Jeremija 42
1 Potom doðoše sve vojvode i Joanan sin Karijin i Jezanija sin Osajin, i sav narod, malo i veliko,
And all the leaders of the warriors, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and the rest of the common people, from the least even to the greatest, drew near.
2 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,
And they said to Jeremiah the prophet: “Let our supplication fall before your sight. And pray for us to the Lord your God, on behalf of this entire remnant. For few out of many have been left behind, just as your eyes behold us.
3 Da bi nam pokazao Gospod Bog tvoj put kojim æemo iæi i šta æemo raditi.
And so, may the Lord your God announce to us the way that we must travel, and the word that we must accomplish.”
4 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.
Then Jeremiah, the prophet, said to them: “I have listened. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words. And whatever word he will respond to me, I will declare to you. And I will conceal nothing from you.”
5 A oni rekoše Jeremiji: Gospod neka nam je svjedok istinit i vjeran da æemo èiniti sve što ti Gospod Bog tvoj zapovjedi za nas.
And they said to Jeremiah: “May the Lord be the witness between us of truth and fidelity, if we do not act according to whatever word the Lord your God will send by you to us.
6 Bilo dobro ili zlo, poslušaæemo rijeè Gospoda Boga svojega ka kojemu te šaljemo, da bi nam dobro bilo kad poslušamo glas Gospoda Boga svojega.
Whether it is for good or for harm, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you. So may it be well with us, when we heed the voice of the Lord our God.”
7 A poslije deset dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji;
Then, when ten days had been completed, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
8 Te sazva Joanana sina Karijina i sve vojvode što bijahu s njim, i sav narod, malo i veliko,
And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of warriors who were with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest.
9 I reèe im: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev, ka kojemu me poslaste da iznesem preda nj molbu vašu:
And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have sent me, so that I may present your petitions in his sight:
10 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.
If you dwell quietly in this land, I will build you up, and I will not tear you down. I will plant you, and I will not uproot you. For now I have been appeased by the harm that I have done to you.
11 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.
Do not be afraid before the face of the king of Babylon, whom you have dreaded with great fear. Do not dread him, says the Lord. For I am with you, so that I may accomplish your salvation, and so that I may rescue you from his hand.
12 I uèiniæu vam milost da se smiluje na vas, i vrati vas u zemlju vašu.
And I will give you mercies, and I will take pity on you, and I will cause you to live in your own land.
13 Ako li reèete: neæemo da ostanemo u toj zemlji, ne slušajuæi glasa Gospoda Boga svojega
But if you say: ‘We will not live in this land, nor will we heed the voice of the Lord our God,’
14 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,
saying: ‘Never! Instead, we will travel to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, and we will not hear the blast of the trumpet, and we will not endure famine. And there we shall live.’
15 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,
Because of this, hear now the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces so as to advance into Egypt, and if you enter so that you may live there,
16 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.
the sword which you dread will overtake you there, in the land of Egypt, and the famine, about which you are anxious, will cling to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.
17 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.
And all the men, who have set their faces so that they may advance to Egypt in order to live there, will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. None of them will remain, nor will they escape from the face of the evil that I will bring over them.
18 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.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Just as my fury and my indignation has been enflamed over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will my indignation be enflamed over you, when you will have entered into Egypt. And so you will be an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace. And you will never see this place again.
19 Gospod vam govori, ostanci Judini! ne idite u Misir. Znajte da vam ja svjedoèim danas.
This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O remnant of Judah: Do not choose to enter into Egypt, for certainly you understand what I have sworn to you this day.
20 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.
For you have deceived your own souls. For you have sent me to the Lord our God, saying: ‘Pray on our behalf to the Lord our God. And in accord with anything whatsoever that the Lord our God will tell you, announce this to us, and we will do it.’
21 A kad vam javih danas, neæete da poslušate glasa Gospoda Boga svojega niti išta što mi zapovjedi za vas.
And I have announced it to you this day, and you have not heeded the voice of the Lord your God, concerning everything about which he has sent me to you.
22 Znajte dakle da æete izginuti od maèa i od gladi i od pomora na mjestu kuda ste radi otiæi da se stanite.
Therefore, know with certainty now, that you will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, in the place which you wish to enter so that you may live there.”
