< Jeremiah 42 >

1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Yochanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
Potom doðoše sve vojvode i Joanan sin Karijin i Jezanija sin Osajin, i sav narod, malo i veliko,
2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,
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,
3 that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.”
Da bi nam pokazao Gospod Bog tvoj put kojim æemo iæi i šta æemo raditi.
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”
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.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to tell us.
A oni rekoše Jeremiji: Gospod neka nam je svjedok istinit i vjeran da æemo èiniti sve što ti Gospod Bog tvoj zapovjedi za nas.
6 Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.”
Bilo dobro ili zlo, poslušaæemo rijeè Gospoda Boga svojega ka kojemu te šaljemo, da bi nam dobro bilo kad poslušamo glas Gospoda Boga svojega.
7 After ten days, the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah.
A poslije deset dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji;
8 Then he called Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Te sazva Joanana sina Karijina i sve vojvode što bijahu s njim, i sav narod, malo i veliko,
9 and said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:
I reèe im: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev, ka kojemu me poslaste da iznesem preda nj molbu vašu:
10 ‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
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.
11 Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
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.
12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
I uèiniæu vam milost da se smiluje na vas, i vrati vas u zemlju vašu.
13 “‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you don’t obey the LORD your God’s voice,
Ako li reèete: neæemo da ostanemo u toj zemlji, ne slušajuæi glasa Gospoda Boga svojega
14 saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the shofar, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’
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,
15 now therefore hear the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,
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,
16 then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.
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.
17 So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’
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.
18 For the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’
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.
19 “The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.
Gospod vam govori, ostanci Judini! ne idite u Misir. Znajte da vam ja svjedoèim danas.
20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’
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.
21 I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.
A kad vam javih danas, neæete da poslušate glasa Gospoda Boga svojega niti išta što mi zapovjedi za vas.
22 Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
Znajte dakle da æete izginuti od maèa i od gladi i od pomora na mjestu kuda ste radi otiæi da se stanite.
