Jeremiah 10
1 Listen to the word that the Lord has spoken concerning you, O house of Israel.
Слушајте реч коју вам говори Господ, доме Израиљев.
2 Thus says the Lord: “Do not choose to learn according to the ways of the Gentiles. And do not be willing to dread the signs of heaven, which the Gentiles fear.
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 the laws of the people are empty. For the work of the hand of the craftsman has cut a tree from the forest with an axe.
Јер су уредбе у народа таштина, јер секу дрво у шуми, дело руку уметничких секиром;
4 He has adorned it with silver and gold. He has put it together with nail and hammer, so that it will not fall apart.
Сребром и златом украшују га, клинима и чекићима утврђују га да се не помиче;
5 They have been fabricated in the likeness of a palm tree, and they will not speak. They must be carried to be moved, because they do not have the ability to walk. Therefore, do not be willing to fear them, for they can do neither evil nor 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 O Lord, there is nothing similar to you. You are great, and your name is great in strength.
Нико није као Ти, Господе; велик си и велико је име Твоје у сили.
7 Who will not fear you, O King of the nations? For honor is yours. Among all the wise of the nations, and within all their kingdoms, there is nothing similar to 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 Together, they will all be proven to be unwise and foolish. The doctrine of their vanity is made of wood.
Него су сви луди и безумни, дрво је наука о таштини.
9 Rolled silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. It is the work of a craftsman, and of the hand of a coppersmith. Hyacinth and purple is their clothing. All these things are the work of artists.
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 the everlasting King. Before his indignation, the earth will shake. And the Gentiles will not be able to withstand his threats.
А Господ је прави Бог, Бог живи и цар вечни, од Његове срдње тресе се земља, и гнев Његов не могу поднети народи.
11 “And so, you shall speak to them in this way: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth and from among those places which are under heaven.
Овако им реците: Богови, који нису начинили небо ни земљу, нестаће са земље и испод неба.
12 He made the earth by his power, he prepared the world in his wisdom, and he stretched out the heavens with his understanding.
Он је начинио земљу силом својом, утврдио васиљену мудрошћу својом, и разумом својим разастро небеса;
13 At his voice, he grants a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he lifts up the clouds from the ends of the earth. He causes the lightning with the rain, and he leads forth the wind from his storehouses.
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 Every man has become a fool concerning knowledge; every artist has been confounded by his graven image. For what he has formed is false, and there is no spirit in these things.
Сваки човек поста безуман од знања, сваки се златар осрамоти ликом резаним, јер су лаж ливени ликови његови, и нема духа у њима.
15 These things are empty, and they are a work deserving of ridicule. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Таштина су, дело преварно; кад их походим, погинуће.
16 Jacob’s portion is not like their portion. For his portion is from the One who formed all things. And Israel is the staff of his inheritance. The Lord of hosts is his name.
Није такав део Јаковљев, јер је Творац свему, и Израиљ Му је наследство, име Му је Господ над војскама.
17 Gather your shame from the earth, you who are living under siege.”
Покупи из земље трг свој ти, која седиш у граду.
18 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, in this turn, I will cast the inhabitants of the land far away. And I will afflict them no matter where they may be found.”
Јер овако вели Господ: Гле, ја ћу избацити као праћом становнике ове земље, и притеснићу их да осете.
19 Woe to me, concerning my destruction! My wound is very grievous. And yet I said: Clearly, this infirmity is mine, and I will carry 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 has been destroyed. All my cords have been broken. My sons have gone away from me; they did not remain. There is no one to stretch out my tent any more, nor to set 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 pastors have acted foolishly, and they have not sought the Lord. Because of this, they have not understood, and all their flock has been dispersed.
Јер пастири посташе безумни и Господа не тражише; зато не бише срећни, и све се стадо њихово распрша.
22 Behold, the sound of a voice approaches, a great commotion from the land of the north: so that he may make the cities of Judah into a wilderness and into a dwelling place for serpents.
Гле, иде глас и врева велика из северне земље да обрати градове Јудине у пустош, у стан змајевски.
23 I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not his own. Neither is it given to man to walk and to direct his own steps.
Знам, Господе, да пут човечји није у његовој власти нити је човеку који ходи у власти да управља корацима својим.
24 Correct me, O Lord, yet truly, do so with judgment, and not in your fury. Otherwise, you will reduce me to nothing.
Карај ме, Господе, али с мером, не у гневу свом, да ме не би затро.
25 Pour out your indignation upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the provinces that have not invoked your name. For they have fed upon Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and they have utterly destroyed his honor.
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.
