Jeremiah 22
1 This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and say this to him:
Овако говори Господ: Сиђи у дом цара Јудиног, и реци онде ову реч,
2 ‘You are the king of Judah. You are the ruler [MTY], like King David was. You and your officials and your people must listen
И кажи: Слушај реч Господњу, царе Јудин, који седиш на престолу Давидовом, ти и слуге твоје и народ твој, који улазите на ова врата.
3 to what Yahweh says: “Act fairly and justly. Do what is right. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue people from those who oppress them. Stop doing evil things. Do not mistreat those who have come here from other countries, and do not mistreat orphans and widows. Stop murdering here [in Jerusalem] [MTY] those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong).
Овако вели Господ: Чините суд и правду, и коме се отима избављајте га из руку насилникових, и не чините криво иностранцу ни сироти ни удовици, и не чините им силу, и крв праву не проливајте на овом месту.
4 If you obey those commands carefully, there will [always] be some descendant of King David who will be ruling here [MTY] [in Jerusalem]. The king and his officials and other people will ride through the gates of the city in chariots and on horses.
Јер ако доиста узрадите ово, улазиће на врата овог дома цареви, који седе место Давида на престолу његовом, на колима и на коњима, они и слуге њихове и народ њихов.
5 But if you refuse to pay attention to those commands, I, Yahweh, solemnly declare, with myself [MTY] as a witness, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.”’”
Ако ли не послушате ове речи, заклињем се собом, вели Господ, да ћу опустети тај дом.
6 And this is what Yahweh says about the king’s palace: “[I like] this palace, like I like the forests in the Gilead [region] and the mountains in Lebanon. But I will cause this palace to become a desert, a place that no one lives in.
Јер овако вели Господ за дом цара Јудиног: Ти си ми Галад и врх ливански, али ћу те обратити у пустињу, у градове у којима се не живи.
7 I will summon enemy troops who will destroy this palace; each of their soldiers will use his own tools [to wreck the building]. They will cut into pieces the beautiful big cedar [beams] and throw them into a fire.”
И спремићу на тебе затираче, сваког с оружјем, и посећи ће твоје красне кедре и побацати их у огањ.
8 People from many nations will walk past [the ruins of] this city and say to each other, “Why did Yahweh destroy this city that was [very] great?”
И многи ће народи пролазити мимо тај град, и говориће један другом: Зашто учини ово Господ од тог града великог?
9 And [other] people will reply, “[He did it] because his people stopped obeying the agreement that they had made with Yahweh their God. Instead, they worshiped [DOU] other gods.”
И рећи ће: Јер оставише завет Господа Бога свог, и клањаше се другим боговима и служише им.
10 [Yahweh also says, ] “Do not mourn for King [Josiah]; do not cry because he has died. Instead, mourn for [King Jehoahaz, his son], [because] he will be captured and taken to another country, and he will never return to see his own country, [Judah], again.”
Не плачите за мртвим нити га жалите; него плачите за оним који одлази, јер се неће више вратити нити ће видети своје постојбине.
11 Jehoahaz became king after his father, King Josiah, [died], but Jehoahaz indeed was captured and taken [to Babylonia]. And this is what Yahweh says about him: “He also will never return [to Judah].
Јер овако говори Господ о Салуму сину Јосије, цара Јудиног, који цароваше место Јосије оца свог, који отиде из овог места: неће се више вратити.
12 He will die in that far-away country and will never see his own country again.”
Него ће умрети у месту куда га одведоше у ропство, и неће више видети ове земље.
13 [And Yahweh said to me], “Terrible things will happen to [King Jehoahaz’s brother, King Jehoiakim]. He unjustly [forced men to] build his palace. The rooms on the upper level were built [by men who were forced] unjustly [to do that work]; he forced his neighbors to work for nothing; he did not pay them anything.
Тешко оном који гради своју кућу не по правди, и клети своје не по правици, који се служи ближњим својим низашта и плату за труд његов не даје му;
14 He said, ‘I will [force my workers to] build a huge beautiful palace with very large rooms and [many] windows. They will cover the walls with [fragrant] cedar panels/timber and paint them bright red.’”
Који говори: Саградићу себи велику кућу и простране клети; и разваљује себи прозоре, и облаже кедром и маже црвенилом.
15 But it is certainly not [RHQ] having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great! Jehoiakim’s father, Josiah, also had [RHQ] plenty of things to eat and drink. But Josiah always did things that are right and just, and that is why God blessed him.
