Jeremija 20
1 A svećenik Pašhur, sin Imerov, vrhovni nadzornik Doma Jahvina, ču kako Jeremija prorokuje te riječi.
Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the LORD’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying 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 struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the LORD’s house.
3 A kad sutradan Pašhur pusti Jeremiju iz klada, reče mu Jeremija: “Jahve te više ne zove Pašhur već 'Užas odasvud'.
On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
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 the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill 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.'
Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to 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.”
You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have 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.
LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks 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 cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all 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.
If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
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 have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on 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 as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never 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 the LORD of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Pjevajte Jahvi, hvalite Jahvu, jer on izbavi dušu sirote iz ruku zlikovaca.
Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Proklet bio dan kad se rodih, dan kad me rodi majka moja ne bio blagoslovljen!
Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 Proklet bio čovjek koji ocu mom dojavi: “Rodio ti se sin, muškić!” i time mi oca obradova.
Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16 Tom čovjeku bilo kao gradovima što ih Jahve nemilice razvali; već u cik zore čuo zapomaganje i poklike bojne u podne,
Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 jer me ne pogubi u majčinoj utrobi da bi majka bila moj grob, da bi joj utroba dovijeka ostala trudna!
because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 O, zašto izađoh iz majčina krila? Da vidim jad i nevolju i u sramoti da dokončam dane!
Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
