Jeremiah 5
1 “Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see now and know, And seek in her broad places, If you find a man, If there is one doing judgment, Seeking steadfastness—Then I am propitious to her.
Proðite po ulicama Jerusalimskim, i vidite sada i razberite i potražite po ulicama njegovijem, hoæete li naæi èovjeka, ima li ko da èini što je pravo i da traži istinu, pa æu oprostiti.
2 And if they say, YHWH lives, Surely they swear to a falsehood.”
Ako i govore: tako da je živ Gospod! opet se krivo kunu.
3 YHWH, Your eyes, are they not on steadfastness? You have struck them, and they have not grieved, You have consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.
Gospode! ne gledaju li oèi tvoje na istinu! Biješ ih, ali ih ne boli; satireš ih, ali neæe da prime nauke, tvrðe im je lice od kamena, neæe da se obrate.
4 And I said, “Surely these [are] poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of YHWH, The judgment of their God.
I ja rekoh: siromasi su, ludo rade, jer ne znaju puta Gospodnjega, zakona Boga svojega.
5 I go to the great, and I speak with them, For they have known the way of YHWH, The judgment of their God.” Surely they have broken the yoke together, They have drawn away the bands.
Idem k vlastelima, i njima æu govoriti, jer oni znaju put Gospodnji, zakon Boga svojega; ali i oni izlomiše jaram, pokidaše sveze.
6 Therefore a lion out of the forest has struck them, A wolf of the deserts spoils them, A leopard is watching over their cities, Everyone who is going out of them is torn, For their transgressions have been many, Their backslidings have been mighty.
Zato æe ih pobiti lav iz šume, vuk æe ih veèernji potrti, ris æe vrebati kod gradova njihovijeh, ko god izide iz njih biæe rastrgnut, jer je mnogo grijeha njihovijeh i silni su odmeti njihovi.
7 “I am not propitious to you for this, Your sons have forsaken Me, And are satisfied by [those who are] not gods, I satisfy them, and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They gather themselves together.
Kako æu ti oprostiti to? Sinovi tvoji ostaviše mene, i kunu se onima koji nijesu bogovi. Kako ih nasitih, stadoše èiniti preljubu, i u kuæu kurvinu stjeèu se gomilom.
8 Fed horses—they have been early risers, They each neigh to the wife of his neighbor.
Jutrom su kad ustaju kao tovni konji, svaki rže za ženom bližnjega svojega.
9 Do I not lay a charge for these?” A declaration of YHWH, “And on a nation such as this, Does My soul not avenge itself?
Zato li neæu pohoditi? veli Gospod, i duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
10 Go up on her walls, and destroy, And I do not make a completion, Turn her branches aside, For they [are] not YHWH’s,
Izidite mu na zidove i razvalite, ali nemojte sasvijem zatrti, skinite mu prijevornice, jer nijesu Gospodnje.
11 For the house of Israel has dealt treacherously against Me, And the house of Judah,” A declaration of YHWH.
Jer me sasvijem iznevjeri dom Izrailjev i dom Judin, veli Gospod.
12 They have lied against YHWH, And they say, “[It is] not He, Nor does evil come in against us, Indeed, we do not see sword and famine.
Udariše u bah Gospodu i rekoše: nije tako, neæe nas zlo zadesiti, i neæemo vidjeti maèa ni gladi.
13 And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them, Thus it is done to them.”
A ti proroci otiæi æe u vjetar, i rijeèi nema u njima, njima æe biti tako.
14 Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts: “Because of your speaking this word, Behold, I am making My words become fire in your mouth, And this people wood, And it has devoured them.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod nad vojskama: kad tako govorite, evo ja æu uèiniti da rijeèi moje u ustima tvojim budu kao oganj, a ovaj narod drva, te æe ih spaliti.
15 Behold, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, “It [is] a strong nation, It [is] an ancient nation, A nation whose tongue you do not know, Nor understand what it speaks.
