Jeremiah 37
1 Now Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made Zedekiah king over the land of Judah.
Potom carova Sedekija sin Josijin mjesto Honije sina Joakimova, kojega postavi carem u zemlji Judinoj Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
2 But Zedekiah, his servants, and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he proclaimed by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Ali ni on ni sluge njegove ni narod zemaljski ne slušahu rijeèi Gospodnjih koje govoraše preko Jeremije proroka.
3 So King Zedekiah, Jehukal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest sent a message to Jeremiah the prophet. They said, “Pray on our behalf to Yahweh our God.”
I posla car Sedekija Jeuhala sina Selemijina, i Sofoniju sina Masijina sveštenika k Jeremiji proroku, te mu rekoše: pomoli se za nas Gospodu Bogu našemu.
4 Now Jeremiah was coming and going among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison.
I Jeremija iðaše meðu narod i još ga ne bjehu metnuli u tamnicu.
5 Pharaoh's army came out from Egypt, and the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the news about them and left Jerusalem.
I vojska Faraonova izide iz Misira, a Haldejci koji bijahu Jerusalim èuvši glas o njoj otidoše od Jerusalima.
6 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
A rijeè Gospodnja doðe Jeremiji proroku govoreæi:
7 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: This is what you will say to the king of Judah, because he has sent you to seek advice from me, 'See, Pharaoh's army, which came to help you, is about to go back to Egypt, its own land.
Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ovako recite caru Judinu, koji vas je poslao k meni da me pitate: evo vojska Faraonova koja poðe vama u pomoæ, vratiæe se u svoju zemlju, u Misir.
8 The Chaldeans will return. They will fight against this city, capture it, and burn it.'
A Haldejci æe opet doæi i opkoliæe taj grad i uzeæe ga i spaliæe ga ognjem.
9 Yahweh says this: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, 'Surely the Chaldeans are leaving us,' for they will not leave.
Ovako veli Gospod: ne varajte se govoreæi: otiæi æe od nas Haldejci; jer neæe otiæi.
10 Even if you had defeated the entire Chaldean army that is fighting you so that only wounded men were left in their tents, they would get up and burn this city.”
I da pobijete svu vojsku Haldejsku, koja æe se biti s vama, i da ih ostane nekoliko ranjenika, i oni æe ustati iz svojih šatora i spaliti taj grad ognjem.
11 So it was when the Chaldean army had left Jerusalem as Pharaoh's army was coming,
A kad otide vojska Haldejska od Jerusalima radi vojske Faraonove,
12 then Jeremiah went out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin. He wanted to take possession of a tract of land there among his people.
Izide Jeremija iz Jerusalima da bi otišao u zemlju Venijaminovu i uklonio se odande meðu narod.
13 As he was in the Benjamin Gate, a chief guard was there. His name was Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah. He grabbed hold of Jeremiah the prophet and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans.”
Ali kad bijaše na vratima Venijaminovijem, ondje bijaše starješina stražarski po imenu Jereja sin Selemije sina Ananijina, te uhvati Jeremiju proroka govoreæi: ti bježiš ka Haldejcima.
14 But Jeremiah said, “That is not true. I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But Irijah did not listen to him. He took Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.
A Jeremija reèe: nije istina, ne bježim ka Haldejcima. Ali ga ne htje slušati, nego uhvati Jereja Jeremiju i odvede ka knezovima.
15 The officials were angry with Jeremiah. They beat him and put him in prison, which had been the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had turned it into a prison.
A knezovi se razgnjeviše na Jeremiju, i izbiše ga, i metnuše ga u tamnicu u kuæi Jonatana pisara, jer od nje bijahu naèinili tamnicu.
16 So Jeremiah was put into an underground cell, where he stayed for many days.
A kad Jeremija uljeze u jamu, u tamnicu, osta ondje dugo vremena.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent someone who brought him to the palace. In his house, the king asked him privately, “Is there any word from Yahweh?” Jeremiah answered, “There is a word: You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Potom posla car Sedekija, te ga izvadi, i upita ga u svojoj kuæi nasamo, i reèe mu govoreæi: ima li rijeè od Gospoda? A Jeremija reèe: ima. Još reèe: biæeš predan u ruke caru Vavilonskomu.
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, your servants, or this people so that you have placed me in prison?
Potom reèe Jeremija caru Sedekiji: šta sam ti skrivio ili slugama tvojim ili tomu narodu, te me metnuste u tamnicu?
19 Where are your prophets, the ones who prophesied for you and said the king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land?
I gdje su vaši proroci koji vam prorokuju govoreæi: neæe doæi car Vavilonski na vas ni na ovu zemlju?
20 But now listen, my master the king! Let my pleas come before you. Do not return me to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
Sada dakle poslušaj, care gospodaru moj, pusti preda se molbu moju, nemoj me vraæati u kuæu Jonatana pisara, da ne umrem ondje.
21 So King Zedekiah gave an order. His servants confined Jeremiah in the courtyard of the guard. A loaf of bread was given him every day from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
Tada zapovjedi car Sedekija da zatvore Jeremiju u trijem od tamnice i da mu daju svaki dan po hljeb s ulice hljebarske, dokle traje hljeba u gradu. Tako sjeðaše Jeremija u trijemu od tamnice.
