Jeremiah 13
1 Yahweh said this to me, “Go and buy a linen undergarment and put it on around your waist, but do not put it in water first.”
Ovako mi govori Jahve: “Idi i kupi sebi lanen pojas i opaši bokove. Ali ga u vodu ne umači.”
2 So I bought an undergarment as Yahweh directed, and I put in on around my waist.
I kupih pojas po riječi Jahvinoj i opasah bokove.
3 Then the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
I dođe mi drugi put riječ Jahvina:
4 “Take the undergarment that you purchased that is around your waist, get up and go now to Perath. Hide it there in a rock crevice.”
“Uzmi pojas što si ga kupio i njime se opasao, digni se, idi do rijeke Eufrata i sakrij ga ondje u pukotinu pećine.”
5 So I went and hid it in Perath, just as Yahweh had commanded me.
I odoh i sakrih ga kraj Eufrata, kako mi Jahve zapovjedi. Poslije mnogo dana reče mi Jahve:
6 After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Get up and go back to Perath. Take from there the undergarment that I had told you to hide.”
“Ustaj, idi na Eufrat pa izvuci odande pojas za koji ti zapovjedih da ga ondje sakriješ.”
7 So I went back to Perath and dug out the undergarment where I had hid it, and behold, it was destroyed and completely useless.
Odoh na Eufrat, izvukoh i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio, i gle: pojas istrunuo, ne bijaše više nizašto.
8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:
9 “Yahweh says this: In the same way I will destroy the great arrogance of Judah and Jerusalem.
“Ovako govori Jahve: Tako ću uništiti silnu oholost Judeje i Jeruzalema.
10 This wicked people who refuses to listen to my word, who walk in the hardness of their heart, who go after other gods to worship them and bow down to them—they will be like this undergarment that is good for nothing.
Narod taj opaki koji ne sluša mojih riječi, nego slijedi okorjelo srce svoje i trči za drugim bogovima da im služi i da im se klanja, postat će kao tvoj pojas koji nije više nizašto.
11 For just as an undergarment clings to someone's hips, so I have made all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah cling to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—to be my people, to bring me fame, praise, and honor. But they would not listen to me.
Jer kao što pojas prianja uz bedra čovjekova, tako sam htio da sav dom Izraelov i sav dom Judin prianja uza me - riječ je Jahvina - da budu moj narod, moj dobar glas, moj ponos, moja slava i čast. Ali nisu poslušali!”
12 So you must speak this word to them, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Every jar will be filled with wine.' They will say to you, 'Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?'
Reci tom narodu: “Svaki se vrč puni vinom.” A oni će ti prigovoriti: “Zar možda ne znamo da se svaki vrč puni vinom?”
13 So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to fill with drunkenness every inhabitant of this land, the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Reci im tada: “Ovako govori Jahve: evo, napunit ću pijanošću sve stanovnike ove zemlje, kraljeve što sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, i svećenike, i proroke, i sve Jeruzalemce.
14 Then I will smash each man against the other, fathers and children together—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not pity them or have compassion, and I will not spare them from destruction.'”
I porazbijat ću ih jednog o drugoga, očeve zajedno sa sinovima - riječ je Jahvina. Uništit ću ih bez samilosti, bez milosrđa i bez smilovanja.”
15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be arrogant, for Yahweh had spoken.
Poslušajte, dobro čujte, okanite se oholosti: Jahve sad govori!
16 Give honor to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before he causes your feet to stumble on the mountains at twilight. For you are hoping for light, but he will turn the place into a deep darkness, into a dark cloud.
Dajte slavu Jahvi, Bogu svojemu, prije nego što se smrkne, prije nego što se noge vaše spotaknu po planinama mračnim. Vi se nadate svjetlosti, a on će je u mrak pretvoriti, prometnuti u crnu tamu!
17 So if you will not listen, I will weep alone because of your arrogance. My eyes will certainly weep and flow with tears, for Yahweh's flock has been taken captive.
Ako ovo ne poslušate, potajno će mi duša plakati zbog oholosti vaše, suze će roniti, oko će mi suze prolijevati, jer Jahvino stado u izgnanstvo odlazi.
18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Come down from your thrones, for your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.'
Reci kralju i kraljici-majci: “Sjednite duboko dolje, jer vijenac slave pade s vaših glava.
19 The cities in the Negev will be shut up, with no one to open them. All Judah will be taken captive, completely taken captive.
Gradovi Negeba zatvoreni su, i nikoga nema da ih otvori. Sva je Judeja izgnana, sasvim izgnana!”
20 Lift up your eyes and look at the ones coming from the north. Where is the flock he gave to you, the flock that was so beautiful to you?
Podigni oči, Jeruzaleme, i pogledaj one što nadiru sa Sjevera. Gdje je stado tebi povjereno, slavne ovce tvoje?
21 What will you say when God sets over you those you had trained to be your special allies? Are these not the beginnings of the labor pains that will seize you just like a woman in childbirth?
Što ćeš reći kada ti se nametnu kao gospodari tvoji oni koje si sam naučio da te kao ljubavnici vode. Neće li te bolovi spopasti kao porodilju?
22 Then you might say in your heart, 'Why are these things happening to me?' It will be for the multitude of your iniquities that your skirts are raised up and you have been violated.
Možda ćeš se tad upitati: “Zašto me to snašlo?” Zbog mnoštva bezakonja tvojih otkriše ti skute, nasilje nad tobom učiniše.
23 Can the people of Cush change their skin color, or a leopard change its spots? If so, then you yourself, although accustomed to wickedness, would be able to do good.
Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju? Ili leopard krzno svoje? “A vi, možete li činiti dobro, navikli da zlo činite?
24 So I will scatter them like chaff that perishes in the desert wind.
Zato ću vas raspršiti k'o pljevu koju raznosi pustinjski vjetar.
25 This is what I have given to you, the portion I have decreed for you—this is Yahweh's declaration— because you have forgotten me and trusted in deceit.
To je sudba tvoja i dio tebi odmjeren - riječ je Jahvina - jer si mene zaboravio i u laž se uzdao.
26 So also I myself will strip your skirts off you, and your private parts will be seen.
Sam ću ti halju do lica podići da se tvoja golotinja vidi.
27 I have seen your adultery and neighing, the wickedness of your prostitution on the hills and in the fields, and I have seen these detestable things! Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long until you are made clean again?”
Sve preljube tvoje, tvoje vriskanje i bestidno tvoje bludničenje, na humcima, u poljima, vidio sam tvoje grozote. Jao tebi, Jeruzaleme! Još se ne očisti i dokle će to još trajati ...?”
