Jeremiah 8
1 Yahweh says, “At the time [that your corpses are scattered on the ground], [your enemies will] break open the graves of your kings and [other] officials who lived in Judah, and the graves of your priests and prophets and other people who lived there.
“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 They will take out their bones [from their graves] and [dishonor them by] scattering them on the ground under the sun and the moon and the stars— those are the gods which my people loved and served and worshiped. No one will gather up their bones and bury them [again]; they will remain scattered on the ground like dung.
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 And all the people of this wicked nation [who are still alive and] whom I have exiled to other countries will say, ‘We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive [here in these countries].’ [That will be true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
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 [Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], tell the people that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to them: ‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not [RHQ]? When people are going along a road and find out that they are walking on the wrong road, they go back [and find the correct road], do they not [RHQ]?
“Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Padne li tko, neće li opet ustati, zaluta li, neće li se opet vratiti?
5 [Yes, they do], so why do these people [of Judah] continue [trusting in those idols that have deceived them]? They continue turning away from me, [even though I have warned them].
Zašto onda taj narod luta uporno i neprekidno? Čvrsto se drže laži, neće da se obrate.
6 I have listened carefully [DOU] [to what they say], but they do not say what they should say. Not one of them is sorry for having sinned. No one says, “I have done [RHQ] wicked things.” They are [sinning and] doing what they want to as fast as [SIM] a horse that is running into a 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 All the birds [that fly south for the (winter/cold season)] know the time that they need to fly south, and they all return at the right time the following year. But my people [are not like those birds]! They do not know what [I], Yahweh, require them to do.
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 Your men who teach you [the laws that Moses wrote] have been saying false things [about those laws]. [So], why [RHQ] do they [continue] saying, “We are [very] wise [because] we have the laws of Yahweh”?
Kako možete tvrditi: 'Mi smo mudri, u nas je Zakon Jahvin!' Zaista, u laž ga je pretvorila lažljiva pisaljka pisara!
9 Those teachers, who think that [IRO] they are wise, will be ashamed/disgraced and dismayed when they are taken [to other countries by their enemies] because they sinned by rejecting what I told them. Truly, they were not [RHQ] very wise to do that!
Mudraci će biti osramoćeni, prestravljeni i uhvaćeni u zamku. Gle, oni prezreše riječ Jahvinu! A njihova mudrost - što im koristi?
10 So, I will give their wives to other men; I will give their fields to [the enemy soldiers] who conquer them. All the people, including those who are important and those who are not important, deceive [others] in order to obtain their possessions. Even [my] prophets and my priests do that.
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 act as though the sins of my people] are not serious, [like] [MET] wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged. They tell the people that everything will go well with them, [but that is not true]; things will not go well with them.
I olako liječe ranu naroda mojega vičući: 'Mir! Mir!' Ali mira nema.
12 They should be [RHQ] ashamed when they do disgusting things [RHQ], but they do not even know how to show on their faces that they are ashamed [about their sins]. So, [they will be killed, and] their corpses [also] will lie among the corpses of others who have been slaughtered [by their enemies]. They will be killed when I punish them.
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 [allow their enemies to] take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields. Their fruit trees will all wither. They will not receive [all] the blessings that I prepared for them. [This will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
“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 [Then the people will say], “(Why should we wait here [in these small towns]?/We should not wait here [in these small towns].) [RHQ]! We should go to the cities that have high walls around them, [but even if we do that] we will be killed there, because Yahweh our God has decided that we must be destroyed; [it is as though] [MET] he has given us a cup of poison to drink, because we sinned against him.
'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 hoped/desired that things would go well for us, but things have not gone well. We hoped that bad things would not happen to us any more, but only things that terrify us [are happening to us].
Nadasmo se miru, ali dobra nema, čekasmo vrijeme ozdravljenja, al' evo užasa!
16 People [far north in Israel] in [the city of] Dan can already hear the snorting of the horses of their enemies [who are preparing to attack us]. [It is as though] the entire land [of Judah] is shaking as their army approaches; they are coming to destroy our land and everything in it, the people and the cities.”
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 [Yahweh says], “I will send [those enemy soldiers to Judah], and they will be like [MET] poisonous snakes among you. No one will be able to stop them from attacking you [MET]; they will attack you like snakes do, [and kill you].”
I gle, puštam na vas otrovnice protiv kojih nema čarolija; ujedat će vas - riječ je Jahvina -
18 I grieve very much [for the people of Judah], and my grieving does not end. I am very sad [IDM].
lijeka biti neće.” Bol me spopada, srce mi iznemoglo.
19 Throughout our land, the people ask, “Has Yahweh abandoned Jerusalem? Is [he], our city’s king, no longer there?” [Yahweh replies], “Why do the people cause me to become very angry by [worshiping] idols and foreign gods?” [RHQ]
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 people say], “The harvest [season] is finished, the (summer/hot season) has ended, [and we hoped that we would receive blessings from Yahweh], but he has not rescued us [from our enemies].”
Žetva prođe, minu ljeto, a mi nismo spašeni!”
21 I cry because my people have been crushed. I mourn, and I am completely dismayed.
Satrven sam što je kći naroda mojega satrvena, žalostan sam, stravom obuzet.
22 [I ask], “Surely there is [RHQ] medicinal balm in the Gilead [region]! Surely there are [RHQ] doctors there!” But my people have been badly wounded [in their spirits], and nothing can heal them.
Zar u Gileadu nema balzama? Nema li ondje liječnika? TÓa zašto ne dolazi ozdravljenje kćeri naroda mojega?
