Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said the Lord, Goe downe to the house of the King of Iudah, and speake there this thing,
Ovako govori Jahve: “Siđi u palaču kralja judejskoga i objavi ondje ovu riječ.
2 And say, Heare the worde of the Lord, O King of Iudah, that sittest vpon the throne of Dauid, thou and thy seruants, and thy people that enter in by 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 iudgement and righteousnes, and deliuer the oppressed from the hande of the oppressor, and vexe not the stranger, the fatherlesse, nor the widowe: doe no violence, nor sheade 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 do this thing, then shall the kings sitting vpon the throne of Dauid enter in by the gates of this House, and ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both he and his seruants and his 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 heare these wordes, I sweare by my selfe, saith the Lord, that this House shalbe waste.
Ako pak ne poslušate ovih riječi, zaklinjem se sobom - riječ je Jahvina - da ću taj dvor pretvoriti u ruševinu!'”
6 For thus hath the Lord spoken vpon the Kings house of Iudah, Thou art Gilead vnto me, and the head of Lebanon, yet surely I wil make thee a wildernes and as cities not 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 prepare destroyers against thee, euery one with his weapons, and they shall cut downe thy chiefe cedar trees, and cast them in the fire.
Spremit ću protiv tebe zatirače, svakoga s oružjem njegovim, nek' posijeku izabrane ti cedrove i u vatru ih pobacaju.”
8 And many nations shall passe by this citie, and they shall say euery man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this great citie?
Mnoštvo će naroda prolaziti mimo taj grad i pitat će jedan drugoga: “Zašto je Jahve tako postupio s ovim velikim gradom?”
9 Then shall they answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and serued them.
Odgovorit će im: “Jer su ostavili Savez Jahve, Boga svoga, klanjali se drugim bogovima i služili im.”
10 Weepe not for the dead, and be not moued for them, but weepe for him that goeth out: for he shall returne no more, nor see his natiue countrey.
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 ye Lord, As touching Shallum the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, which reigned for Iosiah his father, which went out of this place, he shall not returne thither,
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 he shall die in the place, whither they haue ledde him captiue, and shall see this lande no more.
nego će umrijeti u mjestu kamo ga izagnaše, a ovu zemlju nikad više neće vidjeti.”
13 Wo vnto him that buildeth his house by vnrighteousnesse, and his chambers without equitie: he vseth his neighbour without wages, and giueth him not for his worke.
Jao onom koji kuću gradi nepravedno i gornje odaje diže bez prava; koji bližnjega tjera na tlaku i plaću mu ne isplaćuje;
14 He saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers: so he will make him selfe large windowes, and feeling with cedar, and paint them with vermilion.
koji kaže: “Sagradit ću sebi kuću prostranu i prozračne gornje odaje!” koji probija prozore, oblaže ih cedrovinom crveno obojenom.
15 Shalt thou reigne, because thou closest thy selfe in cedar? did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper, when he executed iudgement and iustice?
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 When he iudged the cause of the afflicted and the poore, he prospered: was not this because he knewe 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 But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy couetousnesse, and for to sheade innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, euen to doe this.
Ali tvoje oči i srce idu samo za dobitkom, da krv nevinu prolijevaš, da nasilje činiš i krivdu.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Iehoiakim, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourne for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glorie.
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 shalbe buryed, as an asse is buryed, euen drawen and cast foorth without the gates of Ierusalem.
Pokopat će ga k'o magarca, izvući ga i baciti izvan vrata Jeruzalema.”
20 Goe vp to Lebanon, and cry: showte in Bashan and crye by the passages: for all thy louers 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 spake vnto thee when thou wast in prosperitie: but thou saidest, I will not heare: this hath bene thy maner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voyce.
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 feede all thy pastors, and thy louers shall goe into captiuitie: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of al thy wickednesse.
Sve će tvoje pastire vjetar popasti, a ljubavnici će tvoji u izgnanstvo. Tada ćeš se stidjet' i sramiti zbog sve pakosti svoje.
23 Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, howe beautiful shalt thou be when sorowes come vpon thee, as the sorowe of a woman in trauaile?
Ti što prebivaš na Libanonu, ti što se gnijezdiš po cedrovima, kako li ćeš stenjati kad bolovi te spopadnu, trudovi porodilje.
24 As I liue, saith the Lord, though Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I plucke thee thence.
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 giue thee into the hande of them that seeke thy life, and into the hande of them, whose face thou fearest, euen into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and into the hande of the Caldeans.
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 cause them to cary thee away, and thy mother that bare thee, into another countrey, where ye were not borne, and there shall ye die.
I bacit ću tebe i majku koja te rodila u drugu zemlju gdje se niste rodili; tamo ćete umrijeti.
27 But to the lande, whereunto they desire to returne, they shall not returne thither.
Ali u zemlju u koju čeznu da se vrate neće se vratiti!”
28 Is not this man Coniah as a despised and broken idole? or as a vessell, wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they caryed away, hee and his seede, and cast out into a lande that they knowe 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 O earth, earth, earth, heare the worde of the Lord.
Zemljo, zemljo, zemljo, poslušaj riječ Jahvinu.
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write this man destitute of children, a man that shall not prosper in his dayes: for there shall be no man of his seede that shall prosper and sit vpon the throne of Dauid, or beare rule any more in Iudah.
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.'”
