Jeremiah 15
1 Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
I reče mi Jahve: “Kad bi i Mojsije i Samuel stali pred lice moje, ne bi mi se duša obratila narodu tome. Otjeraj ih ispred lice mojega, neka idu od mene!
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say to you, Where shall we go forth? then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
Ako te upitaju: 'Kamo da idemo?' odgovori im: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Tko je za smrt, u smrt! Tko je za mač, pod mač! Tko je za glad, u glad! Tko je za izgnanstvo, u izgnanstvo!'
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
Poslat ću na njih četiri nevolje - riječ je Jahvina: mač da ih ubija, pse da ih rastrgaju, ptice nebeske i zvjerad da ih žderu i zatiru.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
I učinit ću ih užasom svim kraljevstvima zemaljskim, i to zbog Manašea, sina Ezekijina, kralja judejskoga - za sva zla što ih počini u Jeruzalemu.”
5 For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to ask how you do?
“Tko da se smiluje tebi, Jeruzaleme, tko da te požali? Tko li će se svratit' da te zapita kako ti je?
6 You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting.
Ti me odbaci - riječ je Jahvina - i leđa mi okrenu. I zato na te digoh ruku zatornicu. Dojadi mi da ti uvijek praštam!
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
Zato ću ih izvijati vijačom na vratima zemlje ove. Narod svoj ću lišit' djece i istrijebit' ga, jer se ne obraćaju sa svojih putova.
8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall on it suddenly, and terrors on the city.
Bit će u njih više udovica negoli pijeska morskoga. Na majke mladih ratnika dovest ću zatornika, usred podneva, i pustit ću na njih iznenada užas i strahotu.
9 She that has borne seven languishes: she has given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she has been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.
Onesvijestila se roditeljka sedmero djece, dušu ispustila. Sunce joj zađe još za dana: postiđena, osramoćena je. A što od njih ostane, pod mač ću vrći pred njihovim dušmanima” - riječ je Jahvina.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them does curse me.
Jao meni, majko, što si me rodila, da svađam se i prepirem sa svom zemljom. Nikom ne uzajmih, ni od koga zajma ne uzeh, a ipak svi me proklinju.
11 The LORD said, Truly it shall be well with your remnant; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Uistinu, o Jahve, nisam li ti služio za njihovo dobro, nisam li tražio milost u tebe za neprijatelja svoga, u doba nevolje, u danima tjeskobe njegove? Ti to dobro znaš!
12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
Može l' se željezo slomiti, željezo sa Sjevera i mjed?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Tvoje bogatstvo i blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za sva bezakonja svoja po svoj zemlji.
14 And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ, jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vas sažgati, koji će protiv vas buknuti.
15 O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your long-suffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
Jahve, spomeni me se i pohodi me i kazni progonitelje moje. Ne daj da propadnem zbog sporosti srdžbe tvoje! Spomeni se da tebe radi podnosim sramotu.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
Kad mi dođoše riječi tvoje, ja sam ih gutao: riječi tvoje ushitiše i obradovaše srce moje. Jer sam se tvojim zvao imenom, o Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
Nikad sjedio nisam u društvu veseljaka da se razveselim. Pod težinom ruke tvoje samotan živim, jer ti me jarošću prože.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether to me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
Zašto je bol moja bez prebola? Zašto je rana moja neiscjeljiva i nikako da zaraste? Ah! Hoćeš li meni biti kao potok nestalan, vodama nepouzdan?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return to you; but return not you to them.
Zato ovako govori Jahve: “Ako se vratiš, pustit ću te da mi opet služiš; ako odvojiš dragocjeno od bezvrijedna, bit ćeš usta moja. Oni će se okrenuti k tebi, al' ti se zato ne smiješ okrenuti k njima!
20 And I will make you to this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
Učinit ću od tebe za ovaj narod zid od mjedi, neosvojiv. Borit će se protiv tebe, al' te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom, da te spasim i izbavim” - riječ je Jahvina.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
“Izbavit ću te iz ruku zlikovaca i otkupiti te iz ruku silnika.”
