Jeremija 45

1 Rijeè koju reèe Jeremija prorok Varuhu sinu Nirijinu, kad pisaše ove rijeèi u knjigu iz usta Jeremijinijeh, èetvrte godine Joakima sina Josijina, govoreæi:

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

2 Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za tebe, Varuše:

Thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;

3 Rekao si: teško meni! jer Gospod dodade mi žalost na tugu; iznemogoh uzdišuæi, i mira ne nalazim.

Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for Yhwh hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

4 Reci mu ovo: ovako veli Gospod: evo, što sam sagradio ja razgraðujem, i što sam posadio iskorenjavam po svoj toj zemlji.

Thus shalt thou say unto him, Yhwh saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

5 A ti li æeš tražiti sebi velike stvari? Ne traži; jer evo, ja æu pustiti zlo na svako tijelo, govori Gospod; ali æu tebi dati dušu tvoju mjesto plijena u svijem mjestima, kuda otideš.

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Yhwh: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
