< Jeremija 28 >

1 A iste godine, u poèetku carovanja Sedekije cara Judina, èetvrte godine, petoga mjeseca, reèe mi Ananija sin Azorov, prorok iz Gavaona, u domu Gospodnjem pred sveštenicima i svijem narodom govoreæi:
When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
2 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: slomih jaram cara Vavilonskoga.
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
3 Do dvije godine ja æu vratiti na ovo mjesto sve sudove doma Gospodnjega, koje uze Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski odavde i odnese u Vavilon.
(Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
4 I Jehoniju sina Joakimova cara Judina i sve roblje Judino što otide u Vavilon, ja æu dovesti opet na ovo mjesto, govori Gospod, jer æu slomiti jaram cara Vavilonskoga.
And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
5 Tada reèe Jeremija prorok Ananiji proroku pred sveštenicima i pred svijem narodom, koji stajaše u domu Gospodnjem,
I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
6 Reèe Jeremija prorok: amin, da Gospod uèini tako, da Gospod ispuni tvoje rijeèi što si prorokovao da bi vratio sudove doma Gospodnjega i sve roblje iz Vavilona na ovo mjesto.
I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
7 Ali èuj ovu rijeè koju æu ja kazati pred tobom i pred svijem narodom:
But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
8 Proroci koji su bili prije mene i prije tebe od starine, oni prorokovaše mnogim zemljama i velikim carstvima rat i nevolju i pomor.
Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
9 Prorok koji prorièe mir, kad se zbude rijeè toga proroka, onda se poznaje taj prorok da ga je zaista poslao Gospod.
[So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
10 Tada Ananija prorok skide jaram s vrata Jeremiji proroku i slomi ga.
Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
11 I reèe Ananija pred svijem narodom govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod: ovako æu slomiti jaram Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga do dvije godine s vrata svijeh naroda. I otide prorok Jeremija svojim putem.
Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
12 Ali doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji, pošto slomi Ananija prorok jaram s vrata Jeremiji proroku, i reèe:
[Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
13 Idi i kaži Ananiji i reci: ovako veli Gospod: slomio si jaram drveni, ali naèini mjesto njega gvozden jaram.
“Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
14 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: gvozden æu jaram metnuti na vrat svijem tijem narodima da služe Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, i služiæe mu, dao sam mu i zvijerje poljsko.
I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
15 Potom reèe Jeremija prorok Ananiji proroku: èuj, Ananija; nije te poslao Gospod, a ti si uèinio da se narod ovaj pouzda u laž.
Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
16 Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu te skinuti sa zemlje, ove godine ti æeš umrijeti; jer si kazivao odmet od Gospoda.
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
17 I umrije prorok Ananija te godine sedmoga mjeseca.
Hananiah died two months later.
