Jeremiah 40

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon.

Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda kad ga Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski pusti iz Rame uzevši ga pošto bješe okovan u verige meðu svijem robljem Jerusalimskim i Judinijem, koje se voðaše u Vavilon.

2 The captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, "The LORD your God pronounced this evil on this place;

I uzevši zapovjednik stražarski Jeremiju reèe mu: Gospod Bog tvoj izreèe ovo zlo za ovo mjesto;

3 and the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke: because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on you.

I nanese i uèini kako reèe, jer zgriješiste Gospodu i ne slušaste glasa njegova, zato vas snaðe ovo.

4 Now, look, I release you this day from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, do not: look, all the land is before you; where it seems good and right to you to go, there go."

Ali sada, evo, ja te opraštam danas veriga što su ti na ruku; ako ti je volja poæi sa mnom u Vavilon, hodi, ja æu se brinuti za te; ako li ti nije volja poæi sa mnom u Vavilon, a ti nemoj; evo, sva ti je zemlja otvorena, idi kuda god hoæeš i kuda ti je drago.

5 Now while he had not yet gone back, "Go back then," he said, "to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go." So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.

Ili kad se on još ne vraæa, otidi k njemu, Godoliji sinu Ahikama sina Safanova, kojega je postavio car Vavilonski nad gradovima Judinijem, i ostani s njim meðu narodom, ili idi kuda ti je drago. I dade mu zapovjednik stražarski brašnjenice i dar, i otpusti ga.

6 Then went Jeremiah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him among the people who were left in the land.

I tako doðe Jeremija ka Godoliji sinu Ahikamovu u Mispu, i osta s njim u narodu, koji još osta u zemlji.

7 Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon;

A sve vojvode što bjehu u polju i ljudi njihovi kad èuše da je car Vavilonski postavio Godoliju sina Ahikamova nad zemljom, i da je na njemu ostavio ljude i žene i djecu izmeðu siromašnoga naroda u zemlji, koji ne bi odveden u Vavilon,

8 then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

Doðoše u Mispu ka Godoliji Ismailo sin Netanijin i Joanan i Jonatan sinovi Karijini, i Seraja sin Tanumetov, i sinovi Jofije Netofaæanina, i Jezanija sin nekoga Mahaæanina, oni i ljudi njihovi.

9 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, "Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

I zakle se Godolija sin Ahikama sina Safanova njima i ljudima njihovijem govoreæi: ne bojte se službe Haldejcima; ostanite u zemlji, i služite caru Vavilonskom, i dobro æe vam biti.

10 As for me, look, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come to us: but you, gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken."

A ja evo æu stajati u Mispi da doèekujem Haldejce koji æe dolaziti k nama; a vi berite vinograde i voæe i ulje, i ostavljajte u sudove svoje, i stojte u gradovima svojim koje držite.

11 Likewise when all the Jews who were in Moab, and among the people of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;

Tako i svi Judejci, koji bijahu meðu Moavcima i sinovima Amonovijem i Edomcima i po svijem zemljama, èuvši da je car Vavilonski ostavio ostatak u Judeji i postavio nad njima Godoliju sina Ahikama sina Safanova,

12 then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

Vratiše se svi Judejci iz svijeh mjesta kuda bijahu razagnani, i doðoše u zemlju Judinu ka Godoliji u Mispu, i nabraše vina i voæa vrlo mnogo.

13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

A Joanan sin Karijin i sve vojvode što bjehu u polju doðoše ka Godoliji u Mispu,

14 and said to him, "Do you know that Baalis the king of the people of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?" But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.

I rekoše mu: znaš li da je Valis car sinova Amonovijeh poslao Ismaila sina Netanijina da te ubije? Ali im ne povjerova Godolija sin Ahikamov.

15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, "Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?"

Tada Joanan sin Karijin reèe Godoliji nasamo u Mispi govoreæi: idem da ubijem Ismaila sina Netanijina, niko neæe doznati. Zašto da te ubije i da se rasiju svi Judejci koji su se skupili oko tebe i da propadne ostatak Judin?

16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, "You shall not do this thing; for you speak falsely of Ishmael."

Ali Godolija sin Ahikamov reèe Joananu sinu Karijinu: nemoj to èiniti, jer nije istina što kažeš za Ismaila.
