Jeremiah 16
1 Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina i reče:
2 “You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
“Ne uzimaj sebi žene; i nemaj ni sinova ni kćeri na ovome mjestu.
3 For the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
Jer ovako govori Jahve o kćerima i sinovima koji će se roditi na ovome mjestu i o majkama koje će ih rađati i o očevima koji će ih imati u ovoj zemlji:
4 “They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
Oni će umrijeti smrću prebolnom, nitko ih neće oplakivati, niti će ih sahraniti. Pretvorit će se u gnoj za oranice, izginut će od mača i gladi, a njihova će trupla biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.”
5 For the LORD says, “Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says the LORD, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
Da, ovako govori Jahve: “Ne smiješ ući u kuću žalosti, ne idi naricati niti ih sažaljevati. Jer ja sam tom narodu uskratio mir svoj - riječ je Jahvina - ljubav i samilost.
6 Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them.
Pomrijet će veliko i malo u ovoj zemlji i nitko ih neće pokopati. Nitko neće naricati nad njima, niti će zbog njih praviti ureza, niti kose šišati.
7 Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Za onog u žalosti neće kruh lomiti, da ga utješe zbog pokojnika, nitiće mu tko pružiti pehar utjehe zbog smrti njegova oca ili majke njegove.
8 “You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”
Ne ulazi u kuću slavlja da s njima sjediš i gostiš se.”
9 For the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Evo, učinit ću da s ovog mjesta i pred vašim očima i u ovim danima iščeznu poklici radosti i veselja i glasovi zaručnika i zaručnice.
10 It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘What is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
A kad objaviš tom narodu sve ove riječi, pa te upitaju: 'Zašto nam Jahve zaprijeti svom ovom golemom nesrećom; u čemu je zločinstvo naše i u čemu su grijesi naši što ih počinismo protiv Jahve, Boga našega?' -
11 then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says the LORD, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshiped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
onda im odgovori: 'U tom što me ostaviše oci vaši - riječ je Jahvina - i trčaše za tuđim bogovima da im služe i da im se klanjaju, a mene ostaviše i Zakona se moga ne držaše.
12 You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.
A vi još gore učiniste nego oci vaši, jer evo, svaki se povodi za okorjelošću zloga srca svoga, a mene ne sluša.
13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
Zato ću vas istjerati iz ove zemlje u zemlju koja vam je neznana, kao što bijaše i ocima vašim. Ondje ćete služiti tuđim bogovima danju i noću: jer neću vam se više smilovati!'”
14 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that it will no more be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
“Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad se više neće govoriti: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz Egipta',
15 but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
nego: 'Živoga mi Jahve koji sinove Izraelove izvede iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svih zemalja kamo ih bijaše prognao.' Vratit ću ih u zemlju njihovu koju dadoh ocima njihovim.
16 “Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the LORD, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
Evo, poslat ću mnoga ribara - riječ je Jahvina - koji će ih uloviti. A zatim ću dovesti mnoge lovce koji će ih goniti sa svih gora, i sa svih brežuljaka, i iz svih pećinskih rasjeklina.
17 For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.
Jer moje oči prate sve njihove putove: neće mi izmaći, niti se bezakonje njihovo može sakriti od očiju mojih.
18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
Dvostruko ću naplatiti njihovo bezakonje i grijehe njihove, jer su truplima svojih grozota oskvrnuli moju zemlju i moju baštinu ispunili gnusobama.”
19 LORD, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
Jahve, snago moja i moja utvrdo, utočište moje u danima nevolje! K tebi će doći narodi s krajeva zemlje. I govorit će: Samu nam laž oci namriješe, Ništavost i Nemoć.
20 Should a man make to himself gods which yet are no gods?”
TÓa stvara li čovjek sam sebi bogove, to nikako nisu bogovi.
21 “Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD.”
Učinit ću, evo, da osjete, da ovaj put zaista oćute moju ruku i snagu moju, i znat će da mi je ime Jahve.
