Jeremiah 23
1 Yahweh declares, “Terrible things will happen to [the leaders] [MET] [of my people—those who are like] shepherds of [the people who are like] my sheep—because they have scattered my people and sent them away, and have not taken care of them.
Тешко пастирима који потиру и размећу стадо паше моје! Говори Господ.
2 So, this is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say to those leaders: ‘Instead of taking care of my people and [leading them to places where they are safe, like a shepherd does for] his sheep, you have scattered them. So I will punish you for the evil things that you have done.
Зато овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев за пастире који пасу народ мој: Ви разметнусте овце моје и разагнасте их, и не обилазисте их; ево, ја ћу вас обићи за злоћу дела ваших, говори Господ.
3 But later I will gather those who are still alive, from the countries where I have forced them to go. I will bring them back to their own country, where they will have many children, and their number/population will increase.
И остатак оваца својих ја ћу скупити из свих земаља у које их разагнах, и вратићу их у торове њихове, где ће се наплодити и умножити.
4 [Then] I will appoint [other] leaders for my people, leaders who will take care of them. And my people will never be afraid [DOU] of anything again, and none of them will be [like a] lost [sheep].’”
И поставићу им пастире, који ће их пасти, да се не боје више и не плаше и да не погине ни једна, говори Господ.
5 Yahweh [also] says, “Some day I will appoint for you a righteous man who will be a descendant of King David. He will be a king who rules wisely. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
Гле, иду дани, говори Господ, у које ћу подигнути Давиду Клицу праведну, која ће царовати и бити срећна и чинити суд и правду на земљи.
6 At that time, all the Israeli people [DOU] will be saved [from their enemies], and they will be safe. And his name will be ‘Yahweh, the one who vindicates/defends us.’”
У Његове дане спашће се Јуда, и Израиљ ће становати у миру, и ово му је име којим ће се звати: Господ правда наша.
7 Yahweh [also] says that at that time, people [who are solemnly promising to do something] will no longer say, “[I will do it as surely] as Yahweh lives, who rescued the Israeli people from Egypt.”
Зато, ево, иду дани, говори Господ, у које се неће више говорити: Тако да је жив Господ, који је извео синове Израиљеве из земље мисирске;
8 Instead, they will say, “[I will do it] as surely as Yahweh lives, who brought [us] Israeli people back to our own land, from the land to the northeast and from all the [other] countries to which he had exiled us.” And they will live in their own land [again].
Него: Тако да је жив Господ, који је извео и довео семе дома Израиљевог из северне земље и из свих земаља у које их бејах разагнао. И они ће седети у својој земљи.
9 I am very shocked because of the sacred message that Yahweh has spoken about [what will happen to] the [false] prophets; [it is as though] all my bones shake. I stagger like a man who is drunk after drinking a lot of wine.
Ради пророка пуца срце у мени, трепећу све кости моје, као пијан сам и као човек кога је освојило вино, Господа ради и Његових ради светих речи.
10 The land is full of [people who commit] adultery; and [Yahweh] has cursed the land. Even the pastures in the desert are all dried up, because the people do what is evil, and [the false prophets] use their power to do things that are not just/fair.
Јер је земља пуна прељубочинаца, и с клетава тужи земља, посушише се паше у пустињи; трк је њихов зао и моћ њихова неправа.
11 Yahweh says, “[Yes, even] the priests and the prophets are ungodly; they do wicked things even in my temple.
Јер и пророк и свештеник скврне је, налазим и у дому свом злоћу њихову, говори Господ.
12 Therefore, [it will be as though] the paths that they walk on are slippery. [It will be as though] they are being chased in the darkness, and there they will fall down, because I will cause them to experience disasters at the time that I will punish them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
За то ће пут њихов бити као клизавица по тами, где ће попузнути и пасти; јер ћу пустити на њих зло, године похођења њиховог, говори Господ.
