1 A Sefatija, sin Matanov i Godolija sin Pashorov i Juhal sin Selemijin i Pashor sin Malhijin, čuše reči koje govori Jeremija svemu narodu rekavši:
1 Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
2 Ovako veli Gospod: Ko ostane u tom gradu, poginuće od mača, od gladi ili od pomora; a ko otide ka Haldejcima, ostaće živ, i duša će mu njegova biti mesto plena, i biće živ.
2 “Yahweh says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’
3 Ovako veli Gospod: Doista će taj grad biti predan u ruke vojsci cara vavilonskog, i uzeće ga.
3 Yahweh says, ‘This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.’”
4 I rekoše knezovi caru: Da se pogubi taj čovek, jer on oslabljava ruke vojnicima koji ostaše u ovom gradu, i ruke svemu narodu govoreći im takve reči, jer taj čovek ne traži dobra ovom narodu nego zlo.
4 Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”
5 A car Sedekija reče: Eto, u vašim je rukama; jer car ne može ništa nasuprot vama.
5 Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.”
6 Tada uzeše Jeremiju, i baciše ga u jamu Malhije sina Amelehovog, koja beše u tremu od tamnice, i spustiše Jeremiju o užima; a u jami ne beše vode, nego glib, i Jeremija se uvali u glib.
6 Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard. They let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
7 Ali kad ču Avdemeleh Etiopljanin, dvoranin, koji beše u dvoru carevom, da su metnuli Jeremiju u onu jamu, a car seđaše na vratima Venijaminovim,
7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),
8 iziđe Avdemeleh iz dvora carevog i reče caru govoreći:
8 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
9 Care gospodaru moj, zlo učiniše ti ljudi u svemu što učiniše Jeremiji proroku bacivši ga u jamu, jer bi i onde gde je bio od gladi umro, jer nema više hleba u gradu.
9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.”
10 Zato car zapovedi Avdemelehu Etiopljaninu govoreći: Uzmi odavde trideset ljudi i izvadi Jeremiju proroka iz jame dok nije umro.
10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.”
11 Tada uze Avdemeleh ljude, i dođe u dom carev pod riznicu, i uze odande iznošenih haljina i starih rita, i spusti ih Jeremiji u jamu o užima.
11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
12 I reče Avdemeleh Etiopljanin Jeremiji: Podmetni te stare haljine i rite pod pazuha ispod uža. I učini Jeremija tako.
12 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.
13 I izvukoše Jeremiju na užima i izvadiše ga iz jame; i osta Jeremija u tremu od tamnice.
13 So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
14 Potom car Sedekija posla po Jeremiju proroka, te ga dovedoše preda nj u treći ulazak koji beše u domu Gospodnjem; i reče car Jeremiji: Zapitaću te nešto, nemoj mi zatajiti.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in Yahweh’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.”
15 A Jeremija reče Sedekiji: Da ti kažem, nećeš li me pogubiti? A da te savetujem, nećeš me poslušati.
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”
16 Tada se car Sedekija zakle Jeremiji nasamo govoreći: Tako da je živ Gospod, koji nam je stvorio ovu dušu, neću te pogubiti niti ću te dati u ruke ljudima koji traže dušu tvoju.
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As Yahweh lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”
17 Tada Jeremija reče Sedekiji: Ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: Ako otideš ka knezovima cara vavilonskog, živa će ostati duša tvoja, i grad ovaj neće izgoreti ognjem, i tako ćeš ostati u životu ti i dom tvoj.
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. You will live, along with your house.
18 Ako li ne otideš ka knezovima cara vavilonskog, ovaj će grad biti predan u ruke Haldejcima, koji će ga spaliti ognjem, i ti nećeš pobeći iz ruku njihovih.
18 But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’”
19 A car Sedekija reče Jeremiji: Ja se bojim Judejaca koji su prebegli ka Haldejcima, da me ne predaju u njihove ruke, te će mi se narugati.
19 Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”
20 A Jeremija reče: Neće te predati; poslušaj glas Gospodnji, koji ti ja govorim, i dobro će ti biti i živa će biti tvoja duša.
20 But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, Yahweh’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
21 Ako li nećeš da iziđeš, ovo je šta mi pokaza Gospod:
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:
22 Gle, sve žene koje su ostale u domu cara Judinog, odvešće se ka knezovima cara vavilonskog, i one će reći: Nagovoriše te i prevariše te prijatelji tvoji; noge ti se uvališe u glib, a oni se povukoše natrag.
22 ‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”
23 Sve žene tvoje i sinovi tvoji odvešće se Haldejcima, i ti nećeš uteći iz ruku njihovih; nego ćeš dopasti u ruke caru vavilonskom, i ovaj će grad izgoreti ognjem.
23 They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burned with fire.’”
24 Tada reče Sedekija Jeremiji: Niko da ne dozna za te reči, da ne pogineš.
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die.
25 Ako li knezovi, čuvši da sam govorio s tobom, dođu k tebi i kažu ti: Kaži nam šta si govorio caru, nemoj tajiti od nas, pa te nećemo pogubiti, i šta je car tebi govorio?
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also tell us what the king said to you;’
26 Reci im: Ja pripadoh k caru moleći se da me ne pošalje natrag u dom Jonatanov da umrem onde.
26 then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”
27 I dođoše svi knezovi k Jeremiji i pitaše ga; a on im odgovori sasvim kako mu zapovedi car. I okaniše ga se, jer ne doznaše ništa od toga.
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
28 A Jeremija osta u tremu od tamnice do dana kad uzeše Jerusalim; i on beše onde kad uzeše Jerusalim.
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
when you slack the hands of the people? It is thou who disbelievest that compellest me to say these things; it is thou that hast drawn me out into these words.
