Jeremija 27
1 U poèetku carovanja Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina doðe ova rijeè Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
Soon after Zedekiah became the King of Judah, Yahweh gave a message to me.
2 Ovako mi reèe Gospod: naèini sebi sveze i jaram, i metni sebi oko vrata.
This is what he said to me: “Make a (yoke/set of wooden bars to fasten around the neck of an ox), but fasten it around your own neck with leather straps.
3 Potom pošlji ih caru Edomskom i caru Moavskom i caru sinova Amonovijeh i caru Tirskom i caru Sidonskom, po poslanicima koji æe doæi u Jerusalim k Sedekiji caru Judinu.
[Then] send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, by telling those messages to the ambassadors from those countries who have come to Jerusalem to [talk to] King Zedekiah.
4 I naruèi im neka reku svojim gospodarima: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: ovako recite svojim gospodarima:
Tell them to give this message to their kings: This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship, ]:
5 Ja sam stvorio zemlju i ljude i stoku, što je po zemlji, silom svojom velikom i mišicom svojom podignutom; i dajem je kome mi je drago.
‘With my very great power [MTY, DOU] I created the earth and the people and the animals that are on the earth. And I can give my power to anyone whom I want to.
6 I sada ja dadoh sve te zemlje u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom sluzi svojemu, dadoh mu i zvijerje poljsko da mu služi.
And now I am going to enable King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who does what I want him to do, to control your countries. I am going to enable him to rule everything, even the wild animals.
7 I svi æe narodi služiti njemu i sinu njegovu i unuku njegovu dokle doðe vrijeme i njegovoj zemlji, i veliki narodi i silni carevi pokore ga.
[The people of] all the nations will work for him, and [later] for his son, and [later] for his grandson, until the time for them [to rule] is finished. Then [the armies of] many great kings from many nations will conquer Babylon.’
8 A koji narod ili carstvo ne bi htio služiti Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, i ne bi htio saviti vrata svojega u jaram cara Vavilonskoga, taki æu narod pohoditi maèem i glaðu i pomorom, govori Gospod, dokle ih ne istrijebim rukom njegovom.
But now I tell you that you must [do what the king of Babylon wants you to do] [MET], [like an ox that has] a yoke on its neck [must do what its master wants it to do]. I will punish any nation that refuses to do that. I will cause those people to experience war and famine and diseases, until [the armies of] Babylon have conquered that nation.
9 Ne slušajte dakle proroka svojih ni vraèa svojih ni sanjaèa svojih ni gatara svojih ni bajaèa svojih, koji vam govore i vele: neæete služiti caru Vavilonskom.
So, do not pay attention to your [false] prophets and fortune-tellers and people who predict what will happen by working magic or by talking with spirits of dead people. Those people say that the king of Babylon will not conquer your country.
10 Jer vam oni laž prorokuju, kako bih vas daleko odveo iz zemlje vaše i izagnao vas da izginete.
Those people are [all] liars. [If you believe what they say, ] it will result in your being exiled from your land. I will cause you to be taken from your land, and you will die far away.
11 A narod koji bi savio vrat svoj pod jaram cara Vavilonskoga i služio mu, ostaviæu ga na zemlji njegovoj, govori Gospod, da je radi i stanuje u njoj.
But the people of any country who do what the King of Babylon wants them to do will remain in their own country and be able to plant their crops [MTY] [as they always have done. That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
12 I Sedekiji caru Judinu rekoh sve ovo govoreæi: savijte vrat svoj pod jaram cara Vavilonskoga i služite njemu i narodu njegovu, pa æete ostati živi.
[After I gave that message to those ambassadors, ] I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. [I said to him, ] “If you want to remain alive, do what the King of Babylon and his officials want you to do [MET].
13 Zašto da poginete ti i narod tvoj od maèa i od gladi i od pomora, kako reèe Gospod za narod koji ne bi služio caru Vavilonskom?
[It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that] you and your people would die by [your enemies’] swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.
14 Ne slušajte dakle što govore proroci koji vam kažu i vele: neæete služiti caru Vavilonskom, jer vam oni prorokuju laž.
Do not pay attention to those prophets who say to you, ‘The King of Babylon will not conquer your country.’ They are liars.
15 Jer ih ja nijesam poslao, govori Gospod, nego lažno prorokuju u moje ime, kako bih vas prognao da izginete i vi i proroci koji vam prorokuju.
[This is what] Yahweh says: ‘I have not appointed those prophets. They are saying that I [MTY] gave them messages, but they are lying. So, [if you believe them, ] I will expel you from this land. And you and all those prophets will die [in Babylon]!’”
16 I sveštenicima i svemu narodu govorih i rekoh: ovako veli Gospod: ne slušajte što govore vaši proroci koji vam prorokuju govoreæi: evo, posuðe doma Gospodnjega vratiæe se iz Vavilona skoro. Jer vam oni prorokuju laž.
Then I spoke to the priests and the other people, and I said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Do not believe your prophets who tell you that all the gold items [that were taken] from my temple [by soldiers from Babylon] will soon be returned from Babylon, because what they are prophesying is a lie.
17 Ne slušajte ih; služite caru Vavilonskom, i ostaæete živi; zašto taj grad da opusti?
Do not pay attention to what they say. Surrender to the king of Babylon. If you do that, you will remain alive. [If you do not do that] [RHQ], this entire city will be destroyed.
18 Ako li su proroci i ako je rijeè Gospodnja u njih, neka mole Gospoda nad vojskama da sudovi što su ostali u domu Gospodnjem i u domu cara Judina i u Jerusalimu ne otidu u Vavilon.
If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that [the soldiers from Babylon] will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that [still] remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in [the other palaces in] Jerusalem.
19 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama za stupove i za more i za podnožja i za druge sudove što su ostali u tom gradu,
[I say this] because the [huge] pillars [that are in front of the temple] and the large water tank and the [ten water] carts and all the other items that are used [for offering sacrifices are still in this city].
20 Kojih ne uze Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski kad odvede u ropstvo Jehoniju sina Joakimova cara Judina iz Jerusalima u Vavilon, i sve glavare Judine i Jerusalimske;
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left those things here when he exiled Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the [other] leaders of Jerusalem and [the leaders of other places in] Judah.
21 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev za sudove što ostaše u domu Gospodnjem i u domu cara Judina u Jerusalimu:
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say this about all those valuable things that are still outside the temple and in the palace of the king of Judah and in [other places in]:
22 U Vavilon æe se odnijeti i ondje æe biti do dana kad æu ih pohoditi, veli Gospod, kad æu ih donijeti i vratiti na ovo mjesto.
They will [all] be carried away to Babylon. And they will stay there until I say that they should be brought back to Jerusalem. Then they will be bought back here. [That is what I, ] Yahweh, say.’”
