Jeremiah 42
1 Then Johanan and Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the [other] leaders of the [Israeli] soldiers [who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia], and many [HYP] [other] people, including those who were important and those who were not important, came
Potom doðoše sve vojvode i Joanan sin Karijin i Jezanija sin Osajin, i sav narod, malo i veliko,
2 to me. They said, “Please listen to our request and pray to Yahweh our God for all of us. Although we were previously a huge number of people, you can see that now we are only a small number of people [who have survived].
I rekoše Jeremiji proroku: pusti preda se našu molbu, i pomoli se za nas Gospodu Bogu svojemu, za sav ovaj ostatak, jer nas je ostalo malo od mnogih, kao što nas oèi tvoje vide,
3 [Pray] that Yahweh our God will show us what we should do and where we should go.”
Da bi nam pokazao Gospod Bog tvoj put kojim æemo iæi i šta æemo raditi.
4 I replied, “Okay, I will pray to Yahweh our God, like you have requested, and I will tell you what he says. I will (tell you everything/not hide anything from you).”
A Jeremija prorok reèe im: poslušaæu; evo, pomoliæu se Gospodu Bogu vašemu po vašim rijeèima, i što vam odgovori Gospod kazaæu vam, neæu vam zatajiti ni rijeèi.
5 They replied to me, “We hope/wish that Yahweh our God will be a faithful witness against us if we refuse to do everything that he tells us to do.
A oni rekoše Jeremiji: Gospod neka nam je svjedok istinit i vjeran da æemo èiniti sve što ti Gospod Bog tvoj zapovjedi za nas.
6 We are requesting you to ask Yahweh our God what we should do. [When he replies], we will obey him, whether we like what he says or not. We will do that because [we know that] things will go well for us if we obey him.”
Bilo dobro ili zlo, poslušaæemo rijeè Gospoda Boga svojega ka kojemu te šaljemo, da bi nam dobro bilo kad poslušamo glas Gospoda Boga svojega.
7 [So I prayed] to Yahweh, and ten days later he gave me his reply.
A poslije deset dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji;
8 So I summoned Johanan and all his [other] soldiers and all the [other] people, including those who were important and those who were not important.
Te sazva Joanana sina Karijina i sve vojvode što bijahu s njim, i sav narod, malo i veliko,
9 I said to them, “You told me to tell Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], what you were requesting. This is what he replied:
I reèe im: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev, ka kojemu me poslaste da iznesem preda nj molbu vašu:
10 ‘You [should] stay here in this land. If you do that, I will cause your [nation] to be strong and not be weak. I will cause you to prosper and not be exiled [again]. I am sorry about the disasters that I [was forced to] cause you to experience.
Ako ostanete u ovoj zemlji, sazidaæu vas, i neæu vas razoriti, i nasadiæu vas i neæu vas istrijebiti; jer mi je žao sa zla koje sam vam uèinio.
11 But do not be afraid of the king of Babylon [any more], because I will (be with/help) you. I will rescue you [DOU] from his power [MTY].
Ne bojte se cara Vavilonskoga, kojega se bojite; ne bojte ga se, govori Gospod, jer sam ja s vama da vas saèuvam i da vas izbavim iz njegove ruke.
12 I will be merciful to you by causing him to act kindly toward you. So as a result, he will allow you to stay here in your land.’
I uèiniæu vam milost da se smiluje na vas, i vrati vas u zemlju vašu.
13 But if you refuse to obey Yahweh our God, and if you say ‘We will not stay here;
Ako li reèete: neæemo da ostanemo u toj zemlji, ne slušajuæi glasa Gospoda Boga svojega
14 instead, we will go to Egypt. There we will not experience [any] wars, we will not hear trumpets [signaling our soldiers to prepare for battles], and we will not be hungry,’
Govoreæi: ne, nego idemo u zemlju Misirsku, da ne vidimo rata i glasa trubnoga ne èujemo i ne budemo gladni hljeba, i ondje æemo se naseliti,
15 then listen to what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt, and you go and live there,
Onda èujte rijeè Gospodnju, koji ste ostali od Jude; ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: ako vi okrenete lice svoje da idete u Misir i otidete da se naselite ondje,
16 you will experience those wars and famines that you are afraid of, and you will [all] die there.
Ondje æe vas u zemlji Misirskoj stignuti maè kojega se bojite, i glad, radi koje se brinete, goniæe vas ondje u Misiru i ondje æete pomrijeti.
17 That is what will happen to all you who are determined to go to Egypt and live there. [Some of you] will be killed by the swords [of your enemies, and others of you will die] from famines and from diseases. None of you will escape the disasters that I will bring on you.’
I svi ljudi koji su okrenuli lice svoje da idu u Misir da se ondje nasele, izginuæe od maèa i od gladi i od pomora, i nijedan ih neæe ostati niti æe koji uteæi od zla koje æu pustiti na njih.
18 And the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], also says this: ‘Because I was very angry, I severely punished [MTY] [all] the people of Jerusalem. I will do the same things to you when you go to Egypt. [The result will be that] people will curse you. They will be horrified about [what has happened to] you. They will make fun of you, and you will never see this land again.’
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: kao što se gnjev moj i jarost moja izli na stanovnike Jerusalimske, tako æe se izliti gnjev moj na vas, ako otidete u Misir, i biæete uklin i èudo i kletva i rug, i neæete više vidjeti ovoga mjesta.
19 You little group of people of Judah who are still alive, [listen to me]: Yahweh has told you, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ [So] do not forget what I have warned you today.
Gospod vam govori, ostanci Judini! ne idite u Misir. Znajte da vam ja svjedoèim danas.
20 I know that you were lying when you requested me to pray to Yahweh our God.
Jer varaste duše svoje kad me poslaste ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu rekavši: pomoli se za nas Gospodu Bogu našemu, i kako reèe Gospod Bog naš, javi nam i uèiniæemo.
21 And today I have told you exactly what he said, but [I know that] you will not obey Yahweh our God now, just as you have not obeyed him previously.
A kad vam javih danas, neæete da poslušate glasa Gospoda Boga svojega niti išta što mi zapovjedi za vas.
22 You want to go to Egypt and live there. So now, you can be sure of this: [All of] you will die there. [Some of you will be killed] by the swords [of your enemies and others will die] from famines or from diseases.”
Znajte dakle da æete izginuti od maèa i od gladi i od pomora na mjestu kuda ste radi otiæi da se stanite.
