD.
Stoga ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, protiv pastira koji pasu narod moj: “Vi ste raspršili ovce moje, rastjerali ih, niste se brinuli za njih. Zato ću se ja sada pobrinuti za vas zbog zlodjela vaših - riječ je Jahvina.
3 “I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
I sam ću skupiti ostatak svojih ovaca iz svih zemalja kamo sam ih raspršio i vratiti ih na ispaše njihove: bit će plodne i množit će se.
4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says the LORD.
I podići ću im pastire da ih pasu te se ničega više neće bojati ni plašiti, niti će se gubiti” - riječ je Jahvina.
5 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - podići ću Davidu izdanak pravedni. On će vladati kao kralj i biti mudar i činit će pravo i pravicu u zemlji.
6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: The LORD our righteousness.
U njegove će dane Judeja biti spašena i Izrael će živjeti spokojno. I evo imena kojim će ga nazivati: 'Jahve, Pravda naša.'
7 “Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that they will no more say, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje egipatske',
8 but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji potomstvo doma Izraelova izvede i dovede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao, tako da obitavaju u zemlji svojoj.'”
9 Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.
Prorocima. Srce je u meni skrhano, dršću mi kosti, sličan sam pijancu, čovjeku kojim vino ovlada, pred licem Jahvinim i njegovim svetim riječima:
10 “For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
“Jer zemlja je puna preljubnika; zbog tih se ljudi zemlja u crno zavila, a ispaše u pustinji sagorješe. Njihova je trka zloba, a moć im je nepravda.
11 for both prophet and priest are profane. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says the LORD.
Da, i prorok i svećenik zlikovci su, čak i u Domu svome nađoh im pakost” - riječ je Jahvina.
12 Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
Stog' će im se puti prometnuti u tlo klizavo: u mraku će posrtati i padati. Jer ja ću na njih svaliti nesreću u godine kazne njihove” - riječ je Jahvina.
13 “I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
“I u proroka Samarije vidjeh mnoge ludosti: prorokuju u Baalovo ime i zavode narod moj izraelski.
14 In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
Ali u proroka jeruzalemskih vidjeh strahote: preljub, prijevarne putove, jačaju ruke zločincima, te se nitko od zločina svojih ne obraća. Svi su mi oni kao Sodoma, a žitelji kao Gomora!”
15 Therefore the LORD of Armies says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
I zato Jahve nad Vojskama ovako govori o prorocima: “Evo, nahranit ću ih pelinom i napojiti vodom zatrovanom, jer od proroka jeruzalemskih potječe pokvara u svoj zemlji.”
16 The LORD of Armies says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Ne slušajte riječi proroka: oni vas obmanjuju, objavljuju viđenja srca svoga, a ne što dolazi iz usta Jahvinih;
17 They say continually to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
govore onima što preziru riječ Jahvinu: 'Bit će s vama mir!' a onima što slijede glas svog srca okorjelog: 'Nikakvo vas zlo neće snaći!'”
18 For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
TÓa tko bijaše na vijećanju Jahvinu, tko je vidio, tko slušao riječ njegovu? Tko ju je shvatio te je može objaviti?
19 Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head of the wicked.
Gle, nevrijeme Jahvino: jarost provaljuje, razmahuje se vihor silan i svaljuje na glave bezbožničke.
20 The LORD’s anger will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
Jahvin se gnjev neće stišati, dok on ne izvrši i ne ispuni naume srca svojega. U dane posljednje jasno ćete to razumjeti.
21 I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.
“Ne poslah ti proroka, a ipak trče! Ne govorih im, a ipak prorokuju!
22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jest, da bijahu na mom vijećanju, moje bi riječi narodu mom obznanili, i kušali ih svrnuti sa zla puta njihova i od zlodjela njihovih!
23 “Am I a God at hand,” says the LORD, “and not a God afar off?
TÓa, zar sam ja Bog samo iz blizine - riječ je Jahvina - zar iz daljine nisam više Bog?
24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says the LORD. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD.
Može li se tko skriti u skrovištima da ga ja ne vidim? - riječ je Jahvina. Ne ispunjam li ja nebo i zemlju? - riječ je Jahvina.
25 “I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
Čuo sam što govore proroci koji prorokuju laži u ime moje i tvrde: 'Usnio sam! Usnio sam!'
26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Dokle će među prorocima biti onih koji prorokuju laž i objavljuju prijevaru srca svojega?
27 They intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.
Misle da će svojim snima što ih jedan drugom pripovijedaju postići da narod moj zaboravi ime moje, kao što već oci njihovi zaboraviše ime moje uz Baala!
28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says the LORD.
Prorok koji je usnio san neka samo pripovijeda svoj san, a u koga je riječ moja, neka po istini objavljuje riječ moju!” “Što je zajedničko slami i žitu? - riječ je Jahvina.
29 “Isn’t my word like fire?” says the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Nije li riječ moja poput vatre - riječ je Jahvina - i nije li slična malju što razbija pećinu?
30 “Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who each steal my words from his neighbor.
Evo me stoga protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji jedan drugome kradu moje riječi.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘He says.’
Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji mlate jezikom i proroštva kuju.
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says the LORD, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says the LORD.
Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji prorokuju izmišljene snove i pripovijedajući ih zavode narod moj izmišljotinama svojim i lažima. A ja ih nisam poslao, niti sam im što zapovjedio, niti su narodu ovome od kakve koristi - riječ je Jahvina.
33 “When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from the LORD?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says the LORD.’
A ako te ovaj narod, ili prorok, ili svećenik, zapita: 'Što je breme Jahvino?' odgovori im: 'Vi ste breme Jahvino i ja vas odbacujem' - riječ je Jahvina.
34 As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ I will even punish that man and his household.
A reče li koji prorok ili svećenik, ili tko iz naroda: 'Breme Jahvino', kaznit ću toga čovjeka i dom njegov.
35 You will say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘What has the LORD said?’
Ovako morate govoriti svaki svome bližnjemu i svaki svome bratu: 'Što je Jahve odgovorio?' ili 'Što je Jahve rekao?'
36 You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Armies, our God.
Ali 'Breme Jahvino' da više niste spomenuli, jer je breme svakome riječ njegova.” Jer vi iskrivljujete riječi Boga živoga, Jahve nad Vojskama, našega Boga!
37 You will say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
Ovako reci proroku: “Što ti je Jahve odgovorio?” ili “Što je Jahve rekao?”
38 Although you say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ therefore the LORD says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from the LORD,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from the LORD,”
Ali ako kažete “Breme Jahvino”, ovako govori Jahve: “Zato što se služite riječju 'Breme Jahvino', premda sam vam poručio da je ne izgovarate,
39 therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.
ja ću visoko podići i odbaciti od lica svojega vas i vaš grad što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim!
40 I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’”
I svalit ću na vas vječnu sramotu i vječnu porugu koja se neće zaboraviti.”
