Jeremiah 34
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH—and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his force, and all kingdoms of the land of the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all its cities—saying:
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.
2 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Go, and you have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah, and have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he has burned it with fire,
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.
3 and you do not escape out of his hand, for you are certainly caught, and you are given into his hand, and your eyes see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth speaks with your mouth, and you enter Babylon.
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.'
4 Only, hear a word of YHWH, O Zedekiah king of Judah—thus said YHWH to you: You do not die by sword,
Ali čuj riječ Jahvinu, Sidkija, kralju judejski! Ovo ti poručuje Jahve: 'Nećeš od mača poginuti,
5 you die in peace, and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who have been before you, so they make a burning for you; and, Oh, lord, they lament for you, for the word I have spoken—a declaration of YHWH.”
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.
6 And Jeremiah the prophet speaks all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
I prorok Jeremija poruči sve ove riječi Sidkiji, kralju judejskom u Jeruzalemu,
7 and the forces of the king of Babylon are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that are left—against Lachish, and against Azekah, for these have been left among the cities of Judah, cities of fortresses.
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.
8 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, after the making of a covenant by King Zedekiah with all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji, pošto je kralj Sidkija sa svekolikim narodom jeruzalemskim sklopio savez da im proglasi slobodu,
9 to each send out his manservant, and each his maidservant—the Hebrew and the Hebrewess—free, so as not to lay service on them—on any Jew, a brother, a man;
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.
10 and all the heads listen, and all the people who have come into the covenant to each send forth his manservant and each his maidservant free, so as not to lay service on them anymore, indeed, they listen, and send them away;
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.
11 and they turn afterward, and cause the menservants and the maidservants to return, whom they had sent forth free, and they subdue them for menservants and for maidservants.
A potom se okrenuše i uzeše opet svoje robove i ropkinje koje bijahu oslobodili pa ih prisiliše da im opet robuju.
12 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Tada Jahve uputi riječ Jeremiji govoreći:
13 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day of My bringing them forth from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants, saying,
Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Ja sam sklopio Savez s ocima vašim u dan kada ih izvedoh iz Egipta, iz zemlje ropstva, govoreći:
14 At the end of seven years you each send forth his brother, the Hebrew, who is sold to you, and has served you six years, indeed, you have sent him forth from you free: and your fathers did not listen to Me, nor inclined their ear.
'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.
15 And today you turn back and you do that which is right in My eyes, to each proclaim liberty to his neighbor, and you make a covenant before Me in the house over which My Name is called.
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.
16 And you turn back, and defile My Name, and you each cause his manservant and each his maidservant, whom he had sent forth free (at their pleasure), to return, and you subdue them to be for menservants and for maidservants to you.”
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.”
17 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “You have not listened to Me to proclaim freedom, each to his brother, and each to his neighbor; behold, I am proclaiming to you liberty,” a declaration of YHWH, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I have given you for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth.
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.
18 And I have given the men who are transgressing My covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant that they have made before Me, by the calf, that they have cut in two, and pass through between its pieces—
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.
19 heads of Judah, and heads of Jerusalem, the officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land who had passed through between the pieces of the calf—
Knezove Judeje i Jeruzalema, dvorjane, svećenike i sav narod zemlje što prođoše između pola telećih
20 indeed, I have given them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and their carcass has been for food to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth.
predat ću u ruke dušmana koji im rade o glavi, a njihova trupla bit će hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
21 And I give Zedekiah king of Judah and his heads into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and into the hand of the forces of the king of Babylon that are going up from off you.
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.
22 Behold, I am commanding,” a declaration of YHWH, “and have brought them back to this city, and they have fought against it, and captured it, and burned it with fire, and I make the cities of Judah a desolation—without inhabitant.”
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.”
