Jeremija 9
1 O, da bi glava moja bila voda, a oèi moje izvori suzni! da plaèem danju i noæu za pobijenima kæeri naroda svojega.
Oh that my head were waters, And mine eyes a fountain of tears, —That I might weep day and night, For the slain of the daughter of my people!
2 O, da mi je u pustinji stanak putnièki! da ostavim narod svoj i da otidem od njih, jer su svi preljuboèinci, zbor nevjernièki;
Oh that I had in the wilderness, a wayfarers’ lodge, That I might leave my people, and go from them, —For they all, are Adulterers, An assemblage of traitors;
3 I zapinju jezik svoj kao luk da lažu, i osiliše na zemlji, ali ne za istinu, nego idu iz zla u zlo, niti znaju za me, govori Gospod.
Who have prepared their tongue as their bow of falsehood, And, not by faithfulness, have they become mighty in the land, —For from wickedness unto wickedness, have they gone forth, But me, have they not known, Declareth Yahweh.
4 Èuvajte se svaki prijatelja svojega i nijednome bratu ne vjerujte; jer svaki brat radi da potkine drugoga, i svaki prijatelj ide te opada.
Every one, of his neighbour, beware ye, And in no brother, may ye trust, —For, every brother, supplanteth! And every neighbour, as a tale-bearer, goeth about;
5 I svaki vara prijatelja svojega i ne govori istine, uèe jezik svoj da govori laž, muèe se da èine zlo.
Yea, every one, of his neighbour, maketh a dupe, And, truth, they do not speak, —They have taught their tongue to speak falsehood, In acting perversely, they have wearied themselves.
6 Stan ti je usred prijevare; radi prijevare neæe da znaju za me, govori Gospod.
Thy dwelling, is in the midst of deceit, —Through deceit, have they rejected the knowledge of, me, Declareth Yahweh.
7 Zato ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: gle, pretopiæu ih, i okušaæu ih; jer što bih èinio radi kæeri naroda svojega?
Therefore, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! melting them, so will I try them, —For how else should I do because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people?
8 Jezik im je strijela smrtna, govori prijevaru; ustima govore o miru s prijateljem svojim, a u srcu namještaju zasjedu.
A pointed arrow, is their tongue Deceit, hath it spoken, —With his mouth peace unto his neighbour, doth one speak, But within himself, he layeth his ambush.
9 Zato li ih neæu pohoditi? govori Gospod; duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
For these things, shall I not bring punishment on them? Demandeth Yahweh, —On a nation such as this, must not my soul avenge herself!
10 Za ovijem gorama udariæu u plaè i u ridanje, i za torovima u pustinji u naricanje; jer izgorješe da niko ne prolazi niti se èuje glas od stada, i ptice nebeske i stoka pobjegoše i otidoše.
Over the mountains, will I take up a weeping and wailing, And over the oases of the desert, a dirge, For they have been burned, so that no man passeth through, Neither have men heard the lowing of cattle, —Both the bird of the heavens and the beast have fled, have gone their way:
11 I obratiæu Jerusalim u gomilu, u stan zmajevski; i gradove Judine obratiæu u pustoš, da neæe niko onuda živjeti.
Thus will I give up Jerusalem To heaps, A habitation for jackals, —And the cities of Judah, will I give up to desolation, without inhabitant.
12 Ko je mudar da bi razumio? i komu govoriše usta Gospodnja, da bi objavio zašto zemlja propade i izgorje kao pustinja da niko ne prolazi?
Who, is the man that is wise That he may discern this? And, unto whom, hath the mouth of Yahweh spoken, That he may declare it? For what cause Hath the land perished, Hath it been burned as a wilderness that no man passeth through?
13 Jer Gospod reèe: što ostaviše zakon moj, koji metnuh pred njih, i ne slušaše glasa mojega i ne hodiše za njim,
Then said Yahweh, —Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, —And have not hearkened to hay voice neither walked therein;
14 Nego hodiše za mislima srca svojega i za Valima, èemu ih nauèiše oci njihovi,
But have gone their way, After the stubbornness of their own heart, —And after the Baals which their fathers taught them,
15 Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo ja æu nahraniti taj narod pelenom i napojiæu ih žuèi.
Therefore, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts, The God of Israel, Behold me! Feeding them, even this people, with wormwood, —And I will cause them to drink, poisoned water;
16 I rasijaæu ih meðu narode, kojih ne poznavaše ni oni ni oci njihovi; i puštaæu za njima maè dokle ih ne istrijebim.
And will scatter them among the nations, which neither they nor their fathers, have known, —And will send after them the sword, until I have consumed them.
17 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: gledajte i zovite narikaèe neka doðu, i pošljite po vješte neka doðu,
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Consider ye diligently and call for the wailing women that they may come, —And unto the wise women, send ye, that they may come;
18 I neka brže narièu za nama, da se rone suze od oèiju naših, i od vjeða naših da teèe voda.
Yea let them make haste, and lift up over us a wailing, —That our eyes, may run down, with tears, And, our eyelashes, stream down with water; —
19 Jer se glasno ridanje èu od Siona: kako propadosmo! posramismo se vrlo, jer se rastavljasmo sa zemljom, jer obaraju stanove naše.
Yea, a voice of wailing, hath been heard out of Zion How are we ruined! We have turned very pale For we have left the land, For they have cast down our habitations.
20 Zato, žene, èujte rijeè Gospodnju i neka primi uho vaše rijeè usta njegovijeh, i uèite kæeri svoje ridati i jedna drugu naricati.
For hear O ye women the word of Yahweh, And let your ear take in the word of his mouth, —And teach your daughters a wail, Yea each woman—her neighbour, a dirge: —
21 Jer se pope smrt na prozore naše i uðe u dvorove naše da istrijebi djecu s ulica i mladiæe s putova.
That death Hath come up through our windows, Hath entered our palaces, —Cutting off The boy from the street, The young men from the broadways.
22 Reci: ovako govori Gospod: i mrtva æe tjelesa ljudska ležati kao gnoj po njivi i kao rukoveti za žeteocem, kojih niko ne kupi.
Speak thou, Thus, declareth Yahweh, So shall fall the dead bodies of men, Like dung heaps on the face of the field, —And like swaths after the harvestman, With none to gather.
23 Ovako veli Gospod: mudri da se ne hvali mudrošæu svojom, ni jaki da se ne hvali snagom svojom, ni bogati da se ne hvali bogatstvom svojim.
Thus, saith Yahweh Let not, the wise man, glory in his wisdom, Neither let, the mighty man, glory, in his might, —Let not, the rich man, glory in his riches;
24 Nego ko se hvali, neka se hvali tijem što razumije i poznaje mene da sam ja Gospod koji èinim milost i sud i pravdu na zemlji, jer mi je to milo, govori Gospod.
But, in this, let the glorying one glory—In having intelligence and in knowing me, That, I, am Yahweh, Executing lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, —That in these things, I delight Declareth Yahweh.
25 Eto, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad æu pohoditi sve, obrezane i neobrezane,
Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —When I will bring punishment upon every one circumcised, With him that is uncircumcised:
26 Misirce i Judejce i Edomce i sinove Amonove i Moavce i sve koji se s kraja strigu, koji žive u pustinji; jer su svi ti narodi neobrezani, i sav je dom Izrailjev neobrezana srca.
Upon Egypt and upon Judah, And upon Edom, and upon the sons of Ammon, And upon Moab, And upon all the clipped beards, The dwellers in the desert, —For, all the nations, are uncircumcised, And, all the house of Israel, are uncircumcised in heart.
