Tužbalice 1
1 Kako sjedi sam, posta kao udovica, grad koji bješe pun naroda! velik meðu narodima, glava meðu zemljama potpade pod danak!
How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! [how] is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, [how] is she become tributary!
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 weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are 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 is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
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 ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
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 adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
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.
And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
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.
Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, the adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations.
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 hath grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
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 filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered not her latter end; therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter: behold, O LORD, my affliction; for the enemy hath magnified himself.
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 hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
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 sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to refresh the soul: see, O LORD, and behold; for I am become vile.
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 it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted [me] in 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.
From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back; he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
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.
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; they are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail: the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
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 hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress 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; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy hath 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 spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
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 commandment: hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are 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 for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought them meat to refresh their souls.
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.
Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress; my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as 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.
They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto 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 thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
