Jeremija 21
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda kad posla k njemu car Sedekija Pashora sina Melhijina i Sofoniju sina Masijina sveštenika, i poruèi:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, in King Zedekiah’s sending to him Pashhur son of Malchiah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 Upitaj Gospoda za nas, jer Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zavojšti na nas; eda bi nam uèinio Gospod po svijem èudesima svojim, da otide od nas.
“Please inquire of YHWH for us, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has fought against us; perhaps YHWH deals with us according to all His wonders, and causes him to go up from off us.”
3 A Jeremija im reèe: ovako recite Sedekiji:
And Jeremiah says to them, “Thus you say to Zedekiah,
4 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.
Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am turning around the weapons of battle That [are] in your hand, With which you 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,
5 I ja æu vojevati na vas rukom podignutom i mišicom krjepkom i gnjevom i jarošæu i žestinom velikom.
And I have fought against you, With an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, And in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath,
6 I pobiæu stanovnike toga grada, i ljude i stoku; od pomora velikoga pomrijeæe.
And I have struck the inhabitants of this city, Both man and beast, They die by a great pestilence.
7 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.
And after this,” A declaration of YHWH, “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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand of those seeking their life, And he has struck them by the mouth of the sword, He has no pity on them, Nor does he spare, nor does he have mercy.”
8 A narodu tome reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo ja stavljam pred vas put k životu i put k smrti.
“And you say to this people, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!
9 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.
Whoever is abiding in this city—dies, By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoever is going forth, And has fallen to the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you—lives, And his life has been for a spoil to him.
10 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.
For I have set My face against this city for calamity, And not for good,” A declaration of YHWH. “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has burned it with fire.
11 A za dom cara Judina èujte rijeè Gospodnju:
And as for the house of the king of Judah,” Hear a word of YHWH;
12 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.
O house of David, thus said YHWH: “Decide judgment in the morning, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, Lest My fury go forth as fire, And has burned, and none is quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
13 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?
Behold, I [am] against you,” A declaration of YHWH, “O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, Who are saying, Who comes down against us? And who comes into our habitations?
14 Jer æu vas pokarati po plodu djela vaših, veli Gospod, i raspaliæu oganj u šumi njegovoj, koji æe proždrijeti sve što je oko njega.
And I have laid a charge against you, According to the fruit of your doings,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have kindled a fire in its forest, And it has consumed all its outskirts!”
