Jeremija 22
1 Ovako govori Gospod: siði u dom cara Judina, i reci ondje ovu rijeè,
This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,
2 I kaži: slušaj rijeè Gospodnju, care Judin, koji sjediš na prijestolu Davidovu, ti i sluge tvoje i narod tvoj, koji ulazite na ova vrata.
saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.
3 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.
This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
4 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.
For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.
5 Ako li ne poslušate ovijeh rijeèi, zaklinjem se sobom, veli Gospod, da æe opustjeti taj dom.
But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
6 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.
For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited.
7 I spremiæu na tebe zatiraèe, svakoga s oružjem, i posjeæi æe tvoje krasne kedre i pobacati ih u oganj.
I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.
8 I mnogi æe narodi prolaziti mimo taj grad, i govoriæe jedan drugome: zašto uèini ovo Gospod od toga grada velikoga?
And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’
9 I reæi æe: jer ostaviše zavjet Gospoda Boga svojega i klanjaše se drugim bogovima i služiše im.
Then people will reply, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”
10 Ne plaèite za mrtvijem niti ga žalite; nego plaèite za onijem koji odlazi, jer se neæe više vratiti niti æe vidjeti svoje postojbine.
Do not weep for the dead king; do not mourn his loss. Weep bitterly for the one who is exiled, for he will never return to see his native land.
11 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.
For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,
12 Nego æe umrijeti u mjestu kuda ga odvedoše u ropstvo, i neæe više vidjeti ove zemlje.
but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
13 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;
“Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms without justice, who makes his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,
14 Koji govori: sagradiæu sebi veliku kuæu i prostrane klijeti; i razvaljuje sebi prozore, i oblaže kedrom i maže crvenilom.
who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion.
15 Hoæeš li carovati kad se miješaš s kedrom? Otac tvoj nije li jeo i pio? kad èinjaše sud i pravdu, tada mu bijaše dobro.
Does it make you a king to excel in cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with him.
16 Davaše pravicu siromahu i ubogome, i bijaše mu dobro; nije li to poznavati me? govori Gospod.
He took up the cause of the poor and needy, and so it went well with him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.
17 Ali oèi tvoje i srce tvoje idu samo za tvojim dobitkom i da proljevaš krv pravu i da èiniš nasilje i krivdu.
“But your eyes and heart are set on nothing except your own dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood, on practicing extortion and oppression.”
18 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!
Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19 Pogrebom magareæim pogrepšæe se, izvuæi æe se i baciæe se iza vrata Jerusalimskih.
He will be buried like a donkey, dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Izidi na Livan i vièi, i na Vasanu pusti glas svoj, i vièi preko brodova, jer se satrše svi koji te ljube.
Go up to Lebanon and cry out; raise your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been crushed.
21 Govorih ti u sreæi tvojoj, a ti reèe: neæu da slušam; to je put tvoj od djetinjstva tvojega da ne slušaš glasa mojega.
I warned you when you were secure. You said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from youth, that you have not obeyed My voice.
22 Sve æe pastire tvoje odnijeti vjetar, i koji te ljubi otiæi æe u ropstvo; tada æeš se posramiti i postidjeti za svu zloæu svoju.
The wind will drive away all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
23 Ti sjediš na Livanu, gnijezdo viješ na kedrima, kako æeš biti ljupka, kad ti doðu muke i bolovi kao porodilji!
O inhabitant of Lebanon, nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor.”
24 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.
“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.
25 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.
In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.
26 I baciæu tebe i mater tvoju koja te je rodila u zemlju tuðu, gdje se nijeste rodili, i ondje æete pomrijeti.
I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.
27 A u zemlju u koju æete željeti da se vratite, neæete se vratiti u nju.
You will never return to the land for which you long.”
28 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?
Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
29 O zemljo, zemljo, zemljo! èuj rijeè Gospodnju.
O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
30 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.
This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”
