Tužbalice 1
1 Kako sjedi sam, posta kao udovica, grad koji bješe pun naroda! velik meðu narodima, glava meðu zemljama potpade pod danak!
How lonely lies the city, once so full of people! She who was great among the nations has become a widow. The princess of the provinces has become a slave.
2 Jednako plaèe noæu, i suze su mu na obrazima, nema nikoga od svijeh koji ga ljubljahu da ga potješi; svi ga prijatelji njegovi iznevjeriše, postaše mu neprijatelji.
She weeps aloud in the night, with tears upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
3 Iseli se Juda od muke i ljutoga ropstva; sjedi meðu narodima, ne nalazi mira; svi koji ga goniše stigoše ga u tjesnacu.
Judah has gone into exile under affliction and harsh slavery; she dwells among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
4 Putovi Sionski tuže, jer niko ne ide na praznik; sva su vrata njegova pusta, sveštenici njegovi uzdišu, djevojke su njegove žalosne, i sam je jadan.
The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she herself is bitter with anguish.
5 Protivnici njegovi postaše glava, neprijateljima je njegovijem dobro; jer ga Gospod ucvijeli za mnoštvo bezakonja njegova; djeca njegova idu u ropstvo pred neprijateljem.
Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. For the LORD has brought her grief because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the enemy.
6 I otide od kæeri Sionske sva slava njezina; knezovi su njezini kao jeleni koji ne nalaze paše; idu nemoæni pred onijem koji ih goni.
All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; they lack the strength to flee in the face of the hunter.
7 Opominje se Jerusalim u muci svojoj i u jadu svom svijeh milina što je imao od starine, kad pada narod njegov od ruke neprijateljeve a nikoga nema da mu pomože; neprijatelji gledaju ga i smiju se prestanku njegovu.
In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands she received no help. Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall.
8 Teško sagriješi Jerusalim, zato posta kao neèista žena; svi koji su ga poštovali preziru ga, jer vidješe golotinju njegovu; a on uzdiše, i okreæe se natrag.
Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.
9 Neèistota mu bješe na skutovima; nije mislio na kraj svoj; pao je za èudo a nema nikoga da ga potješi. Pogledaj, Gospode, muku moju, jer se neprijatelj ponio.
Her uncleanness stains her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her downfall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her. Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
10 Neprijatelj poseže rukom na sve drage stvari njegove, i on gleda kako narodi ulaze u svetinju njegovu, za koje si zapovjedio: da ne dolaze na sabor tvoj.
The adversary has seized all her treasures. For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.
11 Sav narod njegov uzdiše tražeæi hljeba, daju dragocjene stvari svoje za jelo da okrijepe dušu. Pogledaj, Gospode, i vidi kako sam poništen.
All her people groan as they search for bread. They have traded their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. Look, O LORD, and consider, for I have become despised.
12 Zar vam nije stalo, svi koji prolazite ovuda? pogledajte i vidite, ima li bola kakav je moj, koji je meni dopao, kojim me ucvijeli Gospod u dan žestokoga gnjeva svojega.
Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see! Is there any sorrow like mine, which was inflicted on me, which the LORD made me suffer on the day of His fierce anger?
13 S visine pusti oganj u kosti moje, koji ih osvoji; razape mrežu nogama mojima, obori me nauznako, pustoši me, te po vas dan tužim.
He sent fire from on high, and it overpowered my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.
14 Svezan je rukom njegovom jaram od grijeha mojih, usukani su i doðoše mi na vrat; obori silu moju; predade me Gospod u ruke, iz kojih se ne mogu podignuti.
My transgressions are bound into a yoke, knit together by His hand; they are draped over my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has delivered me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
15 Polazi Gospod sve junake moje usred mene, sazva na me sabor da potre mladiæe moje; kao grožðe u kaci izgazi Gospod djevojku kæer Judinu.
The Lord has rejected all the mighty men in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young warriors. Like grapes in a winepress, the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
16 Zato ja plaèem, oèi moje, oèi moje liju suze, jer je daleko od mene utješitelj, koji bi ukrijepio dušu moju; sinovi moji propadoše, jer nadvlada neprijatelj.
For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Sion širi ruke svoje, nema nikoga da ga tješi; Gospod zapovjedi za Jakova, te ga opkoliše neprijatelji; Jerusalim posta meðu njima kao neèista žena.
Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed against Jacob that his neighbors become his foes. Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
18 Pravedan je Gospod, jer se suprotih zapovijesti njegovoj; èujte, svi narodi, i vidite bol moj; djevojke moje i mladiæi moji otidoše u ropstvo.
The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against His command. Listen, all you people; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into captivity.
19 Zvah prijatelje svoje, oni me prevariše; sveštenici moji i starješine moje pomriješe u gradu tražeæi hrane da okrijepe dušu svoju.
I called out to my lovers, but they have betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
20 Pogledaj, Gospode, jer mi je tuga, utroba mi se uskolebala, srce se moje prevræe u meni, jer se mnogo suprotih; na polju uèini me sirotom maè, a kod kuæe sama smrt.
See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am churning within; my heart is pounding within me, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is death.
21 Èuju gdje uzdišem, ali nema nikoga da me potješi; svi neprijatelji moji èuše za nesreæu moju i raduju se što si to uèinio; dovešæeš dan koji si oglasio, te æe oni biti kao ja.
People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have caused it. May You bring the day You have announced, so that they may become like me.
22 Neka izaðe preda te sva zloæa njihova, i uèini kao što si uèinio meni za sve grijehe moje; jer je mnogo uzdaha mojih i srce je moje žalosno.
Let all their wickedness come before You, and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
