Jeremija 1
1 Rijeèi Jeremije sina Helkijina izmeðu sveštenika koji bijahu u Anatotu u zemlji Venijaminovoj,
The words of Jeremiah the son of Chilkiyahu, one of the priests that were in 'Anathoth in the land of Benjamin;
2 Kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja u vrijeme Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina, trinaeste godine carovanja njegova,
To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 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.
And who continued [prophet] in the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the carrying away into exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 Prije nego te sazdah u utrobi, znah te; i prije nego izide iz utrobe, posvetih te; za proroka narodima postavih te.
Before yet I had formed thee in thy mother's body I knew thee; and before thou wast yet come forth out of the womb I sanctified thee: a prophet unto the nations did I ordain thee.
6 A ja rekoh: oh, Gospode, Gospode! evo, ne znam govoriti, jer sam dijete.
And I said, Ah, Lord Eternal! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am [but] a lad.
7 A Gospod mi reèe: ne govori: dijete sam; nego idi kuda te god pošljem, i govori što ti god kažem.
And the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am [but] a lad; but to whomsoever I may send thee shalt thou go, and whatsoever I may command thee shalt thou speak.
8 Ne boj ih se, jer sam ja s tobom da te izbavljam, govori Gospod.
Be not afraid because of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 I pruživši Gospod ruku svoju dotaèe se usta mojih, i reèe mi Gospod: eto, metnuh rijeèi svoje u tvoja usta.
And the Lord stretched forth his hand, and touched [me] therewith on my mouth; and the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 Vidi, postavljam te danas nad narodima i carstvima da istrebljuješ i obaraš, i da zatireš i raskopavaš, i da gradiš i da sadiš.
See, I have appointed thee this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down: to build up, and to plant.
11 Poslije mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: šta vidiš, Jeremija? I rekoh: vidim prut bademov.
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, A staff of all almond-tree do I see.
12 Tada mi reèe Gospod: dobro si vidio, jer æu nastati oko rijeèi svoje da je izvršim.
And the Lord said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watching over my word to perform it.
13 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja drugom govoreæi: šta vidiš? I rekoh: vidim lonac gdje vri, i prednja mu je strana prema sjeveru.
And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A seething pot do I see; and the front thereof is turned from the north.
14 Tada mi reèe Gospod: sa sjevera æe navaliti zlo na sve stanovnike ove zemlje.
And the Lord said unto me, Out of the north shall the evil break forth over all the inhabitants of the land,
15 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.
For, lo, I will call unto 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 upon all its walls round about, and upon [those of] all the cities of Judah.
16 I izreæi æu im sud svoj za svu zloæu njihovu što me ostaviše, i kadiše drugim bogovima, i klanjaše se djelu ruku svojih.
And I will call them to account touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, and have bowed down unto the works of their own hands.
17 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.
But do thou gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I may command thee; be not discouraged because of them, lest I humble thee before them.
18 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.
But I, behold, I have made of thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls over the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
19 Oni æe udariti na te, ali te neæe nadvladati, jer sam ja s tobom, veli Gospod, da te izbavljam.
And [although] they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee; for with thee am I saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
