Jeremija 38
1 A Sefatija sin Matanov i Godolija sin Pashorov i Juhal sin Selemijin i Pashor sin Malhijin èuše rijeèi koje govori Jeremija svemu narodu rekavši:
THEN Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
2 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.
Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
3 Ovako veli Gospod: doista æe taj grad biti predan u ruke vojsci cara Vavilonskoga, i uzeæe ga.
Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which shall take it.
4 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.
Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
5 A car Sedekija reèe: eto, u vašim je rukama; jer car ne može ništa suprot vama.
Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
6 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.
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
7 Ali kad èu Avdemeleh Etiopljanin, dvoranin, koji bijaše u dvoru carevu, da su metnuli Jeremiju u onu jamu, a car sjeðaše na vratima Venijaminovijem,
Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
8 Izide Avdemeleh iz dvora careva i reèe caru govoreæi:
Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spake to the king, saying,
9 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.
My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
10 Zato car zapovjedi Avdemelehu Etiopljaninu govoreæi: uzmi odavde trideset ljudi i izvadi Jeremiju proroka iz jame dok nije umro.
Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
11 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.
So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
12 I reèe Avdemeleh Etiopljanin Jeremiji: podmetni te stare haljine i rite pod pazuha ispod uža. I uèini Jeremija tako.
And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
13 I izvukoše Jeremiju na užima i izvadiše ga iz jame; i osta Jeremija u trijemu od tamnice.
So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
14 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.
Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the Lord: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
15 A Jeremija reèe Sedekiji: da ti kažem, neæeš li me pogubiti? a da te svjetujem, neæeš me poslušati.
Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
16 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.
So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
17 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.
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
18 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.
But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
19 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.
And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
20 A Jeremija reèe: neæe te predati; poslušaj glas Gospodnji, koji ti ja govorim, i dobro æe ti biti i živa æe biti tvoja duša.
But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
21 Ako li neæeš da izideš, ovo je što mi pokaza Gospod:
But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shewed me:
22 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.
And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
23 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.
So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
24 Tada reèe Sedekija Jeremiji: niko da ne dozna za te rijeèi, da ne pogineš.
Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
25 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?
But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
26 Reci im: ja pripadoh k caru moleæi se da me ne pošlje natrag u dom Jonatanov da umrem ondje.
Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.
27 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.
Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
28 A Jeremija osta u trijemu od tamnice do dana kad uzeše Jerusalim; i on bijaše ondje kad uzeše Jerusalim.
So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
