Jeremiah 12
1 You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?
Pravedan si, Gospode, ako bih se pravdao s tobom; ali æu progovoriti o sudovima tvojim. Zašto je put bezbožnièki sreæan? zašto žive u miru svi koji èine nevjeru?
2 They have been planted by you, they have taken root; they go on and give fruit: you are near in their mouths but far from their thoughts.
Ti ih posadi, i oni se ukorijeniše, rastu i rod raðaju; ti si im blizu usta ali daleko od bubrega.
3 But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.
Ali, Gospode, ti me poznaješ, razgledaš me i okušao si srce moje kako je prema tebi; odvuci ih kao ovce na klanje, i pripravi ih za dan kad æe se ubiti.
4 How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.
Dokle æe tužiti zemlja, i trava svega polja sahnuti sa zloæe onijeh koji žive u njoj? nesta sve stoke i ptica, jer govore: ne vidi kraja našega.
5 If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan?
Kad si trèao s pješcima pa te umoriše, kako æeš se utrkivati s konjma? i kad ti je tako u zemlji mirnoj, u koju se uzdaš, šta æeš èiniti kad ustane Jordan?
6 For even your brothers, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair words to you.
Jer i braæa tvoja i dom oca tvojega, i oni te iznevjeriše, i oni vièu za tobom iza glasa. Ne vjeruj im, ako bi ti i prijateljski govorili.
7 I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.
Ostavih dom svoj, napustih našljedstvo svoje; što bijaše milo duši mojoj, dadoh ga u ruke neprijateljima njegovijem.
8 My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.
Našljedstvo moje posta mi kao lav u šumi, pušta glas svoj na mene, zato mi omrznu.
9 My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.
Našljedstvo moje posta mi ptica grabljiva; ptice, sletite se na nju, skupite se svi zvjerovi poljski, hodite da jedete.
10 The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste;
Pastiri mnogi pokvariæe moj vinograd, potlaèiæe dio moj, mili dio moj obratiæe u golu pustoš.
11 They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.
Obratiæe ga u pustoš, opustošen plakaæe preda mnom; sva æe ta zemlja opustjeti, jer niko ne uzima na um.
12 Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
Na sva visoka mjesta po pustinji doæi æe zatiraèi; jer æe maè Gospodnji proždirati od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga, neæe biti mira nijednom tijelu.
13 Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.
Sijaæe pšenicu, a trnje æe žeti; muèiæe se, a koristi neæe imati, i stidjeæe se ljetine svoje, sa žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.
14 This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them.
Ovako govori Gospod za sve zle susjede moje, koji diraju našljedstvo što dadoh narodu svojemu Izrailju: evo, ja æu ih poèupati iz zemlje njihove, i dom Judin išèupaæu isred njih.
15 And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.
A kad ih išèupam, opet æu se smilovati na njih, i dovešæu opet svakoga njih na našljedstvo njegovo i svakoga u zemlju njegovu.
16 And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.
I ako dobro nauèe putove naroda mojega, da se zaklinju mojim imenom: tako da je živ Gospod! kao što su oni uèili moj narod da se kune Valom, tada æe se sazidati usred naroda mojega.
17 But if they will not give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.
Ako li ne poslušaju, tada æu išèupati sasvijem taki narod i zatrti, govori Gospod.
