Jeremija 37
1 Nakon Konije, sina Jojakimova, zakralji se Sidkija, sin Jošijin. Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, postavi ga za kralja u zemlji judejskoj.
And King Zedekiah the sonne of Iosiah reigned for Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim, whome Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel made King in the land of Iudah.
2 Ali ni on ni sluge njegove ni narod zemlje ne slušahu riječi što ih je Jahve govorio na usta proroka Jeremije.
But neither he, nor his seruants, nor the people of the land would obey the wordes of the Lord, which he spake by the ministerie of the Prophet Ieremiah.
3 Kralj Sidkija posla Jehukala, sina Šelemjina, i svećenika Sefaniju, sina Maasejina, k proroku Jeremiji s porukom: “Daj, pomoli se za nas Jahvi, Bogu našemu!”
And Zedekiah the King sent Iehucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the sonne of Maaseiah the Priest to the Prophet Ieremiah, saying, Pray now vnto the Lord our God for vs.
4 Jeremija u ono vrijeme još zalažaše među narod i još ga ne bijahu bacili u tamnicu.
(Now Ieremiah went in and out among the people: for they had not put him into the prison.
5 A vojska je faraonova nadirala iz Egipta: čuvši to, Kaldejci, koji opsjedahu Jeruzalem, udaljiše se od grada.
Then Pharaohs hoste was come out of Egypt: and when the Caldeans that besieged Ierusalem, heard tidings of them, they departed from Ierusalem)
6 Tada se javi riječ Jahvina proroku Jeremiji:
Then came the worde of the Lord vnto the Prophet Ieremiah, saying,
7 Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Kralju judejskomu, koji vas posla k meni da me pitate, ovako recite: 'Evo, vojska faraonova, koja vam priteče u pomoć, vratit će se u svoju zemlju Egipat.
Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the King of Iudah, that sent you vnto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaohs hoste, which is come forth to helpe you, shall returne to Egypt into their owne land.
8 Kaldejci će opet napasti ovaj grad, osvojiti ga i spaliti.'
And the Caldeans shall come againe, and fight against this citie, and take it and burne it with fire.
9 Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ne zanosite se mišlju: 'Kaldejci će otići od nas', jer oni neće otići!
Thus sayth the Lord, Deceiue not your selues, saying, The Caldeans shall surely depart from vs: for they shall not depart.
10 Pa i da razbijete svu vojsku kaldejsku koja se bori s vama, tako da bi od nje ostali samo ranjenici, oni bi, svaki iz svoga šatora, opet poustajali da požarom unište ovaj grad.'”
For though ye had smitten the whole hoste of the Caldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should euery man rise vp in his tent, and burne this citie with fire.
11 Kad je vojska kaldejska zbog vojske faraonove morala prekinuti opsadu Jeruzalema,
When the hoste of the Caldeans was broken vp from Ierusalem, because of Pharaohs armie,
12 i Jeremija htjede otići iz Jeruzalema da ode u zemlju Benjaminovu te ondje od rođaka dobije dio.
Then Ieremiah went out of Ierusalem to goe into the land of Beniamin, separating himselfe thence from among the people.
13 Ali kad stiže do Benjaminovih vrata, ondje bijaše zapovjednik straže Jirijaj, sin Hananijina sina Šelemje. On zaustavi proroka Jeremiju povikavši: “Ti hoćeš prebjeći Kaldejcima!” Jeremija odgovori:
And when hee was in the gate of Beniamin, there was a chiefe officer, whose name was Iriiah, the sonne of Shelemiah, the sonne of Hananiah, and he tooke Ieremiah the Prophet, saying, Thou fleest to the Caldeans.
14 “Nije istina, ne želim prebjeći Kaldejcima!” Ali i ne slušajući Jeremiju, Jirijaj ga uhvati i odvede dostojanstvenicima.
Then sayde Ieremiah, That is false, I flee not to the Caldeans: but he would not heare him: so Iriiah tooke Ieremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 Dostojanstvenici se razljutiše na Jeremiju te ga istukoše i zatvoriše u kuću pisara Jonatana, koju bijahu pretvorili u tamnicu.
Wherefore the princes were angry with Ieremiah, and smote him, and layde him in prison in the house of Iehonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
16 Tako Jeremija dospje u nadsvođen podrum. Ondje Jeremija ostade mnogo vremena.
When Ieremiah was entred into the dungeon, and into the prisons, and had remained there a long time,
17 Tada kralj Sidkija posla po njega. I nasamo, u dvoru, kralj ga upita: “Ima li riječi od Jahve?” A na to će Jeremija: “Dakako!” I dometne: “Bit ćeš predan u ruke kralja babilonskoga!”
Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke him out, and the King asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any worde from the Lord? And Ieremiah sayd, Yea: for, sayd he, thou shalt be deliuered into the hand of the King of Babel.
18 Onda Jeremija kaza kralju Sidkiji: “Što skrivih tebi, tvojim slugama i ovom narodu te me baciste u tamnicu?
Moreouer, Ieremiah sayd vnto King Zedekiah, What haue I offended against thee, or against thy seruants, or against this people, that ye haue put me in prison?
19 Gdje su sada vaši proroci koji vam prorekoše: 'Kralj babilonski neće udariti na vas ni na ovu zemlju?'
Where are nowe your prophets, which prophecied vnto you, saying, The King of Babel shall not come against you, nor against this land?
20 A sada, hajde, čuj mene, gospodaru moj i kralju, usliši molbu moju! Nemoj da me opet vrgnu u kuću pisara Jonatana, da ondje ne umrem!”
Therefore heare nowe, I pray thee, O my lorde the King: let my prayer be accepted before thee, that thou cause mee not to returne to the house of Iehonathan the scribe, least I die there.
21 Tada kralj Sidkija naredi i Jeremiju odvedoše u tamničko dvorište te mu davahu svaki dan pogaču kruha iz Pekarske ulice, sve dok nije ponestalo kruha u gradu. I tako Jeremija ostade u tamničkom dvorištu.
Then Zedekiah the King commanded, that they should put Ieremiah in the court of the prison, and that they should giue him dayly a piece of bread out of the bakers streete vntill all the bread in the citie were eaten vp. Thus Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
