Jeremiah 13

1 The Lord seith these thingis to me, Go, and take in possessioun to thee a lynnun breigirdil; and thou schalt putte it on thi leendis, and thou schalt not bere it in to watir.

Ovako mi govori Jahve: “Idi i kupi sebi lanen pojas i opaši bokove. Ali ga u vodu ne umači.”

2 And Y took in possessioun a breigirdil, bi the word of the Lord; and Y puttide aboute my leendis.

I kupih pojas po riječi Jahvinoj i opasah bokove.

3 And the word of the Lord was maad to me in the secounde tyme,

I dođe mi drugi put riječ Jahvina:

4 and seide, Take the brigirdil, which thou haddist in possessioun, which is aboute thi leendis; and rise thou, and go to Eufrates, and hide thou it there, in the hoole of a stoon.

“Uzmi pojas što si ga kupio i njime se opasao, digni se, idi do rijeke Eufrata i sakrij ga ondje u pukotinu pećine.”

5 And Y yede, and hidde it in Eufrates, as the Lord comaundide to me.

I odoh i sakrih ga kraj Eufrata, kako mi Jahve zapovjedi. Poslije mnogo dana reče mi Jahve:

6 And it was don aftir ful many daies, the Lord seide to me, Rise thou, and go to Eufrates, and take fro thennus the brigirdil, whiche Y comaundide to thee, that thou schuldist hide it there.

“Ustaj, idi na Eufrat pa izvuci odande pojas za koji ti zapovjedih da ga ondje sakriješ.”

7 And Y yede to Eufrates, and diggide out, and Y took the breigirdil fro the place, where Y hadde hidde it; and lo! the breigirdil was rotun, so that it was not able to ony vss.

Odoh na Eufrat, izvukoh i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio, i gle: pojas istrunuo, ne bijaše više nizašto.

8 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:

9 and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, So Y schal make rotun the pride of Juda, and the myche pride of Jerusalem,

“Ovako govori Jahve: Tako ću uništiti silnu oholost Judeje i Jeruzalema.

10 and this worste puple, that nylen here my wordis, and goen in the schrewidnesse of her herte; and thei yeden aftir alien goddis, to serue hem, and to worschipe hem; and thei schulen be as this breigirdil, which is not able to ony vss.

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 as a breigirdil cleueth to the leendis of a man, so Y ioynede faste to me al the hous of Israel, and al the hous of Juda, seith the Lord, that thei schulden be to me in to a puple, and in to name, and in to heriyng, and in to glorie; and thei herden not.

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 Therfor thou schalt seie to hem this word, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Ech potel schal be fillid of wyn. And thei schulen seie to thee, Whether we witen not, that ech potel schal be fillid of wyn?

Reci tom narodu: “Svaki se vrč puni vinom.” A oni će ti prigovoriti: “Zar možda ne znamo da se svaki vrč puni vinom?”

13 And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y shal fille with drunkenesse alle the dwelleris of this lond, and the kyngis of the generacioun of Dauith, that sitten on his trone, and the prestis, and profetis, and alle the dwelleris 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 And Y schal scatere hem, a man fro his brother, and the fadris and sones togidere, seith the Lord; Y schal not spare, and Y schal not graunte, nether Y schal do mercy, that I leese not hem.

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 Here ye, and perseyue with eeris; nyle ye be reisid, for the Lord spak.

Poslušajte, dobro čujte, okanite se oholosti: Jahve sad govori!

16 Yyue ye glorie to youre Lord God, bifore that it wexe derk, and bifor that youre feet hirte at derk hillis; ye schulen abide liyt, and he schal sette it in to the schadewe of deeth, and in to derknesse.

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 That if ye heren not this, my soule schal wepe in hid place for the face of pride; it wepynge schal wepe, and myn iye shal caste out a teer, for the floc of the Lord is takun.

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 Seye thou to the kyng, and to the ladi, Be ye mekid, sitte ye, for the coroun of youre glorie schal go doun fro youre heed.

Reci kralju i kraljici-majci: “Sjednite duboko dolje, jer vijenac slave pade s vaših glava.

19 The cities of the south ben closid, and noon is that openith; al Juda is translatid bi perfit passyng ouere, ether goynge out of her lond.

Gradovi Negeba zatvoreni su, i nikoga nema da ih otvori. Sva je Judeja izgnana, sasvim izgnana!”

20 Reise ye youre iyen, and se ye, what men comen fro the north; where is the floc which is youun to thee, thi noble scheep?

Podigni oči, Jeruzaleme, i pogledaj one što nadiru sa Sjevera. Gdje je stado tebi povjereno, slavne ovce tvoje?

21 What schalt thou seie, whanne he schal visite thee? for thou hast tauyt hem ayens thee, and thou hast tauyt ayens thin heed. Whether sorewis han not take thee, as a womman trauelynge of child?

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 That if thou seist in thin herte, Whi camen these thingis to me? for the multitude of thi wickidnesse thi schamefulere thingis ben schewid, thi feet ben defoulid.

Možda ćeš se tad upitati: “Zašto me to snašlo?” Zbog mnoštva bezakonja tvojih otkriše ti skute, nasilje nad tobom učiniše.

23 If a man of Ethiopie mai chaunge his skyn, ether a pard mai chaunge hise dyuersitees, and ye moun do wel, whanne ye han lerned yuel.

Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju? Ili leopard krzno svoje? “A vi, možete li činiti dobro, navikli da zlo činite?

24 And Y schal sowe hem abrood, as stobil which is rauyschid of the wynd in desert.

Zato ću vas raspršiti k'o pljevu koju raznosi pustinjski vjetar.

25 This is thi lot, and the part of thi mesure of me, seith the Lord; for thou foryetidist me, and tristidist in a leesyng.

To je sudba tvoja i dio tebi odmjeren - riječ je Jahvina - jer si mene zaboravio i u laž se uzdao.

26 Wherfor and Y made nakid thin hipis ayens thi face, and thi schenschipe apperide,

Sam ću ti halju do lica podići da se tvoja golotinja vidi.

27 thin auowtries, and thin neyyng, and the felonye of thi fornycacioun on litle hillis in the feeld; Y siy thin abhomynaciouns. Jerusalem, wo to thee, thou schalt not be clensid after me til yit.

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 ...?”
