Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were 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 Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the 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 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive 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 Now the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
5 "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed 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 Then I said, "Ah, Lord Jehovah. Look, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child."
Potem sem rekel: »Jaz, ah Gospod Bog! Glej, ne morem govoriti, kajti jaz sem otrok.«
7 But Jehovah said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a child;' for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall 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 because of them; for I am with you to deliver you," says Jehovah.
Ne boj se njihovih obrazov, kajti jaz sem s teboj, da te rešujem, « govori Gospod.
9 Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said to me, "Look, 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 Look, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, 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 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč: »Jeremija, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim palico mandljevca.«
12 Then Jehovah said to me, "You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it."
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Dobro si videl, kajti pospešil bom svojo besedo, da jo izvršim.«
13 The word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away 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 Then Jehovah said to me, "Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Iz severa bo izbruhnilo zlo nad vse prebivalce dežele.
15 For, look, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says Jehovah; "and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the 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 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped 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 "You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at them, lest I dismay 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 For, look, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against 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 They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you," says Jehovah, "to deliver you."
Borili se bodo zoper tebe, toda ne bodo prevladali zoper tebe, kajti jaz sem s teboj, « govori Gospod, »da te osvobodim.«
