Lamentations 2
1 Yahweh was extremely angry [with us]; as a result, [it was as though] [MET] he covered Jerusalem with a dark cloud. Previously it was a beautiful/glorious city, but he has caused it to become a ruins. At the time he punished [MET] Israel, he [even] abandoned his temple [MET] [in Jerusalem].
Kako obastrije Gospod oblakom u gnjevu svom kæer Sionsku! svrže s neba na zemlju slavu Izrailjevu, i ne opomenu se podnožja nogu svojih u dan gnjeva svojega!
2 Yahweh destroyed the homes of [the people of] [PRS] Judah; he did not act mercifully. Because he was very angry, he broke down the fortresses of Judah. He has caused our kingdom and our rulers to become disgraced, and he has gotten rid of them.
Gospod potr nemilice sve stanove Jakovljeve, razvali u gnjevu svom gradove kæeri Judine, i na zemlju obori, oskvrni carstvo i knezove njegove.
3 Because he was extremely angry, he has caused Israel to not be powerful [MET] any more. He has refused to assist us when our enemies attacked us. He has destroyed Israel like [SIM] a raging fire destroys everything.
Odbi u žestokom gnjevu sav rog Izrailju, obrati natrag desnicu svoju od neprijatelja, i raspali se na Jakova kao oganj plameni, koji proždire sve oko sebe.
4 He bent his bow [to prepare to shoot us, his people], as though we were his enemies. He [prepared to] kill the people whom we love the most [MET], members of our own families. He is extremely angry [MTY] with us people of Jerusalem; his anger is like [SIM] a fire.
Nateže luk svoj kao neprijatelj, podiže desnicu svoju kao protivnik, i pobi sve što bješe drago oèima; na šator kæeri Sionske prosu kao oganj gnjev svoj.
5 Yahweh has become like an enemy to [us] Israelis; he has destroyed our palaces and caused our fortresses to become ruins. He has gotten rid of many people in Jerusalem, and caused us to mourn and weep [for those who were killed].
Gospod posta kao neprijatelj; potr Izrailja, potr sve dvore njegove, raskopa sve gradove njegove, i umnoži kæeri Judinoj žalost i jad.
6 He has caused his temple to be smashed [as easily] as [SIM] if it was a shelter in a garden. He has caused [us, his people], to forget all our sacred festivals and Sabbath days. He has caused [our] kings and priests to be rejected because he was extremely angry with them.
Razvali mu ogradu kao vrtu; potr mjesto sastancima njegovijem; Gospod vrže u zaborav na Sionu praznike i subotu, i u žestini gnjeva svojega odbaci cara i sveštenika.
7 Yahweh has rejected his own altar and abandoned his temple. He has allowed [our] enemies to tear down the walls of [our temple and] our palaces. They shout [victoriously] in the temple of Yahweh, like we [previously shouted] during our sacred festivals.
Odbaci Gospod oltar svoj, omrze na svetinju svoju, predade u ruke neprijateljima zidove dvora Sionskih; stade ih vika u domu Gospodnjem kao na praznik.
8 Yahweh was determined to cause the walls of our city [MTY] to be torn down. [It was as though] he measured the walls and [then he completely] destroyed [MTY] them. [It was as though] he caused the towers and walls to lament/weep, [because they were now ruins].
Gospod naumi da raskopa zid kæeri Sionske, rasteže uže, i ne odvrati ruke svoje da ne zatre, i ojadi opkop i zid, iznemogoše skupa.
9 The city gates have collapsed; the bars that fastened the gates shut have been smashed. The king and his officials have [been forced to] go to other countries. No longer does anyone teach the people the laws [that God gave to Moses]. The prophets do not receive any visions [because] Yahweh does not give them any.
Utonuše u zemlju vrata njezina, polomi i potr prijevornice njezine; car njezin i knezovi njezini meðu narodima su; zakona nema, i proroci njezini ne dobijaju utvare od Gospoda.
10 The old men of Jerusalem [MTY] sit on the ground, and they say nothing. They wear rough sackcloth and throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad]. The young girls of Jerusalem bow down [sorrowfully], their faces touching the ground.
Starješine kæeri Sionske sjede na zemlji i muèe, posule su prahom glavu i pripasale kostrijet; oborile su k zemlji glave svoje djevojke Jerusalimske.
11 My eyes are very tired because of my tears; I am very grieved in my soul. Because [very many of] my people have been killed, I grieve and am exhausted. [Even] children and babies are fainting [and dying] in the streets [because they have no food].
Išèilješe mi oèi od suza, utroba se moja uskolebala, prosipa se na zemlju jetra moja od pogibli kæeri naroda mojega, jer djeca i koja sisaju obamiru na ulicama gradskim.
