Jeremija 15

1 I reèe mi Gospod: da stane Mojsije i Samuilo preda me, ne bi se duša moja obratila k tome narodu; otjeraj ih ispred mene, i neka odlaze.

Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.

2 I ako ti reku: kuda æemo iæi? tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: ko je za smrt, na smrt; ko je za maè, pod maè; ko za glad, na glad; ko za ropstvo, u ropstvo.

And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.

3 I pustiæu na njih èetvoro, govori Gospod: maè, da ih ubija, i pse, da ih razvlaèe, i ptice nebeske i zvijeri zemaljske, da ih jedu i istrijebe.

And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

4 I daæu ih da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim radi Manasije sina Jezekijina cara Judina za ono što je uèinio u Jerusalimu.

And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for [that] which he did in Jerusalem.

5 Jer ko bi se smilovao na tebe, Jerusalime? ko li bi te požalio? ko li bi došao da zapita kako ti je?

For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

6 Ti si me ostavio, govori Gospod, otišao si natrag; zato æu mahnuti rukom svojom na te i pogubiæu te; dosadi mi žaliti.

Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

7 Zato æu ih izvijati vijaèom na vratima zemaljskim, uèiniæu ih sirotima, potræu narod svoj, jer se ne vraæaju s putova svojih.

And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways.

8 Više æe mi biti udovica njegovijeh nego pijeska morskoga, dovešæu im na majke momaèke zatiraèe u podne, i pustiæu iznenada na njih smetnju i strahotu.

Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

9 Iznemoæi æe koja je rodila sedmoro i ispustiæe dušu, sunce æe joj zaæi još za dana, sramiæe se i stidjeæe se, a ostatak æu njihov dati pod maè pred neprijateljima njihovijem, govori Gospod.

She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

10 Teško meni, majko moja, što si me rodila da se sa mnom prepire i da se sa mnom svaða sva zemlja; ne davah u zajam niti mi davaše u zajam, i opet me svi proklinju.

Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.

11 Gospod reèe: doista, ostatku æe tvojemu biti dobro, i braniæu te od neprijatelja, kad budeš u nevolji i u tjeskobi.

The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

12 Eda li æe gvožðe slomiti gvožðe sjeverno i mjed?

Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

13 Imanje tvoje i blago tvoje daæu da se razgrabi bez cijene po svijem meðama tvojim, i to za sve grijehe tvoje.

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

14 I odvešæu te s neprijateljima tvojim u zemlju koje ne poznaješ, jer se raspalio oganj od gnjeva mojega, i gorjeæe nad vama.

And I will make [thee] to pass with thine enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, [which] shall burn upon you.

15 Ti znaš, Gospode, opomeni me se i pohodi me i osveti me od onijeh koji me gone; nemoj me zgrabiti dokle se ustežeš od gnjeva; znaj da podnosim rug tebe radi.

O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

16 Kad se naðoše rijeèi tvoje, pojedoh ih, i rijeè tvoja bi mi radost i veselje srcu mojemu, jer je ime tvoje prizvano na me, Gospode Bože nad vojskama.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

17 Ne sjedim u vijeæu potsmjevaèkom niti se s njima veselim; sjedim sam radi ruke tvoje, jer si me napunio srdnje.

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

18 Zašto bol moj jednako traje? i zašto je rana moja smrtna, te neæe da se iscijeli? Hoæeš li mi biti kao varalica, kao voda nepostojana?

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?

19 Zato ovako veli Gospod: ako se obratiš, ja æu te opet postaviti da stojiš preda mnom, ako odvojiš što je dragocjeno od rðavoga, biæeš kao usta moja; oni neka se obrate k tebi, a ti se ne obraæaj k njima.

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

20 I uèiniæu da budeš tome narodu kao jak zid mjeden, i udaraæe na te, ali te neæe nadvladati; jer sam ja s tobom da te èuvam i izbavljam, govori Gospod.

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

21 I izbaviæu te iz ruku zlijeh ljudi, i iskupiæu te iz ruku nasilnièkih.

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
