Jeremija 1
1 Rijeèi Jeremije sina Helkijina izmeðu sveštenika koji bijahu u Anatotu u zemlji Venijaminovoj,
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
2 Kojemu doðe rijeè Gospodnja u vrijeme Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina, trinaeste godine carovanja njegova,
The LORD’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 I u vrijeme Joakima sina Josijina, cara Judina, do svršetka jedanaeste godine carovanja Sedekije sina Josijina nad Judom, dok ne bi preseljen Jerusalim, petoga mjeseca.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
5 Prije nego te sazdah u utrobi, znah te; i prije nego izide iz utrobe, posvetih te; za proroka narodima postavih te.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
6 A ja rekoh: oh, Gospode, Gospode! evo, ne znam govoriti, jer sam dijete.
Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
7 A Gospod mi reèe: ne govori: dijete sam; nego idi kuda te god pošljem, i govori što ti god kažem.
But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
8 Ne boj ih se, jer sam ja s tobom da te izbavljam, govori Gospod.
Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
9 I pruživši Gospod ruku svoju dotaèe se usta mojih, i reèe mi Gospod: eto, metnuh rijeèi svoje u tvoja usta.
Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 Vidi, postavljam te danas nad narodima i carstvima da istrebljuješ i obaraš, i da zatireš i raskopavaš, i da gradiš i da sadiš.
Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
11 Poslije mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi: šta vidiš, Jeremija? I rekoh: vidim prut bademov.
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12 Tada mi reèe Gospod: dobro si vidio, jer æu nastati oko rijeèi svoje da je izvršim.
Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
13 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja drugom govoreæi: šta vidiš? I rekoh: vidim lonac gdje vri, i prednja mu je strana prema sjeveru.
The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
14 Tada mi reèe Gospod: sa sjevera æe navaliti zlo na sve stanovnike ove zemlje.
Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
15 Jer, gle, ja æu sazvati sve porodice iz sjevernijeh carstava, veli Gospod, te æe doæi, i svaki æe metnuti svoj prijesto na vratima Jerusalimskim i oko svijeh zidova njegovijeh i oko svijeh gradova Judinijeh.
For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 I izreæi æu im sud svoj za svu zloæu njihovu što me ostaviše, i kadiše drugim bogovima, i klanjaše se djelu ruku svojih.
I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
17 Ti dakle opaši se i ustani i govori im sve što æu ti zapovjediti; ne boj ih se, da te ne bih satro pred njima.
“You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
18 Jer evo ja te postavljam danas kao tvrd grad i kao stup gvozden i kao zidove mjedene svoj ovoj zemlji, carevima Judinijem i knezovima njegovijem i sveštenicima njegovijem i narodu zemaljskom.
For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
19 Oni æe udariti na te, ali te neæe nadvladati, jer sam ja s tobom, veli Gospod, da te izbavljam.
They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”
