Jeremiah 7
1 The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Ovo je riječ što dođe Jeremiji od Gospodina:
2 Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
“Stani pred vrata Doma Jahvina, objavi ondje ovu riječ. Reci: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, svi Judejci koji ulazite na ova vrata da se poklonite Jahvi.
3 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa ću boraviti s vama na ovome mjestu.
4 Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
Ne uzdajte se u lažne riječi: 'Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino!'
5 For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
Ali ako zaista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja i ako zaista budete činili što je pravo, svatko prema bližnjemu svome,
6 And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
ako ne budete tlačili stranca, sirote i udovice i ne budete prolijevali krvi nedužne na ovome mjestu, ako ne budete trčali za tuđim bogovima na svoju nesreću -
7 Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
boravit ću s vama na ovome mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao vašim ocima zauvijek.
8 Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
Ali se vi uzdate u lažne i beskorisne riječi!
9 Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
Zar da kradete, ubijate, činite preljub, krivo se zaklinjete, palite tamjan Baalu i trčite za tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznajete,
10 And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
a onda da dolazite i stojite preda mnom u Domu ovome koji nosi moje ime i govorite: 'Spašeni smo!' i da nakon toga opet činite nedjela i opačine?
11 Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
Zar je Dom ovaj, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim očima pećina razbojnička? Ali ja dobro vidim” - riječ je Jahvina.
12 But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
“Pođite, dakle, na moje mjesto koje je u Šilu, gdje nekoć nastanih ime svoje, i pogledajte što od njega učinih zbog opačina naroda svoga izraelskoga.
13 Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
Kako činite sva ona ista nedjela - riječ je Jahvina - i premda vas neumorno opominjem, vi ne slušate, a kad vas zovem, vi se ne odazivate:
14 Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
od ovoga Doma što se zove mojim imenom, u koje se vi uzdate, i od ovoga mjesta što ga dadoh vama i ocima vašim učinit ću isto što sam učinio i od Šila.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
Odbacit ću vas od lica svojega kao što odbacih svu braću vašu, sve potomstvo Efrajimovo.”
16 Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
“A ti ne moli milosti za narod ovaj, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, ne navaljuj na me jer te neću uslišiti.
17 Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
Ne vidiš li što čine po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
Djeca kupe drva, oci pale vatru, žene mijese tijesto da ispeku kolače 'kraljici neba' i lijevaju ljevanice tuđim bogovima da me pogrde.
19 Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
Zar mene tim pogrđuju - riječ je Jahvina - a ne sebe na svoju sramotu?”
20 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
I stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo, gnjev svoj i jarost svoju izlit ću na ovo mjesto, na ljude i na stoku, na poljsko drveće i na plodove zemlje, rasplamtjet će se i neće se ugasiti.”
21 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Paljenicama dometnite još i klanice, i jedite meso.
22 For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
Ja ništa ne rekoh ocima vašim o paljenicama i klanicama, niti im što o tom zapovjedih kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske.
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
Ovo im ja zapovjedih: 'Slušajte glas moj, pa ću ja biti vaš Bog, a vi ćete biti moj narod. Idite putem kojim vam zapovjedih, da vam dobro bude.'
24 But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
A oni ne poslušaše, uho svoje ne prignuše, već pođoše po savjetu i okorjelosti zloga srca svojega; okrenuše mi leđa, a ne lice.
25 Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
Od dana kad oci vaši iziđoše iz zemlje egipatske pa do dana današnjeg slao sam vam tolike sluge svoje, proroke, iz dana u dan, neumorno.
26 Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
Ali me oni nisu slušali, uho svoje nisu prignuli, nego otvrdnuše, gori od otaca svojih.
27 Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
Možeš im sve to reći, ali te neće poslušati; zovi ih, neće ti se odazvati.
28 But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
Zato im reci: 'Ovo je narod koji ne sluša glasa Jahve, Boga svojega, i ne prima opomenÄe. Nestade istine, nestade je iz usta njihovih.'”
29 Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Ostriži svoju dugu kosu, baci je. Po goletima protuži tužaljkom, jer Jahve odbaci i odvrgnu rod na koji se razgnjevio.
30 For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
“Da, sinovi Judini čine što je zlo u očima mojim” - riječ je Jahvina. “Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom, da ga oskvrnu;
31 And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
podigoše uzvišice tofetske u Dolini Ben Hinomu i spaljuju vatrom svoje sinove i kćeri - što im ja nikad ne zapovjedih niti mi to ikada na um pade.
32 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
Stoga evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće reći Tofet ni Dolina Ben Hinom, nego Dolina klanja. U Tofetu će se pokapati mrtvi, jer drugdje neće biti mjesta.
33 And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
A mrtva tijela ovoga naroda bit će hrana pticama nebeskim i zvjeradi zemaljskoj, i nitko se neće naći da ih poplaši i otjera.
34 Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
Uklonit ću iz gradova judejskih i s ulica jeruzalemskih radost i veselje: jer će se zemlja ta pretvoriti u pustinju.”
