Jeremija 27
1 U početku kraljevanja Sidkije, sina Jošije, kralja judejskoga, uputi Jahve Jeremiji ovu riječ.
At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
2 Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Načini sebi užad i jaram i stavi ga sebi na vrat.
This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
3 Zatim poruči kralju edomskom, kralju moapskom, kralju amonskom, kralju tirskom i kralju sidonskom, po njihovim izaslanicima koji su došli u Jeruzalem kralju judejskom Sidkiji.
Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 Naredi im da poruče svojim gospodarima: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov! Ovako poručite svojim gospodarima:
Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
5 Ja sam snagom svojom svesilnom i rukom ispruženom stvorio zemlju, ljude i životinje na zemlji. I ja to dajem kome hoću.
By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.
6 Sada, dakle, sve te zemlje dajem u ruke Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskom, sluzi svojemu; dajem mu i poljsko zvijerje da mu služi.
So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
7 I svi će narodi služiti njemu i njegovu sinu, i sinu njegova sina, dok i njegovoj zemlji ne kucne čas te i njega ne upokore moćni narodi i veliki kraljevi.
All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
8 Ako koji narod, ili kraljevstvo, ne htjedne služiti Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, ne hoteć' se upregnuti u jaram kralja babilonskog, taj ću narod kazniti mačem, glađu i kugom - riječ je Jahvina - dok ga sasvim ne zatrem rukom njegovom.
As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
9 Ne slušajte, dakle, svojih proroka, gatalaca, sanjara, zvjezdara svojih i čarobnjaka koji vam govore: 'Ne, vi nećete služiti kralju babilonskom!'
But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
10 Jer vam oni laž prorokuju samo da vas udalje iz vaše zemlje, da vas otjeram pa da propadnete.
For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
11 Ali narod koji se upregne u jaram kralja babilonskoga da mu služi ostavit ću na miru u zemlji njegovoj - riječ je Jahvina - da je obrađuje i u njoj živi.'”
But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
12 Sve sam to rekao Sidkiji, kralju judejskom, govoreći: “Upregnite se u jaram kralja babilonskoga i pokorite se njemu i narodu njegovu da ostanete živi.
And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13 Zašto da poginete, ti i narod tvoj, od mača, gladi i kuge, kao što se Jahve zaprijetio narodu koji se ne podvrgne kralju babilonskom?
Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Ne slušajte, dakle, riječi onih proroka koji vam govore: 'Vi nećete služiti kralju babilonskom.' Oni vam laž prorokuju.
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
15 'Jer nisam ih ja poslao da vam prorokuju - riječ je Jahvina - nego vam oni laž prorokuju u moje ime, da vas otjeram iz vaše zemlje, pa da propadnete - vi i proroci koji vam prorokuju.'”
For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 I svećenicima i svemu ovom narodu rekao sam: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ne slušajte riječi svojih proroka koji vam ovako prorokuju: Evo, posuđe Doma Jahvina bit će uskoro vraćeno iz Babilona.' Oni vam laži prorokuju.
Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
17 Ne slušajte ih! Pokorite se kralju babilonskom da ostanete živi! Zašto da ovaj grad postane ruševina?
Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
18 Ako su oni zaista proroci, te ako je u njima riječ Jahvina, neka mole Jahvu nad Vojskama da i posuđe što još ostade u Domu Jahvinu i u dvoru kraljeva judejskih i u Jeruzalemu ne dospije u Babilon!
If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
19 Jer ovako govori Jahve o stupovima, moru, podnožjima i o preostalom posuđu što još ostade u ovome gradu -
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
20 što još Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, ne uze sa sobom onda kad odvede u izgnanstvo iz Jeruzalema u Babilon Jekoniju, sina Jojakimova, kralja judejskoga, i sve odličnike judejske i jeruzalemske.
which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21 Da, ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov, o posuđu koje preostade u Domu Jahvinu, u dvoru kralja judejskog, i u Jeruzalemu:
Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22 'U Babilon će ih odnijeti i ondje će ostati sve do dana kad ja odem po njih - riječ je Jahvina. I ja ću sve to donijeti i postaviti na ovo mjesto!'”
‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
