1 А Сефатија, син Матанов и Годолија син Пасхоров и Јухал син Селемијин и Пасхор син Малхијин, чуше речи које говори Јеремија свему народу рекавши:
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 Овако вели Господ: Ко остане у том граду, погинуће од мача, од глади или од помора; а ко отиде ка Халдејцима, остаће жив, и душа ће му његова бити место плена, и биће жив.
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 Овако вели Господ: Доиста ће тај град бити предан у руке војсци цара вавилонског, и узеће га.
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 И рекоше кнезови цару: Да се погуби тај човек, јер он ослабљава руке војницима који осташе у овом граду, и руке свему народу говорећи им такве речи, јер тај човек не тражи добра овом народу него зло.
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 А цар Седекија рече: Ето, у вашим је рукама; јер цар не може ништа насупрот вама.
5 Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.”
6 Тада узеше Јеремију, и бацише га у јаму Малхије сина Амелеховог, која беше у трему од тамнице, и спустише Јеремију о ужима; а у јами не беше воде, него глиб, и Јеремија се ували у глиб.
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 Али кад чу Авдемелех Етиопљанин, дворанин, који беше у двору царевом, да су метнули Јеремију у ону јаму, а цар сеђаше на вратима Венијаминовим,
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 изиђе Авдемелех из двора царевог и рече цару говорећи:
8 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
9 Царе господару мој, зло учинише ти људи у свему што учинише Јеремији пророку бацивши га у јаму, јер би и онде где је био од глади умро, јер нема више хлеба у граду.
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 Зато цар заповеди Авдемелеху Етиопљанину говорећи: Узми одавде тридесет људи и извади Јеремију пророка из јаме док није умро.
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 Тада узе Авдемелех људе, и дође у дом царев под ризницу, и узе оданде изношених хаљина и старих рита, и спусти их Јеремији у јаму о ужима.
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 И рече Авдемелех Етиопљанин Јеремији: Подметни те старе хаљине и рите под пазуха испод ужа. И учини Јеремија тако.
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 И извукоше Јеремију на ужима и извадише га из јаме; и оста Јеремија у трему од тамнице.
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 Потом цар Седекија посла по Јеремију пророка, те га доведоше преда њ у трећи улазак који беше у дому Господњем; и рече цар Јеремији: Запитаћу те нешто, немој ми затајити.
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 А Јеремија рече Седекији: Да ти кажем, нећеш ли ме погубити? А да те саветујем, нећеш ме послушати.
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 Тада се цар Седекија закле Јеремији насамо говорећи: Тако да је жив Господ, који нам је створио ову душу, нећу те погубити нити ћу те дати у руке људима који траже душу твоју.
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 Тада Јеремија рече Седекији: Овако вели Господ Бог над војскама, Бог Израиљев: Ако отидеш ка кнезовима цара вавилонског, жива ће остати душа твоја, и град овај неће изгорети огњем, и тако ћеш остати у животу ти и дом твој.
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 Ако ли не отидеш ка кнезовима цара вавилонског, овај ће град бити предан у руке Халдејцима, који ће га спалити огњем, и ти нећеш побећи из руку њихових.
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 А цар Седекија рече Јеремији: Ја се бојим Јудејаца који су пребегли ка Халдејцима, да ме не предају у њихове руке, те ће ми се наругати.
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 А Јеремија рече: Неће те предати; послушај глас Господњи, који ти ја говорим, и добро ће ти бити и жива ће бити твоја душа.
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 Ако ли нећеш да изиђеш, ово је шта ми показа Господ:
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:
22 Гле, све жене које су остале у дому цара Јудиног, одвешће се ка кнезовима цара вавилонског, и оне ће рећи: Наговорише те и преварише те пријатељи твоји; ноге ти се увалише у глиб, а они се повукоше натраг.
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 Све жене твоје и синови твоји одвешће се Халдејцима, и ти нећеш утећи из руку њихових; него ћеш допасти у руке цару вавилонском, и овај ће град изгорети огњем.
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 Тада рече Седекија Јеремији: Нико да не дозна за те речи, да не погинеш.
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die.
25 Ако ли кнезови, чувши да сам говорио с тобом, дођу к теби и кажу ти: Кажи нам шта си говорио цару, немој тајити од нас, па те нећемо погубити, и шта је цар теби говорио?
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 Реци им: Ја припадох к цару молећи се да ме не пошаље натраг у дом Јонатанов да умрем онде.
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 И дођоше сви кнезови к Јеремији и питаше га; а он им одговори сасвим како му заповеди цар. И оканише га се, јер не дознаше ништа од тога.
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 А Јеремија оста у трему од тамнице до дана кад узеше Јерусалим; и он беше онде кад узеше Јерусалим.
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.

What the Fathers said
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.
