< Плач Јеремијин 2 >

1 Како обастре Господ облаком у гневу свом кћер сионску! Сврже с неба на земљу славу Израиљеву, и не опомену се подножја ногу својих у дан гнева свог!
How the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Господ потре немилице све станове Јаковљеве, развали у гневу свом градове кћери Јудине, и на земљу обори, оскврни царство и кнезове његове.
The LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.
3 Одби у жестоком гневу сав рог Израиљу, обрати натраг десницу своју од непријатеља, и распали се на Јакова као огањ пламени, који прождире све око себе.
He has cut off in fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 Натеже лук свој као непријатељ, подиже десницу своју као противник, и поби све што беше драго очима; на шатор кћери сионске просу као огањ гнев свој.
He has bent his bow like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 Господ поста као непријатељ; потре Израиља, потре све дворе његове, раскопа све градове његове, и умножи кћери Јудиној жалост и јад.
The LORD has become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Развали му ограду као врту; потре место састанцима његовим; Господ врже у заборав на Сиону празнике и суботу, и у жестини гнева свог одбаци цара и свештеника.
He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. The LORD has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
7 Одбаци Господ олтар свој, омрзе на светињу своју, предаде у руке непријатељима зидове двора сионских; стаде их вика у дому Господњем као на празник.
The LORD has rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 Господ науми да раскопа зид кћери сионске, растеже уже, и не одврати руке своје да не затре, и ојади опкоп и зид, изнемогоше скупа.
The LORD has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
9 Утонуше у земљу врата њена, поломи и потре преворнице њене; цар њен и кнезови њени међу народима су; закона нема, и пророци њени не добијају утваре од Господа.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
10 Старешине кћери сионске седе на земљи и ћуте, посуле су прахом главу и припасале кострет; обориле су к земљи главе своје девојке јерусалимске.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Ишчилеше ми очи од суза, утроба се моја усколебала, просипа се на земљу јетра моја од погибли кћери народа мог, јер деца и која сисају обамиру на улицама градским.
My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 Говоре матерама својим: Где је жито и вино? Обамиру као рањеници на улицама градским, и испуштају душу своју у наручју матера својих.
They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.
13 Кога ћу ти узети за сведока? С чим ћу те изједначити, кћери јерусалимска? Какву ћу ти прилику наћи, да те утешим, девојко, кћери сионска? Јер је несрећа твоја велика као море, ко ће те исцелити?
What shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Пророци твоји пророковаше ти лаж и безумље, и не откриваше безакоња твог да би одвратили ропство твоје; него ти казиваше утваре лажне и које ће те прогнати.
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.
15 Пљескају рукама над тобом сви који пролазе, звижде и машу главом за кћерју јерусалимском: То ли је град, за који говораху да је права лепота, радост свој земљи?
All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"
16 Разваљују уста на те сви непријатељи твоји, звижде и шкргућу зубима говорећи: Прождресмо; ово је доиста дан који чекасмо; дочекасмо, видесмо.
All your enemies have opened wide their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."
17 Учини Господ шта науми, испуни реч своју, коју каза одавна; разори немилице и развесели тобом непријатеља, подиже рог противницима твојим.
The LORD has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 Виче срце њихово ка Господу: Зиде кћери сионске, проливај потоком сузе дан и ноћ, не дај себи мира, и зеница ока твог да не стаје.
Their heart cried to the LORD. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.
19 Устани, вичи обноћ, у почетку страже, проливај срце своје као воду пред Господом, подижи к Њему руке своје за душу деце своје која обамиру од глади на угловима својих улица.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 Погледај, Господе, и види, коме си овако учинио. Еда ли жене једу пород свој, децу коју носе у наручју? Еда ли се убија у светињи Господњој свештеник и пророк?
Look, LORD, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the LORD?
21 Леже на земљи по улицама деца и старци, девојке моје и младићи моји падоше од мача, побио си их у дан гнева свог и поклао не жалећи.
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.
22 Сазвао си као на празник страхоте моје од свуда, и у дан гнева Господњег нико не утече нити оста. Које на руку носих и отхраних, њих ми непријатељ мој поби.
You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of the LORD's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
