Плач Јеремијин 2
1 Како обастре Господ облаком у гневу свом кћер сионску! Сврже с неба на земљу славу Израиљеву, и не опомену се подножја ногу својих у дан гнева свог!
The Lord has covered the daughter of Zion under the cloud of his anger. He has thrown the splendor of Israel down from heaven to earth. He has not remembered his footstool on the day of his anger.
2 Господ потре немилице све станове Јаковљеве, развали у гневу свом градове кћери Јудине, и на земљу обори, оскврни царство и кнезове његове.
The Lord has swallowed up and has had no compassion on all the towns of Jacob. In the days of his anger he has thrown down the fortified cities of the daughter of Judah; in dishonor he has brought down to the ground the kingdom and its rulers.
3 Одби у жестоком гневу сав рог Израиљу, обрати натраг десницу своју од непријатеља, и распали се на Јакова као огањ пламени, који прождире све око себе.
With fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a blazing fire that devours everything around it.
4 Натеже лук свој као непријатељ, подиже десницу своју као противник, и поби све што беше драго очима; на шатор кћери сионске просу као огањ гнев свој.
Like an enemy he has bent his bow toward us, with his right is ready to shoot. He has slaughtered all who had been so pleasing to him in the tent of the daughter of Zion; he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 Господ поста као непријатељ; потре Израиља, потре све дворе његове, раскопа све градове његове, и умножи кћери Јудиној жалост и јад.
The Lord has become like an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed her strongholds. He has increased mourning and lamentation within the daughter of Judah.
6 Развали му ограду као врту; потре место састанцима његовим; Господ врже у заборав на Сиону празнике и суботу, и у жестини гнева свог одбаци цара и свештеника.
He has attacked his tabernacle like a garden hut. He has destroyed the place of the solemn assembly. Yahweh has caused both solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, for he has despised both king and priest in the indignation of his anger.
7 Одбаци Господ олтар свој, омрзе на светињу своју, предаде у руке непријатељима зидове двора сионских; стаде их вика у дому Господњем као на празник.
The Lord has rejected his altar and disowned his sanctuary. He has given over the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed feast.
8 Господ науми да раскопа зид кћери сионске, растеже уже, и не одврати руке своје да не затре, и ојади опкоп и зид, изнемогоше скупа.
Yahweh decided to destroy the city wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the measuring line and has not withheld his hand from destroying the wall. He has made the ramparts and wall to lament; together they wasted away.
9 Утонуше у земљу врата њена, поломи и потре преворнице њене; цар њен и кнезови њени међу народима су; закона нема, и пророци њени не добијају утваре од Господа.
Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken the bars of her gate. Her king and her princes are among the nations, the law is no more and her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
10 Старешине кћери сионске седе на земљи и ћуте, посуле су прахом главу и припасале кострет; обориле су к земљи главе своје девојке јерусалимске.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.
11 Ишчилеше ми очи од суза, утроба се моја усколебала, просипа се на земљу јетра моја од погибли кћери народа мог, јер деца и која сисају обамиру на улицама градским.
My eyes have failed from their tears; my stomach churns; my inner parts are poured out to the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, children and infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 Говоре матерама својим: Где је жито и вино? Обамиру као рањеници на улицама градским, и испуштају душу своју у наручју матера својих.
They say to their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” as they faint like a wounded man in the streets of the city, their lives are poured out on the bosom of their mothers.
13 Кога ћу ти узети за сведока? С чим ћу те изједначити, кћери јерусалимска? Какву ћу ти прилику наћи, да те утешим, девојко, кћери сионска? Јер је несрећа твоја велика као море, ко ће те исцелити?
What can I say to you, daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? Your wound is as great as the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Пророци твоји пророковаше ти лаж и безумље, и не откриваше безакоња твог да би одвратили ропство твоје; него ти казиваше утваре лажне и које ће те прогнати.
Your prophets have seen false and worthless visions for you. They have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but for you they gave utterances that are false and misleading.
15 Пљескају рукама над тобом сви који пролазе, звижде и машу главом за кћерју јерусалимском: То ли је град, за који говораху да је права лепота, радост свој земљи?
All those who pass along the road clap their hands at you. They hiss and shake their heads against the daughter of Jerusalem and say, “Is this the city that they called 'The Perfection of Beauty,' 'The Joy for All of Earth'?”
16 Разваљују уста на те сви непријатељи твоји, звижде и шкргућу зубима говорећи: Прождресмо; ово је доиста дан који чекасмо; дочекасмо, видесмо.
All your enemies open their mouths against you. They sneer and grind their teeth in rage and say, “We have swallowed her up! This is the day we have waited for! We have lived to see it!”
17 Учини Господ шта науми, испуни реч своју, коју каза одавна; разори немилице и развесели тобом непријатеља, подиже рог противницима твојим.
Yahweh has done what he planned to do. He has fulfilled his word. He has overthrown you without pity, for he has permitted the enemy to rejoice over you; he has lifted up the horn of your enemies.
18 Виче срце њихово ка Господу: Зиде кћери сионске, проливај потоком сузе дан и ноћ, не дај себи мира, и зеница ока твог да не стаје.
Their heart cried out to the Lord, walls of the daughter of Zion! Make your tears flow down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, your eyes no relief.
19 Устани, вичи обноћ, у почетку страже, проливај срце своје као воду пред Господом, подижи к Њему руке своје за душу деце своје која обамиру од глади на угловима својих улица.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children who faint with hunger at the corner of every street.”
20 Погледај, Господе, и види, коме си овако учинио. Еда ли жене једу пород свој, децу коју носе у наручју? Еда ли се убија у светињи Господњој свештеник и пророк?
See, Yahweh, and consider those you have dealt in this way. Should women eat the fruit of their wombs, the children whom they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be slaughtered in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Леже на земљи по улицама деца и старци, девојке моје и младићи моји падоше од мача, побио си их у дан гнева свог и поклао не жалећи.
Both the young and the old lie on the dust of the streets. My young women and my young men have fallen by the sword; you have slaughtered them without taking pity on them.
22 Сазвао си као на празник страхоте моје од свуда, и у дан гнева Господњег нико не утече нити оста. Које на руку носих и отхраних, њих ми непријатељ мој поби.
You have summoned, as you would call the people to a feast day, my terrors on every side, on the day of the anger of Yahweh no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and raised, my enemy has destroyed.
