Jeremiah 5
1 Go quickly through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and get knowledge, and make a search in her wide places if there is a man, if there is one in her who is upright, who keeps faith; and she will have my forgiveness.
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, By the living Lord; truly their oaths are false.
Ako i govore: tako da je živ Gospod! opet se krivo kunu.
3 O Lord, do not your eyes see good faith? you have given them punishment, but they were not troubled; you have sent destruction on them, but they did not take your teaching to heart: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they would not come back.
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 Then I said, But these are the poor: they are foolish, for they have no knowledge of the way of the Lord or of the behaviour desired by 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 have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.
Idem k vlastelima, i njima æu govoriti, jer oni znaju put Gospodnji, zakon Boga svojega; ali i oni izlomiše jaram, pokidaše sveze.
6 And so a lion from the woods will put them to death, a wolf of the waste land will make them waste, a leopard will keep watch on their towns, and everyone who goes out from them will be food for the beasts; because of the great number of their sins and the increase of their wrongdoing.
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 is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.
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 full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.
Jutrom su kad ustaju kao tovni konji, svaki rže za ženom bližnjega svojega.
9 Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?
Zato li neæu pohoditi? veli Gospod, i duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
10 Go up against her vines and make waste; let the destruction be complete: take away her branches, 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 people of Israel and the people of Judah have been very false to me, says the Lord.
Jer me sasvijem iznevjeri dom Izrailjev i dom Judin, veli Gospod.
12 They would have nothing to do with the Lord, saying, He will do nothing, and no evil will come to us; we will not see the sword or be short of food:
Udariše u bah Gospodu i rekoše: nije tako, neæe nas zlo zadesiti, i neæemo vidjeti maèa ni gladi.
13 And the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them; so it will be done to them.
A ti proroci otiæi æe u vjetar, i rijeèi nema u njima, njima æe biti tako.
14 For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, has said: Because you have said this, I will make my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood, and they will be burned up by it.
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 See, I will send you a nation from far away, O people of Israel, says the Lord; a strong nation and an old nation, a nation whose language is strange to you, so that you may not get the sense of their words.
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 arrows give certain death, they are all men of war.
Kojemu je tul kao grob otvoren, svi su jaki.
17 They will take all the produce of your fields, which would have been food for your sons and your daughters: they will take your flocks and your herds: they will take all your vines and your fig-trees: and with the sword they will make waste your walled towns in which you put your faith.
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 But even in those days, says the Lord, I will not let your destruction be complete.
Ali ni tada, veli Gospod, neæu vas sasvijem zatrti.
19 And it will come about, when you say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you will say to them, As you gave me up, making yourselves servants to strange gods in your land, so will you be servants to strange men in a land which 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 Say this openly in Jacob and give it out in Judah, saying,
Javite ovo u domu Jakovljevu, i oglasite u Judi, govoreæi:
21 Give ear now to this, O foolish people without sense; who have eyes but see nothing, and ears without the power of hearing:
Èujte ovo, ludi i bezumni narode, koji imate oèi a ne vidite, koji imate uši a ne èujete.
22 Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past 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 the heart of this people is uncontrolled and turned away from me; they are broken loose and gone.
Ali je u naroda ovoga srce uporno i nepokorno; otstupiše i otidoše.
24 And they do not say in their hearts, Now let us give worship to our God, who gives the rain, the winter and the spring rain, at the right time; who keeps for us the ordered weeks of the grain-cutting.
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 Through your evil-doing these things have been turned away, and your sins have kept back good from you.
Bezakonja vaša odvraæaju to, i grijesi vaši odbijaju dobro od vas.
26 For there are sinners among my people: they keep watch, like men watching for birds; they put a net and take men in it.
Jer se nalaze u narodu mom bezbožnici, koji vrebaju kao ptièari kad se pritaje, meæu zamke da hvataju ljude.
27 As the fowl-house is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: for this reason they have become great and have got wealth.
Kao krletka puna ptica tako su kuæe njihove pune prijevare; zato postaše veliki i obogatiše.
28 They have become fat and strong: they have gone far in works of evil: they give no support to the cause of the child without a father, so that they may do well; they do not see that the poor man gets his rights.
Ugojiše se, sjaju se, mimoilaze zlo, ne èine pravde ni siroèetu, i opet im je dobro, i ne daju pravice ubogima.
29 Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?
Zato li neæu pohoditi? veli Gospod, i duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takvom narodu?
30 A thing of wonder and fear has come about in the land;
Èudo i strahota biva u zemlji.
31 The prophets give false words and the priests give decisions by their direction; and my people are glad to have it so: and what will you do in the end?
Proroci prorokuju lažno, i sveštenici gospoduju preko njih, i narodu je mojemu to milo. A šta æete raditi na pošljedak?
