Jeremija 36
1 Četvrte godine Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga, uputi Jahve Jeremiji ovu riječ:
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 “Uzmi svitak i zapiši na nj sve riječi koje ti kazah o Jeruzalemu, Judeji i svim narodima, od dana kad ti počeh govoriti, od dana Jošijinih do dana današnjega.
“Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.
3 Možda će čuti dom Judin o svim nesrećama što sam ih naumio oboriti na njih te će se vratiti svaki sa svoga zlog puta, a ja ću im oprostiti krivicu i grijeh njihov.”
Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Tada Jeremija dozva Baruha, sina Nerijina, i Baruh napisa na svitak, po kazivanju Jeremijinu, sve riječi koje mu Jahve bijaše objavio.
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and at the dictation of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
5 Tada Jeremija naredi Baruhu: “Meni nije slobodno te ne mogu poći u Dom Jahvin.
Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, “I am restricted; I cannot enter the house of the LORD;
6 Idi ti te na dan posta u Domu Jahvinu čitaj narodu riječi Jahvine iz svitka što si ga po mojem kazivanju napisao. Pročitaj ih i svim Judejcima koji su došli iz svojih gradova.
so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the words of the LORD from the scroll you have written at my dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
7 Možda će se vapaji njihovi vinuti k Jahvi i možda će se obratiti svatko sa zloga puta svojega; jer je velik bijes i srdžba kojima Jahve prijeti ovom narodu.”
Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”
8 I Baruh, sin Nerijin, učini sve kako mu prorok Jeremija bijaše zapovjedio da pročita riječi Jahvine u Domu Jahvinu.
So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.
9 U petoj godini Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga, mjeseca devetoga, pozvaše na post pred Jahvu sav narod jeruzalemski i sav narod što mogaše stići iz gradova judejskih u Jeruzalem.
Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
10 Baruh svemu narodu pročita riječi Jeremije iz svitka u Domu Jahvinu, u dvorani Gemarje, sina pisara Šafana, u gornjem predvorju pred Novim vratima Jahvina Doma.
From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.
11 A kad Mikaj, sin Šafanova sina Gemarje, ču iz knjige sve Jahvine riječi,
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,
12 siđe u kraljevski dvor u sobu pisarovu, gdje upravo sjeđahu svi dostojanstvenici: pisar Elišama, Delaja, sin Šemajin, Elnatan, sin Akborov, Gemarja, sin Šafanov, Sidkija, sin Hananijin, i svi drugi dostojanstvenici.
he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
13 Mikaj im kaza sve riječi što ih bijaše čuo kad ih je Baruh narodu čitao iz knjige.
And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
14 Tada dostojanstvenici poslaše Jehudija, sina Netanijina, i Šelemju, sina Kušijeva, Baruhu da mu kažu: “Uzmi u ruke svitak iz kojega si čitao narodu i dođi!” Tada Baruh, sin Nerijin, uze svitak u ruke i dođe k njima.
Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.
15 Oni mi rekoše: “Hajde, sjedi i pročitaj nam!” I Baruh im pročita.
“Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Kad čuše sve one riječi, uplašeno se pogledaše i rekoše Baruhu: “Moramo sve to kazati kralju.”
When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”
17 I upitaše Baruha: “Hajde, objasni nam kako ti napisa sve te riječi.”
“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
18 Baruh će njima: “Jeremija mi je sve te riječi u pero kazivao, a ja sam ih crnilom u knjigu zapisao.”
“It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
19 Tada dostojanstvenici rekoše Baruhu: “Idi i sakrijte se, ti i Jeremija; nitko da ne zna gdje ste.”
Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are.”
20 I, pohranivši svitak u dvorani pisara Elišame, pođoše kralju u dvorsko predvorje i sve mu ispripovjediše.
So the officials went to the king in the courtyard. And having stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported everything to the king.
21 Kralj posla Jehudija da donese svitak: on ga donese iz sobe pisara Elišame i pročita ga kralju i dostojanstvenicima koji stajahu oko njega.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
22 Kralj je sjedio u zimskim odajama - bijaše to u devetom mjesecu - a pred njim stajaše ražarena žeravnica.
Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
23 I kako bi Jehudi pročitao tri-četiri stupca, kralj bi ih rezao pisarskim perorezom i bacao u vatru na žeravnice sve dok cio svitak ne bi uništen u vatri žeravnice.
And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
24 Ni kralj ni njegove sluge ne prestrašiše se niti razderaše haljina kad čuše te riječi,
Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
25 pa ipak Elnatan, Delaja i Gemarja moljahu kralja da ne spali svitak, ali on ih ne posluša.
Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
26 Tada kralj zapovjedi kraljeviću Jerahmeelu i Seraji, sinu Azrielovu, i Šelemji, sinu Abdeelovu, da uhvate pisara Baruha i proroka Jeremiju. Ali ih Jahve bijaše sakrio.
Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
27 Pošto je dakle kralj spalio svitak s riječima što ih Baruh bijaše zapisao po Jeremijinu kazivanju, dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
28 “Uzmi drugi svitak i upiši u nj sve one riječi što bijahu na prvom svitku koji je Jojakim, kralj judejski, spalio.
“Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
29 A protiv Jojakima, kralja judejskoga, ovako reci: Ovako govori Jahve: Spalio si svitak govoreći: 'Zašto si u njemu napisao da će doći kralj babilonski koji će opustošiti zemlju ovu i istrijebiti i ljude i stoku?'
You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’
30 Zato ovako govori Jahve protiv Jojakima, kralja judejskoga: 'On neće imati potomka da sjedne na prijestolje Davidovo, a njegovo mrtvo tijelo bit će bačeno na pripeku danju i noćni mraz.
Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.
31 Kaznit ću njega, i potomstvo njegovo, i sluge njegove zbog njihova bezakonja, i svalit ću na Jeruzalemce i na Judejce sve zlo kojim sam im prijetio, a nisu me slušali.”
I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen.”
32 Tada Jeremija uze drugi svitak, dade ga pisaru Baruhu, sinu Nerijinu, i on po kazivanju Jeremijinu upisa sve riječi knjige koju je Jojakim, kralj judejski, na žeravnici spalio. I k njima je dopisano još mnogo onakvih riječi.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
