Jeremija 11
1 Riječ koju je Jahve uputio Jeremiji:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 “Govori Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
“Hear the words of this covenant, and you have spoken to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
3 Reci im: Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Proklet bio čovjek koji ne posluša riječi Saveza ovoga,
and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
4 riječi koje sam zapovjedio ocima vašim kad sam ih izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz one peći ražarene, govoreći: Poslušajte glas moj i činite sve što vam zapovjedim: tada ćete biti narod moj, a ja vaš Bog,
That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to My voice, and you have done them, According to all that I command you, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
5 da bih ispunio zakletvu kojom sam se zakleo ocima vašim da ću im dati zemlju u kojoj teče mlijeko i med - kao što je danas.'” A ja odgovorih i rekoh: “Tako je, Jahve.”
In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answer and say, “Amen, O YHWH.”
6 I dalje mi reče Jahve: “Objavi riječi ove po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim: 'Poslušajte riječi Saveza ovoga, te ih izvršavajte.
And YHWH says to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, And you have done them.
7 Jer sam ozbiljno opominjao očeve vaše kad sam ih izvodio iz zemlje egipatske i do danas ih neumorno opominjem: Poslušajte glas moj!
For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt—until this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Listen to My voice,
8 Ali oni ne slušahu i ne prignuše uha svojega, nego se povedoše za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga. Zato dopustih da se na njima ispune sve riječi Saveza ovoga za koji im zapovjedih da ga se pridržavaju, ali ga se oni ne pridržavahu.'”
And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they each walk in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.”
9 I reče mi Jahve: “Zavjera je među Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima.
And YHWH says to me: “A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Vratiše se bezakonjima svojih otaca koji se oglušiše na moje riječi, pa trčahu za tuđim bogovima da im služe. Dom Izraelov i dom Judin prekršiše Savez moj koji sam sklopio s ocima njihovim.”
They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel and the house of Judah Have made void My covenant that I made with their fathers.”
11 Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, dovest ću na njih zlo kojemu neće umaći; vapit će k meni, ali ih ja neću slušati.
Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing calamity on them, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried to Me, And I do not listen to them.
12 Onda neka gradovi judejski i žitelji jeruzalemski vapiju k bogovima kojima kade, ali im oni neće pomoći u vrijeme nevolje!
And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried to the gods, To whom they are making incense, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their distress.
13 Jer imaš, o Judejo, bogova koliko i gradova! I koliko ima ulica u Jeruzalemu, toliko žrtvenika podigoste da kadite Baalu.
For the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah, And [for] the number of the streets of Jerusalem You have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make incense to Ba‘al.
14 Ti, dakle, ne moli milosti za taj narod, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, jer ih neću uslišiti kad me zazovu u nevolji svojoj.”
And you, you do not pray for this people, Nor do you lift up cry and prayer for them, For I do not listen in the time of their calling to Me for their distress.
15 Što li će draga moja u Domu mome? Kuje zle osnove. Hoće li pretilina i meso posvećeno ukloniti zlo od tebe? Mogu li te stoga proglasiti čistom?
What has My beloved to do in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And does the holy flesh pass over from you? When you do evil, then you exult.
16 “Zelena maslina lijepa uzrasta”, tako te Jahve nazva. A sada uz prasak veliki plamenom sažiže njeno lišće; spaljene su grane njene.
An olive, green, beautiful, of good fruit, Has YHWH called your name, At the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire against it, And its thin branches have been broken.
17 Jahve nad Vojskama, koji te bijaše posadio, nesreću ti namijeni zbog zločina što ga učini dom Izraelov i dom Judin kadeći Baalu da bi mene razgnjevili.
And YHWH of Hosts, who is planting you, Has spoken calamity concerning you, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make incense to Ba‘al.”
18 Jahve mi objavi te znam! Tada mi ti, Jahve, razotkri njihove spletke.
And, O YHWH, cause me to know, and I know, Then You have showed me their doings.
19 A ja bijah kao jagnje krotko što ga vode na klanje i ne slutih da protiv mene snuju pakosne naume. “Uništimo drvo još snažno, iskorijenimo ga iz zemlje živih, da mu se ime nikad više ne spominje!”
And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That they have devised schemes against me: “We destroy the tree with its food, And cut him off from the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.”
20 Ali ti, Jahve nad Vojskama, koji pravedno sudiš, koji ispituješ srca i bubrege, daj da vidim kako se njima osvećuješ, jer tebi povjerih parnicu svoju.
And O YHWH of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I see Your vengeance against them, For I have revealed my cause to You.
21 Zato Jahve nad Vojskama govori protiv ljudi u Anatotu koji mi rade o glavi i govore: “Ne prorokuj više u ime Jahvino, da ne pogineš od ruke naše!”
Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying, “Do not prophesy in the Name of YHWH, and you do not die by our hands.”
22 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Evo, ja ću ih kazniti. Njihovi će mladići od mača poginuti, sinovi i kćeri pomrijet će od gladi.
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
23 Ni ostatka neće ostati kad donesem nesreću ljudima u Anatotu u godini kazne njihove.”
And they have no remnant, For I bring calamity to the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!”
