Jeremija 1
1 Beseda Jeremija, Hilkijájevega sina, izmed duhovnikov, ki so bili v Anatótu v Benjaminovi deželi,
The words of Jeremias the son of Helcias, of the priests that were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin.
2 kateremu je prišla Gospodova beseda v dneh Jošíja, Amónovega sina, Judovega kralja, v trinajstem letu njegovega kraljevanja.
The word of the Lord which came to him in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 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.
And which came to him in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, unto the end of the eleventh year of Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda, even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
4 Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 »Preden sem te oblikoval v trebuhu, sem te poznal. Preden si prišel iz maternice, sem te posvetil in te odredil [za] preroka narodom.«
Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 Potem sem rekel: »Jaz, ah Gospod Bog! Glej, ne morem govoriti, kajti jaz sem otrok.«
And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
7 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.
And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
8 Ne boj se njihovih obrazov, kajti jaz sem s teboj, da te rešujem, « govori Gospod.
Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 Potem je Gospod iztegnil svojo roko in se dotaknil mojih ust. Gospod mi je rekel: »Glej, svoje besede sem položil v tvoja usta.
And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me: Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:
10 Glej, ta dan sem te postavil nad narode in nad kraljestva, da izkoreniniš, da podiraš, da uničiš, da zrušiš, da zgradiš in da sadiš.«
Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up, and pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.
11 Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč: »Jeremija, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim palico mandljevca.«
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
12 Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Dobro si videl, kajti pospešil bom svojo besedo, da jo izvršim.«
And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it.
13 Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla k meni, rekoč: »Kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Vidim lonec, v katerem vre in njegova stran je proti severu.«
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying: What seest thou? I see a boiling caldron, and the face thereof from the face of the north.
14 Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Iz severa bo izbruhnilo zlo nad vse prebivalce dežele.
And the Lord said to me: from the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 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.
For behold I will call together all the families of the kingdoms of the north: saith the Lord: and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all the walls thereof round about, and upon all the cities of Juda,
16 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.
And I will pronounce my judgements against them, touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, and have adored the work of their own hands.
17 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.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence: for I will make thee not to fear their countenance.
18 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.
For behold I have made thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass, over all the land, to the kings of Juda, to the princes thereof, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
19 Borili se bodo zoper tebe, toda ne bodo prevladali zoper tebe, kajti jaz sem s teboj, « govori Gospod, »da te osvobodim.«
And they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
