Jeremija 14
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji o suši.
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
2 Juda tuži, i vrata su mu žalosna; leže na zemlji u crno zaviti; vika iz Jerusalima podiže se.
Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
3 Najveæi izmeðu njih šalju najmanje na vodu; došavši na studence ne nalaze vode, vraæaju se s praznijem sudovima svojim, stide se i srame se i pokrivaju glavu svoju.
And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads.
4 Zemlja je ispucala, jer ne bješe dažda na zemlji; zato se težaci stide i pokrivaju glavu svoju.
Because of the ground which is cracked, for that no rain hath been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads.
5 I košuta u polju ostavlja mlade svoje, jer nema trave.
Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh [her young], because there is no grass.
6 I divlji magarci stojeæi na visovima vuku u se vjetar kao zmajevi, oèi im išèilješe, jer nema trave.
And the wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
7 Kad bezakonja naša svjedoèe na nas, Gospode, uèini radi imena svojega; jer je mnogo odmeta naših, tebi sagriješismo.
Though our iniquities testify against us, work thou for thy name’s sake, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
8 Nade Izrailjev! spasitelju njegov u nevolji! zašto si kao tuðin u ovoj zemlji i kao putnik koji se uvrati da prenoæi?
O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
9 Zašto si kao umoran èovjek, kao junak, koji ne može izbaviti? Ta, ti si usred nas, Gospode, i ime je tvoje prizvano na nas; nemoj nas ostaviti.
Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
10 Ovako govori Gospod za narod ovaj: milo im je da se skitaju, ne ustavljaju nogu svojih, zato nijesu mili Gospodu; sada æe se opomenuti bezakonja njihova i pohodiæe grijehe njihove.
Thus saith Jehovah unto this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
11 Potom reèe mi Gospod: ne moli se za taj narod da bi mu bilo dobro.
And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for [their] good.
12 Ako æe i postiti, neæu uslišiti vike njihove; i ako æe prinijeti žrtve paljenice i dar, neæe mi to ugoditi, nego maèem i glaðu i pomorom pomoriæu ih.
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
13 Tada rekoh: oh, Gospode Gospode, evo, proroci im govore: neæete vidjeti maèa, i neæe biti gladi u vas, nego æu vam dati mir pouzdan na ovom mjestu.
Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
14 A Gospod mi reèe: laž prorokuju ti proroci u moje ime, nijesam ih poslao, niti sam im zapovjedio, niti sam im govorio; lažne utvare i gatanje i ništavilo i prijevaru srca svojega oni vam prorokuju.
Then Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake I unto them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart.
15 Zato ovako veli Gospod za proroke koji prorokuju u moje ime a ja ih nijesam poslao, i govore: neæe biti maèa ni gladi u ovoj zemlji: od maèa i gladi izginuæe ti proroci.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
16 A narod ovaj kojemu oni prorokuju biæe povaljan po ulicama Jerusalimskim od gladi i maèa, i neæe biti nikoga da ih pogrebe, njih, žene njihove i sinove njihove i kæeri njihove; tako æu izliti na njih zloæu njihovu.
And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them—them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
17 Reci im dakle ovu rijeè: neka oèi moje liju suze danju i noæu i neka ne prestaju, jer djevojka kæi mojega naroda satr se veoma, od udarca preljuta.
And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
18 Ako izidem u polje, eto pobijenijeh maèem; ako uðem u grad, eto iznemoglijeh od gladi; jer i prorok i sveštenik otidoše u zemlju koje ne znaju.
If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.
19 Eda li si sasvijem odbacio Judu? eda li je omrzao duši tvojoj Sion? Zašto si nas udario tako da nam nema lijeka? Èekasmo mir ali nema dobra; i vrijeme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
20 Priznajemo, Gospode, zloæu svoju, bezakonje otaca svojih, zgriješili smo ti.
We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.
21 Nemoj nas odvræi radi imena svojega; nemoj naružiti prijestola slave svoje, opomeni se zavjeta svojega s nama, nemoj ga ukinuti.
Do not abhor [us], for thy name’s sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
22 Ima li meðu taštinama u naroda koji da daje dažd? ili nebesa daju li sitan dažd? Nijesi li ti to, Gospode Bože naš? Zato tebe èekamo, jer ti èiniš sve to.
Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.
