Jeremiah 16

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

2 Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and daughters in this place.

Nemoj se ženiti, i da nemaš sinova ni kæeri na tom mjestu.

3 For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers — those bearing them, And of their fathers — those begetting them in this land:

Jer ovako govori Gospod za sinove i kæeri što se rode na tom mjestu i za matere njihove koje ih rode, i za oce njihove koji ih rode u toj zemlji:

4 Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.

Ljutom æe smræu pomrijeti, neæe biti oplakani niti æe se pogrepsti, biæe gnoj po zemlji, i od maèa i od gladi izginuæe, i mrtva æe tjelesa njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.

5 For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies.

Jer ovako govori Gospod: ne ulazi u kuæu u kojoj je žalost, i ne idi da plaèeš niti ih žali; jer sam uzeo mir svoj od toga naroda, govori Gospod, milost i žaljenje.

6 And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them.

Pomrijeæe mali i veliki u ovoj zemlji, neæe biti pogrebeni niti æe se oplakati, niti æe se ko rezati ni glave striæi za njima.

7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.

Neæe im se dati hljeba u žalosti da se potješe za mrtvijem, niti æe ih napojiti iz èaše radi utjehe za ocem ili za materom.

8 A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,

Tako ne ulazi u kuæu u kojoj je žalost da sjedeš s njima da jedeš i piješ.

9 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.

Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu uèiniti da na ovom mjestu pred vašim oèima i za vaših dana ne bude glasa radosna ni glasa vesela, glasa ženikova ni glasa nevjestina.

10 And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, 'For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?'

A kad kažeš tome narodu sve ove rijeèi, ako ti reku: zašto izreèe Gospod sve to veliko zlo na nas? i kako je bezakonje naše ili kaki je grijeh naš, kojim zgriješismo Gospodu Bogu svojemu?

11 Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept,

Tada im reci: jer oci vaši ostaviše mene, govori Gospod, i idoše za drugim bogovima i služiše im i klanjaše im se, a mene ostaviše i zakona mojega ne držaše;

12 Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me.

A vi još gore èinite nego oci vaši, jer eto idete svaki po misli srca svojega zloga ne slušajuæi mene.

13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace.

Zato æu vas izbaciti iz ove zemlje u zemlju koje ne poznaste ni vi ni oci vaši, i ondje æete služiti drugim bogovima dan i noæ dokle vam ne uèinim milost.

14 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,'

Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad se neæe više govoriti: tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje Misirske;

15 But, 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.

Nego: tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje sjeverne i iz svijeh zemalja u koje ih bješe razagnao! Jer æu ih opet dovesti u zemlju njihovu koju sam dao ocima njihovijem.

16 Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.

Gle, ja æu poslati mnoge ribare, govori Gospod, da ih love, i poslije æu poslati mnoge lovce da ih love po svakoj gori i po svakom humu i po rasjelinama kamenijem.

17 For Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.

Jer oèi moje paze na sve putove njihove, nijesu sakriveni od mene, niti je bezakonje njihovo zaklonjeno od mojih oèiju.

18 And I have recompensed a first — A second time — their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.

I platiæu im prvo dvojinom za bezakonje njihovo i za grijeh njihov, što oskvrniše zemlju moju strvima gadova svojih, i našljedstvo moje napuniše gnusobama svojim.

19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.

Gospode, krjeposti moja i grade moj i utoèište moje u nevolji, k tebi æe doæi narodi od krajeva zemaljskih, i reæi æe: doista oci naši imaše laž, i taštinu i što nimalo ne pomaže.

20 Doth man make for himself gods, And they — no gods?

Eda li æe èovjek naèiniti sebi bogove, koji ipak nijesu bogovi?

21 Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name [is] Jehovah!

Zato, evo, ja æu ih nauèiti sada, pokazaæu im ruku svoju i silu svoju, da poznadu da mi je ime Gospod.