Хоћеш ли царовати кад се мешаш с кедром? Отац твој није ли јео и пио? Кад чињаше суд и правду, тада му беше добро.
16 Josiah acted justly/fairly and helped poor and needy people, so things went well for him. Yahweh says, “That is [RHQ] the way a person should behave who knows me.
Даваше правицу сиромаху и убогоме, и беше му добро; није ли то познавати ме? Говори Господ.
17 But [Jehoiakim], you [MTY] are greedy and desire only to obtain things by acting dishonestly. You murder [MTY] innocent people, you oppress poor people, and you treat people cruelly and violently.”
Али очи твоје и срце твоје иду само за твојим добитком и да проливаш крв праву и да чиниш насиље и кривду.
18 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim, the son of King Josiah: “[When he dies], people will not mourn for him. They will not say to each other, ‘It is very sad; we are so sorry!’ The people whom he ruled will not mourn for him, saying, ‘We are sad that our king is dead; we are so sorry that the wonderful things [that happened while he was king are ended].’
Зато овако вели Господ за Јоакима сина Јосије цара Јудиног: Неће нарицати за њим: Јаох брате мој! Или: Јаох сестро! Неће нарицати за њим: Јаох господару! Или: Јаох славо његова!
19 [When he dies, people will do to] his corpse what they do to a dead donkey; his [corpse] will be dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
Погребом магарећим погрепшће се, извући ће се и бациће се иза врата јерусалимских.
20 [You people of Judah], go to [the mountains in] Lebanon and weep, shout in the [mountains of the] Bashan [region], cry out in [the mountains of] Moab, because all your friends [in those areas] have been destroyed.
Изиђи на Ливан и вичи, и на Васану пусти глас свој, и вичи преко бродова, јер се сатрше сви који те љубе.
21 When you were prosperous, I warned you, but you replied, ‘We will not pay attention [to what you say].’ You have been acting like that since you were young; you have never obeyed me.
Говорих ти у срећи твојој, а ти рече: Нећу да слушам; то је пут твој од детињства твог да не слушаш глас мој.
22 [So, now I will punish] all your leaders; [it will be as though] they have been blown away by the wind. They will be captured [by your enemies] and taken to another country. When that happens, you will [truly] be ashamed and disgraced because of all the wicked things [that you have done].
Све ће пастире твоје однети ветар, и који те љуби отићи ће у ропство; тада ћеш се посрамити и постидети за сву злоћу своју.
23 [Now, your king] enjoys living in the cedar rooms in his palace, but [soon] he will be punished, and then he will groan like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.”
Ти седиш на Ливану, гнездо вијеш на кедрима, како ћеш бити љупка, кад ти дођу муке и болови као породиљи!
24 Yahweh says this: “Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, as surely as I am alive, [I will punish you]. Even if you were the ring on my finger that shows that I am the king, I would pull you off.
Како сам ја жив, вели Господ, да би Хонија син Јоакима цара Јудиног био прстен печатни на десној руци мојој, и оданде ћу те отргнути.
25 You are afraid of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his huge army, [because] they are wanting to kill you. I will enable them to capture you.
И даћу те у руке онима који траже душу твоју, и у руке онима којих се бојиш, у руке Навуходоносору цару вавилонском и у руке Халдејцима.
26 I will expel you and your mother [from this land], and you will be taken to another country. Neither of you was born there, but you will both die there.
И бацићу тебе и матер твоју која те је родила у земљу туђу, где се нисте родили, и онде ћете помрети.
27 You will never return to this land that you will very much desire to return to.”
А у земљу у коју ћете желети да се вратите, нећете се вратити у њу.
28 [Someone said, ] “Jehoiachin will be [RHQ] like a broken pot that is despised and which no one wants. He and his children will be (exiled/forced to go) to a foreign land.
Је ли тај човек Хонија ништав идол изломљен? Је ли суд у коме нема милине? Зашто бише истерани, он и семе његово, и бачени у земљу, које не познају?
29 [I want] the people in this land to listen carefully to this message from Yahweh.”
О земљо, земљо, земљо! Чуј реч Господњу.
30 This is what Yahweh says: “[In the record about the kings of Judah, ] write down that [it will be as though] this man [Jehoiachin] had no children, and that he has not been successful during his life, because none of his children/descendants will [ever] become king to rule over [the people of] Judah.”
Овако вели Господ: Запишите да ће тај човек бити без деце и да неће бити срећан до свог века; и нико неће бити срећан од семена његовог, који би седео на престолу Давидовом и још владао Јудом.
