Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel!
Slušajte rijeè koju vam govori Gospod, dome Izrailjev.
2 The LORD says, “Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
Ovako veli Gospod: ne uèite se putu kojim idu narodi, i od znaka nebeskih ne plašite se, jer se od njih plaše narodi.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
Jer su uredbe u naroda taština, jer sijeku drvo u šumi, djelo ruku umjetnièkih sjekirom;
4 They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it cannot move.
Srebrom i zlatom ukrašuju ga, klinima i èekiæima utvrðuju ga da se ne pomièe;
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak. They must be carried, because they cannot move. Do not be afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
Stoje pravo kao palme, ne govore; treba ih nositi, jer ne mogu iæi; ne boj ih se, jer ne mogu zla uèiniti, a ne mogu ni dobra uèiniti.
6 There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great in might.
Niko nije kao ti, Gospode; velik si i veliko je ime tvoje u sili.
7 Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
Ko se ne bi tebe bojao, care nad narodima! jer tebi to pripada; jer meðu svijem mudarcima u naroda i u svijem carstvima njihovijem nema takoga kakav si ti.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
Nego su svi ludi i bezumni, drvo je nauka o taštini.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skillful men.
Srebro kovano donosi se iz Tarsisa i zlato iz Ufaza, djelo umjetnièko i ruku zlatarskih, odijelo im je od porfire i skerleta, sve je djelo umjetnièko.
10 But the LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
A Gospod je pravi Bog, Bog živi i car vjeèni, od njegove srdnje trese se zemlja, i gnjeva njegova ne mogu podnijeti narodi.
11 “You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
Ovako im recite: bogova, koji nijesu naèinili neba ni zemlje, nestaæe sa zemlje i ispod neba.
12 God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
On je naèinio zemlju silom svojom, utvrdio vasiljenu mudrošæu svojom, i razumom svojim razastro nebesa;
13 When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
On kad pusti glas svoj, buèe vode na nebesima, podiže paru s krajeva zemaljskih, pušta munje s daždem, i izvodi vjetar iz staja njegovijeh.
14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Svaki èovjek posta bezuman od znanja, svaki se zlatar osramoti likom rezanijem, jer su laž liveni likovi njegovi, i nema duha u njima.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
Taština su, djelo prijevarno; kad ih pohodim, poginuæe.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
Nije taki dio Jakovljev, jer je tvorac svemu, i Izrailj mu je našljedstvo, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama.
17 Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
Pokupi iz zemlje trg svoj ti, koja sjediš u gradu.
18 For the LORD says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
Jer ovako veli Gospod: gle, ja æu izbaciti kao praæom stanovnike ove zemlje, i pritijesniæu ih da osjete.
19 Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
Teško meni od muke moje, reæi æe; ljuta je rana moja; a ja rekoh: to je bol, treba da ga podnosim.
20 My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
Moj je šator opustošen i sva uža moja pokidana, sinovi moji otidoše od mene i nema ih, nema više nikoga da razapne šator moj i digne zavjese moje.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
Jer pastiri postaše bezumni i Gospoda ne tražiše; zato ne biše sreæni, i sve se stado njihovo rasprša.
22 The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
Gle, ide glas i vreva velika iz sjeverne zemlje da obrati gradove Judine u pustoš, u stan zmajevski.
23 LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
Znam, Gospode, da put èovjeèji nije u njegovoj vlasti niti je èovjeku koji hodi u vlasti da upravlja koracima svojim.
24 LORD, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
Karaj me, Gospode, ali s mjerom, ne u gnjevu svom, da me ne bi zatro.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
Izlij gnjev svoj na narode koji te ne poznaju, i na plemena koja ne prizivlju imena tvojega, jer proždriješe Jakova, proždriješe ga da ga nema, i naselje njegovo opustiše.
