Jeremija 39
1 Devete godine kralja Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, desetoga mjeseca, Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, krenu sa svom vojskom na Jeruzalem te ga opsjede.
And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 Jedanaeste godine kralja Sidkije, četvrtoga mjeseca, dana devetoga u mjesecu, provališe u grad.
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
3 Uđoše sve vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga te se smjestiše kod Srednjih vrata: Nergal Sar-Eser, knez Sin-Magira, vrhovni zapovjednik, Nebušasban, visoki dostojanstvenik, i sve druge vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga.
and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Kad ih vidješe Sidkija, kralj judejski, i svi ratnici njegovi, dadoše se u bijeg na vrata između dva zida, noću iziđoše iz grada prema Kraljevu vrtu i krenuše k dolini Arabi.
And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
5 Ali ih čete kaldejske gonjahu i sustigoše Sidkiju u Poljanama jerihonskim. Uhvatiše ga, odvedoše u Riblu, u zemlju hamatsku, pred Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, koji mu izreče sud.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
6 I kralj babilonski dade u Ribli pred očima kralja Sidkije zaklati djecu njegovu. A dade kralj babilonski pogubiti i sve odličnike judejske.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
7 Sidkiji iskopa oči, stavi ga u okove da ga odvede u Babilon.
and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Kaldejci zapališe kraljev dvor i kuće naroda i porušiše bedeme jeruzalemske.
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Ostatak pučanstva koje još ostade u gradu, izbjeglice što su mu se predale i sav ostali narod, izagna u Babilon Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
10 A od siromašnoga puka koji nije ništa posjedovao, Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, ostavi neke u zemlji judejskoj i porazdijeli im vinograde i polja.
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 O Jeremiji Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, zapovjedi Nebuzaradanu, zapovjedniku tjelesne straže:
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
12 “Uzmi ga i oko tvoje neka bdi nad njim. Ne čini mu nikakva zla, nego postupaj s njime kako on bude želio.”
Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
13 Tada Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, Nebušazdan, visoki dostojanstvenik, Nergal Sar-Eser, vrhovni zapovjednik, i sve vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
14 poslaše ljude da izvedu Jeremiju iz tamničkoga dvorišta i pustiše ga na slobodu. I tako on osta među narodom.
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
15 Dok je Jeremija bio zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu, dođe mu riječ Jahvina:
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 “Idi i reci Kušitu Ebed-Meleku: Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, učinit ću da se ispune moje riječi protiv ovoga grada, na nesreću, ne na spas njegov. I kad se u onaj dan na tvoje oči obistine,
Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
17 ja ću te u onaj dan spasiti - riječ je Jahvina - i nećeš biti predan u ruke ljudima pred kojima dršćeš,
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
18 jer ja ću te pouzdano spasiti te nećeš od mača poginuti, nego ćeš dobiti život kao plijen, jer si se u me pouzdao' - riječ je Jahvina.”
for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
