Jeremija 26

1 U poèetku carovanja Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina doðe ova rijeè od Gospoda govoreæi:

This message came from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah king of Judah,

2 Ovako govori Gospod: stani u trijemu doma Gospodnjega, i govori svijem gradovima Judinijem, koji dolaze da se poklone u domu Gospodnjem, sve rijeèi koje ti zapovijedam da im kažeš, ne izostavi ni rijeèi,

This is what the Lord says: Go and stand in the Temple courtyard and deliver the whole message I have ordered you to give to everyone who comes from all the towns of Judah to worship there. Don't leave out a single word.

3 Ne bi li poslušali i vratili se svaki sa svoga zloga puta, da mi se sažali sa zla koje im mislim uèiniti za zloæu djela njihovijeh.

Maybe they'll they will listen, and each of them will give up their evil ways so that I won't have to carry out the disaster I'm planning to bring down on them because of the evil things they do.

4 Reci im dakle: ovako veli Gospod: ako me ne poslušate da hodite u mom zakonu koji sam stavio pred vas,

Tell them that this is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have given you,

5 Da slušate rijeèi sluga mojih proroka, koje vam šaljem, koje slah zarana jednako, ali ih ne poslušaste,

and if you don't listen to the messages of my servants the prophets—I've sent them to you time and again, but you refused to listen—

6 Uèiniæu s domom ovijem kao sa Silomom, i grad ovaj daæu u prokletstvo svijem narodima na zemlji.

then I will destroy this Temple like I did Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse word used by everyone on earth.

7 A sveštenici i proroci i sav narod èuše Jeremiju gdje govori te rijeèi u domu Gospodnjem.

The priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah deliver this message in the Lord's Temple.

8 I kad Jeremija izgovori sve što mu Gospod zapovjedi da kaže svemu narodu, uhvatiše ga sveštenici i proroci i sav narod govoreæi: poginuæeš.

As soon as he had finished telling everyone all that the Lord had ordered him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people grabbed him, shouting, “You'll die for this!

9 Zašto prorokova u ime Gospodnje govoreæi: ovaj æe dom biti kao Silom, i ovaj æe grad opustjeti da neæe u njemu niko živjeti? I skupi se sav narod na Jeremiju u dom Gospodnji.

How dare you claim to speak in the Lord's name here in the Temple and declare that it will be destroyed like Shiloh, and that this city will be left empty and abandoned?” Everyone crowded around Jeremiah threatening him in the Lord's Temple.

10 A knezovi Judini èuvši to doðoše iz doma carskoga u dom Gospodnji, i sjedoše pred nova vrata Gospodnja.

When the leaders of Judah heard what happened they came from the king's palace to the Lord's Temple and sat at the entrance of the New Gate of the Temple to judge the case.

11 I rekoše sveštenici i proroci knezovima i svemu narodu govoreæi: ovaj je èovjek zaslužio smrt, jer prorokova protiv ovoga grada, kao što èuste svojim ušima.

The priests and prophets complained to the leaders and all the people, “This man is deserves the death penalty because he has committed treason by prophesying against this city. You heard it yourselves!”

12 Tada progovori Jeremija svijem knezovima i svemu narodu govoreæi: Gospod me posla da prorokujem protiv ovoga doma i protiv ovoga grada sve što èuste.

Jeremiah addressed all the leaders and all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to deliver every word of this prophecy against this Temple as you've heard.

13 Zato popravite putove svoje i djela svoja, i poslušajte rijeè Gospoda Boga svojega, i sažaliæe se Gospodu sa zla koje je izrekao za vas.

So change your ways and do what's right, and do what Lord your God tells you, so that he won't have to carry out the disaster he has announced he will bring down on you.

14 A ja, evo sam u vašim rukama, èinite od mene što mislite da je dobro i pravo.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right.

15 Ali znajte zacijelo, ako me ubijete, krv pravu svaliæete na se i na ovaj grad i na stanovnike njegove, jer doista Gospod me posla k vama da govorim sve ove rijeèi da èujete.

But be careful, because you need to be aware that if you kill me, you will make yourselves, this city, and everyone who lives here guilty of murder, because it's true that the Lord sent me to tell you everything he said.”

16 Tada rekoše knezovi i sav narod sveštenicima i prorocima: nije ovaj èovjek zaslužio smrti, jer nam je govorio u ime Gospoda Boga našega.

Then the leaders and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man doesn't deserve the death penalty because he was speaking on behalf of the Lord our God.”

17 I ustaše neki od starješina zemaljskih, i progovoriše svemu zboru narodnom i rekoše:

Some of the country's elders stood up and addressed everyone gathered there.

18 Mihej Morašæanin prorokova u vrijeme Jezekije cara Judina i govori svemu narodu Judinu i reèe: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Sion æe se preorati kao njiva i grad æe Jerusalim biti gomila kamenja, i gora ovoga doma visoka šuma.

“Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah that this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Zion will become like a plowed field; Jerusalem will end up a pile of rubble; and the Temple mount will be overgrown with trees.’

19 Je li ga zato ubio Jezekija car Judin i sav Juda? nije li se pobojao Gospoda i molio se Gospodu? i Gospodu se sažali radi zla koje bješe izrekao na njih; mi dakle èinimo veliko zlo dušama svojim.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in the country have him killed? Didn't Hezekiah respect the Lord and plead with him? Didn't the Lord change his mind about the disaster he had announced against them? But we are about to bring a great disaster on ourselves!”

20 I još bješe jedan koji prorokova u ime Gospodnje, Urija sin Semajin iz Kirijat-Jarima; on prorokova protiv ovoga grada i protiv ove zemlje isto onako kao Jeremija.

At around that time there was another man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Uriah, son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against Jerusalem and against the country just as Jeremiah did.

21 I kad èu car Joakim i sve vojvode njegove i svi knezovi rijeèi njegove, traži ga car da ga ubije; a Urija èuvši poboja se i pobježe i doðe u Misir.

King Jehoiakim and all his military officers and officials heard what he was saying, and the king wanted to have him executed. But when Uriah found out about it, he was frightened and ran away to Egypt.

22 A car Joakim posla neke u Misir, Elnatana sina Ahovorova i druge s njim.

But King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan, son of Achbor, along with some others.

23 I oni izvedoše Uriju iz Misira i dovedoše k caru Joakimu, i ubi ga maèem, i baci tijelo njegovo u groblje prostoga naroda.

They brought Uriah back from Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim. The king killed him with a sword and had his body thrown into the public graveyard.

24 Ali ruka Ahikama sina Safanova bi uz Jeremiju, te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.

However, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, took Jeremiah's side so he was not handed over to the people to be killed.
