Jeremiah 4
1 If thou dost turn back, O Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, unto Me turn back, And if thou dost turn aside Thine abominations from My face, Then thou dost not bemoan.
Ako æeš se vratiti, Izrailju, veli Gospod, k meni se vrati, i ako ukloniš gadove svoje ispred mene, neæeš se skitati.
2 And thou hast sworn — Jehovah liveth, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him have nations, And in Him they boast themselves.
I kleæeš se istinito, vjerno i pravo: tako da je živ Gospod. I narodi æe se blagosiljati njim, i njim æe se hvaliti.
3 For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.
Jer ovako veli Gospod Judejcima i Jerusalimljanima: orite sebi krèevinu, i ne sijte u trnje.
4 Be circumcised to Jehovah, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury go out as fire, and hath burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
Obrežite se Gospodu, i skinite okrajak sa srca svojega, Judejci i Jerusalimljani, da ne izide jarost moja kao oganj i razgori se da ne bude nikoga ko bi ugasio za zla djela vaša.
5 Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound, And say ye, 'Blow a trumpet in the land,' Call ye fully, and say ye: 'Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced city.'
Objavite u Judeji i oglasite u Jerusalimu i recite: trubite u trubu po zemlji; vièite, sazovite narod i recite: skupite se, i uðimo u tvrde gradove.
6 Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction.
Podignite zastavu prema Sionu, bježite i ne stajte, jer æu dovesti zlo od sjevera i pogibao veliku.
7 Gone up hath a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations hath journeyed, He hath come forth from his place To make thy land become a desolation, Thy cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.
Izlazi lav iz èeste svoje i koji zatire narode krenuvši se ide s mjesta svojega da obrati zemlju tvoju u pustoš, gradovi tvoji da se raskopaju da ne bude nikoga u njima.
8 For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us.
Zato pripašite kostrijet, plaèite i ridajte, jer se žestoki gnjev Gospodnji nije odvratio od nas.
9 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah: 'Perish doth the heart of the king, And the heart of the princes, And astonished have been the priests, And the prophets do wonder.'
I tada æe, veli Gospod, nestati srca caru i srca knezovima, i sveštenici æe se udiviti i proroci æe se zaèuditi.
10 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, Surely thou hast entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is for you, And struck hath a sword unto the soul!'
I rekoh: ah Gospode Gospode! baš si prevario ovaj narod i Jerusalim govoreæi: imaæete mir, a maè doðe do duše.
11 At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: 'A dry wind of high places in the wilderness,' The way of the daughter of My people, (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing, )
U to æe se vrijeme kazati ovome narodu i Jerusalimu: vjetar vruæ s visokih mjesta u pustinji duva ka kæeri naroda mojega, ne da provije ni proèisti.
12 A full wind from these doth come for Me, Now, also, I speak judgments with them.
Vjetar jaèi od tijeh doæi æe mi; i ja æu im sada izreæi sud.
13 Lo, as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses, Woe to us, for we have been spoiled.
Gle, kao oblak podiže se, i kola su mu kao vihor, konji su mu brži od orlova. Teško nama! propadosmo.
14 Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength?
Umij srce svoje oda zla, Jerusalime, da bi se izbavio; dokle æe stajati u tebi misli tvoje ništave?
15 For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from mount Ephraim.
Jer glas javlja od Dana, i oglašuje zlo od gore Jefremove.
16 Make ye mention to the nations, Lo, sound ye to Jerusalem: 'Besiegers are coming from the land afar off, And they give forth against cities of Judah their voice.
Kazujte narodima; evo oglašujte za Jerusalim da idu stražari iz daljne zemlje, i puštaju glas svoj na gradove Judine.
17 As the keepers of a field They have been against her round about, For with Me she hath been rebellious, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
Kao èuvari poljski staæe oko njega, jer se odmetnu od mene, veli Gospod.
18 Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This [is] thy vexation, for [it is] bitter, For it hath struck unto thy heart.
Put tvoj i djela tvoja to ti uèiniše; to je od zla tvojega da je gorko i da ti dopire do srca.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [at] the walls of my heart, Make a noise for me doth My heart, I am not silent, For the voice of a trumpet I have heard, O my soul — a shout of battle!
Jaoh utroba, jaoh utroba! boli me u srcu; srce mi bije; ne mogu muèati; jer glas trubni èuješ, dušo moja, viku ubojnu.
20 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For spoiled hath been all the land, Suddenly spoiled have been my tents, In a moment — my curtains.
Pogibao na pogibao oglašuje se; jer se pustoši sva zemlja, najedanput æe se opustošiti moji šatori, zavjesi moji zaèas.
21 Till when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a trumpet?
Dokle æu gledati zastavu? slušati glas trubni?
22 For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.
Jer je narod moj bezuman, ne poznaje me, ludi su sinovi i bez razuma, mudri su da zlo èine, a dobro èiniti ne umiju.
23 I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not.
Pogledah na zemlju, a gle bez oblièja je i pusta; i na nebo, a svjetlosti njegove nema.
24 I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.
Pogledah na gore, a gle, tresu se i svi humovi drmaju se.
25 I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled.
Pogledah, a gle, nema èovjeka, i sve ptice nebeske odletjele.
26 I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Jehovah, Because of the fierceness of His anger.
Pogledah, a gle, Karmil je pustinja i svi gradovi njegovi oboreni od Gospoda, od žestokoga gnjeva njegova.
27 For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not.
Jer ovako govori Gospod: sva æe zemlja opustjeti; ali neæu sasvijem zatrti.
28 For this doth the land mourn, And black have been the heavens above, because I have spoken — I have purposed, And I have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it.
Zato æe tužiti zemlja, i nebo æe gore potamnjeti, jer rekoh, namislih, i neæu se raskajati, niti æu udariti natrag.
29 From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, all the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And on cliffs they have gone up, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.
Od vike konjika i strijelaca pobjeæi æe svi gradovi, otiæi æe u guste šume i na stijene æe se popeti; svi æe gradovi biti ostavljeni i niko neæe u njima živjeti.
30 And thou, O spoiled one, what dost thou? For thou puttest on scarlet, For thou adornest thyself [with] ornaments of gold. For thou rendest with pain thine eyes, In vain thou dost make thyself fair, Kicked against thee have doting ones, Thy life they do seek.
A ti, opustošena, šta æeš èiniti? Ako se i oblaèiš u skerlet, ako se i kitiš nakitom zlatnijem, i mažeš lice svoje, zaludu se krasiš, preziru te milosnici, traže dušu tvoju.
31 For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands, 'Woe to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!'
Jer èujem glas kao porodiljin, cviljenje kao žene koja se prvi put poraða, glas kæeri Sionske, koja rida, pruža ruke svoje govoreæi: teško meni! jer mi nestaje duše od ubilaca.