13 [Previously] I saw that the prophets in Samaria were doing something that was wrong; they were prophesying, saying that Baal [gave them the messages that they were proclaiming], and they were deceiving my people.
У пророка самаријских видео сам безумље, пророковаху Валом, прелашћиваху народ мој Израиља;
14 And [now] I have seen the prophets in Jerusalem doing terrible things. They commit adultery and habitually tell lies. They encourage evil people to continue to do evil things, with the result that the people do not stop sinning. Those prophets are as wicked as the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were.
Али у пророка јерусалимских видим страхоту: чине прељубу и ходе у лажи, укрепљују руке зликовцима да се нико не врати од своје злоће; сви су ми као Содом, и становници његови као Гомор.
15 So, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says about those [false] prophets: “I will give those prophets bitter things to eat and poison to drink, because it is because of them that this land is filled with [people who do] wicked things.”
Зато овако вели Господ над војскама о тим пророцима: Ево, ја ћу их нахранити пеленом и напојићу их жучи; јер од пророка јерусалимских изиђе оскврњење по свој земљи.
16 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Do not pay any attention to what those [false] prophets say to you, because they are just deceiving you. They tell you about visions that they have thought/created [only] in their own minds, not about visions that I have given them.
Овако вели Господ над војскама: Не слушајте шта говоре пророци који вам пророкују; варају вас, говоре утваре свог срца, не из уста Господњих.
17 They habitually say to those who hate me, ‘[Yahweh says that] you will have peace.’ And they say to those who stubbornly do what they want to do, ‘Nothing bad will happen to you [because of your doing those things].’
Једнако говоре онима који не маре за ме: Господ је рекао: Имаћете мир; и свакоме који иде по мисли срца свог говоре: Неће доћи на вас зло.
18 But none of them has ever been in a council [meeting] in heaven in order to listen to a message from me. None of them has paid attention to anything that [I], Yahweh, have said.
Јер ко је стајао у већу Господњем, и видео или чуо реч Његову? Ко је пазио на реч Његову и чуо?
19 So, listen to this: I will punish them; it will be [like] a great storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of those wicked people.
Ево, вихор Господњи, гнев, изићи ће вихор, који не престаје, пашће на главу безбожницима.
20 I will not stop being angry until I completely accomplish all that I have planned. In the future, you will understand [all of] this clearly.”
Неће се одвратити гнев Господњи докле не учини и изврши шта је у срцу наумио; најпосле ћете разумети то сасвим.
21 [Yahweh also says, ] “I have not appointed those prophets, but they run [around telling people their messages]. I did not speak to them, but they [continue to] prophesy.
Не слах тих пророка, а они трчаше; не говорих им, а они пророковаше.
22 If they had been in my council [meetings], they would have been able to speak messages from me, and they would have caused people to turn away from committing evil things.”
Да су стајали у мом већу, тада би казивали моје речи народу мом, и одвраћали би их с пута њиховог злог и од злоће дела њихових.
23 Yahweh [also] says, “Am I a God who is only nearby? No, I am a God who is far away, also.
Јесам ли ја Бог из близа, говори Господ, а нисам Бог и из далека?
24 So, no one can hide in some secret place with the result that I cannot see him. I am everywhere, in heaven and on the earth! [That is what I], Yahweh, say!
Може ли се ко сакрити на тајно место да га ја не видим? Говори Господ; не испуњам ли ја небо и земљу? Говори Господ.
25 I have heard those prophets prophesy lies, saying that they are telling people messages from me. They say, ‘[Listen to me tell you] the dream that God gave me last night! I [really] had this dream!’
Чујем шта говоре ти пророци који у име моје пророкују лаж говорећи: Снио сам, снио сам.
26 How long will they continue to do this? How long will those lying prophets continue to prophesy things that come only from their own minds?
Докле ће то бити у срцу пророцима који пророкују лаж, и превару срца свог пророкују?
27 They think that because of the dreams that they tell to each other, people will forget me, like their ancestors forgot about me when they started to worship Baal.
