Jeremija 23
1 “Jao pastirima koji upropašćuju i raspršuju ovce paše moje” - riječ je Jahvina.
“Woe to shepherds destroying, And scattering the flock of My pasture,” A declaration of YHWH.
2 Stoga ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, protiv pastira koji pasu narod moj: “Vi ste raspršili ovce moje, rastjerali ih, niste se brinuli za njih. Zato ću se ja sada pobrinuti za vas zbog zlodjela vaših - riječ je Jahvina.
Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, Against the shepherds who feed My people: “You have scattered My flock, and drive them away, And have not inspected them, Behold, I am charging on you the evil of your doings,” A declaration of YHWH.
3 I sam ću skupiti ostatak svojih ovaca iz svih zemalja kamo sam ih raspršio i vratiti ih na ispaše njihove: bit će plodne i množit će se.
“And I gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the lands to where I drove them, And have brought them back to their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied.
4 I podići ću im pastire da ih pasu te se ničega više neće bojati ni plašiti, niti će se gubiti” - riječ je Jahvina.
And I have raised shepherds for them, And they have fed them, And they no longer fear, nor are frightened, Nor are they lacking,” A declaration of YHWH.
5 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - podići ću Davidu izdanak pravedni. On će vladati kao kralj i biti mudar i činit će pravo i pravicu u zemlji.
“Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have raised a righteous shoot to David, And a king has reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
6 U njegove će dane Judeja biti spašena i Izrael će živjeti spokojno. I evo imena kojim će ga nazivati: 'Jahve, Pravda naša.'
Judah is saved in His days, and Israel dwells confidently, And this [is] His Name that YHWH proclaims Him: Our Righteousness.
7 Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje egipatske',
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they no longer say, YHWH lives who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
8 nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji potomstvo doma Izraelova izvede i dovede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao, tako da obitavaju u zemlji svojoj.'”
But—YHWH lives, who brought up, And who brought in, the seed of the house of Israel, From the land of the north, And from all the lands to where I drove them, And they have dwelt on their own ground!”
9 Prorocima. Srce je u meni skrhano, dršću mi kosti, sličan sam pijancu, čovjeku kojim vino ovlada, pred licem Jahvinim i njegovim svetim riječima:
In reference to the prophets: My heart has been broken in my midst, All my bones have fluttered, I have been as a man—a drunkard, And as a man—wine has passed over him, Because of YHWH, and of His holy words.
10 “Jer zemlja je puna preljubnika; zbog tih se ljudi zemlja u crno zavila, a ispaše u pustinji sagorješe. Njihova je trka zloba, a moć im je nepravda.
For the land has been full of adulterers, For the land has mourned because of these, The pleasant places of the wilderness have dried up, And their course is evil, and their might—not right.
11 Da, i prorok i svećenik zlikovci su, čak i u Domu svome nađoh im pakost” - riječ je Jahvina.
“For both prophet and priest have been profane, Indeed, I found their wickedness in My house,” A declaration of YHWH.
12 Stog' će im se puti prometnuti u tlo klizavo: u mraku će posrtati i padati. Jer ja ću na njih svaliti nesreću u godine kazne njihove” - riječ je Jahvina.
“Therefore their way is as slippery places to them, They are driven into thick darkness, And they have fallen in it, For I bring in calamity against them, The year of their inspection,” A declaration of YHWH.
13 “I u proroka Samarije vidjeh mnoge ludosti: prorokuju u Baalovo ime i zavode narod moj izraelski.
“And I have seen folly in prophets of Samaria, They have prophesied by Ba‘al, And cause My people—Israel—to err.
14 Ali u proroka jeruzalemskih vidjeh strahote: preljub, prijevarne putove, jačaju ruke zločincima, te se nitko od zločina svojih ne obraća. Svi su mi oni kao Sodoma, a žitelji kao Gomora!”
And I have seen a horrible thing in prophets of Jerusalem, Committing adultery, and walking falsely, Indeed, they strengthened the hands of evildoers, So that they have not turned back, Each from his wickedness, All of them have been as Sodom to me, And its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
15 I zato Jahve nad Vojskama ovako govori o prorocima: “Evo, nahranit ću ih pelinom i napojiti vodom zatrovanom, jer od proroka jeruzalemskih potječe pokvara u svoj zemlji.”
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, concerning the prophets: “Behold, I am causing them to eat wormwood, And have caused them to drink water of gall, For from prophets of Jerusalem Profanity has gone forth to all the land.”
16 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Ne slušajte riječi proroka: oni vas obmanjuju, objavljuju viđenja srca svoga, a ne što dolazi iz usta Jahvinih;
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “You do not listen to the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are making you vain things, They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of YHWH.
17 govore onima što preziru riječ Jahvinu: 'Bit će s vama mir!' a onima što slijede glas svog srca okorjelog: 'Nikakvo vas zlo neće snaći!'”
Diligently saying to those despising, The word of YHWH: Peace is for you, And [to] everyone walking in the stubbornness of his heart, they have said: Evil does not come to you.”
18 TÓa tko bijaše na vijećanju Jahvinu, tko je vidio, tko slušao riječ njegovu? Tko ju je shvatio te je može objaviti?
For who has stood in the counsel of YHWH, And sees and hears His word? Who has regarded My word, and listens?
19 Gle, nevrijeme Jahvino: jarost provaljuje, razmahuje se vihor silan i svaljuje na glave bezbožničke.
Behold, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone out, even a piercing whirlwind, It stays on the head of the wicked.
