Jeremiah 31
1 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to all families of Israel, And they — they are to Me for a people.
U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, ja æu biti Bog svijem porodicama Izrailjevijem, i oni æe mi biti narod.
2 Thus said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest — Israel.
Ovako veli Gospod: narod što osta od maèa naðe milost u pustinji, kad iðah da dam odmor Izrailju.
3 From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness.
Odavna mi se javljaše Gospod. Ljubim te ljubavlju vjeènom, zato ti jednako èinim milost.
4 Again do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out in the chorus of the playful.
Opet æu te sazidati, i biæeš sazidana, djevojko Izrailjeva, opet æeš se veseliti bubnjima svojim, i izlaziæeš sa zborom igraèkim.
5 Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria, Planters have planted, and made common.
Opet æeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarijskim, sadiæe vinogradari i ješæe rod.
6 For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, 'Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God;
Jer æe doæi dan kad æe vikati èuvari na gori Jefremovoj: ustanite, da idemo na Sion, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
7 For thus said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and say, Save, O Jehovah, thy 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 Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one — together, A great assembly — they turn back hither.
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 With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way — they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim — My first-born [is] he.
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 a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd [doth] 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 Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
Jer iskupi Gospod Jakova, i izbavi ga iz ruku jaèega od njega.
12 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more.
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 rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men — together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above 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 And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
I napitaæu sveštenicima dušu pretilinom, i narod æe se moj nasititi dobra mojega, govori Gospod.
15 Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.
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 Thus said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back 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 And there is hope for thy latter end, An affirmation of Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
I imaš nada za pošljedak, govori Gospod, da æe se vratiti sinovi tvoji na meðe svoje.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, 'Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah 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 For after my turning back I repented, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne 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 A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back unto these thy cities.
Podigni znake, nanesi gomile kamenja, zapamti put kojim si išla; vrati se, djevojko Izrailjeva, vrati se u gradove svoje.
22 Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass man.
Dokle æeš lutati, kæeri odmetnice! jer je Gospod uèinio nešto novo na zemlji: žena æe opkoliti èovjeka.
23 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, 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 And dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
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 every grieved soul I have filled.'
Jer æu napojiti umornu dušu, i nasititi svaku klonulu dušu.
26 On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.
Utom se probudih i pogledah, i san mi bješe sladak.
27 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man, and seed of beast.
Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu zasijati dom Izrailjev i dom Judin sjemenom èovjeèijim i sjemenom od stoke.
28 And it hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.
U te dane neæe se više govoriti: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi.
30 But — each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
Nego æe svaki za svoj grijeh poginuti; ko god jede kiselo grožðe, tome æe zubi trnuti.
31 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant,
Evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem i s domom Judinijem nov zavjet,
32 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a 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 And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention 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 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name:
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 statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days.
Ako tijeh uredaba nestane ispred mene, govori Gospod, i sjeme æe Izrailjevo prestati biti narod preda mnom navijek.
37 Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 Lo, days [are coming], an affirmation of Jehovah, And the city hath been built to Jehovah, From the tower of Hananeel 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 And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah.
I još æe dalje otiæi uže mjeraèko do huma Gariva i obrnuæe se na Goat.
40 And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the horse-gate eastward, [Are] holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age!
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.
