< Jeremiah 27 >

1 When Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
U poèetku carovanja Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina doðe ova rijeè Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
2 This is what the Lord has said to me: Make for yourself bands and yokes and put them on your neck;
Ovako mi reèe Gospod: naèini sebi sveze i jaram, i metni sebi oko vrata.
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by their servants who come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah;
Potom pošlji ih caru Edomskom i caru Moavskom i caru sinova Amonovijeh i caru Tirskom i caru Sidonskom, po poslanicima koji æe doæi u Jerusalim k Sedekiji caru Judinu.
4 And give them orders to say to their masters, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Say to your masters,
I naruèi im neka reku svojim gospodarima: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: ovako recite svojim gospodarima:
5 I have made the earth, and man and beast on the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I will give it to anyone at my pleasure.
Ja sam stvorio zemlju i ljude i stoku, što je po zemlji, silom svojom velikom i mišicom svojom podignutom; i dajem je kome mi je drago.
6 And now I have given all these lands into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given the beasts of the field to him for his use.
I sada ja dadoh sve te zemlje u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom sluzi svojemu, dadoh mu i zvijerje poljsko da mu služi.
7 And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.
I svi æe narodi služiti njemu i sinu njegovu i unuku njegovu dokle doðe vrijeme i njegovoj zemlji, i veliki narodi i silni carevi pokore ga.
8 And it will come about, that if any nation does not become a servant to this same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will send punishment on that nation, says the Lord, by the sword and need of food and by disease, till I have given them into his hands.
A koji narod ili carstvo ne bi htio služiti Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom, i ne bi htio saviti vrata svojega u jaram cara Vavilonskoga, taki æu narod pohoditi maèem i glaðu i pomorom, govori Gospod, dokle ih ne istrijebim rukom njegovom.
9 And you are not to give attention to your prophets or your readers of signs or your dreamers or those who see into the future or those who make use of secret arts, who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon:
Ne slušajte dakle proroka svojih ni vraèa svojih ni sanjaèa svojih ni gatara svojih ni bajaèa svojih, koji vam govore i vele: neæete služiti caru Vavilonskom.
10 For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.
Jer vam oni laž prorokuju, kako bih vas daleko odveo iz zemlje vaše i izagnao vas da izginete.
11 But as for that nation which puts its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and becomes his servant, I will let that nation keep on in its land, farming it and living in it, says the Lord.
A narod koji bi savio vrat svoj pod jaram cara Vavilonskoga i služio mu, ostaviæu ga na zemlji njegovoj, govori Gospod, da je radi i stanuje u njoj.
12 And I said all this to Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying, Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and become his servants and his people, so that you may keep your lives.
I Sedekiji caru Judinu rekoh sve ovo govoreæi: savijte vrat svoj pod jaram cara Vavilonskoga i služite njemu i narodu njegovu, pa æete ostati živi.
13 Why are you desiring death, you and your people, by the sword, and because food is gone, and by disease, as the Lord has said of the nation which does not become the servant of the king of Babylon?
Zašto da poginete ti i narod tvoj od maèa i od gladi i od pomora, kako reèe Gospod za narod koji ne bi služio caru Vavilonskom?
14 And you are not to give ear to the prophets who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon: for what they say is not true.
Ne slušajte dakle što govore proroci koji vam kažu i vele: neæete služiti caru Vavilonskom, jer vam oni prorokuju laž.
15 For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.
Jer ih ja nijesam poslao, govori Gospod, nego lažno prorokuju u moje ime, kako bih vas prognao da izginete i vi i proroci koji vam prorokuju.
16 And I said to the priests and to all the people, This is what the Lord has said: Give no attention to the words of your prophets who say to you, See, in a very little time now the vessels of the Lord's house will come back again from Babylon: for what they say to you is false.
I sveštenicima i svemu narodu govorih i rekoh: ovako veli Gospod: ne slušajte što govore vaši proroci koji vam prorokuju govoreæi: evo, posuðe doma Gospodnjega vratiæe se iz Vavilona skoro. Jer vam oni prorokuju laž.
17 Give no attention to them; become servants of the king of Babylon and keep yourselves from death: why let this town become a waste?
Ne slušajte ih; služite caru Vavilonskom, i ostaæete živi; zašto taj grad da opusti?
18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make request to the Lord of armies that the vessels which are still in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
Ako li su proroci i ako je rijeè Gospodnja u njih, neka mole Gospoda nad vojskama da sudovi što su ostali u domu Gospodnjem i u domu cara Judina i u Jerusalimu ne otidu u Vavilon.
19 For this is what the Lord has said about the rest of the vessels which are still in this town,
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama za stupove i za more i za podnožja i za druge sudove što su ostali u tom gradu,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;
Kojih ne uze Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski kad odvede u ropstvo Jehoniju sina Joakimova cara Judina iz Jerusalima u Vavilon, i sve glavare Judine i Jerusalimske;
21 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about the rest of the vessels in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem:
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev za sudove što ostaše u domu Gospodnjem i u domu cara Judina u Jerusalimu:
22 They will be taken away to Babylon, and there they will be till the day when I send their punishment on them, says the Lord. Then I will take them up and put them back in their place.
U Vavilon æe se odnijeti i ondje æe biti do dana kad æu ih pohoditi, veli Gospod, kad æu ih donijeti i vratiti na ovo mjesto.
