Jeremiah 44
1 The word which came to Jeremiah about all the Jews who were living in the land of Egypt, in Migdol and at Tahpanhes and at Noph and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji za sve Judejce koji življahu u zemlji Misirskoj, koji življahu u Migdolu i u Tafnesu i u Nofu i u zemlji Patrosu, govoreæi:
2 The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: You have seen all the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem and on all the towns of Judah; and now, this day they are waste and unpeopled;
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: vi vidjeste sve zlo što navedoh na Jerusalim i na sve gradove Judine, i evo su danas pusti i nema nikoga da živi u njima,
3 Because of the evil which they have done, moving me to wrath by burning perfumes in worship to other gods, who were not their gods or yours or the gods of their fathers.
Za zloæu njihovu koju èiniše da bi me gnjevili hodeæi da kade i služe drugim bogovima, kojih ne znaše ni oni ni vi ni oci vaši.
4 And I sent all my servants the prophets to you, getting up early and sending them, saying, Do not do this disgusting thing which is hated by me.
I slah k vama sve sluge svoje proroke zarana jednako govoreæi: ne èinite toga gada, na koji mrzim.
5 But they gave no attention, and their ears were not open so that they might be turned from their evil-doing and from burning perfume to other gods.
Ali ne poslušaše niti prignuše uha svojega da se vrate od zloæe svoje, da ne kade drugim bogovima.
6 Because of this, my passion and my wrath were let loose, burning in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are waste and unpeopled as at this day.
Zato se izli jarost moja i gnjev moj, i razgorje se u gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim, te postaše razvaline i pustoš, kao što se vidi danas.
7 So now, the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Why are you doing this great evil against yourselves, causing every man and woman, little child and baby at the breast among you in Judah to be cut off till not one is still living;
A sada ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: zašto sami sebi èinite tako veliko zlo da istrijebite iz Jude ljude i žene, djecu i koja sisaju, da ne ostane u vas ostatka,
8 Moving me to wrath with the work of your hands, burning perfumes to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to make a place for yourselves, so that you may become a curse and a name of shame among all the nations of the earth?
Gnjeveæi me djelima ruku svojih, kadeæi drugim bogovima u zemlji Misirskoj, u koju doðoste da se stanite da biste se istrijebili i postali kletva i rug u svijeh naroda na zemlji.
9 Have you no memory of the evil-doing of your fathers, and the evil-doing of the kings of Judah, and the evil-doing of their wives, and the evil which you yourselves have done, and the evil which your wives have done, in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeste li zaboravili zla otaca svojih i zla careva Judinijeh i zla žena njihovijeh, i svoja zla i zla žena svojih, koja èiniše u zemlji Judinoj i po ulicama Jerusalimskim?
10 Even to this day their hearts are not broken, and they have no fear, and have not gone in the way of my law or of my rules which I gave to you and to your fathers.
Ne pokoriše se do danas niti se pobojaše, niti hodiše po mom zakonu i uredbama mojim, koje stavih pred vas i pred oce vaše.
11 So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my face will be turned against you for evil, for the cutting off of all Judah;
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu vam obratiti lice svoje na zlo, da istrijebim sve Judejce.
12 And I will take the last of Judah, whose minds are fixed on going into the land of Egypt and stopping there, and they will all come to their end, falling in the land of Egypt by the sword and by being short of food and by disease; death will overtake them, from the least to the greatest, death by the sword and by need of food: they will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame.
I uzeæu ostatak Judin, koji okrenu lice svoje da ide u zemlju Misirsku da se ondje stani, i izginuæe svi; u zemlji æe Misirskoj pasti i izginuti od maèa i od gladi, malo i veliko, izginuæe od maèa i od gladi, i biæe uklin i èudo i prokletstvo i rug.
13 For I will send punishment on those who are living in the land of Egypt, as I have sent punishment on Jerusalem, by the sword and by need of food and by disease:
I pohodiæu one koji nastavaju u zemlji Misirskoj, kao što sam pohodio Jerusalim, maèem, glaðu i pomorom;
14 So that not one of the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will get away or keep his life, to come back to the land of Judah where they are hoping to come back and be living again: for not one will come back, but only those who are able to get away.
I nijedan od ostatka Judina, što otidoše u zemlju Misirsku da se ondje stane, neæe uteæi niti se izbaviti da se vrate u zemlju Judinu, u koju se žele vratiti da se nasele; jer se neæe vratiti, osim koji pobjegnu.
15 Then all the men who had knowledge that their wives were burning perfumes to other gods, and all the women who were present, a great meeting, answering Jeremiah, said,
Tada odgovoriše Jeremiji svi ljudi koji znaðahu da žene njihove kade drugim bogovima, i sve žene, kojih stajaše ondje velik zbor, i sav narod što življaše u zemlji Misirskoj, u Patrosu, govoreæi:
16 As for the word which you have said to us in the name of the Lord, we will not give ear to you.
Što nam kaza u ime Gospodnje, neæemo te poslušati;
17 But we will certainly do every word which has gone out of our mouths, burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her as we did, we and our fathers and our kings and our rulers, in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then we had food enough and did well and saw no evil.
