Jeremiah 12

1 Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of [thy] judgments: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? [why] are they all happy that deal very treacherously?

Pravedan si, Gospode, ako bih se pravdao s tobom; ali æu progovoriti o sudovima tvojim. Zašto je put bezbožnièki sreæan? zašto žive u miru svi koji èine nevjeru?

2 Thou hast planted them, yes, they have taken root: they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

Ti ih posadi, i oni se ukorijeniše, rastu i rod raðaju; ti si im blizu usta ali daleko od bubrega.

3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart towards thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

Ali, Gospode, ti me poznaješ, razgledaš me i okušao si srce moje kako je prema tebi; odvuci ih kao ovce na klanje, i pripravi ih za dan kad æe se ubiti.

4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He will not see our last end.

Dokle æe tužiti zemlja, i trava svega polja sahnuti sa zloæe onijeh koji žive u njoj? nesta sve stoke i ptica, jer govore: ne vidi kraja našega.

5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of peace, [in which] thou hast trusted, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Kad si trèao s pješcima pa te umoriše, kako æeš se utrkivati s konjma? i kad ti je tako u zemlji mirnoj, u koju se uzdaš, šta æeš èiniti kad ustane Jordan?

6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yes, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.

Jer i braæa tvoja i dom oca tvojega, i oni te iznevjeriše, i oni vièu za tobom iza glasa. Ne vjeruj im, ako bi ti i prijateljski govorili.

7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

Ostavih dom svoj, napustih našljedstvo svoje; što bijaše milo duši mojoj, dadoh ga u ruke neprijateljima njegovijem.

8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.

Našljedstvo moje posta mi kao lav u šumi, pušta glas svoj na mene, zato mi omrznu.

9 My heritage [is] to me [as] a speckled bird, the birds around [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

Našljedstvo moje posta mi ptica grabljiva; ptice, sletite se na nju, skupite se svi zvjerovi poljski, hodite da jedete.

10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Pastiri mnogi pokvariæe moj vinograd, potlaèiæe dio moj, mili dio moj obratiæe u golu pustoš.

11 They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth [it] to heart.

Obratiæe ga u pustoš, opustošen plakaæe preda mnom; sva æe ta zemlja opustjeti, jer niko ne uzima na um.

12 The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of the land even to the other [end] of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

Na sva visoka mjesta po pustinji doæi æe zatiraèi; jer æe maè Gospodnji proždirati od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga, neæe biti mira nijednom tijelu.

13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit; and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

Sijaæe pšenicu, a trnje æe žeti; muèiæe se, a koristi neæe imati, i stidjeæe se ljetine svoje, sa žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.

14 Thus saith the LORD against all my evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

Ovako govori Gospod za sve zle susjede moje, koji diraju našljedstvo što dadoh narodu svojemu Izrailju: evo, ja æu ih poèupati iz zemlje njihove, i dom Judin išèupaæu isred njih.

15 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

A kad ih išèupam, opet æu se smilovati na njih, i dovešæu opet svakoga njih na našljedstvo njegovo i svakoga u zemlju njegovu.

16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

I ako dobro nauèe putove naroda mojega, da se zaklinju mojim imenom: tako da je živ Gospod! kao što su oni uèili moj narod da se kune Valom, tada æe se sazidati usred naroda mojega.

17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

Ako li ne poslušaju, tada æu išèupati sasvijem taki narod i zatrti, govori Gospod.
