Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,
Riječi Jeremije, sina Hilkijina, svećenika iz Anatota, u zemlji Benjaminovoj.
2 to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Njemu dođe riječ Jahvina, u dane Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja Judina, trinaeste godine vladanja njegova:
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away captive of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
zatim u dane Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja Judina, do svršetka jedanaeste godine Sidkije, sina Jošijina, kralja Judeje sve do Jeruzalema, u petom mjesecu izgnanstva.
4 Now the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee. I have appointed thee a prophet to the nations.
“Prije nego što te oblikovah u majčinoj utrobi, ja te znadoh; prije nego što iz krila majčina izađe, ja te posvetih, za proroka svim narodima postavih te.”
6 Then I said, Ah, lord Jehovah! Behold, I know not how to speak, for I am a child.
A ja rekoh: “Ah, Gospode Jahve, gle, ja ne umijem govoriti: dijete sam.”
7 But Jehovah said to me, Say not, I am a child. For to whomever I shall send thee thou shall go, and whatever I shall command thee thou shall speak.
A Jahve mi odvrati: “Ne govori: 'Dijete sam!' Već idi k onima kojima te šaljem i reci sve ono što ću ti narediti.
8 Be not afraid because of them, for I am with thee to deliver thee, says Jehovah.
Ne boj ih se: jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim,” riječ je Jahvina.
9 Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
I tada Jahve pruži ruku, dotače se usta mojih i reče: “Evo, u usta tvoja stavljam riječi svoje.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
Gle: postavljam te danas nad narode i kraljevstva, da istrebljuješ i rušiš, da zatireš i ništiš, da gradiš i sadiš.”
11 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do thou see? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina: “Što vidiš, Jeremija?” A ja ću: “Vidim granu bademovu.”
12 Then Jehovah said to me, Thou have well seen. For I watch over my word to perform it.
Tada mi Jahve reče: “Dobro vidiš, jer ja bdim nad riječima svojim da ih ispunim!”
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What do thou see? And I said, I see a boiling caldron, and the face of it is from the north.
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina: “Što vidiš?” A ja ću: “Vidim uzavrio lonac, a otvor mu gleda na sjever.”
14 Then Jehovah said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
I Jahve mi reče: “Sa sjevera buknut će zlo protiv svih stanovnika ove zemlje.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah. And they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls of it round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
Jer evo, ja ću sazvati sva sjeverna kraljevstva” - riječ je Jahvina. “I ona će doći: svako će od njih staviti svoje prijestolje pred ulaz vrata Jeruzalema, protiv svih zidina njegovih, i protiv svih gradova judejskih.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
I sudit ću im za sve opačine njihove; zato što me ostaviše, zato što kadiše drugim bogovima i klanjahu se djelima ruku svojih.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them.
Ti bedra svoja sad opaši, ustaj, pa ćeš im govoriti sve što ću tebi zapovjediti. Ne dršći pred njima, da ne bih morao učiniti da uzdršćeš pred njima.
18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the rulers of it, against the priests of it, and against the people of the land.
Danas te, evo, postavljam kao grad utvrđeni, kao stup željezni, k'o zidinu brončanu protiv sve zemlje: protiv kraljeva i knezova judejskih, svećenika i naroda ove zemlje.
19 And they shall fight against thee. But they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee, says Jehovah, to deliver thee.
I borit će se s tobom, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim,” riječ je Jahvina.
