< Jeremiah 1 >
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that [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 reign.
Kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja u vrijeme Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina, trinaeste godine carovanja njegova,
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.
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 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
5 Before I formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee 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, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: 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, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatever I command thee thou shalt speak.
A Gospod mi reèe: ne govori: dijete sam; nego idi kuda te god pošljem, i govori što ti god kažem.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Ne boj ih se, jer sam ja s tobom da te izbavljam, govori Gospod.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
I pruživši Gospod ruku svoju dotaèe se usta mojih, i reèe mi Gospod: eto, metnuh rijeèi svoje u tvoja usta.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Vidi, postavljam te danas nad narodima i carstvima da istrebljuješ i obaraš, i da zatireš i raskopavaš, i da gradiš i da sadiš.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, What seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
Poslije mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: šta vidiš, Jeremija? I rekoh: vidim prut bademov.
12 Then said the LORD to me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform 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 the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and its face [is] towards 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 an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Tada mi reèe Gospod: sa sjevera æe navaliti zlo na sve stanovnike ove zemlje.
15 For lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the cities 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 utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own 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 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee 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 behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her 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 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
Oni æe udariti na te, ali te neæe nadvladati, jer sam ja s tobom, veli Gospod, da te izbavljam.
