Jeremija 31

1 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, ja æu biti Bog svijem porodicama Izrailjevijem, i oni æe mi biti narod.

At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

2 Ovako veli Gospod: narod što osta od maèa naðe milost u pustinji, kad iðah da dam odmor Izrailju.

Thus saith Jehovah: The people [that were] left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, [even] Israel, when I go to give him rest.

3 Odavna mi se javljaše Gospod. Ljubim te ljubavlju vjeènom, zato ti jednako èinim milost.

Jehovah hath appeared from afar unto me, [saying, ] Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.

4 Opet æu te sazidati, i biæeš sazidana, djevojko Izrailjeva, opet æeš se veseliti bubnjima svojim, i izlaziæeš sa zborom igraèkim.

I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel! Thou shalt again be adorned with thy tambours, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

5 Opet æeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarijskim, sadiæe vinogradari i ješæe rod.

Thou shalt again plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat the fruit.

6 Jer æe doæi dan kad æe vikati èuvari na gori Jefremovoj: ustanite, da idemo na Sion, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu.

For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God.

7 Jer ovako veli Gospod: pjevajte veselo radi Jakova, i podvikujte radi glave narodima; javljajte, hvalite i govorite: spasi, Gospode, narod svoj, ostatak Izrailjev.

For thus saith Jehovah: Sing aloud [with] gladness for Jacob, and shout at the head of the nations; publish ye, praise ye, and say, Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

8 Evo, ja æu ih dovesti iz zemlje sjeverne, i sabraæu ih s krajeva zemaljskih, i slijepa i hroma, i trudnu i porodilju, sve zajedno, zbor veliki vratiæe se ovamo.

Behold, I bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth; [and] among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great assemblage shall they return hither.

9 Iæi æe plaèuæi, i s molitvama æu ih dovesti natrag; vodiæu ih pokraj potoka pravijem putem, na kom se neæe spoticati; jer sam otac Izrailju, i Jefrem je prvenac moj.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by water-brooks, in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I will be a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

10 Èujte, narodi, rijeè Gospodnju, i javljajte po dalekim ostrvima i recite: koji rasije Izrailja, skupiæe ga, i èuvaæe ga kao pastir stado svoje.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye nations, and declare [it] to the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd his flock.

11 Jer iskupi Gospod Jakova, i izbavi ga iz ruku jaèega od njega.

For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of one stronger than he.

12 I doæi æe i pjevaæe na visini Sionskoj, i steæi æe se k dobru Gospodnjem, k žitu, k vinu i k ulju, k jaganjcima i teocima; i duša æe im biti kao vrt zaliven, i neæe više tužiti.

And they shall come and sing aloud upon the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Jehovah, for corn, and for new wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not languish any more at all.

13 Tada æe se veseliti djevojka u kolu, i momci i starci zajedno, i promijeniæu žalost njihovu na radost, i utješiæu ih, i razveseliæu ih po žalosti njihovoj.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into gladness, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice after their sorrow.

14 I napitaæu sveštenicima dušu pretilinom, i narod æe se moj nasititi dobra mojega, govori Gospod.

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah.

15 Ovako veli Gospod: glas u Rami èu se, naricanje i plaè veliki; Rahilja plaèe za djecom svojom, neæe da se utješi za djecom svojom, jer ih nema.

Thus saith Jehovah: A voice hath been heard in Ramah, the wail of very bitter weeping, — Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

16 Ovako veli Gospod: ustavi glas svoj od plaèa i oèi svoje od suza, jer ima plata djelu tvojemu, govori Gospod, i oni æe se vratiti iz zemlje neprijateljske.

Thus saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for there is a reward for thy work, saith Jehovah; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

17 I imaš nada za pošljedak, govori Gospod, da æe se vratiti sinovi tvoji na meðe svoje.

And there is hope for thy latter end, saith Jehovah, and thy children shall come again to their own border.

18 Èujem doista Jefrema gdje tuži: pokarao si me, te sam pokaran kao june neuko; obrati me da se obratim, jer si ti Gospod Bog moj.

I have indeed heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]: Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised as a bullock not trained: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art Jehovah my God.

19 Jer pošto se obratih, pokajah se; i pošto se nauèih, udarih se po bedru; jer se posramih i stidim se što nosim sramotu mladosti svoje.

Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after I knew myself, I smote upon [my] thigh. I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, for I bear the reproach of my youth.

