Jeremija 42

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

Then drew near all the captains of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, —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 our supplication we beseech thee fall prostrate before thee, and pray thou in our behalf unto Yahweh thy God, in behalf of all this remnant, —for we are left a few out of many, just as thine own eyes do behold us:

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

that Yahweh thy God may tell us the way wherein 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.

And Jeremiah the prophet, said unto them, I have heard; behold me! praying unto Yahweh your God according to your words, —and it shall come to pass that the whole thing that Yahweh shall answer you, I will tell you, I will keep back from you, nothing.

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.

They, therefore said unto Jeremiah, Yahweh be against us, as a witness true and faithful, —if according to all the word which Yahweh thy God shall send thee unto us, so we do not perform:

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 for good or for ill, unto the voice of Yahweh our God for which we are sending thee unto him, will we hearken, —to the end it may be well with us, because we will hearken unto the voice of Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 for Johanan son of Kareah, and for all the princes of the forces who were with him—and for all the people from the least even unto the greatest;

9 I reèe im: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev, ka kojemu me poslaste da iznesem preda nj molbu vašu:

and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall prostrate 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 abide, in this land, then will I build you up, and not pull [you] down, and plant you and not uproot [you], —for I have compassion as touching the calamity which I have caused 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 fear the face of the king of Babylon, of whose face ye are afraid, —do not fear him, Urgeth Yahweh, for with you, am I, 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.

that I may grant you compassions and he may have compassion upon you, —and suffer you to return unto your own soil.

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

But, since ye are saying, —We will not dwell in this land, —nor hearken unto the voice of Yahweh 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! for, into the land of Egypt, will we go, where we shall not see war, nor the sound of a horn, shall we hear, —nor for bread, shall we be famished, —there, then 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,

Now, therefore, for this cause, hear ye the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah, —Thus! saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —If, ye do indeed set your faces to enter Egypt and do enter 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 it come to pass that the sword which ye are fearing shall, there, overtake you, in the land of Egypt, —and the famine which ye are dreading, shall, there, lay fast hold of 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 it be with all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there, they shall die by sword, by famine or by pestilence, —and they shall have neither survival nor escape, from the face of the calamity which I am about to bring in upon 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Just as mine anger and mine indignation have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall mine indignation be poured out upon you when ye enter into Egypt, —thus shall ye become a curse, and an astonishment and a contempt and a reproach, and ye shall no more see this place.

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

Yahweh hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, Do not enter into Egypt: Know certainly, that I have taken you to witness to-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 deceived yourselves at the cost of your lives, for, ye yourselves, sent me unto Yahweh your God, saying, —Pray thou in our behalf, unto Yahweh our God, —and according to all that Yahweh our God shall say, so, tell 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.

Therefore have I told you to-day, —and yet ye have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh your God, even in any thing for 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.

Now, therefore, know ye certainly, that by sword, by famine, or by pestilence, shall ye die, —in the place whither ye have desired to go, to sojourn.
