Jeremiah 2
1 Yahweh gave me another message
Опет ми дође реч Господња говорећи:
2 [to proclaim to everyone in Jerusalem. He said that I should tell them this] [MET]: “I, Yahweh, remember that you very much wanted to please me [long ago]. [You tried to please me like] a bride [tries to please her husband]; You loved me, and you followed me through the desert [DOU].
Иди и вичи Јерусалиму да чује и говори: Овако вели Господ: Опомињем те се по милости у младости твојој и по љубави о веридби твојој, кад иђаше за мном по пустињи, и по земљи где се не сеје.
3 [At that time you] Israelis (were set apart/belonged only) to me; [you belonged to me like] the first part of the harvests belong to me [MET]. I promised to punish all those who harmed you, my people, and truly I did send disasters on them. [That happened because I], Yahweh, said [that it would happen].”
Израиљ беше светиња Господу и првина од родова Његових; који је јеђаху сви беху криви, зло долажаше на њих, вели Господ.
4 So, you [descendants of] [MTY] Jacob, all you people of [MTY] Israel,
Чујте реч Господњу, доме Јаковљев и све породице дома Израиљевог.
5 listen to what Yahweh says: “(What sin did I commit [RHQ] that caused your ancestors to turn far away from me?/Though your ancestors found no fault in me, they turned far away from me.) They worshiped worthless idols, and they themselves became worthless.
Овако вели Господ: Какву неправду нађоше оци ваши у мене, те одступише од мене, и присташе за ништавилом, и посташе ништави?
6 They did not say, ‘Yahweh brought us [safely] out of Egypt, and he led us through a desert where there were a lot of pits; he led us where there was no water and where it was very dangerous, through a land where no one lives, and no one even travels. (So where is Yahweh now?/So he should be helping us now!) [RHQ]’
И не рекоше: Где је Господ који нас је извео из земље мисирске, који нас је водио по пустињи, по земљи пустој и пуној пропасти, по земљи сувој и где је сен смртни, по земљи преко које нико није ходио и у којој нико није живео?
7 And when I brought you into a very fertile land, in order that you could enjoy [all] the fruit and [other] good things that you would harvest, you caused the land that I promised to give to you to be unfit for me and to become disgusting/detestable to me.
И кад вас доведох у земљу родну да једете род њен и добра њена, дошавши оскврнисте земљу моју и од наследства мог начинисте гад.
8 [Your] priests also did not say, ‘(Where is Yahweh now?/Yahweh should be helping us now!)’ [RHQ] Those who teach/explain my laws do not [want to] know me, and [your] leaders have rebelled against me. [Your] prophets gave you messages from [their god] Baal, and they worship worthless idols.”
Свештеници не рекоше: Где је Господ? И који се баве законом не познаше ме, и пастири одусташе ме, и пророци пророковаше Валом и идоше за стварима залудним.
9 “So, I will accuse you in court. [In future years], I will say what your children and your grandchildren have done that is wrong. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].
За то ћу се још прети с вама, вели Господ, и са синовима синова ваших прећу се.
10 If you go [west] to the island of Cyprus, or if you go [east] to Kedar [land, ] and if you ask people in those places, they will tell you that no people [from their countries] have ever done the wicked things that you people have done!
Јер прођите острва китимска и видите и пошљите у Кидар, и разгледајте добро, и видите, је ли било такво шта:
11 The people of no other nation have ever [RHQ] abandoned their gods that they thought were glorious and started to worship gods that are not really gods, but you people have abandoned me, your glorious God, and are worshiping gods that are useless.
Је ли који народ променио богове, ако и нису богови? А мој народ промени славу своју на ствар залудну.
12 [It is as though everything in] the sky is surprised and dismayed/appalled [about what you have done]; [it is as though] they tremble because they are very horrified.
Чудите се томе, небеса, и згрозите се и упропастите се! Вели Господ.
