Jeremiah 2
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.
Idi i vièi Jerusalimu da èuje i govori: ovako veli Gospod: opominjem te se po milosti u mladosti tvojoj i po ljubavi o vjeridbi tvojoj, kad iðaše za mnom po pustinji, i po zemlji gdje se ne sije.
3 Israel was holiness unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him are guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah.
Izrailj bješe svetinja Gospodu i prvina od rodova njegovijeh; koji je jeðahu svi bijahu krivi, zlo dolažaše na njih, veli Gospod.
4 Hear the word of Jehovah, house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
Èujte rijeè Gospodnju, dome Jakovljev i sve porodice doma Izrailjeva.
5 Thus saith Jehovah: What injustice have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and become vain?
Ovako veli Gospod: kaku nepravdu naðoše oci vaši u mene, te otstupiše od mene, i pristaše za ništavilom, i postaše ništavi?
6 And they said not, Where is Jehovah, that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and of pits, in a land of drought and of the shadow of death, in a land that no one passeth through, and where no man dwelleth?
I ne rekoše: gdje je Gospod koji nas je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, koji nas je vodio po pustinji, po zemlji pustoj i punoj propasti, po zemlji suhoj i gdje je sjen smrtni, po zemlji preko koje niko nije hodio i u kojoj niko nije živio?
7 And I brought you into a fruitful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof; and ye entered and defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
I kad vas dovedoh u zemlju rodnu da jedete rod njezin i dobra njezina, došavši oskvrniste zemlju moju i od našljedstva mojega naèiniste gad.
8 The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handled the law knew me not; and the shepherds transgressed against me; and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not profit.
Sveštenici ne rekoše: gdje je Gospod? I koji se bave zakonom ne poznaše me, i pastiri odustaše me, i proroci prorokovaše Valom i idoše za stvarima zaludnijem.
9 Therefore will I yet plead with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children's children will I plead.
Zato æu se još preti s vama, veli Gospod, i sa sinovima sinova vaših preæu se.
10 For pass over to the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there have been such a thing.
Jer proðite ostrva Kitimska i vidite, i pošljite u Kidar, i razgledajte dobro, i vidite je li bilo tako što:
11 Hath a nation changed [its] gods? and they are no gods; — but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
Je li koji narod promijenio bogove, ako i nijesu bogovi? a moj narod promijeni slavu svoju na stvar zaludnu.
12 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and shudder; be amazed very much, saith Jehovah.
Èudite se tome, nebesa, i zgrozite se i upropastite se! veli Gospod.
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, to hew them out cisterns, broken cisterns that hold no water.
Jer dva zla uèini moj narod: ostaviše mene, izvor žive vode, i iskopaše sebi studence, studence isprovaljivane, koji ne mogu da drže vode.
14 Is Israel a bondman? Is he a home-born [slave]? Why is he become a spoil?
Je li Izrailj rob? je li rob u kuæi roðen? zašto posta grabež?
15 The young lions roared against him, they gave forth their voice, and they made his land desolate: his cities are burned, without inhabitant.
Rikaše na nj laviæi i dizaše glas svoj, i obratiše zemlju njegovu u pustoš; gradovi su mu popaljeni, te nema nikoga da živi u njima.
16 Even the children of Noph and Tahapanes have fed on the crown of thy head.
I sinovi Nofski i Tafneski opasoše ti tjeme.
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, at the time he was leading thee in the way?
Nijesi li to sam sebi uèinio ostaviv Gospoda Boga svojega kad te voðaše putem?
18 And now, what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? And what hast thou to do with the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
A sada što æe ti put Misirski da piješ vode Siorske? što li æe ti put Asirski da piješ vode iz rijeke?
19 Thine own wickedness chastiseth thee, and thy backslidings reprove thee: know then and see that it is an evil thing and bitter that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Tvoja æe te zloæa pokarati i tvoje æe te odmetanje prekoriti. Poznaj dakle i vidi da je zlo i gorko što si ostavio Gospoda Boga svojega i što nema straha mojega u tebi, veli Gospod Gospod nad vojskama.
20 For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, [and] burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not serve. For upon every high hill, and under every green tree, thou bowest down, playing the harlot.
Jer davno izlomih jaram tvoj i raskidoh sveze tvoje, i ti reèe: neæu biti sluga; a na svaki visoki hum i pod svako zeleno drvo ideš da se kurvaš.
