Jeremiah 6
1 O you children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the middle of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appears out of the north, and great destruction.
Skupite se iz Jerusalima, sinovi Venijaminovi, i u Tekuji zatrubite u trubu, i podignite znak ognjen nad Vet-Akeremom, jer se vidi zlo od sjevera i velika pogibao.
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
Uèinih kæer Sionsku da je kao lijepa i nježna djevojka.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
K njoj æe doæi pastiri sa stadima svojim, razapeæe oko nje šatore, svaki æe opasti svoje mjesto.
4 Prepare you war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day goes away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Spremite rat na nju, ustanite da udarimo u podne. Teško nama, jer dan naže, i sjenke veèernje oduljaše.
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Ustanite da udarimo obnoæ i razvalimo dvorove njezine.
6 For thus has the LORD of hosts said, Hew you down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the middle of her.
Jer ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: sijecite drva, i naèinite opkope prema Jerusalimu; to je grad koji treba pohoditi; koliki je god, nasilje je u njemu.
7 As a fountain casts out her waters, so she casts out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
Kao što izvor toèi vodu svoju, tako on toèi zloæu svoju; nasilje i otimanje èuje se u njemu, preda mnom su jednako bolovi i rane.
8 Be you instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited.
Popravi se, Jerusalime, da se ne otrgne duša moja od tebe, da te ne obratim u pustinju, u zemlju gdje se ne živi.
9 Thus says the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.
Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: ostatak æe se Izrailjev pabirèiti kao vinova loza. Turaj ruku svoju kao beraè u kotarice.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot listen: behold, the word of the LORD is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Kome æu govoriti i svjedoèiti da èuju? Gle, uho im je neobrezano, te ne mogu èuti; gle, rijeè je Gospodnja njima potsmijeh, nije im mila.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out on the children abroad, and on the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
Zato sam pun gnjeva Gospodnjega; iznemogoh ustežuæi ga; prosuæu ga na djecu po ulicama i na sabrane mladiæe, i èovjek i žena uhvatiæe se, i stari i vremeniti.
12 And their houses shall be turned to others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD.
I kuæe æe njihove pripasti drugima, i njive i žene, kad mahnem rukom svojom na stanovnike ove zemlje, veli Gospod.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Jer od maloga do velikoga svi se dadoše na lakomstvo, i prorok i sveštenik, svi su varalice.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
I lijeèe rane kæeri naroda mojega ovlaš, govoreæi: mir, mir; a mira nema.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
Eda li se postidješe što èiniše gad? Niti se postidješe niti znaju za stid; zato æe popadati meðu onima koji padaju; kad ih pohodim, popadaæe, veli Gospod.
16 Thus says the LORD, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Gospod reèe ovako: stanite na putovima i pogledajte, i pitajte za stare staze, koji je put dobar, pa idite po njemu, i naæi æete mir duši svojoj. A oni rekoše: neæemo da idemo.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Listen to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not listen.
I postavih vam stražare govoreæi: pazite na glas trubni. A oni rekoše: neæemo da pazimo.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
Zato èujte, narodi, i poznaj, zbore, što je meðu njima.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
Èuj, zemljo! evo ja æu pustiti zlo na ovaj narod, plod misli njihovijeh, jer ne paze na moje rijeèi, i odbaciše zakon moj.
20 To what purpose comes there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to me.
Što æe mi tamjan, što dolazi iz Save, i dobri cimet iz daleke zemlje? Žrtve vaše paljenice nijesu mi ugodne, niti su mi prinosi vaši mili.
21 Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
Zato ovako govori Gospod: evo ja æu metnuti ovom narodu smetnje, o koje æe se spotaæi i ocevi i sinovi, susjed i prijatelj mu, i poginuæe.
22 Thus says the LORD, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
Ovako govori Gospod: evo narod æe doæi iz zemlje sjeverne, i velik æe narod ustati od krajeva zemaljskih.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, set in array as men for war against you, O daughter of Zion.
Luk i koplje nosiæe, žestoki æe biti i nemilostivi, glas æe im buèati kao more, i jahaæe na konjma, spremni kao junaci da se biju s tobom, kæeri Sionska.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Kad èujemo glas o njemu, klonuæe nam ruke, tuga æe nas spopasti i bolovi kao porodilju.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
Ne izlazite u polje, i putem ne idite, jer je maè neprijateljev i strah unaokolo.
26 O daughter of my people, gird you with sackcloth, and wallow yourself in ashes: make you mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come on us.
Kæeri naroda mojega, pripaši kostrijet i valjaj se u pepelu, žali kao za sinom jedincem i ridaj gorko, jer æe brzo doæi na nas zatiraè.
27 I have set you for a tower and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way.
Postavih te da si stražara i grad narodu mom da doznaješ i izviðaš put njihov.
28 They are all grievous rebels, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
Svi su odmetnici nad odmetnicima, idu te opadaju, mjed su i gvožðe, svi su pokvareni.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melts in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
Izgorješe mjehovi, oganj sažeže olovo, uzalud se pretapa, jer se zla ne mogu odluèiti.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD has rejected them.
Oni æe se zvati srebro lažno, jer ih Gospod odbaci.
