< Jeremiah 11 >

1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, saying:
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Slušajte rijeèi ovoga zavjeta, i kazujte ljudima Judinijem i stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.
3 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Cursed is the man that shall not hearken to the words of this covenant,
I reci im: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: proklet da je ko ne posluša rijeèi ovoga zavjeta,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying: Hear ye my voice, and do all things that I command you: and you shall be my people, and I will be your God:
Koji zapovjedih ocima vašim kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske iz peæi gvozdene govoreæi: slušajte glas moj i tvorite ovo sve kako vam zapovijedam, pa æete mi biti narod i ja æu vam biti Bog,
5 That I may accomplish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered and said: Amen, O Lord.
Da bih ispunio zakletvu kojom se zakleh ocima vašim da æu im dati zemlju u kojoj teèe mlijeko i med, kako se vidi danas. A ja odgovorih i rekoh: amin, Gospode.
6 And the Lord said to me: Proclaim aloud all these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of the covenant, and do them:
Potom reèe mi Gospod: kazuj sve ove rijeèi po gradovima Judinijem i po ulicama Jerusalimskim govoreæi: slušajte rijeèi ovoga zavjeta, i izvršujte ih.
7 For protesting I conjured your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt even to this day: rising early I conjured them, and said: Hearken ye to my voice:
Jer tvrdo zasvjedoèavah ocima vašim otkad ih izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske do danas, zarana jednako govoreæi: slušajte glas moj.
8 And they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear: but walked every one in the perverseness of his own wicked heart: and I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
Ali ne poslušaše i ne prignuše uha svojega, nego hodiše svaki za mislima zloga srca svojega; zato pustih na njih sve rijeèi ovoga zavjeta, koji zapovjedih da vrše a oni ne vršiše.
9 And the Lord said to me: A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Tada mi reèe Gospod: buna je meðu ljudima Judinijem i stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.
10 They are returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to hear my words: so these likewise have gone after strange gods, to serve them: the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have made void my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
Vratili su se na bezakonja starijeh svojih, koji ne htješe slušati mojih rijeèi, i idu za drugim bogovima, te im služe; dom Izrailjev i dom Judin pokvariše zavjet moj, koji uèinih s ocima njihovijem.
11 Wherefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring in evils upon them, which they shall not be able to escape: and they shall cry to me, and I will not hearken to them.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu pustiti na njih zlo, iz kojega neæe moæi izaæi, i vapiæe k meni, ali ih neæu uslišiti.
12 And the cities of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer sacrifice, and they shall not save them in the time of their affliction.
Tada æe gradovi Judini i stanovnici Jerusalimski iæi i vapiti k bogovima kojima kade, ali im neæe pomoæi u nevolji njihovoj.
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda: and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem thou hast set up altars of confusion, altars to offer sacrifice to Baalim.
Jer imaš bogova, Judo, koliko gradova, i koliko ima ulica u Jerusalimu, toliko podigoste oltara sramotnijeh, oltara, da kadite Valu.
14 Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, and do not take up praise and prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time of their cry to me, in the time of their affliction.
Ti se dakle ne moli za taj narod, i ne podiži vike ni molbe za njih, jer ih neæu uslišiti kad zavapiju k meni u nevolji svojoj.
15 What is the meaning that my beloved hath wrought muck wickedness in my house? shall the holy flesh take away from thee thy crimes, in which thou hast boasted?
Što æe mili moj u domu mom, kad èini grdilo s mnogima, i sveto meso otide od tebe, i veseliš se kad zlo èiniš?
16 The Lord called thy name, a plentiful olive tree, fair, fruitful, and beautiful: at the noise of a word, a great fire was kindled in it and the branches thereof are burnt.
Gospod te nazva maslinom zelenom, lijepom radi dobroga roda; ali s hukom velikoga vjetra raspali oganj oko nje, i grane joj se polomiše.
17 And the Lord of hosts that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel, and the house of Juda, which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.
Jer Gospod nad vojskama, koji te je posadio, izreèe zlo po te, za zloæu doma Izrailjeva i doma Judina, koju èiniše meðu sobom da bi me razgnjevili kadeæi Valu.
18 But thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Gospod mi objavi, te znam; ti mi pokaza djela njihova.
19 And I was as a meek lamb, that is carried to be a victim: and I knew not that they had devised counsels against me, saying: Let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more.
A ja bijah kao jagnje i tele koje se vodi na klanje, jer ne znadijah da se dogovaraju na me: oborimo drvo s rodom njegovijem, i istrijebimo ga iz zemlje živijeh, da mu se ime ne spominje više.
20 But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly, and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.
Ali, Gospode nad vojskama, sudijo pravedni, koji ispituješ bubrege i srce, daj da vidim osvetu tvoju na njima, jer tebi kazah parbu svoju.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord to the men of Anathoth, who seek thy life, and say: Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, and thou shalt not die in our hands.
Zato ovako veli Gospod za Anatoæane, koji traže dušu tvoju govoreæi: ne prorokuj u ime Gospodnje, da ne pogineš od naših ruku;
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will visit upon them: and their young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, ja æu ih pohoditi; mladiæi æe njihovi izginuti od maèa, sinovi njihovi i kæeri njihove izginuæe od gladi.
23 And there shall be no remains of them: for I will bring in evil upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their visitation.
I neæe biti od njih ostatka; jer æu pustiti zlo na Anatoæane kad ih pohodim.
