Jeremias 6
1 Strengthen yourselves, you children of Benjamin, [to flee] out of the midst of Jerusalem, and sound an alarm with the trumpet in Thecue, and set up a signal over Baethacharma: for evil threatens from the north, and a great destruction is coming.
Skupite se iz Jerusalima, sinovi Venijaminovi, i u Tekuji zatrubite u trubu, i podignite znak ognjen nad Vet-Akeremom, jer se vidi zlo od sjevera i velika pogibao.
2 And [your] pride, O daughter of Sion, shall be taken away.
Uèinih kæer Sionsku da je kao lijepa i nježna djevojka.
3 The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her; and they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about, and shall feed [their flocks] each with his hand.
K njoj æe doæi pastiri sa stadima svojim, razapeæe oko nje šatore, svaki æe opasti svoje mjesto.
4 Prepare yourselves for war against her; rise up, and let us go up against her at noon. Woe to us! for the day has gone down, for the shadows of the day fail.
Spremite rat na nju, ustanite da udarimo u podne. Teško nama, jer dan naže, i sjenke veèernje oduljaše.
5 Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations.
Ustanite da udarimo obnoæ i razvalimo dvorove njezine.
6 For thus says the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her.
Jer ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: sijecite drva, i naèinite opkope prema Jerusalimu; to je grad koji treba pohoditi; koliki je god, nasilje je u njemu.
7 As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her.
Kao što izvor toèi vodu svoju, tako on toèi zloæu svoju; nasilje i otimanje èuje se u njemu, preda mnom su jednako bolovi i rane.
8 You shall be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you a desert land, which shall not be inhabited.
Popravi se, Jerusalime, da se ne otrgne duša moja od tebe, da te ne obratim u pustinju, u zemlju gdje se ne živi.
9 For thus says the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket.
Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: ostatak æe se Izrailjev pabirèiti kao vinova loza. Turaj ruku svoju kao beraè u kotarice.
10 To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may listen? behold, your ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it.
Kome æu govoriti i svjedoèiti da èuju? Gle, uho im je neobrezano, te ne mogu èuti; gle, rijeè je Gospodnja njima potsmijeh, nije im mila.
11 And I allowed my wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them: I will pour it out on the children without, and on the assembly of young men together: for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days.
Zato sam pun gnjeva Gospodnjega; iznemogoh ustežuæi ga; prosuæu ga na djecu po ulicama i na sabrane mladiæe, i èovjek i žena uhvatiæe se, i stari i vremeniti.
12 And their houses shall be turned to others, [with] their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of this land, says the Lord.
I kuæe æe njihove pripasti drugima, i njive i žene, kad mahnem rukom svojom na stanovnike ove zemlje, veli Gospod.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest they have all committed iniquity; from the priest even to the false prophet they have all wrought falsely.
Jer od maloga do velikoga svi se dadoše na lakomstvo, i prorok i sveštenik, svi su varalice.
14 And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace?
I lijeèe rane kæeri naroda mojega ovlaš, govoreæi: mir, mir; a mira nema.
15 They were ashamed because they failed; yet they were not ashamed as those who are [truly] ashamed, and they knew not their own disgrace: therefore shall they [utterly] fall when they do fall, and in the time of visitation shall they perish, said the Lord.
Eda li se postidješe što èiniše gad? Niti se postidješe niti znaju za stid; zato æe popadati meðu onima koji padaju; kad ih pohodim, popadaæe, veli Gospod.
16 Thus says the Lord, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and you shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them].
Gospod reèe ovako: stanite na putovima i pogledajte, i pitajte za stare staze, koji je put dobar, pa idite po njemu, i naæi æete mir duši svojoj. A oni rekoše: neæemo da idemo.
17 I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear you the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it].
I postavih vam stražare govoreæi: pazite na glas trubni. A oni rekoše: neæemo da pazimo.
18 Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks.
Zato èujte, narodi, i poznaj, zbore, što je meðu njima.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evils upon this people, [even] the fruit of their rebellions; for they have not heeded my words, and they have rejected my law.
Èuj, zemljo! evo ja æu pustiti zlo na ovaj narod, plod misli njihovijeh, jer ne paze na moje rijeèi, i odbaciše zakon moj.
20 Therefore do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and cinnamon from a land afar off? your whole burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been pleasant to me.
Što æe mi tamjan, što dolazi iz Save, i dobri cimet iz daleke zemlje? Žrtve vaše paljenice nijesu mi ugodne, niti su mi prinosi vaši mili.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] bring weakness upon this people, and the fathers and sons shall be weak together; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Zato ovako govori Gospod: evo ja æu metnuti ovom narodu smetnje, o koje æe se spotaæi i ocevi i sinovi, susjed i prijatelj mu, i poginuæe.
22 Thus says the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north, and nations shall be stirred up from the end of the earth.
Ovako govori Gospod: evo narod æe doæi iz zemlje sjeverne, i velik æe narod ustati od krajeva zemaljskih.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; [the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy; their voice is as the roaring sea; they shall array themselves for war against you as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Sion.
Luk i koplje nosiæe, žestoki æe biti i nemilostivi, glas æe im buèati kao more, i jahaæe na konjma, spremni kao junaci da se biju s tobom, kæeri Sionska.
24 We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail.
Kad èujemo glas o njemu, klonuæe nam ruke, tuga æe nas spopasti i bolovi kao porodilju.
25 Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about.
Ne izlazite u polje, i putem ne idite, jer je maè neprijateljev i strah unaokolo.
26 O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth: sprinkle [yourself] with ashes; make for yourself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you.
Kæeri naroda mojega, pripaši kostrijet i valjaj se u pepelu, žali kao za sinom jedincem i ridaj gorko, jer æe brzo doæi na nas zatiraè.
27 I have caused you to be tried amongst tried nations, and you shall know me when I have tried their way.
Postavih te da si stražara i grad narodu mom da doznaješ i izviðaš put njihov.
28 [They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted.
Svi su odmetnici nad odmetnicima, idu te opadaju, mjed su i gvožðe, svi su pokvareni.
29 The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed.
Izgorješe mjehovi, oganj sažeže olovo, uzalud se pretapa, jer se zla ne mogu odluèiti.
30 Call you them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
Oni æe se zvati srebro lažno, jer ih Gospod odbaci.
