Jeremiah 2
1 The Lord's message came to me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 Go and announce to the people of Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says: I remember when you were young how devoted to me you were. I remember how you loved me when you were my bride. I remember how you followed me in the desert, in a land where nothing is grown.
Idi i vièi Jerusalimu da èuje i govori: ovako veli Gospod: opominjem te se po milosti u mladosti tvojoj i po ljubavi o vjeridbi tvojoj, kad iðaše za mnom po pustinji, i po zemlji gdje se ne sije.
3 Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his harvest. Anyone who ate this harvest was guilty of sin, and they experienced the disastrous results, declares the Lord.
Izrailj bješe svetinja Gospodu i prvina od rodova njegovijeh; koji je jeðahu svi bijahu krivi, zlo dolažaše na njih, veli Gospod.
4 Listen to the Lord's message, descendants of Jacob, all you Israelites.
Èujte rijeè Gospodnju, dome Jakovljev i sve porodice doma Izrailjeva.
5 This is what the Lord says: What did your forefathers think was wrong with me that they went so far away from me? They went off to worship useless idols, and as a result became useless themselves!
Ovako veli Gospod: kaku nepravdu naðoše oci vaši u mene, te otstupiše od mene, i pristaše za ništavilom, i postaše ništavi?
6 They didn't ask themselves, “Where is the Lord who led us from Egypt, who led us through the wasteland, through a land of deserts and ravines, a land of drought and darkness, a land that no one travels through and where no one lives?”
I ne rekoše: gdje je Gospod koji nas je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, koji nas je vodio po pustinji, po zemlji pustoj i punoj propasti, po zemlji suhoj i gdje je sjen smrtni, po zemlji preko koje niko nije hodio i u kojoj niko nije živio?
7 I led you into a productive land to eat all the good things that grow there. But you came and made my land unclean, making it offensive to me.
I kad vas dovedoh u zemlju rodnu da jedete rod njezin i dobra njezina, došavši oskvrniste zemlju moju i od našljedstva mojega naèiniste gad.
8 Your priests did not ask, “Where is the Lord?” Your teachers of the law no longer believed in me, and your leaders rebelled against me. Your prophets prophesied by calling on Baal and followed worthless idols.
Sveštenici ne rekoše: gdje je Gospod? I koji se bave zakonom ne poznaše me, i pastiri odustaše me, i proroci prorokovaše Valom i idoše za stvarima zaludnijem.
9 So I'm going to confront you again, declares the Lord, and I will bring charges against your children's children.
Zato æu se još preti s vama, veli Gospod, i sa sinovima sinova vaših preæu se.
10 Travel over to the islands of Cyprus and take a look; go to the land of Kedar and examine carefully to see if anything like this has ever happened before.
Jer proðite ostrva Kitimska i vidite, i pošljite u Kidar, i razgledajte dobro, i vidite je li bilo tako što:
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods? —even though they're not gods at all! Yet my people have traded their glorious God for worthless idols.
Je li koji narod promijenio bogove, ako i nijesu bogovi? a moj narod promijeni slavu svoju na stvar zaludnu.
12 You heavens, you should be appalled, shocked and horrified! declares the Lord.
Èudite se tome, nebesa, i zgrozite se i upropastite se! veli Gospod.
13 For my people have done two evil things. They have abandoned me, the source of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that can't hold water.
Jer dva zla uèini moj narod: ostaviše mene, izvor žive vode, i iskopaše sebi studence, studence isprovaljivane, koji ne mogu da drže vode.
14 Are Israelites slaves? Were they born into slavery? So why have they become victims?
Je li Izrailj rob? je li rob u kuæi roðen? zašto posta grabež?
15 The young lions roared at you; they growled loudly. They have devastated your country; your towns lie in ruins. No one lives there.
Rikaše na nj laviæi i dizaše glas svoj, i obratiše zemlju njegovu u pustoš; gradovi su mu popaljeni, te nema nikoga da živi u njima.
16 The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved your heads.
I sinovi Nofski i Tafneski opasoše ti tjeme.
17 Didn't you bring this on yourself by abandoning the Lord your God when he was leading you in the right way?
Nijesi li to sam sebi uèinio ostaviv Gospoda Boga svojega kad te voðaše putem?
18 Now what will you benefit as you travel back to Egypt to drink the waters of Shihor River? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
A sada što æe ti put Misirski da piješ vode Siorske? što li æe ti put Asirski da piješ vode iz rijeke?
19 Your own wickedness will discipline you; your own disobedience will teach you a lesson. Think about it and you'll recognize what a bitter evil it is for you to abandon the Lord your God and not to respect me, declares the Lord God Almighty.
Tvoja æe te zloæa pokarati i tvoje æe te odmetanje prekoriti. Poznaj dakle i vidi da je zlo i gorko što si ostavio Gospoda Boga svojega i što nema straha mojega u tebi, veli Gospod Gospod nad vojskama.
20 You broke off your yoke and ripped off your chains long ago. “I won't worship you!” you declared. On the contrary, you lay down like a prostitute on every high hill and under every green tree.
