Jeremiah 12

1 You [are] righteous, O YHWH, When I plead toward You, Only, let me speak judgments with You, Why did the way of the wicked prosper? All treacherous dealers have been at rest.

Pravedan si, Gospode, ako bih se pravdao s tobom; ali æu progovoriti o sudovima tvojim. Zašto je put bezbožnièki sreæan? zašto žive u miru svi koji èine nevjeru?

2 You have planted them, Indeed, they have taken root, They go on, indeed, they have made fruit, You [are] near in their mouth, And far off from their reins.

Ti ih posadi, i oni se ukorijeniše, rastu i rod raðaju; ti si im blizu usta ali daleko od bubrega.

3 And You, O YHWH, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.

Ali, Gospode, ti me poznaješ, razgledaš me i okušao si srce moje kako je prema tebi; odvuci ih kao ovce na klanje, i pripravi ih za dan kad æe se ubiti.

4 Until when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Beast and bird have been consumed, Because they said, “He does not see our latter end.”

Dokle æe tužiti zemlja, i trava svega polja sahnuti sa zloæe onijeh koji žive u njoj? nesta sve stoke i ptica, jer govore: ne vidi kraja našega.

5 “For you have run with footmen, And they weary you, And how you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident—And how will you do in the rising of Jordan?

Kad si trèao s pješcima pa te umoriše, kako æeš se utrkivati s konjma? i kad ti je tako u zemlji mirnoj, u koju se uzdaš, šta æeš èiniti kad ustane Jordan?

6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they called after you fully, Do not trust in them when they speak good things to you.

Jer i braæa tvoja i dom oca tvojega, i oni te iznevjeriše, i oni vièu za tobom iza glasa. Ne vjeruj im, ako bi ti i prijateljski govorili.

7 I have forsaken My house, I have left My inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.

Ostavih dom svoj, napustih našljedstvo svoje; što bijaše milo duši mojoj, dadoh ga u ruke neprijateljima njegovijem.

8 My inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.

Našljedstvo moje posta mi kao lav u šumi, pušta glas svoj na mene, zato mi omrznu.

9 [Is] My inheritance a speckled bird to Me? Is the bird around against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come for food.

Našljedstvo moje posta mi ptica grabljiva; ptice, sletite se na nju, skupite se svi zvjerovi poljski, hodite da jedete.

10 Many shepherds destroyed My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness—a desolation.

Pastiri mnogi pokvariæe moj vinograd, potlaèiæe dio moj, mili dio moj obratiæe u golu pustoš.

11 He has made it become a desolation, The desolation has mourned to Me, All the land has been desolated, But there is no one laying it to heart.

Obratiæe ga u pustoš, opustošen plakaæe preda mnom; sva æe ta zemlja opustjeti, jer niko ne uzima na um.

12 Spoilers have come in on all high places in the plain, For the sword of YHWH is consuming, From the end of the land even to the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.

Na sva visoka mjesta po pustinji doæi æe zatiraèi; jer æe maè Gospodnji proždirati od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga, neæe biti mira nijednom tijelu.

13 They sowed wheat, and have reaped thorns, They have become sick—they do not profit, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.”

Sijaæe pšenicu, a trnje æe žeti; muèiæe se, a koristi neæe imati, i stidjeæe se ljetine svoje, sa žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.

14 Thus said YHWH: “Concerning all My evil neighbors, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused My people—Israel—to inherit: Behold, I am plucking them from off their ground, And I pluck the house of Judah out of their midst.

Ovako govori Gospod za sve zle susjede moje, koji diraju našljedstvo što dadoh narodu svojemu Izrailju: evo, ja æu ih poèupati iz zemlje njihove, i dom Judin išèupaæu isred njih.

15 And it has been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.

A kad ih išèupam, opet æu se smilovati na njih, i dovešæu opet svakoga njih na našljedstvo njegovo i svakoga u zemlju njegovu.

16 And it has come to pass, If they learn the ways of My people well, To swear by My Name, YHWH lives, As they taught My people to swear by Ba‘al, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.

I ako dobro nauèe putove naroda mojega, da se zaklinju mojim imenom: tako da je živ Gospod! kao što su oni uèili moj narod da se kune Valom, tada æe se sazidati usred naroda mojega.

17 And if they do not listen, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying,” A declaration of YHWH!

Ako li ne poslušaju, tada æu išèupati sasvijem taki narod i zatrti, govori Gospod.
