< Lamentations 2 >

1 Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger!
Kako obastrije Gospod oblakom u gnjevu svom kæer Sionsku! svrže s neba na zemlju slavu Izrailjevu, i ne opomenu se podnožja nogu svojih u dan gnjeva svojega!
2 Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof.
Gospod potr nemilice sve stanove Jakovljeve, razvali u gnjevu svom gradove kæeri Judine, i na zemlju obori, oskvrni carstvo i knezove njegove.
3 Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.
Odbi u žestokom gnjevu sav rog Izrailju, obrati natrag desnicu svoju od neprijatelja, i raspali se na Jakova kao oganj plameni, koji proždire sve oko sebe.
4 Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire.
Nateže luk svoj kao neprijatelj, podiže desnicu svoju kao protivnik, i pobi sve što bješe drago oèima; na šator kæeri Sionske prosu kao oganj gnjev svoj.
5 He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women.
Gospod posta kao neprijatelj; potr Izrailja, potr sve dvore njegove, raskopa sve gradove njegove, i umnoži kæeri Judinoj žalost i jad.
6 Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.
Razvali mu ogradu kao vrtu; potr mjesto sastancima njegovijem; Gospod vrže u zaborav na Sionu praznike i subotu, i u žestini gnjeva svojega odbaci cara i sveštenika.
7 Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
Odbaci Gospod oltar svoj, omrze na svetinju svoju, predade u ruke neprijateljima zidove dvora Sionskih; stade ih vika u domu Gospodnjem kao na praznik.
8 Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
Gospod naumi da raskopa zid kæeri Sionske, rasteže uže, i ne odvrati ruke svoje da ne zatre, i ojadi opkop i zid, iznemogoše skupa.
9 Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
Utonuše u zemlju vrata njezina, polomi i potr prijevornice njezine; car njezin i knezovi njezini meðu narodima su; zakona nema, i proroci njezini ne dobijaju utvare od Gospoda.
10 Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Starješine kæeri Sionske sjede na zemlji i muèe, posule su prahom glavu i pripasale kostrijet; oborile su k zemlji glave svoje djevojke Jerusalimske.
11 Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
Išèilješe mi oèi od suza, utroba se moja uskolebala, prosipa se na zemlju jetra moja od pogibli kæeri naroda mojega, jer djeca i koja sisaju obamiru na ulicama gradskim.
12 Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.
Govore materama svojim: gdje je žito i vino? obamiru kao ranjenici na ulicama gradskim, i ispuštaju dušu svoju u naruèju matera svojih.
13 Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee?
Koga æu ti uzeti za svjedoka? s èim æu te izjednaèiti, kæeri Jerusalimska? kaku æu ti priliku naæi, da te utješim, djevojko, kæeri Sionska? jer je nesreæa tvoja velika kao more, ko æe te iscijeliti?
14 Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.
Proroci tvoji prorokovaše ti laž i bezumlje, i ne otkrivaše bezakonja tvojega da bi odvratili ropstvo tvoje; nego ti kazivaše utvare lažne i koje æe te prognati.
15 Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth?
Pljeskaju rukama nad tobom svi koji prolaze, zvižde i mašu glavom za kæerju Jerusalimskom: to li je grad, za koji govorahu da je prava ljepota, radost svoj zemlji?
16 Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it.
Razvaljuju usta na te svi neprijatelji tvoji, zvižde i škrguæu zubima govoreæi: proždrijesmo; ovo je doista dan koji èekasmo; doèekasmo, vidjesmo.
17 Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
Uèini Gospod što naumi, ispuni rijeè svoju, koju kaza odavna; razori nemilice, i razveseli tobom neprijatelja, podiže rog protivnicima tvojim.
18 Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
Vièe srce njihovo ka Gospodu: zide kæeri Sionske, proljevaj potokom suze dan i noæ, ne daj sebi mira, i zjenica oka tvojega da ne staje.
19 Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.
Ustani, vièi obnoæ; u poèetku straže, proljevaj srce svoje kao vodu pred Gospodom, podiži k njemu ruke svoje za dušu djece svoje koja obamiru od gladi na uglovima svojih ulica.
20 Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Pogledaj, Gospode, i vidi, kome si ovako uèinio. Eda li žene jedu porod svoj, djecu koju nose u naruèju? eda li se ubija u svetinji Gospodnjoj sveštenik i prorok?
21 Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
Leže na zemlji po ulicama djeca i starci, djevojke moje i mladiæi moji padoše od maèa, pobio si ih u dan gnjeva svojega i poklao ne žaleæi.
22 Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them.
Sazvao si kao na praznik strahote moje otsvuda, i u dan gnjeva Gospodnjega niko ne uteèe niti osta. Koje na ruku nosih i othranih, njih mi neprijatelj moj pobi.
