Jeremiah 45

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

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

2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, to thee, O Baruch;

Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za tebe, Varuše:

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

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

4 Thus shalt thou say to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, [that] which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

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

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

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.
