¹Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,

¹Nato pristopijo vsi vojaški poveljniki in Johanan, sin Kareahov, in Jezanija, sin Hosajev, in vse ljudstvo od najmanjšega do največjega

²And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)

²in reko Jeremiju proroku: Sprejmi milo prošnjo našo in prosi za nas GOSPODA, svojega Boga, za ves ta ostanek; kajti ostalo nas je malo od mnogih, kakor nas vidiš;

³That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.

³da nam pokaži GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, pot, po katerem naj hodimo, in reč, katero naj storimo.

⁴Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

⁴In reče jim Jeremija prorok: Slišal sem vas; glejte, prosil bom GOSPODA, vašega Boga, po vaših besedah; in katerokoli besedo vam odgovori GOSPOD, vam jo naznanim, ne zadržim vam nobene besede.

⁵Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.

⁵In Oni reko Jeremiju: GOSPOD bodi zoper nas priča resnična in zvesta, če ne bomo ravnali po vsaki besedi, s katero te pošlje k nam GOSPOD, tvoj Bog.

⁶Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.

⁶Bodisi dobro ali slabo, bomo poslušali glas GOSPODA, Boga svojega, ki te k njemu pošiljamo; da bi se nam dobro godilo, ko bomo poslušali glas GOSPODA, Boga svojega.

⁷And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.

⁷Ko pa je minilo deset dni, je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA Jeremiju.

⁸Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

⁸Tedaj pokliče Johanana, sina Kareahovega, in vse vojaške poveljnike, ki so bili ž njim, in vse ljudstvo od najmanjšega do največjega,

⁹And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;

⁹in jim reče: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki ste me k njemu poslali, da padem predenj z vašo prošnjo:

¹⁰If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.

¹⁰Če hočete ostati v tej deželi, vas bom zidal in ne podiral ter vas sadil in ne roval, ker mi je žal hudega, katero sem vam storil.

¹¹Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

¹¹Ne bojte se kralja babilonskega, ki se ga bojite; ne bojte se ga, govori GOSPOD, ker jaz sem z vami, da vas ohranim in vas otmem iz roke njegove.

¹²And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.

¹²In izkažem vam usmiljenje, da se vas usmili in vam dovoli vrniti se na domača tla.

¹³But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,

¹³Ako pa porečete: Ne ostanemo v tej deželi, in ne boste poslušali glasu GOSPODA, Boga svojega,

¹⁴Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:

¹⁴pa boste govorili: Nikar, ampak v deželo Egiptovsko pojdemo, kjer ne bomo videli nobene vojske, ne slišali glasu trobente, ne stradali kruha, in tam bomo prebivali –

¹⁵And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;

¹⁵zdaj torej čujte besedo GOSPODOVO, ostanek Judov! Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Če res obrnete obličje svoje, da bi šli v Egipt, in če pojdete tja prebivat,

¹⁶Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.

¹⁶zgodi se, da vas meč, ki se ga bojite, dojde tam v deželi Egiptovski; in lakota, katere vas je groza, vas bo preganjala tam v Egiptu, in tam umrjete.

¹⁷So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

¹⁷In zgodi se, da vsi možje, ki so obrnili obličje svoje, da bi šli v Egipt in tam prebivali, pomrjejo od meča, lakote in kuge, in nihče ne preostane, tudi ne ubeži tisti nesreči, ki jo jaz pošljem nadnje.

¹⁸For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.

¹⁸Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Kakor se je izlila jeza in togota moja nad prebivalce jeruzalemske, tako se izlije togota moja nad vas, ko pridete v Egipt; in bodete v preklinjanje in strmenje in v kletev in sramoto, in ne boste več videli tega kraja.

¹⁹The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

¹⁹Govoril vam je GOSPOD, o ostanek Judov: Ne hodite v Egipt! Dobro vedite, da sem vam to danes resno izpričal.

²⁰For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

²⁰Varate se namreč duši svoji v škodo. Zakaj poslali ste me h GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, rekoč: Prosi za nas GOSPODA, našega Boga; in vse, karkoli zapove GOSPOD, naš Bog, nam natanko naznani, in storili bomo.

²¹And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.

²¹In danes sem vam naznanil, a ne poslušate glasu GOSPODA, Boga svojega in vsega, za kar me pošilja k vam.Zdaj torej, vedite dobro, da umrjete od meča, lakote in kuge v kraju, kamor se vam hoče iti, da bi prebivali ondi.

²²Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.

²²Zdaj torej, vedite dobro, da umrjete od meča, lakote in kuge v kraju, kamor se vam hoče iti, da bi prebivali ondi.
