Jeremija 39
1 Devete godine kralja Sidkije, kralja judejskoga, desetoga mjeseca, Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, krenu sa svom vojskom na Jeruzalem te ga opsjede.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Jedanaeste godine kralja Sidkije, četvrtoga mjeseca, dana devetoga u mjesecu, provališe u grad.
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
3 Uđoše sve vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga te se smjestiše kod Srednjih vrata: Nergal Sar-Eser, knez Sin-Magira, vrhovni zapovjednik, Nebušasban, visoki dostojanstvenik, i sve druge vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga.
All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Kad ih vidješe Sidkija, kralj judejski, i svi ratnici njegovi, dadoše se u bijeg na vrata između dva zida, noću iziđoše iz grada prema Kraljevu vrtu i krenuše k dolini Arabi.
When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
5 Ali ih čete kaldejske gonjahu i sustigoše Sidkiju u Poljanama jerihonskim. Uhvatiše ga, odvedoše u Riblu, u zemlju hamatsku, pred Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, koji mu izreče sud.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
6 I kralj babilonski dade u Ribli pred očima kralja Sidkije zaklati djecu njegovu. A dade kralj babilonski pogubiti i sve odličnike judejske.
Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Sidkiji iskopa oči, stavi ga u okove da ga odvede u Babilon.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Kaldejci zapališe kraljev dvor i kuće naroda i porušiše bedeme jeruzalemske.
The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Ostatak pučanstva koje još ostade u gradu, izbjeglice što su mu se predale i sav ostali narod, izagna u Babilon Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.
10 A od siromašnoga puka koji nije ništa posjedovao, Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, ostavi neke u zemlji judejskoj i porazdijeli im vinograde i polja.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 O Jeremiji Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, zapovjedi Nebuzaradanu, zapovjedniku tjelesne straže:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 “Uzmi ga i oko tvoje neka bdi nad njim. Ne čini mu nikakva zla, nego postupaj s njime kako on bude želio.”
“Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”
13 Tada Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, Nebušazdan, visoki dostojanstvenik, Nergal Sar-Eser, vrhovni zapovjednik, i sve vojskovođe kralja babilonskoga
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon
14 poslaše ljude da izvedu Jeremiju iz tamničkoga dvorišta i pustiše ga na slobodu. I tako on osta među narodom.
sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.
15 Dok je Jeremija bio zatvoren u tamničkom dvorištu, dođe mu riječ Jahvina:
Now the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 “Idi i reci Kušitu Ebed-Meleku: Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, učinit ću da se ispune moje riječi protiv ovoga grada, na nesreću, ne na spas njegov. I kad se u onaj dan na tvoje oči obistine,
“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.
17 ja ću te u onaj dan spasiti - riječ je Jahvina - i nećeš biti predan u ruke ljudima pred kojima dršćeš,
But I will deliver you in that day,” says the LORD; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 jer ja ću te pouzdano spasiti te nećeš od mača poginuti, nego ćeš dobiti život kao plijen, jer si se u me pouzdao' - riječ je Jahvina.”
For I will surely save you. You will not fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says the LORD.’”
