Jeremiah 15

1 Then sayde the Lord vnto me, Though Moses and Samuel stoode before mee, yet mine affection coulde not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them depart.

I reče mi Jahve: “Kad bi i Mojsije i Samuel stali pred lice moje, ne bi mi se duša obratila narodu tome. Otjeraj ih ispred lice mojega, neka idu od mene!

2 And if they say vnto thee, Whither shall we depart? then tell them, Thus saith the Lord, Such as are appointed to death, vnto death: and such as are for the sworde, to the sworde: and such as are for the famine, to the famine: and such as are for the captiuitie, to the captiuitie.

Ako te upitaju: 'Kamo da idemo?' odgovori im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Tko je za smrt, u smrt! Tko je za mač, pod mač! Tko je za glad, u glad! Tko je za izgnanstvo, u izgnanstvo!'

3 And I wil appoint ouer them foure kindes, sayth the Lord, the sworde to slay, and the dogs to teare in pieces, and the soules of the heauen, and the beastes of the earth to deuoure, and to destroy.

Poslat ću na njih četiri nevolje - riječ je Jahvina: mač da ih ubija, pse da ih rastrgaju, ptice nebeske i zvjerad da ih žderu i zatiru.

4 I will scatter them also in all kingdomes of the earth, because of Manasseh the sonne of Hezekiah King of Iudah, for that which he did in Ierusalem.

I učinit ću ih užasom svim kraljevstvima zemaljskim, i to zbog Manašea, sina Ezekijina, kralja judejskoga - za sva zla što ih počini u Jeruzalemu.”

5 Who shall then haue pitie vpon thee, O Ierusalem? or who shalbe sorie for thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?

“Tko da se smiluje tebi, Jeruzaleme, tko da te požali? Tko li će se svratit' da te zapita kako ti je?

6 Thou hast forsaken me, sayth the Lord, and gone backward: therefore wil I stretch out mine hand against thee, and destroy thee: for I am weary with repenting.

Ti me odbaci - riječ je Jahvina - i leđa mi okrenu. I zato na te digoh ruku zatornicu. Dojadi mi da ti uvijek praštam!

7 And I wil scatter them with the fanne in the gates of the earth I haue wasted, and destroyed my people, yet they would not returne from their wayes.

Zato ću ih izvijati vijačom na vratima zemlje ove. Narod svoj ću lišit' djece i istrijebit' ga, jer se ne obraćaju sa svojih putova.

8 Their widdowes are increased by mee aboue the sande of the sea: I haue brought vpon them, and against the assembly of the yong men a destroyer at noone day: I haue caused him to fal vpon them, and the citie suddenly, and speedily.

Bit će u njih više udovica negoli pijeska morskoga. Na majke mladih ratnika dovest ću zatornika, usred podneva, i pustit ću na njih iznenada užas i strahotu.

9 Shee that hath borne seuen, hath bene made weake: her heart hath failed: the sunne hath failed her, whiles it was day: she hath bene confounded, and ashamed, and the residue of them will I deliuer vnto the sworde before their enemies, sayth the Lord.

Onesvijestila se roditeljka sedmero djece, dušu ispustila. Sunce joj zađe još za dana: postiđena, osramoćena je. A što od njih ostane, pod mač ću vrći pred njihovim dušmanima” - riječ je Jahvina.

10 Wo is mee, my mother, that thou hast borne mee, a contentious man, and a man that striueth with the whole earth I haue neither lent on vsury, nor men haue lent vnto me on vsurie: yet euery one doeth curse me.

Jao meni, majko, što si me rodila, da svađam se i prepirem sa svom zemljom. Nikom ne uzajmih, ni od koga zajma ne uzeh, a ipak svi me proklinju.

11 The Lord sayd, Surely thy remnant shall haue wealth: surely I will cause thine enemie to intreate thee in the time of trouble, and in the time of affliction.

Uistinu, o Jahve, nisam li ti služio za njihovo dobro, nisam li tražio milost u tebe za neprijatelja svoga, u doba nevolje, u danima tjeskobe njegove? Ti to dobro znaš!

12 Shall the yron breake the yron, and the brasse that commeth from the North?

Može l' se željezo slomiti, željezo sa Sjevera i mjed?

13 Thy substance and thy treasures wil I giue to be spoyled without gaine, and that for all thy sinnes euen in all thy borders.

Tvoje bogatstvo i blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za sva bezakonja svoja po svoj zemlji.

14 And I wil make thee to go with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burne you.

Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ, jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vas sažgati, koji će protiv vas buknuti.

15 O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visite me, and reuenge me of my persecuters: take mee not away in the continuance of thine anger: know that for thy sake I haue suffered rebuke.

Jahve, spomeni me se i pohodi me i kazni progonitelje moje. Ne daj da propadnem zbog sporosti srdžbe tvoje! Spomeni se da tebe radi podnosim sramotu.

16 Thy wordes were founde by me, and I did eate them, and thy worde was vnto me the ioy and reioycing of mine heart: for thy Name is called vpon me, O Lord God of hostes.

Kad mi dođoše riječi tvoje, ja sam ih gutao: riječi tvoje ushitiše i obradovaše srce moje. Jer sam se tvojim zvao imenom, o Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama.

17 I sate not in the assembly of the mockers, neither did I reioyce, but sate alone because of thy plague: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

Nikad sjedio nisam u društvu veseljaka da se razveselim. Pod težinom ruke tvoje samotan živim, jer ti me jarošću prože.

18 Why is mine heauines continuall? and my plague desperate and cannot be healed? why art thou vnto me as a lyar, and as waters that faile?

Zašto je bol moja bez prebola? Zašto je rana moja neiscjeljiva i nikako da zaraste? Ah! Hoćeš li meni biti kao potok nestalan, vodama nepouzdan?

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou returne, then wil I bring thee againe, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take away the precious from the vile, thou shalt be according to my worde: let them returne vnto thee, but returne not thou vnto them.

Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Ako se vratiš, pustit ću te da mi opet služiš; ako odvojiš dragocjeno od bezvrijedna, bit ćeš usta moja. Oni će se okrenuti k tebi, al' ti se zato ne smiješ okrenuti k njima!

20 And I will make thee vnto this people a strong brasen wall, and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee to saue thee and to deliuer thee, saith ye Lord.

Učinit ću od tebe za ovaj narod zid od mjedi, neosvojiv. Borit će se protiv tebe, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom, da te spasim i izbavim” - riječ je Jahvina.

21 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeeme thee out of the hand of the tyrants.

“Izbavit ću te iz ruku zlikovaca i otkupiti te iz ruku silnika.”