20 Jahvin se gnjev neće stišati, dok on ne izvrši i ne ispuni naume srca svojega. U dane posljednje jasno ćete to razumjeti.
The anger of YHWH does not turn back Until His doing, and until His establishing, The thoughts of His heart, In the latter end of the days You attend to it with understanding.
21 “Ne poslah ti proroka, a ipak trče! Ne govorih im, a ipak prorokuju!
“I have not sent the prophets, and they have run, I have not spoken to them, and they have prophesied.
22 Jest, da bijahu na mom vijećanju, moje bi riječi narodu mom obznanili, i kušali ih svrnuti sa zla puta njihova i od zlodjela njihovih!
But if they stood in My counsel, Then they cause My people to hear My words, And they turn them back from their evil way, And from the evil of their doings.
23 TÓa, zar sam ja Bog samo iz blizine - riječ je Jahvina - zar iz daljine nisam više Bog?
[Am] I a God near,” A declaration of YHWH, “And not a God far off?
24 Može li se tko skriti u skrovištima da ga ja ne vidim? - riječ je Jahvina. Ne ispunjam li ja nebo i zemlju? - riječ je Jahvina.
Is anyone hidden in secret places, And I do not see him?” A declaration of YHWH, “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” A declaration of YHWH.
25 Čuo sam što govore proroci koji prorokuju laži u ime moje i tvrde: 'Usnio sam! Usnio sam!'
“I have heard that which the prophets said, Who prophesy falsehood in My Name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 Dokle će među prorocima biti onih koji prorokuju laž i objavljuju prijevaru srca svojega?
Until when is it in the heart of the prophets? The prophets of falsehood, Indeed, prophets of the deceit of their heart,
27 Misle da će svojim snima što ih jedan drugom pripovijedaju postići da narod moj zaboravi ime moje, kao što već oci njihovi zaboraviše ime moje uz Baala!
Who are devising to cause My people To forget My Name by their dreams, That they each recount to his neighbor, As their fathers forgot My Name for Ba‘al.
28 Prorok koji je usnio san neka samo pripovijeda svoj san, a u koga je riječ moja, neka po istini objavljuje riječ moju!” “Što je zajedničko slami i žitu? - riječ je Jahvina.
The prophet with whom [is] a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom [is] My word, Let him truly speak My word. What does the straw [have to do] with the grain?” A declaration of YHWH.
29 Nije li riječ moja poput vatre - riječ je Jahvina - i nije li slična malju što razbija pećinu?
“Is it not thus? My word [is] as fire,” A declaration of YHWH. “And as a hammer—it breaks a rock in pieces.
30 Evo me stoga protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji jedan drugome kradu moje riječi.
Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets,” A declaration of YHWH, “Each stealing My words from his neighbor.
31 Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji mlate jezikom i proroštva kuju.
Behold, I [am] against the prophets,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are making their tongue smooth, And they affirm—an affirmation.
32 Evo me protiv proroka - riječ je Jahvina - koji prorokuju izmišljene snove i pripovijedajući ih zavode narod moj izmišljotinama svojim i lažima. A ja ih nisam poslao, niti sam im što zapovjedio, niti su narodu ovome od kakve koristi - riječ je Jahvina.
Behold, I [am] against the prophets of false dreams,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they recount them, and cause My people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability, And I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And they are not profitable to this people at all,” A declaration of YHWH.
33 A ako te ovaj narod, ili prorok, ili svećenik, zapita: 'Što je breme Jahvino?' odgovori im: 'Vi ste breme Jahvino i ja vas odbacujem' - riječ je Jahvina.
“And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, asks you, saying, What [is] the burden of YHWH? Then you have said to them: You [are] the burden, and I have left you,” A declaration of YHWH.
34 A reče li koji prorok ili svećenik, ili tko iz naroda: 'Breme Jahvino', kaznit ću toga čovjeka i dom njegov.
“And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That says, The burden of YHWH, I have seen after that man, and after his house.
35 Ovako morate govoriti svaki svome bližnjemu i svaki svome bratu: 'Što je Jahve odgovorio?' ili 'Što je Jahve rekao?'
Thus you each say to his neighbor, And each to his brother: What has YHWH answered? And what has YHWH spoken?
36 Ali 'Breme Jahvino' da više niste spomenuli, jer je breme svakome riječ njegova.” Jer vi iskrivljujete riječi Boga živoga, Jahve nad Vojskama, našega Boga!
And you do not mention the burden of YHWH anymore, For the burden to each is His word, And you have overturned the words of the living God, YHWH of Hosts, our God.
37 Ovako reci proroku: “Što ti je Jahve odgovorio?” ili “Što je Jahve rekao?”
Thus you say to the prophet, What has YHWH answered you? And what has YHWH spoken?
38 Ali ako kažete “Breme Jahvino”, ovako govori Jahve: “Zato što se služite riječju 'Breme Jahvino', premda sam vam poručio da je ne izgovarate,
And if you say, The burden of YHWH, Therefore, thus said YHWH: Because of your saying this word, The burden of YHWH, And I send to you, saying, You do not say, The burden of YHWH.
39 ja ću visoko podići i odbaciti od lica svojega vas i vaš grad što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim!
Therefore, behold, I have utterly taken you away, And I have sent you out, And the city that I gave to you, And to your fathers, from before My face,
40 I svalit ću na vas vječnu sramotu i vječnu porugu koja se neće zaboraviti.”
And I have put continuous reproach on you, And continuous shame that is not forgotten!”
