Tužaljke 2
1 Kako mrakom zastrije Gospod u svom gnjevu Kćer sionsku. S neba na zemlju baci slavu Izraelovu! I ne sjeti se podnožja svoga u dan gnjeva svojega!
How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down the beauty of Israel from heaven to the earth, and has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Bez milosti Gospod satrije sve stanove Jakovljeve, u svom gnjevu razori tvrđave kćeri Judine; sa zemljom je sravnio i prokleo kraljevstvo i njegove knezove.
The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. In his wrath he has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and the rulers thereof.
3 U rasplamtjelom gnjevu svojem razbi svu snagu Izraelovu, povuče svoju desnicu pred neprijateljem; u Jakovu raspiri plamen ognjeni koji sve uokolo proždire.
In fierce anger he has cut off all the horn of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. And he has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire which devours round about.
4 Nategao je luk k'o neprijatelj, kao dušman ispružio desnicu, ubijajući sve što mu drago bijaše. Na šator Kćeri sionske sasu k'o oganj gnjev svoj jarosni.
He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary, and has slain all who were pleasant to the eye. He has poured out his wrath like fire in the tent of the daughter of Zion.
5 K'o neprijatelj Gospod bijaše: razorio je Izraela, razorio sve dvore njegove, porušio njegove utvrde, umnožio kćeri Judinoj uzdisaje i jecaje.
The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. And he has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
6 Kao vrtu razvali mu sjenicu, razori mjesto sastanka. Baci Jahve u zaborav svetkovine i subote na Sionu; u gnjevu svojem prezre kralja i svećenika.
And he has taken away his tabernacle violently, as a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Jehovah has caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. And in the indignation of his anger has despised the king and the priest.
7 Svoj oltar je Gospod odbacio, zgadilo mu se Svetište njegovo. U ruke neprijatelja je predao bedeme svoje i dvorove. Bučili su u Domu Jahvinu, kao u dan blagdanji.
The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 Jahve naumi razvaliti zidove Kćeri sionske. Nape uže mjerničko, ne ustegnu ruku od rušenja. Predziđe, zidine zavi u tugu: oronuše zajedno.
Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. And he has made the rampart and wall to lament, they languish together.
9 Vrata njina utonuše u zemlju, on im je razbio zasune; kralj i knezovi su među pucima, Zakona nema! Ni u prorokÄa više se ne nalaze viđenja Jahvina.
Her gates are sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her rulers are among the nations where the law is not. Yea, her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.
10 Starješine Kćeri sionske na zemlji sjede i šute, posiplju glavu prašinom, kostrijet pripasuju. K zemlji glave obaraju djevice jeruzalemske.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust upon their heads. They have girded themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Iščilješe mi oči od suza, utroba moja ustreptala, jetra mi se na zemlju prosula zbog sloma kćeri naroda mojega, jer djeca i dojenčad umiru po trgovima Grada.
My eyes fail with tears, my heart is troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young sons and the sucklings faint in the streets of the city.
12 Govore majkama svojim: “Gdje je žito i vino?” dok obamiru kao ranjeni po trgovima Grada, dok ispuštaju dušu svoju na grudima matera svojih.
They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers' bosom.
13 S čime da te prispodobim? Na koga si nalik, Kćeri jeruzalemska? S kime da te usporedim, kako utješim, djevice, Kćeri sionska? Jer kao more tvoja je nesreća neizmjerna. Tko će te iscijeliti?
What shall I testify to thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?
14 Viđenja tvojih proroka bijahu varka i laž, oni nisu objavili krivnju tvoju da te od izgnanstva odvrate. Varali su te utvarama lažnim i zamamnim.
Thy prophets have seen false and foolish visions for thee. And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, but have seen for thee false oracles and causes of banishment.
15 Nad tobom plješću rukama svi koji putem prolaze, zvižde i vrte glavom zbog Kćeri jeruzalemske: “Je li to grad na glasu ljepotom, radost svemu svijetu?”
All who pass by clap their hands at thee. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 Na tebe otvaraju usta svi neprijatelji tvoji, zvižde, škrguću zubima i govore: “Proždrijesmo je! To je dan za kojim čeznusmo, doživjesmo, vidjesmo!”
All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide against thee. They hiss and gnash the teeth. They say, We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found, we have seen it.
17 Jahve izvrši naum svoj, održa svoju riječ koju naredi u davnim danima: nemilice te razorio. Neprijatelj likuje zbog tebe, tvoj protivnik rog svoj podiže.
Jehovah has done that which he purposed. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. And he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee. He has exalted the horn of thine adversaries.
18 U sav glas viči Gospodu, jecaj, Kćeri sionska! Neka k'o potok teku tvoje suze danju i noću. Ne daj počinka sebi, neka se zjenica oka tvoga ne odmori.
Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give thyself no respite. Let not the apple of thine eye cease.
19 Ustani, viči noću za svake promjene straže. K'o vodu izlij srce pred licem Gospodnjim, k njemu podiži ruke i traži milost za svoju nejačad koja od glada obamire po uglovima ulica.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young sons, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 Pogledaj, Jahve, i vidi kome si to učinio. Zar žene da jedu porod svoj, djecu što njišu u naručju? Zar moradoše biti poklani u Svetištu Gospodnjem svećenici i proroci?
See, O Jehovah, and behold to whom thou have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the sons who are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 U uličnoj prašini leže djeca i starci; moje djevice i moji mladići od mača padoše. Ti ih pomori u dan gnjeva svojega, ti ih pokla nemilice.
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. Thou have slain them in the day of thine anger. Thou have slaughtered, and not pitied.
22 Ti si, kao na dan svečani, sa svih strana sazvao užase moje. U dan gnjeva Jahvina nitko nije preživio, nitko se nije spasio. One koje sam odnjihala i odgojila neprijatelj moj sve je istrijebio.
Thou have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. And there was none who escaped or remained in the day of Jehovah's anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have dandled and brought up.
