Jeremias 22
1 Thus saith the Lord; Go thou, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and thou shalt speak there this word,
Ovako govori Jahve: “Siđi u palaču kralja judejskoga i objavi ondje ovu riječ.
2 and thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest on the throne of David, thou, and thy house, and thy people, and they that go in at these gates:
Reci: Slušaj riječ Jahvinu, kralju judejski, koji sjediš na prijestolju Davidovu, ti i tvoje sluge i tvoj narod koji ulaze na ova vrata.
3 thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
Ovako govori Jahve: 'Činite pravo i pravicu, izbavite potlačene iz ruku tlačitelja! Ne činite krivo strancu, siroti, udovici, ne tlačite ih i ne prolijevajte krvi nedužne na ovome mjestu.
4 For if ye will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
Jer budete li se istinski vladali po riječi ovoj, na vrata ovog dvora ulazit će kraljevi što sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, voze se na kolima i jašu na konjima - oni, njihove sluge i njihov narod.
5 But if ye will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
Ako pak ne poslušate ovih riječi, zaklinjem se sobom - riječ je Jahvina - da ću taj dvor pretvoriti u ruševinu!'”
6 For thus saith the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; Thou art Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make thee a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
Jer ovako govori Jahve o dvoru kralja judejskoga: “Ti si za me Gilead, vrh libanonski. Ali, uistinu, pretvorit ću te u pustinju, u grad nenastanjen.
7 and I will bring upon thee a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Spremit ću protiv tebe zatirače, svakoga s oružjem njegovim, nek' posijeku izabrane ti cedrove i u vatru ih pobacaju.”
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
Mnoštvo će naroda prolaziti mimo taj grad i pitat će jedan drugoga: “Zašto je Jahve tako postupio s ovim velikim gradom?”
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
Odgovorit će im: “Jer su ostavili Savez Jahve, Boga svoga, klanjali se drugim bogovima i služili im.”
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
Ne oplakujte mrtvoga, ne jadikujte za njim. Radije plačite za onim koji odlazi, jer se nikad više neće vratiti ni rodne grude vidjeti.
11 For thus saith the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
Jer ovako govori Jahve o Šalumu, sinu Jošijinu, kralju judejskomu, koji kraljevaše mjesto oca svoga i morade otići iz ovoga mjesta: “Nikad se više neće vratiti,
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
nego će umrijeti u mjestu kamo ga izagnaše, a ovu zemlju nikad više neće vidjeti.”
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbour for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
Jao onom koji kuću gradi nepravedno i gornje odaje diže bez prava; koji bližnjega tjera na tlaku i plaću mu ne isplaćuje;
14 Thou hast built for thyself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
koji kaže: “Sagradit ću sebi kuću prostranu i prozračne gornje odaje!” koji probija prozore, oblaže ih cedrovinom crveno obojenom.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou art provoked with thy father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for thee to execute judgment and justice.
Jesi li zato kralj što se cedrom razmećeš? Nije li ti i otac jeo i pio, ali je činio pravo i pravicu i zato mu bješe dobro.
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this thy not knowing me? saith the Lord.
Branio je pravo siromaha i jadnika, i zato mu bješe dobro. Zar ne znači to mene poznavati? - riječ je Jahvina.
17 Behold, thine eyes are not good, nor thine heart, but [they go] after thy covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
Ali tvoje oči i srce idu samo za dobitkom, da krv nevinu prolijevaš, da nasilje činiš i krivdu.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
Zato ovako govori Jahve o Jojakimu, sinu Jošijinu, kralju judejskom: “Za njim neće naricati: 'Jao, brate moj! Jao, sestro moja!' Za njim neće naricati: 'Jao, gospodaru! Jao, veličanstvo!'
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
Pokopat će ga k'o magarca, izvući ga i baciti izvan vrata Jeruzalema.”
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter thy voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
“Popni se na Libanon i viči, po Bašanu nek' se ori glas, s Abarima buči, jer svi su tvoji prijatelji slomljeni!
21 I spoke to thee on [occasion of] thy trespass, but thou saidst, I will not hearken. This [has been] thy way from thy youth, thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
Lijepo sam te svjetovao u danima mirnim, al' ti mi reče: 'Neću slušati!' Tako se vladaš od mladosti: ne slušaš glasa mojega.
22 The wind shall tend all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; for then shalt thou be ashamed and disgraced because of all thy lovers.
Sve će tvoje pastire vjetar popasti, a ljubavnici će tvoji u izgnanstvo. Tada ćeš se stidjet' i sramiti zbog sve pakosti svoje.
23 O thou that dwellest in Libanus, making thy nest in the cedars, thou shalt groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon thee.
Ti što prebivaš na Libanonu, ti što se gnijezdiš po cedrovima, kako li ćeš stenjati kad bolovi te spopadnu, trudovi porodilje.
24 [As] I live, saith the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck thee;
Života mi moga - riječ je Jahvina - kad bi Konija, sin Jojakimov, kralj judejski, bio pečatnjak na mojoj desnici, ja bih ga strgao s prsta.
25 and I will deliver thee into the hands of them that seek thy life, before whom thou art afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
Dat ću te u ruke onima koji ti rade o glavi, u ruke onima pred kojima dršćeš, u ruke Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog, i u ruke Kaldejaca.
26 And I will cast forth thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a land where thou wast not born; and there ye shall die.
I bacit ću tebe i majku koja te rodila u drugu zemlju gdje se niste rodili; tamo ćete umrijeti.
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
Ali u zemlju u koju čeznu da se vrate neće se vratiti!”
28 Jechonias is dishonoured as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
TÓa zar je taj čovjek Konija sud prezren, razbijen? Il' posuda što nikom se ne sviđa? Zašto bjehu protjerani on i potomstvo, prognani u zemlju koja im je posve neznana?
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
Zemljo, zemljo, zemljo, poslušaj riječ Jahvinu.
30 Write ye this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Upišite za ovoga čovjeka: 'Bez djece. Život mu se nije posrećio. Nitko od potomstva njegova neće sjesti na prijesto Davidov ni vladati Judejom.'”
