Jeremija 13
1 Ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi i kupi sebi pojas lanen i opaši se njim, a ne meæi ga u vodu.
Yahweh said this to me, “Go and buy a linen undergarment and put it on around your waist, but do not put it in water first.”
2 Tako kupih pojas po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i opasah se njim.
So I bought an undergarment as Yahweh directed, and I put in on around my waist.
3 Potom doðe mi opet rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
4 Uzmi taj pojas što si kupio, što je oko tebe, pa se digni i idi na Efrat, i sakrij ga ondje u kaku rasjelinu kamenu.
“Take the undergarment that you purchased that is around your waist, get up and go now to Perath. Hide it there in a rock crevice.”
5 I otidoh i sakrih ga kod Efrata, kako mi zapovjedi Gospod.
So I went and hid it in Perath, just as Yahweh had commanded me.
6 A poslije mnogo vremena reèe mi Gospod: ustani i idi na Efrat, i uzmi pojas koji ti zapovjedih da sakriješ ondje.
After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Get up and go back to Perath. Take from there the undergarment that I had told you to hide.”
7 I otidoh na Efrat i otkopah i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio; a gle, pojas otruhnuo, i ne bješe ni za što.
So I went back to Perath and dug out the undergarment where I had hid it, and behold, it was destroyed and completely useless.
8 Tada mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
9 Ovako veli Gospod: tako æu uèiniti da otruhne ponos Judin i veliki ponos Jerusalimski,
“Yahweh says this: In the same way I will destroy the great arrogance of Judah and Jerusalem.
10 Toga naroda nevaljaloga, što neæe da sluša mojih rijeèi, što hodi po mislima srca svojega i ide za drugim bogovima služeæi im i klanjajuæi im se; i biæe kao taj pojas, koji nije ni za što.
This wicked people who refuses to listen to my word, who walk in the hardness of their heart, who go after other gods to worship them and bow down to them—they will be like this undergarment that is good for nothing.
11 Jer kako se pojas pripoji oko èovjeka, tako bijah pripojio oko sebe sav dom Izrailjev i sav dom Judin, veli Gospod, da bi bili moj narod na slavu i hvalu i diku; ali ne poslušaše.
For just as an undergarment clings to someone's hips, so I have made all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah cling to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—to be my people, to bring me fame, praise, and honor. But they would not listen to me.
12 Zato im reci ovu rijeè: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: svi se mjehovi pune vina. A oni æe reæi: zar ne znamo da se svi mjehovi pune vina?
So you must speak this word to them, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Every jar will be filled with wine.' They will say to you, 'Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?'
13 Tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu napuniti pjanosti sve stanovnike ove zemlje i careve, koji sjede mjesto Davida na prijestolu njegovu, i sveštenike i proroke i sve stanovnike Jerusalimske.
So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to fill with drunkenness every inhabitant of this land, the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
14 I razbiæu ih jednoga o drugoga, i oceve i sinove, veli Gospod; neæu požaliti ni poštedjeti niti se smilovati, da ih ne potrem.
Then I will smash each man against the other, fathers and children together—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not pity them or have compassion, and I will not spare them from destruction.'”
15 Slušajte i èujte, nemojte se ponositi, jer Gospod govori.
Listen and pay attention. Do not be arrogant, for Yahweh had spoken.
16 Dajte slavu Gospodu Bogu svojemu dok nije spustio mrak, dokle se nijesu spotakle noge vaše po gorama mraènijem, da èekate svjetlost a on je obrati u sjen smrtni i pretvori u tamu.
Give honor to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before he causes your feet to stumble on the mountains at twilight. For you are hoping for light, but he will turn the place into a deep darkness, into a dark cloud.
17 Ako li ovo ne poslušate, duša æe moja plakati tajno radi oholosti vaše i roniti suze, suze æe teæi iz oka mojega, jer æe se zarobiti stado Gospodnje.
So if you will not listen, I will weep alone because of your arrogance. My eyes will certainly weep and flow with tears, for Yahweh's flock has been taken captive.
18 Reci caru i carici: dolje sjedite, jer æe se slavni vijenac vaš skinuti s vaše glave.
“Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Come down from your thrones, for your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.'
19 Gradovi južni zatvoriæe se i neæe biti nikoga da ih otvori, odvešæe se Juda u ropstvo, sasvijem æe se odvesti u ropstvo.
The cities in the Negev will be shut up, with no one to open them. All Judah will be taken captive, completely taken captive.
20 Podignite oèi svoje i vidite one što idu od sjevera. Gdje je stado što ti je predano, stado slave tvoje?
Lift up your eyes and look at the ones coming from the north. Where is the flock he gave to you, the flock that was so beautiful to you?
21 Šta æeš reæi kad te pohodi? Jer si ih ti nauèio da budu knezovi nad tobom. Neæe li te spopasti bolovi kao ženu kad se poraða?
What will you say when God sets over you those you had trained to be your special allies? Are these not the beginnings of the labor pains that will seize you just like a woman in childbirth?
22 Ako li reèeš u srcu svom: zašto me to zadesi? za mnoštvo bezakonja tvojega uzgrnuæe se skuti tvoji i obuæa ti se skinuti.
Then you might say in your heart, 'Why are these things happening to me?' It will be for the multitude of your iniquities that your skirts are raised up and you have been violated.
23 Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju ili ris šare svoje? možete li vi èiniti dobro nauèivši se èiniti zlo?
Can the people of Cush change their skin color, or a leopard change its spots? If so, then you yourself, although accustomed to wickedness, would be able to do good.
24 Zato æu ih razmetnuti kao što razmeæe pljevu vjetar iz pustinje.
So I will scatter them like chaff that perishes in the desert wind.
25 To je dio tvoj i obrok tvoj od mene, govori Gospod, zato što si me zaboravio i pouzdao se u laž.
This is what I have given to you, the portion I have decreed for you—this is Yahweh's declaration— because you have forgotten me and trusted in deceit.
26 Zato æu ti ja uzgrnuti skute na lice da se vidi sramota tvoja.
So also I myself will strip your skirts off you, and your private parts will be seen.
27 Preljube tvoje, rzanje tvoje, sramotna kurvarstva tvoja po humovima, po poljima, gadove tvoje vidio sam; teško tebi, Jerusalime! zar se neæeš oèistiti? dokle još?
I have seen your adultery and neighing, the wickedness of your prostitution on the hills and in the fields, and I have seen these detestable things! Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long until you are made clean again?”
