Jeremija 7
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
The word that came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh saying: —
2 Stani na vratima doma Gospodnjega, i oglasi ondje ovu rijeè, i reci: èujte rijeè Gospodnju, svi Judejci, koji ulazite na ova vrata da se poklonite Gospodu.
Stand thou in the gate of the house of Yahweh, and thou shalt proclaim there this word, —and shalt say—Hear ye the word of Yahweh all Judah ye who are entering in at these gates, to bow down unto Yahweh:
3 Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa æu uèiniti da stanujete na ovom mjestu.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, —That I may cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Ne uzdajte se u lažne rijeèi govoreæi: crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja ovo je.
Do not, on your part trust in false words, saying, —The temple of Yahweh The temple of Yahweh, The temple of Yahweh they are!
5 Nego doista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i bližnjega njegova.
But, if ye shall thoroughly amend, your ways, and your doings, —Shall thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
6 Inostrancu, siroti i udovici ne èinite krivo, i krvi prave ne proljevajte na ovom mjestu, i ne idite za drugim bogovima na svoje zlo.
The sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, shall not oppress, And innocent blood, shall not shed in this place, —And after other gods, shall not walk to your own hurt,
7 Tada æu uèiniti da stanujete od vijeka do vijeka na ovom mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao ocima vašim.
Then will I cause you to dwell In this place, In the land which I gave to your fathers, —From one age even unto another,
8 Eto, vi se uzdate u rijeèi lažne, koje ne pomažu.
Lo! ye, on your part, are trusting in false words, —To no profit!
9 Kradete, ubijate i èinite preljubu, kunete se krivo, i kadite Valima, i idete za drugim bogovima, kojih ne znate;
Are ye to steal, commit murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, —and walk after other gods whom ye have not known;
10 Pa onda dohodite i stajete preda mnom u ovom domu, koji se zove mojim imenom, i govorite: izbavismo se, da èinite sve ove gadove.
And will ye then come in and stand before me in this house whereon my Name hath been called, and say, —We have set ourselves free, —for the purpose of committing all these abominations?
11 Je li ovaj dom, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim oèima peæina hajduèka? Gle, i ja vidim, veli Gospod.
A den of robbers, hath this house on which my Name hath been called become in your own eyes? I, also, —lo! I have seen it Declareth Yahweh.
12 Nego idite sada na moje mjesto, koje je bilo u Silomu, gdje namjestih ime svoje ispoèetka, i vidite što sam mu uèinio za zloæu naroda svojega Izrailja.
For go I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first, —And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel!
13 Zato sada, što èinite sva ona djela, veli Gospod, i što vam govorim zarana jednako, a vi ne slušate, i kad vas zovem, a vi se ne odzivate,
Now, therefore—Because ye have done all these deeds Declareth Yahweh, —And though I spake unto you betimes speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you Yet ye answered not,
14 Zato æu uèiniti tomu domu, koji se zove mojim imenom, u koji se vi uzdate, i ovomu mjestu, koje dadoh vama i ocima vašim, kao što sam uèinio Silomu.
Therefore will I do to the house Whereon my Name hath been called Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, —Just as I did unto Shiloh;
15 I odbaciæu vas od lica svojega, kao što sam odbacio svu braæu vašu, sve sjeme Jefremovo.
And will cast you out from before me, —Just as I have cast out All your brethren, All the seed of Ephraim.
16 Ti se dakle ne moli za taj narod, i ne podiži vike ni molbe za njih, i ne govori mi za njih; jer te neæu uslišiti.
Thou, therefore—Do not pray for this people Neither lift up for them cry or prayer Neither intercede with me, —For I am not going to hear thee.
17 Zar ne vidiš šta èine po gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim?
Dost thou not see what, they, are doing In the cities of Judah, —and In the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Sinovi kupe drva, a ocevi lože oganj, i žene mijese tijesto, da peku kolaèe carici nebeskoj, i da ljevaju naljeve drugim bogovima, da bi mene dražili.
The children, gather wood, and The fathers, kindle the fire, and The women, knead dough, —To make sacrificial cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, Provoking me to anger!
19 Mene li draže? govori Gospod; eda li ne sebe, na sramotu licu svojemu?
Is it me, they are provoking? Enquireth Yahweh, —Is it not themselves, —unto the shame of their own faces?
