Jeremiah 1
1 These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.
Riječi Jeremije, sina Hilkijina, svećenika iz Anatota, u zemlji Benjaminovoj.
2 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah,
Njemu dođe riječ Jahvina, u dane Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja Judina, trinaeste godine vladanja njegova:
3 and through the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, until the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.
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 The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as 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 “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”
A ja rekoh: “Ah, Gospode Jahve, gle, ja ne umijem govoriti: dijete sam.”
7 But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must 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 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,”
Ne boj ih se: jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim,” riječ je Jahvina.
9 Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
I tada Jahve pruži ruku, dotače se usta mojih i reče: “Evo, u usta tvoja stavljam riječi svoje.
10 See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”
Gle: postavljam te danas nad narode i kraljevstva, da istrebljuješ i rušiš, da zatireš i ništiš, da gradiš i sadiš.”
11 And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina: “Što vidiš, Jeremija?” A ja ću: “Vidim granu bademovu.”
12 “You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
Tada mi Jahve reče: “Dobro vidiš, jer ja bdim nad riječima svojim da ih ispunim!”
13 Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina: “Što vidiš?” A ja ću: “Vidim uzavrio lonac, a otvor mu gleda na sjever.”
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land.
I Jahve mi reče: “Sa sjevera buknut će zlo protiv svih stanovnika ove zemlje.
15 For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other 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 I will pronounce My judgments against them for all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship 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 Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you 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 Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and 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 They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
I borit će se s tobom, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim,” riječ je Jahvina.