Jer davno izlomih jaram tvoj i raskidoh sveze tvoje, i ti reèe: neæu biti sluga; a na svaki visoki hum i pod svako zeleno drvo ideš da se kurvaš.
21 I was the one who planted you like the finest vine, grown from the very best seed. How could you degenerate into a useless wild vine?
Ja te posadih lozu izabranu, sve sjeme istinito; pa kako mi se promijeni i izmetnu se odvoda od tuðe loze?
22 Even bleach and plenty of soap can't get rid of your guilty stains. I still see them, declares the Lord God.
Da se izmiješ salitrom i uzmeš mnogo sapuna, opet æe se poznavati bezakonje tvoje preda mnom, veli Gospod Gospod.
23 How dare you say, “I'm not unclean! I haven't gone to worship the Baals!” Look at what you've been doing down in the valley. Admit what you've done! You're a young female camel, racing around everywhere.
Kako možeš reæi: nijesam se oskvrnio, nijesam išao za Valima? Pogledaj put svoj po dolu; poznaj šta si uèinila, brza kamilo, koja ostavljaš znake na svojim putovima.
24 You're a female donkey living in the desert, sniffing the wind for a mate because she's in heat. No one can control her at mating time. All those who're looking for her won't have trouble finding her when she's in heat.
Kao divlja magarica, koja je navikla na pustinju i po želji duše svoje vuèe u se vjetar, kad navali, ko æe je vratiti? koji je traže neæe se umoriti, naæi æe je u mjesecu njezinu.
25 You don't have to run around barefoot or have your throat go dry. But you reply, “No, it's impossible! I'm in love with foreign gods—I must go to them.”
Èuvaj nogu svoju, da nije bosa, i grlo svoje, da ne žedni. Ali ti veliš: od toga nema ništa; ne, jer ljubim tuðe, i za njima æu iæi.
26 In the same way that a thief feels guilty when they're caught, so the people of Israel have been shamed. All of them—their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets.
Kao što se lupež posrami kad se uhvati, tako æe se posramiti dom Izrailjev, oni, carevi njihovi, knezovi njihovi, i sveštenici njihovi i proroci njihovi,
27 They say to an idol made of wood, “You are my father,” and one made of stone, “You gave birth to me.” They turn their backs on me, and hide their faces from me. But when they're in trouble they come begging to me, saying, “Please come and save us!”
Koji govore drvetu: ti si otac moj; i kamenu: ti si me rodio; jer mi okrenuše leða a ne lice; a kad su u nevolji govore: ustani i izbavi nas.
28 So where are these “gods” of yours that you made for yourselves? Let them come and help you when you're in trouble! Let them save you if they can, because you Israelites have as many gods as you have towns.
A gdje su bogovi tvoji koje si naèinio sebi? neka ustanu, ako te mogu izbaviti kad si u nevolji, jer imaš, Juda, bogova koliko gradova.
29 Why are you complaining to me? It's all of you who have all rebelled against me! declares the Lord.
Zašto hoæete da se pravdate sa mnom? vi ste se svi odmetnuli od mene, veli Gospod.
30 It was pointless of me to punish your children because they refused to accept any discipline. You used your own swords to kill your prophets, destroying them like a ferocious lion.
Uzalud bih sinove vaše, ne primiše nauke; maè vaš proždrije proroke vaše kao lav koji davi.
31 You people of today, think about what the Lord is saying: Israel, have I treated you like an empty desert, or a land of thick darkness? Why are my people saying, “We can go where we like! We don't have to come and worship you any more”?
O rode! vidite rijeè Gospodnju; bijah li pustinja Izrailju ili mraèna zemlja? zašto govori moj narod: gospodari smo, neæemo više doæi k tebi?
32 Does a girl forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding dress? Yet my people have forgotten me for too many years to count.
Zaboravlja li djevojka svoj nakit i nevjesta ures svoj? a narod moj zaboravi me toliko dana da im nema broja.
33 How cleverly you look for your lovers! Even prostitutes could learn something from you!
Zašto govoriš da je dobar tvoj put tražeæi što ljubiš? pa si i nevaljale žene nauèio svojim putovima.
34 On top of that, your clothes are stained with the blood of the poor and the innocent. It's not like you killed them breaking into your homes. Despite all this,
I jošte na skutovima tvojim nalazi se krv siromaha pravijeh; ne nalazim kopajuæi, nego je na svjema njima.
35 you go on saying, “I'm innocent! Surely he can't still be upset with me!” Watch out! I'm going to punish you because you go on saying, “I haven't sinned.”
A ti govoriš: nijesam kriv, gnjev se je njegov odvratio od mene. Evo ja æu se preti s tobom što govoriš: nijesam zgriješio.
36 You're just so fickle—you keep on changing your mind! You will end up just as disappointed by your alliance with Egypt as you were with Assyria.
Zašto trèkaš tako mijenjajuæi svoj put? Posramiæeš se od Misirca kako si se posramio od Asirca.
37 In fact you will go into exile with your hands on your head as prisoners, because the Lord will have nothing to do with those you trust; they will be no help to you.
Otiæi æeš i odatle s rukama nad glavom svojom, jer Gospod odbacuje uzdanice tvoje, i neæeš biti sreæan u njima.
