Jeremiah, 36

1. And it happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: it happened that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

1. Èetvrte godine Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga, uputi Jahve Jeremiji ovu rijeè:

2. “Take the volume of a book, and you shall write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah, and against all the nations, from the day when I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.

2. "Uzmi svitak i zapiši na nj sve rijeèi koje ti kazah o Jeruzalemu, Judeji i svim narodima, od dana kad ti poèeh govoriti, od dana Jošijinih do dana današnjega.

3. Perhaps it may be that the house of Judah, upon hearing all the evils that I have decided to do to them, may return, each one from his wicked way, and then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

3. Možda æe èuti dom Judin o svim nesreæama što sam ih naumio oboriti na njih te æe se vratiti svaki sa svoga zlog puta, a ja æu im oprostiti krivicu i grijeh njihov."

4. Therefore, Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, in the volume of a book.

4. Tada Jeremija dozva Baruha, sina Nerijina, i Baruh napisa na svitak, po kazivanju Jeremijinu, sve rijeèi koje mu Jahve bijaše objavio.

5. And Jeremiah instructed Baruch, saying: “I am confined, and so I am unable to enter into the house of the Lord.

5. Tada Jeremija naredi Baruhu: "Meni nije slobodno te ne mogu poæi u Dom Jahvin.

6. Therefore, you shall enter and read from the volume, in which you have written from my mouth the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the house of the Lord on the day of the fast. Moreover, you shall also read them in the hearing of all those of Judah who are arriving from their cities.

6. Idi ti te na dan posta u Domu Jahvinu èitaj narodu rijeèi Jahvine iz svitka što si ga po mojem kazivanju napisao. Proèitaj ih i svim Judejcima koji su došli iz svojih gradova.

7. Perhaps it may happen that they pray in the sight of the Lord, and each one may return from his wicked way. For great is the fury and indignation that the Lord has declared against this people.”

7. Možda æe se vapaji njihovi vinuti k Jahvi i možda æe se obratiti svatko sa zloga puta svojega; jer je velik bijes i srdžba kojima Jahve prijeti ovom narodu."

8. And Baruch, the son of Neriah, acted in accord with all that Jeremiah, the prophet, had instructed him, reading from the volume the words of the Lord, in the house of the Lord.

8. I Baruh, sin Nerijin, uèini sve kako mu prorok Jeremija bijaše zapovjedio da proèita rijeèi Jahvine u Domu Jahvinu.

9. And it happened that, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast, in the sight of the Lord, to all the people in Jerusalem, and to the entire multitude which had flowed together, from the cities of Judah, into Jerusalem.

9. U petoj godini Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga, mjeseca devetoga, pozvaše na post pred Jahvu sav narod jeruzalemski i sav narod što mogaše stiæi iz gradova judejskih u Jeruzalem.

10. And Baruch read from the volume the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, at the treasury of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper vestibule, at the entrance to the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people.

10. Baruh svemu narodu proèita rijeèi Jeremije iz svitka u Domu Jahvinu, u dvorani Gemarje, sina pisara Šafana, u gornjem predvorju pred Novim vratima Jahvina Doma.

11. And when Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book,

11. A kad Mikaj, sin Šafanova sina Gemarje, èu iz knjige sve Jahvine rijeèi,

12. he descended to the house of the king, to the treasury of the scribe. And behold, all the leaders were sitting there: Elishama, the scribe, and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the leaders.

12. siðe u kraljevski dvor u sobu pisarovu, gdje upravo sjeðahu svi dostojanstvenici: pisar Elišama, Delaja, sin Šemajin, Elnatan, sin Akborov, Gemarja, sin Šafanov, Sidkija, sin Hananijin, i svi drugi dostojanstvenici.

13. And Micaiah announced to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the volume to the ears of the people.

13. Mikaj im kaza sve rijeèi što ih bijaše èuo kad ih je Baruh narodu èitao iz knjige.

14. And so, all the leaders sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the volume, from which you have read in the hearing of the people, and come.” Therefore, Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the volume in his hand, and he went to them.

14. Tada dostojanstvenici poslaše Jehudija, sina Netanijina, i Šelemju, sina Kušijeva, Baruhu da mu kažu: "Uzmi u ruke svitak iz kojega si èitao narodu i doði!" Tada Baruh, sin Nerijin, uze svitak u ruke i doðe k njima.

15. And they said to him, “Sit and read these things in our hearing.” And Baruch read in their hearing.

15. Oni mi rekoše: "Hajde, sjedi i proèitaj nam!" I Baruh im proèita.

16. Therefore, when they had heard all the words, each one looked at his neighbor in astonishment, and they said to Baruch: “We ought to report all these words to the king.”

