Jeremias 10
1 Hear you the word of the Lord, which he has spoken to you, O house of Israel.
Slušajte rijeè koju vam govori Gospod, dome Izrailjev.
2 Thus says the Lord, Learn you not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, [falling] on their faces.
Ovako veli Gospod: ne uèite se putu kojim idu narodi, i od znaka nebeskih ne plašite se, jer se od njih plaše narodi.
3 For the customs of the nations are vain; it is a tree cut out of the forest, the work of the carpenter, or a molten image.
Jer su uredbe u naroda taština, jer sijeku drvo u šumi, djelo ruku umjetnièkih sjekirom;
4 [They are] beautified with silver and gold, they fix them with hammers and nails;
Srebrom i zlatom ukrašuju ga, klinima i èekiæima utvrðuju ga da se ne pomièe;
5 they will set them up that they may not move; it is wrought silver, they will not walk, it is forged silver They must certainly be borne, for they can’t ride [of themselves]. Fear them not; for they can’t do any evil, and there is no good in them.
Stoje pravo kao palme, ne govore; treba ih nositi, jer ne mogu iæi; ne boj ih se, jer ne mogu zla uèiniti, a ne mogu ni dobra uèiniti.
Niko nije kao ti, Gospode; velik si i veliko je ime tvoje u sili.
Ko se ne bi tebe bojao, care nad narodima! jer tebi to pripada; jer meðu svijem mudarcima u naroda i u svijem carstvima njihovijem nema takoga kakav si ti.
Nego su svi ludi i bezumni, drvo je nauka o taštini.
Srebro kovano donosi se iz Tarsisa i zlato iz Ufaza, djelo umjetnièko i ruku zlatarskih, odijelo im je od porfire i skerleta, sve je djelo umjetnièko.
A Gospod je pravi Bog, Bog živi i car vjeèni, od njegove srdnje trese se zemlja, i gnjeva njegova ne mogu podnijeti narodi.
11 Thus shall you say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky.
Ovako im recite: bogova, koji nijesu naèinili neba ni zemlje, nestaæe sa zemlje i ispod neba.
12 It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky,
On je naèinio zemlju silom svojom, utvrdio vasiljenu mudrošæu svojom, i razumom svojim razastro nebesa;
13 and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures.
On kad pusti glas svoj, buèe vode na nebesima, podiže paru s krajeva zemaljskih, pušta munje s daždem, i izvodi vjetar iz staja njegovijeh.
14 Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.
Svaki èovjek posta bezuman od znanja, svaki se zlatar osramoti likom rezanijem, jer su laž liveni likovi njegovi, i nema duha u njima.
15 They are vain works, wrought in mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Taština su, djelo prijevarno; kad ih pohodim, poginuæe.
16 Such is not the portion of Jacob; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.
Nije taki dio Jakovljev, jer je tvorac svemu, i Izrailj mu je našljedstvo, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama.
17 He has gathered your substance from without the lodged in choice [vessels].
Pokupi iz zemlje trg svoj ti, koja sjediš u gradu.
18 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] overthrow the inhabitants of this land with affliction, that your plague may be discovered.
Jer ovako veli Gospod: gle, ja æu izbaciti kao praæom stanovnike ove zemlje, i pritijesniæu ih da osjete.
19 Alas for your ruin! your plague is grievous: and I said, Surely this is your wound, and it has overtaken you.
Teško meni od muke moje, reæi æe; ljuta je rana moja; a ja rekoh: to je bol, treba da ga podnosim.
20 Your tabernacle is in a ruinous state, it has perished; and all your curtains have been torn asunder: my children and my cattle are no more: there is no more any place for my tabernacle, [nor] place for my curtains.
Moj je šator opustošen i sva uža moja pokidana, sinovi moji otidoše od mene i nema ih, nema više nikoga da razapne šator moj i digne zavjese moje.
21 For the shepherds have become foolish, and have not sought the Lord; therefore the whole pasture has failed, and [the sheep] have been scattered.
Jer pastiri postaše bezumni i Gospoda ne tražiše; zato ne biše sreæni, i sve se stado njihovo rasprša.
22 Behold, there comes a sound of a noise, and a great earthquake from the land of the north, to make the cities of Juda a desolation, and a resting-place for ostriches.
Gle, ide glas i vreva velika iz sjeverne zemlje da obrati gradove Judine u pustoš, u stan zmajevski.
23 I know, O Lord, that man's way is not his own; neither shall a man go, and direct his going.
Znam, Gospode, da put èovjeèji nije u njegovoj vlasti niti je èovjeku koji hodi u vlasti da upravlja koracima svojim.
24 Chasten us, O Lord, but with judgement; and not in wrath, lest you make us few.
Karaj me, Gospode, ali s mjerom, ne u gnjevu svom, da me ne bi zatro.
25 Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the families that have not called upon your name: for they have devoured Jacob, and consumed him, and have made his pasture desolate.
Izlij gnjev svoj na narode koji te ne poznaju, i na plemena koja ne prizivlju imena tvojega, jer proždriješe Jakova, proždriješe ga da ga nema, i naselje njegovo opustiše.
