Jeremiah 12

1 Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly?

Pravedan si, Gospode, ako bih se pravdao s tobom; ali æu progovoriti o sudovima tvojim. Zašto je put bezbožnièki sreæan? zašto žive u miru svi koji èine nevjeru?

2 Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root: they prosper and bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

Ti ih posadi, i oni se ukorijeniše, rastu i rod raðaju; ti si im blizu usta ali daleko od bubrega.

3 And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as sheep for a sacrifice, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

Ali, Gospode, ti me poznaješ, razgledaš me i okušao si srce moje kako je prema tebi; odvuci ih kao ovce na klanje, i pripravi ih za dan kad æe se ubiti.

4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end.

Dokle æe tužiti zemlja, i trava svega polja sahnuti sa zloæe onijeh koji žive u njoj? nesta sve stoke i ptica, jer govore: ne vidi kraja našega.

5 If thou hast wearied with running with footmen, how canst thou contend with horses? and if thou hast been secure in a land of peace, what wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan?

Kad si trèao s pješcima pa te umoriše, kako æeš se utrkivati s konjma? i kad ti je tako u zemlji mirnoj, u koju se uzdaš, šta æeš èiniti kad ustane Jordan?

6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee.

Jer i braæa tvoja i dom oca tvojega, i oni te iznevjeriše, i oni vièu za tobom iza glasa. Ne vjeruj im, ako bi ti i prijateljski govorili.

7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies.

Ostavih dom svoj, napustih našljedstvo svoje; što bijaše milo duši mojoj, dadoh ga u ruke neprijateljima njegovijem.

8 My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: is hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it.

Našljedstvo moje posta mi kao lav u šumi, pušta glas svoj na mene, zato mi omrznu.

9 Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? Is it as a bird died throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all the beasts of the earth, make haste to devour.

Našljedstvo moje posta mi ptica grabljiva; ptice, sletite se na nju, skupite se svi zvjerovi poljski, hodite da jedete.

10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness.

Pastiri mnogi pokvariæe moj vinograd, potlaèiæe dio moj, mili dio moj obratiæe u golu pustoš.

11 They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart.

Obratiæe ga u pustoš, opustošen plakaæe preda mnom; sva æe ta zemlja opustjeti, jer niko ne uzima na um.

12 The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh.

Na sva visoka mjesta po pustinji doæi æe zatiraèi; jer æe maè Gospodnji proždirati od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga, neæe biti mira nijednom tijelu.

13 They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.

Sijaæe pšenicu, a trnje æe žeti; muèiæe se, a koristi neæe imati, i stidjeæe se ljetine svoje, sa žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.

14 Thus saith the Lord against all my wicked neighbors, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them.

Ovako govori Gospod za sve zle susjede moje, koji diraju našljedstvo što dadoh narodu svojemu Izrailju: evo, ja æu ih poèupati iz zemlje njihove, i dom Judin išèupaæu isred njih.

15 And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and I will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man to his land.

A kad ih išèupam, opet æu se smilovati na njih, i dovešæu opet svakoga njih na našljedstvo njegovo i svakoga u zemlju njegovu.

16 And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people.

I ako dobro nauèe putove naroda mojega, da se zaklinju mojim imenom: tako da je živ Gospod! kao što su oni uèili moj narod da se kune Valom, tada æe se sazidati usred naroda mojega.

17 But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.

Ako li ne poslušaju, tada æu išèupati sasvijem taki narod i zatrti, govori Gospod.
