Jeremiah 34
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all his army, all the earthly kingdoms under his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda, kad Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski i sva vojska njegova, i sva carstva zemaljska koja bijahu pod njegovom vlašæu, i svi narodi vojevahu na Jerusalim i na sve gradove njegove, i reèe:
2 The LORD, the God of Israel, told Jeremiah to go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him that this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: idi i kaži Sedekiji caru Judinu i reci mu: ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu predati taj grad u ruke caru Vavilonskom, i on æe ga spaliti ognjem.
3 And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.
A ti neæeš uteæi iz njegove ruke, nego æeš biti uhvaæen i predan u njegove ruke, i oèi æe se tvoje vidjeti s oèima cara Vavilonskoga i njegova æe usta govoriti s tvojim ustima, i otiæi æeš u Vavilon.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
Ali èuj rijeè Gospodnju, Sedekija care Judin; ovako veli Gospod za te: neæeš poginuti od maèa.
5 you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”
Nego æeš umrijeti na miru, i kao što pališe ocima tvojima, preðašnjim carevima, koji su bili prije tebe, tako æe paliti i tebi, i naricaæe za tobom: jaoh gospodaru! jer ja rekoh ovo, govori Gospod.
6 In Jerusalem, then, Jeremiah the prophet relayed all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah
I kaza Jeremija prorok Sedekiji caru Judinu sve ove rijeèi u Jerusalimu.
7 as the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah.
A vojska cara Vavilonskoga udaraše na Jerusalim i na sve ostale gradove Judine, na Lahis i Aziku, jer ti bjehu ostali tvrdi gradovi izmeðu gradova Judinijeh.
8 After King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda kad car Sedekija uèini zavjet sa svijem narodom koji bješe u Jerusalimu da im proglasi slobodu,
9 that each man should free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold his fellow Jew in bondage.
Da svaki otpusti slobodna roba svojega i robinju svoju, Jevrejina i Jevrejku, da ni u koga ne bude rob Judejac brat njegov.
10 So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in bondage. They obeyed and released them,
I poslušaše svi knezovi i sav narod, koji prista na zavjet, da svaki otpusti slobodna roba svojega i robinju svoju, da im ne budu više robovi, poslušaše i otpustiše.
11 but later they changed their minds and took back the menservants and maidservants they had freed, and they forced them to become slaves again.
A poslije opet staše uzimati robove i robinje, koje bijahu otpustili na volju, i nagoniše ih da im budu robovi i robinje.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
13 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:
Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ja uèinih zavjet s ocima vašim kad vas izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, iz doma ropskoga, govoreæi:
14 Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not listen or incline their ear.
Kad se svršuje sedma godina, otpuštajte svaki brata svojega Jevrejina koji ti se bude prodao i služio ti šest godina, otpusti ga slobodna od sebe. Ali ne poslušaše me oci vaši niti prignuše uha svojega.
15 Recently you repented and did what pleased Me; each of you proclaimed freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before Me in the house that bears My Name.
I vi se bjeste sada obratili i uèinili što je pravo preda mnom proglasivši slobodu svaki bližnjemu svojemu, uèinivši zavjet preda mnom u domu koji se zove mojim imenom.
16 But now you have changed your minds and profaned My name. Each of you has taken back the menservants and maidservants whom you had set at liberty to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
Ali udariste natrag i pogrdiste ime moje uzevši opet svaki roba svojega i robinju svoju, koje bijaste otpustili slobodne na njihovu volju, i natjeraste ih da vam budu robovi i robinje.
17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. So now I proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: vi ne poslušaste mene da proglasite slobodu svaki bratu svojemu i bližnjemu svojemu; evo, ja proglašujem slobodu suprot vama, govori Gospod, maèu, pomoru i gladi, i predaæu vas da se potucate po svijem carstvima zemaljskim.
18 And those who have transgressed My covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before Me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two in order to pass between its pieces.
I predaæu ljude koji prestupiše moj zavjet, koji ne izvršiše rijeèi zavjeta koji uèiniše preda mnom, rasjekavši tele na dvoje i prošavši izmeðu polovina,
19 The officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calf,
Knezove Judine i knezove Jerusalimske, dvorane i sveštenike i sav narod ove zemlje, koji proðoše izmeðu polovina onoga teleta,
20 I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives. Their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
Predaæu ih u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem i u ruke onima koji traže dušu njihovu, i mrtva æe tijela njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
21 And I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
I Sedekiju cara Judina i knezove njegove predaæu u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem i u ruke onima koji traže dušu njihovu, u ruke vojsci cara Vavilonskoga, koja se vratila od vas.
22 Behold, I am going to give the command, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, capture it, and burn it down. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Evo, ja æu im zapovjediti, veli Gospod, i dovešæu ih opet na ovaj grad, i biæe ga i uzeæe ga i spaliæe ga ognjem; i gradove Judine obratiæu u pustoš da niko neæe stanovati u njima.
