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 message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll 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 says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:

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

'You said, "Woe is me now. For the LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, 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.

"You shall tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the 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.

Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for, look, I will bring disaster on all flesh, says the LORD; but your life will I give to you for a reward in all places where you go."'"
