Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says the LORD, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
“U ono vrijeme - riječ je Jahvina - povadit će iz grobova kosti kraljeva judejskih, kosti knezova njezinih, kosti svećenika, kosti proroka i kosti žitelja jeruzalemskih.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
I razasut će ih prema suncu, prema mjesecu i prema svoj vojsci nebeskoj, koje ljubljahu, kojima služahu, koje slijeđahu, koje za savjet pitahu i kojima se klanjahu. I neće ih pokupiti i sahraniti; ostat će kao gnoj po zemlji.
3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says the LORD of hosts.
Tada će svima onima što preostanu od tih zlih plemena, po svim mjestima kuda ih rasprših, smrt biti milija od života” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
“Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Padne li tko, neće li opet ustati, zaluta li, neće li se opet vratiti?
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Zašto onda taj narod luta uporno i neprekidno? Čvrsto se drže laži, neće da se obrate.
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Pazio sam i osluškivao: Ne govore kako valja. Nitko se ne kaje zbog pakosti svoje, i ne govori 'Što učinih?' Svatko je skrenuo trku svoju kao konj kad u boj nagne.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know the LORD's law.
Čak i roda pod nebom zna svoje vrijeme, grlica, lastavica i ždral drže se vremena kad se moraju vratiti. A moj narod ne poznaje suda Jahvina.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
Kako možete tvrditi: 'Mi smo mudri, u nas je Zakon Jahvin!' Zaista, u laž ga je pretvorila lažljiva pisaljka pisara!
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
Mudraci će biti osramoćeni, prestravljeni i uhvaćeni u zamku. Gle, oni prezreše riječ Jahvinu! A njihova mudrost - što im koristi?
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Zato ću žene njihove dati strancima, a vaša polja osvajačima. Jer od najmanjeg do najvećega svi gramze za plijenom, od proroka do svećenika svi su varalice.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
I olako liječe ranu naroda mojega vičući: 'Mir! Mir!' Ali mira nema.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
Neka se postide što gnusobu počiniše, no oni više ne znaju što je stid, ne umiju se više crvenjeti. Zato će popadati s onima što padaju, srušit će se kad stanem kažnjavati” - govori Jahve.
13 I will utterly consume them, says the LORD: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
“Htjedoh u berbu k njima - riječ je Jahvina - a ono ni grozda na trsu, ni smokve na smokvi; čak je i lišće uvelo. Zato ih predah onima što prolaze kraj njih.
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
'Zašto još čekamo? Na okup! Zavucimo se u tvrde gradove da ondje izginemo, jer nas Jahve, Bog naš, zatire, napaja nas vodom otrovanom, jer zgriješismo protiv Jahve.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
Nadasmo se miru, ali dobra nema, čekasmo vrijeme ozdravljenja, al' evo užasa!
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
Iz Dana dopire njištanje konja njegovih, od rzanja njegovih pastuha dršće zemlja sva. Dolaze da proždru zemlju i što je napunja, grad i žitelje u njemu.'
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says the LORD.
I gle, puštam na vas otrovnice protiv kojih nema čarolija; ujedat će vas - riječ je Jahvina -
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
lijeka biti neće.” Bol me spopada, srce mi iznemoglo.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't the LORD in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
Evo zapomažu kćeri naroda moga iz zemlje daleke: “Zar Jahve nije više na Sionu? Kralj njegov? Zašto me razjariše svojim kipovima, ništavilima tuđinskim?
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
Žetva prođe, minu ljeto, a mi nismo spašeni!”
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Satrven sam što je kći naroda mojega satrvena, žalostan sam, stravom obuzet.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Zar u Gileadu nema balzama? Nema li ondje liječnika? TÓa zašto ne dolazi ozdravljenje kćeri naroda mojega?
