Jeremija 39
1 Devete godine Sedekije cara Judina mjeseca desetoga doðe Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski sa svom vojskom svojom na Jerusalim i stade ga biti.
In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 Jedanaeste godine Sedekijine mjeseca èetvrtoga, devetoga dana toga mjeseca provališe u grad.
In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
3 I uðoše svi knezovi cara Vavilonskoga, i stadoše kod srednjih vrata Nergal-sareser, Samgar-nevon, Sarsehim, starješina nad dvoranima, Nergal-sareser, starješina nad vraèima, i svi drugi knezovi cara Vavilonskoga.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
4 A kad ih vidje Sedekija car Judin i svi vojnici, pobjegoše i izidoše noæu iz grada pokraj vrta carskoga na vrata meðu dva zida; i iðahu preko polja.
It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
5 A vojska Haldejska gonjaše ih, i stiže Sedekiju u polju Jerihonskom, i uhvativši ga dovedoše ga k Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom u Rivlu u zemlji Ematskoj, te mu sudi.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
6 I zakla car Vavilonski sinove Sedekijine u Rivli na njegove oèi, i sve znatne ljude od Jude pokla car Vavilonski.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
7 Iza toga Sedekiji iskopa oèi, i sveza ga u dvoje verige mjedene, da ga odvede u Vavilon.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 A dom carev i domove narodne popališe Haldejci ognjem, i zidove Jerusalimske raskopaše.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 A ostatak naroda što osta u gradu i prebjege koji prebjegoše k njemu, ostatak naroda što bješe ostao, odvede Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski u Vavilon.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
10 Samo najsiromašnije iz naroda, koji ništa nemahu, ostavi Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski u zemlji Judinoj, i dade im tada vinograde i njive.
But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
11 A Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zapovjedi za Jeremiju Nevuzardanu zapovjedniku stražarskom govoreæi:
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
12 Uzmi ga i gledaj ga dobro, i ne èini mu zla, nego mu èini što ti god kaže.
“Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 I poslaše Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski i Nevusazvan, starješina nad dvoranima, i Nergal-sareser, starješina nad vraèima, i svi knezovi cara Vavilonskoga,
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
14 Poslaše, te uzeše Jeremiju iz trijema od tamnice, i predaše ga Godoliji sinu Ahikama sina Safanova da ga odvede kuæi; tako osta meðu narodom.
Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
15 A Jeremiji doðe rijeè Gospodnja kad bješe zatvoren u trijemu od tamnice govoreæi:
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
16 Idi i reci Avdemelehu Etiopljaninu govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo ja æu uèiniti da se zbudu rijeèi moje tome gradu na zlo a ne na dobro, i navršiæe se pred tobom u onaj dan.
“Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
17 Ali æu tebe izbaviti u onaj dan, govori Gospod, i neæeš biti predan u ruke ljudima kojih se bojiš.
But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
18 Jer æu te doista saèuvati, te neæeš pasti od maèa, i biæe ti duša tvoja mjesto plijena zato što si se pouzdao u me, govori Gospod.
For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
