Jeremija 8
1 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, izvadiæe se iz grobova kosti careva Judinijeh i kosti knezova njegovijeh i kosti sveštenièke i kosti proroèke, i kosti stanovnika Jerusalimskih;
“At that time,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
2 I razmetnuæe se prema suncu i mjesecu i svoj vojsci nebeskoj, koje ljubiše i kojima služiše i za kojima idoše i koje tražiše i kojima se klanjaše; neæe se pokupiti ni pogrepsti, nego æe biti gnoj po zemlji.
They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshipped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
3 I voljeæe smrt nego život sav ostatak što ih ostane od ovoga roda zloga, što ih ostane po svijem mjestima kuda ih raždenem, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Armies.
4 Još im reci: ovako veli Gospod: ko padne, ne ustaje li? ko zaðe, ne vraæa li se?
“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
5 Zašto je zašao taj narod Jerusalimski zasvagda? Drže se prijevare, neæe da se obrate.
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to deceit. They refuse to return.
6 Pazio sam i slušao, ne govore pravo, nema nikoga da se kaje za zlo svoje, da reèe: što uèinih? Svaki je okrenuo svojim trkom, kao konj kad nagne u boj.
I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
7 I roda pod nebom zna svoje vrijeme, grlica i ždrao i lasta paze na vrijeme kad dolaze; a narod moj ne zna suda Gospodnjega.
Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know the LORD’s law.
8 Kako govorite: mudri smo, i zakon je Gospodnji u nas? Doista, gle, laž uèini lažljiva pisaljka književnièka.
“‘How do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
9 Mudarci se osramotiše, uplašiše se i uhvatiše se; eto, odbaciše rijeè Gospodnju, pa kaka im je mudrost?
The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?
10 Zato æu dati žene njihove drugima, njive njihove onima koji æe ih naslijediti, jer od maloga do velikoga svi se dadoše na lakomstvo, i proroci i sveštenici, svi su varalice.
Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 Jer lijeèe rane kæeri naroda mojega ovlaš govoreæi: mir, mir; a mira nema.
They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
12 Eda li se postidješe što èiniše gad? Niti se postidješe niti znaju za stid; zato æe popadati meðu onima koji padaju; kad ih pohodim, popadaæe, veli Gospod.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall amongst those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the LORD.
13 Sasvijem æu ih istrijebiti, govori Gospod, nema grozda na lozi, ni smokve na drvetu, i lišæe je opalo; i što sam im dao uzeæe im se.
“‘I will utterly consume them, says the LORD. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will pass away from them.’”
14 Što stojimo? skupite se i uðimo u tvrde gradove, i ondje muèimo; jer nas je Gospod Bog naš umuèkao napojivši nas žuèi, jer zgriješismo Gospodu.
“Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Èekasmo mir, ali nema dobra; i vrijeme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
16 Od Dana èu se frkanje konja njegovijeh, od rzanja pastuha njegovijeh sva se zemlja zatrese, doðoše i pojedoše zemlju i sve što bješe u njoj, gradove i koji življahu u njima.
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
17 Jer, evo, ja æu pustiti na vas zmije, aspide, od kojih nema bajanja, te æe vas ujedati, govori Gospod.
“For, behold, I will send serpents, adders amongst you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
18 Okrijepio bih se u žalosti, ali je srce u meni iznemoglo.
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
19 Eto vike kæeri naroda mojega iz daljne zemlje: zar Gospod nije u Sionu? car njegov zar nije u njemu? Zašto me razgnjeviše svojim likovima rezanijem, tuðim taštinama?
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: “Isn’t the LORD in Zion? Isn’t her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
20 Žetva je prošla, ljeto minulo, a mi se ne izbavismo.
“The harvest is past. The summer has ended, and we are not saved.”
21 Satrven sam što je kæi naroda mojega satrvena, u žalosti sam, èudo osvoji me.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of me.
22 Nema li balsama u Galadu? nema li ondje ljekara? zašto se dakle ne iscijeli kæi naroda mojega?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
