< Jeremiah 26 >

1 In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, came this worde from the Lord, saying,
U početku kraljevanja Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja Judina, dođe mi riječ Jahvina.
2 Thus saith the Lord, Sande in the court of the Lordes House, and speake vnto all the cities of Iudah, which come to worshippe in the Lords House, all the wordes that I commaund thee to speake vnto them: keepe not a worde backe,
Ovako govori Jahve: “Stani u predvorju Doma Jahvina i svim gradovima judejskim koji dolaze da se poklone u Domu Jahvinu naviještaj sve riječi koje sam ti zapovjedio da im kažeš. I ne izostavi ni jedne jedine.
3 If so be they will hearken, and turne euery man from his euill way, that I may repent me of the plague, which I haue determined to bring vpon them, because of the wickednesse of their workes.
Možda će poslušati i vratiti se svaki sa zla puta svoga, pa ću se pokajati za zlo koje naumih učiniti zbog zlodjela njihovih.
4 And thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not heare me to walke in my Lawes, which I haue set before you,
Reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ako me ne poslušate da hodite po Zakonu što ga stavih pred vas,
5 And to heare ye wordes of my seruants the Prophets, whome I sent vnto you, both rising vp earely, and sending them, and will not obey them,
slušajući riječi slugu mojih proroka koje vam neumorno šaljem, premda ih do sada niste slušali,
6 Then will I make this House like Shiloh, and will make this citie a curse to all the nations of the earth.
postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i učinit ću da ovaj grad bude prokletstvo za sve narode na zemlji.'”
7 So the Priestes, and the Prophets, and all the people heard Ieremiah speaking these wordes in the House of the Lord.
I svećenici i proroci i sav narod slušahu Jeremiju kako naviješta te riječi u Domu Jahvinu.
8 Nowe when Ieremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speake vnto all the people, then the Priestes, and the prophets, and all the people tooke him, and saide, Thou shalt die the death.
A kad Jeremija izreče sve ono što mu je Gospod zapovjedio da naviješta svemu narodu, zgrabiše ga svećenici i proroci govoreći: “Platit ćeš glavom!
9 Why hast thou prophecied in the Name of the Lord, saying, This House shall be like Shiloh, and this citie shalbe desolate without an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Ieremiah in the House of the Lord.
Zašto si u ime Jahvino prorokovao: 'Postupit ću s ovim Domom kao sa Šilom i ovaj će grad biti opustošen te nitko više u njemu neće stanovati?'” I sav se narod skupi na Jeremiju u Domu Jahvinu.
10 And when the princes of Iudah heard of these things, they came vp from the Kings house into the House of the Lord, and sate downe in the entrie of the new gate of the Lords House.
Čuvši to, starješine judejske dođoše iz kraljevskog dvora u Dom Jahvin i sjedoše pred Nova vrata Doma Jahvina.
11 Then spake the Priestes, and the prophets vnto the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is worthie to die: for he hath prophecied against this citie, as ye haue heard with your eares.
Tada svećenici i proroci rekoše starješinama i svemu narodu: “Ovaj je čovjek zaslužio smrt jer je prorokovao protiv ovoga grada, kao što ste čuli na svoje uši.”
12 Then spake Ieremiah vnto all the princes, and to al the people, saying, The Lord hath sent me to prophecie against this house and against this citie all the things that ye haue heard.
Tada Jeremija reče starješinama i svemu narodu: “Jahve me posla da prorokujem protiv ovoga Doma i ovoga grada sve ono što ste čuli.
13 Therefore nowe amende your wayes and your workes, and heare the voyce of the Lord your God, that the Lord may repent him of the plague, that he hath pronounced against you.
Popravite, dakle, putove svoje i djela svoja i slušajte glas Jahve, Boga svoga: i pokajat će se za zlo kojim vam se zaprijetio.
14 As for me, beholde, I am in your hands: do with me as ye thinke good and right.
Ja sam, evo, u vašim rukama. Učinite sa mnom što vam se čini dobro i pravo.
15 But knowe ye for certaine, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood vpon your selues, and vpon this citie, and vpon the inhabitants thereof: for of a trueth the Lord hath sent me vnto you, to speake all these words in your eares.
Ali dobro znajte: ako me pogubite, krv nedužnu navalit ćete na sebe, na ovaj grad i na njegove stanovnike. Jer, zaista, Jahve me posla k vama da u vaše uši govorim sve ove riječi.”
16 Then saide the princes and all the people vnto the Priestes, and to the prophets, This man is not worthie to die: for he hath spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord our God.
Tada rekoše starješine i sav narod svećenicima i prorocima: “Ovaj čovjek nipošto ne zaslužuje smrt, jer nam je govorio u ime Jahve, Boga našega.”
17 Then rose vp certaine of the Elders of the lande, and spake to all the assemblie of the people, saying,
Nato ustadoše i neki od najuglednijih u zemlji te rekoše svemu mnoštvu naroda što se ondje okupilo:
18 Michah the Morashite prophecied in the dayes of Hezekiah king of Iudah, and spake to al the people of Iudah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Zion shall be plowed like a fielde, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the House shalbe as the hie places of the forest.
“Mihej Morešećanin prorokovaše u dane Ezekije, kralja judejskog, i govoraše svemu narodu judejskom: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Sion će biti polje preorano, Jeruzalem ruševina, a Goru Doma ovog šuma će prekriti.'
19 Did Hezekiah King of Iudah, and all Iudah put him to death? did he not feare ye Lord, and prayed before the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the plague, that he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great euill against our soules.
Je li ga zato pogubio Ezekija, kralj judejski, i sva Judeja? Nisu li se pobojali Jahve i nastojali da Jahvu umilostive, te se Jahve pokaja za zlo kojim im se bijaše zaprijetio? A mi, zar da na duše svoje navalimo tako velik zločin?”
20 And there was also a man that prophecied in the Name of the Lord, one Vriiah the sonne of Shemaiah, of Kiriath-iarem, who prophecied against this citie, and against this lande, according to all the wordes of Ieremiah.
Bijaše ondje još neki koji prorokovaše u ime Jahvino, Urija, sin Šemajin, rodom iz Kirjat Jearima. I on prorokovaše protiv ovoga grada i zemlje ove kao i Jeremija.
21 Nowe when Iehoiakim the King with all his men of power, and all the princes heard his wordes, the King sought to slay him. But when Vriiah heard it, he was afraide and fled, and went into Egypt.
A kad je kralj Jojakim sa svim ratnicima i zapovjednicima čuo te riječi, tražio je da ga smakne. Čuvši to, Urija se prestraši i pobježe u Egipat.
22 Then Iehoiakim the King sent men into Egypt, euen Elnathan the sonne of Achbor, and certaine with him into Egypt.
Ali kralj Jojakim posla u Egipat Elnatana, sina Akborova, s nekoliko ljudi;
23 And they fet Vriiah out of Egypt, and brought him vnto Iehoiakim the King, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead bodie into the graues of the children of the people.
dovedoše oni Uriju iz Egipta i odvedoše ga kralju Jojakimu, koji ga mačem pogubi, a truplo njegovo baci na groblje prostoga puka.
24 But the hande of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan was with Ieremiah that they shoulde not giue him into the hande of the people to put him to death.
Ali Ahikam, sin Šafanov, zaštiti Jeremiju te ga ne predaše u ruke narodu da ga pogube.
