Jeremija 17
1 Grijeh je Judin zapisan gvozdenom pisaljkom i vrhom od dijamanta, urezan je na ploèi srca njihova i na rogovima oltara vaših,
“The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.
2 Da se sinovi njihovi sjeæaju oltara njihovijeh i lugova njihovijeh pod zelenijem drvetima, na visokim humovima.
Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
3 Goro s poljem, daæu imanje tvoje, sve blago tvoje daæu da se razgrabi, visine tvoje, za grijeh po svijem meðama tvojim.
My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
4 I ti æeš i koji su s tobom ostaviti našljedstvo svoje, koje sam ti dao, i uèiniæu da služiš neprijateljima svojim u zemlji koje ne poznaješ; jer ste raspalili oganj gnjeva mojega, koji æe gorjeti dovijeka.
You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you. I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know, for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.”
5 Ovako veli Gospod: da je proklet èovjek koji se uzda u èovjeka i koji stavlja tijelo sebi za mišicu, a od Gospoda otstupa srce njegovo.
The LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from the LORD.
6 Jer æe biti kao vrijes u pustinji, koji ne osjeæa kad doðe dobro, nego stoji u pustinji, na suhim mjestima u zemlji slanoj i u kojoj se ne živi.
For he will be like a bush in the desert, and will not see when good comes, but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, an uninhabited salt land.
7 Blago èovjeku koji se uzda u Gospoda i kome je Gospod uzdanica.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose confidence is in the LORD.
8 Jer æe biti kao drvo usaðeno kraj vode i koje niz potok pušta žile svoje, koje ne osjeæa kad doðe pripeka, nego mu se list zeleni, i sušne godine ne brine se i ne prestaje raðati rod.
For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
9 Srce je prijevarno više svega i opako; ko æe ga poznati?
The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
10 Ja Gospod ispitujem srca i iskušavam bubrege, da bih dao svakome prema putovima njegovijem i po plodu djela njegovijeh.
“I, the LORD, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
11 Kao što jarebica leži na jajima ali ne izleže, tako ko sabira bogatstvo ali s nepravdom, u polovini dana svojih ostaviæe ga i najposlije æe biti lud.
As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.
12 Mjesto je svetinje naše prijesto slave, visoko mjesto od poèetka.
A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Nade Izrailjev, Gospode! svi koji te ostavljaju neka se posrame; koji otstupaju od mene, neka se zapišu na zemlji, jer ostaviše izvor vode žive, Gospoda.
LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living waters.
14 Iscijeli me, Gospode, i biæu iscijeljen; izbavi me, i biæu izbavljen, jer si ti hvala moja.
Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.
15 Gle, oni mi govore: gdje je rijeè Gospodnja? Neka doðe.
Behold, they ask me, “Where is the LORD’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.”
16 A ja se ne zatezah iæi za tobom kao pastir, i dana žalosnoga ne željeh, ti znaš; što je god izašlo iz usta mojih, pred tobom je.
As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face.
17 Ne budi mi strah, ti si utoèište moje u zlu.
Don’t be a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Neka se posrame koji me gone, a ja ne; neka se oni uplaše, a ja ne; pusti na njih zli dan, i dvostrukim polomom polomi ih.
Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but don’t let me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi, i stani na vrata sinova narodnijeh, na koja ulaze carevi Judini i na koja izlaze, i na svaka vrata Jerusalimska.
The LORD said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 I reci im: èujte rijeè Gospodnju, carevi Judini i svi Judejci i svi Jerusalimljani, koji ulazite na ova vrata.
Tell them, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Ovako veli Gospod: èuvajte se da ne nosite bremena u subotu i ne unosite na vrata Jerusalimska.
The LORD says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 I ne iznosite bremena iz kuæa svojih u subotu, i nikakoga posla ne radite, nego svetite subotu, kao što sam zapovjedio ocima vašim.
Don’t carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day. Don’t do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Ali ne poslušaše niti prignuše uha svojega, nego otvrdnuše vratom svojim da ne poslušaju i ne prime nauke.
But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 Ako me poslušate, govori Gospod, da ne nosite bremena na vrata ovoga grada u subotu, nego svetite subotu ne radeæi u nju nikakoga posla,
It will happen, if you diligently listen to me,” says the LORD, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
25 Tada æe ulaziti na vrata grada ovoga carevi i knezovi, koji sjede na prijestolu Davidovu, na kolima i na konjma, oni i knezovi njihovi, Judejci i Jerusalimljani, i stajaæe ovaj grad dovijeka.
then there will enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will remain forever.
26 I dolaziæe iz gradova Judinijeh i iz okoline Jerusalimske, i iz zemlje Venijaminove, i iz ravnice i iz gora i s juga, i donosiæe žrtve paljenice i prinose s darom i kadom, i žrtve zahvalne donosiæe u dom Gospodnji.
They will come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to the LORD’s house.
27 Ako li me ne poslušate da svetite subotu i ne nosite bremena ulazeæi na vrata Jerusalimska u subotu, onda æu raspaliti oganj na vratima njegovijem, koji æe upaliti dvorove Jerusalimske i neæe se ugasiti.
But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. It will not be quenched.”’”
