Jeremiah 15
1 And YHWH says to me: “Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.
I reče mi Jahve: “Kad bi i Mojsije i Samuel stali pred lice moje, ne bi mi se duša obratila narodu tome. Otjeraj ih ispred lice mojega, neka idu od mene!
2 And it has come to pass, when they say to you, To where do we go out? That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Those who [are] for death—to death, And those who are for the sword—to the sword, And those who are for famine—to famine, And those who are for captivity—to captivity.
Ako te upitaju: 'Kamo da idemo?' odgovori im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Tko je za smrt, u smrt! Tko je za mač, pod mač! Tko je za glad, u glad! Tko je za izgnanstvo, u izgnanstvo!'
3 And I have appointed four kinds over them,” A declaration of YHWH, “The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the bird of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour.
Poslat ću na njih četiri nevolje - riječ je Jahvina: mač da ih ubija, pse da ih rastrgaju, ptice nebeske i zvjerad da ih žderu i zatiru.
4 And I have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah, For that which he did in Jerusalem.
I učinit ću ih užasom svim kraljevstvima zemaljskim, i to zbog Manašea, sina Ezekijina, kralja judejskoga - za sva zla što ih počini u Jeruzalemu.”
5 For who has pity on you, O Jerusalem? And who bemoans for you? And who turns aside to ask of your welfare?
“Tko da se smiluje tebi, Jeruzaleme, tko da te požali? Tko li će se svratit' da te zapita kako ti je?
6 You have left Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “You go backward, And I stretch out My hand against you, And I destroy you, I have been weary of relenting,
Ti me odbaci - riječ je Jahvina - i leđa mi okrenu. I zato na te digoh ruku zatornicu. Dojadi mi da ti uvijek praštam!
7 And I scatter them with a fan, In the gates of the land, I have bereaved [them], I have destroyed My people, They did not turn back from their ways.
Zato ću ih izvijati vijačom na vratima zemlje ove. Narod svoj ću lišit' djece i istrijebit' ga, jer se ne obraćaju sa svojih putova.
8 Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas, I brought on them—against the mother—A young man—a spoiler—at noon. I caused wrath and trouble to fall on her suddenly.
Bit će u njih više udovica negoli pijeska morskoga. Na majke mladih ratnika dovest ću zatornika, usred podneva, i pustit ću na njih iznenada užas i strahotu.
9 The bearer of seven has languished, She has breathed out her spirit, Her sun has gone in while yet day, It has been ashamed and confounded, And I give up their remnant to the sword before their enemies,” A declaration of YHWH.
Onesvijestila se roditeljka sedmero djece, dušu ispustila. Sunce joj zađe još za dana: postiđena, osramoćena je. A što od njih ostane, pod mač ću vrći pred njihovim dušmanima” - riječ je Jahvina.
10 Woe to me, my mother, For you have borne me, A man of strife and a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me—All of them are reviling me.
Jao meni, majko, što si me rodila, da svađam se i prepirem sa svom zemljom. Nikom ne uzajmih, ni od koga zajma ne uzeh, a ipak svi me proklinju.
11 YHWH said, “Did I not direct you for good? Did I not intercede for you in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?
Uistinu, o Jahve, nisam li ti služio za njihovo dobro, nisam li tražio milost u tebe za neprijatelja svoga, u doba nevolje, u danima tjeskobe njegove? Ti to dobro znaš!
12 Does one break iron, Northern iron and bronze?
Može l' se željezo slomiti, željezo sa Sjevera i mjed?
13 I give your strength and your treasures for a prey—not for price, Even for all your sins, and in all your borders.
Tvoje bogatstvo i blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za sva bezakonja svoja po svoj zemlji.
14 And I have caused your enemies To pass over into the land [that] You have not known, For a fire has been kindled in My anger, It burns against you.”
Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ, jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vas sažgati, koji će protiv vas buknuti.
15 You, You have known, O YHWH, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Your long-suffering do not take me away, Know [that] I have borne reproach for You.
Jahve, spomeni me se i pohodi me i kazni progonitelje moje. Ne daj da propadnem zbog sporosti srdžbe tvoje! Spomeni se da tebe radi podnosim sramotu.
16 Your words have been found, and I eat them, And Your word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Your Name is called on me, O YHWH, God of Hosts.
Kad mi dođoše riječi tvoje, ja sam ih gutao: riječi tvoje ushitiše i obradovaše srce moje. Jer sam se tvojim zvao imenom, o Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama.
17 I have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of your hand—I have sat alone, For You have filled me [with] indignation.
Nikad sjedio nisam u društvu veseljaka da se razveselim. Pod težinom ruke tvoje samotan živim, jer ti me jarošću prože.
18 Why has my pain been continuous? And my wound incurable? It has refused to be healed, You are surely as a failing stream to me, Waters [that are] not steadfast.
Zašto je bol moja bez prebola? Zašto je rana moja neiscjeljiva i nikako da zaraste? Ah! Hoćeš li meni biti kao potok nestalan, vodama nepouzdan?
19 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “If you turn back, then I bring you back, You stand before Me, And if you bring out the precious from the vile, You are as My mouth! They return to you, And you do not return to them.
Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Ako se vratiš, pustit ću te da mi opet služiš; ako odvojiš dragocjeno od bezvrijedna, bit ćeš usta moja. Oni će se okrenuti k tebi, al' ti se zato ne smiješ okrenuti k njima!
20 And I have made you to this people For a wall—bronze—fortified, And they have fought against you, And they do not prevail against you, For I [am] with you to save you, And to deliver you,” A declaration of YHWH,
Učinit ću od tebe za ovaj narod zid od mjedi, neosvojiv. Borit će se protiv tebe, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom, da te spasim i izbavim” - riječ je Jahvina.
21 “And I have delivered you from the hand of evildoers, And I have ransomed you From the hand of the terrible!”
“Izbavit ću te iz ruku zlikovaca i otkupiti te iz ruku silnika.”
