Jeremiah 18
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
2 “Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter’s house, and there I cause you to hear My words”;
Ustani, i siði u kuæu lonèarevu, i ondje æu ti kazati rijeèi svoje.
3 and I go down [to] the potter’s house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones,
Tada siðoh u kuæu lonèarevu, i gle, on raðaše posao na svom kolu.
4 and the vessel that he is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
I pokvari se u ruci lonèaru sud koji graðaše od kala, pa naèini iznova od njega drugi sud, kako bijaše volja lonèaru da naèini.
5 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Tada doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
6 “O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?” A declaration of YHWH. “Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] you in My hand, O house of Israel.
Ne mogu li èiniti od vas kao ovaj lonèar, dome Izrailjev? govori Gospod; gle, što je kao u ruci lonèarevoj, to ste vi u mojoj ruci, dome Izrailjev.
7 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Kad bih rekao za narod i za carstvo da ga istrijebim i razorim i zatrem;
8 And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it.
Ako se obrati narod oda zla, za koje bih rekao, i meni æe biti žao sa zla, koje mišljah da mu uèinim.
9 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
A kad bih rekao za narod i za carstvo da ga sazidam i nasadim;
10 And it has done evil in My eyes, So as not to listen to My voice, Then I have relented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
Ako uèini što je zlo preda mnom ne slušajuæi glasa mojega, i meni æe biti žao dobra koje rekoh da mu uèinim.
11 And now, speak now to men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am framing calamity against you, And devising a scheme against you; Please turn back, each from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.”
Zato sada reci Judejcima i Jerusalimljanima govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod: evo spremam na vas zlo, i mislim misli na vas; vratite se dakle svaki sa svojega puta zloga, i popravite putove svoje i djela svoja.
12 And they have said, “It is incurable, For we go after our own plans, And each of us does the stubbornness of his evil heart.”
A oni rekoše: nema ništa od toga, nego æemo iæi za svojim mislima i èiniæemo svaki po misli srca svojega zloga.
13 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Now ask among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Zato ovako govori Gospod: pitajte po narodima je li ko èuo tako što? grdilo veliko uèini djevojka Izrailjeva.
14 Does snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Will the cold strange [waters] that are flowing be forsaken?
Ostavlja li snijeg Livanski sa stijene moja polja? ostavljaju li se vode studene, koje teku?
15 But My people have forgotten Me, they make incense to a vain thing, And they cause them to stumble in their ways—paths of old, To walk in paths—a way not raised up,
A narod moj mene zaboravi, kadi taštini, i spotièu se na svojim putovima, na starijem stazama, da hode stazama puta neporavnjena,
16 To make their land become a desolation, A continuous hissing, Everyone passing by it is astonished, And bemoans with his head.
Da bih obratio zemlju njihovu u pustoš, na vjeènu sramotu, da se èudi ko god proðe preko nje i maše glavom svojom.
17 I scatter them before an enemy as with an east wind, I show them the neck and not the face, In the day of their calamity.”
Kao ustokom razmetnuæu ih pred neprijateljem; leða a ne lice pokazaæu im u nevolji njihovoj.
18 And they say, “Come, And we devise schemes against Jeremiah, For law does not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we strike him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.”
A oni rekoše: hodite da smislimo što Jeremiji, jer neæe nestati zakona svešteniku ni svjeta mudarcu ni rijeèi proroku; hodite ubijmo ga jezikom i ne pazimo na rijeèi njegove.
19 Give attention, O YHWH, to me, And listen to the voice of those contending with me.
Pazi na me, Gospode, i èuj glas mojih protivnika.
20 Is evil repaid instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before You to speak good of them, To turn back Your wrath from them.
Eda li æe se zlo vratiti za dobro, kad mi kopaju jamu? Opomeni se da sam stajao pred tobom govoreæi za njihovo dobro, da bih odvratio gnjev tvoj od njih.
21 Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men [are] struck by sword in battle,
Zato predaj sinove njihove gladi i uèini da izginu od maèa, i žene njihove da budu sirote i udove, i muževi njihovi da se pogube, mladiæe njihove da pobije maè u boju.
22 A cry is heard from their houses, For You suddenly bring a troop against them, For they dug a pit to capture me, And they have hidden snares for my feet.
Neka se èuje vika iz kuæa njihovijeh, kad dovedeš na njih vojsku iznenada; jer iskopaše jamu da me uhvate, i zamke namjestiše nogama mojim.
23 And You, O YHWH, You have known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, You do not cover over their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from before You, And they are made to stumble before You, Work against them in the time of Your anger!
A ti, Gospode, znaš sve što su naumili meni da me ubiju, nemoj im oprostiti bezakonja ni grijeha njihova izbrisati ispred sebe; nego neka popadaju pred tobom, u gnjevu svom radi suprot njima.
