1 Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah heard the words that Jeremiah was saying to all the people,1 Šefatja, sin Matanov, i Gedalija, sin Pašhurov, i Jukal, sin Šelemjin, i Pašhur, sin Malkijin, čuše tada za riječi što ih Jeremija kaza svemu narodu:
2 "Thus says the LORD, He who stays in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live; he shall have his life as a prize of war, and live.2 »Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Tko ostane u ovome gradu, poginut će od mača, gladi i kuge. A tko izađe pred Kaldejce, spasit će život – život će mu ostati kao plijen, ostat će živ.’
3 Thus says the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and be taken."3 Jer ovako govori Jahve: ‘Ovaj će grad odista pasti u ruke vojsci kralja babilonskoga i ona će ga zauzeti!’«
4 Then the princes said to the king, "Let this man be put to death, for he is weakening the hands of the soldiers who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man is not seeking the welfare of this people, but their harm."4 Tada dostojanstvenici rekoše kralju: »Ovoga čovjeka valja ubiti: on zaista obeshrabruje ratnike koji su još ostali u gradu i sav narod kad takve riječi pred njima govori. Pa taj čovjek ne traži dobrobit ovoga naroda, nego njegovu propast.«
5 King Zedekiah said, "Behold, he is in your hands; for the king can do nothing against you."5 A kralj Sidkija odgovori: »Eto, on je u vašim rukama, jer kralj ionako više nema nikakve vlasti nad vama.«
6 So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king's son, which was in the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down by ropes. And there was no water in the cistern, but only mire, and Jeremiah sank in the mire.6 Tada pograbiše Jeremiju i baciše ga u čatrnju kraljevića Malkije, što je bila u tamničkom dvorištu, i oni ga spustiše na užetima. Ali u čatrnji ne bijaše vode, već samo glib, tako da Jeremija propade u glib.
7 When Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern--the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate--7 Ali Kušit Ebed-Melek, dvorjanin koji bijaše u kraljevskom dvoru, doču da su Jeremiju bacili u čatrnju dok je kralj upravo sjedio kod Benjaminovih vrata.
8 Ebed-melech went from the king's house and said to the king,8 Tada Ebed-Melek izađe iz kraljevskog dvora te ovako reče kralju:
9 "My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the prophet by casting him into the cistern; and he will die there of hunger, for there is no bread left in the city."9 »Gospodaru, kralju moj, zlo čine ovi ljudi kad tako postupaju s prorokom Jeremijom: bacili su ga u čatrnju, gdje će od gladi umrijeti, jer nema kruha u gradu.«
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian, "Take three men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies."10 Nato kralj zapovjedi Kušitu Ebed-Meleku: »Povedi trojicu ljudi te izvuci proroka Jeremiju iz čatrnje dok nije umro.«
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe of the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the cistern by ropes.11 I Ebed-Melek povede ljude, uđe u kraljevski dvor, pod riznicu: uze ondje nešto iznošenih i poderanih dronjaka te ih na užetu spusti Jeremiji u čatrnju.
12 Then Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Put the rags and clothes between your armpits and the ropes." Jeremiah did so.12 Kušit Ebed-Melek reče Jeremiji: »Podmetni iznošene i poderane dronjke pod pazuha i pod užad.« Jeremija učini tako.
13 Then they drew Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.13 Tada na užetima izvukoše Jeremiju iz čatrnje. Otada Jeremija ostade u tamničkom dvorištu.
