Jeremiah, 32

1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. The same is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

1. Rijeè koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji desete godine Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, to jest osamnaeste godine Nabukodonozorove.

2. It was then that the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah, the prophet, was confined to the atrium of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.

2. U to vrijeme vojska kralja babilonskoga opsjedaše Jeruzalem, a prorok Jeremija bijaše zatvoren u tamnièkom dvorištu u dvoru judejskoga kralja.

3. For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying: “Why do you make predictions, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it?

3. Sidkija, kralj judejski, bijaše ga ondje zatvorio, prigovoriv mu: "Zašto si prorokovao: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Gle, grad æu ovaj predati u ruke kralju babilonskom da ga osvoji;

4. And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans. Instead, he will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. And he will speak to him, mouth to mouth, and he will see him, eye to eye.

4. a Sidkija, kralj judejski, neæe umaæi sili kaldejskoj, nego æe biti predan u ruke kralja babilonskoga - usta u usta s njim æe govoriti, oèi u oèi njega vidjeti.

5. And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon. And he will be there until I visit him, says the Lord. So then, if you contend against the Chaldeans, you will have no success.’ ”

5. Sidkiju æe odvesti u Babilon i ondje æe ostati dok ga ne pohodim - rijeè je Jahvina! I ako se budete borili protiv Kaldejaca, neæete uspjeti!'"

6. And Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:

6. Tada reèe Jeremija: "Doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

7. Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: ‘Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy it.’

7. 'Uskoro æe doæi k tebi Hanamel, sin tvoga strica Šaluma, da ti kaže: Kupi njivu moju u Anatotu; ti imaš rodbinsko pravo da je kupiš!'

8. And in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: ‘Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.’ Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.

8. Kako je Jahve navijestio, k meni doðe moj strièeviæ Hanamel u tamnièko dvorište i reèe mi: 'De kupi moju njivu u Anatotu, jer ti imaš pravo na posjed i rodbinsko pravo da je kupiš! Kupi je!' I tada spoznah da to bijaše rijeè Jahvina.

9. And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.

9. Kupih, dakle, tu njivu od strièeviæa Hanamela iz Anatota te mu izmjerih u novcu sedamnaest šekela srebra.

10. And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.

10. Napišem ugovor, udarim peèat, pozovem svjedoke i izmjerim novac na tezulji.

11. And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.

11. Zatim uzmem kupovni ugovor, zapeèaæen prema propisu i uredbama,

12. And I gave the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, in the sight of the witnesses who had been recorded in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the atrium of the prison.

12. predam kupovni ugovor Baruhu, sinu Mahsejeva sina Nerije. Nazoèni su bili: moj strièeviæ Hanamel, svjedoci što su potpisali kupovni ugovor i svi Judejci koji su se našli u tamnièkom dvorištu.

13. And I instructed Baruch, in their sight, saying:

13. Tada pred njima zapovjedim Baruhu:

14. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these writings, this sealed deed of purchase, and this deed which is open, and place them in an earthen vessel, so that they will be preserved for many days.’

14. 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Uzmi ove isprave, ovaj kupovni ugovor, zapeèaæeni i otvoreni, i stavi ih u glinenu posudu da se zadugo saèuvaju.

15. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Houses, and fields, and vineyards will be possessed still, in this land.’

15. Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Još æe se u ovoj zemlji kupovati i kuæe, i njive, i vinogradi!'"

16. And after I had delivered the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:

16. Pošto kupovni ugovor predadoh Nerijinu sinu Baruhu, pomolih se Jahvi:

17. Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, you have made heaven and earth, by your great strength and by your outstretched arm. No word is difficult for you.

17. "O, Jahve, Gospode! Ti stvori nebo i zemlju snagom velikom, rukom uzdignutom! Ništa tebi nije nemoguæe!

18. You act with mercy a thousand-fold, but you repay the iniquity of the fathers into the sinews of their sons after them. The Lord of hosts is your name: most strong, great, and powerful!

18. Tisuæama iskazuješ milost, a krivnju otaca osveæuješ na djeci, potomcima njihovim. Bože veliki i moæni, kome je ime Jahve nad Vojskama!

19. You are great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of Adam, so that you may repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his intentions.

19. Velik si u svojim naumima, silan u svojim djelima! Oèi tvoje bde nad svim putovima ljudskim da naplatiš svakome prema putu njegovu i prema plodu djela njegovih!

20. You caused signs and portents in the land of Egypt, and in Israel, and among men, even until this day. And you have made a name for yourself, just as in this day.

20. Ti koji si èinio znamenja i èudesa u zemlji egipatskoj i u Izraelu, i meðu svim ljudima sve do danas,

21. And you have led your people Israel away from the land of Egypt, with signs and portents, and with a robust hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.

21. ti si izveo svoj narod izraelski iz zemlje egipatske znamenjima i èudesima, rukom moænom i mišicom podignutom, strahotama velikim.

22. And you have given them this land, which you swore, to their fathers, that you would give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

22. Zatim im dade svu ovu zemlju koju si zakletvom obeæao ocima njihovim, zemlju u kojoj teèe med i mlijeko.

23. And they entered it and possessed it. But they did not obey your voice, and they did not walk in your law. And they did not do all of the things that you commanded them to do. And so, all of these evils have happened to them.

23. I oni je zaposjedoše; ali nisu slušali glasa tvojega niti su hodili putem Zakona tvojega. Ništa ne uèiniše od onog što im ti naredi; zato si dozvao na njih sve ove nevolje.

