Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been from YHWH, saying,
U početku kraljevanja Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja Judina, dođe mi riječ Jahvina.
2 “Thus said YHWH: Stand in the court of the house of YHWH, and you have spoken to all [those of] the cities of Judah, who are coming to bow themselves in the house of YHWH, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them—you do not diminish a word.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Stani u predvorju Doma Jahvina i svim gradovima judejskim koji dolaze da se poklone u Domu Jahvinu naviještaj sve riječi koje sam ti zapovjedio da im kažeš. I ne izostavi ni jedne jedine.
3 Perhaps they listen, and each turns back from his evil way; then I have relented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
Možda će poslušati i vratiti se svaki sa zla puta svoga, pa ću se pokajati za zlo koje naumih učiniti zbog zlodjela njihovih.
4 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I set before you,
Reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ako me ne poslušate da hodite po Zakonu što ga stavih pred vas,
5 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you, indeed, rising early and sending, and you have not listened,
slušajući riječi slugu mojih proroka koje vam neumorno šaljem, premda ih do sada niste slušali,
6 then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.”
postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i učinit ću da ovaj grad bude prokletstvo za sve narode na zemlji.'”
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH,
I svećenici i proroci i sav narod slušahu Jeremiju kako naviješta te riječi u Domu Jahvinu.
8 and it comes to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah’s speaking all that YHWH has commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, “You surely die!
A kad Jeremija izreče sve ono što mu je Gospod zapovjedio da naviješta svemu narodu, zgrabiše ga svećenici i proroci govoreći: “Platit ćeš glavom!
9 Why have you prophesied in the Name of YHWH, saying, This house will be as Shiloh, and this city is desolated, without inhabitant?” And all the people are assembled to Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
Zašto si u ime Jahvino prorokovao: 'Postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i ovaj će grad biti opustošen te nitko više u njemu neće stanovati?'” I sav se narod skupi na Jeremiju u Domu Jahvinu.
10 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and sit in the opening of the New Gate of YHWH.
Čuvši to, starješine judejske dođoše iz kraljevskog dvora u Dom Jahvin i sjedoše pred Nova vrata Doma Jahvina.
11 And the priests and the prophets speak to the heads, and to all the people, saying, “Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
Tada svećenici i proroci rekoše starješinama i svemu narodu: “Ovaj je čovjek zaslužio smrt jer je prorokovao protiv ovoga grada, kao što ste čuli na svoje uši.”
12 And Jeremiah speaks to all the heads, and to all the people, saying, “YHWH sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that you have heard.
Tada Jeremija reče starješinama i svemu narodu: “Jahve me posla da prorokujem protiv ovoga Doma i ovoga grada sve ono što ste čuli.
13 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the evil that He has spoken against you.
Popravite, dakle, putove svoje i djela svoja i slušajte glas Jahve, Boga svoga: i pokajat će se za zlo kojim vam se zaprijetio.
14 And I, behold, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
Ja sam, evo, u vašim rukama. Učinite sa mnom što vam se čini dobro i pravo.
15 only, certainly know that if you are putting me to death, you are surely putting innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for YHWH has truly sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
Ali dobro znajte: ako me pogubite, krv nedužnu navalit ćete na sebe, na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike. Jer, zaista, Jahve me posla k vama da u vaše uši govorim sve ove riječi.”
16 And the heads and all the people say to the priests and to the prophets, “There is not a judgment of death for this man, for he has spoken to us in the Name of our God YHWH.”
Tada rekoše starješine i sav narod svećenicima i prorocima: “Ovaj čovjek nipošto ne zaslužuje smrt, jer nam je govorio u ime Jahve, Boga našega.”
17 And men from [the] elderly of the land rise up and speak to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Nato ustadoše i neki od najuglednijih u zemlji te rekoše svemu mnoštvu naroda što se ondje okupilo:
18 “Micah the Morashtite has been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he says to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
“Mihej Morešećanin prorokovaše u dane Ezekije, kralja judejskog, i govoraše svemu narodu judejskom: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Sion će biti polje preorano, Jeruzalem ruševina, a Goru Doma ovog šuma će prekriti.'
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear YHWH? Indeed, he appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the calamity that He spoke against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.”
Je li ga zato pogubio Ezekija, kralj judejski, i sva Judeja? Nisu li se pobojali Jahve i nastojali da Jahvu umilostive, te se Jahve pokaja za zlo kojim im se bijaše zaprijetio? A mi, zar da na duše svoje navalimo tako velik zločin?”
20 And there has also been a man prophesying in the Name of YHWH, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesies against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
Bijaše ondje još neki koji prorokovaše u ime Jahvino, Urija, sin Šemajin, rodom iz Kirjat Jearima. I on prorokovaše protiv ovoga grada i zemlje ove kao i Jeremija.
21 and King Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeks to put him to death, and Urijah hears, and fears, and flees, and goes to Egypt.
A kad je kralj Jojakim sa svim ratnicima i zapovjednicima čuo te riječi, tražio je da ga smakne. Čuvši to, Urija se prestraši i pobježe u Egipat.
22 And King Jehoiakim sends men to Egypt—Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him to Egypt—
Ali kralj Jojakim posla u Egipat Elnatana, sina Akborova, s nekoliko ljudi;
23 and they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him to King Jehoiakim, and he strikes him with a sword, and casts his corpse to the graves of the sons of the people.
dovedoše oni Uriju iz Egipta i odvedoše ga kralju Jojakimu, koji ga mačem pogubi, a truplo njegovo baci na groblje prostoga puka.
24 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan has been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Ali Ahikam, sin Šafanov, zaštiti Jeremiju te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.
