Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall they bring forth, The bones of the kings of Judah, and The bones of his princes, and The bones of the priests, and The bones of the prophets, and The bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,
U to vrijeme, govori Gospod, izvadiæe se iz grobova kosti careva Judinijeh i kosti knezova njegovijeh i kosti sveštenièke i kosti proroèke, i kosti stanovnika Jerusalimskih;
2 And shall spread them out—To the sun, and To the moon, and To all the host of the heavens, Whom they have loved, And whom they have served, And after whom they have walked, And whom they have sought, And to whom they have bowed themselves down, —They shall not be gathered, Neither shall they be buried, As heaps of dung on the face of the ground, shall they be.
I razmetnuæe se prema suncu i mjesecu i svoj vojsci nebeskoj, koje ljubiše i kojima služiše i za kojima idoše i koje tražiše i kojima se klanjaše; neæe se pokupiti ni pogrepsti, nego æe biti gnoj po zemlji.
3 Then shall, death, be chosen rather than life, by all the remnant of them that remain, of this wicked family, —in all the places, whither I have driven them, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
I voljeæe smrt nego život sav ostatak što ih ostane od ovoga roda zloga, što ih ostane po svijem mjestima kuda ih raždenem, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
4 Therefore shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh, Will men fall and not arise? Will one turn away, and not come back?
Još im reci: ovako veli Gospod: ko padne, ne ustaje li? ko zaðe, ne vraæa li se?
5 Wherefore hath this people of Jerusalem apostatized with an enduring apostacy, —Taken fast hold of deceit, Refused to come back?
Zašto je zašao taj narod Jerusalimski zasvagda? Drže se prijevare, neæe da se obrate.
6 I hearkened and heard—Not aright, did they speak, —Not a man, repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done! They have every one, turned to their course again, Like a horse sweeping on through the battle.
Pazio sam i slušao, ne govore pravo, nema nikoga da se kaje za zlo svoje, da reèe: što uèinih? Svaki je okrenuo svojim trkom, kao konj kad nagne u boj.
7 Even the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times, And the turtle and the swallow and the crane, observe the season for coming; But my people know not the just sentence of Yahweh.
I roda pod nebom zna svoje vrijeme, grlica i ždrao i lasta paze na vrijeme kad dolaze; a narod moj ne zna suda Gospodnjega.
8 How can ye say, Wise, are, we, And the law of Yahweh, is with us? But indeed lo! falsely, hath dealt the false pen of the scribes!
Kako govorite: mudri smo, i zakon je Gospodnji u nas? Doista, gle, laž uèini lažljiva pisaljka književnièka.
9 Ashamed are the wise, dismayed and captured! Lo! the word of Yahweh, have they rejected, And, what wisdom, have, they?
Mudarci se osramotiše, uplašiše se i uhvatiše se; eto, odbaciše rijeè Gospodnju, pa kaka im je mudrost?
10 Therefore, will I give—Their wives to others, Their fields to such as shall take possession of them, For from the least, even unto the greatest, Every one, is, wholly given to extortion: From the prophet even unto the priest, Every one, dealeth, falsely.
Zato æu dati žene njihove drugima, njive njihove onima koji æe ih naslijediti, jer od maloga do velikoga svi se dadoše na lakomstvo, i proroci i sveštenici, svi su varalice.
11 And so they have healed the grievous wound of the daughter of my people, slightly, —Saying, Peace! peace! when there was no peace!
Jer lijeèe rane kæeri naroda mojega ovlaš govoreæi: mir, mir; a mira nema.
12 Were they led to turn pale because an abominable thing, they had done? Nay! they did not, at all turn pale Nay! they did not so much as know how to exhibit shame! Therefore, shall they fall among them who are falling, In the time when they are punished, shall they be overthrown, Saith Yahweh:
Eda li se postidješe što èiniše gad? Niti se postidješe niti znaju za stid; zato æe popadati meðu onima koji padaju; kad ih pohodim, popadaæe, veli Gospod.
13 I will, surely remove, them, declareth Yahweh: There shall be no grapes on the vine Nor figs on the fig-tree, Even the leaf, hath faded, Though I have given them these things, they shall pass away from them.
Sasvijem æu ih istrijebiti, govori Gospod, nema grozda na lozi, ni smokve na drvetu, i lišæe je opalo; i što sam im dao uzeæe im se.
14 Why are, we, sitting still? Gather yourselves together and let us enter the defenced cities And let us be silent there, —For, Yahweh our God, hath put us to silence And made us drink poisoned water, Because we have sinned against Yahweh.
Što stojimo? skupite se i uðimo u tvrde gradove, i ondje muèimo; jer nas je Gospod Bog naš umuèkao napojivši nas žuèi, jer zgriješismo Gospodu.
15 A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, —For a time of healing, but lo! terror.
Èekasmo mir, ali nema dobra; i vrijeme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.
16 From Dan, was heard the snorting of his horses At the sound of the neighing of his chargers, the whole land trembled, —Yea they came in and did sat up The land and the fulness thereof, The city, and them who were dwelling therein.
Od Dana èu se frkanje konja njegovijeh, od rzanja pastuha njegovijeh sva se zemlja zatrese, doðoše i pojedoše zemlju i sve što bješe u njoj, gradove i koji življahu u njima.
17 For behold me! sending among you serpents—vipers which there is no charming, —And they shall fatally bite you declareth Yahweh.
Jer, evo, ja æu pustiti na vas zmije, aspide, od kojih nema bajanja, te æe vas ujedati, govori Gospod.
18 When I would have cheered myself against sorrow, Against me, mine own heart sickened: —
Okrijepio bih se u žalosti, ali je srce u meni iznemoglo.
19 Lo! the voice of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from a land far away, Is, Yahweh, not in Zion? Is, her King, not within her? Why, have they provoked me with their carved images, with their foreign vanities?
Eto vike kæeri naroda mojega iz daljne zemlje: zar Gospod nije u Sionu? car njegov zar nije u njemu? Zašto me razgnjeviše svojim likovima rezanijem, tuðim taštinama?
20 The harvest is passed, The fruit-gathering, is ended; And we are not saved!
Žetva je prošla, ljeto minulo, a mi se ne izbavismo.
21 For the grievous injury of the daughter of my people, I am grievously injured, —I am enshrouded in gloom, Horror, hath seized me: —
Satrven sam što je kæi naroda mojega satrvena, u žalosti sam, èudo osvoji me.
22 Balsam, is there none, in Gilead? Is there no physician, there? Why hath not appeared the healing of the daughter of my people?
Nema li balsama u Galadu? nema li ondje ljekara? zašto se dakle ne iscijeli kæi naroda mojega?
