Jeremija 18
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreæi:
The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Ustani, i siði u kuæu lonèarevu, i ondje æu ti kazati rijeèi svoje.
Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
3 Tada siðoh u kuæu lonèarevu, i gle, on raðaše posao na svom kolu.
Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
4 I pokvari se u ruci lonèaru sud koji graðaše od kala, pa naèini iznova od njega drugi sud, kako bijaše volja lonèaru da naèini.
And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Tada doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
6 Ne mogu li èiniti od vas kao ovaj lonèar, dome Izrailjev? govori Gospod; gle, što je kao u ruci lonèarevoj, to ste vi u mojoj ruci, dome Izrailjev.
O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
7 Kad bih rekao za narod i za carstvo da ga istrijebim i razorim i zatrem;
I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
8 Ako se obrati narod oda zla, za koje bih rekao, i meni æe biti žao sa zla, koje mišljah da mu uèinim.
But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
9 A kad bih rekao za narod i za carstvo da ga sazidam i nasadim;
And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
10 Ako uèini što je zlo preda mnom ne slušajuæi glasa mojega, i meni æe biti žao dobra koje rekoh da mu uèinim.
But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
11 Zato sada reci Judejcima i Jerusalimljanima govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod: evo spremam na vas zlo, i mislim misli na vas; vratite se dakle svaki sa svojega puta zloga, i popravite putove svoje i djela svoja.
Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
12 A oni rekoše: nema ništa od toga, nego æemo iæi za svojim mislima i èiniæemo svaki po misli srca svojega zloga.
But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
13 Zato ovako govori Gospod: pitajte po narodima je li ko èuo tako što? grdilo veliko uèini djevojka Izrailjeva.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
14 Ostavlja li snijeg Livanski sa stijene moja polja? ostavljaju li se vode studene, koje teku?
Will a man forsake the snowe of Lebanon, which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
15 A narod moj mene zaboravi, kadi taštini, i spotièu se na svojim putovima, na starijem stazama, da hode stazama puta neporavnjena,
Because my people hath forgotten me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
16 Da bih obratio zemlju njihovu u pustoš, na vjeènu sramotu, da se èudi ko god proðe preko nje i maše glavom svojom.
To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
17 Kao ustokom razmetnuæu ih pred neprijateljem; leða a ne lice pokazaæu im u nevolji njihovoj.
I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
18 A oni rekoše: hodite da smislimo što Jeremiji, jer neæe nestati zakona svešteniku ni svjeta mudarcu ni rijeèi proroku; hodite ubijmo ga jezikom i ne pazimo na rijeèi njegove.
Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
19 Pazi na me, Gospode, i èuj glas mojih protivnika.
Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
20 Eda li æe se zlo vratiti za dobro, kad mi kopaju jamu? Opomeni se da sam stajao pred tobom govoreæi za njihovo dobro, da bih odvratio gnjev tvoj od njih.
Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
21 Zato predaj sinove njihove gladi i uèini da izginu od maèa, i žene njihove da budu sirote i udove, i muževi njihovi da se pogube, mladiæe njihove da pobije maè u boju.
Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
22 Neka se èuje vika iz kuæa njihovijeh, kad dovedeš na njih vojsku iznenada; jer iskopaše jamu da me uhvate, i zamke namjestiše nogama mojim.
Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
23 A ti, Gospode, znaš sve što su naumili meni da me ubiju, nemoj im oprostiti bezakonja ni grijeha njihova izbrisati ispred sebe; nego neka popadaju pred tobom, u gnjevu svom radi suprot njima.
Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.
