Jeremiah 39
1 After King Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar came in January with his army, and they surrounded Jerusalem.
Devete godine Sedekije cara Judina mjeseca desetoga doðe Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski sa svom vojskom svojom na Jerusalim i stade ga biti.
2 One and a half years later, after Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years, on July 18, [soldiers from Babylonia] broke through the city [wall. Then they rushed in and captured the city].
Jedanaeste godine Sedekijine mjeseca èetvrtoga, devetoga dana toga mjeseca provališe u grad.
3 Then all the officers of the king of Babylon came in and sat down at the Middle Gate [to decide what they would do to the city. They included] Nergal-Sharezer from Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim who was one of the chief army officers, another Nergal-Sharezer, the king’s advisor, and many other officials.
I uðoše svi knezovi cara Vavilonskoga, i stadoše kod srednjih vrata Nergal-sareser, Samgar-nevon, Sarsehim, starješina nad dvoranima, Nergal-sareser, starješina nad vraèima, i svi drugi knezovi cara Vavilonskoga.
4 When King Zedekiah and all his soldiers realized that [the army of Babylonia had broken into the city], they fled. [They waited until] it was dark. Then they went out of the city through the king’s garden, through the gate that was between the two walls. Then they started [running] toward the Jordan River Valley.
A kad ih vidje Sedekija car Judin i svi vojnici, pobjegoše i izidoše noæu iz grada pokraj vrta carskoga na vrata meðu dva zida; i iðahu preko polja.
5 But the soldiers from Babylonia pursued the king, and they caught him on the plains near Jericho. They took him to the King of Babylon, who was at Riblah [town] in the Hamath [region]. There the king of Babylon told [his soldiers what] they should do to punish Zedekiah.
A vojska Haldejska gonjaše ih, i stiže Sedekiju u polju Jerihonskom, i uhvativši ga dovedoše ga k Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom u Rivlu u zemlji Ematskoj, te mu sudi.
6 They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
I zakla car Vavilonski sinove Sedekijine u Rivli na njegove oèi, i sve znatne ljude od Jude pokla car Vavilonski.
7 [Then] they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They fastened him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
Iza toga Sedekiji iskopa oèi, i sveza ga u dvoje verige mjedene, da ga odvede u Vavilon.
8 [Meanwhile, ] the Babylonian army burned the palace and all the other buildings in Jerusalem. And they tore down the city walls.
A dom carev i domove narodne popališe Haldejci ognjem, i zidove Jerusalimske raskopaše.
9 Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the [king’s] bodyguards, forced to go to Babylon [most of] the other people who remained in the city and the Jews who had joined the soldiers of Babylonia.
A ostatak naroda što osta u gradu i prebjege koji prebjegoše k njemu, ostatak naroda što bješe ostao, odvede Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski u Vavilon.
10 But he allowed some of the very poor people to remain in Judah, and he gave them vineyards and fields [to take care of].
Samo najsiromašnije iz naroda, koji ništa nemahu, ostavi Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski u zemlji Judinoj, i dade im tada vinograde i njive.
11 King Nebuchadnezzar had [previously] told Nebuzaradan to find me. He said,
A Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zapovjedi za Jeremiju Nevuzardanu zapovjedniku stražarskom govoreæi:
12 “Make sure that no one harms him. Take care of him, and do for him whatever he requests you to do.”
Uzmi ga i gledaj ga dobro, i ne èini mu zla, nego mu èini što ti god kaže.
13 So he and Nebushazban, who was one of their chief officers, and Nergal-Sharezer the king’s advisor, and other officers of the King of Babylon
I poslaše Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski i Nevusazvan, starješina nad dvoranima, i Nergal-sareser, starješina nad vraèima, i svi knezovi cara Vavilonskoga,
14 sent [some men] to bring me out of the courtyard outside of the palace. They took me to Gedaliah who was the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan. Then Gedaliah took me to my home, and I stayed [in Judah] among [my own] people [who had been allowed to remain there].
Poslaše, te uzeše Jeremiju iz trijema od tamnice, i predaše ga Godoliji sinu Ahikama sina Safanova da ga odvede kuæi; tako osta meðu narodom.
15 While I was [still] being guarded in the palace courtyard, Yahweh gave me this message:
A Jeremiji doðe rijeè Gospodnja kad bješe zatvoren u trijemu od tamnice govoreæi:
16 “Say this to Ebed-Melech, the official from Ethiopia: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “I will do to this city everything that I said that I would do. I will not enable the people to prosper; I will cause them to experience disasters. You will see Jerusalem being destroyed,
Idi i reci Avdemelehu Etiopljaninu govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo ja æu uèiniti da se zbudu rijeèi moje tome gradu na zlo a ne na dobro, i navršiæe se pred tobom u onaj dan.
17 but I will rescue you from the people whom you are afraid of.
Ali æu tebe izbaviti u onaj dan, govori Gospod, i neæeš biti predan u ruke ljudima kojih se bojiš.
18 You trusted me, so I will save you. You will not be killed by [your enemies’] swords; you will remain alive. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Jer æu te doista saèuvati, te neæeš pasti od maèa, i biæe ti duša tvoja mjesto plijena zato što si se pouzdao u me, govori Gospod.