14 King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and received him at the third entrance of the temple of the LORD. The king said to Jeremiah, "I will ask you a question; hide nothing from me."14 Kralj Sidkija posla po proroka Jeremiju te ga pozva da dođe k njemu na treći ulaz što vodi u dom Jahvin. Kralj reče Jeremiji: »Htio bih te nešto upitati, nemoj mi ni riječi zatajiti!«
15 Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I tell you, will you not be sure to put me to death? And if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me."15 Jeremija odgovori Sidkiji: »Ako ti kažem, nećeš li me pogubiti? Ako te pak posvjetujem, nećeš me poslušati!«
16 Then King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah, "As the LORD lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death or deliver you into the hand of these men who seek your life."16 Tada se kralj Sidkija u tajnosti zakle Jeremiji ovim riječima: »Živoga mi Jahve, koji nam daje ovaj život, neću te pogubiti i neću te predati onima što ti rade o glavi.«
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "Thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If you will surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, then your life shall be spared, and this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live.17 Jeremija, dakle, reče Sidkiji: »Ovako govori Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: ‘Ako izađeš pred vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga, spasit ćeš glavu i ovaj grad neće biti uništen požarom; živjet ćete ti i tvoj dom.
18 But if you do not surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hand."18 Ako pak ne izađeš pred vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga, ovaj će grad pasti u ruke Kaldejaca i oni će ga spaliti, a ti se nećeš spasiti iz ruku njihovih.’«
19 King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "I am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest I be handed over to them and they abuse me."19 A kralj Sidkija odgovori Jeremiji: »Bojim se Judejaca koji su prebjegli Kaldejcima: mogli bi mene predati njima da mi se izruguju.«
20 Jeremiah said, "You shall not be given to them. Obey now the voice of the LORD in what I say to you, and it shall be well with you, and your life shall be spared.20 Jeremija odvrati: »Oni to neće učiniti. Poslušaj glas Jahvin prema kojem sam ti govorio, bit će ti dobro i spasit ćeš život svoj.
21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is the vision which the LORD has shown to me:21 Ali ako ne htjedneš iz grada, evo riječi koju mi Jahve objavi:
22 Behold, all the women left in the house of the king of Judah were being led out to the princes of the king of Babylon and were saying, 'Your trusted friends have deceived you and prevailed against you; now that your feet are sunk in the mire, they turn away from you.'22 ‘Gle, sve žene koje su još ostale u dvoru kralja judejskoga bit će odvedene k vojskovođama kralja babilonskoga i govorit će: Zaveli te, svladali te
vjerni prijatelji tvoji!
Kad ti noge u kal propadaju,
oni te napuštaju!’
23 All your wives and your sons shall be led out to the Chaldeans, and you yourself shall not escape from their hand, but shall be seized by the king of Babylon; and this city shall be burned with fire."23 Da, sve će žene tvoje i djecu tvoju odvesti Kaldejcima, a ni ti sam nećeš umaći rukama njihovim: dospjet ćeš u ruke kralju babilonskom, a grad će ovaj biti spaljen.«
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Let no one know of these words and you shall not die.24 Sidkija reče Jeremiji: »Nitko živ ne smije o tome što saznati, inače ćeš umrijeti.
25 If the princes hear that I have spoken with you and come to you and say to you, 'Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you; hide nothing from us and we will not put you to death,'25 Ako, dakle, dostojanstvenici doznaju da sam s tobom razgovarao te dođu k tebi i kažu: ‘Ta očituj nam što kralj kaza tebi, a ti njemu; ne krij ništa pred nama, inače ćemo te ubiti’,
26 then you shall say to them, 'I made a humble plea to the king that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan to die there.'"26 odgovori im: ‘Molio sam kralja da me više ne vrati u kuću Jonatanovu, da ondje ne umrem!’«
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him, and he answered them as the king had instructed him. So they left off speaking with him, for the conversation had not been overheard.27 I doista, dođoše dostojanstvenici k Jeremiji te ga ispitivahu. Ali im on odgovori upravo onako kako mu kralj bijaše naredio. Tada ga se okaniše, jer se ništa nije pročulo o onom razgovoru.
28 And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.28 Jeremiju, dakle, ostaviše u tamničkom dvorištu sve do dana kad neprijatelj zauze Jeruzalem.
Kad Jeruzalem zauzeše, on bijaše ondje.
