Jeremija 37
1 Potom carova Sedekija sin Josijin mjesto Honije sina Joakimova, kojega postavi carem u zemlji Judinoj Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2 Ali ni on ni sluge njegove ni narod zemaljski ne slušahu rijeèi Gospodnjih koje govoraše preko Jeremije proroka.
But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
3 I posla car Sedekija Jeuhala sina Selemijina, i Sofoniju sina Masijina sveštenika k Jeremiji proroku, te mu rekoše: pomoli se za nas Gospodu Bogu našemu.
Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.”
4 I Jeremija iðaše meðu narod i još ga ne bjehu metnuli u tamnicu.
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
5 I vojska Faraonova izide iz Misira, a Haldejci koji bijahu Jerusalim èuvši glas o njoj otidoše od Jerusalima.
Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Kasdim who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 A rijeè Gospodnja doðe Jeremiji proroku govoreæi:
Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
7 Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ovako recite caru Judinu, koji vas je poslao k meni da me pitate: evo vojska Faraonova koja poðe vama u pomoæ, vratiæe se u svoju zemlju, u Misir.
“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
8 A Haldejci æe opet doæi i opkoliæe taj grad i uzeæe ga i spaliæe ga ognjem.
The Kasdim will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
9 Ovako veli Gospod: ne varajte se govoreæi: otiæi æe od nas Haldejci; jer neæe otiæi.
“The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Kasdim will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
10 I da pobijete svu vojsku Haldejsku, koja æe se biti s vama, i da ih ostane nekoliko ranjenika, i oni æe ustati iz svojih šatora i spaliti taj grad ognjem.
For though you had struck the whole army of the Kasdim who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
11 A kad otide vojska Haldejska od Jerusalima radi vojske Faraonove,
When the army of the Kasdim had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Izide Jeremija iz Jerusalima da bi otišao u zemlju Venijaminovu i uklonio se odande meðu narod.
then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
13 Ali kad bijaše na vratima Venijaminovijem, ondje bijaše starješina stražarski po imenu Jereja sin Selemije sina Ananijina, te uhvati Jeremiju proroka govoreæi: ti bježiš ka Haldejcima.
When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Kasdim!”
14 A Jeremija reèe: nije istina, ne bježim ka Haldejcima. Ali ga ne htje slušati, nego uhvati Jereja Jeremiju i odvede ka knezovima.
Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Kasdim.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 A knezovi se razgnjeviše na Jeremiju, i izbiše ga, i metnuše ga u tamnicu u kuæi Jonatana pisara, jer od nje bijahu naèinili tamnicu.
The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16 A kad Jeremija uljeze u jamu, u tamnicu, osta ondje dugo vremena.
When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
17 Potom posla car Sedekija, te ga izvadi, i upita ga u svojoj kuæi nasamo, i reèe mu govoreæi: ima li rijeè od Gospoda? A Jeremija reèe: ima. Još reèe: biæeš predan u ruke caru Vavilonskomu.
then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 Potom reèe Jeremija caru Sedekiji: šta sam ti skrivio ili slugama tvojim ili tomu narodu, te me metnuste u tamnicu?
Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
19 I gdje su vaši proroci koji vam prorokuju govoreæi: neæe doæi car Vavilonski na vas ni na ovu zemlju?
Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
20 Sada dakle poslušaj, care gospodaru moj, pusti preda se molbu moju, nemoj me vraæati u kuæu Jonatana pisara, da ne umrem ondje.
Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
21 Tada zapovjedi car Sedekija da zatvore Jeremiju u trijem od tamnice i da mu daju svaki dan po hljeb s ulice hljebarske, dokle traje hljeba u gradu. Tako sjeðaše Jeremija u trijemu od tamnice.
Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
