Lamentations 4
1 How! it is dimmed gold it is changed the gold fine they lie scattered stones of holiness at [the] head of all [the] streets.
Jao, potamnje zlato, to suho zlato! Sveto se kamenje prosu na uglovima svih ulica.
2 [the] children of Zion precious who were weighed with pure gold how! they are considered to jars of earthenware [the] work of [the] hands of a potter.
Sinovi sionski, nekoć cijenjeni kao najčišće zlato, ah, sada ih cijene kao sudove glinske, kao djelo ruku lončarevih!
3 Also (jackals *Q(K)*) they draw out a breast they suckle young their [the] daughter of people my [has become] cruel (like ostriches *Q(K)*) in the wilderness.
Čak i šakali pružaju dojke i doje mladunčad, ali kćeri naroda moga postaše okrutne kao nojevi u pustinji.
4 It has cleaved [the] tongue of a suckling-child to (palate its *L(abh)*) by thirst children they have asked for bread [one who] breaks [it] not [belonged] to them.
Jezik dojenčeta za nepce se lijepi od žeđi. Djeca vape za kruhom, a nikog da im ga pruži.
5 The [ones] eating delicacies they are desolate in the streets the [ones] brought up on crimson they have embraced ash heaps.
Oni što se nekoć sladiše biranim jelima ginu po ulicama; nekoć nošeni u grimizu, sada se valjaju po buništu.
6 And it has become great [the] iniquity of [the] daughter of people my more than [the] sin of Sodom which was overthrown like a moment and not they twisted on it hands.
Veći bijaše zločin Kćeri naroda moga od grijeha Sodome, što u tren oka bi razorena, a ničija se ruka ne diže na nju.
7 They were bright ones of high rank its more than snow they were dazzling more than milk they were red bone more than corals [was] sapphire polishing their.
Njeni mladići bijahu nekoć čišći od snijega, bjelji od mlijeka, od koralja rumenija bijahu im tijela, lice glatko k'o safir.
8 It is dark more than soot appearance their not they are recognized in the streets it has shriveled skin their on bone their dry it has become like wood.
Sad im je obraz crnji od čađe, ne prepoznaju se više na ulici. Koža im se lijepi za kosti, suha kao drvo.
9 Good they are [those] slain of a sword more than [those] slain of hunger who they they flow away pierced through from [the] produce of [the] field.
Kako su sretni oni što ih mač probode, sretniji od onih koje pomori glad; koji padaju, iscrpljeni, jer im nedostaju plodovi zemljini.
10 [the] hands of Women compassionate they have boiled own children their they have been for eating for them in [the] brokenness of [the] daughter of people my.
Žene, tako nježne, kuhaše djecu svoju, njima se hraniše za propasti Kćeri naroda moga.
11 He has completed Yahweh rage his he has poured out [the] burning of anger his and he has kindled a fire in Zion and it has consumed foundations its.
Jahve je utolio svoj bijes, izlio jarosnu srdžbu svoju, na Sionu raspirio požar što sažiže i same temelje njegove.
12 Not they believed [the] kings of [the] earth (all *Q(K)*) [the] inhabitants of [the] world that he will go opponent and enemy in [the] gates of Jerusalem.
Nisu vjerovali kraljevi zemaljski ni svekoliko stanovništvo zemlje da će ugnjetač i neprijatelj ući na vrata jeruzalemska -
13 From [the] sins of prophets its [the] iniquities of priests its who shed in midst its [the] blood of righteous [people].
zbog grijeha svojih prorokÄa, zbog bezakonja svećenikÄa koji usred grada prolijevahu krv pravednikÄa!
14 They wandered blind [people] in the streets they were defiled by the blood in not people were able people touched clothes their.
K'o slijepi teturahu ulicama, omašteni krvlju, te nitko nije smio da se takne odjeće njihove.
15 Depart unclean people called out to them depart depart may not you touch for they fled also they wandered people said among the nations not they will increase to sojourn.
“Natrag, nečisti!” - viču im. “Natrag! Ne dirajte!” I tada pobjegoše poganima, al' ne smjedoše ondje ostati.
16 [the] presence of Yahweh it scattered them not he will repeat to pay attention to them [the] face of priests not they lifted up (and elders *Q(K)*) not they showed favor to.
Raspršilo ih lice Jahvino, on ih više nije gledao. Ne poštuju više svećenikÄa, ne sažaljuju staraca.
17 (Yet we *Q(K)*) they failed eyes our to help our futility in watchtower our we watched to a nation [which] not it will save.
Već nam oči iščilješe iščekujući pomoć, ali uzalud; s kula naših zureć' u daljinu očekivasmo narod koji nas ne može spasiti.
18 They hunted steps our from walking in open places our it drew near end our they were completed days our for it had come end our.
Vrebaju nam na korake da ne hodamo po trgovima svojim. Bliži nam se kraj, navršili nam se dani, naš konac dolazi.
19 Swift they were pursuers our more than [the] eagles of heaven on the mountains they hotly pursued us in the wilderness they lay in wait for us.
Naši gonitelji bijahu brži od orlova na nebu; u planini nas ganjahu, u pustinji dočekivahu u zasjedi.
20 [the] breath of Nostrils our [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh he was captured in pits their whom we had said in shadow his we will live among the nations.
Naš životni dah, Jahvin pomazanik, pade u njihove jame - on za koga govorasmo: “U sjeni njegovoj živjet ćemo među narodima.”
21 Exult and rejoice O daughter of Edom ([who] dwells *Q(K)*) in [the] land of Uz also to you it will pass on a cup you will become drunk and you may strip yourself naked.
Raduj se i veseli se, Kćeri edomska, ti koja živiš u zemlji Usu: doći će i do tebe čaša, opit ćeš se i razgoliti.
22 It will finish iniquity your O daughter of Zion not he will increase to take into exile you he will punish iniquity your O daughter of Edom he will make known on sins your.
Tvoj grijeh je iskupljen, Kćeri sionska, neće te više u izgnanstvo voditi. Kaznit će opačinu tvoju, Kćeri edomska, razotkriti grijehe tvoje.
