Jeremiah 1
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Riječi Jeremije, sina Hilkijina, svećenika iz Anatota, u zemlji Benjaminovoj.
2 to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah 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 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion 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 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
5 “Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you 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 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
A ja rekoh: “Ah, Gospode Jahve, gle, ja ne umijem govoriti: dijete sam.”
7 And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—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 their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
Ne boj ih se: jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim,” riječ je Jahvina.
9 And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says 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 charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, 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 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina: “Što vidiš, Jeremija?” A ja ću: “Vidim granu bademovu.”
12 And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Tada mi Jahve reče: “Dobro vidiš, jer ja bdim nad riječima svojim da ih ispunim!”
13 And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina: “Što vidiš?” A ja ću: “Vidim uzavrio lonac, a otvor mu gleda na sjever.”
14 And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
I Jahve mi reče: “Sa sjevera buknut će zlo protiv svih stanovnika ove zemlje.
15 For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all 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 have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to 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 And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten 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 And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to 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 have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
I borit će se s tobom, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom da te izbavim,” riječ je Jahvina.
