Jeremiah 15

1 The Lord told me: Even if Moses and Samuel were standing before me pleading with me on behalf of these people, I wouldn't feel sorry for them. Send them away from me. Have them leave.

I reèe mi Gospod: da stane Mojsije i Samuilo preda me, ne bi se duša moja obratila k tome narodu; otjeraj ih ispred mene, i neka odlaze.

2 If they ask you, “Where shall we go?” tell them that this is what the Lord says: Those to be killed by the plague, to the plague; those to be killed by the sword, to the sword; those to be killed by famine, to famine; and those to be killed in captivity, to captivity.

I ako ti reku: kuda æemo iæi? tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod: ko je za smrt, na smrt; ko je za maè, pod maè; ko za glad, na glad; ko za ropstvo, u ropstvo.

3 I will put four kinds of destroyers in charge of them, declares the Lord: swords to kill, dogs to drag their bodies away, and the birds of prey and wild animals to eat them and destroy them.

I pustiæu na njih èetvoro, govori Gospod: maè, da ih ubija, i pse, da ih razvlaèe, i ptice nebeske i zvijeri zemaljske, da ih jedu i istrijebe.

4 I will make all the kingdoms of the world horrified by them, because of the evil things Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

I daæu ih da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim radi Manasije sina Jezekijina cara Judina za ono što je uèinio u Jerusalimu.

5 Who will be sorry for you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask you how you are?

Jer ko bi se smilovao na tebe, Jerusalime? ko li bi te požalio? ko li bi došao da zapita kako ti je?

6 You have deserted me, declares the Lord. You have turned your back on me. So I will take action against you and destroy you; I am tired of showing you mercy.

Ti si me ostavio, govori Gospod, otišao si natrag; zato æu mahnuti rukom svojom na te i pogubiæu te; dosadi mi žaliti.

7 I will scatter you with a winnowing fork from every town in the country. I will destroy my people and take away their children because they refuse to give up their evil ways.

Zato æu ih izvijati vijaèom na vratima zemaljskim, uèiniæu ih sirotima, potræu narod svoj, jer se ne vraæaju s putova svojih.

8 There will be more widows than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon and mothers will lose their young sons. They will suddenly experience agony and shock.

Više æe mi biti udovica njegovijeh nego pijeska morskoga, dovešæu im na majke momaèke zatiraèe u podne, i pustiæu iznenada na njih smetnju i strahotu.

9 A mother of seven children will collapse; she will gasp for breath. Her sun will set while it's still daytime; she will be ashamed and humiliated. I will let the enemies kill the rest of them, declares the Lord.

Iznemoæi æe koja je rodila sedmoro i ispustiæe dušu, sunce æe joj zaæi još za dana, sramiæe se i stidjeæe se, a ostatak æu njihov dati pod maè pred neprijateljima njihovijem, govori Gospod.

10 How sad I am, my mother, that you gave birth to me! I'm a victim of argument and conflict wherever I go in the country. I have never lent anyone anything, or borrowed anything, but still everyone curses me.

Teško meni, majko moja, što si me rodila da se sa mnom prepire i da se sa mnom svaða sva zemlja; ne davah u zajam niti mi davaše u zajam, i opet me svi proklinju.

11 But the Lord told me: Don't worry, I'm going to take away your problems so you can do good. I will make your enemies plead with you whenever they're in trouble or suffering.

Gospod reèe: doista, ostatku æe tvojemu biti dobro, i braniæu te od neprijatelja, kad budeš u nevolji i u tjeskobi.

12 Can anyone break iron, iron from the north, or bronze?

Eda li æe gvožðe slomiti gvožðe sjeverno i mjed?

13 I will give away your wealth and valuable possessions for free. They will become plunder for your enemies because of all the sins you committed throughout your country.

Imanje tvoje i blago tvoje daæu da se razgrabi bez cijene po svijem meðama tvojim, i to za sve grijehe tvoje.

14 Then I will have your enemies make you their slaves in an unfamiliar country, because I will so angry it will be like lighting a fire that will burn you up.

I odvešæu te s neprijateljima tvojim u zemlju koje ne poznaješ, jer se raspalio oganj od gnjeva mojega, i gorjeæe nad vama.

15 You know what's happening to me, Lord. Please remember me and look after me. Punish my persecutors! Please be patient—don't let me die! You know I put up with criticism because I want to honor you.

Ti znaš, Gospode, opomeni me se i pohodi me i osveti me od onijeh koji me gone; nemoj me zgrabiti dokle se ustežeš od gnjeva; znaj da podnosim rug tebe radi.

16 When I received your messages, I ate them up! What you said made me really happy—I was delighted. I belong to you, Lord God Almighty!

Kad se naðoše rijeèi tvoje, pojedoh ih, i rijeè tvoja bi mi radost i veselje srcu mojemu, jer je ime tvoje prizvano na me, Gospode Bože nad vojskama.

17 I didn't join in with a bunch of jokers as they had fun. I stayed by myself because you have called me, and you have filled me with outrage.

Ne sjedim u vijeæu potsmjevaèkom niti se s njima veselim; sjedim sam radi ruke tvoje, jer si me napunio srdnje.

18 Why doesn't my pain ever stop? Why is my wound incurable? Why can't it be healed? You've really become like a seasonal stream to me, an unreliable source of water.

Zašto bol moj jednako traje? i zašto je rana moja smrtna, te neæe da se iscijeli? Hoæeš li mi biti kao varalica, kao voda nepostojana?

19 So this is what the Lord says: If you come back to me, I will take you back and you will serve me again. If what you talk about are worthwhile subjects and not nonsense, you will be my spokesman, Jeremiah. They must be the ones who follow you; you must not follow them.

Zato ovako veli Gospod: ako se obratiš, ja æu te opet postaviti da stojiš preda mnom, ako odvojiš što je dragocjeno od rðavoga, biæeš kao usta moja; oni neka se obrate k tebi, a ti se ne obraæaj k njima.

20 Then I will make you a wall to these people, a strong wall of bronze. They will fight against you but they won't defeat you. I am with you to save you and rescue you, declares the Lord.

I uèiniæu da budeš tome narodu kao jak zid mjeden, i udaraæe na te, ali te neæe nadvladati; jer sam ja s tobom da te èuvam i izbavljam, govori Gospod.

21 I will liberate you from the power of the wicked, and free you from clutches of the cruel.

I izbaviæu te iz ruku zlijeh ljudi, i iskupiæu te iz ruku nasilnièkih.
