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, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Ovako mi reče Jahve: “Načini sebi užad i jaram i stavi ga sebi na vrat.
the LORD says to me: “Make bonds and bars, and put them 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.
Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, 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:
Give them a command to their masters, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “You shall tell 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 men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems 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.
Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him 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.
All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.
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.
“‘“‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the 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,’ says the LORD, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with 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!'
But as for you, don’t listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You 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, so that I would drive you out, and you would 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 brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,’ says the LORD; ‘and they will 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 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 you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken concerning 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.
Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You 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,” says the LORD, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may 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.
Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, the LORD says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the LORD’s house will 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?
Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation?
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 LORD’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of Armies, that the vessels which are left in the LORD’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon.
19 Jer ovako govori Jahve o stupovima, moru, podnožjima i o preostalom posuđu što još ostade u ovome gradu -
For the LORD of Armies says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left 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 didn’t take 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:
yes, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in the LORD’s house, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at 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 there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says the LORD; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”
