< Jeremiah 1 >

1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Beseda Jeremija, Hilkijájevega sina, izmed duhovnikov, ki so bili v Anatótu v Benjaminovi deželi,
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,
kateremu je prišla Gospodova beseda v dneh Jošíja, Amónovega sina, Judovega kralja, v trinajstem letu njegovega kraljevanja.
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.
Ta je prišla tudi v dneh Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, do konca enajstega leta Sedekíja, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, do preselitve jeruzalemskega ujetništva v petem mesecu.
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
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.”
»Preden sem te oblikoval v trebuhu, sem te poznal. Preden si prišel iz maternice, sem te posvetil in te odredil [za] preroka narodom.«
6 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
Potem sem rekel: »Jaz, ah Gospod Bog! Glej, ne morem govoriti, kajti jaz sem otrok.«
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.
Toda Gospod mi je rekel: »Ne govori: ›Jaz sem otrok, ‹ kajti šel boš k vsem, h katerim te bom poslal in karkoli ti zapovem, boš govoril.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
Ne boj se njihovih obrazov, kajti jaz sem s teboj, da te rešujem, « govori Gospod.
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.
Potem je Gospod iztegnil svojo roko in se dotaknil mojih ust. Gospod mi je rekel: »Glej, svoje besede sem položil v tvoja usta.
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.”
Glej, ta dan sem te postavil nad narode in nad kraljestva, da izkoreniniš, da podiraš, da uničiš, da zrušiš, da zgradiš in da 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.”
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč: »Jeremija, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim palico mandljevca.«
12 And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Dobro si videl, kajti pospešil bom svojo besedo, da jo izvršim.«
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.”
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč: »Kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim lonec, v katerem vre in njegova stran je proti severu.«
14 And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Iz severa bo izbruhnilo zlo nad vse prebivalce dežele.
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.
Kajti, glej, poklical bom vse družine kraljestev iz severa, « govori Gospod »in prišli bodo in postavili bodo vsak svoj prestol ob vhodu velikih vrat [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in zoper vse njene zidove naokoli in zoper vsa Judova mesta.
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.
Izrekel bom svoje sodbe zoper njih glede vseh njihovih zlobnosti, ki se dotikajo vseh svojih zlobnosti, ki so me zapustili in zažigali kadilo drugim bogovom ter oboževali dela svojih lastnih rok.
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.
Opaši si torej svoja ledja in vstani ter jim spregovori vse, kar sem ti zapovedal. Ne bodi zaprepaden ob njihovih obrazih, da te ne bi zbegal pred njimi.
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;
Kajti glej, ta dan sem te naredil za obrambno mesto, železen steber in bronaste zidove zoper celotno deželo, zoper Judove kralje, zoper njegove prince in zoper njegove duhovnike in zoper ljudstvo dežele.
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.”
Borili se bodo zoper tebe, toda ne bodo prevladali zoper tebe, kajti jaz sem s teboj, « govori Gospod, »da te osvobodim.«
