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 my 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 lodging-place of way-faring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they [are] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
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.
And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
4 Èuvajte se svaki prijatelja svojega i nijednome bratu ne vjerujte; jer svaki brat radi da potkine drugoga, i svaki prijatelj ide te opada.
Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders.
5 I svaki vara prijatelja svojega i ne govori istine, uèe jezik svoj da govori laž, muèe se da èine zlo.
And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Stan ti je usred prijevare; radi prijevare neæe da znaju za me, govori Gospod.
Thy habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
7 Zato ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: gle, pretopiæu ih, i okušaæu ih; jer što bih èinio radi kæeri naroda svojega?
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for 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.
Their tongue [is as] an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: [one] speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
9 Zato li ih neæu pohoditi? govori Gospod; duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
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.
For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast have fled; they are gone.
11 I obratiæu Jerusalim u gomilu, u stan zmajevski; i gradove Judine obratiæu u pustoš, da neæe niko onuda živjeti.
And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an 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 wise man that may understand this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth [and] is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
13 Jer Gospod reèe: što ostaviše zakon moj, koji metnuh pred njih, i ne slušaše glasa mojega i ne hodiše za njim,
And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14 Nego hodiše za mislima srca svojega i za Valima, èemu ih nauèiše oci njihovi,
But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, 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 the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, [even] this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I rasijaæu ih meðu narode, kojih ne poznavaše ni oni ni oci njihovi; i puštaæu za njima maè dokle ih ne istrijebim.
I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
17 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: gledajte i zovite narikaèe neka doðu, i pošljite po vješte neka doðu,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for skillful [women], 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.
And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19 Jer se glasno ridanje èu od Siona: kako propadosmo! posramismo se vrlo, jer se rastavljasmo sa zemljom, jer obaraju stanove naše.
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we laid waste! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out.
20 Zato, žene, èujte rijeè Gospodnju i neka primi uho vaše rijeè usta njegovijeh, i uèite kæeri svoje ridati i jedna drugu naricati.
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 Jer se pope smrt na prozore naše i uðe u dvorove naše da istrijebi djecu s ulica i mladiæe s putova.
For death hath come up into our windows, [and] hath entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, [and] the young men from the streets.
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, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvest-man, and none shall gather [them].
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 the LORD, 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 let him that glorieth, glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD who exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD.
25 Eto, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad æu pohoditi sve, obrezane i neobrezane,
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all [them who are] circumcised with the 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.
Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all [that are] in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all [these] nations [are] uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in the heart.
