Jeremija 7

1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:

The word that came to 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 at the gate of Yahweh's house and proclaim this word! Say, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, all you of Judah, you who enter these gates to worship Yahweh.

3 Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa æu uèiniti da stanujete na ovom mjestu.

Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Make your ways and practices good, and I will let you continue to live in this place.

4 Ne uzdajte se u lažne rijeèi govoreæi: crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja, crkva Gospodnja ovo je.

Do not entrust yourself to deceitful words and say, “Temple of Yahweh! Temple of Yahweh! Temple of Yahweh!”

5 Nego doista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i bližnjega njegova.

For if you actually make your ways and practices good; if you completely execute justice between a man and his neighbor—

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.

if you do not exploit the one staying in the land, the orphan, or the widow and do not pour out innocent blood in this place, and do not walk after other gods to your own harm—

7 Tada æu uèiniti da stanujete od vijeka do vijeka na ovom mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao ocima vašim.

then I will let you stay in this place, in the land that I gave to your ancestors from ancient times and forever.

8 Eto, vi se uzdate u rijeèi lažne, koje ne pomažu.

Behold! You are trusting in deceitful words that do not help you.

9 Kradete, ubijate i èinite preljubu, kunete se krivo, i kadite Valima, i idete za drugim bogovima, kojih ne znate;

Do you steal, kill, and commit adultery? Do you swear deceitfully and offer incense to Baal and walk after other gods whom you 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.

Then do you come and stand before me in this house that is called by my name and say, “We are saved,” so you can do all of these abominations?

11 Je li ovaj dom, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim oèima peæina hajduèka? Gle, i ja vidim, veli Gospod.

Is this house, which carries my name, a den of bandits in your eyes? But behold, I have seen it—this is Yahweh's declaration.'

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.

'So go to my place that was in Shiloh, where I allowed my name to stay there in the beginning, and look at 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,

So now, on account of your doing all of these practices—this is Yahweh's declaration—I spoke to you time and time again, but you did not listen. I summoned you, but you did not answer.

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, what I did to Shiloh, I will also do to this house that is called by my name, the house in which you have trusted, this place that I gave to you and your ancestors.

15 I odbaciæu vas od lica svojega, kao što sam odbacio svu braæu vašu, sve sjeme Jefremovo.

For I will send you out from before me just as I had sent out all your brothers, all the descendants 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.

As for you, Jeremiah, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up a lamenting wail or say a prayer on their behalf, and do not petition me, for I will not listen to you.

17 Zar ne vidiš šta èine po gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim?

Do you 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 are gathering wood and the fathers kindling the fire! The women are kneading dough to make cakes for the queen of the heavens and pour out drink offerings for other gods so that they will provoke me.

19 Mene li draže? govori Gospod; eda li ne sebe, na sramotu licu svojemu?

Are they truly provoking me?—this is Yahweh's declaration—is it not themselves whom they are provoking, so that shame is on them?

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.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'See, my anger and wrath will gush out onto this place, on both man and beast, on the tree in the fields and the fruit on the ground. It will burn and never be extinguished.'

21 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: žrtve svoje paljenice sastavite sa prinosima svojim, i jedite meso.

Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel says this, 'Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and the meat from them.

22 Jer ne govorih ocima vašim, niti im zapovjedih, kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, za žrtve paljenice ni za prinose.

For when I brought your ancestors out from the land of Egypt, I did not require anything from them. I gave them no command about matters of burnt offerings and sacrifices.

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.

I only gave them this command, “Listen to my voice, and I will be your God and you will be my people. So walk in all the ways that I am commanding you, so that it may go 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.

But they did not listen or pay attention. They lived by their own stubborn plans of their wicked hearts, so they went backwards, 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 when your ancestors went out from the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent every one of my servants, my prophets, to you. I persisted in sending them.

26 Ali ne poslušaše me, niti uha svojega prignuše, nego bijahu tvrdovrati i èiniše gore nego oci njihovi.

But they did not listen to me. They paid no attention. Instead, they hardened their necks. They were more wicked than their ancestors.'

27 Govoriæeš im sve ove rijeèi, ali te neæe poslušati; i zvaæeš ih, ali ti se neæe odazvati.

So proclaim all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. Proclaim these things to them, but they will not answer you.

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.

Say to them: This is a nation that does not listen to the voice of Yahweh its God and does not receive discipline. Truth is destroyed and cut off from their mouths.

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 off your hair and shave yourself, and throw away your hair. Sing a funeral song over the open places. For Yahweh has rejected and abandoned this generation in his rage.

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 evil in my eye—this is Yahweh's declaration—they have set their detestable things in the house that is called by my name, in order 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.

Then they built the high place of Topheth that is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. They did this to burn their sons and daughters in fire—something that I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.

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.

So see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when it will no longer be called Topheth or Valley of Ben Hinnom. It will be the Valley of Slaughter; they will bury bodies in Topheth until there is no room left.

33 I mrtva æe tjelesa naroda ovoga biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerju zemaljskom, i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.

The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the skies and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten 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.

I will put an end to the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, for the land will become a desolation.”
