Jeremias 13

1 Thus saith the Lord, Go and procure for thyself a linen girdle, and put it about thy loins, and let it not be put in water.

Ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi i kupi sebi pojas lanen i opaši se njim, a ne meæi ga u vodu.

2 So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.

Tako kupih pojas po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i opasah se njim.

3 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Potom doðe mi opet rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

4 Take the girdle that is upon thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

Uzmi taj pojas što si kupio, što je oko tebe, pa se digni i idi na Efrat, i sakrij ga ondje u kaku rasjelinu kamenu.

5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.

I otidoh i sakrih ga kod Efrata, kako mi zapovjedi Gospod.

6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.

A poslije mnogo vremena reèe mi Gospod: ustani i idi na Efrat, i uzmi pojas koji ti zapovjedih da sakriješ ondje.

7 So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.

I otidoh na Efrat i otkopah i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio; a gle, pojas otruhnuo, i ne bješe ni za što.

8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,

Tada mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

9 Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;

Ovako veli Gospod: tako æu uèiniti da otruhne ponos Judin i veliki ponos Jerusalimski,

10 [even] this great pride [of the men] that will not hearken to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.

Toga naroda nevaljaloga, što neæe da sluša mojih rijeèi, što hodi po mislima srca svojega i ide za drugim bogovima služeæi im i klanjajuæi im se; i biæe kao taj pojas, koji nije ni za što.

11 For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not hearken to me.

Jer kako se pojas pripoji oko èovjeka, tako bijah pripojio oko sebe sav dom Izrailjev i sav dom Judin, veli Gospod, da bi bili moj narod na slavu i hvalu i diku; ali ne poslušaše.

12 And thou shalt say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that thou shalt say to them,

Zato im reci ovu rijeè: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: svi se mjehovi pune vina. A oni æe reæi: zar ne znamo da se svi mjehovi pune vina?

13 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.

Tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu napuniti pjanosti sve stanovnike ove zemlje i careve, koji sjede mjesto Davida na prijestolu njegovu, i sveštenike i proroke i sve stanovnike Jerusalimske.

14 And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, saith the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction.

I razbiæu ih jednoga o drugoga, i oceve i sinove, veli Gospod; neæu požaliti ni poštedjeti niti se smilovati, da ih ne potrem.

15 Hear ye, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.

Slušajte i èujte, nemojte se ponositi, jer Gospod govori.

16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and ye shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.

Dajte slavu Gospodu Bogu svojemu dok nije spustio mrak, dokle se nijesu spotakle noge vaše po gorama mraènijem, da èekate svjetlost a on je obrati u sjen smrtni i pretvori u tamu.

17 But if ye will not hearken, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.

Ako li ovo ne poslušate, duša æe moja plakati tajno radi oholosti vaše i roniti suze, suze æe teæi iz oka mojega, jer æe se zarobiti stado Gospodnje.

18 Say ye to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.

Reci caru i carici: dolje sjedite, jer æe se slavni vijenac vaš skinuti s vaše glave.

19 The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal.

Gradovi južni zatvoriæe se i neæe biti nikoga da ih otvori, odvešæe se Juda u ropstvo, sasvijem æe se odvesti u ropstvo.

20 Lift up thine eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, the sheep of thy glory?

Podignite oèi svoje i vidite one što idu od sjevera. Gdje je stado što ti je predano, stado slave tvoje?

21 What wilt thou say when they shall visit thee, for thou didst teach them lessons for rule against thyself; shall not pangs seize thee as a woman in travail?

Šta æeš reæi kad te pohodi? Jer si ih ti nauèio da budu knezovi nad tobom. Neæe li te spopasti bolovi kao ženu kad se poraða?

22 And if thou shouldest say in thine heart, Wherefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of thine iniquity have thy skirts been discovered, that thine heels might be exposed.

Ako li reèeš u srcu svom: zašto me to zadesi? za mnoštvo bezakonja tvojega uzgrnuæe se skuti tvoji i obuæa ti se skinuti.

23 If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall ye be able to do good, having learnt evil.

Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju ili ris šare svoje? možete li vi èiniti dobro nauèivši se èiniti zlo?

24 So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.

Zato æu ih razmetnuti kao što razmeæe pljevu vjetar iz pustinje.

25 Thus is thy lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, saith the Lord; as thou didst forget me, and trust in lies,

To je dio tvoj i obrok tvoj od mene, govori Gospod, zato što si me zaboravio i pouzdao se u laž.

26 I also will expose thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall be seen;

Zato æu ti ja uzgrnuti skute na lice da se vidi sramota tvoja.

27 thine adultery also, and thy neighing, and the looseness of thy fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, for thou hast not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]?

Preljube tvoje, rzanje tvoje, sramotna kurvarstva tvoja po humovima, po poljima, gadove tvoje vidio sam; teško tebi, Jerusalime! zar se neæeš oèistiti? dokle još?
