< Jeremiah 16 >

1 Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 “You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
Nemoj se ženiti, i da nemaš sinova ni kæeri na tom mjestu.
3 For the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
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 grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
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 For the LORD says, “Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says the LORD, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
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 Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them.
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 Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their 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 “You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”
Tako ne ulazi u kuæu u kojoj je žalost da sjedeš s njima da jedeš i piješ.
9 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the 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 It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘What is our sin that we have 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 then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says the LORD, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshipped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
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 have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.
A vi još gore èinite nego oci vaši, jer eto idete svaki po misli srca svojega zloga ne slušajuæi mene.
13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favour.’
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 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that it will no more be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land 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 but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
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 “Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the LORD, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of 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 For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.
Jer oèi moje paze na sve putove njihove, nijesu sakriveni od mene, niti je bezakonje njihovo zaklonjeno od mojih oèiju.
18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
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, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
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 Should a man make to himself gods which yet are no gods?”
Eda li æe èovjek naèiniti sebi bogove, koji ipak nijesu bogovi?
21 “Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD.”
Zato, evo, ja æu ih nauèiti sada, pokazaæu im ruku svoju i silu svoju, da poznadu da mi je ime Gospod.
