Jeremija 26
1 U početku kraljevanja Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja Judina, dođe mi riječ Jahvina.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
2 Ovako govori Jahve: “Stani u predvorju Doma Jahvina i svim gradovima judejskim koji dolaze da se poklone u Domu Jahvinu naviještaj sve riječi koje sam ti zapovjedio da im kažeš. I ne izostavi ni jedne jedine.
Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them; diminish not a word:
3 Možda će poslušati i vratiti se svaki sa zla puta svoga, pa ću se pokajati za zlo koje naumih učiniti zbog zlodjela njihovih.
It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
4 Reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ako me ne poslušate da hodite po Zakonu što ga stavih pred vas,
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD, If ye will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 slušajući riječi slugu mojih proroka koje vam neumorno šaljem, premda ih do sada niste slušali,
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending [them], but ye have not hearkened;
6 postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i učinit ću da ovaj grad bude prokletstvo za sve narode na zemlji.'”
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 I svećenici i proroci i sav narod slušahu Jeremiju kako naviješta te riječi u Domu Jahvinu.
So the priests and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
8 A kad Jeremija izreče sve ono što mu je Gospod zapovjedio da naviješta svemu narodu, zgrabiše ga svećenici i proroci govoreći: “Platit ćeš glavom!
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9 Zašto si u ime Jahvino prorokovao: 'Postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i ovaj će grad biti opustošen te nitko više u njemu neće stanovati?'” I sav se narod skupi na Jeremiju u Domu Jahvinu.
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah, in the house of the LORD.
10 Čuvši to, starješine judejske dođoše iz kraljevskog dvora u Dom Jahvin i sjedoše pred Nova vrata Doma Jahvina.
When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S [house].
11 Tada svećenici i proroci rekoše starješinama i svemu narodu: “Ovaj je čovjek zaslužio smrt jer je prorokovao protiv ovoga grada, kao što ste čuli na svoje uši.”
Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man [is] worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Tada Jeremija reče starješinama i svemu narodu: “Jahve me posla da prorokujem protiv ovoga Doma i ovoga grada sve ono što ste čuli.
Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes, and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13 Popravite, dakle, putove svoje i djela svoja i slušajte glas Jahve, Boga svoga: i pokajat će se za zlo kojim vam se zaprijetio.
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
14 Ja sam, evo, u vašim rukama. Učinite sa mnom što vam se čini dobro i pravo.
As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as it seemeth good and meet to you.
15 Ali dobro znajte: ako me pogubite, krv nedužnu navalit ćete na sebe, na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike. Jer, zaista, Jahve me posla k vama da u vaše uši govorim sve ove riječi.”
But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye will surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 Tada rekoše starješine i sav narod svećenicima i prorocima: “Ovaj čovjek nipošto ne zaslužuje smrt, jer nam je govorio u ime Jahve, Boga našega.”
Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man [is] not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.
17 Nato ustadoše i neki od najuglednijih u zemlji te rekoše svemu mnoštvu naroda što se ondje okupilo:
Then arose certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 “Mihej Morešećanin prorokovaše u dane Ezekije, kralja judejskog, i govoraše svemu narodu judejskom: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Sion će biti polje preorano, Jeruzalem ruševina, a Goru Doma ovog šuma će prekriti.'
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
19 Je li ga zato pogubio Ezekija, kralj judejski, i sva Judeja? Nisu li se pobojali Jahve i nastojali da Jahvu umilostive, te se Jahve pokaja za zlo kojim im se bijaše zaprijetio? A mi, zar da na duše svoje navalimo tako velik zločin?”
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear the LORD, and beseech the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
20 Bijaše ondje još neki koji prorokovaše u ime Jahvino, Urija, sin Šemajin, rodom iz Kirjat Jearima. I on prorokovaše protiv ovoga grada i zemlje ove kao i Jeremija.
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
21 A kad je kralj Jojakim sa svim ratnicima i zapovjednicima čuo te riječi, tražio je da ga smakne. Čuvši to, Urija se prestraši i pobježe u Egipat.
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22 Ali kralj Jojakim posla u Egipat Elnatana, sina Akborova, s nekoliko ljudi;
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and [certain] men with him into Egypt.
23 dovedoše oni Uriju iz Egipta i odvedoše ga kralju Jojakimu, koji ga mačem pogubi, a truplo njegovo baci na groblje prostoga puka.
And they brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Ali Ahikam, sin Šafanov, zaštiti Jeremiju te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
