Jeremiah 14
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji o suši.
2 Judah mourneth, and her gates languish; they are black to the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Juda tuži, i vrata su mu žalosna; leže na zemlji u crno zaviti; vika iz Jerusalima podiže se.
3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, [and] found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
Najveæi izmeðu njih šalju najmanje na vodu; došavši na studence ne nalaze vode, vraæaju se s praznijem sudovima svojim, stide se i srame se i pokrivaju glavu svoju.
4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain on the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Zemlja je ispucala, jer ne bješe dažda na zemlji; zato se težaci stide i pokrivaju glavu svoju.
5 Yes, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
I košuta u polju ostavlja mlade svoje, jer nema trave.
6 And the wild asses stood in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes failed, because [there was] no grass.
I divlji magarci stojeæi na visovima vuku u se vjetar kao zmajevi, oèi im išèilješe, jer nema trave.
7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou [it] for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
Kad bezakonja naša svjedoèe na nas, Gospode, uèini radi imena svojega; jer je mnogo odmeta naših, tebi sagriješismo.
8 O the hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble, why shouldst thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a way-faring man [that] turneth aside to tarry for a night?
Nade Izrailjev! spasitelju njegov u nevolji! zašto si kao tuðin u ovoj zemlji i kao putnik koji se uvrati da prenoæi?
9 Why shouldst thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man [that] cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, [art] in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
Zašto si kao umoran èovjek, kao junak, koji ne može izbaviti? Ta, ti si usred nas, Gospode, i ime je tvoje prizvano na nas; nemoj nas ostaviti.
10 Thus saith the LORD to this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not restrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Ovako govori Gospod za narod ovaj: milo im je da se skitaju, ne ustavljaju nogu svojih, zato nijesu mili Gospodu; sada æe se opomenuti bezakonja njihova i pohodiæe grijehe njihove.
11 Then said the LORD to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good.
Potom reèe mi Gospod: ne moli se za taj narod da bi mu bilo dobro.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Ako æe i postiti, neæu uslišiti vike njihove; i ako æe prinijeti žrtve paljenice i dar, neæe mi to ugoditi, nego maèem i glaðu i pomorom pomoriæu ih.
13 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say to them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
Tada rekoh: oh, Gospode Gospode, evo, proroci im govore: neæete vidjeti maèa, i neæe biti gladi u vas, nego æu vam dati mir pouzdan na ovom mjestu.
14 Then the LORD said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoken to them: they prophesy to you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart.
A Gospod mi reèe: laž prorokuju ti proroci u moje ime, nijesam ih poslao, niti sam im zapovjedio, niti sam im govorio; lažne utvare i gatanje i ništavilo i prijevaru srca svojega oni vam prorokuju.
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Zato ovako veli Gospod za proroke koji prorokuju u moje ime a ja ih nijesam poslao, i govore: neæe biti maèa ni gladi u ovoj zemlji: od maèa i gladi izginuæe ti proroci.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the famine, and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
A narod ovaj kojemu oni prorokuju biæe povaljan po ulicama Jerusalimskim od gladi i maèa, i neæe biti nikoga da ih pogrebe, njih, žene njihove i sinove njihove i kæeri njihove; tako æu izliti na njih zloæu njihovu.
17 Therefore thou shalt say this word to them; Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
Reci im dakle ovu rijeè: neka oèi moje liju suze danju i noæu i neka ne prestaju, jer djevojka kæi mojega naroda satr se veoma, od udarca preljuta.
18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yes, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
Ako izidem u polje, eto pobijenijeh maèem; ako uðem u grad, eto iznemoglijeh od gladi; jer i prorok i sveštenik otidoše u zemlju koje ne znaju.
19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and [there is] no healing for us? we looked for peace, and [there is] no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
Eda li si sasvijem odbacio Judu? eda li je omrzao duši tvojoj Sion? Zašto si nas udario tako da nam nema lijeka? Èekasmo mir ali nema dobra; i vrijeme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.
20 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, [and] the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.
Priznajemo, Gospode, zloæu svoju, bezakonje otaca svojih, zgriješili smo ti.
21 Do not abhor [us], for thy name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Nemoj nas odvræi radi imena svojega; nemoj naružiti prijestola slave svoje, opomeni se zavjeta svojega s nama, nemoj ga ukinuti.
22 Are there [any] among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these [things].
Ima li meðu taštinama u naroda koji da daje dažd? ili nebesa daju li sitan dažd? Nijesi li ti to, Gospode Bože naš? Zato tebe èekamo, jer ti èiniš sve to.
