Jeremija 7

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ovo je riječ što dođe Jeremiji od Gospodina:	1 The following message came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 »Stani pred vrata doma Jahvina, objavi ondje ovu riječ. Reci: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, svi Judejci koji ulazite na ova vrata da se poklonite Jahvi.	2 Stand at the gate of the house of the LORD, and there proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who enter these gates to worship the LORD!
3 Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: ‘Popravite svoje putove i djela svoja, pa ću boraviti s vama na ovome mjestu.	3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Reform your ways and your deeds, so that I may remain with you in this place.
4 Ne uzdajte se u lažne riječi: ‘Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino! Svetište Jahvino!’	4 Put not your trust in the deceitful words: "This is the temple of the LORD! The temple of the LORD! The temple of the LORD!"
5 Ali ako zaista popravite svoje putove i djela svoja i ako zaista budete činili što je pravo, svatko prema bližnjemu svome,	5 Only if you thoroughly reform your ways and your deeds; if each of you deals justly with his neighbor;
6 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 –	6 if you no longer oppress the resident alien, the orphan, and the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place, or follow strange gods to your own harm,
7 boravit ću s vama na ovome mjestu, u zemlji koju sam dao vašim ocima zauvijek.	7 will I remain with you in this place, in the land which I gave your fathers long ago and forever.
8 Ali se vi uzdate u lažne i beskorisne riječi!	8 But here you are, putting your trust in deceitful words to your own loss!
9 Zar da kradete, ubijate, činite preljub, krivo se zaklinjete, palite tamjan Baalu i trčite za tuđim bogovima kojih ne poznajete,	9 Are you to steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, go after strange gods that you know not,
10 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?	10 and yet come to stand before me in this house which bears my name, and say: "We are safe; we can commit all these abominations again"?
11 Zar je dom ovaj, koji se zove mojim imenom, u vašim očima pećina razbojnička? Ali ja dobro vidim’« – riječ je Jahvina.	11 Has this house which bears my name become in your eyes a den of thieves? I too see what is being done, says the LORD.
12 »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.	12 You may go to Shiloh, which I made the dwelling place of my name in the beginning. See what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 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:	13 And now, because you have committed all these misdeeds, says the LORD, because you did not listen, though I spoke to you untiringly; because you did not answer, though I called you,
14 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.	14 I will do to this house named after me, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, just as I did to Shiloh.
15 Odbacit ću vas od lica svojega kao što odbacih svu braću vašu, sve potomstvo Efrajimovo.«	15 I will cast you away from me, as I cast away all your brethren, all the offspring of Ephraim.
16 »A ti ne moli milosti za narod ovaj, ne diži glasa za njih i ne moli, ne navaljuj na me jer te neću uslišiti.	16 You, now, do not intercede for this people; raise not in their behalf a pleading prayer! Do not urge me, for I will not listen to you.
17 Ne vidiš li što čine po gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim?	17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Djeca kupê drva, oci pale vatru, žene mijese tijesto da ispeku kolače ‘Kraljici neba’ i lijevaju ljevanice tuđim bogovima da me pogrde.	18 The children gather wood, their fathers light the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven, while libations are poured out to strange gods in order to hurt me.
19 Zar mene tim pogrđuju« – riječ je Jahvina – »a ne sebe na svoju sramotu?«	19 Is it I whom they hurt, says the LORD; is it not rather themselves, to their own confusion?
20 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.«	20 See now, says the Lord GOD, my anger and my wrath will pour out upon this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruits of the earth; it will burn without being quenched.
21 Boga Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: »Paljenicama dometnite još i klanice, i jedite meso.	21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Heap your holocausts upon your sacrifices; eat up the flesh!
22 Ja ništa ne rekoh ocima vašim o paljenicama i klanicama, niti im što o tom zapovjedih kad ih izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske.	22 In speaking to your fathers on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I gave them no command concerning holocaust or sacrifice.
23 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.’	23 This rather is what I commanded them: Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper.
24 A oni ne poslušaše, uho svoje ne prignuše, već pođoše po savjetu i okorjelosti zloga srca svojega; okrenuše mi leđa, a ne lice.	24 But they obeyed not, nor did they pay heed. They walked in the hardness of their evil hearts and turned their backs, not their faces, to me.
25 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.	25 From the day that your fathers left the land of Egypt even to this day, I have sent you untiringly all my servants the prophets.
26 Ali me oni nisu slušali, uho svoje nisu prignuli, nego otvrdnuše, gori od otaca svojih.	26 Yet they have not obeyed me nor paid heed; they have stiffened their necks and done worse than their fathers.
27 Možeš im sve to reći, ali te neće poslušati; zovi ih, neće ti se odazvati.	27 When you speak all these words to them, they will not listen to you either; when you call to them, they will not answer you.
28 Zato im reci: ‘Ovo je narod koji ne sluša glasa Jahve, Boga svojega, i ne prima opomenê. Nestade istine, nestade je iz usta njihovih.’«	28 Say to them: This is the nation which does not listen to the voice of the LORD, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself is banished from their speech.
29 Ostriži svoju dugu kosu, baci je. Po goletima protuži tužaljkom, jer Jahve odbaci i odvrgnu rod na koji se razgnjevio.	29 Cut off your dedicated hair and throw it away! on the heights intone an elegy; For the LORD has rejected and cast off the generation that draws down his wrath.
30 »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;	30 The people of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the LORD. They have defiled the house which bears my name by setting up in it their abominable idols.
31 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.	31 In the Valley of Ben-hinnom they have built the high place of Topheth to immolate in fire their sons and their daughters, such a thing as I never commanded or had in mind.
32 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.	32 Therefore, beware! days will come, says the LORD, when Topheth and the Valley of Ben-hinnom will no longer be called such, but rather the Valley of Slaughter. For lack of space, Topheth will be a burial place.
33 A mrtva tijela ovoga naroda bit će hrana pticama nebeskim i zvjeradi zemaljskoj, i nitko se neće naći da ih poplaši i otjera.	33 The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the field, which no one will drive away.
34 Uklonit ću iz gradova judejskih i s ulica jeruzalemskih radost i veselje: jer će se zemlja ta pretvoriti u pustinju.«	34 In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem I will silence the cry of joy, the cry of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will be turned to rubble.