Nego æemo èiniti sve što je izašlo iz naših usta kadeæi carici nebeskoj i ljevajuæi joj naljeve, kao što smo èinili mi i oci naši, carevi naši i knezovi naši po gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim, jer bijasmo siti hljeba i bijaše nam dobro i zla ne viðasmo.
18 But from the time when we gave up burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, we have been in need of all things, and have been wasted by the sword and by need of food.
A otkad prestasmo kaditi carici nebeskoj i ljevati joj naljeve, ništa nemamo i ginemo od maèa i od gladi.
19 And the women said, When we were burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes in her image and give her our drink offerings without the knowledge of our husbands?
I kad kadimo carici nebeskoj i ljevamo joj naljeve, eda li joj bez glavara svojih peèemo kolaèe služeæi joj i ljevamo joj naljeve?
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and women and all the people who had given him that answer,
Tada reèe Jeremija svemu narodu, ljudima i ženama, i svemu narodu, koji mu onako odgovoriše, govoreæi:
21 The perfumes which you have been burning in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers and your kings and your rulers and the people of the land, had the Lord no memory of them, and did he not keep them in mind?
Eda li se ne opomenu Gospod kada, kojim kadiste u gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim vi i oci vaši, carevi vaši i knezovi vaši i narod zemaljski? i ne doðe li mu u srce?
22 And the Lord was no longer able to put up with the evil of your doings and the disgusting things you did; and because of this your land has become a waste and a cause of wonder and a curse, with no one living in it, as at this day.
I ne može Gospod više podnositi zloæe djela vaših i gadova koje èiniste, te zemlja vaša posta pustoš i èudo i prokletstvo, da niko ne živi u njoj, kako se vidi danas.
23 Because you have been burning perfumes, and sinning against the Lord, and have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, or gone in the way of his law or his rules or his orders; for this reason this evil has come on you, as it is today.
Zato što kadiste i što griješiste Gospodu i ne slušaste glasa Gospodnjega, i po zakonu njegovu i uredbama njegovijem i svjedoèanstvima njegovijem ne hodiste, zato vas zadesi ovo zlo, kako se vidi danas.
24 Further, Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all those of Judah who are living in Egypt:
Još reèe Jeremija svemu narodu i svijem ženama: èujte rijeè Gospodnju, svi Judejci, koji ste u zemlji Misirskoj.
25 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: You women have said with your mouths, and with your hands you have done what you said, We will certainly give effect to the oaths we have made, to have perfumes burned to the queen of heaven and drink offerings drained out to her: then give effect to your oaths and do them.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev govoreæi: vi i žene vaše rekoste ustima svojim i rukama svojim izvršiste govoreæi: izvršivaæemo zavjete svoje što zavjetovasmo kadeæi carici nebeskoj i ljevajuæi joj naljeve. Doista ispuniste zavjete svoje i izvršiste.
26 And now give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who are living in the land of Egypt: Truly, I have taken an oath by my great name, says the Lord, that my name is no longer to be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, By the life of the Lord God.
Zato èujte Judejci rijeè Gospodnju, svi Judejci koji stanujete u zemlji Misirskoj: evo, ja se zaklinjem velikim imenom svojim, veli Gospod, da se ime moje neæe više izricati ustima nijednoga Judejca u svoj zemlji Misirskoj da bi rekao: tako da je živ Gospod Gospod!
27 See, I am watching over them for evil and not for good: all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be wasted by the sword and by need of food till there is an end of them.
Evo, ja æu paziti na njih zla radi, ne dobra radi, i Judejci koji su u zemlji Misirskoj svi æe ginuti od maèa i od gladi, dokle ih ne bude nijednoga.
28 And those who get away safe from the sword will come back from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, a very small number; and all the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will see whose word has effect, mine or theirs.
A koji uteku od maèa, vratiæe se iz zemlje Misirske u zemlju Judinu, malo njih, jer sav ostatak Judin, što otidoše u zemlju Misirsku da se ondje nastane, poznaæe èija æe se rijeè navršiti, moja ili njihova.
29 And this will be the sign to you, says the Lord, that I will give you punishment in this place, so that you may see that my words will certainly have effect against you for evil:
A ovo da vam je znak, govori Gospod, da æu vas pohoditi na tom mjestu da znate da æe se doista ispuniti rijeèi moje vama na zlo;
30 The Lord has said, See, I will give up Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, into the hands of those who are fighting against him and desiring to take his life, as I gave Zedekiah, king of Judah, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, his hater, who had designs against his life.
Ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu dati Faraona Vafrija cara Misirskoga u ruke neprijateljima njegovijem i u ruke onijem koji traže dušu njegovu, kao što sam dao Sedekiju cara Judina u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, neprijatelju njegovu i koji tražaše dušu njegovu.
