Jeremiah 13

1 Thus says Jehovah to me, "Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water."

Ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi i kupi sebi pojas lanen i opaši se njim, a ne meæi ga u vodu.

2 So I bought a belt according to the word of Jehovah, and put it on my waist.

Tako kupih pojas po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i opasah se njim.

3 The word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying,

Potom doðe mi opet rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

4 "Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."

Uzmi taj pojas što si kupio, što je oko tebe, pa se digni i idi na Efrat, i sakrij ga ondje u kaku rasjelinu kamenu.

5 So I went, and hid it by the Perath, as Jehovah commanded me.

I otidoh i sakrih ga kod Efrata, kako mi zapovjedi Gospod.

6 It happened after many days, that Jehovah said to me, "Arise, go to the Perath, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there."

A poslije mnogo vremena reèe mi Gospod: ustani i idi na Efrat, i uzmi pojas koji ti zapovjedih da sakriješ ondje.

7 Then I went to the Perath, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and look, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

I otidoh na Efrat i otkopah i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio; a gle, pojas otruhnuo, i ne bješe ni za što.

8 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

Tada mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

9 "Thus says Jehovah, 'In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

Ovako veli Gospod: tako æu uèiniti da otruhne ponos Judin i veliki ponos Jerusalimski,

10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.

Toga naroda nevaljaloga, što neæe da sluša mojih rijeèi, što hodi po mislima srca svojega i ide za drugim bogovima služeæi im i klanjajuæi im se; i biæe kao taj pojas, koji nije ni za što.

11 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah,' says Jehovah; 'that they might be my people, for a name, for praise, and for glory. But they would not listen.

Jer kako se pojas pripoji oko èovjeka, tako bijah pripojio oko sebe sav dom Izrailjev i sav dom Judin, veli Gospod, da bi bili moj narod na slavu i hvalu i diku; ali ne poslušaše.

12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word: 'Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, "Every jar shall be filled with wine."' And if they shall say to you, 'Do we not certainly know that every jar shall be filled with wine?'

Zato im reci ovu rijeè: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: svi se mjehovi pune vina. A oni æe reæi: zar ne znamo da se svi mjehovi pune vina?

13 Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Look, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

Tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu napuniti pjanosti sve stanovnike ove zemlje i careve, koji sjede mjesto Davida na prijestolu njegovu, i sveštenike i proroke i sve stanovnike Jerusalimske.

14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them."'"

I razbiæu ih jednoga o drugoga, i oceve i sinove, veli Gospod; neæu požaliti ni poštedjeti niti se smilovati, da ih ne potrem.

15 "Hear, and give ear; do not be proud; for Jehovah has spoken.

Slušajte i èujte, nemojte se ponositi, jer Gospod govori.

16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.

Dajte slavu Gospodu Bogu svojemu dok nije spustio mrak, dokle se nijesu spotakle noge vaše po gorama mraènijem, da èekate svjetlost a on je obrati u sjen smrtni i pretvori u tamu.

17 But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive."

Ako li ovo ne poslušate, duša æe moja plakati tajno radi oholosti vaše i roniti suze, suze æe teæi iz oka mojega, jer æe se zarobiti stado Gospodnje.

18 "Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have come down from your heads.

Reci caru i carici: dolje sjedite, jer æe se slavni vijenac vaš skinuti s vaše glave.

19 The cities toward the Negev are shut, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away into exile, all of it; it is wholly carried away into exile.'"

Gradovi južni zatvoriæe se i neæe biti nikoga da ih otvori, odvešæe se Juda u ropstvo, sasvijem æe se odvesti u ropstvo.

20 "Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?

Podignite oèi svoje i vidite one što idu od sjevera. Gdje je stado što ti je predano, stado slave tvoje?

21 What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?

Šta æeš reæi kad te pohodi? Jer si ih ti nauèio da budu knezovi nad tobom. Neæe li te spopasti bolovi kao ženu kad se poraða?

22 If you say in your heart, 'Why are these things come on me?' for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.

Ako li reèeš u srcu svom: zašto me to zadesi? za mnoštvo bezakonja tvojega uzgrnuæe se skuti tvoji i obuæa ti se skinuti.

23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju ili ris šare svoje? možete li vi èiniti dobro nauèivši se èiniti zlo?

24 'therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.

Zato æu ih razmetnuti kao što razmeæe pljevu vjetar iz pustinje.

25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,' says Jehovah; 'because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

To je dio tvoj i obrok tvoj od mene, govori Gospod, zato što si me zaboravio i pouzdao se u laž.

26 therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.

Zato æu ti ja uzgrnuti skute na lice da se vidi sramota tvoja.

27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem. You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?'"

Preljube tvoje, rzanje tvoje, sramotna kurvarstva tvoja po humovima, po poljima, gadove tvoje vidio sam; teško tebi, Jerusalime! zar se neæeš oèistiti? dokle još?
