Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Rijeèi Jeremije sina Helkijina izmeðu sveštenika koji bijahu u Anatotu u zemlji Venijaminovoj,
2 To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.
Kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja u vrijeme Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina, trinaeste godine carovanja njegova,
3 And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.
I u vrijeme Joakima sina Josijina, cara Judina, do svršetka jedanaeste godine carovanja Sedekije sina Josijina nad Judom, dok ne bi preseljen Jerusalim, petoga mjeseca.
4 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
5 Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.
Prije nego te sazdah u utrobi, znah te; i prije nego izide iz utrobe, posvetih te; za proroka narodima postavih te.
6 Then said I, O Lord God! see, I have no power of words, for I am a child.
A ja rekoh: oh, Gospode, Gospode! evo, ne znam govoriti, jer sam dijete.
7 But the Lord said to me, Do not say, I am a child: for wherever I send you, you are to go, and whatever I give you orders to say, you are to say.
A Gospod mi reèe: ne govori: dijete sam; nego idi kuda te god pošljem, i govori što ti god kažem.
8 Have no fear because of them: for I am with you, to keep you safe, says the Lord.
Ne boj ih se, jer sam ja s tobom da te izbavljam, govori Gospod.
9 Then the Lord put out his hand, touching my mouth; and the Lord said to me, See, I have put my words in your mouth:
I pruživši Gospod ruku svoju dotaèe se usta mojih, i reèe mi Gospod: eto, metnuh rijeèi svoje u tvoja usta.
10 See, this day I have put you over the nations and over the kingdoms, for uprooting and smashing down, for destruction and overturning, for building up and planting.
Vidi, postavljam te danas nad narodima i carstvima da istrebljuješ i obaraš, i da zatireš i raskopavaš, i da gradiš i da sadiš.
11 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch of an almond-tree.
Poslije mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: šta vidiš, Jeremija? I rekoh: vidim prut bademov.
12 Then the Lord said to me, You have seen well: for I keep watch over my word to give effect to it.
Tada mi reèe Gospod: dobro si vidio, jer æu nastati oko rijeèi svoje da je izvršim.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and its face is from the north.
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja drugom govoreæi: šta vidiš? I rekoh: vidim lonac gdje vri, i prednja mu je strana prema sjeveru.
14 Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north evil will come, bursting out on all the people of the land.
Tada mi reèe Gospod: sa sjevera æe navaliti zlo na sve stanovnike ove zemlje.
15 For see, I will send for all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come, everyone placing his high seat at the way into Jerusalem, and against its walls on every side, and against all the towns of Judah.
Jer, gle, ja æu sazvati sve porodice iz sjevernijeh carstava, veli Gospod, te æe doæi, i svaki æe metnuti svoj prijesto na vratima Jerusalimskim i oko svijeh zidova njegovijeh i oko svijeh gradova Judinijeh.
16 And I will give my decision against them on account of all their evil-doing; because they have given me up, burning perfumes to other gods and worshipping the works of their hands.
I izreæi æu im sud svoj za svu zloæu njihovu što me ostaviše, i kadiše drugim bogovima, i klanjaše se djelu ruku svojih.
17 So make yourself ready, and go and say to them everything I give you orders to say: do not be overcome by fear of them, or I will send fear on you before them.
Ti dakle opaši se i ustani i govori im sve što æu ti zapovjediti; ne boj ih se, da te ne bih satro pred njima.
18 For see, this day have I made you a walled town, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass, against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its captains, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
Jer evo ja te postavljam danas kao tvrd grad i kao stup gvozden i kao zidove mjedene svoj ovoj zemlji, carevima Judinijem i knezovima njegovijem i sveštenicima njegovijem i narodu zemaljskom.
19 They will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you, says the Lord, to give you salvation.
Oni æe udariti na te, ali te neæe nadvladati, jer sam ja s tobom, veli Gospod, da te izbavljam.
