Jeremiah 9
1 Who makes my head waters, And my eye a fountain of tears? And I weep by day and by night, For the wounded of the daughter of my people.
O, tko bi glavu moju pretvorio u vrelo, a oči moje u vrutak suza, danju i noću da plačem nad poginulima kćeri svoje, naroda svojega!
2 Who gives me in a wilderness A lodging-place for travelers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of them [are] adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones.
“Da imam u pustinji obitavalište, ostavio bih narod svoj i daleko od njih otišao. Jer svi su oni preljubnici, rulja izdajnička.
3 “And they bend their tongue, Their bow [is] a lie, And they have not been mighty for steadfastness in the land, For they have gone forth from evil to evil, And they have not known Me,” A declaration of YHWH!
Kao luk napinju jezik, laž, a ne istina, prevladava na zemlji. Iz zla u zlo srljaju, mene ne poznaju” - riječ je Jahvina!
4 “You each beware of his friend, And do not trust any brother, For every brother utterly supplants, For every friend slanderously walks,
“Nek se svatko čuva prijatelja, a brat bratu neka ne vjeruje, jer brat svaki nasljeduje Jakova, a svaki prijatelj raznosi klevete.
5 And they each mock at his friend, And they do not speak truth, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, They have labored to commit iniquity.
Jedan drugoga varaju, istine ne govore, privikoše jezik da govori laži; izopačeni, ne mogu se više
6 Your dwelling [is] in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
vratiti. Nasilje na nasilje! Prijevara za prijevarom! Neće da spoznaju mene” - riječ je Jahvina.
7 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I deal with the daughter of My people?
Stog ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Evo, pretopit ću ih i ispitati, tÓa kako da i postupaju prema kćeri naroda moga?
8 Their tongue [is] a slaughtering arrow, It has spoken deceit in its mouth, It speaks peace with its neighbor, And in its heart it lays its ambush,
Jezik im je strijela ubojita, na ustima riječ prijevarna. 'Mir s tobom', pozdravljaju bližnjega, ali mu u srcu zamku spremaju.
9 Do I not see after them for these things?” A declaration of YHWH, “Does My soul not avenge itself against a nation such as this?”
Pa da ih zbog toga ne kaznim - riječ je Jahvina - narodu takvu da se ne osvetim?”
10 I lift up weeping and wailing for the mountains, And a lamentation for the habitations of the wilderness, For they have been burned up without any passing over, Nor have they heard the voice of livestock, From the bird of the heavens and to the beast—they have fled, They have gone.
“Zaplačite, tugujte nad brdima, nad ispašama pustinjskim naričite! Jer izgorješe, nitko ne prolazi, glas stada više se ne čuje. Od ptice nebeske do stoke sve pobježe, svega nestade.
11 “And I make Jerusalem become heaps, A habitation of dragons, And I make the cities of Judah a desolation, Without inhabitant.”
Od Jeruzalema učinit ću gomilu kamenja, brlog čagaljski, gradove judejske pretvorit ću u pustoš gdje nitko ne stanuje.”
12 Who [is] the wise man? And he understands this, And he to whom the mouth of YHWH spoke? And he declares it, For why has the land perished? It has been burned up as a wilderness, Without any passing through.
Tko je mudar da bi to razumio, kome su usta Jahvina govorila da objavi zašto zemlja izgorje kao pustinja i nitko njome više ne prolazi?
13 And YHWH says: “Because of their forsaking My law that I set before them, And they have not listened to My voice nor walked in it,
I reče Jahve: “Jer ostaviše Zakon moj koji im dadoh i jer ne slušahu glasa mojega, niti ga slijeđahu,
14 And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Ba‘alim, That their fathers taught them,”
nego slijeđahu okorjelo srce svoje i baale kojima ih oci njihovi naučiše,
15 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing them—this people—to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,
ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: Evo, nahranit ću narod ovaj pelinom i napojiti ga vodom zatrovanom.
16 And I have scattered them among nations Which they did not know, they and their fathers, And have sent the sword after them, Until I have consumed them.”
I raspršit ću ih među narode kojih ne poznavahu oni ni oci njihovi. A za njima ću poslati mač da ih zatre.” Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama:
17 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Consider, and call for mourning women, And they come, And send to the wise women, And they come,
“Pazite! Pozovite narikače! Neka dođu! Pošaljite po najvještije! Neka dođu!
18 And they hurry, and lift up a wailing for us. And tears run down our eyes, And waters flow from our eyelids.
Neka pohite da zapjevaju tužbalicu nad nama! Da suze poteku iz očiju naših, da voda poteče s trepavica naših!
19 For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How we have been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our dwelling places.”
Sa Siona dopire tužbalica: 'O, kako smo upropašteni, osramoćeni veoma! Jer moramo zemlju ostaviti i stanove svoje napustiti.'”
20 But hear, you women, a word of YHWH, And your ear receives a word of His mouth, And teach your daughters wailing, And each her neighbor lamentation.
I zato, o žene, čujte riječ Jahvinu, i neka uho vaše primi riječ iz usta njegovih. Učite kćeri svoje jadati, jedna drugu naricati:
21 For death has come up into our windows, It has come into our palaces, To cut off the suckling from outside, Young men from the broad places.
“Smrt se ušulja kroz prozore naše, uđe u dvore naše, djecu pokosi nasred ulice, mladiće nasred trgova.
22 Speak thus, “A declaration of YHWH, And the carcass of man has fallen, As dung on the face of the field, And as a handful after the reaper, And there is none gathering.”
I mrtva tjelesa leže kao gnoj po oranicama, kao snoplje za žeteocem, a nikoga da ih skupi.”
23 Thus said YHWH: “Do not let the wise boast himself in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Do not let the rich boast himself in his riches,
Ovako govori Jahve: “Mudri neka se ne hvale mudrošću, ni junak neka se ne hvali hrabrošću, ni bogati neka se ne hvali bogatstvom.
24 But let the boaster boast himself in this, In understanding and knowing Me, For I [am] YHWH, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For I have delighted in these,” A declaration of YHWH.
A tko se hvaliti hoće, neka se hvali time što ima mudrost da mene spozna. Jer ja sam Jahve koji tvori dobrotu, pravo i pravdu na zemlji, jer to mi je milo” - riječ je Jahvina.
25 “Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have laid a charge on all circumcised in the foreskin,
“Evo, bliže se dani” - riječ je Jahvina - “kaznit ću sve koji su obrezani na tijelu:
26 On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, And on the sons of Ammon, and on Moab, And on all cutting the corner [of the beard], Who are dwelling in the wilderness, For all the nations [are] uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in heart!”
Egipat, Judeju, Edom, sinove Amonove i Moab i sve one što briju zaliske i prebivaju u pustinji. Jer svi su ti narodi neobrezani i sav dom Izraelov neobrezana je srca!”
