Jeremija 10
1 Slušajte rijeè koju vam govori Gospod, dome Izrailjev.
Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel.
2 Ovako veli Gospod: ne uèite se putu kojim idu narodi, i od znaka nebeskih ne plašite se, jer se od njih plaše narodi.
Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Jer su uredbe u naroda taština, jer sijeku drvo u šumi, djelo ruku umjetnièkih sjekirom;
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
4 Srebrom i zlatom ukrašuju ga, klinima i èekiæima utvrðuju ga da se ne pomièe;
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
5 Stoje pravo kao palme, ne govore; treba ih nositi, jer ne mogu iæi; ne boj ih se, jer ne mogu zla uèiniti, a ne mogu ni dobra uèiniti.
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Do not be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
6 Niko nije kao ti, Gospode; velik si i veliko je ime tvoje u sili.
"There is none like you, LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Ko se ne bi tebe bojao, care nad narodima! jer tebi to pripada; jer meðu svijem mudarcima u naroda i u svijem carstvima njihovijem nema takoga kakav si ti.
Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
8 Nego su svi ludi i bezumni, drvo je nauka o taštini.
But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols. It is but wood.
9 Srebro kovano donosi se iz Tarsisa i zlato iz Ufaza, djelo umjetnièko i ruku zlatarskih, odijelo im je od porfire i skerleta, sve je djelo umjetnièko.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
10 A Gospod je pravi Bog, Bog živi i car vjeèni, od njegove srdnje trese se zemlja, i gnjeva njegova ne mogu podnijeti narodi.
But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
11 Ovako im recite: bogova, koji nijesu naèinili neba ni zemlje, nestaæe sa zemlje i ispod neba.
You shall say this to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.'
12 On je naèinio zemlju silom svojom, utvrdio vasiljenu mudrošæu svojom, i razumom svojim razastro nebesa;
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
13 On kad pusti glas svoj, buèe vode na nebesima, podiže paru s krajeva zemaljskih, pušta munje s daždem, i izvodi vjetar iz staja njegovijeh.
when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
14 Svaki èovjek posta bezuman od znanja, svaki se zlatar osramoti likom rezanijem, jer su laž liveni likovi njegovi, i nema duha u njima.
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Taština su, djelo prijevarno; kad ih pohodim, poginuæe.
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 Nije taki dio Jakovljev, jer je tvorac svemu, i Izrailj mu je našljedstvo, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama.
The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name."
17 Pokupi iz zemlje trg svoj ti, koja sjediš u gradu.
'Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
18 Jer ovako veli Gospod: gle, ja æu izbaciti kao praæom stanovnike ove zemlje, i pritijesniæu ih da osjete.
For thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.'
19 Teško meni od muke moje, reæi æe; ljuta je rana moja; a ja rekoh: to je bol, treba da ga podnosim.
Woe is me because of my hurt. My wound is grievous: but I said, 'Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.'
20 Moj je šator opustošen i sva uža moja pokidana, sinovi moji otidoše od mene i nema ih, nema više nikoga da razapne šator moj i digne zavjese moje.
My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 Jer pastiri postaše bezumni i Gospoda ne tražiše; zato ne biše sreæni, i sve se stado njihovo rasprša.
For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
22 Gle, ide glas i vreva velika iz sjeverne zemlje da obrati gradove Judine u pustoš, u stan zmajevski.
The voice of news, look, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 Znam, Gospode, da put èovjeèji nije u njegovoj vlasti niti je èovjeku koji hodi u vlasti da upravlja koracima svojim.
LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Karaj me, Gospode, ali s mjerom, ne u gnjevu svom, da me ne bi zatro.
LORD, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Izlij gnjev svoj na narode koji te ne poznaju, i na plemena koja ne prizivlju imena tvojega, jer proždriješe Jakova, proždriješe ga da ga nema, i naselje njegovo opustiše.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."
