Jeremiah 2
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 'Go, and thou hast called in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said Jehovah: I have remembered for thee The kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, Thy going after Me in a wilderness, in a land 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 Holy [is] Israel to Jehovah, The first-fruit of His increase, All consuming him are guilty, Evil cometh in unto them, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Izrailj bješe svetinja Gospodu i prvina od rodova njegovijeh; koji je jeðahu svi bijahu krivi, zlo dolažaše na njih, veli Gospod.
4 Hear a word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, And all ye families of the house of Israel.
Èujte rijeè Gospodnju, dome Jakovljev i sve porodice doma Izrailjeva.
5 Thus said Jehovah: What — have your fathers found in Me perversity, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after the vanity, and become vain,
Ovako veli Gospod: kaku nepravdu naðoše oci vaši u mene, te otstupiše od mene, i pristaše za ništavilom, i postaše ništavi?
6 And have not said, Where [is] Jehovah, Who bringeth us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leadeth us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land — none hath passed through it, Nor dwelt hath man there?'
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 Yea, I bring you in to a land of fruitful fields, To eat its fruit and its goodness, And ye come in and defile My land, And Mine inheritance have made 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 priests have not said, 'Where [is] Jehovah?' And those handling the law have not known Me. And the shepherds transgressed against Me, And the prophets have prophesied by Baal, And after those who profit not have gone.
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 Therefore, yet I plead with you, An affirmation of Jehovah, And with your sons' sons I plead.
Zato æu se još preti s vama, veli Gospod, i sa sinovima sinova vaših preæu se.
10 For, pass to the isles of Chittim, and see, And to Kedar send, and consider well, And see if there hath been like this:
Jer proðite ostrva Kitimska i vidite, i pošljite u Kidar, i razgledajte dobro, i vidite je li bilo tako što:
11 Hath a nation changed gods? (And they [are] no gods!) And My people hath changed its honour For that which doth not profit.
Je li koji narod promijenio bogove, ako i nijesu bogovi? a moj narod promijeni slavu svoju na stvar zaludnu.
12 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, Yea, be frightened, be greatly wasted, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Èudite se tome, nebesa, i zgrozite se i upropastite se! veli Gospod.
13 For two evils hath My people done, Me they have forsaken, a fountain of living waters, To hew out for themselves wells — broken wells, That contain not the waters.
Jer dva zla uèini moj narod: ostaviše mene, izvor žive vode, i iskopaše sebi studence, studence isprovaljivane, koji ne mogu da drže vode.
14 A servant [is] Israel? Is he a child of the house? Wherefore hath he been for a prey?
Je li Izrailj rob? je li rob u kuæi roðen? zašto posta grabež?
15 Against him roar do young lions, They have given forth their voice, And make his land become a desolation, His cities have been burnt without inhabitant.
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 sons of Noph and Tahapanes Consume thee — the crown of the head!
I sinovi Nofski i Tafneski opasoše ti tjeme.
17 Dost thou not do this to thyself? [By] thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, At the time He is leading thee in the way?
Nijesi li to sam sebi uèinio ostaviv Gospoda Boga svojega kad te voðaše putem?
18 And now, what — to thee in the way of Egypt, To drink the waters of Sihor? And what — to thee in the way of Asshur, To drink the waters of the River?
A sada što æe ti put Misirski da piješ vode Siorske? što li æe ti put Asirski da piješ vode iz rijeke?
19 Instruct thee doth thy wickedness, And thy backslidings reprove thee, Know and see that an evil and a bitter thing [Is] thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, And My fear not being on thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah 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 from of old thou hast broken thy yoke, Drawn away thy bands, and sayest, 'I do not serve,' For, on every high height, and under every green tree, Thou art wandering — a harlot.
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 And I planted thee a choice vine, wholly a true seed, And how hast thou been turned to Me, To the degenerate shoots of a strange vine?
Ja te posadih lozu izabranu, sve sjeme istinito; pa kako mi se promijeni i izmetnu se odvoda od tuðe loze?
22 But though thou dost wash with nitre, And dost multiply to thyself soap, Marked is thine iniquity before Me, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Da se izmiješ salitrom i uzmeš mnogo sapuna, opet æe se poznavati bezakonje tvoje preda mnom, veli Gospod Gospod.
23 How sayest thou, 'I have not been defiled, After the Baalim I have not gone?' See thy way in a valley, know what thou hast done, A swift dromedary winding her ways,
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 ass accustomed to a wilderness, In the desire of her soul she hath swallowed up wind, Her meeting — who doth turn her back? None seeking her do weary themselves, In her month they 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 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, And thy throat from thirst, And thou sayest, 'It is incurable, No, for I have loved strangers, and after them I go.'
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 As the shame of a thief when he is found, So put to shame have been the house of Israel, They, their kings, their heads, And their priests, and their 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 Saying to wood, 'My father [art] thou!' And to a stone, 'Thou hast brought me forth,' For they turned unto me the back and not the face, And in the time of their vexation, They say, 'Arise Thou, 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 And where [are] thy gods, that thou hast made to thyself? Let them arise, if they may save thee, In the time of thy vexation, For — the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O 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 Why do ye strive with Me? All of you have transgressed against Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Zašto hoæete da se pravdate sa mnom? vi ste se svi odmetnuli od mene, veli Gospod.
30 In vain I have smitten your sons, Instruction they have not accepted, Devoured hath your sword your prophets, As a destroying lion.
Uzalud bih sinove vaše, ne primiše nauke; maè vaš proždrije proroke vaše kao lav koji davi.
31 O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah: A wilderness have I been to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Wherefore have My people said, 'We mourned, We come not in again unto Thee.'
O rode! vidite rijeè Gospodnju; bijah li pustinja Izrailju ili mraèna zemlja? zašto govori moj narod: gospodari smo, neæemo više doæi k tebi?
32 Doth a virgin forget her ornaments? A bride her bands? And My people have forgotten Me days without number.
Zaboravlja li djevojka svoj nakit i nevjesta ures svoj? a narod moj zaboravi me toliko dana da im nema broja.
33 What — dost thou make pleasing thy ways to seek love? Therefore even the wicked thou hast taught thy ways.
Zašto govoriš da je dobar tvoj put tražeæi što ljubiš? pa si i nevaljale žene nauèio svojim putovima.
34 Also in thy skirts hath been found the blood of innocent needy souls, Not by digging have I found them, but upon all these.
I jošte na skutovima tvojim nalazi se krv siromaha pravijeh; ne nalazim kopajuæi, nego je na svjema njima.
35 And thou sayest, 'Because I have been innocent, Surely turned back hath His anger from me?' Lo, I have been judged with thee, Because of thy saying, '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 What? thou art very vile to repeat thy way, Even of Egypt thou art ashamed, As thou hast been ashamed of Asshur,
Zašto trèkaš tako mijenjajuæi svoj put? Posramiæeš se od Misirca kako si se posramio od Asirca.
37 Also from this thou goest out, And thy hands on thy head, For Jehovah hath kicked at thy confidences, And thou dost not give prosperity to them!
Otiæi æeš i odatle s rukama nad glavom svojom, jer Gospod odbacuje uzdanice tvoje, i neæeš biti sreæan u njima.