20 Nije li mi Jefrem mio sin? nije li dijete predrago? Otkad govorih protiv njega, jednako ga se opominjem; zato je srce moje ustreptalo njega radi, doista æu se smilovati na nj, govori Gospod.

Is Ephraim a dear son unto me? is he a child of delights? For whilst I have been speaking against him, I do constantly remember him still. Therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I will certainly have mercy upon him, saith Jehovah.

21 Podigni znake, nanesi gomile kamenja, zapamti put kojim si išla; vrati se, djevojko Izrailjeva, vrati se u gradove svoje.

Set up waymarks, make for thyself signposts; set thy heart toward the highway, the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

22 Dokle æeš lutati, kæeri odmetnice! jer je Gospod uèinio nešto novo na zemlji: žena æe opkoliti èovjeka.

How long wilt thou wander about, thou backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath created a new thing on the earth, a woman shall encompass a man.

23 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: još æu ovu rijeè govoriti u zemlji Judinoj i u gradovima njegovijem kad natrag dovedem roblje njihovo: Gospod da te blagoslovi, stane pravde, sveta goro!

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: They shall again use this speech, in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness!

24 Jer æe se naseliti u njoj Juda, i svi gradovi njegovi, i ratari i koji idu za stadom.

And therein shall dwell Judah, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks.

25 Jer æu napojiti umornu dušu, i nasititi svaku klonulu dušu.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and every languishing soul have I replenished.

26 Utom se probudih i pogledah, i san mi bješe sladak.

— Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

27 Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu zasijati dom Izrailjev i dom Judin sjemenom èovjeèijim i sjemenom od stoke.

Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah [with] the seed of man and the seed of beast.

28 I kao što sam pazio na njih da ih istrijebljujem i razvaljujem, i kvarim i zatirem i muèim, tako æu paziti na njih da ih sazidam i posadim, govori Gospod.

And it shall come to pass, as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to overthrow, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them to build, and to plant, saith Jehovah.

29 U te dane neæe se više govoriti: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi.

In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge:

30 Nego æe svaki za svoj grijeh poginuti; ko god jede kiselo grožðe, tome æe zubi trnuti.

for every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31 Evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem i s domom Judinijem nov zavjet,

Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

32 Ne kao onaj zavjet koji uèinih s ocima njihovijem, kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje Misirske, jer onaj zavjet moj oni pokvariše, a ja im bijah muž, govori Gospod;

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of my taking them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah.

33 Nego ovo je zavjet što æu uèiniti s domom Izrailjevijem poslije ovijeh dana, govori Gospod: metnuæu zavjet svoj u njih, i na srcu njihovu napisaæu ga, i biæu im Bog i oni æe mi biti narod.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 I neæe više uèiti prijatelj prijatelja ni brat brata govoreæi: poznajte Gospoda; jer æe me znati svi od maloga do velikoga, govori Gospod; jer æu im oprostiti bezakonja njihova, i grijeha njihovijeh neæu više pominjati.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will pardon their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

35 Ovako veli Gospod, koji daje sunce da svijetli danju, i uredbe mjesecu i zvijezdama da svijetle noæu, koji raskida more i buèe vali njegovi, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama:

Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for light by night, who stirreth up the sea so that the waves thereof roar, — Jehovah of hosts is his name:

36 Ako tijeh uredaba nestane ispred mene, govori Gospod, i sjeme æe Izrailjevo prestati biti narod preda mnom navijek.

If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

37 Ovako veli Gospod: ako se može izmjeriti nebo gore i izvidjeti temelji zemaljski dolje, tada æu i ja odbaciti sve sjeme Izrailjevo za sve što su uèinili, veli Gospod.

Thus saith Jehovah: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off the whole seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith Jehovah.

38 Evo idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje æe se sazidati Gospodu ovaj grad od kule Ananeilove do vrata na uglu.

Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah, from the tower of Hananeel unto the corner-gate.

39 I još æe dalje otiæi uže mjeraèko do huma Gariva i obrnuæe se na Goat.

And the measuring line shall yet go forth before it unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn toward Goath.

40 I sva dolina od mrtvijeh tjelesa i pepela, i sva polja dori do potoka Kedrona, do ugla konjskih vrata k istoku, biæe svetinja Gospodu; neæe se razvaliti ni potrti dovijeka.

And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the torrent Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto Jehovah: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more for ever.
