Jeremija 42

1 Potom doðoše sve vojvode i Joanan sin Karijin i Jezanija sin Osajin, i sav narod, malo i veliko,

Then came near all the captains of the armies, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Yezanyah the son of Hosha'yah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest,

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 said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our humble supplication be accepted before thee, and pray in our behalf unto the Lord thy God, in behalf of all this remnant; [for we are left but a few of many, as thy own eyes do see us: ]

3 Da bi nam pokazao Gospod Bog tvoj put kojim æemo iæi i šta æemo raditi.

That the Lord thy God may tell us the way whereon we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

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 said Jeremiah the prophet unto them, I have heard you: behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord will answer you, I will tell unto you; I will withhold not a word 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.

But they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us, if we do not act entirely according to all the word with which the Lord thy God may send thee 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 be good, or whether it be evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; in order that it may be well with us, when we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.

7 A poslije deset dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji;

And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.

8 Te sazva Joanana sina Karijina i sve vojvode što bijahu s njim, i sav narod, malo i veliko,

Then called he Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies 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 unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your humble supplication before him:

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 ye will indeed remain in this land, then will I build you up, and I will not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I have bethought me of the evil that I have done unto 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.

Be ye not afraid because of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: have no fear of him, saith the Lord; for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand.

12 I uèiniæu vam milost da se smiluje na vas, i vrati vas u zemlju vašu.

And I will give unto you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and let you return to your own land.

13 Ako li reèete: neæemo da ostanemo u toj zemlji, ne slušajuæi glasa Gospoda Boga svojega

But if ye say, We will not remain in this land, so as not to hearken to the voice of the Lord your 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, No; but into the land of Egypt will we go, that we may not see war, nor hear the sound of the cornet, and that we may not have hunger for bread; and there will we dwell;

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,

And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye will indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go thither to sojourn 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.

Then shall the sword, of which ye are afraid, there overtake you in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are in dread, shall there cleave close unto you in Egypt; and there shall ye 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.

So shall be all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there, —they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and they shall have none that remaineth or escapeth from the evil that I am bringing 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As my anger and my fury were poured forth over the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth over you, when ye enter into Egypt; and ye shall become an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace; and ye shall never see this place again.

19 Gospod vam govori, ostanci Judini! ne idite u Misir. Znajte da vam ja svjedoèim danas.

The Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, “Ye shall not go into Egypt:” ye must know for certain that I have warned 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 ye have dissembled in regard to what your intentions are; for ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray in our behalf unto the Lord our God: and in accordance with all that the Lord our God may say, so tell unto 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 told it to you this day; but ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord your God, and this in all with which he hath sent me unto you.

22 Znajte dakle da æete izginuti od maèa i od gladi i od pomora na mjestu kuda ste radi otiæi da se stanite.

But now know for certain that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.
