Jeremija 20

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

Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

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

Then Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, which [was] by 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 Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

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 thy eyes shall behold [it]: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into 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 deliver all the strength of this city, and all its labors, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall pillage 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, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.

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 deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, 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 since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.

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.

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But [his word] was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].

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 heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, [saying], Perhaps 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 terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting confusion 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, [and] seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to thee have I opened my cause.

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

Sing to the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor 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 in which I was born: let not the day in which my mother bore me 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 male child is born to 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 the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noon;

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 at my birth; or that my mother might have been my grave, and she had not been delivered.

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

Why was I brought into the world to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
