Jeremija 11
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 Slušajte rijeèi ovoga zavjeta, i kazujte ljudima Judinijem i stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.
“Listen to the words of this covenant, and declare them to each man in Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 I reci im: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: proklet da je ko ne posluša rijeèi ovoga zavjeta,
Say to them, 'Yahweh, God of Israel says this: Cursed is anyone who does not listen to the words of this covenant.
4 Koji zapovjedih ocima vašim kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske iz peæi gvozdene govoreæi: slušajte glas moj i tvorite ovo sve kako vam zapovijedam, pa æete mi biti narod i ja æu vam biti Bog,
This is the covenant that I commanded your ancestors to keep the day I brought them out from the land of Egypt, from the furnace for smelting iron. I said, “Listen to my voice and do all of these things just as I have commanded you, for you will be my people and I will be your God.”
5 Da bih ispunio zakletvu kojom se zakleh ocima vašim da æu im dati zemlju u kojoj teèe mlijeko i med, kako se vidi danas. A ja odgovorih i rekoh: amin, Gospode.
Obey me so that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your ancestors, the oath that I would give them the land flowing with milk and honey, where you live today.'” Then I, Jeremiah, answered and said, “Yes, Yahweh!”
6 Potom reèe mi Gospod: kazuj sve ove rijeèi po gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim govoreæi: slušajte rijeèi ovoga zavjeta, i izvršujte ih.
Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these things in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Say, 'Listen to the words of this covenant and carry them out.
7 Jer tvrdo zasvjedoèavah ocima vašim otkad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske do danas, zarana jednako govoreæi: slušajte glas moj.
For I have been giving solemn commands to your ancestors from the day I brought them up from the land of Egypt until this present time, persistently warning them and saying, “Listen to my voice.”'
8 Ali ne poslušaše i ne prignuše uha svojega, nego hodiše svaki za mislima zloga srca svojega; zato pustih na njih sve rijeèi ovoga zavjeta, koji zapovjedih da vrše a oni ne vršiše.
But they did not listen or pay attention. Each person has been walking in the stubbornness of his wicked heart. So I brought all the curses in this covenant that I commanded to come against them. But the people still did not obey.”
9 Tada mi reèe Gospod: buna je meðu ljudima Judinijem i stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.
Next Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy has been discovered among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Vratili su se na bezakonja starijeh svojih, koji ne htješe slušati mojih rijeèi, i idu za drugim bogovima, te im služe; dom Izrailjev i dom Judin pokvariše zavjet moj, koji uèinih s ocima njihovijem.
They have turned to the iniquities of their earliest ancestors, who refused to listen to my word, who instead walked after other gods to worship them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah broke my covenant that I established with their ancestors.
11 Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu pustiti na njih zlo, iz kojega neæe moæi izaæi, i vapiæe k meni, ali ih neæu uslišiti.
Therefore Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to bring disaster on them, disaster from which they will not be able to escape. Then they will call out to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Tada æe gradovi Judini i stanovnici Jerusalimski iæi i vapiti k bogovima kojima kade, ali im neæe pomoæi u nevolji njihovoj.
The cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and call out to the gods to which they had given offerings, but they will certainly not be saved by them at the time of their disaster.
13 Jer imaš bogova, Judo, koliko gradova, i koliko ima ulica u Jerusalimu, toliko podigoste oltara sramotnijeh, oltara, da kadite Valu.
For you Judah, the number of your gods has increased to equal the number of your cities. You have made the number of shameful altars in Jerusalem, incense altars for Baal, equal to the number of her streets.
14 Ti se dakle ne moli za taj narod, i ne podiži vike ni molbe za njih, jer ih neæu uslišiti kad zavapiju k meni u nevolji svojoj.
So you yourself, Jeremiah, must not pray for this people. You must not wail or pray on their behalf. For I will not be listening when they call on me in their disaster.
15 Što æe mili moj u domu mom, kad èini grdilo s mnogima, i sveto meso otide od tebe, i veseliš se kad zlo èiniš?
Why is my beloved one, the one who has had so many wicked intentions, in my house? The meat of your sacrifices cannot help you. You rejoice because of your evil actions.
16 Gospod te nazva maslinom zelenom, lijepom radi dobroga roda; ali s hukom velikoga vjetra raspali oganj oko nje, i grane joj se polomiše.
In the past Yahweh called you a leafy olive tree, beautiful with lovely fruit. But he will light a fire on it that will sound like the roar of a storm; its branches will be broken.
17 Jer Gospod nad vojskama, koji te je posadio, izreèe zlo po te, za zloæu doma Izrailjeva i doma Judina, koju èiniše meðu sobom da bi me razgnjevili kadeæi Valu.
For Yahweh of hosts, the one who planted you, has decreed disaster against you because of the wicked acts that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have committed—they have angered me by giving offerings to Baal.'”
18 Gospod mi objavi, te znam; ti mi pokaza djela njihova.
Yahweh made me know these things, so I know them. You, Yahweh, made me see their deeds.
19 A ja bijah kao jagnje i tele koje se vodi na klanje, jer ne znadijah da se dogovaraju na me: oborimo drvo s rodom njegovijem, i istrijebimo ga iz zemlje živijeh, da mu se ime ne spominje više.
I was like a gentle lamb being led to a butcher. I did not know that they had formed plans against me, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit! Let us cut him off from the land of the living so his name will be no longer remembered.”
20 Ali, Gospode nad vojskama, sudijo pravedni, koji ispituješ bubrege i srce, daj da vidim osvetu tvoju na njima, jer tebi kazah parbu svoju.
Yet Yahweh of hosts is the righteous judge who examines the heart and the mind. I will witness your vengeance against them, for I have presented my case to you.
21 Zato ovako veli Gospod za Anatoæane, koji traže dušu tvoju govoreæi: ne prorokuj u ime Gospodnje, da ne pogineš od naših ruku;
Therefore Yahweh says this concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life, “They say, 'You must not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, or you will die by our hand.'
22 Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, ja æu ih pohoditi; mladiæi æe njihovi izginuti od maèa, sinovi njihovi i kæeri njihove izginuæe od gladi.
Therefore Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, I am about to punish them. Their vigorous young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 I neæe biti od njih ostatka; jer æu pustiti zlo na Anatoæane kad ih pohodim.
None of them will be left, because I am bringing disaster against the people of Anathoth, a year of their punishment.'”
