Jeremiah 38
1 Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
A Sefatija sin Matanov i Godolija sin Pashorov i Juhal sin Selemijin i Pashor sin Malhijin èuše rijeèi koje govori Jeremija svemu narodu rekavši:
2 “Yahweh says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’
Ovako veli Gospod: ko ostane u tom gradu, poginuæe od maèa, od gladi ili od pomora; a ko otide ka Haldejcima, ostaæe živ, i duša æe mu njegova biti mjesto plijena, i biæe živ.
3 Yahweh says, ‘This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.’”
Ovako veli Gospod: doista æe taj grad biti predan u ruke vojsci cara Vavilonskoga, i uzeæe ga.
4 Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”
I rekoše knezovi caru: da se pogubi taj èovjek, jer on oslabljava ruke vojnicima koji ostaše u ovom gradu, i ruke svemu narodu govoreæi im take rijeèi, jer taj èovjek ne traži dobra ovom narodu nego zlo.
5 Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.”
A car Sedekija reèe: eto, u vašim je rukama; jer car ne može ništa suprot vama.
6 Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard. They let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Tada uzeše Jeremiju i baciše ga u jamu Malhije sina Amelehova, koja bijaše u trijemu od tamnice, i spustiše Jeremiju o užima; a u jami ne bješe vode, nego glib, i Jeremija se uvali u glib.
7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),
Ali kad èu Avdemeleh Etiopljanin, dvoranin, koji bijaše u dvoru carevu, da su metnuli Jeremiju u onu jamu, a car sjeðaše na vratima Venijaminovijem,
8 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Izide Avdemeleh iz dvora careva i reèe caru govoreæi:
9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.”
Care gospodaru moj, zlo uèiniše ti ljudi u svemu što uèiniše Jeremiji proroku bacivši ga u jamu, jer bi i ondje gdje je bio od gladi umro, jer nema više hljeba u gradu.
10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.”
Zato car zapovjedi Avdemelehu Etiopljaninu govoreæi: uzmi odavde trideset ljudi i izvadi Jeremiju proroka iz jame dok nije umro.
11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Tada uze Avdemeleh ljude, i doðe u dom carev pod riznicu, i uze odande iznošenijeh haljina i starijeh rita, i spusti ih Jeremiji u jamu o užima.
12 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.
I reèe Avdemeleh Etiopljanin Jeremiji: podmetni te stare haljine i rite pod pazuha ispod uža. I uèini Jeremija tako.
13 So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
I izvukoše Jeremiju na užima i izvadiše ga iz jame; i osta Jeremija u trijemu od tamnice.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in Yahweh’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.”
Potom car Sedekija posla po Jeremiju proroka, te ga dovedoše preda nj u treæi ulazak koji bijaše u domu Gospodnjem; i reèe car Jeremiji: zapitaæu te nešto, nemoj mi zatajiti.
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”
A Jeremija reèe Sedekiji: da ti kažem, neæeš li me pogubiti? a da te svjetujem, neæeš me poslušati.
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As Yahweh lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”
Tada se car Sedekija zakle Jeremiji nasamo govoreæi: tako da je živ Gospod, koji nam je stvorio ovu dušu, neæu te pogubiti niti æu te dati u ruke ljudima koji traže dušu tvoju.
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. You will live, along with your house.
Tada Jeremija reèe Sedekiji: ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: ako otideš ka knezovima cara Vavilonskoga, živa æe ostati duša tvoja, i grad ovaj neæe izgorjeti ognjem, i tako æeš ostati u životu ti i dom tvoj.
18 But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’”
Ako li ne otideš ka knezovima cara Vavilonskoga, ovaj æe grad biti predan u ruke Haldejcima, koji æe ga spaliti ognjem, i ti neæeš uteæi iz ruku njihovijeh.
19 Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”
A car Sedekija reèe Jeremiji: ja se bojim Judejaca koji su prebjegli ka Haldejcima, da me ne predadu u njihove ruke, te æe mi se narugati.
20 But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, Yahweh’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
A Jeremija reèe: neæe te predati; poslušaj glas Gospodnji, koji ti ja govorim, i dobro æe ti biti i živa æe biti tvoja duša.
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:
Ako li neæeš da izideš, ovo je što mi pokaza Gospod:
22 ‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”
Gle, sve žene koje su ostale u domu cara Judina, odvešæe se ka knezovima cara Vavilonskoga, i one æe reæi: nagovoriše te i prevariše te prijatelji tvoji; noge ti se uvališe u glib, a oni se povukoše natrag.
23 They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burned with fire.’”
Sve žene tvoje i sinovi tvoji odvešæe se Haldejcima, i ti neæeš uteæi iz ruku njihovijeh; nego æeš dopasti u ruke caru Vavilonskom, i ovaj æe grad izgorjeti ognjem.
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die.
Tada reèe Sedekija Jeremiji: niko da ne dozna za te rijeèi, da ne pogineš.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also tell us what the king said to you;’
Ako li knezovi èuvši da sam govorio s tobom doðu k tebi i reku ti: kaži nam šta si govorio caru, nemoj tajiti od nas, pa te neæemo pogubiti, i šta je car tebi govorio?
26 then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”
Reci im: ja pripadoh k caru moleæi se da me ne pošlje natrag u dom Jonatanov da umrem ondje.
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
I doðoše svi knezovi k Jeremiji i pitaše ga; a on im odgovori sasvijem kako mu zapovjedi car. I okaniše ga se, jer ne doznaše ništa od toga.
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
A Jeremija osta u trijemu od tamnice do dana kad uzeše Jerusalim; i on bijaše ondje kad uzeše Jerusalim.
