Jeremiah 5
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find a man, if there is any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
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 though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
Ako i govore: tako da je živ Gospod! opet se krivo kunu.
3 O LORD, are not thy eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
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 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
I ja rekoh: siromasi su, ludo rade, jer ne znaju puta Gospodnjega, zakona Boga svojega.
5 I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
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 from the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out from there shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
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 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
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 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
Jutrom su kad ustaju kao tovni konji, svaki rže za ženom bližnjega svojega.
9 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Zato li neæu pohoditi? veli Gospod, i duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S.
Izidite mu na zidove i razvalite, ali nemojte sasvijem zatrti, skinite mu prijevornice, jer nijesu Gospodnje.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
Jer me sasvijem iznevjeri dom Izrailjev i dom Judin, veli Gospod.
12 They have denied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
Udariše u bah Gospodu i rekoše: nije tako, neæe nas zlo zadesiti, i neæemo vidjeti maèa ni gladi.
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
A ti proroci otiæi æe u vjetar, i rijeèi nema u njima, njima æe biti tako.
14 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour 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 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
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 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
Kojemu je tul kao grob otvoren, svi su jaki.
17 And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish with the sword thy fortified cities, in which thou didst trust.
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 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
Ali ni tada, veli Gospod, neæu vas sasvijem zatrti.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Why doeth the LORD our God all these things to us? then shalt thou answer them, As ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall ye 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 proclaim it in Judah, saying,
Javite ovo u domu Jakovljevu, i oglasite u Judi, govoreæi:
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not:
Èujte ovo, ludi i bezumni narode, koji imate oèi a ne vidite, koji imate uši a ne èujete.
22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though its waves toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
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 But this people have a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
Ali je u naroda ovoga srce uporno i nepokorno; otstupiše i otidoše.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season: he reserveth to us the appointed weeks of harvest.
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 away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
Bezakonja vaša odvraæaju to, i grijesi vaši odbijaju dobro od vas.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
Jer se nalaze u narodu mom bezbožnici, koji vrebaju kao ptièari kad se pritaje, meæu zamke da hvataju ljude.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and have grown rich.
Kao krletka puna ptica tako su kuæe njihove pune prijevare; zato postaše veliki i obogatiše.
28 They have become fat, they shine: yea, they exceed the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
Ugojiše se, sjaju se, mimoilaze zlo, ne èine pravde ni siroèetu, i opet im je dobro, i ne daju pravice ubogima.
29 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Zato li neæu pohoditi? veli Gospod, i duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takvom narodu?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
Èudo i strahota biva u zemlji.
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in its end?
Proroci prorokuju lažno, i sveštenici gospoduju preko njih, i narodu je mojemu to milo. A šta æete raditi na pošljedak?