12 They cry out to their mothers, “We need [RHQ] something to eat and drink!” They faint like wounded men in the streets of the city. They slowly die in the arms of their mothers.
Govore materama svojim: gdje je žito i vino? obamiru kao ranjenici na ulicama gradskim, i ispuštaju dušu svoju u naruèju matera svojih.
13 You people of Jerusalem [MTY, DOU], (what can I/there is nothing that I can) say [to help you]. No people have [RHQ] suffered like you are suffering; I do not know what I can do to comfort you. The disaster [MET] that you have experienced is as great as the ocean is deep; there is no one [RHQ] who can restore your [city].
Koga æu ti uzeti za svjedoka? s èim æu te izjednaèiti, kæeri Jerusalimska? kaku æu ti priliku naæi, da te utješim, djevojko, kæeri Sionska? jer je nesreæa tvoja velika kao more, ko æe te iscijeliti?
14 The prophets among you claimed that they had seen visions [from Yahweh], but what they said was false and worthless. They did not save you from being (exiled/forced to go to other countries), because they did not proclaim that you had sinned. Instead, the messages that they gave you deceived you [because] they were not true.
Proroci tvoji prorokovaše ti laž i bezumlje, i ne otkrivaše bezakonja tvojega da bi odvratili ropstvo tvoje; nego ti kazivaše utvare lažne i koje æe te prognati.
15 All those who pass by you make fun of [IDM] you; they shake their heads and they hiss/sneer at you. [They say], “Is this that great city of Jerusalem? Is it the city that was the most beautiful city in the world, the city that caused all [the people on] the earth to be joyful?”
Pljeskaju rukama nad tobom svi koji prolaze, zvižde i mašu glavom za kæerju Jerusalimskom: to li je grad, za koji govorahu da je prava ljepota, radost svoj zemlji?
16 [Now] all our enemies scoff [IDM] at you; they hiss/sneer [at you] and gnash their teeth [to show that they hate you]. They say, “We have destroyed them! This is what we longed/waited for, and now it has happened!”
Razvaljuju usta na te svi neprijatelji tvoji, zvižde i škrguæu zubima govoreæi: proždrijesmo; ovo je doista dan koji èekasmo; doèekasmo, vidjesmo.
17 Yahweh has done what he planned; long ago he threatened to destroy you, and [now] he has done it. He has destroyed [your city] without acting mercifully [toward you]; he has enabled your enemies to he happy about defeating you; he has enabled your enemies to [continually] become stronger.
Uèini Gospod što naumi, ispuni rijeè svoju, koju kaza odavna; razori nemilice, i razveseli tobom neprijatelja, podiže rog protivnicima tvojim.
18 I wish/desire that the walls of Jerusalem [APO] would cry out to Yahweh! You people of Jerusalem [MET], Cry day and night! Let your tears flow like rivers. Do not stop grieving; do not stop crying.
Vièe srce njihovo ka Gospodu: zide kæeri Sionske, proljevaj potokom suze dan i noæ, ne daj sebi mira, i zjenica oka tvojega da ne staje.
19 Get up [every] night and cry out; tell Yahweh what you are feeling. Raise your arms to plead to him to act mercifully to prevent our children from dying; they are fainting on the street corners because they have no food to eat.
Ustani, vièi obnoæ; u poèetku straže, proljevaj srce svoje kao vodu pred Gospodom, podiži k njemu ruke svoje za dušu djece svoje koja obamiru od gladi na uglovima svojih ulica.
20 Yahweh, look, and think [about it]! Have you ever [RHQ] caused people to suffer like this before? [It is certainly not right that] [RHQ] women are eating the flesh of their own children, the children whom they have always taken care of! [It is not right that] [RHQ] priests and prophets are being killed in your own temple!
Pogledaj, Gospode, i vidi, kome si ovako uèinio. Eda li žene jedu porod svoj, djecu koju nose u naruèju? eda li se ubija u svetinji Gospodnjoj sveštenik i prorok?
21 [The corpses of] people of all ages lie in the streets; [there are even corpses of] young men and young women who have been killed by [our enemies’] swords. Because you were very angry, you caused them to be killed; you have slaughtered them without pitying them [at all].
Leže na zemlji po ulicama djeca i starci, djevojke moje i mladiæi moji padoše od maèa, pobio si ih u dan gnjeva svojega i poklao ne žaleæi.
22 You summoned our enemies to attack us from every direction, as though you were calling/inviting them to come to a feast. At that time when [you showed that] you were very angry, no one escaped. Our enemies murdered [our little children, ] ones whom we took care of and reared/brought up.
Sazvao si kao na praznik strahote moje otsvuda, i u dan gnjeva Gospodnjega niko ne uteèe niti osta. Koje na ruku nosih i othranih, njih mi neprijatelj moj pobi.
