Jeremiah 22
1 The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
Ovako govori Gospod: siði u dom cara Judina, i reci ondje ovu rijeè,
2 ‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
I kaži: slušaj rijeè Gospodnju, care Judin, koji sjediš na prijestolu Davidovu, ti i sluge tvoje i narod tvoj, koji ulazite na ova vrata.
3 The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
Ovako veli Gospod: èinite sud i pravdu, i kome se otima izbavljajte ga iz ruku nasilnikovijeh, i ne èinite krivo inostrancu ni siroti ni udovici, i ne èinite im sile, i krvi prave ne proljevajte na ovom mjestu.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
Jer ako doista uzradite ovo, ulaziæe na vrata ovoga doma carevi, koji sjede mjesto Davida na prijestolu njegovu, na kolima i na konjma, oni i sluge njihove i narod njihov.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says the LORD, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
Ako li ne poslušate ovijeh rijeèi, zaklinjem se sobom, veli Gospod, da æe opustjeti taj dom.
6 For the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
Jer ovako veli Gospod za dom cara Judina: ti si mi Galad i vrh Livanski, ali æu te obratiti u pustinju, u gradove u kojima se ne živi.
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
I spremiæu na tebe zatiraèe, svakoga s oružjem, i posjeæi æe tvoje krasne kedre i pobacati ih u oganj.
8 “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’
I mnogi æe narodi prolaziti mimo taj grad, i govoriæe jedan drugome: zašto uèini ovo Gospod od toga grada velikoga?
9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
I reæi æe: jer ostaviše zavjet Gospoda Boga svojega i klanjaše se drugim bogovima i služiše im.
10 Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
Ne plaèite za mrtvijem niti ga žalite; nego plaèite za onijem koji odlazi, jer se neæe više vratiti niti æe vidjeti svoje postojbine.
11 For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
Jer ovako govori Gospod o Salumu sinu Josije cara Judina, koji carovaše mjesto Josije oca svojega, koji otide iz ovoga mjesta: neæe se više vratiti.
12 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
Nego æe umrijeti u mjestu kuda ga odvedoše u ropstvo, i neæe više vidjeti ove zemlje.
13 “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
Teško onomu koji gradi svoju kuæu ne po pravdi, i klijeti svoje ne po pravici, koji se služi bližnjim svojim ni za što i plate za trud njegov ne daje mu;
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
Koji govori: sagradiæu sebi veliku kuæu i prostrane klijeti; i razvaljuje sebi prozore, i oblaže kedrom i maže crvenilom.
15 “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
Hoæeš li carovati kad se miješaš s kedrom? Otac tvoj nije li jeo i pio? kad èinjaše sud i pravdu, tada mu bijaše dobro.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says the LORD.
Davaše pravicu siromahu i ubogome, i bijaše mu dobro; nije li to poznavati me? govori Gospod.
17 But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
Ali oèi tvoje i srce tvoje idu samo za tvojim dobitkom i da proljevaš krv pravu i da èiniš nasilje i krivdu.
18 Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
Zato ovako veli Gospod za Joakima sina Josije cara Judina: neæe naricati za njim: jaoh brate moj! ili: jaoh sestro! neæe naricati za njim: jaoh gospodaru! ili: jaoh slavo njegova!
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
Pogrebom magareæim pogrepšæe se, izvuæi æe se i baciæe se iza vrata Jerusalimskih.
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
Izidi na Livan i vièi, i na Vasanu pusti glas svoj, i vièi preko brodova, jer se satrše svi koji te ljube.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
Govorih ti u sreæi tvojoj, a ti reèe: neæu da slušam; to je put tvoj od djetinjstva tvojega da ne slušaš glasa mojega.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
Sve æe pastire tvoje odnijeti vjetar, i koji te ljubi otiæi æe u ropstvo; tada æeš se posramiti i postidjeti za svu zloæu svoju.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Ti sjediš na Livanu, gnijezdo viješ na kedrima, kako æeš biti ljupka, kad ti doðu muke i bolovi kao porodilji!
24 “As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
Kako sam ja živ, veli Gospod, da bi Honija sin Joakima cara Judina bio prsten peèatni na desnoj ruci mojoj, i odande æu te otrgnuti.
25 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Kasdim.
I daæu te u ruke onima koji traže dušu tvoju, i u ruke onima kojih se bojiš, u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom i u ruke Haldejcima.
26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
I baciæu tebe i mater tvoju koja te je rodila u zemlju tuðu, gdje se nijeste rodili, i ondje æete pomrijeti.
27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
A u zemlju u koju æete željeti da se vratite, neæete se vratiti u nju.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
Je li taj èovjek Honija ništav idol izlomljen? je li sud u kom nema miline? zašto biše istjerani, on i sjeme njegovo, i baèeni u zemlju, koje ne poznaju?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!
O zemljo, zemljo, zemljo! èuj rijeè Gospodnju.
30 The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
Ovako veli Gospod: zapišite da æe taj èovjek biti bez djece i da neæe biti sreæan do svoga vijeka; i niko neæe biti sreæan od sjemena njegova, koji bi sjedio na prijestolu Davidovu i još vladao Judom.