Gle, ja æu dovesti na vas narod iz daleka, dome Izrailjev, veli Gospod, narod jak, narod star, narod kojem jezika neæeš znati niti æeš razumjeti što govori;
16 Its quiver [is] as an open tomb, All of them—mighty ones.
Kojemu je tul kao grob otvoren, svi su jaki.
17 And it has consumed your harvest and your bread, They consume your sons, and your daughters, It consumes your flock, and your herd, It consumes your vine and your fig tree, It makes your fortified cities poor, In which you are trusting—by the sword.
I poješæe ljetinu tvoju i hljeb tvoj, što sinovi tvoji i kæeri tvoje šæahu jesti, poješæe ovce tvoje i goveda tvoja, poješæe vinovu lozu tvoju i smokve tvoje, i maèem æe zatrti tvrde gradove tvoje u koje se uzdaš.
18 And even in those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not make you a completion.
Ali ni tada, veli Gospod, neæu vas sasvijem zatrti.
19 And it has come to pass, when you say, Why has our God YHWH done all these [things] to us? That you have said to them, As you have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a foreigner in your land, So you serve strangers in a land [that is] not yours.
Jer kad reèete: zašto nam èini Gospod Bog naš sve ovo? tada im reci: kako ostaviste mene i služiste tuðim bogovima u zemlji svojoj, tako æete služiti tuðincima u zemlji koja nije vaša.
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, And sound it in Judah, saying,
Javite ovo u domu Jakovljevu, i oglasite u Judi, govoreæi:
21 Now hear this, O people, foolish and without heart, They have eyes, and they do not see, They have ears, and they do not hear.
Èujte ovo, ludi i bezumni narode, koji imate oèi a ne vidite, koji imate uši a ne èujete.
22 Do you not fear Me?” A declaration of YHWH; “Are you not pained from My presence? Who has made sand the border of the sea, A perpetual limit, and it does not pass over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Indeed, its billows have sounded, and they do not pass over.
Mene li se neæete bojati? veli Gospod; od mene li neæete drktati? koji postavih pijesak moru za meðu vjeènom naredbom, i neæe prijeæi preko nje; ako mu i ustaju vali, neæe nadjaèati, ako i buèe, neæe je prijeæi.
23 And this people has an apostatizing and rebelling heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
Ali je u naroda ovoga srce uporno i nepokorno; otstupiše i otidoše.
24 And they have not said in their heart, Now let us fear our God YHWH, who is giving rain, The autumn rain and the spring rain, in its season, He keeps the appointed weeks of harvest for us.
Niti rekoše u srcu svom: bojmo se Gospoda Boga svojega, koji nam daje dažd rani i pozni na vrijeme, i èuva nam nedjelje odreðene za žetvu.
25 Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
Bezakonja vaša odvraæaju to, i grijesi vaši odbijaju dobro od vas.
26 For the wicked have been found among My people. He watches like one who sets snares, They have set up a trap—they capture men.
Jer se nalaze u narodu mom bezbožnici, koji vrebaju kao ptièari kad se pritaje, meæu zamke da hvataju ljude.
27 As a cage full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
Kao krletka puna ptica tako su kuæe njihove pune prijevare; zato postaše veliki i obogatiše.
28 They have been fat, they have shone, Indeed, they have surpassed the acts of the evil, They have not judged judgment, The judgment of the fatherless—and they prosper, And they have not judged the judgment of the needy.
Ugojiše se, sjaju se, mimoilaze zlo, ne èine pravde ni siroèetu, i opet im je dobro, i ne daju pravice ubogima.
29 Do I not inspect for these,” A declaration of YHWH, “On a nation such as this, Does My soul not avenge itself?
Zato li neæu pohoditi? veli Gospod, i duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takvom narodu?
30 An astonishing and horrible thing has been in the land:
Èudo i strahota biva u zemlji.
31 The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved [it] so, And what do they do at its latter end?”
Proroci prorokuju lažno, i sveštenici gospoduju preko njih, i narodu je mojemu to milo. A šta æete raditi na pošljedak?
