Jeremiah 9
1 I wish that my head was [like] [MET] a spring of water, and that my eyes were [like] a fountain of tears. Then I would cry night and day for all of my people who have been killed [by our enemies].
O, da bi glava moja bila voda, a oèi moje izvori suzni! da plaèem danju i noæu za pobijenima kæeri naroda svojega.
2 I wish that I could leave my people and forget them, and go and live in a shack/shelter in the desert, because they have not remained faithful [MET] [to Yahweh]; they are a mob of people who deceive others.
O, da mi je u pustinji stanak putnièki! da ostavim narod svoj i da otidem od njih, jer su svi preljuboèinci, zbor nevjernièki;
3 [Yahweh replied to me], “They use their tongues [to tell] [MET] lies like people shoot [arrows] with bows. It is because they tell lies that they have become more powerful in this land, and they do not know me.
I zapinju jezik svoj kao luk da lažu, i osiliše na zemlji, ali ne za istinu, nego idu iz zla u zlo, niti znaju za me, govori Gospod.
4 Do not trust your neighbors and [even] your brothers! They all are as deceitful [as Jacob was]. They slander [each other] and tell lies [about each other].
Èuvajte se svaki prijatelja svojega i nijednome bratu ne vjerujte; jer svaki brat radi da potkine drugoga, i svaki prijatelj ide te opada.
5 They deceive their friends and never tell the truth. They lie continually and, because of that, they have become skilled liars; they do one oppressive thing after another, and are unable to stop doing it.
I svaki vara prijatelja svojega i ne govori istine, uèe jezik svoj da govori laž, muèe se da èine zlo.
6 They habitually lie and deceive [each other], and no one will admit/say that I am God.
Stan ti je usred prijevare; radi prijevare neæe da znaju za me, govori Gospod.
7 Therefore [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: Listen carefully to what I say: I will [cause my people to experience great afflictions, ] [like a metalworker puts metal in a hot fire] [MET] to completely burn out the impure bits. Because of all [the evil things] that my people have done, there is absolutely nothing else [RHQ] that I can do.
Zato ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: gle, pretopiæu ih, i okušaæu ih; jer što bih èinio radi kæeri naroda svojega?
8 What they say [MTY] [injures people like] [MET] poisoned arrows do. They say to their neighbors, ‘I hope things will go well for you,’ while they are planning to kill them.
Jezik im je strijela smrtna, govori prijevaru; ustima govore o miru s prijateljem svojim, a u srcu namještaju zasjedu.
9 Should I not punish them for doing that [RHQ]? Yes, I should certainly (get revenge on/give what they deserve to) [the people of] a nation that does things like that!”
Zato li ih neæu pohoditi? govori Gospod; duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
10 So, I will weep and wail for [the people who live in] the mountains and in the (pastures/places where the livestock eat the grass), because those areas will be desolate, and no one will live there. There will be no cattle there to call to each other, and all the birds and wild animals will have fled [to other places].
Za ovijem gorama udariæu u plaè i u ridanje, i za torovima u pustinji u naricanje; jer izgorješe da niko ne prolazi niti se èuje glas od stada, i ptice nebeske i stoka pobjegoše i otidoše.
11 [Yahweh also says], “I will cause Jerusalem to become a heap of ruins, and [only] jackals/wolves will live there. I will destroy the towns of Judah, with the result that they will be completely deserted; no one will live there.”
I obratiæu Jerusalim u gomilu, u stan zmajevski; i gradove Judine obratiæu u pustoš, da neæe niko onuda živjeti.
12 [I said], “Only people who are very wise [RHQ] can understand these things. Only those who have been taught by Yahweh can [RHQ] explain these things to others. The wise people are [RHQ] the only ones who can explain why the land will be completely ruined with the result that everyone [RHQ] will be afraid to travel through it.”
Ko je mudar da bi razumio? i komu govoriše usta Gospodnja, da bi objavio zašto zemlja propade i izgorje kao pustinja da niko ne prolazi?
13 Yahweh replied, “[These things will happen] because my people have rejected my laws which I gave to them; they have not obeyed me or my instructions.
