Jeremija 27
1 U početku kraljevanja Sidkije, sina Jošije, kralja judejskoga, uputi Jahve Jeremiji ovu riječ.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Načini sebi užad i jaram i stavi ga sebi na vrat.
Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy 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.
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who 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:
And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;
5 Ja sam snagom svojom svesilnom i rukom ispruženom stvorio zemlju, ljude i životinje na zemlji. I ja to dajem kome hoću.
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed right to me.
6 Sada, dakle, sve te zemlje dajem u ruke Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskom, sluzi svojemu; dajem mu i poljsko zvijerje da mu služi.
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve 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.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.
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.
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Ne slušajte, dakle, svojih proroka, gatalaca, sanjara, zvjezdara svojih i čarobnjaka koji vam govore: 'Ne, vi nećete služiti kralju babilonskom!'
Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall 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 a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should 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 nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
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.
I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and 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 will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will 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.
Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
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, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that 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.
Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Ne slušajte ih! Pokorite se kralju babilonskom da ostanete živi! Zašto da ovaj grad postane ruševina?
Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
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!
But if they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19 Jer ovako govori Jahve o stupovima, moru, podnožjima i o preostalom posuđu što još ostade u ovome gradu -
For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels 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 took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and 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:
Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of 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 shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
