Jeremiah 13

1 Thus says the LORD to me, Go and get you a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and put it not in water.

Ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi i kupi sebi pojas lanen i opaši se njim, a ne meæi ga u vodu.

2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.

Tako kupih pojas po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i opasah se njim.

3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,

Potom doðe mi opet rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

4 Take the girdle that you have got, which is on your loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

Uzmi taj pojas što si kupio, što je oko tebe, pa se digni i idi na Efrat, i sakrij ga ondje u kaku rasjelinu kamenu.

5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

I otidoh i sakrih ga kod Efrata, kako mi zapovjedi Gospod.

6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

A poslije mnogo vremena reèe mi Gospod: ustani i idi na Efrat, i uzmi pojas koji ti zapovjedih da sakriješ ondje.

7 Then I went to Euphrates, and dig, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

I otidoh na Efrat i otkopah i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio; a gle, pojas otruhnuo, i ne bješe ni za što.

8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Tada mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

9 Thus says the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

Ovako veli Gospod: tako æu uèiniti da otruhne ponos Judin i veliki ponos Jerusalimski,

10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

Toga naroda nevaljaloga, što neæe da sluša mojih rijeèi, što hodi po mislima srca svojega i ide za drugim bogovima služeæi im i klanjajuæi im se; i biæe kao taj pojas, koji nije ni za što.

11 For as the girdle sticks to the loins of a man, so have I caused to stick to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says the LORD; that they might be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Jer kako se pojas pripoji oko èovjeka, tako bijah pripojio oko sebe sav dom Izrailjev i sav dom Judin, veli Gospod, da bi bili moj narod na slavu i hvalu i diku; ali ne poslušaše.

12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word; Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

Zato im reci ovu rijeè: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: svi se mjehovi pune vina. A oni æe reæi: zar ne znamo da se svi mjehovi pune vina?

13 Then shall you say to them, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

Tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu napuniti pjanosti sve stanovnike ove zemlje i careve, koji sjede mjesto Davida na prijestolu njegovu, i sveštenike i proroke i sve stanovnike Jerusalimske.

14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

I razbiæu ih jednoga o drugoga, i oceve i sinove, veli Gospod; neæu požaliti ni poštedjeti niti se smilovati, da ih ne potrem.

15 Hear you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.

Slušajte i èujte, nemojte se ponositi, jer Gospod govori.

16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

Dajte slavu Gospodu Bogu svojemu dok nije spustio mrak, dokle se nijesu spotakle noge vaše po gorama mraènijem, da èekate svjetlost a on je obrati u sjen smrtni i pretvori u tamu.

17 But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive.

Ako li ovo ne poslušate, duša æe moja plakati tajno radi oholosti vaše i roniti suze, suze æe teæi iz oka mojega, jer æe se zarobiti stado Gospodnje.

18 Say to the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

Reci caru i carici: dolje sjedite, jer æe se slavni vijenac vaš skinuti s vaše glave.

19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.

Gradovi južni zatvoriæe se i neæe biti nikoga da ih otvori, odvešæe se Juda u ropstvo, sasvijem æe se odvesti u ropstvo.

20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?

Podignite oèi svoje i vidite one što idu od sjevera. Gdje je stado što ti je predano, stado slave tvoje?

21 What will you say when he shall punish you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?

Šta æeš reæi kad te pohodi? Jer si ih ti nauèio da budu knezovi nad tobom. Neæe li te spopasti bolovi kao ženu kad se poraða?

22 And if you say in your heart, Why come these things on me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts discovered, and your heels made bore.

Ako li reèeš u srcu svom: zašto me to zadesi? za mnoštvo bezakonja tvojega uzgrnuæe se skuti tvoji i obuæa ti se skinuti.

23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju ili ris šare svoje? možete li vi èiniti dobro nauèivši se èiniti zlo?

24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.

Zato æu ih razmetnuti kao što razmeæe pljevu vjetar iz pustinje.

25 This is your lot, the portion of your measures from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

To je dio tvoj i obrok tvoj od mene, govori Gospod, zato što si me zaboravio i pouzdao se u laž.

26 Therefore will I discover your skirts on your face, that your shame may appear.

Zato æu ti ja uzgrnuti skute na lice da se vidi sramota tvoja.

27 I have seen your adulteries, and your neighings, the lewdness of your prostitution, and your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! will you not be made clean? when shall it once be?

Preljube tvoje, rzanje tvoje, sramotna kurvarstva tvoja po humovima, po poljima, gadove tvoje vidio sam; teško tebi, Jerusalime! zar se neæeš oèistiti? dokle još?
