Jeremiah 2
1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem. Say, 'Yahweh says this: I have called to mind on your behalf the covenant faithfulness in your youthfulness, your love at the time when we were engaged, when you went after me in the wilderness, the land that was not sown.
Idi i vièi Jerusalimu da èuje i govori: ovako veli Gospod: opominjem te se po milosti u mladosti tvojoj i po ljubavi o vjeridbi tvojoj, kad iðaše za mnom po pustinji, i po zemlji gdje se ne sije.
3 Israel was set apart to Yahweh, the firstfruits of his harvest! All who ate from the firstfruits were held guilty; disaster came upon them—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
Izrailj bješe svetinja Gospodu i prvina od rodova njegovijeh; koji je jeðahu svi bijahu krivi, zlo dolažaše na njih, veli Gospod.
4 Hear the word of Yahweh, house of Jacob, all you clans of the house of Israel.
Èujte rijeè Gospodnju, dome Jakovljev i sve porodice doma Izrailjeva.
5 Yahweh says this, “What did your fathers find wrong with me, that they went far from following me? That they went after useless idols and became useless themselves?
Ovako veli Gospod: kaku nepravdu naðoše oci vaši u mene, te otstupiše od mene, i pristaše za ništavilom, i postaše ništavi?
6 They did not say, 'Where is Yahweh, who brought us up from the land of Egypt? Where is Yahweh, who led us to the wilderness, into the land of the Arabah and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, a land through which no one passes and where no one lives?'
I ne rekoše: gdje je Gospod koji nas je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, koji nas je vodio po pustinji, po zemlji pustoj i punoj propasti, po zemlji suhoj i gdje je sjen smrtni, po zemlji preko koje niko nije hodio i u kojoj niko nije živio?
7 But I brought you to the land of Carmel, to eat its fruit and other good things! Yet when you came, you defiled my land, you made my inheritance an abomination!
I kad vas dovedoh u zemlju rodnu da jedete rod njezin i dobra njezina, došavši oskvrniste zemlju moju i od našljedstva mojega naèiniste gad.
8 The priest did not say, 'Where is Yahweh?' and the experts in the law did not care about me! The shepherds transgressed against me. The prophets prophesied for Baal and walked after unprofitable things.
Sveštenici ne rekoše: gdje je Gospod? I koji se bave zakonom ne poznaše me, i pastiri odustaše me, i proroci prorokovaše Valom i idoše za stvarima zaludnijem.
9 So I will still accuse you—this is Yahweh's declaration—and I will accuse your sons' sons.
Zato æu se još preti s vama, veli Gospod, i sa sinovima sinova vaših preæu se.
10 For cross over to the coasts of Kittim and look. Send messengers out to Kedar and find out and see if there has ever before been anything like this.
Jer proðite ostrva Kitimska i vidite, i pošljite u Kidar, i razgledajte dobro, i vidite je li bilo tako što:
11 Has a nation exchanged gods, even though they were not gods? But my people have exchanged their glory for what cannot help them.
Je li koji narod promijenio bogove, ako i nijesu bogovi? a moj narod promijeni slavu svoju na stvar zaludnu.
12 Shudder, heavens, because of this! Be shocked and horrified—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Èudite se tome, nebesa, i zgrozite se i upropastite se! veli Gospod.
13 For my people have committed two evils against me: They have abandoned the springs of living waters, and they have dug out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
Jer dva zla uèini moj narod: ostaviše mene, izvor žive vode, i iskopaše sebi studence, studence isprovaljivane, koji ne mogu da drže vode.
14 Is Israel a slave? Was he born in his master's home? So why has he become plunder?
Je li Izrailj rob? je li rob u kuæi roðen? zašto posta grabež?
15 Young lions roared against him. They made a lot of noise and made his land a horror. His cities are destroyed without any inhabitants.
Rikaše na nj laviæi i dizaše glas svoj, i obratiše zemlju njegovu u pustoš; gradovi su mu popaljeni, te nema nikoga da živi u njima.
16 Also, the people of Memphis and Tahpanhes will shave your skull.
I sinovi Nofski i Tafneski opasoše ti tjeme.
17 Did you not do this to yourselves when you abandoned Yahweh your God, while he was leading you along the way?
Nijesi li to sam sebi uèinio ostaviv Gospoda Boga svojega kad te voðaše putem?
18 So now, why take the road to Egypt and drink the waters of Shihor? Why take the road to Assyria and drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
A sada što æe ti put Misirski da piješ vode Siorske? što li æe ti put Asirski da piješ vode iz rijeke?
19 Your wickedness rebukes you, and your faithlessness punishes you. So think about it and understand that it is wicked and bitter when you forsake Yahweh your God, and have no fear of me—this is the declaration of Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Tvoja æe te zloæa pokarati i tvoje æe te odmetanje prekoriti. Poznaj dakle i vidi da je zlo i gorko što si ostavio Gospoda Boga svojega i što nema straha mojega u tebi, veli Gospod Gospod nad vojskama.
