Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking to all the people, saying,
A Sefatija sin Matanov i Godolija sin Pashorov i Juhal sin Selemijin i Pashor sin Malhijin èuše rijeèi koje govori Jeremija svemu narodu rekavši:
2 “Thus said YHWH: He who is remaining in this city dies, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth to the Chaldeans lives, and his soul has been to him for a prey, and he lives.
Ovako veli Gospod: ko ostane u tom gradu, poginuæe od maèa, od gladi ili od pomora; a ko otide ka Haldejcima, ostaæe živ, i duša æe mu njegova biti mjesto plijena, i biæe živ.
3 Thus said YHWH: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it.”
Ovako veli Gospod: doista æe taj grad biti predan u ruke vojsci cara Vavilonskoga, i uzeæe ga.
4 And the heads say to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its calamity.”
I rekoše knezovi caru: da se pogubi taj èovjek, jer on oslabljava ruke vojnicima koji ostaše u ovom gradu, i ruke svemu narodu govoreæi im take rijeèi, jer taj èovjek ne traži dobra ovom narodu nego zlo.
5 And King Zedekiah says, “Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able [to do] anything against you.”
A car Sedekija reèe: eto, u vašim je rukama; jer car ne može ništa suprot vama.
6 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send Jeremiah down with cords; and there is no water in the pit, but mire, and Jeremiah sinks in the mire.
Tada uzeše Jeremiju i baciše ga u jamu Malhije sina Amelehova, koja bijaše u trijemu od tamnice, i spustiše Jeremiju o užima; a u jami ne bješe vode, nego glib, i Jeremija se uvali u glib.
7 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king’s house, hears that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,
Ali kad èu Avdemeleh Etiopljanin, dvoranin, koji bijaše u dvoru carevu, da su metnuli Jeremiju u onu jamu, a car sjeðaše na vratima Venijaminovijem,
8 and Ebed-Melech goes forth from the king’s house, and speaks to the king, saying,
Izide Avdemeleh iz dvora careva i reèe caru govoreæi:
9 “My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dies in his place because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.”
Care gospodaru moj, zlo uèiniše ti ljudi u svemu što uèiniše Jeremiji proroku bacivši ga u jamu, jer bi i ondje gdje je bio od gladi umro, jer nema više hljeba u gradu.
10 And the king commands Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you thirty men from here, and you have brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”
Zato car zapovjedi Avdemelehu Etiopljaninu govoreæi: uzmi odavde trideset ljudi i izvadi Jeremiju proroka iz jame dok nije umro.
11 And Ebed-Melech takes the men with him, and enters the house of the king, to the place of the treasury, and takes there worn-out shreds of cloth, and worn-out rags, and sends them by cords into the pit to Jeremiah.
Tada uze Avdemeleh ljude, i doðe u dom carev pod riznicu, i uze odande iznošenijeh haljina i starijeh rita, i spusti ih Jeremiji u jamu o užima.
12 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite says to Jeremiah, “Now put the worn-out pieces of cloth and rags under your arms, at the place of the cords,” and Jeremiah does so,
I reèe Avdemeleh Etiopljanin Jeremiji: podmetni te stare haljine i rite pod pazuha ispod uža. I uèini Jeremija tako.
13 and they draw Jeremiah out with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
I izvukoše Jeremiju na užima i izvadiše ga iz jame; i osta Jeremija u trijemu od tamnice.
14 And King Zedekiah sends, and takes Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that [is] in the house of YHWH, and the king says to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, do not hide anything from me.”
Potom car Sedekija posla po Jeremiju proroka, te ga dovedoše preda nj u treæi ulazak koji bijaše u domu Gospodnjem; i reèe car Jeremiji: zapitaæu te nešto, nemoj mi zatajiti.
15 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “When I declare [it] to you, do you not surely put me to death? And when I counsel you, you do not listen to me.”
A Jeremija reèe Sedekiji: da ti kažem, neæeš li me pogubiti? a da te svjetujem, neæeš me poslušati.
16 And King Zedekiah swears to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “YHWH lives, He who made this soul for us, I do not put you to death, nor give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your soul.”
Tada se car Sedekija zakle Jeremiji nasamo govoreæi: tako da je živ Gospod, koji nam je stvorio ovu dušu, neæu te pogubiti niti æu te dati u ruke ljudima koji traže dušu tvoju.
17 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “Thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If you certainly go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then your soul has lived, and this city is not burned with fire, indeed, you have lived, you and your house.
Tada Jeremija reèe Sedekiji: ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: ako otideš ka knezovima cara Vavilonskoga, živa æe ostati duša tvoja, i grad ovaj neæe izgorjeti ognjem, i tako æeš ostati u životu ti i dom tvoj.
18 And if you do not go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then this city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burned it with fire, and you do not escape from their hand.”
Ako li ne otideš ka knezovima cara Vavilonskoga, ovaj æe grad biti predan u ruke Haldejcima, koji æe ga spaliti ognjem, i ti neæeš uteæi iz ruku njihovijeh.
19 And King Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “I am fearing the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted me.”
A car Sedekija reèe Jeremiji: ja se bojim Judejaca koji su prebjegli ka Haldejcima, da me ne predadu u njihove ruke, te æe mi se narugati.
20 And Jeremiah says, “They do not give you up; please listen to the voice of YHWH, to that which I am speaking to you, and it is well for you, and your soul lives.
A Jeremija reèe: neæe te predati; poslušaj glas Gospodnji, koji ti ja govorim, i dobro æe ti biti i živa æe biti tvoja duša.
21 And if you are refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that YHWH has shown me:
Ako li neæeš da izideš, ovo je što mi pokaza Gospod:
22 That, behold, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, and behold, they are saying: Persuaded you, and prevailed against you, Have your allies, Your feet have sunk into mire, They have been turned backward.
Gle, sve žene koje su ostale u domu cara Judina, odvešæe se ka knezovima cara Vavilonskoga, i one æe reæi: nagovoriše te i prevariše te prijatelji tvoji; noge ti se uvališe u glib, a oni se povukoše natrag.
23 And all your wives and your sons are brought forth to the Chaldeans, and you do not escape from their hand, for you are caught by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city is burned with fire.”
Sve žene tvoje i sinovi tvoji odvešæe se Haldejcima, i ti neæeš uteæi iz ruku njihovijeh; nego æeš dopasti u ruke caru Vavilonskom, i ovaj æe grad izgorjeti ognjem.
24 And Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you do not die;
Tada reèe Sedekija Jeremiji: niko da ne dozna za te rijeèi, da ne pogineš.
25 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with you, and they have come to you, and have said to you, Now declare to us what you spoke to the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put you to death, and what the king spoke to you,
Ako li knezovi èuvši da sam govorio s tobom doðu k tebi i reku ti: kaži nam šta si govorio caru, nemoj tajiti od nas, pa te neæemo pogubiti, i šta je car tebi govorio?
26 then you have said to them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.”
Reci im: ja pripadoh k caru moleæi se da me ne pošlje natrag u dom Jonatanov da umrem ondje.
27 And all the heads come to Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declares to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;
I doðoše svi knezovi k Jeremiji i pitaše ga; a on im odgovori sasvijem kako mu zapovjedi car. I okaniše ga se, jer ne doznaše ništa od toga.
28 and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem has been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
A Jeremija osta u trijemu od tamnice do dana kad uzeše Jerusalim; i on bijaše ondje kad uzeše Jerusalim.
