Jeremija 20
1 A svećenik Pašhur, sin Imerov, vrhovni nadzornik Doma Jahvina, ču kako Jeremija prorokuje te riječi.
And when Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who also was deputy-overseer in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah had prophesied 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 Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, —and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.
3 A kad sutradan Pašhur pusti Jeremiju iz klada, reče mu Jeremija: “Jahve te više ne zove Pašhur već 'Užas odasvud'.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks, —that Jeremiah said unto him—Not Pashhur, hath Yahweh called thy name, But Magor-missaviv["Terror-round-about"].
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 Yahweh—Behold me! making thee a ["magor" i. e. a] terror to thyself and to all who love thee, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, thine own eyes also, beholding, And all Judah, will I deliver into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon and smite them with the sword.
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.'
And I will deliver up—All the wealth of this city, and All her labour, and All her precious things, —And all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I deliver up into the hands of their enemies, and they will make of them a prey, and take them, and carry them into Babylon.
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, Pashhur and all who are dwelling in thy house, shall go into captivity, —Yea into Babylon, shalt thou enter And there, shalt thou die And there, shalt thou be buried Thou and all who love thee, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.
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.
Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me and didst prevail, —I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me.
8 Jer kad god progovorim, moram vikati, naviještati moram: “Nasilje! Propast!” Doista, riječ mi Jahvina postade na ruglo i podsmijeh povazdan.
For, as often as I speak, I make outcry, Violence and wasting, I proclaim, —Yea the word of Yahweh hath become to me a reproach and derision all the day
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.
Therefore I say—I will not mention him Neither will I speak any more in his name, But then it becometh in my heart as a fire that burneth, Shut up in my bones, —And I am weary of restraint and cannot refrain.
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!”
Because I have heard the whispering of many—"A terror round about!" Tell ye [say they], that we may tell of him, All the men I am wont to salute do watch for my halting, —Peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail over him, and take our vengeance upon 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, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble and not prevail, —They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age-abiding, it shall not 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 Yahweh of hosts—Testing the righteous Beholding the affections and the heart, —Let me see thine avenging upon them, For unto thee, have I laid bare my cause.
13 Pjevajte Jahvi, hvalite Jahvu, jer on izbavi dušu sirote iz ruku zlikovaca.
Sing ye to Yahweh! Praise ye Yahweh! For he hath delivered the soul of the needy, out of the hand of evildoers.
14 Proklet bio dan kad se rodih, dan kad me rodi majka moja ne bio blagoslovljen!
Accursed, be the day on which I was born, —The day when my mother bare me, let it not be blessed!
15 Proklet bio čovjek koji ocu mom dojavi: “Rodio ti se sin, muškić!” i time mi oca obradova.
Accursed, be the man who carried tidings to my father saying, There is born to thee a man-child!
16 Tom čovjeku bilo kao gradovima što ih Jahve nemilice razvali; već u cik zore čuo zapomaganje i poklike bojne u podne,
Making him very glad: Yea let that man be—as the cities which Yahweh overthrew and repented not, —And let him hear An outcry in the morning, and A war-shout at broad noon!
17 jer me ne pogubi u majčinoj utrobi da bi majka bila moj grob, da bi joj utroba dovijeka ostala trudna!
Because I was not slain from the womb, —Nor did my mother become my grave, Nor was her womb great for ever!
18 O, zašto izađoh iz majčina krila? Da vidim jad i nevolju i u sramoti da dokončam dane!
Wherefore was it—That from the womb, I came forth, to see labour and pain; and That in shame should my days be consumed!