20 For I broke your yoke that you had in ancient days; I tore your fetters off you. Still you said, 'I will not serve!' since you bowed down on every high hill and beneath every leafy tree, you adulterer.
Jer davno izlomih jaram tvoj i raskidoh sveze tvoje, i ti reèe: neæu biti sluga; a na svaki visoki hum i pod svako zeleno drvo ideš da se kurvaš.
21 I planted you as a choice vine, completely from pure seed. How then have you have changed yourself into a corrupt, worthless vine?
Ja te posadih lozu izabranu, sve sjeme istinito; pa kako mi se promijeni i izmetnu se odvoda od tuðe loze?
22 For even if you clean yourself in the river or wash with strong soap, your iniquity is a stain before me—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
Da se izmiješ salitrom i uzmeš mnogo sapuna, opet æe se poznavati bezakonje tvoje preda mnom, veli Gospod Gospod.
23 How can you say, 'I am not defiled! I have not walked after the Baals'? Look at what you did in the valleys! Consider what you have done—you are a swift female camel running here and there,
Kako možeš reæi: nijesam se oskvrnio, nijesam išao za Valima? Pogledaj put svoj po dolu; poznaj šta si uèinila, brza kamilo, koja ostavljaš znake na svojim putovima.
24 a wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust? None of the males need wear themselves out pursuing her; at mating time they will find her.
Kao divlja magarica, koja je navikla na pustinju i po želji duše svoje vuèe u se vjetar, kad navali, ko æe je vratiti? koji je traže neæe se umoriti, naæi æe je u mjesecu njezinu.
25 You must restrain your feet from becoming bare and your throat from being thirsty! But you have said, 'It is hopeless! No, I love strangers and go after them!'
Èuvaj nogu svoju, da nije bosa, i grlo svoje, da ne žedni. Ali ti veliš: od toga nema ništa; ne, jer ljubim tuðe, i za njima æu iæi.
26 Like the shame of a thief when he is found, so the house of Israel will be ashamed— they, their kings, their princes, and their priests and prophets!
Kao što se lupež posrami kad se uhvati, tako æe se posramiti dom Izrailjev, oni, carevi njihovi, knezovi njihovi, i sveštenici njihovi i proroci njihovi,
27 These are the ones who say to the tree, 'You are my father,' and to the stone, 'You gave birth to me.' For their back faces me and not their faces. Nevertheless, they say in the time of troubles, 'Arise and save us!'
Koji govore drvetu: ti si otac moj; i kamenu: ti si me rodio; jer mi okrenuše leða a ne lice; a kad su u nevolji govore: ustani i izbavi nas.
28 Yet where are the gods that you made for yourselves? Let them arise if they wish to save you in your time of troubles, for your idols equal your cities in number, Judah!
A gdje su bogovi tvoji koje si naèinio sebi? neka ustanu, ako te mogu izbaviti kad si u nevolji, jer imaš, Juda, bogova koliko gradova.
29 So why do you accuse me of doing wrong? All of you have sinned against me—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Zašto hoæete da se pravdate sa mnom? vi ste se svi odmetnuli od mene, veli Gospod.
30 I have punished your people in vain. They would not accept discipline. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a destructive lion!
Uzalud bih sinove vaše, ne primiše nauke; maè vaš proždrije proroke vaše kao lav koji davi.
31 You who belong to this generation! Pay attention to my word, the word of Yahweh! Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of deep darkness? Why would my people say, 'Let us wander around, we will not go to you anymore'?
O rode! vidite rijeè Gospodnju; bijah li pustinja Izrailju ili mraèna zemlja? zašto govori moj narod: gospodari smo, neæemo više doæi k tebi?
32 Will a virgin forget her jewelry, a bride her veils? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number!
Zaboravlja li djevojka svoj nakit i nevjesta ures svoj? a narod moj zaboravi me toliko dana da im nema broja.
33 How well you make your way to look for love. You have even taught your ways to wicked women.
Zašto govoriš da je dobar tvoj put tražeæi što ljubiš? pa si i nevaljale žene nauèio svojim putovima.
34 The blood that was the life of innocent, poor people has been found on your clothes. These people were not discovered in acts of burglary.
I jošte na skutovima tvojim nalazi se krv siromaha pravijeh; ne nalazim kopajuæi, nego je na svjema njima.
35 Yet you say, 'I am innocent; surely his anger has turned away from me.' But look! I will bring down judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.'
A ti govoriš: nijesam kriv, gnjev se je njegov odvratio od mene. Evo ja æu se preti s tobom što govoriš: nijesam zgriješio.
36 Why do you treat so very lightly this change in your ways? You will also be disappointed by Egypt, just as you were by Assyria.
Zašto trèkaš tako mijenjajuæi svoj put? Posramiæeš se od Misirca kako si se posramio od Asirca.
37 You will also go out from there dejected, with your hands on your head, for Yahweh has rejected the ones whom you trusted, so you will not be helped by them.”
Otiæi æeš i odatle s rukama nad glavom svojom, jer Gospod odbacuje uzdanice tvoje, i neæeš biti sreæan u njima.