20 Zato ovako govori Gospod Gospod: gle, gnjev moj i jarost moja izliæe se na ovo mjesto, na ljude i na stoku i na drveta poljska i na rod zemaljski, i raspaliæe se, i neæe se ugasiti.
Wherefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh—Lo! mine anger and mine indignation, are about to be poured out upon this place, On man and on beast, and On the tree of the field and On the fruit of the ground, —And it shall burn and shall not be quenched.
21 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: žrtve svoje paljenice sastavite sa prinosima svojim, i jedite meso.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Your ascending-offerings, add ye unto your peace-offerings and eat ye flesh.
22 Jer ne govorih ocima vašim, niti im zapovjedih, kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, za žrtve paljenice ni za prinose.
For I bade not your fathers Neither commanded I them, In the day I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —Concerning the matter of ascending-offering and peace-offering;
23 Nego im ovo zapovjedih govoreæi: slušajte glas moj i biæu vam Bog i vi æete mi biti narod, i idite svijem putovima koje vam zapovjedih, da bi vam dobro bilo.
But, this thing, I commanded them—saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you—a God, And, ye, shall become unto me—a people, —Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you;
24 Ali ne poslušaše, niti uha svojega prignuše, nego idoše po savjetima i mislima zloga srca svojega, i otidoše natrag a ne naprijed.
Yet they hearkened not Neither inclined their ear, But walked, In the counsels—In the stubbornness of their own wicked heart; And went backward, and not forward.
25 Otkad iziðoše oci vaši iz zemlje Misiriske do danas, slah k vama sve sluge svoje proroke svaki dan zarana i bez prestanka.
Ever since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, until this day, Have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, Daily, betimes, sending them;
26 Ali ne poslušaše me, niti uha svojega prignuše, nego bijahu tvrdovrati i èiniše gore nego oci njihovi.
Yet they hearkened not unto me, Neither inclined their ear, —But stiffened their neck, They did more wickedly than their fathers.
27 Govoriæeš im sve ove rijeèi, ali te neæe poslušati; i zvaæeš ih, ali ti se neæe odazvati.
Therefore shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee, —And thou shalt cry aloud unto them Though they do not answer thee; —
28 Zato im reci: ovo je narod koji ne sluša glasa Gospoda Boga svojega, niti prima nauke; propade vjera i nesta je iz usta njihovijeh.
But thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the nation that hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh its God, Neither accepted they correction, —Perished is fidelity, And is cut off out of their mouth.
29 Ostrizi kosu svoju i baci je, i zaridaj iza glasa na visokim mjestima, jer odbaci Gospod i ostavi rod, na koji se razgnjevi.
Cut thou off thy crown of hair [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, And lift thou up on the bare heights, a dirge, —For Yahweh hath rejected and cast out the generation with which he was wroth.
30 Jer sinovi Judini uèiniše što je zlo preda mnom, govori Gospod, metnuše gadove svoje u dom koji se zove mojim imenom, da bi ga oskvrnili.
For the sons of Judah, have done, that which was wicked in mine eyes, Declareth Yahweh, —They have set their abominations in the house whereon my Name hath been called to defile it;
31 I sagradiše visine Tofetu, koji je u dolini sina Enomova, da sažižu sinove svoje i kæeri svoje ognjem, što nijesam zapovjedio niti mi je došlo na um.
And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn up their sons and their daughters in the fire, —Which I commanded not, Neither came it up on my heart,
32 Zato evo, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad se više neæe zvati Tofet ni dolina sina Enomova, nego dolina krvna, i pogrebavaæe se u Tofetu, jer neæe biti mjesta.
Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be called any more—The Topheth, nor The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter, —And they shall bury in Topheth, for want of place;
33 I mrtva æe tjelesa naroda ovoga biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerju zemaljskom, i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.
And the dead bodies of this people shall become food, For the bird of the heavens, and For the beast of the earth, —And there shall be none to drive them away.
34 I uèiniæu, te æe iz gradova Judinijeh i s ulica Jerusalimskih nestati glasa radosna i glasa vesela, glasa ženikova i glasa nevjestina; jer æe zemlja opustjeti.
So will I cause to cease, From the cities of Judah, and, From the streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and The voice of the bride, —For, a desolation, shall the land become.
