Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
Ovako govori Jahve: “Siđi u palaču kralja judejskoga i objavi ondje ovu riječ.
2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
Reci: Slušaj riječ Jahvinu, kralju judejski, koji sjediš na prijestolju Davidovu, ti i tvoje sluge i tvoj narod koji ulaze na ova vrata.
3 Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
Ovako govori Jahve: 'Činite pravo i pravicu, izbavite potlačene iz ruku tlačitelja! Ne činite krivo strancu, siroti, udovici, ne tlačite ih i ne prolijevajte krvi nedužne na ovome mjestu.
4 For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
Jer budete li se istinski vladali po riječi ovoj, na vrata ovog dvora ulazit će kraljevi što sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, voze se na kolima i jašu na konjima - oni, njihove sluge i njihov narod.
5 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
Ako pak ne poslušate ovih riječi, zaklinjem se sobom - riječ je Jahvina - da ću taj dvor pretvoriti u ruševinu!'”
6 For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
Jer ovako govori Jahve o dvoru kralja judejskoga: “Ti si za me Gilead, vrh libanonski. Ali, uistinu, pretvorit ću te u pustinju, u grad nenastanjen.
7 And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
Spremit ću protiv tebe zatirače, svakoga s oružjem njegovim, nek' posijeku izabrane ti cedrove i u vatru ih pobacaju.”
8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
Mnoštvo će naroda prolaziti mimo taj grad i pitat će jedan drugoga: “Zašto je Jahve tako postupio s ovim velikim gradom?”
9 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
Odgovorit će im: “Jer su ostavili Savez Jahve, Boga svoga, klanjali se drugim bogovima i služili im.”
10 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
Ne oplakujte mrtvoga, ne jadikujte za njim. Radije plačite za onim koji odlazi, jer se nikad više neće vratiti ni rodne grude vidjeti.
11 For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
Jer ovako govori Jahve o Šalumu, sinu Jošijinu, kralju judejskomu, koji kraljevaše mjesto oca svoga i morade otići iz ovoga mjesta: “Nikad se više neće vratiti,
12 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
nego će umrijeti u mjestu kamo ga izagnaše, a ovu zemlju nikad više neće vidjeti.”
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
Jao onom koji kuću gradi nepravedno i gornje odaje diže bez prava; koji bližnjega tjera na tlaku i plaću mu ne isplaćuje;
14 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
koji kaže: “Sagradit ću sebi kuću prostranu i prozračne gornje odaje!” koji probija prozore, oblaže ih cedrovinom crveno obojenom.
15 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
Jesi li zato kralj što se cedrom razmećeš? Nije li ti i otac jeo i pio, ali je činio pravo i pravicu i zato mu bješe dobro.
16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Branio je pravo siromaha i jadnika, i zato mu bješe dobro. Zar ne znači to mene poznavati? - riječ je Jahvina.
17 “But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
Ali tvoje oči i srce idu samo za dobitkom, da krv nevinu prolijevaš, da nasilje činiš i krivdu.
18 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
Zato ovako govori Jahve o Jojakimu, sinu Jošijinu, kralju judejskom: “Za njim neće naricati: 'Jao, brate moj! Jao, sestro moja!' Za njim neće naricati: 'Jao, gospodaru! Jao, veličanstvo!'
19 He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
Pokopat će ga k'o magarca, izvući ga i baciti izvan vrata Jeruzalema.”
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
“Popni se na Libanon i viči, po Bašanu nek' se ori glas, s Abarima buči, jer svi su tvoji prijatelji slomljeni!
21 I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
Lijepo sam te svjetovao u danima mirnim, al' ti mi reče: 'Neću slušati!' Tako se vladaš od mladosti: ne slušaš glasa mojega.
22 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
Sve će tvoje pastire vjetar popasti, a ljubavnici će tvoji u izgnanstvo. Tada ćeš se stidjet' i sramiti zbog sve pakosti svoje.
23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
Ti što prebivaš na Libanonu, ti što se gnijezdiš po cedrovima, kako li ćeš stenjati kad bolovi te spopadnu, trudovi porodilje.
24 “[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
Života mi moga - riječ je Jahvina - kad bi Konija, sin Jojakimov, kralj judejski, bio pečatnjak na mojoj desnici, ja bih ga strgao s prsta.
25 And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Dat ću te u ruke onima koji ti rade o glavi, u ruke onima pred kojima dršćeš, u ruke Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog, i u ruke Kaldejaca.
26 And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
I bacit ću tebe i majku koja te rodila u drugu zemlju gdje se niste rodili; tamo ćete umrijeti.
27 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
Ali u zemlju u koju čeznu da se vrate neće se vratiti!”
28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
TÓa zar je taj čovjek Konija sud prezren, razbijen? Il' posuda što nikom se ne sviđa? Zašto bjehu protjerani on i potomstvo, prognani u zemlju koja im je posve neznana?
29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
Zemljo, zemljo, zemljo, poslušaj riječ Jahvinu.
30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
Ovako govori Jahve: “Upišite za ovoga čovjeka: 'Bez djece. Život mu se nije posrećio. Nitko od potomstva njegova neće sjesti na prijesto Davidov ni vladati Judejom.'”
