Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the Lord told me to do: Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it on, but don't wash it.
Ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi i kupi sebi pojas lanen i opaši se njim, a ne meæi ga u vodu.
2 So I went and bought a loincloth as the Lord had instructed me, and I put it on.
Tako kupih pojas po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i opasah se njim.
3 Then the Lord gave me another message:
Potom doðe mi opet rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
4 Take the loincloth that you bought and put on, and go immediately to the River Perath and hide it there in a hole among the rocks.
Uzmi taj pojas što si kupio, što je oko tebe, pa se digni i idi na Efrat, i sakrij ga ondje u kaku rasjelinu kamenu.
5 So I went and hid it at the River Perath, as the Lord had told me.
I otidoh i sakrih ga kod Efrata, kako mi zapovjedi Gospod.
6 A long time later the Lord told me, Go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I ordered you to hide there.
A poslije mnogo vremena reèe mi Gospod: ustani i idi na Efrat, i uzmi pojas koji ti zapovjedih da sakriješ ondje.
7 I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and removed it from where I'd hidden it. Obviously it was ruined—completely useless.
I otidoh na Efrat i otkopah i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio; a gle, pojas otruhnuo, i ne bješe ni za što.
8 Then a message from the Lord came to me:
Tada mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
9 This is what the Lord says: I will ruin the arrogance of Judah and the great arrogance of Jerusalem in exactly the same way.
Ovako veli Gospod: tako æu uèiniti da otruhne ponos Judin i veliki ponos Jerusalimski,
10 These evil people refuse to listen to what I tell them. They follow their own stubborn and evil thinking and run off to worship other gods—they will be like this loincloth, completely useless.
Toga naroda nevaljaloga, što neæe da sluša mojih rijeèi, što hodi po mislima srca svojega i ide za drugim bogovima služeæi im i klanjajuæi im se; i biæe kao taj pojas, koji nije ni za što.
11 In the same way that a loincloth holds tightly to the body, so I made all the people of Israel and Judah hold tightly to me, declares the Lord. Then they could have been my people, representing me, giving me honor and praise. But they refused to listen.
Jer kako se pojas pripoji oko èovjeka, tako bijah pripojio oko sebe sav dom Izrailjev i sav dom Judin, veli Gospod, da bi bili moj narod na slavu i hvalu i diku; ali ne poslušaše.
12 So tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wine jar shall be filled with wine. When they reply, “Don't we know that already? Of course every wine jar should be filled with wine!”
Zato im reci ovu rijeè: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: svi se mjehovi pune vina. A oni æe reæi: zar ne znamo da se svi mjehovi pune vina?
13 then tell them that this is what the Lord says: I'm going to make everyone who lives in this land drunk—the kings sitting on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
Tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu napuniti pjanosti sve stanovnike ove zemlje i careve, koji sjede mjesto Davida na prijestolu njegovu, i sveštenike i proroke i sve stanovnike Jerusalimske.
14 I'm going to smash them against each other like wine jars, both parents and children, declares the Lord. I won't let any mercy or pity or compassion stop me from destroying them.
I razbiæu ih jednoga o drugoga, i oceve i sinove, veli Gospod; neæu požaliti ni poštedjeti niti se smilovati, da ih ne potrem.
15 Listen and pay attention. Don't be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
Slušajte i èujte, nemojte se ponositi, jer Gospod govori.
16 Honor the Lord your God before he brings the darkness, before you trip and fall in the twilight on the mountains. You long for light to come, but he send only gloom and complete darkness.
Dajte slavu Gospodu Bogu svojemu dok nije spustio mrak, dokle se nijesu spotakle noge vaše po gorama mraènijem, da èekate svjetlost a on je obrati u sjen smrtni i pretvori u tamu.
17 But if you refuse to listen, I will weep secretly inside because of your pride. My tears pouring down because the Lord's flock has been captured.
Ako li ovo ne poslušate, duša æe moja plakati tajno radi oholosti vaše i roniti suze, suze æe teæi iz oka mojega, jer æe se zarobiti stado Gospodnje.
18 Tell the king and the queen mother: Get down from your thrones, because your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.
Reci caru i carici: dolje sjedite, jer æe se slavni vijenac vaš skinuti s vaše glave.
19 The towns in the Negev are surrounded; no one can get through to them. The whole of Judah has been taken away into exile, everyone has been exiled.
Gradovi južni zatvoriæe se i neæe biti nikoga da ih otvori, odvešæe se Juda u ropstvo, sasvijem æe se odvesti u ropstvo.
20 Look up and you'll see the invaders coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you to look after? Where are the sheep you were so proud of?
Podignite oèi svoje i vidite one što idu od sjevera. Gdje je stado što ti je predano, stado slave tvoje?
21 What are you going to say when he puts your enemies in charge of you, people you once counted as your friends? Won't you suffer pains like a woman in labor?
Šta æeš reæi kad te pohodi? Jer si ih ti nauèio da budu knezovi nad tobom. Neæe li te spopasti bolovi kao ženu kad se poraða?
22 If you say to yourself, Why has this happened to me? it's because you have been so wicked. That's why your skirts were stripped off and you were raped.
Ako li reèeš u srcu svom: zašto me to zadesi? za mnoštvo bezakonja tvojega uzgrnuæe se skuti tvoji i obuæa ti se skinuti.
23 Can Ethiopians change the color of their skin? Can a leopard change its spots? In the same way you can't change and do good because you're so used to doing evil.
Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju ili ris šare svoje? možete li vi èiniti dobro nauèivši se èiniti zlo?
24 I'm going to scatter you like chaff blown away by the desert wind.
Zato æu ih razmetnuti kao što razmeæe pljevu vjetar iz pustinje.
25 This is what's going to happen to you; this is what I have decided to do to you, declares the Lord, because you have forgotten me and believed in lies.
To je dio tvoj i obrok tvoj od mene, govori Gospod, zato što si me zaboravio i pouzdao se u laž.
26 I will pull your skirts up over your face, so you will be seen naked and ashamed.
Zato æu ti ja uzgrnuti skute na lice da se vidi sramota tvoja.
27 I watched your acts of adultery and lust, how you prostituted yourselves shamelessly, worshiping idols on the hills and in the fields. Yes, I saw the disgusting things you did. Disaster is coming to you, Jerusalem! How long are you going to remain unclean?
Preljube tvoje, rzanje tvoje, sramotna kurvarstva tvoja po humovima, po poljima, gadove tvoje vidio sam; teško tebi, Jerusalime! zar se neæeš oèistiti? dokle još?
