Jeremiah 14

1 This is a message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah regarding the drought:

Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji o suši.

2 Judah is in mourning; her towns are wasting away. Her people are weeping for the land, and a cry for help comes from Jerusalem.

Juda tuži, i vrata su mu žalosna; leže na zemlji u crno zaviti; vika iz Jerusalima podiže se.

3 Rich people send their servants to get water. They go to the cisterns, but don't find any water. They return with empty jars, disappointed and ashamed, covering their heads.

Najveæi izmeðu njih šalju najmanje na vodu; došavši na studence ne nalaze vode, vraæaju se s praznijem sudovima svojim, stide se i srame se i pokrivaju glavu svoju.

4 The ground has dried up because there hasn't been any rain in the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.

Zemlja je ispucala, jer ne bješe dažda na zemlji; zato se težaci stide i pokrivaju glavu svoju.

5 Even the deer abandons her newborn fawn because there's no grass.

I košuta u polju ostavlja mlade svoje, jer nema trave.

6 Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills, panting like jackals. Their eyesight fails because they have nothing to eat.

I divlji magarci stojeæi na visovima vuku u se vjetar kao zmajevi, oèi im išèilješe, jer nema trave.

7 Even though our sins give evidence against us, Lord, please do something for us because of your good nature. Yes, we have rebelled against you so often; we have sinned against you.

Kad bezakonja naša svjedoèe na nas, Gospode, uèini radi imena svojega; jer je mnogo odmeta naših, tebi sagriješismo.

8 You are the hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble. Why do you act like a foreigner in our country, like a traveler who only stays a night?

Nade Izrailjev! spasitelju njegov u nevolji! zašto si kao tuðin u ovoj zemlji i kao putnik koji se uvrati da prenoæi?

9 Why do you act like someone caught unawares, like a powerful warrior who can't help? You are here among us, Lord, and we are known as your people. Please don't give up on us!

Zašto si kao umoran èovjek, kao junak, koji ne može izbaviti? Ta, ti si usred nas, Gospode, i ime je tvoje prizvano na nas; nemoj nas ostaviti.

10 This is what the Lord says about his people: They really love to wander away from me—they don't even try to stop themselves. So the Lord refuses to accept them. Now he'll remember their guilty actions and punish them for their sins.

Ovako govori Gospod za narod ovaj: milo im je da se skitaju, ne ustavljaju nogu svojih, zato nijesu mili Gospodu; sada æe se opomenuti bezakonja njihova i pohodiæe grijehe njihove.

11 The Lord told me, Don't pray for the welfare of this people.

Potom reèe mi Gospod: ne moli se za taj narod da bi mu bilo dobro.

12 Even if they fast, I won't listen to their cry. Even though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I won't accept them. On the contrary I will wipe them out by sword and famine and plague.

Ako æe i postiti, neæu uslišiti vike njihove; i ako æe prinijeti žrtve paljenice i dar, neæe mi to ugoditi, nego maèem i glaðu i pomorom pomoriæu ih.

13 “Oh Lord God!” I answered, “Look what prophets are telling them, claiming to be speaking for you: ‘You won't see war or suffer from famine, but I will give you peace that lasts here in this place.’”

Tada rekoh: oh, Gospode Gospode, evo, proroci im govore: neæete vidjeti maèa, i neæe biti gladi u vas, nego æu vam dati mir pouzdan na ovom mjestu.

14 The prophets are prophesying lies in my name, replied the Lord. I didn't send them or choose them or speak to them. It's a lying vision, an empty prediction, a deluded, deceitful product of their own minds that they are prophesying to you.

A Gospod mi reèe: laž prorokuju ti proroci u moje ime, nijesam ih poslao, niti sam im zapovjedio, niti sam im govorio; lažne utvare i gatanje i ništavilo i prijevaru srca svojega oni vam prorokuju.

15 So this is what the Lord says about such prophets who prophesy in my name: I didn't send them, but even so they say, “This country won't suffer war or famine.” These same prophets will die from war or famine!

Zato ovako veli Gospod za proroke koji prorokuju u moje ime a ja ih nijesam poslao, i govore: neæe biti maèa ni gladi u ovoj zemlji: od maèa i gladi izginuæe ti proroci.

16 The bodies of the people they prophesied to will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and war. There won't be anyone to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil on them.

A narod ovaj kojemu oni prorokuju biæe povaljan po ulicama Jerusalimskim od gladi i maèa, i neæe biti nikoga da ih pogrebe, njih, žene njihove i sinove njihove i kæeri njihove; tako æu izliti na njih zloæu njihovu.

17 This is what you are to tell them: Tears flow from my eyes without stopping day or night, because my people have been crushed by a heavy blow, a really serious wound.

Reci im dakle ovu rijeè: neka oèi moje liju suze danju i noæu i neka ne prestaju, jer djevojka kæi mojega naroda satr se veoma, od udarca preljuta.

18 If I go out to the countryside, I see those killed by the sword; if I go into the city, I see those dying by famine. Both prophets and priests wander around the country—they don't know what they're doing.

Ako izidem u polje, eto pobijenijeh maèem; ako uðem u grad, eto iznemoglijeh od gladi; jer i prorok i sveštenik otidoše u zemlju koje ne znaju.

19 Have you really rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion so much? Why have you wounded us so badly that we can't be healed? We hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.

Eda li si sasvijem odbacio Judu? eda li je omrzao duši tvojoj Sion? Zašto si nas udario tako da nam nema lijeka? Èekasmo mir ali nema dobra; i vrijeme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.

20 Lord, we admit our wickedness, the guilt of our forefathers as well as our own sins against you.

Priznajemo, Gospode, zloæu svoju, bezakonje otaca svojih, zgriješili smo ti.

21 Because of your own reputation please don't hate us; don't bring dishonor on your glorious throne. Please remember your agreement with us; don't break it.

Nemoj nas odvræi radi imena svojega; nemoj naružiti prijestola slave svoje, opomeni se zavjeta svojega s nama, nemoj ga ukinuti.

22 Can the false gods of the other nations bring rain? Can the skies themselves send showers? No, it's you, Lord our God. So we put our hope in you, because only you can do all this.

Ima li meðu taštinama u naroda koji da daje dažd? ili nebesa daju li sitan dažd? Nijesi li ti to, Gospode Bože naš? Zato tebe èekamo, jer ti èiniš sve to.
