< Jeremiah 4 >

1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jehovah, return unto me; and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not be a wanderer;
Ako æeš se vratiti, Izrailju, veli Gospod, k meni se vrati, i ako ukloniš gadove svoje ispred mene, neæeš se skitati.
2 — and thou shalt in truth, in justice, and in righteousness swear, [As] Jehovah liveth! and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
I kleæeš se istinito, vjerno i pravo: tako da je živ Gospod. I narodi æe se blagosiljati njim, i njim æe se hvaliti.
3 For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: Break up for you a fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Jer ovako veli Gospod Judejcima i Jerusalimljanima: orite sebi krèevinu, i ne sijte u trnje.
4 Circumcise yourselves for Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my fury come forth like fire and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Obrežite se Gospodu, i skinite okrajak sa srca svojega, Judejci i Jerusalimljani, da ne izide jarost moja kao oganj i razgori se da ne bude nikoga ko bi ugasio za zla djela vaša.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and cause it to be heard in Jerusalem, and say, ...and blow the trumpet in the land, cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced cities.
Objavite u Judeji i oglasite u Jerusalimu i recite: trubite u trubu po zemlji; vièite, sazovite narod i recite: skupite se, i uðimo u tvrde gradove.
6 Set up a banner toward Zion; take to flight, stay not! For I am bringing evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Podignite zastavu prema Sionu, bježite i ne stajte, jer æu dovesti zlo od sjevera i pogibao veliku.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, the destroyer of the nations is on his way; he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate; thy cities shall be laid waste, without inhabitant.
Izlazi lav iz èeste svoje i koji zatire narode krenuvši se ide s mjesta svojega da obrati zemlju tvoju u pustoš, gradovi tvoji da se raskopaju da ne bude nikoga u njima.
8 For this, gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl! for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned away from us.
Zato pripašite kostrijet, plaèite i ridajte, jer se žestoki gnjev Gospodnji nije odvratio od nas.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall be amazed.
I tada æe, veli Gospod, nestati srca caru i srca knezovima, i sveštenici æe se udiviti i proroci æe se zaèuditi.
10 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
I rekoh: ah Gospode Gospode! baš si prevario ovaj narod i Jerusalim govoreæi: imaæete mir, a maè doðe do duše.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind [cometh] from the heights in the wilderness, on the way of the daughter of my people, not for fanning, nor for cleansing.
U to æe se vrijeme kazati ovome narodu i Jerusalimu: vjetar vruæ s visokih mjesta u pustinji duva ka kæeri naroda mojega, ne da provije ni proèisti.
12 A wind more vehement than that shall come from me: now will I also pronounce judgments against them.
Vjetar jaèi od tijeh doæi æe mi; i ja æu im sada izreæi sud.
13 Behold, he cometh up as clouds, and his chariots are as a whirlwind; his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are destroyed.
Gle, kao oblak podiže se, i kola su mu kao vihor, konji su mu brži od orlova. Teško nama! propadosmo.
14 Wash thy heart, Jerusalem, from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Umij srce svoje oda zla, Jerusalime, da bi se izbavio; dokle æe stajati u tebi misli tvoje ništave?
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Jer glas javlja od Dana, i oglašuje zlo od gore Jefremove.
16 Inform the nations; behold, make Jerusalem to hear: Besiegers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
Kazujte narodima; evo oglašujte za Jerusalim da idu stražari iz daljne zemlje, i puštaju glas svoj na gradove Judine.
17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about; for she hath been rebellious against me, saith Jehovah.
Kao èuvari poljski staæe oko njega, jer se odmetnu od mene, veli Gospod.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto thee; this is thy wickedness, yea, it is bitter, yea, it reacheth unto thy heart.
Put tvoj i djela tvoja to ti uèiniše; to je od zla tvojega da je gorko i da ti dopire do srca.
19 My bowels! my bowels! I am in travail! [Oh, ] the walls of my heart! My heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace: for thou hearest, my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the clamour of war.
Jaoh utroba, jaoh utroba! boli me u srcu; srce mi bije; ne mogu muèati; jer glas trubni èuješ, dušo moja, viku ubojnu.
20 Destruction upon destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is wasted: suddenly are my tents laid waste, my curtains, in a moment.
Pogibao na pogibao oglašuje se; jer se pustoši sva zemlja, najedanput æe se opustošiti moji šatori, zavjesi moji zaèas.
21 How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of the trumpet?
Dokle æu gledati zastavu? slušati glas trubni?
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have no intelligence; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jer je narod moj bezuman, ne poznaje me, ludi su sinovi i bez razuma, mudri su da zlo èine, a dobro èiniti ne umiju.
23 I beheld the earth, and lo, it was waste and empty; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Pogledah na zemlju, a gle bez oblièja je i pusta; i na nebo, a svjetlosti njegove nema.
24 I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills shook violently.
Pogledah na gore, a gle, tresu se i svi humovi drmaju se.
25 I beheld, and lo, man was not, and all the fowl of the heavens were fled.
Pogledah, a gle, nema èovjeka, i sve ptice nebeske odletjele.
26 I beheld, and lo, the fruitful land was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down, before Jehovah, before his fierce anger.
Pogledah, a gle, Karmil je pustinja i svi gradovi njegovi oboreni od Gospoda, od žestokoga gnjeva njegova.
27 For thus saith Jehovah: The whole land shall be a desolation; but I will not make a full end.
Jer ovako govori Gospod: sva æe zemlja opustjeti; ali neæu sasvijem zatrti.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back therefrom.
Zato æe tužiti zemlja, i nebo æe gore potamnjeti, jer rekoh, namislih, i neæu se raskajati, niti æu udariti natrag.
29 At the noise of the horsemen and bowmen, every city fleeth; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken and no man dwelleth therein.
Od vike konjika i strijelaca pobjeæi æe svi gradovi, otiæi æe u guste šume i na stijene æe se popeti; svi æe gradovi biti ostavljeni i niko neæe u njima živjeti.
30 — And thou, wasted one, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rendest thine eyes with paint, in vain dost thou make thyself fair: [thy] lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.
A ti, opustošena, šta æeš èiniti? Ako se i oblaèiš u skerlet, ako se i kitiš nakitom zlatnijem, i mažeš lice svoje, zaludu se krasiš, preziru te milosnici, traže dušu tvoju.
31 For I hear a voice, as of a woman in travail, anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion: she moaneth, she spreadeth forth her hands, [saying], Woe unto me! for my soul faileth because of murderers.
Jer èujem glas kao porodiljin, cviljenje kao žene koja se prvi put poraða, glas kæeri Sionske, koja rida, pruža ruke svoje govoreæi: teško meni! jer mi nestaje duše od ubilaca.
