Jeremiah 23
1 Woe to shepherds destroying, And scattering the flock of My pasture, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Jao pastirima koji upropašćuju i raspršuju ovce paše moje” - riječ je Jahvina.
2 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Against the shepherds who feed My people, Ye have scattered My flock, and drive them away, And have not inspected them, Lo, I am charging on you the evil of your doings, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 And I do gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the lands whither I drove them, And have brought them back unto their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied.
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 And I have raised for them shepherds, And they have fed them, And they fear no more, nor are affrighted, Nor are they lacking — an affirmation of Jehovah.
I podići ću im pastire da ih pasu te se ničega više neće bojati ni plašiti, niti će se gubiti” - riječ je Jahvina.
5 Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have raised to David a righteous shoot, And a king hath reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
“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 is Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth confidently, And this his name that Jehovah proclaimeth him, '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, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they do not say any more, Jehovah liveth who brought up The sons 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 — Jehovah liveth, who brought up, And who brought in, the seed of the house of Israel, From the land of the north, And from all the lands whither I drove them, And they have dwelt on their own ground!
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 In reference to the prophets: Broken hath been my heart in my midst, Fluttered have all my bones, I have been as a man — a drunkard, And as a man — wine hath passed over him, Because of Jehovah, and 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 of adulterers hath the land been full, For because of these hath the land mourned, Dried up hath been the pleasant places of the wilderness, And their course is evil, and their might — 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 have been profane, Yea, in My house I found their wickedness, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Da, i prorok i svećenik zlikovci su, čak i u Domu svome nađoh im pakost” - riječ je Jahvina.
12 Therefore is their way to them as slippery places, Into thick darkness they are driven, And they have fallen in it, For I bring in against them evil, The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 And in prophets of Samaria I have seen folly, They have prophesied by Baal, And cause my people — Israel — to err.
“I u proroka Samarije vidjeh mnoge ludosti: prorokuju u Baalovo ime i zavode narod moj izraelski.
14 And in prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing, Committing adultery, and walking falsely, Yea, they strengthened the hands of evil doers, So that they have not turned back Each from his wickedness, They have been to me — all of them — 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, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, concerning the prophets: Lo, I am causing them to eat wormwood, And have caused them to drink water of gall, For, from prophets of Jerusalem Hath profanity gone forth to 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 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Ye do not hearken unto the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are making you vain things, A vision of their own heart they speak, Not from the mouth of Jehovah.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Ne slušajte riječi proroka: oni vas obmanjuju, objavljuju viđenja srca svoga, a ne što dolazi iz usta Jahvinih;
17 Saying diligently to those despising The word of Jehovah: Peace is for you, And [to] every one walking in the stubbornness of his heart they have said: Evil doth not come in unto 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 hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah, And seeth and heareth His word? Who hath regarded My word, and hearkeneth?
TÓa tko bijaše na vijećanju Jahvinu, tko je vidio, tko slušao riječ njegovu? Tko ju je shvatio te je može objaviti?
19 Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah — Fury hath gone out, even a piercing whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth.
Gle, nevrijeme Jahvino: jarost provaljuje, razmahuje se vihor silan i svaljuje na glave bezbožničke.
20 The anger of Jehovah doth not turn back Till His doing, and till His establishing, The thoughts of His heart, In the latter end of the days ye attend to it With understanding.
Jahvin se gnjev neće stišati, dok on ne izvrši i ne ispuni naume srca svojega. U dane posljednje jasno ćete to razumjeti.
21 I have not sent the prophets, and they have run, I have not spoken unto them, and they have prophesied.
“Ne poslah ti proroka, a ipak trče! Ne govorih im, a ipak prorokuju!
22 But — if they stood in My counsel, Then they cause My people to hear My words, And they turn them back 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 A God near [am] I — an affirmation of Jehovah, And not a God afar off?
TÓa, zar sam ja Bog samo iz blizine - riječ je Jahvina - zar iz daljine nisam više Bog?
24 Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 that which the prophets said, Who prophesy in My name falsehood, saying, 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed.'
Čuo sam što govore proroci koji prorokuju laži u ime moje i tvrde: 'Usnio sam! Usnio sam!'
26 Till when is it in the heart of the prophets? The prophets of falsehood, Yea, prophets of the deceit of their heart,
Dokle će među prorocima biti onih koji prorokuju laž i objavljuju prijevaru srca svojega?
27 Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams, That they recount each to his neighbour, As their fathers forgot my name for 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 with whom [is] a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom [is] My word, Let him truly speak My word. What — to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 Is it not thus? My word [is] as a fire, An affirmation of Jehovah. And as a hammer — it breaketh in pieces a rock.
Nije li riječ moja poput vatre - riječ je Jahvina - i nije li slična malju što razbija pećinu?
30 Therefore, lo, I [am] against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Stealing My words each from his neighbour.
Evo me stoga protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji jedan drugome kradu moje riječi.
31 Lo, I [am] against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are making smooth their tongue, And they affirm — an affirmation.
Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji mlate jezikom i proroštva kuju.
32 Lo, I [am] against the prophets of false dreams, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they recount them, and cause my people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability, And I — I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And they are not at all profitable to this people, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, doth ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of Jehovah? Then thou hast said unto them: Ye [are] the burden, and I have left you, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That saith, The burden of Jehovah, I have seen after that man, and after his house.
A reče li koji prorok ili svećenik, ili tko iz naroda: 'Breme Jahvino', kaznit ću toga čovjeka i dom njegov.
35 Thus do ye say each unto his neighbour, And each unto his brother: What hath Jehovah answered? And what hath Jehovah spoken?
Ovako morate govoriti svaki svome bližnjemu i svaki svome bratu: 'Što je Jahve odgovorio?' ili 'Što je Jahve rekao?'
36 And the burden of Jehovah ye do not mention any more, For the burden to each is — His word, And ye have overturned the words of the living God, Jehovah of Hosts, 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 Thus dost thou say unto the prophet What hath Jehovah answered thee? And what hath Jehovah spoken?
Ovako reci proroku: “Što ti je Jahve odgovorio?” ili “Što je Jahve rekao?”
38 And if the burden of Jehovah ye say, Therefore thus said Jehovah: Because of your saying this word, The burden of Jehovah, And I do send unto you, saying, Ye do not say, The burden of Jehovah.
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, lo, I — I have taken you utterly away, And I have sent you out, And the city that I gave to you, And to your fathers, from before My face,
ja ću visoko podići i odbaciti od lica svojega vas i vaš grad što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim!
40 And I have put on you reproach age-during, And shame age-during that is not forgotten!
I svalit ću na vas vječnu sramotu i vječnu porugu koja se neće zaboraviti.”
