Jeremiah 34
1 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came with the armies of all the kingdoms that he ruled, and they fought against Jerusalem and the other towns [in Judah]. At that time, Yahweh gave me this message:
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 “Go to Zedekiah the King of Judah, and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: “I am about to enable the army of the King of Babylon to capture this city, and they 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 You will not escape from them; they will capture you and take you to the king of Babylon. And [then] they will take you 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 But King Zedekiah, listen to this that Yahweh has promised: ‘You will not be killed in a battle [MTY];
Ali èuj rijeè Gospodnju, Sedekija care Judin; ovako veli Gospod za te: neæeš poginuti od maèa.
5 you will die peacefully. [When you die], people will burn incense to honor/remember you just as they did for your ancestors who were kings before you became king. They will mourn for you, crying, “We are very sad that our king is dead!” I, Yahweh, promise that will happen.’”
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 [So] I took that message to King Zedekiah.
I kaza Jeremija prorok Sedekiji caru Judinu sve ove rijeèi u Jerusalimu.
7 At that time the army of Babylonia had surrounded Jerusalem and Lachish and Azekah. Those [three] cities were the only cities in Judah that had high walls around them that still had not been captured.
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 King Zedekiah had decreed that the people must free their slaves.
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda kad car Sedekija uèini zavjet sa svijem narodom koji bješe u Jerusalimu da im proglasi slobodu,
9 [He decreed that] the people must free their Hebrew slaves, [both the] men slaves and the women [slaves]. No one would be allowed to force a fellow Jew to [continue to] be his slave.
Da svaki otpusti slobodna roba svojega i robinju svoju, Jevrejina i Jevrejku, da ni u koga ne bude rob Judejac brat njegov.
10 The officials and the rest of the people had obeyed [what the king decreed],
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. They forced the men and women whom they had freed to become their 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 [So] Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to them]:
I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
13 “I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israelis [say you belong to], (made an agreement with/gave this command to) your ancestors [long ago], when I rescued them from being slaves in Egypt.
Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ja uèinih zavjet s ocima vašim kad vas izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, iz doma ropskoga, govoreæi:
14 I told them that they must free all their Hebrew slaves after the slaves had worked for them for six years. But your ancestors did not pay any attention to what I said.
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 obeyed my command and stopped doing what was wrong and did what was right. You made a solemn agreement at my temple [that you would free your slaves], and [then] you freed them.
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 disregarded what you solemnly promised, and you have shown contempt for what I [MTY] said by taking back the women and men whom you had freed and said they could live wherever they wanted to. [Now] you have forced them to be your slaves again.
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 [I], Yahweh, say: ‘Because you have not obeyed me by freeing your fellow Israelis, I will free you to [be destroyed by] the swords [of your enemies] and by famines and diseases. All the nations of the earth will be horrified because of [what happens to] you.
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 Because you have disregarded what I said in my agreement with you, I will do to you just like you did to the calves that you cut in half to show that you would surely do what you solemnly promised that you would do. I will [enable your enemies to] cut you into pieces, you officials of Judah and you officials of Jerusalem, and you officials in the palace, and you priests and all you common people. I will do that because you have disregarded what you solemnly promised [about freeing your slaves].
I predaæu ljude koji prestupiše moj zavjet, koji ne izvršiše rijeèi zavjeta koji uèiniše preda mnom, rasjekavši tele na dvoje i prošavši izmeðu polovina,
Knezove Judine i knezove Jerusalimske, dvorane i sveštenike i sav narod ove zemlje, koji proðoše izmeðu polovina onoga teleta,
20 I will enable your enemies to capture you, and they will kill you. And your bodies will be food for vultures and wild animals.
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 I will enable the army of the king of Babylon to capture King Zedekiah and his officials. Although the king of Babylon and his army have left Jerusalem [for a short time],
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 I will summon them back again. [This time], they will fight against this city and capture it and burn it down. I will make [sure] that all the towns in Judah are destroyed, [with the result that] no one will live there [any more].’”
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.
