Jeremiah 28
1 When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
Iste godine, u početku kraljevanja Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, četvrte godine, petog mjeseca, Hananija, sin Azurov, prorok rodom iz Gibeona, reče mi u Domu Jahvinu pred svim svećenicima i svim narodom:
2 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Skršit ću jaram kralja babilonskoga.
3 (Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
Do dvije godine vratit ću na ovo mjesto sve posuđe Doma Jahvina koje je Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, odavde uzeo i odnio u Babilon.
4 And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
A tako i Jekoniju, sina Jojakimova, kralja judejskoga, i sve izgnanike judejske, koji dospješe u Babilon, također ću vratiti na ovo mjesto - riječ je Jahvina - jer ću skršiti jaram kralja babilonskoga.'”
5 I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
Tada prorok Jeremija odgovori proroku Hananiji pred svećenicima i pred svim narodom koji bijahu u Domu Jahvinu.
6 I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
Reče prorok Jeremija: “Amen! Učinio Jahve tako! Ispunio Jahve riječi koje si prorokovao i vratio ovamo sve posuđe iz Doma Jahvina i sve izgnanike iz Babilona.
7 But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
Ali čujder i ovu riječ koju ću kazati na tvoje uši i na uši svega naroda.
8 Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
Proroci koji su bili prije mene i tebe, odiskona prorokovahu mnogim moćnim zemljama i velikim kraljevstvima rat, glad, kugu.
9 [So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
Ali o proroku koji proriče mir možeš istom kad se ispuni njegova proročka riječ znati da ga je zaista Jahve poslao.”
10 Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
Tada prorok Hananija skide jaram s vrata proroka Jeremije i skrši ga.
11 Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
I reče Hananija pred svim narodom: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo, ovako ću - za dvije godine - skršiti jaram Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, s vrata svih naroda!'” Tada prorok Jeremija ode svojim putem.
12 [Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
A kad prorok Hananija skrši jaram s vrata proroka Jeremije, dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
13 “Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
“Idi i ovako reci Hananiji: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti si skršio drveni jaram, ali ću ja mjesto njega načiniti željezni.'
14 I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Željezni ću jaram staviti oko vrata svih ovih naroda da ih podvrgnem Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskom, i služit će mu, jer ja sam njemu podložio čak i poljsku zvjerad!'”
15 Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
I prorok Jeremija reče proroku Hananiji: “Čuj me dobro, Hananija! Tebe nije poslao Jahve, a ti si u narodu pobudio varave nade.
16 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
Zato ovako govori Jahve: 'Gle, brišem te s lica zemlje! Umrijet ćeš još ove godine, jer si propovijedao pobunu protiv Jahve!'”
17 Hananiah died two months later.
I umrije prorok Hananija te godine u sedmom mjesecu.
