Jeremija 26
1 U poèetku carovanja Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina doðe ova rijeè od Gospoda govoreæi:
Soon after Jehoiakim became the king of Judah, Yahweh gave [me] this message:
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 [I], Yahweh, am telling you: Stand in the courtyard [in front] of my temple, and speak to all [the people from] the various towns in Judah who come there to worship me. Tell them everything that I tell you; do not omit anything.
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.
[If you do tell them everything], perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.
4 Reci im dakle: ovako veli Gospod: ako me ne poslušate da hodite u mom zakonu koji sam stavio pred vas,
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I sent to you the prophets who serve me, to tell you what you should do. I sent them to you many times, but you have not paid attention to what they said. If you will not pay attention to what I say and do not obey the message that I have given to you, and if you do not pay attention to what the prophets say,
5 Da slušate rijeèi sluga mojih proroka, koje vam šaljem, koje slah zarana jednako, ali ih ne poslušaste,
6 Uèiniæu s domom ovijem kao sa Silomom, i grad ovaj daæu u prokletstvo svijem narodima na zemlji.
I will destroy this temple like I destroyed Shiloh, [the place where the Sacred Tent was put]. And I will cause Jerusalem to be a place whose name [people in] every nation on the earth will say when they curse someone.’”
7 A sveštenici i proroci i sav narod èuše Jeremiju gdje govori te rijeèi u domu Gospodnjem.
[When I did what Yahweh told me to do, ] the priests, the [false] prophets, and many [other] people listened to me as I told them that message outside the 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.
But as soon as I finished telling them everything that Yahweh had commanded me to say, they all seized me and said, “You must be executed!
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.
Why [RHQ] are you prophesying that this temple will be [destroyed] like Shiloh [was destroyed]? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here [any more]? (OR, You should not be prophesying) [RHQ]” All the people surrounded me [as I stood] in [front of] the temple.
10 A knezovi Judini èuvši to doðoše iz doma carskoga u dom Gospodnji, i sjedoše pred nova vrata Gospodnja.
When the officials of Judah heard about all this [that was happening], they rushed from the palace and sat down at the gate of the temple named The New Gate, [to judge my 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 the [false] told the officials and the other people [who were there], “This man should be executed, because he has prophesied that this city [will be destroyed], and you yourselves [MTY] have heard him say that!”
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.
Then I replied to the officials and the other people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy all the things that you heard me say about [what will happen to] this temple and this city.
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.
But if you change your behavior and stop sinning, and [start to] obey Yahweh our God, he will change his mind, and not cause you to experience the disasters that he said that he would send.
14 A ja, evo sam u vašim rukama, èinite od mene što mislite da je dobro i pravo.
As for me, I am not able to free myself from your grasp. [So you can] do to me whatever you want to do.
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 you need to] know that if you kill me, you will be killing a man [SYN] who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong). And you and everyone else in this city will be guilty, because the truth is that it was Yahweh who sent me to speak every word that you have heard me say.”
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 officials and the other people said to the priests and the [false] prophets, “This man does not deserve to be executed, because he has spoken to us the message [MTY] that Yahweh gave him!”
17 I ustaše neki od starješina zemaljskih, i progovoriše svemu zboru narodnom i rekoše:
Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people who were 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.
They said, “([Remember/Think about) what] Micah, [the prophet] from Moresheth [town], prophesied during the years that Hezekiah was the King of Judah. He told the people of Judah this: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: [Some day] Zion [Hill] will be plowed like fields [are plowed]; Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins. There will be a large clump/group of trees on top of the hill where the temple is now.’
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.
But did [RHQ] King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah kill Micah [for saying that]? No! Instead, Hezekiah revered Yahweh, and pleaded that he would (act mercifully toward/not destroy) them. So, Yahweh changed his mind about causing them to experience the terrible disaster that he said he would send. And now [if we kill Jeremiah], we are going to cause ourselves to experience a terrible disaster!”
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 that time, ] the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-Jearim [city] was also prophesying/proclaiming messages [MTY] from Yahweh. He was predicting that the city and the rest of the land would experience the same disasters that I was predicting.
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.
When King Jehoiakim and his army officers and officials heard what Uriah was saying, the king sent someone to kill Uriah. But Uriah heard about it, and became [very] afraid, and he (escaped/ran away) to Egypt.
22 A car Joakim posla neke u Misir, Elnatana sina Ahovorova i druge s njim.
Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Acbor along with several other men to Egypt.
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 captured Uriah and took him [back to Jerusalem] to King Jehoiakim. The king then [had a soldier] kill Uriah with a sword. Then they buried his corpse in a place where poor people are buried.
24 Ali ruka Ahikama sina Safanova bi uz Jeremiju, te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.
However, Ahikam the son of Shaphan defended me, and persuaded the officials not to allow [MTY] the mob to murder me.
