Jeremiah 6
1 Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem: for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
Skupite se iz Jerusalima, sinovi Venijaminovi, i u Tekuji zatrubite u trubu, i podignite znak ognjen nad Vet-Akeremom, jer se vidi zlo od sjevera i velika pogibao.
2 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
Uèinih kæer Sionsku da je kao lijepa i nježna djevojka.
3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
K njoj æe doæi pastiri sa stadima svojim, razapeæe oko nje šatore, svaki æe opasti svoje mjesto.
4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Spremite rat na nju, ustanite da udarimo u podne. Teško nama, jer dan naže, i sjenke veèernje oduljaše.
5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Ustanite da udarimo obnoæ i razvalimo dvorove njezine.
6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast up a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Jer ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: sijecite drva, i naèinite opkope prema Jerusalimu; to je grad koji treba pohoditi; koliki je god, nasilje je u njemu.
7 As a well casteth forth her waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
Kao što izvor toèi vodu svoju, tako on toèi zloæu svoju; nasilje i otimanje èuje se u njemu, preda mnom su jednako bolovi i rane.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.
Popravi se, Jerusalime, da se ne otrgne duša moja od tebe, da te ne obratim u pustinju, u zemlju gdje se ne živi.
9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: ostatak æe se Izrailjev pabirèiti kao vinova loza. Turaj ruku svoju kao beraè u kotarice.
10 To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Kome æu govoriti i svjedoèiti da èuju? Gle, uho im je neobrezano, te ne mogu èuti; gle, rijeè je Gospodnja njima potsmijeh, nije im mila.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
Zato sam pun gnjeva Gospodnjega; iznemogoh ustežuæi ga; prosuæu ga na djecu po ulicama i na sabrane mladiæe, i èovjek i žena uhvatiæe se, i stari i vremeniti.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
I kuæe æe njihove pripasti drugima, i njive i žene, kad mahnem rukom svojom na stanovnike ove zemlje, veli Gospod.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Jer od maloga do velikoga svi se dadoše na lakomstvo, i prorok i sveštenik, svi su varalice.
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
I lijeèe rane kæeri naroda mojega ovlaš, govoreæi: mir, mir; a mira nema.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Eda li se postidješe što èiniše gad? Niti se postidješe niti znaju za stid; zato æe popadati meðu onima koji padaju; kad ih pohodim, popadaæe, veli Gospod.
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein].
Gospod reèe ovako: stanite na putovima i pogledajte, i pitajte za stare staze, koji je put dobar, pa idite po njemu, i naæi æete mir duši svojoj. A oni rekoše: neæemo da idemo.
17 And I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.
I postavih vam stražare govoreæi: pazite na glas trubni. A oni rekoše: neæemo da pazimo.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
Zato èujte, narodi, i poznaj, zbore, što je meðu njima.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
Èuj, zemljo! evo ja æu pustiti zlo na ovaj narod, plod misli njihovijeh, jer ne paze na moje rijeèi, i odbaciše zakon moj.
20 To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me.
Što æe mi tamjan, što dolazi iz Save, i dobri cimet iz daleke zemlje? Žrtve vaše paljenice nijesu mi ugodne, niti su mi prinosi vaši mili.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people: and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Zato ovako govori Gospod: evo ja æu metnuti ovom narodu smetnje, o koje æe se spotaæi i ocevi i sinovi, susjed i prijatelj mu, i poginuæe.
22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Ovako govori Gospod: evo narod æe doæi iz zemlje sjeverne, i velik æe narod ustati od krajeva zemaljskih.
23 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses; every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
Luk i koplje nosiæe, žestoki æe biti i nemilostivi, glas æe im buèati kao more, i jahaæe na konjma, spremni kao junaci da se biju s tobom, kæeri Sionska.
24 We have heard the fame thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
Kad èujemo glas o njemu, klonuæe nam ruke, tuga æe nas spopasti i bolovi kao porodilju.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, [and] terror on every side.
Ne izlazite u polje, i putem ne idite, jer je maè neprijateljev i strah unaokolo.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
Kæeri naroda mojega, pripaši kostrijet i valjaj se u pepelu, žali kao za sinom jedincem i ridaj gorko, jer æe brzo doæi na nas zatiraè.
27 I have made thee a tower [and] a fortress among my people; that thou mayest know and try their way.
Postavih te da si stražara i grad narodu mom da doznaješ i izviðaš put njihov.
28 They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
Svi su odmetnici nad odmetnicima, idu te opadaju, mjed su i gvožðe, svi su pokvareni.
29 The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
Izgorješe mjehovi, oganj sažeže olovo, uzalud se pretapa, jer se zla ne mogu odluèiti.
30 Refuse silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
Oni æe se zvati srebro lažno, jer ih Gospod odbaci.
