Jeremiah 10
1 Give ear to the word which the Lord says to you, O people of Israel:
Слушајте реч коју вам говори Господ, доме Израиљев.
2 This is what the Lord has said: Do not go in the way of the nations; have no fear of the signs of heaven, for the nations go in fear of them.
Овако вели Господ: Не учите се путу којим иду народи, и од знака небеских не плашите се, јер се од њих плаше народи.
3 For that which is feared by the people is foolish: it is the work of the hands of the workman; for a tree is cut down by him out of the woods with his axe.
Јер су уредбе у народа таштина, јер секу дрво у шуми, дело руку уметничких секиром;
4 They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.
Сребром и златом украшују га, клинима и чекићима утврђују га да се не помиче;
5 It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.
Стоје право као палме, не говоре; треба их носити, јер не могу ићи; не бој их се, јер не могу зла учинити, а не могу ни добра учинити.
6 There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.
Нико није као Ти, Господе; велик си и велико је име Твоје у сили.
7 Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.
Ко се не би Тебе бојао, царе над народима! Јер Теби то припада; јер међу свим мудрацима у народа и у свим царствима њиховим нема таквог какав си Ти.
8 But they are together like beasts and foolish: the teaching of false gods is wood.
Него су сви луди и безумни, дрво је наука о таштини.
9 Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men.
Сребро ковано доноси се из Тарсиса и злато из Уфаза, дело уметничко и руку златарских, одело им је од порфире и скерлета, све је дело уметничко.
10 But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.
А Господ је прави Бог, Бог живи и цар вечни, од Његове срдње тресе се земља, и гнев Његов не могу поднети народи.
11 This is what you are to say to them: The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth will be cut off from the earth and from under the heavens.
Овако им реците: Богови, који нису начинили небо ни земљу, нестаће са земље и испод неба.
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.
Он је начинио земљу силом својом, утврдио васиљену мудрошћу својом, и разумом својим разастро небеса;
13 At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.
Он кад пусти глас свој, буче воде на небесима, подиже пару с крајева земаљских, пушта муње с даждем, и изводи ветар из стаја његових.
14 Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.
Сваки човек поста безуман од знања, сваки се златар осрамоти ликом резаним, јер су лаж ливени ликови његови, и нема духа у њима.
15 They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.
Таштина су, дело преварно; кад их походим, погинуће.
16 The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.
Није такав део Јаковљев, јер је Творац свему, и Израиљ Му је наследство, име Му је Господ над војскама.
17 Get your goods together and go out of the land, O you who are shut up in the walled town.
Покупи из земље трг свој ти, која седиш у граду.
18 For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.
Јер овако вели Господ: Гле, ја ћу избацити као праћом становнике ове земље, и притеснићу их да осете.
19 Sorrow is mine for I am wounded! my wound may not be made well; and I said, Cruel is my disease, I may not be free from it.
Тешко мени од муке моје, рећи ће; љута је рана моја; а ја рекох: То је бол, треба да га подносим.
20 My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.
Мој је шатор опустошен и сва ужа моја покидана, синови моји отидоше од мене и нема их, нема више никога да разапне шатор мој и дигне завесе моје.
21 For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.
Јер пастири посташе безумни и Господа не тражише; зато не бише срећни, и све се стадо њихово распрша.
22 News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.
Гле, иде глас и врева велика из северне земље да обрати градове Јудине у пустош, у стан змајевски.
23 O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.
Знам, Господе, да пут човечји није у његовој власти нити је човеку који ходи у власти да управља корацима својим.
24 O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.
Карај ме, Господе, али с мером, не у гневу свом, да ме не би затро.
25 Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.
Излиј гнев свој на народе који Те не познају, и на племена која не призивају име Твоје, јер прождреше Јакова, прождреше га да га нема, и насеље његово опустеше.
