Jeremiah 40

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yhwh, after that Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.

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.

2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Yhwh thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.

I uzevši zapovjednik stražarski Jeremiju reèe mu: Gospod Bog tvoj izreèe ovo zlo za ovo mjesto;

3 Now Yhwh hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against Yhwh, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.

I nanese i uèini kako reèe, jer zgriješiste Gospodu i ne slušaste glasa njegova, zato vas snaðe ovo.

4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.

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.

5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.

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.

6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.

I tako doðe Jeremija ka Godoliji sinu Ahikamovu u Mispu, i osta s njim u narodu, koji još osta u zemlji.

7 Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;

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,

8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

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.

9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

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.

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.

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.

11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;

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,

12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

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.

13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

A Joanan sin Karijin i sve vojvode što bjehu u polju doðoše ka Godoliji u Mispu,

14 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.

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 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?

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 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.

Ali Godolija sin Ahikamov reèe Joananu sinu Karijinu: nemoj to èiniti, jer nije istina što kažeš za Ismaila.
