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 which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem, —unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, and unto the priests and unto the prophets and unto 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 eunuchs the princes of Judah and Jerusalem and the craftsmen and the smiths, had gone forth 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 son of Shaphan and Gemariah 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Unto all the captivity whom I have suffered to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:

5 Gradite kuæe i sjedite u njima; sadite vrtove i jedite rod njihov;

Build ye houses and dwell in them, —And plant ye gardens and eat the fruit thereof;

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, your daughters, give ye to husbands, That they may bear sons and daughters, —And so become ye many there and do not become few;

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 welfare of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray for her unto Yahweh, —For in her welfare, shall ye have welfare.

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 Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Let not your prophets that are in your midst nor your diviners beguile you, —Neither hearken ye unto your dreams which ye are dreaming;

9 Jer vam oni lažno prorokuju u moje ime, ja ih nijesam poslao, govori Gospod.

For falsely, are they prophesying unto you in my name, —I have not sent them, Declareth Yahweh.

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 Yahweh, —That as soon as there are fulfilled to Babylon seventy years, I will visit you, —and establish for you my good word, by causing you to return unto 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 plans which I am planning for you Declareth Yahweh, —Plans of welfare and not of calamity, To give you a future and a hope.

12 Tada æete me prizivati i iæi æete i moliæete mi se, i uslišiæu vas.

So shall ye 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.

So shall ye seek me and find, For ye will enquire after 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, Declareth Yahweh, And will turn back your captivity, And will gather you out of all the nations and out of all the places whither I have driven you, Declareth Yahweh, And will bring you back into the place whence I had caused you to be carried away captive:

15 Jer rekoste: Gospod nam podiže proroke u Vavilonu.

Because ye have said, —Yahweh 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 Yahweh Against the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and Against all the people who are remaining in this city, —your brethren who have 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 Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! sending upon them sword famine, and pestilence, —So will I make them like the horrid figs, that cannot be eaten for badness;

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.

Therefore will I pursue them with sword with famine and with pestilence, —And will make them a terror to 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 hearkened not unto my words Declareth Yahweh, —which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, betimes, sending them yet hearkened they not Declareth Yahweh.

20 Slušajte dakle rijeè Gospodnju vi svi zarobljeni, koje poslah iz Jerusalima u Vavilon.

Ye, therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel Concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you in my name, a falsehood, Behold me! delivering them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he will smite 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.

So shall there be taken up—from them—a curse, by all of the captivity of Judah who are in Babylon saying, —Yahweh 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 committed vileness in Israel And have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbours, And have spoken as a word in my name a falsehood, which I commanded them not, —And, I, am one who knoweth—and a witness Declareth Yahweh.

24 I Semaji iz Nelama reci govoreæi:

Also unto Shemaiah the Nehelamite, shalt thou 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, —Because, thou, hast sent in, thine own name, letters, unto all the people who are in Jerusalem, and unto Zephaniah son, of Maaseiah the priest, and unto 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.

Yahweh, hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be deputies in the house of Yahweh, to any man who is raving and prophesying, so shalt thou put him into the stocks and into the pillory:

27 Zašto dakle ne ukori Jeremije Anatoæanina, koji se gradi prorok meðu vama?

Now, therefore, why, hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is prophesying unto 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.

For, on this account, hath he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, —’Tis, long! Build ye houses and dwell in them, And plant gardens and eat the fruit thereof.

29 I Sofonija sveštenik proèita tu knjigu pred prorokom Jeremijom.

And Zephaniah the priest hath read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet,

30 I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji govoreæi:

Therefore hath the word of Yahweh come 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 thou unto all them of the captivity, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, —Because Shemaiah, hath prophesied to you, when, I, had not sent him, And hath caused you to trust in falsehood,

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 Yahweh, —Behold me! bringing punishment upon Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and upon his seed, He shall have no man to dwell in the midst of this people, Nor shall he see the good that I am about to do for my people, Declareth Yahweh; Because revolt, hath he spoken against Yahweh.
