Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word, O house of Israel, That YHWH has spoken for you.
Slušajte rijeè koju vam govori Gospod, dome Izrailjev.
2 Thus said YHWH: “Do not accustom yourselves to the way of the nations, And do not be frightened by the signs of the heavens, For the nations are frightened by them.
Ovako veli Gospod: ne uèite se putu kojim idu narodi, i od znaka nebeskih ne plašite se, jer se od njih plaše narodi.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For one has cut a tree from a forest, Work of the hands of a craftsman, with an axe,
Jer su uredbe u naroda taština, jer sijeku drvo u šumi, djelo ruku umjetnièkih sjekirom;
4 They beautify it with silver and with gold, They fix it with nails and with hammers, And it does not stumble.
Srebrom i zlatom ukrašuju ga, klinima i èekiæima utvrðuju ga da se ne pomièe;
5 They [are] stiff as a palm, and they do not speak, They are surely carried, for they do not step, Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, Indeed, to do good is also not in them.”
Stoje pravo kao palme, ne govore; treba ih nositi, jer ne mogu iæi; ne boj ih se, jer ne mogu zla uèiniti, a ne mogu ni dobra uèiniti.
6 Because there is none like You, O YHWH, You [are] great, and Your Name [is] great in might.
Niko nije kao ti, Gospode; velik si i veliko je ime tvoje u sili.
7 Who does not fear You, King of the nations? For it is befitting to You, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom, there is none like You.
Ko se ne bi tebe bojao, care nad narodima! jer tebi to pripada; jer meðu svijem mudarcima u naroda i u svijem carstvima njihovijem nema takoga kakav si ti.
8 And as one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
Nego su svi ludi i bezumni, drvo je nauka o taštini.
9 Spread-out silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Their clothing [is] blue and purple, Work of the skillful—all of them.
Srebro kovano donosi se iz Tarsisa i zlato iz Ufaza, djelo umjetnièko i ruku zlatarskih, odijelo im je od porfire i skerleta, sve je djelo umjetnièko.
10 And YHWH [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a perpetual King, The earth shakes from His wrath, And nations do not endure His indignation.
A Gospod je pravi Bog, Bog živi i car vjeèni, od njegove srdnje trese se zemlja, i gnjeva njegova ne mogu podnijeti narodi.
11 Thus you say to them, “The gods who have not made the heavens and earth, They perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.”
Ovako im recite: bogova, koji nijesu naèinili neba ni zemlje, nestaæe sa zemlje i ispod neba.
12 The Maker of the earth by His power, The Establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens—
On je naèinio zemlju silom svojom, utvrdio vasiljenu mudrošæu svojom, i razumom svojim razastro nebesa;
13 When He gives forth His voice, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And brings out wind from His treasures.
On kad pusti glas svoj, buèe vode na nebesima, podiže paru s krajeva zemaljskih, pušta munje s daždem, i izvodi vjetar iz staja njegovijeh.
14 Every man is brutish by knowledge, Every refiner is put to shame by a carved image, For his molten image [is] false. And there is no breath in them.
Svaki èovjek posta bezuman od znanja, svaki se zlatar osramoti likom rezanijem, jer su laž liveni likovi njegovi, i nema duha u njima.
15 They [are] vanity, work of erring ones, They perish in the time of their inspection.
Taština su, djelo prijevarno; kad ih pohodim, poginuæe.
16 The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He [is] the Framer of all things, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Nije taki dio Jakovljev, jer je tvorac svemu, i Izrailj mu je našljedstvo, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama.
17 Gather your merchandise from the land, O dweller in the bulwark,
Pokupi iz zemlje trg svoj ti, koja sjediš u gradu.
18 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.”
Jer ovako veli Gospod: gle, ja æu izbaciti kao praæom stanovnike ove zemlje, i pritijesniæu ih da osjete.
19 Woe to me for my breaking, My striking has been grievous, And I said, “Surely this [is] my sickness, and I bear it.”
Teško meni od muke moje, reæi æe; ljuta je rana moja; a ja rekoh: to je bol, treba da ga podnosim.
20 My tent has been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out my tent anymore, And raising up my curtains.
Moj je šator opustošen i sva uža moja pokidana, sinovi moji otidoše od mene i nema ih, nema više nikoga da razapne šator moj i digne zavjese moje.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, And they have not sought YHWH, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
Jer pastiri postaše bezumni i Gospoda ne tražiše; zato ne biše sreæni, i sve se stado njihovo rasprša.
22 A voice of a report, behold, it has come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
Gle, ide glas i vreva velika iz sjeverne zemlje da obrati gradove Judine u pustoš, u stan zmajevski.
23 I have known, O YHWH, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man [is] the going and establishing of his step.
Znam, Gospode, da put èovjeèji nije u njegovoj vlasti niti je èovjeku koji hodi u vlasti da upravlja koracima svojim.
24 Discipline me, O YHWH, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small.
Karaj me, Gospode, ali s mjerom, ne u gnjevu svom, da me ne bi zatro.
25 Pour out Your fury on the nations that have not known You, And on the families that have not called on Your Name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Indeed, they have eaten him up, indeed, they consume him, And they have made his habitation desolate!
Izlij gnjev svoj na narode koji te ne poznaju, i na plemena koja ne prizivlju imena tvojega, jer proždriješe Jakova, proždriješe ga da ga nema, i naselje njegovo opustiše.
