Jeremiah 10
1 You people of Israel, listen to what Yahweh says:
Слушајте реч коју вам говори Господ, доме Израиљев.
2 “Do not act like the people of [other] nations act, and do not be terrified by strange/unusual things that you see in the sky, even though they cause the [people of other] nations to be terrified.
Овако вели Господ: Не учите се путу којим иду народи, и од знака небеских не плашите се, јер се од њих плаше народи.
3 The customs of the people [of other nations] are worthless. [For example], they cut down a tree in the forest. Then a [skilled] worker/craftsman [cuts a section of it and] uses his chisel to carve an idol from that section.
Јер су уредбе у народа таштина, јер секу дрво у шуми, дело руку уметничких секиром;
4 [Then] people decorate the idol with silver and gold. [Then] they fasten it securely with nails in order that it will not topple/fall over.
Сребром и златом украшују га, клинима и чекићима утврђују га да се не помиче;
5 [Then] the idol [stands there] like [SIM] a scarecrow in a field of cucumbers/melons! It cannot speak, and people must carry it, because it cannot walk. Do not be afraid of idols, because they cannot harm [anyone], and they cannot do [anything] good [to help anyone].”
Стоје право као палме, не говоре; треба их носити, јер не могу ићи; не бој их се, јер не могу зла учинити, а не могу ни добра учинити.
6 Yahweh, there is no one like you. You [MTY] are great, and you are very powerful.
Нико није као Ти, Господе; велик си и велико је име Твоје у сили.
7 You are the king of all the nations! Everyone should [RHQ] revere you, because that is what you deserve. Among all the wise people on the earth and in all the kingdoms where they live, (there is no one like you./who can compare with you?)
Ко се не би Тебе бојао, царе над народима! Јер Теби то припада; јер међу свим мудрацима у народа и у свим царствима њиховим нема таквог какав си Ти.
8 Those people who [think that they are] very wise [IRO] are stupid and foolish [DOU]. The idols that they worship are only made of wood! Those idols certainly cannot teach them anything.
Него су сви луди и безумни, дрво је наука о таштини.
9 People hammer into thin sheets silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz, and then they give those sheets of silver and gold to skilled workers/craftsmen to cover the idols. Then they put on those idols expensive purple robes that are made by skilled workers.
Сребро ковано доноси се из Тарсиса и злато из Уфаза, дело уметничко и руку златарских, одело им је од порфире и скерлета, све је дело уметничко.
10 But Yahweh is the [only] true God; he is the all-powerful God, the king [who rules] forever. When he is angry, [all] the earth shakes/quakes; and [the people of] the nations cannot endure [what he does] when he is angry [with them].
А Господ је прави Бог, Бог живи и цар вечни, од Његове срдње тресе се земља, и гнев Његов не могу поднети народи.
11 [You Israeli people], tell this to those people: “Those idols did not make the sky and the earth, and they will disappear from the earth.”
Овако им реците: Богови, који нису начинили небо ни земљу, нестаће са земље и испод неба.
12 But [Yahweh] made the earth by his power; he established it [firmly] by his wisdom and stretched out the sky by his understanding.
Он је начинио земљу силом својом, утврдио васиљену мудрошћу својом, и разумом својим разастро небеса;
13 When he speaks [loudly], there is thunder in the sky; he causes clouds to form over every part of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and releases the winds from his storehouses.
Он кад пусти глас свој, буче воде на небесима, подиже пару с крајева земаљских, пушта муње с даждем, и изводи ветар из стаја његових.
14 People are senseless and know very little [HYP]; those who make idols are always disappointed because their idols do nothing for them. The images/statues that they make are not real [gods]; they are lifeless.
Сваки човек поста безуман од знања, сваки се златар осрамоти ликом резаним, јер су лаж ливени ликови његови, и нема духа у њима.
15 Idols are worthless; they deserve to be ridiculed; there will be a time when they [all] will be destroyed.
Таштина су, дело преварно; кад их походим, погинуће.
16 But the God whom we Israelis worship is not like those idols; he is the one who created everything [that exists]; we, the tribe/people of Israel, belong to him; he is the Commander of the armies of angels.
Није такав део Јаковљев, јер је Творац свему, и Израиљ Му је наследство, име Му је Господ над војскама.
17 [Yahweh says this to the people of Jerusalem]: “The army of your enemies surrounds your city, so gather up your possessions [and prepare] to leave the city.
Покупи из земље трг свој ти, која седиш у граду.
18 I will soon throw you out of this land and cause you to experience great troubles, with the result that you will have severe pain (OR, none of you will be left here).”
Јер овако вели Господ: Гле, ја ћу избацити као праћом становнике ове земље, и притеснићу их да осете.
19 [The people replied, “It is as though] we have been [badly] wounded, and we are very grieved; [It is as though] we have a very serious illness, and we must endure the pain.
Тешко мени од муке моје, рећи ће; љута је рана моја; а ја рекох: То је бол, треба да га подносим.
20 [It is as though] our [great] tent is destroyed; the ropes [that held it up] have been cut; our children have gone away from us and will not return; there are no people left to rebuild our great tent.
Мој је шатор опустошен и сва ужа моја покидана, синови моји отидоше од мене и нема их, нема више никога да разапне шатор мој и дигне завесе моје.
21 Our leaders [MET] no [longer] have any sense; they no [longer] ask Yahweh [to (guide them/tell them what to do)], so they will no [longer] prosper, and all those over whom they rule [MET] will be scattered.
Јер пастири посташе безумни и Господа не тражише; зато не бише срећни, и све се стадо њихово распрша.
22 Listen! [Our enemies’ armies] in the north are making a [very] big noise/commotion [as they march toward us]. The towns in Judah will be destroyed, [and they will become] a place where jackals/wolves live.”
Гле, иде глас и врева велика из северне земље да обрати градове Јудине у пустош, у стан змајевски.
23 Yahweh, I know that no person controls what will happen to him; no one is able to direct the events that he will experience.
Знам, Господе, да пут човечји није у његовој власти нити је човеку који ходи у власти да управља корацима својим.
24 [So] correct/discipline us, but do it gently. Do not correct/punish us when you are angry, because we would die if you did that.
Карај ме, Господе, али с мером, не у гневу свом, да ме не би затро.
25 Punish [MTY] [all] the nations whose people do not acknowledge/say that you are God; punish all the nations whose people do not worship you, because they are completely destroying [DOU] [us people of] Israel and they are causing our land to soon be only a desert.
Излиј гнев свој на народе који Те не познају, и на племена која не призивају име Твоје, јер прождреше Јакова, прождреше га да га нема, и насеље његово опустеше.
