Jeremija 20

1 A svećenik Pašhur, sin Imerov, vrhovni nadzornik Doma Jahvina, ču kako Jeremija prorokuje te riječi.

When Pashur, the sonne of Immer, the Priest, which was appointed gouernour in the house of the Lord, heard that Ieremiah prophecied these things,

2 I Pašhur dade Jeremiju batinati i baci ga u klade što se nalaze kod gornjih vrata Benjaminovih, a u Domu su Jahvinu.

Then Pashur smote Ieremiah the Prophet, and put him in the stockes that were in the hie gate of Beniamin which was by the House of the Lord.

3 A kad sutradan Pašhur pusti Jeremiju iz klada, reče mu Jeremija: “Jahve te više ne zove Pašhur već 'Užas odasvud'.

And on the morning, Pashur brought Ieremiah out of the stockes. Then said Ieremiah vnto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

4 Jer ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo, predajem te užasu, tebe i sve prijatelje tvoje, i poginut će od mača neprijatelja svojih, svojim ćeš očima vidjeti. I svu Judeju dat ću u ruke kralju babilonskom. On će ih odvesti u izgnanstvo u Babilon i mačem pobiti.

For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee to be a terrour to thy self, and to al thy friends, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall beholde it, and I will giue all Iudah into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall cary them captiue into Babel, and shall slay them with the sworde.

5 I sve bogatstvo ovoga grada, sav njegov trudom stečeni imetak i sve dragocjenosti te sve blago kraljeva judejskih predat ću u ruke neprijateljima. Oni će sve opljačkati, ugrabiti i u Babilon odnijeti.'

Moreouer, I will deliuer all the substance of this citie, and all the labours thereof, and al the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Iudah will I giue into the hande of their enemies, which shall spoyle them, and take them away and cary them to Babel.

6 A ti ćeš se, Pašhure, sa svim svojim ukućanima seliti u Babilon. Da, u Babilon ćeš doći i ondje umrijeti i biti pokopan, ti i svi tvoji prijatelji kojima si laži prorokovao.”

And thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captiuitie, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buryed there, thou and all thy friendes, to whome thou hast prophecied lyes.

7 Ti me zavede, o Jahve, i dadoh se zavesti, nadjačao si me i svladao me. A sada sam svima na podsmijeh iz dana u dan, svatko me ismijava.

O Lord, thou hast deceiued me, and I am deceiued: thou art stronger then I, and hast preuailed: I am in derision daily: euery one mocketh me.

8 Jer kad god progovorim, moram vikati, naviještati moram: “Nasilje! Propast!” Doista, riječ mi Jahvina postade na ruglo i podsmijeh povazdan.

For since I spake, I cryed out of wrong, and proclaimed desolation: therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproche vnto me, and in derision daily.

9 I rekoh u sebi: neću više na nj misliti niti ću govoriti u njegovo ime. Al' tad mi u srcu bi kao rasplamtjeli oganj, zapretan u kostima mojim: uzalud se trudih da izdržim, ne mogoh više.

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speake any more in his Name. But his worde was in mine heart as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

10 Čuh klevete mnogih: “Užas odasvud! Prijavite! Mi ćemo ga prijaviti.” Svi koji mi bijahu prijatelji čekahu moj pad. “Možda ga zavedemo, pa ćemo njim ovladati i njemu se osvetiti!”

For I had heard the railing of many, and feare on euery side. Declare, said they, and wee wil declare it: all my familiars watched for mine halting, saying, It may be that he is deceiued: so we shall preuaile against him, and we shall execute our vengeance vpon him.

11 Sa mnom je Jahve kao snažan junak! Zato će progonitelji moji posrnuti i neće nadvladati, postidjet će se veoma zbog poraza, zbog nezaboravne vječne sramote.

But the Lord is with me like a mightie gyant: therefore my persecuters shall be ouerthrowen, and shall not preuaile, and shalbe greatly confounded: for they haue done vnwisely, and their euerlasting shame shall neuer be forgotten.

12 O Jahve nad Vojskama, koji proničeš pravednika i vidiš mu bubrege i srce, daj da vidim kako im se osvećuješ, jer tebi povjerih parnicu svoju.

But, O Lord of hostes, that tryest the righteous, and seest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.

13 Pjevajte Jahvi, hvalite Jahvu, jer on izbavi dušu sirote iz ruku zlikovaca.

Sing vnto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath deliuered the soule of the poore from the hande of the wicked.

14 Proklet bio dan kad se rodih, dan kad me rodi majka moja ne bio blagoslovljen!

Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: and let not the day wherein my mother bare me, be blessed.

15 Proklet bio čovjek koji ocu mom dojavi: “Rodio ti se sin, muškić!” i time mi oca obradova.

Cursed be the man, that shewed my father, saying, A man child is borne vnto thee, and comforted him.

16 Tom čovjeku bilo kao gradovima što ih Jahve nemilice razvali; već u cik zore čuo zapomaganje i poklike bojne u podne,

And let that man be as the cities, which the Lord hath ouerturned and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the showting at noone tide,

17 jer me ne pogubi u majčinoj utrobi da bi majka bila moj grob, da bi joj utroba dovijeka ostala trudna!

Because he hath not slaine me, euen from the wombe, or that my mother might haue bene my graue, or her wobe a perpetual conception.

18 O, zašto izađoh iz majčina krila? Da vidim jad i nevolju i u sramoti da dokončam dane!

How is it, that I came forth of the wombe, to see labour and sorowe, that my dayes shoulde be consumed with shame?
