Jeremija 34
1 Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji kad Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, i sva njegova vojska, i sva kraljevstva pod njegovom vlašću, i svi narodi navališe na Jeruzalem i na sve gradove njegove.
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the land of his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:
2 Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Idi i govori sa Sidkijom, kraljem judejskim, i reci mu: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo, predajem ovaj grad u ruke kralja babilonskoga da ga on ognjem spali.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire;
3 Ni ti nećeš ruci njegovoj umaći. Da, bit ćeš uhvaćen i predat će te u njegove ruke; oči u oči gledat ćeš kralja babilonskoga, usta u usta on će s tobom govoriti i bit ćeš odveden u Babilon.'
and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Ali čuj riječ Jahvinu, Sidkija, kralju judejski! Ovo ti poručuje Jahve: 'Nećeš od mača poginuti,
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah: Thus saith the LORD concerning thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword;
5 umrijet ćeš u miru! I kao što su tvoje očeve i kraljeve tvoje prethodnike okadili, i tebe će okaditi i naricat će za tobom: 'Jao Gospodaru!' Ja ti to govorim' - riječ je Jahvina.
thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee: 'Ah lord!' for I have spoken the word, saith the LORD.
6 I prorok Jeremija poruči sve ove riječi Sidkiji, kralju judejskom u Jeruzalemu,
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 dok je vojska kralja babilonskoga navaljivala na Jeruzalem i na preostale gradove Judine - na Lakiš i Azeku, jer još samo oni preostadoše od judejskih utvrđenih gradova.
when the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
8 Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji, pošto je kralj Sidkija sa svekolikim narodom jeruzalemskim sklopio savez da im proglasi slobodu,
The word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9 da svaki pusti na slobodu svoga roba Hebreja i svoju robinju Hebrejku te da više ni u koga ne bude Hebrej, brat njegov, kao rob.
that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free; that none should make bondmen of them, even of a Jew his brother;
10 I svi odličnici i sav narod koji uđoše u ovaj savez pristadoše te svaki pusti na slobodu roba svoga i svoju ropkinju da im više ne robuju. Pristadoše, dakle, i pustiše ih.
and all the princes and all the people hearkened, that had entered into the covenant to let every one his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, and not to make bondmen of them any more; they hearkened, and let them go;
11 A potom se okrenuše i uzeše opet svoje robove i ropkinje koje bijahu oslobodili pa ih prisiliše da im opet robuju.
but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids;
12 Tada Jahve uputi riječ Jeremiji govoreći:
therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
13 Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Ja sam sklopio Savez s ocima vašim u dan kada ih izvedoh iz Egipta, iz zemlje ropstva, govoreći:
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
14 'Nakon sedam godina neka svaki od vas pusti na slobodu brata svoga Hebreja koji mu se prodao i šest godina kao rob služio.' Ali me vaši oci ne poslušaše i ne htjedoše me čuti.
'At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee'; but your fathers hearkened not unto Me, neither inclined their ear.
15 A vi se bijaste obratili i učinili što je pravo u očima mojim, proglasivši slobodu za svakoga bližnjega svoga i preda mnom ste sklopili savez u Domu koji se zove mojim imenom.
And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in Mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before Me in the house whereon My name is called;
16 A zatim se okrenuste i oskvrnuste ime moje, jer je svaki od vas opet uveo svoga roba i ropkinju koje ste već bili oslobodili, i ponovo ste ih prisilili da vam robuju.”
but ye turned and profaned My name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Vi me ne poslušaste da proglasite slobodu subratu svojemu i bližnjemu. I zato, evo, i ja proglašavam protiv vas slobodu - riječ je Jahvina - maču, kugi i gladi, i učinit ću vas strašilom svim kraljevstvima zemlje.
Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ye have not hearkened unto Me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour; behold, I proclaim for you a liberty, saith the LORD, unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine; and I will make you a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 A s ljudima koji razvrgoše Savez moj i ne ispuniše saveza obećana pred mojim licem postupit ću kao s teletom što ga nadvoje rasjekoše te između tih pola prođoše.
And I will give the men that have transgressed My covenant, that have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before Me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;
19 Knezove Judeje i Jeruzalema, dvorjane, svećenike i sav narod zemlje što prođoše između pola telećih
the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf;
20 predat ću u ruke dušmana koji im rade o glavi, a njihova trupla bit će hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 Sidkiju, kralja judejskoga, i njegove knezove predat ću u ruke dušmana koji im rade o glavi i u ruke vojske kralja babilonskoga, koja se od vas bila povukla.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, that are gone up from you.
22 Evo, ja ću im zapovjediti - riječ je Jahvina - i vratit ću ih na ovaj grad, i navalit će na nj, osvojiti ga i ognjem spaliti. A gradove judejske obratit ću u pustinju nenastanjenu.”
Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
