Jeremija 15
1 I reče mi Jahve: “Kad bi i Mojsije i Samuel stali pred lice moje, ne bi mi se duša obratila narodu tome. Otjeraj ih ispred lice mojega, neka idu od mene!
And Jehovah said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, my soul [would] not [turn] toward this people. Send [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Ako te upitaju: 'Kamo da idemo?' odgovori im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Tko je za smrt, u smrt! Tko je za mač, pod mač! Tko je za glad, u glad! Tko je za izgnanstvo, u izgnanstvo!'
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 Poslat ću na njih četiri nevolje - riječ je Jahvina: mač da ih ubija, pse da ih rastrgaju, ptice nebeske i zvjerad da ih žderu i zatiru.
For I will visit them with four kinds [of punishments], saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and dogs to tear, and the fowl of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 I učinit ću ih užasom svim kraljevstvima zemaljskim, i to zbog Manašea, sina Ezekijina, kralja judejskoga - za sva zla što ih počini u Jeruzalemu.”
And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 “Tko da se smiluje tebi, Jeruzaleme, tko da te požali? Tko li će se svratit' da te zapita kako ti je?
For who shall have pity upon thee, Jerusalem? and who shall bemoan thee? and who shall turn aside to ask after thy welfare?
6 Ti me odbaci - riječ je Jahvina - i leđa mi okrenu. I zato na te digoh ruku zatornicu. Dojadi mi da ti uvijek praštam!
Thou hast cast me off, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward; and I have stretched out my hand against thee, and will destroy thee: I am become weary of repenting.
7 Zato ću ih izvijati vijačom na vratima zemlje ove. Narod svoj ću lišit' djece i istrijebit' ga, jer se ne obraćaju sa svojih putova.
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave of children [and] destroy my people: they have not returned from their ways.
8 Bit će u njih više udovica negoli pijeska morskoga. Na majke mladih ratnika dovest ću zatornika, usred podneva, i pustit ću na njih iznenada užas i strahotu.
Their widows are increased to me more than the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a spoiler at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly.
9 Onesvijestila se roditeljka sedmero djece, dušu ispustila. Sunce joj zađe još za dana: postiđena, osramoćena je. A što od njih ostane, pod mač ću vrći pred njihovim dušmanima” - riječ je Jahvina.
She that hath borne seven languisheth, she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it is yet day; she is put to shame and confounded. And the residue of them will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah.
10 Jao meni, majko, što si me rodila, da svađam se i prepirem sa svom zemljom. Nikom ne uzajmih, ni od koga zajma ne uzeh, a ipak svi me proklinju.
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole land! I have not lent on usury, nor have they lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.
11 Uistinu, o Jahve, nisam li ti služio za njihovo dobro, nisam li tražio milost u tebe za neprijatelja svoga, u doba nevolje, u danima tjeskobe njegove? Ti to dobro znaš!
Jehovah said, Verily I will set thee free for [thy] good; verily I will cause the enemy to meet thee kindly in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Može l' se željezo slomiti, željezo sa Sjevera i mjed?
Will iron break? iron from the north? and bronze?
13 Tvoje bogatstvo i blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za sva bezakonja svoja po svoj zemlji.
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, and in all thy borders;
14 Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ, jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vas sažgati, koji će protiv vas buknuti.
and I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger; it shall burn upon you.
15 Jahve, spomeni me se i pohodi me i kazni progonitelje moje. Ne daj da propadnem zbog sporosti srdžbe tvoje! Spomeni se da tebe radi podnosim sramotu.
Jehovah, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; in thy long-suffering take me not away: know that for thy sake I bear reproach.
16 Kad mi dođoše riječi tvoje, ja sam ih gutao: riječi tvoje ushitiše i obradovaše srce moje. Jer sam se tvojim zvao imenom, o Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy words were unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
17 Nikad sjedio nisam u društvu veseljaka da se razveselim. Pod težinom ruke tvoje samotan živim, jer ti me jarošću prože.
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor exulted: I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18 Zašto je bol moja bez prebola? Zašto je rana moja neiscjeljiva i nikako da zaraste? Ah! Hoćeš li meni biti kao potok nestalan, vodama nepouzdan?
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? It refuseth to be healed. Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a treacherous [spring], [as] waters that fail?
19 Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Ako se vratiš, pustit ću te da mi opet služiš; ako odvojiš dragocjeno od bezvrijedna, bit ćeš usta moja. Oni će se okrenuti k tebi, al' ti se zato ne smiješ okrenuti k njima!
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: If thou return, then will I bring thee again, thou shalt stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth. Let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20 Učinit ću od tebe za ovaj narod zid od mjedi, neosvojiv. Borit će se protiv tebe, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom, da te spasim i izbavim” - riječ je Jahvina.
And I will make thee unto this people a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, to save thee and to deliver thee, saith Jehovah;
21 “Izbavit ću te iz ruku zlikovaca i otkupiti te iz ruku silnika.”
yea, I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
