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 which Jeremiah the prophet spake to Baruch, the son of Neriah, after he had written these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying: —

2 Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za tebe, Varuše:

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, to thee, O Baruch!

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

Thou sayest, “Woe now to me, for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow! I am weary with my sighing, and 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 to him: Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, that which I myself have builded do I break down, and that which I myself have planted do I 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 am about to bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give thee, as a prey, in all places whither thou shalt go.
