Jeremija 29
1 A ovo su rijeèi u poslanici koju posla prorok Jeremija iz Jerusalima k ostatku starješina zarobljenijeh i sveštenicima i prorocima i svemu narodu što ga preseli Navuhodonosor iz Jerusalima u Vavilon,
Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 Pošto otide iz Jerusalima car Jehonija i carica i dvorani i knezovi Judini i Jerusalimski, i drvodjelje i kovaèi,
after that Jeconiah the king, and the queen-mother, and the officers, and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;
3 Po Elasi sinu Safanovu i Gemariji sinu Helkijinu, koje sla Sedekija car Judin u Vavilon k Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom; i u knjizi govoraše:
by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying:
4 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, svemu roblju koje preselih iz Jerusalima u Vavilon:
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem unto Babylon:
5 Gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima; sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov;
Build ye houses, and dwell in them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6 Ženite se i raðajte sinove i kæeri; i sinove svoje ženite, i kæeri svoje udajite, neka raðaju sinove i kæeri, i množite se tu i ne umaljujte se.
take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply ye there, and be not diminished.
7 I tražite dobro gradu, u koji vas preselih, i molite se za nj Gospodu, jer u dobru njegovu biæe vama dobro.
And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto the LORD for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: nemojte da vas varaju vaši proroci što su meðu vama i vaši vraèi, i ne gledajte na sne svoje što sanjate.
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, beguile you, neither hearken ye to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9 Jer vam oni lažno prorokuju u moje ime, ja ih nijesam poslao, govori Gospod.
For they prophesy falsely unto you in My name; I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
10 Jer ovako veli Gospod: kad se navrši u Vavilonu sedamdeset godina, pohodiæu vas, i izvršiæu vam dobru rijeè svoju da æu vas vratiti na ovo mjesto.
For thus saith the LORD: After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will remember you, and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 Jer ja znam misli koje mislim za vas, govori Gospod, misli dobre a ne zle, da vam dam pošljedak kakav èekate.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12 Tada æete me prizivati i iæi æete i moliæete mi se, i uslišiæu vas.
And ye shall call upon Me, and go, and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 I tražiæete me, i naæi æete me, kad me potražite svijem srcem svojim.
And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
14 I daæu vam se da me naðete, govori Gospod, i vratiæu roblje vaše, i sabraæu vas iz svijeh naroda i iz svijeh mjesta u koja sam vas razagnao, govori Gospod, i dovešæu vas opet na mjesto, odakle sam vas iselio.
And I will be found of you, saith the LORD, and I will turn your captivity, and gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you back unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Jer rekoste: Gospod nam podiže proroke u Vavilonu.
For ye have said: 'The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon.'
16 Jer ovako veli Gospod za cara koji sjedi na prijestolu Davidovu i za sav narod koji stoji u ovom gradu, za braæu vašu što ne otidoše s vama u ropstvo.
For thus saith the LORD concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
17 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, ja æu pustiti na njih maè, glad i pomor, i uèiniæu ih da budu kao smokve rðave, koje se ne mogu jesti, kako su rðave.
thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
18 I goniæu ih maèem i glaðu i pomorom, i uèiniæu da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim, da budu uklin i èudo i potsmijeh i rug u svijeh naroda, u koje ih proženem.
And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them;
19 Jer ne poslušaše mojih rijeèi, govori Gospod, kad slah k njima sluge svoje proroke zarana jednako; ali ne poslušaste, govori Gospod.
because they have not hearkened to My words, saith the LORD, wherewith I sent unto them My servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
20 Slušajte dakle rijeè Gospodnju vi svi zarobljeni, koje poslah iz Jerusalima u Vavilon.
Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
21 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev za Ahava sina Kolajina i za Sedekiju sina Masijina, koji vam prorokuju u moje ime laž: evo, ja æu ih predati u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, da ih pobije na vaše oèi.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie unto you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
22 I od njih æe se uzeti uklin meðu sve roblje Judino što je u Vavilonu, te æe govoriti: Gospod da uèini od tebe kao od Sedekije i kao od Ahava, koje ispeèe car Vavilonski na ognju.
and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah that are in Babylon, saying: 'The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire';
23 Jer uèiniše grdilo u Izrailju èineæi preljubu sa ženama bližnjih svojih i govoreæi laž na moje ime, što im ne zapovjedih; ja znam to, i svjedok sam, govori Gospod.
because they have wrought vile deeds in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken words in My name falsely, which I commanded them not; but I am He that knoweth, and am witness, saith the LORD.
24 I Semaji iz Nelama reci govoreæi:
And concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite thou shalt speak, saying:
25 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev govoreæi: što si u svoje ime poslao knjige svemu narodu koji je u Jerusalimu, i Sofoniji sinu Masijinu svešteniku i svijem sveštenicima, govoreæi:
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: Because thou hast sent letters in thine own name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
26 Gospod te postavi sveštenikom na mjesto Jodaja sveštenika da pazite u domu Gospodnjem na svakoga èovjeka bezumna i koji se gradi prorok, da ih meæeš u tamnicu i u klade.
'The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that there should be officers in the house of the LORD for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in the stocks and in the collar.
27 Zašto dakle ne ukori Jeremije Anatoæanina, koji se gradi prorok meðu vama?
Now therefore, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you,
28 Jer posla k nama u Vavilon i poruèi: dugo æe trajati; gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima, i sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov.
forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying: The captivity is long; build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them?'
29 I Sofonija sveštenik proèita tu knjigu pred prorokom Jeremijom.
And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji govoreæi:
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying:
31 Pošlji ka svemu roblju i poruèi: ovako veli Gospod za Semaju iz Nelama: što vam prorokuje Semaja, a ja ga ne poslah, i èini da se uzdate u laž,
Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath caused you to trust in a lie;
32 Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu pohoditi Semaju Nelamljanina i sjeme njegovo, neæe od njega niko ostati u ovom narodu niti æe vidjeti dobra što æu ja uèiniti narodu svojemu, govori Gospod, jer kaziva odmet od Gospoda.
therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do unto My people, saith the LORD; because he hath spoken perversion against the LORD.
