Jeremiah 36
1 When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Četvrte godine Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga, uputi Jahve Jeremiji ovu riječ:
2 “Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
“Uzmi svitak i zapiši na nj sve riječi koje ti kazah o Jeruzalemu, Judeji i svim narodima, od dana kad ti počeh govoriti, od dana Jošijinih do dana današnjega.
3 When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
Možda će čuti dom Judin o svim nesrećama što sam ih naumio oboriti na njih te će se vratiti svaki sa svoga zlog puta, a ja ću im oprostiti krivicu i grijeh njihov.”
4 [So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
Tada Jeremija dozva Baruha, sina Nerijina, i Baruh napisa na svitak, po kazivanju Jeremijinu, sve riječi koje mu Jahve bijaše objavio.
5 Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
Tada Jeremija naredi Baruhu: “Meni nije slobodno te ne mogu poći u Dom Jahvin.
6 So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
Idi ti te na dan posta u Domu Jahvinu čitaj narodu riječi Jahvine iz svitka što si ga po mojem kazivanju napisao. Pročitaj ih i svim Judejcima koji su došli iz svojih gradova.
7 Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
Možda će se vapaji njihovi vinuti k Jahvi i možda će se obratiti svatko sa zloga puta svojega; jer je velik bijes i srdžba kojima Jahve prijeti ovom narodu.”
8 Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
I Baruh, sin Nerijin, učini sve kako mu prorok Jeremija bijaše zapovjedio da pročita riječi Jahvine u Domu Jahvinu.
9 He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
U petoj godini Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga, mjeseca devetoga, pozvaše na post pred Jahvu sav narod jeruzalemski i sav narod što mogaše stići iz gradova judejskih u Jeruzalem.
10 Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
Baruh svemu narodu pročita riječi Jeremije iz svitka u Domu Jahvinu, u dvorani Gemarje, sina pisara Šafana, u gornjem predvorju pred Novim vratima Jahvina Doma.
11 When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
A kad Mikaj, sin Šafanova sina Gemarje, ču iz knjige sve Jahvine riječi,
12 he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
siđe u kraljevski dvor u sobu pisarovu, gdje upravo sjeđahu svi dostojanstvenici: pisar Elišama, Delaja, sin Šemajin, Elnatan, sin Akborov, Gemarja, sin Šafanov, Sidkija, sin Hananijin, i svi drugi dostojanstvenici.
13 When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
Mikaj im kaza sve riječi što ih bijaše čuo kad ih je Baruh narodu čitao iz knjige.
14 the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
Tada dostojanstvenici poslaše Jehudija, sina Netanijina, i Šelemju, sina Kušijeva, Baruhu da mu kažu: “Uzmi u ruke svitak iz kojega si čitao narodu i dođi!” Tada Baruh, sin Nerijin, uze svitak u ruke i dođe k njima.
15 They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
Oni mi rekoše: “Hajde, sjedi i pročitaj nam!” I Baruh im pročita.
16 After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
Kad čuše sve one riječi, uplašeno se pogledaše i rekoše Baruhu: “Moramo sve to kazati kralju.”
17 Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
I upitaše Baruha: “Hajde, objasni nam kako ti napisa sve te riječi.”
18 Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
Baruh će njima: “Jeremija mi je sve te riječi u pero kazivao, a ja sam ih crnilom u knjigu zapisao.”
19 Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
Tada dostojanstvenici rekoše Baruhu: “Idi i sakrijte se, ti i Jeremija; nitko da ne zna gdje ste.”
20 They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
I, pohranivši svitak u dvorani pisara Elišame, pođoše kralju u dvorsko predvorje i sve mu ispripovjediše.
21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
Kralj posla Jehudija da donese svitak: on ga donese iz sobe pisara Elišame i pročita ga kralju i dostojanstvenicima koji stajahu oko njega.
22 It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
Kralj je sjedio u zimskim odajama - bijaše to u devetom mjesecu - a pred njim stajaše ražarena žeravnica.
23 Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
I kako bi Jehudi pročitao tri-četiri stupca, kralj bi ih rezao pisarskim perorezom i bacao u vatru na žeravnice sve dok cio svitak ne bi uništen u vatri žeravnice.
24 Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
Ni kralj ni njegove sluge ne prestrašiše se niti razderaše haljina kad čuše te riječi,
25 Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
pa ipak Elnatan, Delaja i Gemarja moljahu kralja da ne spali svitak, ali on ih ne posluša.
26 Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
Tada kralj zapovjedi kraljeviću Jerahmeelu i Seraji, sinu Azrielovu, i Šelemji, sinu Abdeelovu, da uhvate pisara Baruha i proroka Jeremiju. Ali ih Jahve bijaše sakrio.
27 After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
Pošto je dakle kralj spalio svitak s riječima što ih Baruh bijaše zapisao po Jeremijinu kazivanju, dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
28 “Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
“Uzmi drugi svitak i upiši u nj sve one riječi što bijahu na prvom svitku koji je Jojakim, kralj judejski, spalio.
29 [Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
A protiv Jojakima, kralja judejskoga, ovako reci: Ovako govori Jahve: Spalio si svitak govoreći: 'Zašto si u njemu napisao da će doći kralj babilonski koji će opustošiti zemlju ovu i istrijebiti i ljude i stoku?'
30 Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
Zato ovako govori Jahve protiv Jojakima, kralja judejskoga: 'On neće imati potomka da sjedne na prijestolje Davidovo, a njegovo mrtvo tijelo bit će bačeno na pripeku danju i noćni mraz.
31 I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
Kaznit ću njega, i potomstvo njegovo, i sluge njegove zbog njihova bezakonja, i svalit ću na Jeruzalemce i na Judejce sve zlo kojim sam im prijetio, a nisu me slušali.”
32 So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
Tada Jeremija uze drugi svitak, dade ga pisaru Baruhu, sinu Nerijinu, i on po kazivanju Jeremijinu upisa sve riječi knjige koju je Jojakim, kralj judejski, na žeravnici spalio. I k njima je dopisano još mnogo onakvih riječi.
