1 Nakon Konije, sina Jojakimova, zakralji se Sidkija, sin Jošijin. Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, postavi ga za kralja u zemlji judejskoj. | 1 Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda. |
2 Ali ni on ni sluge njegove ni narod zemlje ne slušahu riječi što ih je Jahve govorio na usta proroka Jeremije. | 2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land did obey the words of the Lord, that he spoke in the hand of Jeremias the prophet. |
3 Kralj Sidkija posla Jehukala, sina Šelemjina, i svećenika Sefaniju, sina Maasejina, k proroku Jeremiji s porukom: »Daj, pomoli se za nas Jahvi, Bogu našemu!« | 3 And king Sedecias sent Juchal the son of Selemias, and Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest to Jeremias the prophet, saying: Pray to the Lord our God for us. |
4 Jeremija u ono vrijeme još zalažaše među narod i još ga ne bijahu bacili u tamnicu. | 4 Now Jeremias walked freely in the midst of the people r for they had not as yet cast him into prison. And the army of Pharao was come out of Egypt: and the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem, hearing these tidings, departed from Jerusalem. |
5 A vojska je faraonova nadirala iz Egipta: čuvši to, Kaldejci, koji opsjedahu Jeruzalem, udaljiše se od grada. | 5 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, saying: |
6 Tada se javi riječ Jahvina proroku Jeremiji: | 6 Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into Egypt. |
7 Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: »Kralju judejskomu, koji vas posla k meni da me pitate, ovako recite: ‘Evo, vojska faraonova, koja vam priteče u pomoć, vratit će se u svoju zemlju Egipat. | 7 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. |
8 Kaldejci će opet napasti ovaj grad, osvojiti ga i spaliti.’ | 8 Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not your souls, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart and go away from us: for they shall not go away; |
9 Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Ne zanosite se mišlju: ‘Kaldejci će otići od nas’, jer oni neće otići! | 9 But if you should even beat al: the army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left of them some wounded men: they shall rise up, every man from his tent, and burn this city with Are. |
10 Pa i da razbijete svu vojsku kaldejsku koja se bori s vama, tako da bi od nje ostali samo ranjenici, oni bi, svaki iz svoga šatora, opet poustajali da požarom unište ovaj grad.’« | 10 Now when the army of the Chaldeans was gone away from Jerusalem, because of Pharao's army, |
11 Kad je vojska kaldejska zbog vojske faraonove morala prekinuti opsadu Jeruzalema, | 11 Jeremias went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin: and to divide a possession there in the presence of the citizens. |
12 i Jeremija htjede otići iz Jeruzalema da ode u zemlju Benjaminovu te ondje od rođaka dobije dio. | 12 And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who I was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremias the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans. |
13 Ali kad stiže do Benjaminovih vrata, ondje bijaše zapovjednik straže Jirijaj, sin Hananijina sina Šelemje. On zaustavi proroka Jeremiju povikavši: »Ti hoćeš prebjeći Kaldejcima!« Jeremija odgovori: | 13 And Jeremias answered: It is not so, I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Jerias took Jeremias and brought him to the princes. |
14 »Nije istina, ne želim prebjeći Kaldejcima!« Ali i ne slušajući Jeremiju, Jirijaj ga uhvati i odvede dostojanstvenicima. | 14 Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremias, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the prison. |
15 Dostojanstvenici se razljutiše na Jeremiju te ga istukoše i zatvoriše u kuću pisara Jonatana, koju bijahu pretvorili u tamnicu. | 15 So Jeremias went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremias remained there many days. |
16 Tako Jeremija dospje u nadsvođen podrum. Ondje Jeremija ostade mnogo vremena. | 16 Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremias said: There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. |
17 Tada kralj Sidkija posla po njega. I nasamo, u dvoru, kralj ga upita: »Ima li riječi od Jahve?« A na to će Jeremija: »Dakako!« I dometne: »Bit ćeš predan u ruke kralja babilonskoga!« | 17 And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison? |
18 Onda Jeremija kaza kralju Sidkiji: »Što skrivih tebi, tvojim slugama i ovom narodu te me baciste u tamnicu? | 18 Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land? |
19 Gdje su sada vaši proroci koji vam prorekoše: ‘Kralj babilonski neće udariti na vas ni na ovu zemlju?’ | 19 Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. |
20 A sada, hajde, čuj mene, gospodaru moj i kralju, usliši molbu moju! Nemoj da me opet vrgnu u kuću pisara Jonatana, da ondje ne umrem!« | 20 Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremias should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison. |
21 Tada kralj Sidkija naredi i Jeremiju odvedoše u tamničko dvorište te mu davahu svaki dan pogaču kruha iz Pekarske ulice, sve dok nije ponestalo kruha u gradu. I tako Jeremija ostade u tamničkom dvorištu. | |