24. Behold, fortifications were built against the city, so as to capture it. And the city was given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, before the face of the sword, and of famine, and of pestilence. And what you have spoken has occurred, just as you yourself discern.

24. Gle, nasipi se veæ primakoše gradu, i bit æe osvojen, i grad æe pasti u ruke Kaldejcima koji na nj navaljuju maèem, glaðu i kugom. Èime si prijetio, evo dolazi. I sam vidiš.

25. So why, O Lord God, are you saying to me: ‘Buy a field with money, and summon witnesses,’ while the city is being given into the hands of the Chaldeans?”

25. A ti mi, Jahve Gospode moj, reèe: 'Kupi novcem njivu i pozovi svjedoke', a grad je veæ predan u ruke Kaldejcima!"

26. And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

26. Tada mi doðe rijeè Jahvina:

27. “Behold, I am the Lord God; I am above all flesh. Can any word be difficult for me?

27. "Gle, ja sam Jahve, Bog svakoga tijela! Meni ništa nije nemoguæe!

28. Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they will capture it.

28. Zato - veli Jahve - grad ovaj predajem u ruke Kaldejaca i u ruke kralja babilonskoga, koji æe ga zauzeti.

29. And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will advance, and set fire to it, and burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they were offering sacrifice to Baal and were pouring out libations to strange gods, so that they provoked me to wrath.

29. Uæi æe u nj Kaldejci koji se bore protiv ovoga grada, ognjem æe ga uništiti i spaliti ga zajedno s kuæama kojima su na krovovima Baalu palili tamjan i lijevali ljevanice tuðim bogovima, mene gnjeveæi.

30. For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, from their youth, have continually done evil in my eyes. The sons of Israel, even until now, have been provoking me with the work of their hands, says the Lord.

30. Jer sinovi Izraelovi i sinovi Judini od mladosti èine samo zlo pred mojim oèima. Doista, sinovi Izraelovi bez prestanka me gnjeve djelima ruku svojih - rijeè je Jahvina.

31. For this city has been a cause of fury and indignation to me, from the day when they built it, until this day, in which it will be taken away from my sight,

31. Grad ovaj, doista, samo mi je na gnjev i srdžbu otkako je sagraðen pa do dana današnjega te ga moram ukloniti ispred lica svojega

32. because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

32. zbog svega bezakonja što ga sinovi Izraelovi i sinovi Judini poèiniše, gnjeveæi me - oni i kraljevi njihovi, knezovi i sveæenici i proroci, Judejci i Jeruzalemci.

33. And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would receive discipline.

33. Okretahu mi leða, a ne lice svoje, iako se neumorno trudih da ih pouèim, ali me ne slušaše niti nauk moj primiše.

34. And they have placed their idols in the house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled it.

34. Postaviše grozote u Dom koji se mojim zove imenom da ga oskvrnu.

35. And they have built the exalted places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may initiate their sons and their daughters into Molech, though I did not command, nor did it enter into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and so lead Judah into sin.

35. Baalu podigoše uzvišice u Dolini Ben Hinomu, i sinove i kæeri svoje Moleku kroz oganj provodiše - što im ja nikad ne zapovjedih; ni na um mi ne pade da bi èinili takve gadosti niti da bih Judu pustio u takav grijeh."

36. And now, because of these things, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to this city, about which you say that it will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:

36. Ipak, ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, o tom gradu za koji vi velite da æe od maèa, gladi i kuge pasti u ruke kralju babilonskom:

37. Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.

37. "Evo, ja æu ih sabrati iz svih zemalja u koje ih prognah - u gnjevu i jarosti svojoj - i vratit æu ih na ovo mjesto da ovdje spokojno žive.

38. And they will be my people, and I will be their God.

38. I oni æe biti narod moj, a ja, ja æu biti Bog njihov.

39. And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons after them.

39. I dat æu im srce jedno i put jedan, da bi me se bojali u sve dane, na sreæu svoju i djece svoje.

40. And I will form an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not cease to do good for them. And I will put my fear into their heart, so that they do not withdraw from me.

40. I sklopit æu s njima Savez vjeèan, nikad se više neæu odvratiti od njih i uvijek æu im èiniti dobro; usadit æu im u srce svoj strah, da se nikad više ne odmetnu od mene.

41. And I will rejoice over them, while I do good for them. And I will plant them in this land, in truth, with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

41. I radovat æu se èineæi im dobro; i èvrsto æu ih zasaditi u ovoj zemlji, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom."

42. For thus says the Lord: Just as I have led over this people all this great evil, so will I lead over them all the good that I am speaking to them now.

42. Jer ovako govori Jahve: "Kao što sam na ovaj narod doveo svu ovu strašnu nesreæu, tako æu na njih dovesti svu sreæu koju im obrekoh.

43. And fields will be possessed in this land, about which you say that it is desolate because there remains neither man nor beast, and because it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.

43. Da, opet æe se kupovati njive u ovoj zemlji o kojoj vi velite: 'Ova je pustinja, bez èovjeka i živinèeta, predana na milost i nemilost Kaldejcima!'

44. Fields will be bought for money, and deeds will be written and signed, and witnesses will be summoned, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south. For I will convert their captivity, says the Lord.”

44. Njive æe se za novac kupovati, pisat æe se i peèatiti kupovni ugovori, pozivat æe se svjedoci u zemlji Benjaminovoj i u okolici Jeruzalema. U gradovima Judinim i u gradovima Gorja, Šefele, Negeba, jer æu promijeniti udes njihov" - rijeè je Jahvina.
