Jeremiah 45

1 This is what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote out on a scroll these messages that Jeremiah dictated. (This happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah.)

Rijeè koju reèe Jeremija prorok Varuhu sinu Nirijinu, kad pisaše ove rijeèi u knjigu iz usta Jeremijinijeh, èetvrte godine Joakima sina Josijina, govoreæi:

2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za tebe, Varuše:

3 You've been complaining, saying, “I'm in so much trouble because the Lord has given me sorrow to make my pain worse! I've worn myself out with my groans. I can't get any relief.”

Rekao si: teško meni! jer Gospod dodade mi žalost na tugu; iznemogoh uzdišuæi, i mira ne nalazim.

4 This is what Jeremiah was told to say to Baruch: This is what the Lord says: Across the whole country I'm going to tear down what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

Reci mu ovo: ovako veli Gospod: evo, što sam sagradio ja razgraðujem, i što sam posadio iskorenjavam po svoj toj zemlji.

5 So in your case, do you think you'll get special treatment? Stop looking for something like that! I'm going to bring disaster down on every living thing, declares the Lord. However, I promise you that your reward will be that you will continue living, wherever you go.

A ti li æeš tražiti sebi velike stvari? Ne traži; jer evo, ja æu pustiti zlo na svako tijelo, govori Gospod; ali æu tebi dati dušu tvoju mjesto plijena u svijem mjestima, kuda otideš.