21 And I, — I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then art thou turned into the degenerate shoots of a strange vine unto me?
Ja te posadih lozu izabranu, sve sjeme istinito; pa kako mi se promijeni i izmetnu se odvoda od tuðe loze?
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much potash, thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Da se izmiješ salitrom i uzmeš mnogo sapuna, opet æe se poznavati bezakonje tvoje preda mnom, veli Gospod Gospod.
23 How sayest thou, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baals? See thy way in the valley, acknowledge what thou hast done — a swift dromedary traversing her ways!
Kako možeš reæi: nijesam se oskvrnio, nijesam išao za Valima? Pogledaj put svoj po dolu; poznaj šta si uèinila, brza kamilo, koja ostavljaš znake na svojim putovima.
24 — a wild ass, used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire! In her ardour, who shall turn her away? All they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
Kao divlja magarica, koja je navikla na pustinju i po želji duše svoje vuèe u se vjetar, kad navali, ko æe je vratiti? koji je traže neæe se umoriti, naæi æe je u mjesecu njezinu.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst, There is no hope; no, for I love strangers, and after them will I go.
Èuvaj nogu svoju, da nije bosa, i grlo svoje, da ne žedni. Ali ti veliš: od toga nema ništa; ne, jer ljubim tuðe, i za njima æu iæi.
26 As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall the house of Israel be ashamed — they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets —
Kao što se lupež posrami kad se uhvati, tako æe se posramiti dom Izrailjev, oni, carevi njihovi, knezovi njihovi, i sveštenici njihovi i proroci njihovi,
27 saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth; for they have turned the back unto me, and not the face; and in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us!
Koji govore drvetu: ti si otac moj; i kamenu: ti si me rodio; jer mi okrenuše leða a ne lice; a kad su u nevolji govore: ustani i izbavi nas.
28 Where then are thy gods that thou hast made for thyself? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for as the number of thy cities, are thy gods, O Judah.
A gdje su bogovi tvoji koje si naèinio sebi? neka ustanu, ako te mogu izbaviti kad si u nevolji, jer imaš, Juda, bogova koliko gradova.
29 Wherefore would ye contend with me? Ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah.
Zašto hoæete da se pravdate sa mnom? vi ste se svi odmetnuli od mene, veli Gospod.
30 In vain have I smitten your children: they received no correction. Your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Uzalud bih sinove vaše, ne primiše nauke; maè vaš proždrije proroke vaše kao lav koji davi.
31 O generation, mark ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel, or a land of thick darkness? Wherefore say my people, We have dominion; we will come no more unto thee?
O rode! vidite rijeè Gospodnju; bijah li pustinja Izrailju ili mraèna zemlja? zašto govori moj narod: gospodari smo, neæemo više doæi k tebi?
32 Doth a virgin forget her ornaments, a bride her attire? But my people have forgotten me days without number.
Zaboravlja li djevojka svoj nakit i nevjesta ures svoj? a narod moj zaboravi me toliko dana da im nema broja.
33 How dost thou trim thy way to seek love! Therefore hast thou also accustomed thy ways to wickedness.
Zašto govoriš da je dobar tvoj put tražeæi što ljubiš? pa si i nevaljale žene nauèio svojim putovima.
34 Yea, in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor, whom thou didst not encounter breaking in, but [it is found] upon all these.
I jošte na skutovima tvojim nalazi se krv siromaha pravijeh; ne nalazim kopajuæi, nego je na svjema njima.
35 And thou sayest, Indeed I am innocent; his anger will turn from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
A ti govoriš: nijesam kriv, gnjev se je njegov odvratio od mene. Evo ja æu se preti s tobom što govoriš: nijesam zgriješio.
36 Why dost thou gad about so much, and change thy way? Thou shalt also be brought to shame by Egypt, as thou wast brought to shame by Assyria.
Zašto trèkaš tako mijenjajuæi svoj put? Posramiæeš se od Misirca kako si se posramio od Asirca.
37 Thou shalt indeed go forth from her with thy hands upon thy head; for Jehovah hath rejected those thou confidest in, and thou shalt not prosper by them.
Otiæi æeš i odatle s rukama nad glavom svojom, jer Gospod odbacuje uzdanice tvoje, i neæeš biti sreæan u njima.
