Jeremiah 16
1 A message from the Lord that came to me, saying,
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 Don't marry or have children here.
Nemoj se ženiti, i da nemaš sinova ni kæeri na tom mjestu.
3 This is what the Lord says about children born here, and about their mothers and fathers—their parents here in this country:
Jer ovako govori Gospod za sinove i kæeri što se rode na tom mjestu i za matere njihove koje ih rode, i za oce njihove koji ih rode u toj zemlji:
4 They will die from fatal diseases. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies won't be buried, but will lie on the ground like manure. They will be destroyed by war and famine, and their bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
Ljutom æe smræu pomrijeti, neæe biti oplakani niti æe se pogrepsti, biæe gnoj po zemlji, i od maèa i od gladi izginuæe, i mrtva æe tjelesa njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
5 This is what the Lord says: Don't enter a home where people are having a funeral meal. Don't visit them to mourn or to offer condolences, for I have taken away my peace, my trustworthy love, and my mercy from these people, declares the Lord.
Jer ovako govori Gospod: ne ulazi u kuæu u kojoj je žalost, i ne idi da plaèeš niti ih žali; jer sam uzeo mir svoj od toga naroda, govori Gospod, milost i žaljenje.
6 Everyone, from the most important to the least, will die in this country. They will not be buried or mourned; there will be no rites for the dead such as cutting oneself or shaving of heads.
Pomrijeæe mali i veliki u ovoj zemlji, neæe biti pogrebeni niti æe se oplakati, niti æe se ko rezati ni glave striæi za njima.
7 No funeral receptions will be held to comfort those who mourn—not even a comforting drink is to be offered at the loss of a father or mother.
Neæe im se dati hljeba u žalosti da se potješe za mrtvijem, niti æe ih napojiti iz èaše radi utjehe za ocem ili za materom.
8 Don't go into a house where people are celebrating and sit down with them to eat and drink.
Tako ne ulazi u kuæu u kojoj je žalost da sjedeš s njima da jedeš i piješ.
9 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to put a stop right here, while you watch, to any sounds of celebration and joy, the happy voices of the groom and bride.
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu uèiniti da na ovom mjestu pred vašim oèima i za vaših dana ne bude glasa radosna ni glasa vesela, glasa ženikova ni glasa nevjestina.
10 When you explain all this to them they'll ask you, “Why has the Lord ordered that such a terrible disaster should happen to us? What did we do wrong? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?”
A kad kažeš tome narodu sve ove rijeèi, ako ti reku: zašto izreèe Gospod sve to veliko zlo na nas? i kako je bezakonje naše ili kaki je grijeh naš, kojim zgriješismo Gospodu Bogu svojemu?
11 Answer them: It's because your forefathers deserted me, declares the Lord. They went and followed other gods, serving them and worshiping them. They abandoned me and didn't keep my laws.
Tada im reci: jer oci vaši ostaviše mene, govori Gospod, i idoše za drugim bogovima i služiše im i klanjaše im se, a mene ostaviše i zakona mojega ne držaše;
12 You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.
A vi još gore èinite nego oci vaši, jer eto idete svaki po misli srca svojega zloga ne slušajuæi mene.
13 So I'm going to throw you out of this country and exile you in a country unfamiliar to you and your forefathers. There you'll serve other gods day and night, because I won't help you at all.
Zato æu vas izbaciti iz ove zemlje u zemlju koje ne poznaste ni vi ni oci vaši, i ondje æete služiti drugim bogovima dan i noæ dokle vam ne uèinim milost.
14 But listen! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't any longer make vows, saying. “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad se neæe više govoriti: tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje Misirske;
15 Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” I'm going to bring them back to the country I gave their forefathers.
Nego: tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svijeh zemalja u koje ih bješe razagnao! Jer æu ih opet dovesti u zemlju njihovu koju sam dao ocima njihovijem.
16 But for the moment I'm going to send for many fishermen and they'll catch them, declares the Lord. Then I'm going to send for many hunters, and they'll hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from their hiding places in the rocks.
Gle, ja æu poslati mnoge ribare, govori Gospod, da ih love, i poslije æu poslati mnoge lovce da ih love po svakoj gori i po svakom humu i po rasjelinama kamenijem.
17 I see everything they're doing. They can't hide from me, and their sins aren't hidden from me either.
Jer oèi moje paze na sve putove njihove, nijesu sakriveni od mene, niti je bezakonje njihovo zaklonjeno od mojih oèiju.
18 First I'm going to pay them back double for their wickedness and sin, because they have made my land unclean with the lifeless bodies of their disgusting idols, filling my special country with their offensive pagan images.
I platiæu im prvo dvojinom za bezakonje njihovo i za grijeh njihov, što oskvrniše zemlju moju strvima gadova svojih, i našljedstvo moje napuniše gnusobama svojim.
19 Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, my safe place in the time of trouble. Nations will come to you from all over the earth, and they will say, “The religion of our forefathers was a total lie! The idols they worshiped were useless—no good at all.
Gospode, krjeposti moja i grade moj i utoèište moje u nevolji, k tebi æe doæi narodi od krajeva zemaljskih, i reæi æe: doista oci naši imaše laž, i taštinu i što nimalo ne pomaže.
20 How can people make gods for themselves? These aren't gods!”
Eda li æe èovjek naèiniti sebi bogove, koji ipak nijesu bogovi?
21 Now they'll see! I'll show them, and then they'll recognize my power and strength. Then they'll know that I am the Lord!
Zato, evo, ja æu ih nauèiti sada, pokazaæu im ruku svoju i silu svoju, da poznadu da mi je ime Gospod.