Jer Gospod reèe: što ostaviše zakon moj, koji metnuh pred njih, i ne slušaše glasa mojega i ne hodiše za njim,
14 Instead, they have stubbornly done the things that they wanted to do. They have worshiped the idols that represent the god Baal, which is what their ancestors did.
Nego hodiše za mislima srca svojega i za Valima, èemu ih nauèiše oci njihovi,
15 So now listen to what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God of the Israelis, say: [What I will do will be like] [MET] giving these people bitter things to eat and poison to drink:
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo ja æu nahraniti taj narod pelenom i napojiæu ih žuèi.
16 I will scatter them to many nations which neither they nor their ancestors have known [anything about]; I will [enable their enemies to] strike them with swords until I have destroyed them.”
I rasijaæu ih meðu narode, kojih ne poznavaše ni oni ni oci njihovi; i puštaæu za njima maè dokle ih ne istrijebim.
17 This is also what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Think [about what is happening], [then] summon those women who mourn [when someone has died].
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: gledajte i zovite narikaèe neka doðu, i pošljite po vješte neka doðu,
18 Tell them to come quickly and start to wail, with the result that tears will stream down from your(pl) eyes.
I neka brže narièu za nama, da se rone suze od oèiju naših, i od vjeða naših da teèe voda.
19 Listen to [the people of] Jerusalem crying/lamenting, saying, ‘We have been ruined/destroyed! We have experienced a terrible disaster! Now we are very ashamed, because our houses have been destroyed [by our enemies], and we [are being forced to] leave our land.’”
Jer se glasno ridanje èu od Siona: kako propadosmo! posramismo se vrlo, jer se rastavljasmo sa zemljom, jer obaraju stanove naše.
20 You women, listen to what Yahweh says [MTY]. Pay attention to his words [DOU]. Teach your daughters to wail. Teach each other how to sing funeral songs,
Zato, žene, èujte rijeè Gospodnju i neka primi uho vaše rijeè usta njegovijeh, i uèite kæeri svoje ridati i jedna drugu naricati.
21 because people will be dying [PRS] in your houses and in palaces. There will be no more children playing in the streets, there will be no more young men [gathering] in the city squares/marketplaces.
Jer se pope smrt na prozore naše i uðe u dvorove naše da istrijebi djecu s ulica i mladiæe s putova.
22 There will be corpses scattered across the fields like dung; their dead bodies will lie there like [SIM] grain that has been cut by reapers/farmers, and there will be no one [still alive] to bury them.
Reci: ovako govori Gospod: i mrtva æe tjelesa ljudska ležati kao gnoj po njivi i kao rukoveti za žeteocem, kojih niko ne kupi.
23 Yahweh says this: “Wise men should not boast about their being wise, strong men should not boast about their being strong; and rich people should not boast about their being rich.
Ovako veli Gospod: mudri da se ne hvali mudrošæu svojom, ni jaki da se ne hvali snagom svojom, ni bogati da se ne hvali bogatstvom svojim.
24 Instead, those who want to boast should boast about their knowing me and about understanding that I am Yahweh, that I am kind and just and righteous, that I faithfully love [people], and that I am delighted with [people who act] that way.
Nego ko se hvali, neka se hvali tijem što razumije i poznaje mene da sam ja Gospod koji èinim milost i sud i pravdu na zemlji, jer mi je to milo, govori Gospod.
25 There will be a time when I will punish all those people of Egypt and of the Moab people-group and of the Edom [people-group] and of the Ammon [people-group], all those people who live close to desert areas (OR, who cut their hair short [to please their gods]) far from Judah, all those people who have [changed their bodies by] circumcising them [MET] but who have not [changed] their inner beings. I will punish the people of Judah also, because they have not changed their inner beings, [either].”
Eto, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad æu pohoditi sve, obrezane i neobrezane,
Misirce i Judejce i Edomce i sinove Amonove i Moavce i sve koji se s kraja strigu, koji žive u pustinji; jer su svi ti narodi neobrezani, i sav je dom Izrailjev neobrezana srca.
