Jeremija 3
1 Govore: ako ko pusti ženu svoju, i ona otišavši od njega uda se za drugoga, hoæe li se onaj vratiti k njoj? Ne bi li se sasvijem oskvrnila ona zemlja? A ti si se kurvala s mnogim milosnicima; ali opet vrati se k meni, veli Gospod.
“Saying, Behold, one sends his wife away, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he return to her again? Is that land not greatly defiled? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn to Me again,” A declaration of YHWH.
2 Podigni oèi svoje k visinama, i pogledaj gdje se nijesi kurvala; na putovima si sjedjela èekajuæi ih kao Arapin u pustinji, i oskvrnila si zemlju kurvarstvom svojim i zloæom svojom.
“Lift your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them on the ways, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by your wickedness.
3 Zato se ustaviše daždi, i ne bi poznoga dažda; ali u tebe bješe èelo žene kurve, i ne htje se stidjeti.
And showers are withheld, and there has been no spring rain. You have the forehead of a whorish woman, You have refused to be ashamed.
4 Hoæeš li otsele vikati k meni: oèe moj, ti si voð mladosti moje?
Have you not from now on called to Me, My Father, You [are] the leader of my youth?
5 Hoæe li se srditi jednako? hoæe li se gnjeviti dovijeka? Eto, govoriš, a èiniš zlo koliko god možeš.
Does He keep for all time? Watch forever? Behold, you have spoken these things, And you do evil, and prevail.”
6 Još mi reèe Gospod za vremena cara Josije: jesi li vidio što uèini odmetnica, Izrailj? kako odlazi na svako visoko brdo i pod svako zeleno drvo, i kurva se ondje.
And YHWH says to me, in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and to the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there.
7 I pošto uèini sve to, rekoh: vrati se k meni; ali se ne vrati; i to vidje nevjernica, sestra njezina, Juda.
And I say, after her doing all these, Return to Me, and she has not returned, and her treacherous sister Judah sees it.
8 I svidje mi se za sve to što uèini preljubu odmetnica Izrailj da je pustim i dam joj knjigu raspusnu; ali se ne poboja nevjernica sestra joj Juda, nego otide, te se i ona prokurva.
And I see that for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce to her; and her treacherous sister Judah has not feared, and goes and commits fornication—she also.
9 I sramotnijem kurvanjem svojim oskvrni zemlju, jer èinjaše preljubu s kamenom i s drvetom.
And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.
10 I kod svega toga ne vrati se k meni nevjernica sestra joj Juda svijem srcem svojim, nego lažno, govori Gospod.
And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but with falsehood,” a declaration of YHWH.
11 Zato mi reèe Gospod: odmetnica Izrailj opravda se više nego nevjernica Juda.
And YHWH says to me: “Backsliding Israel has justified herself, More than treacherous Judah.
12 Idi i vièi ove rijeèi k sjeveru, i reci: vrati se, odmetnice Izrailju, veli Gospod, i neæu pustiti da padne gnjev moj na vas, jer sam milostiv, veli Gospod, neæu se gnjeviti dovijeka.
Go, and you have proclaimed these words toward the north, and have said, Return, O backsliding Israel,” A declaration of YHWH! “I do not cause My anger to fall on you, for I [am] kind,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not watch for all time.
13 Samo poznaj bezakonje svoje, da si se odmetnula Gospodu Bogu svojemu, ti si tumarala k tuðima pod svako drvo zeleno, i nijeste slušali glasa mojega, veli Gospod.
Only, know your iniquity, For you have transgressed against your God YHWH, And you scatter your ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And you have not listened to My voice,” A declaration of YHWH.
14 Obratite se, sinovi odmetnici, veli Gospod, jer sam ja muž vaš, i uzeæu vas, jednoga iz grada i dva iz porodice, i odvešæu vas u Sion.
“Return, O backsliding sons,” A declaration of YHWH. “For I have ruled over you, And taken you—one from a city, and two from a family, And have brought you to Zion,
15 I daæu vam pastire po srcu svojemu, koji æe vas pasti znanjem i razumom.
And I have given shepherds to you According to My own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 I kad se umnožite i narodite u zemlji, onda se, veli Gospod, neæe više govoriti: kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega; niti æe im dolaziti na um niti æe ga pominjati, niti æe hoditi k njemu, niti æe ga više opravljati.
And it has come to pass, when you are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “They no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, Nor does it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
17 U to æe se vrijeme Jerusalim zvati prijesto Gospodnji, i svi æe se narodi sabrati u nj, k imenu Gospodnjemu u Jerusalimu, i neæe više iæi po misli srca svojega zloga.
At that time they cry to Jerusalem, O throne of YHWH, And all the nations have been gathered to her, For the Name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go after the stubbornness of their evil heart anymore.
18 U to æe vrijeme dom Judin iæi s domom Izrailjevijem, i doæi æe zajedno iz zemlje sjeverne u zemlju koju dadoh u našljedstvo ocima vašim.
In those days the house of Judah Goes to the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, To the land that I caused your fathers to inherit.
19 Ali ja rekoh: kako bih te postavio meðu sinove i dao ti zemlju željenu, krasno našljedstvo mnoštva naroda? I rekoh: ti æeš me zvati: oèe moj; i neæeš se odvratiti od mene.
And I have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give a desirable land to you, A beautiful inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, You call Me—My Father, And you do not turn back from after Me.
20 Doista kao što žena iznevjeri druga svojega, tako iznevjeriste mene, dome Izrailjev, veli Gospod.
But a woman has deceived her friend, So you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH.
21 Glas po visokim mjestima neka se èuje, plaè, molbe sinova Izrailjevijeh, jer prevratiše put svoj, zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega.
A voice is heard on high places—weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made their way perverse, They have forgotten their God YHWH.
22 Vratite se, sinovi odmetnici, i iscijeliæu odmete vaše. Evo, mi idemo k tebi, jer si ti Gospod Bog naš.
“Return, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease.” “Behold us, we have come to You, For You [are] our God YHWH.
23 Doista, zaludu su humovi, mnoštvo gora; doista, u Gospodu je Bogu našem spasenje Izrailjevo.
Surely in vain—from the heights, The multitude of mountains—Surely the salvation of Israel [is] in our God YHWH.
24 Jer ta sramota proždrije trud otaca naših od djetinjstva našega, ovce njihove i goveda njihova, sinove njihove i kæeri njihove.
And the shameful thing has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
25 Ležimo u sramoti svojoj, i pokriva nas rug naš; jer Gospodu Bogu svojemu griješismo mi i oci naši od djetinjstva svojega do danas, i ne slušasmo glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
We have lain down in our shame, and our confusion covers us, For we have sinned against our God YHWH, We, and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, Nor have we listened to the voice of our God YHWH!”