Који мисле да ће учинити да народ мој заборави име моје уза сне њихове, које приповедају један другом, као што заборавише оци њихови име моје уз Вала.
28 Allow those [false] prophets to tell people their dreams, but those who have messages that [really] come from me should proclaim those messages faithfully. I, Yahweh, say [that like] straw and grain are certainly very different, [my messages and the messages from those false prophets are certainly very different].
Пророк који сни, нека приповеда сан; а у кога је реч моја, нека говори реч моју истинито; шта ће плева са пшеницом? Говори Господ.
29 [It is as though] my messages [burn] like a fire; they [strike people’s inner beings like] someone strikes a rock with a hammer and smashes it into pieces.
Није ли реч моја као огањ, говори Господ, и као маљ који разбија камен?
30 Therefore, [I, ] Yahweh say, 'I oppose all those prophets who steal messages from each other and claim that those messages came from me.
За то, ево ме на те пророке, говори Господ, који краду моје речи један од другог.
31 I oppose those prophets who speak their own messages but claim that those messages came from me.
Ево ме на те пророке, вели Господ, који дижу језик свој и говоре: Он вели.
32 I oppose those prophets who falsely say that I told them something in a vision, but they are [only] telling lies that cause my people to sin. I did not send those prophets. I did not even appoint them [to be prophets]. And they have no messages that will benefit my people at all.' [That is what I, ] Yahweh, declare.”
Ево ме на оне који пророкују лажне сне, вели Господ, и приповедајући их заводе народ мој лажима својим и хитрином својом; а ја их нисам послао нити сам им заповедио; и неће ништа помоћи томе народу, говори Господ.
33 [Yahweh said to me], “If one of those prophets or priests or one of the [other] people asks you, ‘What problem has Yahweh told you about [now]?’, you must reply, ‘You are the problem! And Yahweh says that he will abandon you!’
Ако те запита овај народ или који пророк или свештеник говорећи: Како је бреме Господње? Тада им реци: Како бреме? Оставићу вас, говори Господ.
34 And if any prophet or priest or anyone [else falsely] says, ‘[I have] a prophecy from Yahweh,’ I will punish that person and his family.
А пророка и свештеника и народ који рече: Бреме Господње, ја ћу покарати тог човека и дом његов.
35 What you should continually ask each other is, ‘[When you spoke to Yahweh, ] what did he reply? What is he saying [to us]?’
Него овако говорите сваки ближњему свом и сваки брату свом: Шта одговори Господ? И: Шта рече Господ?
36 But stop saying ‘[I have] a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ because those who say that are doing it only because they want people to accept their ideas, and by doing that they distort/change the messages that are from our God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
А бремена Господњег не помињите више, јер ће свакоме бити бреме реч његова, јер изврћете речи Бога Живога, Господа над војскама, Бога нашег.
37 This is what you should ask each prophet: ‘What did Yahweh reply [when you talked to him]? What is he saying [to us]?’
Овако реци пророку: Шта ти одговори Господ? И шта ти рече Господ?
38 If he replies, ‘[What I told you] is a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ you should say to him, ‘You have continued to say, “[I received] a prophecy/message from Yahweh” even though I told you to not claim that you have received prophecies/messages from Yahweh.’
Али кад кажете: Бреме Господње, зато овако вели Господ: Шта говорите ту реч: Бреме Господње, а ја слах к вама да вам кажу: Не говорите: Бреме Господње,
39 So I [, Yahweh, ] will get rid of you [false prophets]. I will expel you from my presence. And I will get rid of this city that I gave to you and to your ancestors.
Зато ево ме, ја ћу вас заборавити сасвим и одбацићу од себе вас и град који сам дао вама и оцима вашим.
40 I will cause people to make fun of you forever. People will never forget that you were disgraced.”
И навалићу на вас поругу вечну и срамоту вечну која се неће заборавити.
