Jeremiah 21

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, when king Sedecias sent unto him Phassur, the son of Melchias, and Sophonias, the son of Maasias the priest, saying:	1 Riječ koju Jahve uputi Jeremiji kad kralj Sidkija posla k njemu Pašhura, sina Malkijina, i svećenika Sefaniju, sina Maasejina, s porukom:
2 Inquire of the Lord for us, for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon maketh war against us: if so be the Lord will deal with us according to all his wonderful works, that he may depart from us.	2 »Hajde, upitaj Jahvu za nas, jer je Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, zavojštio na nas; možda će Jahve opet učiniti s nama čudo, pa će se neprijatelj povući pred nama.«
3 And Jeremias said to them: Thus shall you say to Sedecias:	3 Jeremija im reče: »Ovako recite Sidkiji:
4 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans, that besiege you round about the walls: and I will gather them together in the midst of this city.	4 Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: ‘Povući ću oružje koje je u vašim rukama, kojim se borite protiv kralja babilonskoga i Kaldejaca što vas napadaju izvan zidina, i skupiti ga usred ovoga grada.
5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.	5 I sam ću se boriti protiv vas ispruženom rukom i snažnom mišicom, u srdžbi i gnjevu i velikoj jarosti.
6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, men and beasts shall die of a great pestilence.	6 I strašnom kugom udarit ću stanovnike ovoga grada, ljude i životinje, i pomrijet će.
7 And after this, saith the Lord, I will give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his servants, and his people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, and the sword , and the famine, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword, and he shall not be moved to pity, nor spare them, nor shew mercy on them.	7 Poslije toga ću’ – riječ je Jahvina – ‘Sidkiju, kralja judejskoga, i njegove sluge i narod, i sve one koji preostadoše u tom gradu nakon pošasti, mača i gladi, predati u ruke Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, u ruke njihovih neprijatelja i u ruke onih koji im rade o glavi; on će ih sasjeći oštricom mača bez samilosti, bez milosrđa i bez smilovanja.’
8 And to this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.	8 A ovom narodu reci: Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Evo stavljam pred vas put života i put smrti.
9 He that shall abide in this city, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that shall go out and flee over to the Chaldeans, that besiege you, shall live, and his life shall be to him as a spoil.	9 Tko ostane u ovom gradu, poginut će od mača, gladi i kuge. A tko izađe, te se preda Kaldejcima koji vas opsjedaju, spasit će život – život će mu ostati kao plijen.
10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.	10 Jer, okrenuh lice svoje ovomu gradu na zlo, a ne na dobro’ – riječ je Jahvina – ‘i bit će izručen u ruke kralja babilonskoga, i on će ga vatrom spaliti.’«
11 And to the house of the king of Juda: Hear ye the word of the Lord,	11 Kraljevskom domu Judeje. Čujte riječ Jahvinu,
12 O house of David, this saith the Lord: Judge ye judgement in the morning, and deliver him that is oppressed by violence out of the hand of the oppressor: lest my indignation go forth like a fire, and be kindled, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your ways.	12 dome Davidov! Ovako govori Jahve: »Svako jutro sudite pravedno, izbavite potlačene iz ruku tlačitelja, ili će moj gnjev planut’ poput vatre, raspalit’ se neugasivo zbog vaših opačina.
13 dummy verses inserted by amos	13 Evo me protiv tebe koji stanuješ na Pećini dolinskoj« – riječ je Jahvina – »protiv vas koji kažete: ‘Tko može na nas navaliti, tko u naše nastambe prodrijeti?’
14 Behold I come to thee that dwelleth in a valley upon a rock above a plain, saith the Lord: and you say: Who shall strike us? and who shall enter into our houses?	14 Al’ ja ću vam platiti prema plodu djela vaših« – riječ je Jahvina. »Oganj ću podmetnuti šumi njegovoj i proždrijet će sve oko nje!«
15 But I will visit upon you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof: and it shall devour all things round about it.
