Jeremiah 21
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the king Zedekiah's sending unto him Pashhur son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda kad posla k njemu car Sedekija Pashora sina Melhijina i Sofoniju sina Masijina sveštenika, i poruèi:
2 'Inquire, we pray thee, for us at Jehovah, for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath fought against us; perhaps Jehovah doth deal with us according to all His wonders, and doth cause him to go up from off us.'
Upitaj Gospoda za nas, jer Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zavojšti na nas; eda bi nam uèinio Gospod po svijem èudesima svojim, da otide od nas.
3 And Jeremiah saith unto them, 'Thus do ye say unto Zedekiah,
A Jeremija im reèe: ovako recite Sedekiji:
4 Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel: Lo, I am turning round the weapons of battle That [are] in your hand, With which ye do fight the king of Babylon, And the Chaldeans, who are laying siege against you, At the outside of the wall, And I have gathered them into the midst of this city,
Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu okrenuti natrag oružje što je u vašim rukama, kojim se bijete s carem Vavilonskim i s Haldejcima koji su vas opkolili iza zidova, i skupiæu ih usred toga grada.
5 And I — I have fought against you, With a stretched-out hand, and with a strong arm, And in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath,
I ja æu vojevati na vas rukom podignutom i mišicom krjepkom i gnjevom i jarošæu i žestinom velikom.
6 And I have smitten the inhabitants of this city, Both man and beast, By a great pestilence do they die.
I pobiæu stanovnike toga grada, i ljude i stoku; od pomora velikoga pomrijeæe.
7 And after this — an affirmation of Jehovah, I give Zedekiah king of Judah, And his servants, and the people, And those left in this city, From the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand of those seeking their life, And he hath smitten them by the mouth of the sword, He hath no pity on them, Nor doth he spare, nor hath he mercy.
A poslije, veli Gospod, daæu Sedekiju cara Judina i sluge njegove i narod, one koji ostanu u tom gradu od pomora, od maèa i od gladi, u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom i u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem i u ruke onima koji traže dušu njihovu, te æe ih pobiti maèem, neæe ih žaliti ni štedjeti niti æe se smilovati.
8 And unto this people thou dost say, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!
A narodu tome reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo ja stavljam pred vas put k životu i put k smrti.
9 Whoso is abiding in this city — dieth, By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoso is going forth, And hath fallen unto the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you — liveth, And his life hath been to him for a spoil.
Ko ostane u tom gradu, poginuæe od maèa ili od gladi ili od pomora; a ko izaðe i preda se Haldejcima koji su vas opkolili, ostaæe živ, i duša æe mu biti mjesto plijena.
10 For I have set My face against this city for evil, And not for good — an affirmation of Jehovah. Into the hand of the king of Babylon it is given, And he hath burned it with fire.
Jer okretoh lice svoje tome gradu na zlo a ne na dobro, govori Gospod; u ruke caru Vavilonskom biæe predan, i on æe ga spaliti ognjem.
11 And as to the house of the king of Judah, Hear ye a word of Jehovah;
A za dom cara Judina èujte rijeè Gospodnju:
12 O house of David, thus said Jehovah: Decide ye judgment at morning, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, Lest My fury go forth as fire, And hath burned, and none is quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
Dome Davidov, tako veli Gospod, sudite svako jutro, i kome se otima izbavljajte ga iz ruku nasilnikovijeh da ne izaðe kao oganj gnjev moj i razgori se da ga niko ne može ugasiti za zloæu djela vaših.
13 Lo, I [am] against thee — an affirmation of Jehovah, O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, Who are saying, Who cometh down against us? And who cometh into our habitations?
Evo me na tebe, koji sjediš u dolini, kao stijena u ravnici, govori Gospod, na vas, koji govorite: ko æe doæi na nas? i ko æe uæi u stanove naše?
14 And I have laid a charge against you, According to the fruit of your doings, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have kindled a fire in its forest, And it hath consumed — all its suburbs!
Jer æu vas pokarati po plodu djela vaših, veli Gospod, i raspaliæu oganj u šumi njegovoj, koji æe proždrijeti sve što je oko njega.
