Jeremias 1
1 The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who dwelt in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Beseda Jeremija, Hilkijájevega sina, izmed duhovnikov, ki so bili v Anatótu v Benjaminovi deželi,
2 [accordingly] as the word of God came to him in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
kateremu je prišla Gospodova beseda v dneh Jošíja, Amónovega sina, Judovega kralja, v trinajstem letu njegovega kraljevanja.
3 And it was in the days of Joakim, son of Josias king of Juda, until the eleventh year of Sedekias king of Juda, [even] until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
Ta je prišla tudi v dneh Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, do konca enajstega leta Sedekíja, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, do preselitve jeruzalemskega ujetništva v petem mesecu.
4 And the word of the Lord came to him, [saying],
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
5 Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth from the womb, I sanctified thee; I appointed thee a prophet to the nations.
»Preden sem te oblikoval v trebuhu, sem te poznal. Preden si prišel iz maternice, sem te posvetil in te odredil [za] preroka narodom.«
6 And I said, O Lord, thou that art supreme Lord, behold, I know not [how] to speak, for I am a child.
Potem sem rekel: »Jaz, ah Gospod Bog! Glej, ne morem govoriti, kajti jaz sem otrok.«
7 And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all to whomsoever I shall send thee, and according to all [the words] that I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
Toda Gospod mi je rekel: »Ne govori: ›Jaz sem otrok, ‹ kajti šel boš k vsem, h katerim te bom poslal in karkoli ti zapovem, boš govoril.
8 Be not afraid before them: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Ne boj se njihovih obrazov, kajti jaz sem s teboj, da te rešujem, « govori Gospod.
9 And the Lord stretched forth his hand to me, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words into thy mouth.
Potem je Gospod iztegnil svojo roko in se dotaknil mojih ust. Gospod mi je rekel: »Glej, svoje besede sem položil v tvoja usta.
10 Behold, I have appointed thee this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to rebuild, and to plant.
Glej, ta dan sem te postavil nad narode in nad kraljestva, da izkoreniniš, da podiraš, da uničiš, da zrušiš, da zgradiš in da sadiš.«
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A rod of an almond tree.
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč: »Jeremija, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim palico mandljevca.«
12 And the Lord said to me, Thou hast well seen: for I have watched over my words to perform them.
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Dobro si videl, kajti pospešil bom svojo besedo, da jo izvršim.«
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A caldron on the fire; and the face of it is toward the north.
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč: »Kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim lonec, v katerem vre in njegova stran je proti severu.«
14 And the Lord said to me, From the north shall flame forth evils upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Iz severa bo izbruhnilo zlo nad vse prebivalce dežele.
15 For, behold, I call together all the kingdoms of the earth from the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and shall set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls round about her, and against all the cities of Juda.
Kajti, glej, poklical bom vse družine kraljestev iz severa, « govori Gospod »in prišli bodo in postavili bodo vsak svoj prestol ob vhodu velikih vrat [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in zoper vse njene zidove naokoli in zoper vsa Judova mesta.
16 And I will speak to them in judgment, concerning all their iniquity, [forasmuch] as they have forsaken me, and sacrificed to strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Izrekel bom svoje sodbe zoper njih glede vseh njihovih zlobnosti, ki se dotikajo vseh svojih zlobnosti, ki so me zapustili in zažigali kadilo drugim bogovom ter oboževali dela svojih lastnih rok.
17 And do thou gird up thy loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command thee: be not afraid of their face, neither be thou alarmed before them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Opaši si torej svoja ledja in vstani ter jim spregovori vse, kar sem ti zapovedal. Ne bodi zaprepaden ob njihovih obrazih, da te ne bi zbegal pred njimi.
18 Behold, I have made thee this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong [against] all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.
Kajti glej, ta dan sem te naredil za obrambno mesto, železen steber in bronaste zidove zoper celotno deželo, zoper Judove kralje, zoper njegove prince in zoper njegove duhovnike in zoper ljudstvo dežele.
19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall by no means prevail against thee; because I am with thee, to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Borili se bodo zoper tebe, toda ne bodo prevladali zoper tebe, kajti jaz sem s teboj, « govori Gospod, »da te osvobodim.«