16. Kad èuše sve one rijeèi, uplašeno se pogledaše i rekoše Baruhu: "Moramo sve to kazati kralju."

17. And they questioned him, saying, “Describe to us how you wrote all these words from his mouth.”

17. I upitaše Baruha: "Hajde, objasni nam kako ti napisa sve te rijeèi."

18. Then Baruch said to them: “He was speaking with his mouth, as if reading to me. And I wrote in a volume with ink.”

18. Baruh æe njima: "Jeremija mi je sve te rijeèi u pero kazivao, a ja sam ih crnilom u knjigu zapisao."

19. And the leaders said to Baruch: “Go away and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”

19. Tada dostojanstvenici rekoše Baruhu: "Idi i sakrijte se, ti i Jeremija; nitko da ne zna gdje ste."

20. And they entered to the king, in the court. Furthermore, they stored the volume in the treasury of Elishama, the scribe. And they announced all the words in the hearing of the king.

20. I, pohranivši svitak u dvorani pisara Elišame, poðoše kralju u dvorsko predvorje i sve mu ispripovjediše.

21. And the king sent Jehudi to take the volume. And bringing it from the treasury of Elishama, the scribe, he read it in the hearing of the king and of all the leaders who were standing around the king.

21. Kralj posla Jehudija da donese svitak: on ga donese iz sobe pisara Elišame i proèita ga kralju i dostojanstvenicima koji stajahu oko njega.

22. Now the king was sitting in the winter house, in the ninth month. And there was a hearth placed before him, filled with burning coals.

22. Kralj je sjedio u zimskim odajama - bijaše to u devetom mjesecu - a pred njim stajaše ražarena žeravnica.

23. And when Jehudi had read three or four pages, he cut it with a small knife, and he threw it into the fire which was upon the hearth, until the entire volume was consumed by the fire which was upon the hearth.

23. I kako bi Jehudi proèitao tri-èetiri stupca, kralj bi ih rezao pisarskim perorezom i bacao u vatru na žeravnice sve dok cio svitak ne bi uništen u vatri žeravnice.

24. And the king and all his servants, who had heard all these words, were not afraid, and they did not rend their garments.

24. Ni kralj ni njegove sluge ne prestrašiše se niti razderaše haljina kad èuše te rijeèi,

25. Yet truly, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah contradicted the king, so that he might not burn the book. But he did not listen to them.

25. pa ipak Elnatan, Delaja i Gemarja moljahu kralja da ne spali svitak, ali on ih ne posluša.

26. And the king instructed Jerahmeel, the son of Amelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, so that they would apprehend Baruch, the scribe, and Jeremiah, the prophet. But the Lord concealed them.

26. Tada kralj zapovjedi kraljeviæu Jerahmeelu i Seraji, sinu Azrielovu, i Šelemji, sinu Abdeelovu, da uhvate pisara Baruha i proroka Jeremiju. Ali ih Jahve bijaše sakrio.

27. And after the king had burned the volume and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, saying:

27. Pošto je dakle kralj spalio svitak s rijeèima što ih Baruh bijaše zapisao po Jeremijinu kazivanju, doðe rijeè Jahvina Jeremiji:

28. “Again, take another volume and write in it all the former words, which were in the first volume that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.

28. "Uzmi drugi svitak i upiši u nj sve one rijeèi što bijahu na prvom svitku koji je Jojakim, kralj judejski, spalio.

29. And you shall say to Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: Thus says the Lord: You have burned that volume, saying: ‘Why have you written in it, announcing that the king of Babylon will advance quickly, and will devastate this land, and will cause both man and beast to cease from it?’

29. A protiv Jojakima, kralja judejskoga, ovako reci: Ovako govori Jahve: Spalio si svitak govoreæi: 'Zašto si u njemu napisao da æe doæi kralj babilonski koji æe opustošiti zemlju ovu i istrijebiti i ljude i stoku?'

30. Because of this, thus says the Lord against Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: There will be, from him, no one who may sit upon the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out: to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.

30. Zato ovako govori Jahve protiv Jojakima, kralja judejskoga: 'On neæe imati potomka da sjedne na prijestolje Davidovo, a njegovo mrtvo tijelo bit æe baèeno na pripeku danju i noæni mraz.

31. And I will visit against him, and against his offspring, and against his servants for their iniquities. And I will lead over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and over the men of Judah, all the evil that I have declared against them, for they have not listened.”

31. Kaznit æu njega, i potomstvo njegovo, i sluge njegove zbog njihova bezakonja, i svalit æu na Jeruzalemce i na Judejce sve zlo kojim sam im prijetio, a nisu me slušali."

32. Then Jeremiah took up another volume, and he gave it to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the scribe, who wrote in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned with fire. And moreover, there were many more words added than there had been before.

32. Tada Jeremija uze drugi svitak, dade ga pisaru Baruhu, sinu Nerijinu, i on po kazivanju Jeremijinu upisa sve rijeèi knjige koju je Jojakim, kralj judejski, na žeravnici spalio. I k njima je dopisano još mnogo onakvih rijeèi.
