Jeremiah 27

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

U početku kraljevanja Sidkije, sina Jošije, kralja judejskoga, uputi Jahve Jeremiji ovu riječ.

Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,

Ovako mi reče Jahve: "Načini sebi užad i jaram i stavi ga sebi na vrat.

And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;

Zatim poruči kralju edomskom, kralju moapskom, kralju amonskom, kralju tirskom i kralju sidonskom, po njihovim izaslanicima koji su došli u Jeruzalem kralju judejskom Sidkiji.

And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;

Naredi im da poruče svojim gospodarima: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov! Ovako poručite svojim gospodarima:

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.

Ja sam snagom svojom svesilnom i rukom ispruženom stvorio zemlju, ljude i životinje na zemlji. I ja to dajem kome hoću.

And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

Sada, dakle, sve te zemlje dajem u ruke Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskom, sluzi svojemu; dajem mu i poljsko zvijerje da mu služi.

And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

I svi će narodi služiti njemu i njegovu sinu, i sinu njegova sina, dok i njegovoj zemlji ne kucne čas te i njega ne upokore moćni narodi i veliki kraljevi.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

Ako koji narod, ili kraljevstvo, ne htjedne služiti Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, ne hoteć' se upregnuti u jaram kralja babilonskog, taj ću narod kazniti mačem, glađu i kugom - riječ je Jahvina - dok ga sasvim ne zatrem rukom njegovom.

Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:

Ne slušajte, dakle, svojih proroka, gatalaca, sanjara, zvjezdara svojih i čarobnjaka koji vam govore: 'Ne, vi nećete služiti kralju babilonskom!'

For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.

Jer vam oni laž prorokuju samo da vas udalje iz vaše zemlje, da vas otjeram pa da propadnete.

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

Ali narod koji se upregne u jaram kralja babilonskoga da mu služi ostavit ću na miru u zemlji njegovoj - riječ je Jahvina - da je obrađuje i u njoj živi.'"

I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

Sve sam to rekao Sidkiji, kralju judejskom, govoreći: "Upregnite se u jaram kralja babilonskoga i pokorite se njemu i narodu njegovu da ostanete živi.

Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

Zašto da poginete, ti i narod tvoj, od mača, gladi i kuge, kao što se Jahve zaprijetio narodu koji se ne podvrgne kralju babilonskom?

Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

Ne slušajte, dakle, riječi onih proroka koji vam govore: 'Vi nećete služiti kralju babilonskom.' Oni vam laž prorokuju.

For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

'Jer nisam ih ja poslao da vam prorokuju - riječ je Jahvina - nego vam oni laž prorokuju u moje ime, da vas otjeram iz vaše zemlje, pa da propadnete - vi i proroci koji vam prorokuju.'"

Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

I svećenicima i svemu ovom narodu rekao sam: "Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ne slušajte riječi svojih proroka koji vam ovako prorokuju: Evo, posuđe Doma Jahvina bit će uskoro vraćeno iz Babilona.' Oni vam laži prorokuju.

Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?

Ne slušajte ih! Pokorite se kralju babilonskom da ostanete živi! Zašto da ovaj grad postane ruševina?

But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

Ako su oni zaista proroci, te ako je u njima riječ Jahvina, neka mole Jahvu nad Vojskama da i posuđe što još ostade u Domu Jahvinu i u dvoru kraljeva judejskih i u Jeruzalemu ne dospije u Babilon!

For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

Jer ovako govori Jahve o stupovima, moru, podnožjima i o preostalom posuđu što još ostade u ovome gradu -

Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

što još Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, ne uze sa sobom onda kad odvede u izgnanstvo iz Jeruzalema u Babilon Jekoniju, sina Jojakimova, kralja judejskoga, i sve odličnike judejske i jeruzalemske.

Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

Da, ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov, o posuđu koje preostade u Domu Jahvinu, u dvoru kralja judejskog, i u Jeruzalemu:

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

'U Babilon će ih odnijeti i ondje će ostati sve do dana kad ja odem po njih - riječ je Jahvina. I ja ću sve to donijeti i postaviti na ovo mjesto!'"