13 [You], my people, have done two evil things: You have rejected me, the one who is [like] [MET] a fountain [where you can obtain] fresh water, and you [are worshiping gods that are like] [MET] pits in the ground that are cracked and which are not able to hold any water.
Јер два зла учини мој народ: оставише мене, извор живе воде, и ископаше себи студенце, студенце испроваљиване, који не могу да држе воде.
14 You Israeli people, you were certainly not [RHQ] slaves when you were born; you were captured [by your enemies].
Је ли Израиљ роб? Је ли роб у кући рођен? Зашто поста грабеж?
15 [Your enemies] [MET] roared [like] lions, and they destroyed your land. [Now] your towns have been burned, and no one lives in them.
Рикаше на њ лавићи и дизаше глас свој, и обратише земљу његову у пустош; градови су му попаљени, те нема никога да живи у њима.
16 Soldiers from Memphis and Tahpenes, [cities in Egypt], have [defeated you] [and] shaved your heads [to show that you are their slaves].
И синови нофски и тафнески опасоше ти теме.
17 But it is [RHQ] because you abandoned [me], Yahweh, that these disasters have happened to you.
Ниси ли то сам себи учинио оставивши Господа Бога свог кад те вођаше путем?
18 So (why are you trying to make an alliance with [MET] the rulers of Egypt?/it certainly will not help you to make an alliance with the rulers of Egypt) [RHQ]. Why are you trying to make an alliance with [MET] the rulers of Assyria who live near the [Euphrates] River?
А сада шта ће ти пут мисирски да пијеш воде сиорске? Шта ли ће ти пут асирски да пијеш воде из реке?
19 [It is because] you have been [very] wicked that I [PRS] will punish you. It is because you have turned away from me that I [PRS] will condemn you. [When I do that], you will realize that painful and evil [DOU] things will happen to you because you have forsaken [me], Yahweh, your God, and you no [longer] revere me. [That will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, have said it.
Твоја ће те злоћа покарати и твоје ће те одметање прекорити. Познај дакле и види да је зло и горко што си оставио Господа Бога свог и што нема страха мог у теби, вели Господ Господ над војскама.
20 Long ago, you stopped obeying [me] [MET], and you would not allow [me] to lead you [MET]; you refused to worship [me]. Instead, you worship idols that are under trees on the top of every hill, and your young women have sex with [EUP] [men at those places].
Јер давно изломих јарам твој и раскидох свезе твоје, и ти рече: Нећу бити слуга; а на сваки високи хум и под свако зелено дрво идеш да се курваш.
21 [It is as though] [MET] you were a grapevine that I planted when it was a cutting from a very good vine. So now it is disgusting that [RHQ] you have become [like] a rotten worthless vine.
Ја те посадих, лозу изабрану, све семе истинито; па како ми се промени и изметну се одвода од туђе лозе?
22 Your guilt from your sins is like [MET] very bad stains on a cloth, and you cannot get rid of those stains even by using very strong soap. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Да се измијеш салитром и узмеш много сапуна, опет ће се познавати безакоње твоје преда мном, вели Господ Господ.
23 You say that you have not sinned. You say ‘We have not become unacceptable to God; we have not worshiped Baal.’ But think about [the disgusting things that you do very eagerly] in [Hinnom] Valley [outside Jerusalem]. You are like desperate female camels, running here and there [to find male camels to have sex with].
Како можеш рећи: Нисам се оскврнио, нисам ишао за Валима? Погледај пут свој по долу; познај шта си учинила, брза камило, која остављаш знаке на својим путевима.
24 You are [like] wild female donkeys in the desert. They sniff the air to find where the male donkeys are, and no one can [RHQ] restrain them. The male donkeys that want them do not become tired searching for them, because at mating time they find them [easily].
Као дивља магарица, која је навикла на пустињу и по жељи душе своје вуче у се ветар, кад навали, ко ће је вратити? Који је траже неће се уморити, наћи ће је у месецу њеном.
