Jeremija 40
1 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.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, when he was yet bound in the court of the prison, saying,
2 I uzevši zapovjednik stražarski Jeremiju reèe mu: Gospod Bog tvoj izreèe ovo zlo za ovo mjesto;
Thus says the Lord, who made the earth and formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
3 I nanese i uèini kako reèe, jer zgriješiste Gospodu i ne slušaste glasa njegova, zato vas snaðe ovo.
Cry to me, and I will answer you, and I will declare to you great and mighty things, which you know not.
4 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.
For thus says the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,
5 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.
to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I struck in mine anger and my wrath, and turned away my face from them, for all their wickedness:
6 I tako doðe Jeremija ka Godoliji sinu Ahikamovu u Mispu, i osta s njim u narodu, koji još osta u zemlji.
Behold, I bring upon her healing and cure, and I will show [myself] to them, and will heal her, and make both peace and security.
7 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,
And I will turn the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, even as before.
8 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.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and will not remember their sins, whereby they have sinned against me, and revolted from me.
9 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.
And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do: and they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.
10 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.
Thus says the Lord; There shall yet be heard in this place, of which you say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, [the places] that have been made desolate for lack of men and cattle,
11 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,
the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of men saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty: for the Lord is good; for his mercy [endures] fore ever: and they shall bring gifts into the house of the Lord; for I will turn all the captivity of that land as before, said the Lord.
12 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.
Thus says the Lord of hosts; There shall yet be in this place, that is desert for lack of man and beast, in all the cities thereof, resting-places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 A Joanan sin Karijin i sve vojvode što bjehu u polju doðoše ka Godoliji u Mispu,
In the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the [cities] round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall yet pass under the hand of him that numbers [them], says the Lord.
14 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 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 Ali Godolija sin Ahikamov reèe Joananu sinu Karijinu: nemoj to èiniti, jer nije istina što kažeš za Ismaila.
