Jeremija 20

1 A Pashor sin Imirov sveštenik, koji bijaše starješina u domu Gospodnjem, èu Jeremiju gdje prorokuje te rijeèi.

Now Pashhur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

2 I udari Pashor proroka Jeremiju, i metnu ga u tamnicu na gornjim vratima Venijaminovijem uz dom Gospodnji.

Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the LORD.

3 A sjutradan kad Pashor izvede Jeremiju iz tamnice, reèe mu Jeremija: Gospod ti nadje ime ne Pashor nego Magor-Misaviv.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him: 'The LORD hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.

4 Jer ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu pustiti na te strah, na te i na sve prijatelje tvoje, koji æe pasti od maèa neprijatelja svojih, i oèi æe tvoje vidjeti, i svega æu Judu dati u ruke caru Vavilonskom, koji æe ih odvesti u Vavilon, i pobiæe ih maèem.

For thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

5 I daæu sve bogatstvo toga grada i sav trud njegov i sve što ima dragocjeno, i sve blago careva Judinijeh daæu neprijateljima njihovijem u ruke, i razgrabiæe i uzeti i odnijeti u Vavilon.

Moreover I will give all the store of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the wealth thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

6 I ti, Pashore, i svi koji žive u tvom domu otiæi æete u ropstvo; i doæi æeš u Vavilon i ondje æeš umrijeti i ondje æeš biti pogreben ti i svi prijatelji tvoji, kojima si prorokovao lažno.

And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.'

7 Nagovarao si me, Gospode, i dadoh se nagovoriti; bio si jaèi od mene i nadvladao si me; na potsmijeh sam svaki dan, svak mi se potsmijeva.

O LORD, Thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed, Thou hast overcome me, and hast prevailed; I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh me.

8 Jer otkad govorim, vapijem, radi nasilja i pustošenja vièem, jer mi je rijeè Gospodnja na porugu i na potsmijeh svaki dan.

For as often as I speak, I cry out, I cry: 'Violence and spoil'; because the word of the LORD is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day.

9 I rekoh: neæu ga više pominjati, niti æu više govoriti u ime njegovo; ali bi u srcu mom kao oganj razgorio, zatvoren u kostima mojim, i umorih se zadržavajuæi ga, i ne mogoh više.

And if I say: 'I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name', then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I weary myself to hold it in, but cannot.

10 Jer èujem poruge od mnogih, strah otsvuda: prokažite da prokažemo; svi koji bijahu u miru sa mnom, vrebaju da posrnem: da ako se prevari, te æemo ga nadvladati i osvetiæemo mu se.

For I have heard the whispering of many, terror on every side: 'Denounce, and we will denounce him'; even of all my familiar friends, them that watch for my halting: 'Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.'

11 Ali je Gospod sa mnom kao strašan junak; zato oni koji me gone spotaknuæe se i neæe nadvladati; posramiæe se vrlo; jer neæe biti sreæni, sramota vjeèna neæe se zaboraviti.

But the LORD is with me as a mighty warrior; therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, because they have not prospered, even with an everlasting confusion which shall never be forgotten.

12 Zato, Gospode nad vojskama, koji kušaš pravednika, koji vidiš bubrege i srce, daj da vidim tvoju osvetu na njima, jer tebi kazah parbu svoju.

But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the reins and the heart, let me see Thy vengeance on them; for unto Thee have I revealed my cause.

13 Pjevajte Gospodu, hvalite Gospoda, jer izbavi dušu siromahu iz ruke zlikovaèke.

Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD; for He hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.

14 Proklet da je dan u koji se rodih! dan, u koji me rodi mati moja, da nije blagosloven!

Cursed be the day wherein I was born; the day wherein my mother bore me, let it not be blessed.

15 Proklet da je èovjek koji javi ocu mojemu i vrlo ga obradova govoreæi: rodi ti se sin.

Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying: 'A man-child is born unto thee'; making him very glad.

16 I taj èovjek da bi bio kao gradovi koje Gospod zatr i ne bi mu žao! neka sluša viku ujutru i vrisku u podne,

And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and an alarm at noontide;

17 Što me ne usmrti u utrobi materinoj da bi mi mati moja bila grob, i utroba njezina da bi ostala dovijeka trudna.

Because He slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

18 Zašto izidoh iz utrobe da vidim muku i žalost i da se svrše u sramoti dani moji?

Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?
