Jeremija 28

1 Iste godine, u početku kraljevanja Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, četvrte godine, petog mjeseca, Hananija, sin Azurov, prorok rodom iz Gibeona, reče mi u Domu Jahvinu pred svim svećenicima i svim narodom:

In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:

2 “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Skršit ću jaram kralja babilonskoga.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Do dvije godine vratit ću na ovo mjesto sve posuđe Doma Jahvina koje je Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, odavde uzeo i odnio u Babilon.

Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.

4 A tako i Jekoniju, sina Jojakimova, kralja judejskoga, i sve izgnanike judejske, koji dospješe u Babilon, također ću vratiti na ovo mjesto - riječ je Jahvina - jer ću skršiti jaram kralja babilonskoga.'”

And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

5 Tada prorok Jeremija odgovori proroku Hananiji pred svećenicima i pred svim narodom koji bijahu u Domu Jahvinu.

Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.

6 Reče prorok Jeremija: “Amen! Učinio Jahve tako! Ispunio Jahve riječi koje si prorokovao i vratio ovamo sve posuđe iz Doma Jahvina i sve izgnanike iz Babilona.

“Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.

7 Ali čujder i ovu riječ koju ću kazati na tvoje uši i na uši svega naroda.

Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.

8 Proroci koji su bili prije mene i tebe, odiskona prorokovahu mnogim moćnim zemljama i velikim kraljevstvima rat, glad, kugu.

The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.

9 Ali o proroku koji proriče mir možeš istom kad se ispuni njegova proročka riječ znati da ga je zaista Jahve poslao.”

As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”

10 Tada prorok Hananija skide jaram s vrata proroka Jeremije i skrši ga.

Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.

11 I reče Hananija pred svim narodom: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo, ovako ću - za dvije godine - skršiti jaram Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, s vrata svih naroda!'” Tada prorok Jeremija ode svojim putem.

And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

12 A kad prorok Hananija skrši jaram s vrata proroka Jeremije, dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:

But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

13 “Idi i ovako reci Hananiji: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti si skršio drveni jaram, ali ću ja mjesto njega načiniti željezni.'

“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’

14 Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Željezni ću jaram staviti oko vrata svih ovih naroda da ih podvrgnem Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskom, i služit će mu, jer ja sam njemu podložio čak i poljsku zvjerad!'”

For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”

15 I prorok Jeremija reče proroku Hananiji: “Čuj me dobro, Hananija! Tebe nije poslao Jahve, a ti si u narodu pobudio varave nade.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie.

16 Zato ovako govori Jahve: 'Gle, brišem te s lica zemlje! Umrijet ćeš još ove godine, jer si propovijedao pobunu protiv Jahve!'”

Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’”

17 I umrije prorok Hananija te godine u sedmom mjesecu.

And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died.
