Jeremias 20
1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
A svećenik Pašhur, sin Imerov, vrhovni nadzornik Doma Jahvina, ču kako Jeremija prorokuje te riječi.
2 And he smote him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.
I Pašhur dade Jeremiju batinati i baci ga u klade što se nalaze kod gornjih vrata Benjaminovih, a u Domu su Jahvinu.
3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon: and Jeremias said to him, [The Lord] has not called thy name Paschor, but Exile.
A kad sutradan Pašhur pusti Jeremiju iz klada, reče mu Jeremija: “Jahve te više ne zove Pašhur već 'Užas odasvud'.
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] give thee up to captivity with all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]: and I will give thee and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo, predajem te užasu, tebe i sve prijatelje tvoje, i poginut će od mača neprijatelja svojih, svojim ćeš očima vidjeti. I svu Judeju dat ću u ruke kralju babilonskom. On će ih odvesti u izgnanstvo u Babilon i mačem pobiti.
5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.
I sve bogatstvo ovoga grada, sav njegov trudom stečeni imetak i sve dragocjenosti te sve blago kraljeva judejskih predat ću u ruke neprijateljima. Oni će sve opljačkati, ugrabiti i u Babilon odnijeti.'
6 And thou and all the dwellers in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt die in Babylon, and there thou and all thy friends shall be buried, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
A ti ćeš se, Pašhure, sa svim svojim ukućanima seliti u Babilon. Da, u Babilon ćeš doći i ondje umrijeti i biti pokopan, ti i svi tvoji prijatelji kojima si laži prorokovao.”
7 Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I have been deceived: thou hast been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock, I am continually mocked every day.
Ti me zavede, o Jahve, i dadoh se zavesti, nadjačao si me i svladao me. A sada sam svima na podsmijeh iz dana u dan, svatko me ismijava.
8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call upon rebellion and misery: for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.
Jer kad god progovorim, moram vikati, naviještati moram: “Nasilje! Propast!” Doista, riječ mi Jahvina postade na ruglo i podsmijeh povazdan.
9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and cannot bear [up].
I rekoh u sebi: neću više na nj misliti niti ću govoriti u njegovo ime. Al' tad mi u srcu bi kao rasplamtjeli oganj, zapretan u kostima mojim: uzalud se trudih da izdržim, ne mogoh više.
10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, [saying], Conspire ye, and let us conspire together against him, [even] all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.
Čuh klevete mnogih: “Užas odasvud! Prijavite! Mi ćemo ga prijaviti.” Svi koji mi bijahu prijatelji čekahu moj pad. “Možda ga zavedemo, pa ćemo njim ovladati i njemu se osvetiti!”
11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war: therefore they persecuted [me], but could not perceive [anything against me]; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.
Sa mnom je Jahve kao snažan junak! Zato će progonitelji moji posrnuti i neće nadvladati, postidjet će se veoma zbog poraza, zbog nezaboravne vječne sramote.
12 O Lord, that provest just [deeds], understanding the reins and hearts, let me see thy vengeance upon them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.
O Jahve nad Vojskama, koji proničeš pravednika i vidiš mu bubrege i srce, daj da vidim kako im se osvećuješ, jer tebi povjerih parnicu svoju.
13 Sing ye to the Lord, sing praise to him: for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.
Pjevajte Jahvi, hvalite Jahvu, jer on izbavi dušu sirote iz ruku zlikovaca.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: the day wherein my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.
Proklet bio dan kad se rodih, dan kad me rodi majka moja ne bio blagoslovljen!
15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to thee.
Proklet bio čovjek koji ocu mom dojavi: “Rodio ti se sin, muškić!” i time mi oca obradova.
16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;
Tom čovjeku bilo kao gradovima što ih Jahve nemilice razvali; već u cik zore čuo zapomaganje i poklike bojne u podne,
17 because he slew me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.
jer me ne pogubi u majčinoj utrobi da bi majka bila moj grob, da bi joj utroba dovijeka ostala trudna!
18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?
O, zašto izađoh iz majčina krila? Da vidim jad i nevolju i u sramoti da dokončam dane!
