Jeremiah, 20

1. And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.

1. A sveæenik Pašhur, sin Imerov, vrhovni nadzornik Doma Jahvina, èu kako Jeremija prorokuje te rijeèi.

2. And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.

2. I Pašhur dade Jeremiju batinati i baci ga u klade što se nalaze kod gornjih vrata Benjaminovih, a u Domu su Jahvinu.

3. And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’ ”

3. A kad sutradan Pašhur pusti Jeremiju iz klada, reèe mu Jeremija: "Jahve te više ne zove Pašhur veæ 'Užas odasvud'.

4. For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.

4. Jer ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo, predajem te užasu, tebe i sve prijatelje tvoje, i poginut æe od maèa neprijatelja svojih, svojim æeš oèima vidjeti. I svu Judeju dat æu u ruke kralju babilonskom. On æe ih odvesti u izgnanstvo u Babilon i maèem pobiti.

5. And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.

5. I sve bogatstvo ovoga grada, sav njegov trudom steèeni imetak i sve dragocjenosti te sve blago kraljeva judejskih predat æu u ruke neprijateljima. Oni æe sve opljaèkati, ugrabiti i u Babilon odnijeti.'

6. But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”

6. A ti æeš se, Pašhure, sa svim svojim ukuæanima seliti u Babilon. Da, u Babilon æeš doæi i ondje umrijeti i biti pokopan, ti i svi tvoji prijatelji kojima si laži prorokovao."

7. “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.

7. Ti me zavede, o Jahve, i dadoh se zavesti, nadjaèao si me i svladao me. A sada sam svima na podsmijeh iz dana u dan, svatko me ismijava.

8. For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.

8. Jer kad god progovorim, moram vikati, naviještati moram: "Nasilje! Propast!" Doista, rijeè mi Jahvina postade na ruglo i podsmijeh povazdan.

9. Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.

9. I rekoh u sebi: neæu više na nj misliti niti æu govoriti u njegovo ime. Al' tad mi u srcu bi kao rasplamtjeli oganj, zapretan u kostima mojim: uzalud se trudih da izdržim, ne mogoh više.

10. For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’

10. Èuh klevete mnogih: "Užas odasvud! Prijavite! Mi æemo ga prijaviti." Svi koji mi bijahu prijatelji èekahu moj pad. "Možda ga zavedemo, pa æemo njim ovladati i njemu se osvetiti!"

11. But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.

11. Sa mnom je Jahve kao snažan junak! Zato æe progonitelji moji posrnuti i neæe nadvladati, postidjet æe se veoma zbog poraza, zbog nezaboravne vjeène sramote.

12. And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.

12. O Jahve nad Vojskama, koji pronièeš pravednika i vidiš mu bubrege i srce, daj da vidim kako im se osveæuješ, jer tebi povjerih parnicu svoju.

13. Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.

13. Pjevajte Jahvi, hvalite Jahvu, jer on izbavi dušu sirote iz ruku zlikovaca.

14. Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!

14. Proklet bio dan kad se rodih, dan kad me rodi majka moja ne bio blagoslovljen!

15. Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.

15. Proklet bio èovjek koji ocu mom dojavi: "Rodio ti se sin, muškiæ!" i time mi oca obradova.

16. Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!

16. Tom èovjeku bilo kao gradovima što ih Jahve nemilice razvali; veæ u cik zore èuo zapomaganje i poklike bojne u podne,

17. So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!

17. jer me ne pogubi u majèinoj utrobi da bi majka bila moj grob, da bi joj utroba dovijeka ostala trudna!

18. Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”

18. O, zašto izaðoh iz majèina krila? Da vidim jad i nevolju i u sramoti da dokonèam dane!
