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 Yahweh unto me, Though Moses and Samuel should stand before me, My soul could not be toward this people, —Send them away from before me 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 when they say unto thee Whither shall we go? Then shalt, thou say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh—Such as are for death, to death, and Such as are for the sword, to the sword, and Such as are for famine, to the famine, and Such as are for captivity, to 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 set in charge over them—four species Declareth Yahweh, The sword to slay, and The dogs to trail along, —and The bird of the heavens and The beast of the earth to devour and to 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 make them a terror, to all the kingdoms of the earth, —On account of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah, For what 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? And who shall lament for thee? And who shall turn aside, to ask for thy welfare?
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 abandoned, me, Declareth Yahweh, Backward, thou wilt go, Therefore have I stretched forth my hand against thee and laid thee waste, —I am weary of having compassion.
7 Zato æu ih izvijati vijaèom na vratima zemaljskim, uèiniæu ih sirotima, potræu narod svoj, jer se ne vraæaju s putova svojih.
Therefore have I winnowed them with a winnowing shovel in the gates of the land, —I have bereaved—I have destroyed my people, From their own ways, have they not returned.
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 have become multiplied to me, beyond the sand of the seas, I have brought against them—upon the mother of young men—the spoiler in the broad noon, —I have let fall upon her suddenly, excitement and terrors.
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.
Languisheth! she who had given birth to seven, She hath breathed out her life Her sun hath gone in, while yet it was day, She hath turned pale and hath turned red, —And the remnant of them, to the sword, will I deliver before their enemies, Declareth Yahweh.
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 to me! my mother, That thou didst bear me, A man of litigation and a man of contention to all the land, —I have not lent on interest Nor have they lent on interest to me, Every one, hath treated me with contempt.
11 Gospod reèe: doista, ostatku æe tvojemu biti dobro, i braniæu te od neprijatelja, kad budeš u nevolji i u tjeskobi.
Said Yahweh, —Verily, I will loose thee, for good! Verily, I will intercede for thee In the time of calamity, and In the time of distress with the enemy!
12 Eda li æe gvožðe slomiti gvožðe sjeverno i mjed?
Shall iron crush the iron from the North and the bronze?
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—for a prey, will I give, without price, —Even for all thy sins and in all thy bounds:
14 I odvešæu te s neprijateljima tvojim u zemlju koje ne poznaješ, jer se raspalio oganj od gnjeva mojega, i gorjeæe nad vama.
Therefore will I make thee pass, with thine enemies into a land thou knowest not, —For, a fire, hath been kindled in mine anger Upon you, shall it burn.
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.
Thou knowest—O Yahweh Remember me and visit me and avenge me upon my persecutors, Do not of thy longsuffering, take me away, —Know—I have borne for thy sake, reproach.
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, Then became thy words unto me the joy and gladness of my heart, —For thy Name hath been called upon me, O Yahweh 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 circle of mockers, Nor became I uproarious, —Because of thy hand, by myself did I sit, For with indignation, hadst thou filled me.
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?
Wherefore hath my pain become perpetual? And my wound, incurable? Refuseth to be healed? Wilt thou, indeed be, to me [As a brook] that disappointeth, Waters that cannot be trusted?
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.
Wherefore Thus, saith Yahweh—If thou wouldst return, I will cause thee to return Before me, shalt thou stand, Yea if thou wilt bring out the precious from among the vile, As mine own mouth shalt thou be, —Let them return unto thee, But thou, shalt not return 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.
So will I make thee to this people a wall of bronze, fortified, When they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee, —For with thee, am, I, to save thee and to deliver thee, Declareth Yahweh;
21 I izbaviæu te iz ruku zlijeh ljudi, i iskupiæu te iz ruku nasilnièkih.
Thus will I deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, —And redeem thee out of the grasp of the tyrants.
