Jeremiah 15

1 And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.

I reèe mi Gospod: da stane Mojsije i Samuilo preda me, ne bi se duša moja obratila k tome narodu; otjeraj ih ispred mene, i neka odlaze.

2 And it hath come to pass, when they say to thee, Whither do we go out? that thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah: Those who [are] for death — to death, And those who are for the sword, to the sword, And those who are for famine, to famine, And those who are for captivity, to captivity.

I ako ti reku: kuda æemo iæi? tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: ko je za smrt, na smrt; ko je za maè, pod maè; ko za glad, na glad; ko za ropstvo, u ropstvo.

3 And I have appointed over them four kinds, an affirmation of Jehovah, The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour.

I pustiæu na njih èetvoro, govori Gospod: maè, da ih ubija, i pse, da ih razvlaèe, i ptice nebeske i zvijeri zemaljske, da ih jedu i istrijebe.

4 And I have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah, For that which he did in Jerusalem.

I daæu ih da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim radi Manasije sina Jezekijina cara Judina za ono što je uèinio u Jerusalimu.

5 For who hath pity on thee, O Jerusalem? And who doth bemoan for thee? And who turneth aside to ask of thy welfare?

Jer ko bi se smilovao na tebe, Jerusalime? ko li bi te požalio? ko li bi došao da zapita kako ti je?

6 Thou — thou hast left Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Backward thou goest, And I stretch out My hand against thee, And I destroy thee, I have been weary of repenting,

Ti si me ostavio, govori Gospod, otišao si natrag; zato æu mahnuti rukom svojom na te i pogubiæu te; dosadi mi žaliti.

7 And I scatter them with a fan, in the gates the land, I bereaved, I have destroyed My people, From their ways they turned not back.

Zato æu ih izvijati vijaèom na vratima zemaljskim, uèiniæu ih sirotima, potræu narod svoj, jer se ne vraæaju s putova svojih.

8 Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas, I brought in to them — against the mother — A young man — a spoiler — at noon. I caused to fall upon her suddenly, wrath and trouble.

Više æe mi biti udovica njegovijeh nego pijeska morskoga, dovešæu im na majke momaèke zatiraèe u podne, i pustiæu iznenada na njih smetnju i strahotu.

9 Languished hath the bearer of seven, She hath breathed out her spirit, Gone in hath her sun while yet day, It hath been ashamed and confounded, And their residue to the sword I give up before their enemies, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Iznemoæi æe koja je rodila sedmoro i ispustiæe dušu, sunce æe joj zaæi još za dana, sramiæe se i stidjeæe se, a ostatak æu njihov dati pod maè pred neprijateljima njihovijem, govori Gospod.

10 Woe to me, my mother, For thou hast borne me a man of strife, And a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me — All of them are reviling me.

Teško meni, majko moja, što si me rodila da se sa mnom prepire i da se sa mnom svaða sva zemlja; ne davah u zajam niti mi davaše u zajam, i opet me svi proklinju.

11 Jehovah said, Did I not direct thee for good? Did not I intercede for thee in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?

Gospod reèe: doista, ostatku æe tvojemu biti dobro, i braniæu te od neprijatelja, kad budeš u nevolji i u tjeskobi.

12 Doth one break iron — northern iron, and brass?

Eda li æe gvožðe slomiti gvožðe sjeverno i mjed?

13 Thy strength and thy treasures For a prey I do give — not for price, Even for all thy sins, and in all thy borders.

Imanje tvoje i blago tvoje daæu da se razgrabi bez cijene po svijem meðama tvojim, i to za sve grijehe tvoje.

14 And I have caused thine enemies To pass over into the land — Thou hast not known, For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, Against you it doth burn.

I odvešæu te s neprijateljima tvojim u zemlju koje ne poznaješ, jer se raspalio oganj od gnjeva mojega, i gorjeæe nad vama.

15 Thou, Thou hast known, O Jehovah, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Thy long-suffering take me not away, Know — I have borne for Thee reproach.

Ti znaš, Gospode, opomeni me se i pohodi me i osveti me od onijeh koji me gone; nemoj me zgrabiti dokle se ustežeš od gnjeva; znaj da podnosim rug tebe radi.

16 Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

Kad se naðoše rijeèi tvoje, pojedoh ih, i rijeè tvoja bi mi radost i veselje srcu mojemu, jer je ime tvoje prizvano na me, Gospode Bože nad vojskama.

17 I have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of thy hand, — Alone I have sat, For [with] indignation Thou hast filled me.

Ne sjedim u vijeæu potsmjevaèkom niti se s njima veselim; sjedim sam radi ruke tvoje, jer si me napunio srdnje.

18 Why hath my pain been perpetual? And my wound incurable? It hath refused to be healed, Thou art surely to me as a failing stream, Waters not stedfast.

Zašto bol moj jednako traje? i zašto je rana moja smrtna, te neæe da se iscijeli? Hoæeš li mi biti kao varalica, kao voda nepostojana?

19 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: If thou turnest back, then I bring thee back, Before Me thou dost stand, And if thou bringest out the precious from the vile, As My mouth thou art! They — they turn back unto thee, And thou dost not turn back unto them.

Zato ovako veli Gospod: ako se obratiš, ja æu te opet postaviti da stojiš preda mnom, ako odvojiš što je dragocjeno od rðavoga, biæeš kao usta moja; oni neka se obrate k tebi, a ti se ne obraæaj k njima.

20 And I have made thee to this people For a wall — brazen — fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not prevail against thee, For with thee [am] I to save thee, And to deliver thee — an affirmation of Jehovah,

I uèiniæu da budeš tome narodu kao jak zid mjeden, i udaraæe na te, ali te neæe nadvladati; jer sam ja s tobom da te èuvam i izbavljam, govori Gospod.

21 And I have delivered thee from the hand of evil doers, And I have ransomed thee From the hand of the terrible!

I izbaviæu te iz ruku zlijeh ljudi, i iskupiæu te iz ruku nasilnièkih.
