1 А ово су речи у посланици коју посла пророк Јеремија из Јерусалима к остатку старешина заробљених и свештеницима и пророцима и свему народу што га пресели Навуходоносор из Јерусалима у Вавилон,
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 пошто отиде из Јерусалима цар Јехонија и царица и дворани и кнезови Јудини и јерусалимски, и дрводеље и ковачи.
2 (after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem),
3 По Еласи, сину Сафановом, и Гемарији сину Хелкијином, које сла Седекија цар Јудин у Вавилон к Навуходоносору цару вавилонском; и у књизи говораше:
3 by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon). It said:
4 Овако вели Господ над војскама, Бог Израиљев, свему робљу које преселих из Јерусалима у Вавилон:
4 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Градите куће и седите у њима; садите вртове и једите род њихов;
5 “Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
6 жените се и рађајте синове и кћери; и синове своје жените, и кћери своје удајте, нека рађају синове и кћери, и множите се ту и не умањујте се.
6 Take wives and father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and don’t be diminished.
7 И тражите добро граду, у који вас преселих, и молите се за њ Господу, јер у добру његовом биће вама добро.
7 Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
8 Јер овако вели Господ над војскама Бог Израиљев: Немојте да вас варају ваши пророци што су међу вама и ваши врачи, и не гледајте на сне своје што сањате.
8 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
9 Јер вам они лажно пророкују у моје име, ја их нисам послао, говори Господ.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,” says Yahweh.
10 Јер овако вели Господ: Кад се наврши у Вавилону седамдесет година, походићу вас, и извршићу вам добру реч своју да ћу вас вратити на ово место.
10 For Yahweh says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 Јер ја знам мисли које мислим за вас, говори Господ, мисли добре а не зле, да вам дам последак какав чекате.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
12 Тада ћете ме призивати и ићи ћете и молићете ми се, и услишићу вас.
12 You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 И тражићете ме, и наћи ћете ме, кад ме потражите свим срцем својим.
13 You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
14 И даћу вам се да ме нађете, говори Господ, и вратићу робље ваше, и сабраћу вас из свих народа и из свих места у која сам вас разагнао, говори Господ, и довешћу вас опет на место, одакле сам вас иселио.
14 I will be found by you,” says Yahweh, “and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,” says Yahweh. “I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.”
15 Јер рекосте: Господ нам подиже пророке у Вавилону.
15 Because you have said, “Yahweh has raised us up prophets in Babylon,”
16 Јер, овако вели Господ за цара који седи на престолу Давидовом и за сав народ који стоји у овом граду, за браћу вашу што не отидоше с вама у ропство.
16 Yahweh says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven’t gone with you into captivity,
17 Овако вели Господ над војскама: Ево, ја ћу пустити на њих мач, глад и помор, и учинићу их да буду као смокве рђаве, које се не могу јести, како су рђаве.
17 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that can’t be eaten, they are so bad.
18 И гонићу их мачем и глађу и помором, и учинићу да се потуцају по свим царствима земаљским, да буду уклин и чудо и подсмех и руг у свих народа, у које их пошаљем.
18 I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
19 Јер не послушаше моје речи, говори Господ, кад слах к њима слуге своје пророке зарана једнако; али не послушасте, говори Господ.
19 because they have not listened to my words,” says Yahweh, “with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,” says Yahweh.
20 Слушајте, дакле, реч Господњу ви сви заробљени, које послах из Јерусалима у Вавилон.
20 Hear therefore Yahweh’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 Овако вели Господ над војскама, Бог Израиљев, за Ахава сина Колајиног и за Седекију сина Масијиног, који вам пророкују у моје име лаж: ево, ја ћу их предати у руке Навуходоносору цару вавилонском, да их побије на ваше очи.
21 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes.
22 И од њих ће се узети уклин међу све робље Јудино што је у Вавилону, те ће говорити: Господ да учини од тебе као од Седекије и као од Ахава, које испече цар вавилонски на огњу.
22 A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’
23 Јер учинише грдило у Израиљу чинећи прељубу са женама ближњих својих и говорећи лаж на моје име, што им не заповедих; ја знам то, и сведок сам, говори Господ.
23 because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says Yahweh.
24 И Семаји из Нелама реци говорећи:
24 Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
25 Овако вели Господ над војскама, Бог Израиљев, говорећи: Што си у своје име послао књиге свему народу који је у Јерусалиму, и Софонији сину Масијином свештенику и свим свештеницима, говорећи:
25 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 Господ те постави свештеником на место Јодаја свештеника, да пазите у дому Господњем на сваког човека безумног и који се гради пророк, да их мећеш у тамницу и у кладе.
26 “Yahweh has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in Yahweh’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
27 Зашто, дакле, не укори Јеремије Анатоћанина, који се гради пророк међу вама?
27 Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
28 Јер посла к нама у Вавилон и поручи: Дуго ће трајати; градите куће и седите у њима, и садите вртове и једите род њихов.
28 because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
29 И Софонија свештеник прочита ту књигу пред пророком Јеремијом.
29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 И дође реч Господња Јеремији говорећи:
30 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
31 Пошаљи ка свему робљу и поручи: Овако вели Господ за Семају из Нелама; што вам пророкује Семаја, а ја га не послах, и чини да се уздате у лаж,
31 “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘Yahweh says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,”
32 зато овако вели Господ: Ево, ја ћу походити Семају Неламљанина и семе његово, неће од њега нико остати у овом народу нити ће видети добра што ћу ја учинити народу свом, говори Господ, јер казива одмет од Господа.
32 therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says Yahweh, “because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh.”’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… when predicting the captivity that was to befall the ancient people of God, and giving them the divine command to go obediently to Babylonia, and thus serve their God, counselled them also to pray for Babylonia, saying, "In the peace thereof shall ye have peace," --the temporal peace which the good and the wicked together enjoy.
