Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, izvadiæe se iz grobova kosti careva Judinijeh i kosti knezova njegovijeh i kosti sveštenièke i kosti proroèke, i kosti stanovnika Jerusalimskih;
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.
I razmetnuæe se prema suncu i mjesecu i svoj vojsci nebeskoj, koje ljubiše i kojima služiše i za kojima idoše i koje tražiše i kojima se klanjaše; neæe se pokupiti ni pogrepsti, nego æe biti gnoj po zemlji.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
I voljeæe smrt nego život sav ostatak što ih ostane od ovoga roda zloga, što ih ostane po svijem mjestima kuda ih raždenem, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
4 Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
Još im reci: ovako veli Gospod: ko padne, ne ustaje li? ko zaðe, ne vraæa li se?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Zašto je zašao taj narod Jerusalimski zasvagda? Drže se prijevare, neæe da se obrate.
6 I listened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
Pazio sam i slušao, ne govore pravo, nema nikoga da se kaje za zlo svoje, da reèe: što uèinih? Svaki je okrenuo svojim trkom, kao konj kad nagne u boj.
7 Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
I roda pod nebom zna svoje vrijeme, grlica i ždrao i lasta paze na vrijeme kad dolaze; a narod moj ne zna suda Gospodnjega.
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? See, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
Kako govorite: mudri smo, i zakon je Gospodnji u nas? Doista, gle, laž uèini lažljiva pisaljka književnièka.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: see, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Mudarci se osramotiše, uplašiše se i uhvatiše se; eto, odbaciše rijeè Gospodnju, pa kaka im je mudrost?
10 Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Zato æu dati žene njihove drugima, njive njihove onima koji æe ih naslijediti, jer od maloga do velikoga svi se dadoše na lakomstvo, i proroci i sveštenici, svi su varalice.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jer lijeèe rane kæeri naroda mojega ovlaš govoreæi: mir, mir; a mira nema.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation 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.
13 I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
Sasvijem æu ih istrijebiti, govori Gospod, nema grozda na lozi, ni smokve na drvetu, i lišæe je opalo; i što sam im dao uzeæe im se.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defended cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Što stojimo? skupite se i uðimo u tvrde gradove, i ondje muèimo; jer nas je Gospod Bog naš umuèkao napojivši nas žuèi, jer zgriješismo Gospodu.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
Èekasmo mir, ali nema dobra; i vrijeme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
Od Dana èu se frkanje konja njegovijeh, od rzanja pastuha njegovijeh sva se zemlja zatrese, doðoše i pojedoše zemlju i sve što bješe u njoj, gradove i koji življahu u njima.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
Jer, evo, ja æu pustiti na vas zmije, aspide, od kojih nema bajanja, te æe vas ujedati, govori Gospod.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
Okrijepio bih se u žalosti, ali je srce u meni iznemoglo.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
Eto vike kæeri naroda mojega iz daljne zemlje: zar Gospod nije u Sionu? car njegov zar nije u njemu? Zašto me razgnjeviše svojim likovima rezanijem, tuðim taštinama?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Žetva je prošla, ljeto minulo, a mi se ne izbavismo.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
Satrven sam što je kæi naroda mojega satrvena, u žalosti sam, èudo osvoji me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Nema li balsama u Galadu? nema li ondje ljekara? zašto se dakle ne iscijeli kæi naroda mojega?
