Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
O, da bi glava moja bila voda, a oèi moje izvori suzni! da plaèem danju i noæu za pobijenima kæeri naroda svojega.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
O, da mi je u pustinji stanak putnièki! da ostavim narod svoj i da otidem od njih, jer su svi preljuboèinci, zbor nevjernièki;
3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Yhwh.
I zapinju jezik svoj kao luk da lažu, i osiliše na zemlji, ali ne za istinu, nego idu iz zla u zlo, niti znaju za me, govori Gospod.
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
Èuvajte se svaki prijatelja svojega i nijednome bratu ne vjerujte; jer svaki brat radi da potkine drugoga, i svaki prijatelj ide te opada.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
I svaki vara prijatelja svojega i ne govori istine, uèe jezik svoj da govori laž, muèe se da èine zlo.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Yhwh.
Stan ti je usred prijevare; radi prijevare neæe da znaju za me, govori Gospod.
7 Therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
Zato ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: gle, pretopiæu ih, i okušaæu ih; jer što bih èinio radi kæeri naroda svojega?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
Jezik im je strijela smrtna, govori prijevaru; ustima govore o miru s prijateljem svojim, a u srcu namještaju zasjedu.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith Yhwh: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Zato li ih neæu pohoditi? govori Gospod; duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
Za ovijem gorama udariæu u plaè i u ridanje, i za torovima u pustinji u naricanje; jer izgorješe da niko ne prolazi niti se èuje glas od stada, i ptice nebeske i stoka pobjegoše i otidoše.
11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
I obratiæu Jerusalim u gomilu, u stan zmajevski; i gradove Judine obratiæu u pustoš, da neæe niko onuda živjeti.
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of Yhwh hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
Ko je mudar da bi razumio? i komu govoriše usta Gospodnja, da bi objavio zašto zemlja propade i izgorje kao pustinja da niko ne prolazi?
13 And Yhwh saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
Jer Gospod reèe: što ostaviše zakon moj, koji metnuh pred njih, i ne slušaše glasa mojega i ne hodiše za njim,
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
Nego hodiše za mislima srca svojega i za Valima, èemu ih nauèiše oci njihovi,
15 Therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo ja æu nahraniti taj narod pelenom i napojiæu ih žuèi.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
I rasijaæu ih meðu narode, kojih ne poznavaše ni oni ni oci njihovi; i puštaæu za njima maè dokle ih ne istrijebim.
17 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: gledajte i zovite narikaèe neka doðu, i pošljite po vješte neka doðu,
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
I neka brže narièu za nama, da se rone suze od oèiju naših, i od vjeða naših da teèe voda.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
Jer se glasno ridanje èu od Siona: kako propadosmo! posramismo se vrlo, jer se rastavljasmo sa zemljom, jer obaraju stanove naše.
20 Yet hear the word of Yhwh, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
Zato, žene, èujte rijeè Gospodnju i neka primi uho vaše rijeè usta njegovijeh, i uèite kæeri svoje ridati i jedna drugu naricati.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
Jer se pope smrt na prozore naše i uðe u dvorove naše da istrijebi djecu s ulica i mladiæe s putova.
22 Speak, Thus saith Yhwh, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
Reci: ovako govori Gospod: i mrtva æe tjelesa ljudska ležati kao gnoj po njivi i kao rukoveti za žeteocem, kojih niko ne kupi.
23 Thus saith Yhwh, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
Ovako veli Gospod: mudri da se ne hvali mudrošæu svojom, ni jaki da se ne hvali snagom svojom, ni bogati da se ne hvali bogatstvom svojim.
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am Yhwh which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith Yhwh.
Nego ko se hvali, neka se hvali tijem što razumije i poznaje mene da sam ja Gospod koji èinim milost i sud i pravdu na zemlji, jer mi je to milo, govori Gospod.
25 Behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
Eto, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad æu pohoditi sve, obrezane i neobrezane,
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
Misirce i Judejce i Edomce i sinove Amonove i Moavce i sve koji se s kraja strigu, koji žive u pustinji; jer su svi ti narodi neobrezani, i sav je dom Izrailjev neobrezana srca.
