< Jeremiah 11 >

1 This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:
Реч која дође Јеремији од Господа говорећи:
2 “Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].
Слушајте речи овог завета, и казујте људима Јудиним и становницима јерусалимским.
3 Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.
И реци им: Овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: Проклет да је ко не послуша речи овог завета,
4 It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.
Који заповедих оцима вашим кад их изведох из земље мисирске, из пећи гвоздене, говорећи: Слушајте глас мој и творите ово све како вам заповедам, па ћете ми бити народ и ја ћу вам бити Бог,
5 [Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”
Да бих испунио заклетву којом се заклех оцима вашим да ћу им дати земљу у којој тече млеко и мед, како се види данас. А ја одговорих и рекох: Амин, Господе.
6 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.
По том рече ми Господ: Казуј све ове речи по градовима Јудиним и по улицама јерусалимским говорећи: Слушајте речи овог завета, и извршујте их.
7 When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.
Јер тврдо засведочавах оцима вашим од кад их изведох из земље мисирске до данас, зарана једнако говорећи: Слушајте глас мој.
8 But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”
Али не послушаше и не пригнуше уха свог, него ходише сваки за мислима злог срца свог; за то пустих на њих све речи овог завета, који заповедих да врше, а они не вршише.
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.
Тада ми рече Господ: Буна је међу људима Јудиним и становницима јерусалимским.
10 Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.
Вратили су се на безакоња старих својих, који не хтеше слушати моје речи, и иду за другим боговима, те им служе; дом Израиљев и дом Јудин покварише завет мој, који учиних с оцима њиховим.
11 So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.
Зато овако вели Господ: Ево, ја ћу пустити на њих зло, из ког неће моћи изаћи, и вапиће к мени, али их нећу услишити.
12 When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.
Тада ће градови Јудини и становници јерусалимски ићи и вапити к боговима којима каде, али им неће помоћи у невољи њиховој.
13 There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.
Јер имаш богова, Јуда, колико градова, и колико има улица у Јерусалиму, толико подигосте олтара срамотних, олтара да кадите Валу.
14 Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”
Ти се дакле не моли за тај народ, и не подижи вике ни молбе за њих, јер их нећу услишити кад завапе к мени у невољи својој.
15 Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.
Шта ће мили мој у дому мом, кад чини грдило с многима, и свето месо отиде од тебе, и веселиш се кад зло чиниш?
16 I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.
Господ те назва маслином зеленом, лепом ради доброг рода; али с хуком великог ветра распали огањ око ње, и гране јој се поломише.
17 [It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”
Јер Господ над војскама, који те је посадио, изрече зло по те, за злоћу дома Израиљевог и дома Јудиног, коју чинише међу собом да би ме разгневили кадећи Валу.
18 Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.
Господ ми објави, те знам; Ти ми показа дела њихова.
19 [Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].
А ја бејах као јагње и теле које се води на клање, јер не знах да се договарају на ме: Оборимо дрво с родом његовим, и истребимо га из земље живих, да му се име не спомиње више.
20 [Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Али, Господе над војскама, Судијо праведни, који испитујеш бубреге и срце, дај да видим освету Твоју на њима, јер Теби казах парбу своју.
21 It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.
Зато овако вели Господ за Анатоћане, који траже душу твоју говорећи: Не пророкуј у име Господње, да не погинеш од наших руку;
22 So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.
Зато овако вели Господ над војскама: Ево, ја ћу их походити; младићи ће њихови изгинути од мача, синови њихови и кћери њихове изгинуће од глади.
23 I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
И неће бити од њих остатка; јер ћу пустити зло на Анатоћане кад их походим.