25 You constantly run here and there [to find idols to worship], with the result that your sandals are worn out, and your throats have become dry. [I told you to stop doing that], but you said, ‘We cannot stop, because we love foreign gods, and we must worship them.’”
Чувај ногу своју, да није боса, и грло своје, да не жедни. Али ти велиш: Од тога нема ништа; не, јер љубим туђе, и за њима ћу ићи.
26 [Yahweh says this]: “A robber is disgraced when he is caught. And all of you, including your kings and priests and prophets, are similarly disgraced.
Као што се лупеж посрами кад се ухвати, тако ће се посрамити дом Израиљев, они, цареви њихови, кнезови њихови, и свештеници њихови и пророци њихови,
27 You say to [a piece of] wood [that is carved to become a sacred idol], ‘You are our father!’ And you say to a stone [that you have set up], ‘You are our mother!’ You have rejected [IDM] me, but when you experience troubles, you cry out to me to rescue you.
Који говоре дрвету: Ти си отац мој; и камену: Ти си ме родио; јер ми окренуше леђа, а не лице; а кад су у невољи говоре: Устани и избави нас.
28 Why do you not [RHQ] cry out to the gods that you made? You have as many gods as you have cities [and towns] in Judah. So why do you not plead with them to rescue you when you experience disasters?
А где су богови твоји које си начинио себи? Нека устану, ако те могу избавити кад си у невољи, јер имаш, Јуда, богова колико градова.
29 You complain that it was wrong for me [not to have rescued you], but you have all rebelled against me.
Зашто хоћете да се правдате са мном? Ви сте се сви одметнули од мене, вели Господ.
30 I punished some of you, but you did not learn anything from my doing that. You have killed many of the prophets that I [sent to you], like [SIM] fierce lions kill [other animals].
Узалуд бих синове ваше, не примише науке; мач ваш прождре пророке ваше као лав који дави.
31 You people of Israel, pay attention to what I say. I have certainly [RHQ] never [abandoned you] in a desert; I have never [left you] in a land full of darkness. So, why do you, my people, say ‘We are free from God’s control; we will not return to [worship] God any more’?
О роде! Видите реч Господњу; бејах ли пустиња Израиљу или мрачна земља? Зашто говори мој народ: Господари смо, нећемо више доћи к теби?
32 A young woman would certainly never [RHQ] forget [to wear] her jewelry, and a bride would never [RHQ] forget to wear her wedding dress, but you my people have forgotten me for many years.
Заборавља ли девојка свој накит и невеста урес свој? А народ мој заборави ме толико дана да им нема броја.
33 You know how to easily find [gods from other countries] whom you can love. You can find them as easily as a prostitute [can find men to sleep with].
Зашто говориш да је добар твој пут тражећи шта љубиш? Па си и неваљале жене научио својим путевима.
34 Although you have on your clothes the blood of poor people whom you have murdered, people who (were innocent/had not done things that are wrong),
И још на скутовима твојим налази се крв сиромаха правих; не налазим копајући, него је на свима њима.
35 you say ‘We have not done anything that is wrong; so surely [Yahweh] is not angry with us.’ But I will punish [MTY] you [severely] for saying ‘We have not sinned.’
А ти говориш: Нисам крив, гнев се Његов одвратио од мене. Ево ја ћу се прети с тобом што говориш: Нисам згрешио.
36 Previously you requested [the army of] Assyria to help you, but they were not able to help you. Now you have requested [the army of] Egypt to help you, but they will not be able to help you, either.
Зашто трчкаш тако мењајући свој пут? Посрамићеш се од Мисирца како си се посрамио од Асирца.
37 They will capture you, and you will be [their prisoners] [MTY], led to Egypt, [very ashamed] with your hands on your heads. That will happen because I, Yahweh, have rejected those [nations] that you are relying on, and they will not be able to help you at all.”
Отићи ћеш и одатле с рукама над главом својом, јер Господ одбацује узданице твоје, и нећеш бити срећан у њима.
