< Jeremiah 26 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, this word came from Yahweh, saying,
U poèetku carovanja Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina doðe ova rijeè od Gospoda govoreæi:
2 “Yahweh says this: Stand in the courtyard of my house and speak about all the cities of Judah who come to worship at my house. Proclaim all the words that I have commanded you to say to them. Do not cut short any word!
Ovako govori Gospod: stani u trijemu doma Gospodnjega, i govori svijem gradovima Judinijem, koji dolaze da se poklone u domu Gospodnjem, sve rijeèi koje ti zapovijedam da im kažeš, ne izostavi ni rijeèi,
3 It may be that they will listen, that each man will turn from his wicked ways, so I will relent concerning the disaster that I am planning to bring on them because of the wickedness of their practices.
Ne bi li poslušali i vratili se svaki sa svoga zloga puta, da mi se sažali sa zla koje im mislim uèiniti za zloæu djela njihovijeh.
4 So you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: If you do not listen to me so as to walk in my law that I have placed before you—
Reci im dakle: ovako veli Gospod: ako me ne poslušate da hodite u mom zakonu koji sam stavio pred vas,
5 if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I am persistently sending to you—but you have not listened!—
Da slušate rijeèi sluga mojih proroka, koje vam šaljem, koje slah zarana jednako, ali ih ne poslušaste,
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh; I will turn this city into a curse in the sight of all the nations on earth.'”
Uèiniæu s domom ovijem kao sa Silomom, i grad ovaj daæu u prokletstvo svijem narodima na zemlji.
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah announcing these words in Yahweh's house.
A sveštenici i proroci i sav narod èuše Jeremiju gdje govori te rijeèi u domu Gospodnjem.
8 So it happened that when Jeremiah had finished announcing all that Yahweh commanded him to say to all the people, the priests, prophets, and all the people seized him and said, “You will certainly die!
I kad Jeremija izgovori sve što mu Gospod zapovjedi da kaže svemu narodu, uhvatiše ga sveštenici i proroci i sav narod govoreæi: poginuæeš.
9 Why have you prophesied in Yahweh's name and said that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will become desolate, with no inhabitant?” For all the people had formed a mob against Jeremiah in Yahweh's house.
Zašto prorokova u ime Gospodnje govoreæi: ovaj æe dom biti kao Silom, i ovaj æe grad opustjeti da neæe u njemu niko živjeti? I skupi se sav narod na Jeremiju u dom Gospodnji.
10 Then the officials of Judah heard these words and went up from the king's house to Yahweh's house. They sat in the gateway at the New Gate of Yahweh's house.
A knezovi Judini èuvši to doðoše iz doma carskoga u dom Gospodnji, i sjedoše pred nova vrata Gospodnja.
11 The priests and the prophets spoke to the officials and to all the people. They said, “It is right for this man to die, for he prophesied against this city, just as you heard with your own ears!”
I rekoše sveštenici i proroci knezovima i svemu narodu govoreæi: ovaj je èovjek zaslužio smrt, jer prorokova protiv ovoga grada, kao što èuste svojim ušima.
12 So Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people and said, “Yahweh has sent me out to prophesy against this house and this city, to say all the words that you have heard.
Tada progovori Jeremija svijem knezovima i svemu narodu govoreæi: Gospod me posla da prorokujem protiv ovoga doma i protiv ovoga grada sve što èuste.
13 So now, improve your ways and your practices, and listen to the voice of Yahweh your God so that he will relent concerning the disaster that he has proclaimed against you.
Zato popravite putove svoje i djela svoja, i poslušajte rijeè Gospoda Boga svojega, i sažaliæe se Gospodu sa zla koje je izrekao za vas.
14 I myself—look at me!—am in your hand. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
A ja, evo sam u vašim rukama, èinite od mene što mislite da je dobro i pravo.
15 But you must surely know that if you kill me, then you are bringing innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and its inhabitants, for Yahweh has truly sent me to you to proclaim all these words for your ears.”
Ali znajte zacijelo, ako me ubijete, krv pravu svaliæete na se i na ovaj grad i na stanovnike njegove, jer doista Gospod me posla k vama da govorim sve ove rijeèi da èujete.
16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and prophets, “It is not right for this man to die, for he has proclaimed things to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
Tada rekoše knezovi i sav narod sveštenicima i prorocima: nije ovaj èovjek zaslužio smrti, jer nam je govorio u ime Gospoda Boga našega.
17 Then men from the elders of the land rose up and spoke to the entire assembly of the people.
I ustaše neki od starješina zemaljskih, i progovoriše svemu zboru narodnom i rekoše:
18 They said, “Micah the Morashite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He spoke to all the people of Judah and said, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.'
Mihej Morašæanin prorokova u vrijeme Jezekije cara Judina i govori svemu narodu Judinu i reèe: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Sion æe se preorati kao njiva i grad æe Jerusalim biti gomila kamenja, i gora ovoga doma visoka šuma.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Yahweh and appease the face of Yahweh so that Yahweh would relent concerning the disaster that he proclaimed to them? So will we do greater evil against our own lives?”
Je li ga zato ubio Jezekija car Judin i sav Juda? nije li se pobojao Gospoda i molio se Gospodu? i Gospodu se sažali radi zla koje bješe izrekao na njih; mi dakle èinimo veliko zlo dušama svojim.
20 Meanwhile there was another man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim—he also prophesied against this city and this land, agreeing with all of Jeremiah's words.
I još bješe jedan koji prorokova u ime Gospodnje, Urija sin Semajin iz Kirijat-Jarima; on prorokova protiv ovoga grada i protiv ove zemlje isto onako kao Jeremija.
21 But when King Jehoiakim and all his soldiers and officials heard his word, then the king tried to put him to death, but Uriah heard and was afraid, so he ran away and went to Egypt.
I kad èu car Joakim i sve vojvode njegove i svi knezovi rijeèi njegove, traži ga car da ga ubije; a Urija èuvši poboja se i pobježe i doðe u Misir.
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent out men to go to Egypt—Elnathan son of Akbor and men to go into Egypt after Uriah.
A car Joakim posla neke u Misir, Elnatana sina Ahovorova i druge s njim.
23 They took Uriah out from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim. Then Jehoiakim killed him with a sword and sent his corpse out to the graves of the ordinary people.
I oni izvedoše Uriju iz Misira i dovedoše k caru Joakimu, i ubi ga maèem, i baci tijelo njegovo u groblje prostoga naroda.
24 But the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so he was not given into the hand of the people to be put to death.
Ali ruka Ahikama sina Safanova bi uz Jeremiju, te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.
