Jeremias 33
1 IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.
Dok je Jeremija bio još zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu, i drugi mu put dođe riječ Jahvina:
2 Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and thou shalt declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded thee to speak to them; abate not one word.
“Ovako govori Jahve, koji stvori zemlju, oblikova je i učvrsti - ime mu je Jahve!
3 Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.
Zazovi me, i odazvat ću ti se i objavit ću ti velike i nedokučive tajne o kojima ništa ne znaš.
4 And thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,
Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, o kućama ovoga grada i o dvorima kraljeva judejskih, porušenim zbog nasipa i mača,
5 to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yea, I sent them, but ye hearkened not to me;
i o onima što zameću borbu s Kaldejcima da napune svoje kuće tjelesima ljudi koje pobih u srdžbi i jarosti svojoj, i odvratih lice svoje od ovoga grada zbog njihove opakosti.
6 then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.
Evo, ja ću zaliječiti njihovu ranu, ja ću ih iscijeliti i ozdraviti i pružiti im obilje istinskoga mira.
7 And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
Promijenit ću udes zemlje Judine i Jeruzalema i podići ću ih da budu kao nekoć.
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,
Očistit ću ih od svakoga grijeha kojim sagriješiše protiv mene i oprostit ću im sve krivice koje mi skriviše odmetnuv se od mene.
9 Thou shalt surely die, because thou hast prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.
I Jeruzalem će mi biti na radost, na hvalu i čast pred svim narodima svijeta: kad čuju za sve dobro kojim ću ih nadijeliti, divit će se i čuditi svoj onoj sreći i miru što ću im ja dati.”
10 And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Na ovome mjestu o kojemu vi velite: 'To je pustinja bez čovjeka i bez živinčeta' - u gradovima judejskim i po opustošenim ulicama jeruzalemskim opet će se oriti
11 Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
poklici radosti, poklici zaručnika i zaručnice, poklici onih koji će u Domu Jahvinu prinositi žrtve zahvalnice pjevajući: 'Hvalite Jahvu nad Vojskama, jer je dobar Jahve - vječna je ljubav njegova!' Jer ja ću obnoviti zemlju da bude kao nekoć” - riječ je Jahvina.
12 Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which ye have heard.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Na ovome mjestu koje je sada pusto, bez čovjeka i bez živinčeta, i u svim gradovima opet će biti pašnjaci za pastire što odmaraju stada svoja.
13 And now amend your ways and your works, and hearken to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.
U gradovima Gorja, i u gradovima Šefele, i u gradovima Negeba, u kraju Benjaminovu, u okolici Jeruzalema i u gradovima Judinim opet će prolaziti ovce ispod ruke pastira koji će ih brojiti” - riječ je Jahvina.
14 And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.
“Evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću ispuniti dobro obećanje što ga dadoh domu Izraelovu i domu Judinu:
15 But know for a certainty, that if ye slay me, ye bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.
U one dane i u vrijeme ono podići ću Davidu izdanak pravedni; on će zemljom vladati po pravu i pravici.
16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
U one dane Judeja će biti spašena, Jeruzalem će živjeti spokojno. A grad će se zvati: 'Jahve, Pravda naša.'
17 And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Nikada Davidu neće nestati potomka koji će sjediti na prijestolju doma Izraelova.
18 Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus saith the Lord; Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.
I nikada neće levitima i svećenicima nestati potomaka koji će služiti preda mnom i prinositi paljenice, kaditi prinosnice i prikazivati klanice u sve dane.”
19 Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way slay him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.
I dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
20 And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Ako možete razvrći savez moj s danom i savez moj s noći, tako da ni dana ni noći više ne bude u pravo vrijeme,
21 And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to slay him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.
moći će se raskinuti i Savez moj sa slugom mojim Davidom te više neće imati sina koji bi kraljevao na prijestolju njegovu i s levitima i svećenicima koji mi služe.
22 And the king sent men into Egypt;
Kao što se vojska nebeska ne može izbrojiti ni izmjeriti pijesak morski, tako ću umnožiti potomstvo sluge svojega Davida i levite i svećenike koji mi služe.”
23 and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he smote him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.
I dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
24 Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.
“Nisi li opazio što ovi ljudi govore: 'Jahve je odbacio obadva plemena koja je bio sebi izabrao?' I s prezirom poriču narod moj kao da mi više nije narod.”
Ovako govori Jahve: “Da ne sklopih saveza svojega s danom i noći i da ne postavih zakone nebu i zemlji,
mogao bih odbaciti potomstvo Jakova i Davida, sluge svojega, da više ne uzimam potomka njihova za vladara nad potomstvom Abrahamovim, Izakovim i Jakovljevim, kad promijenim udes njihov i kad im se smilujem.”
