Jeremija 9

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 »Da imam u pustinji obitavalište, ostavio bih narod svoj i daleko od njih otišao. Jer svi su oni preljubnici, rulja izdajnička.	1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? and I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
2 Kao lûk napinju jezik, laž, a ne istina, prevladava na zemlji. Iz zla u zlo srljaju, mene ne poznaju« – riječ je Jahvina!	2 Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, and I will leave my people, and depart from them? because they are all adulterers, an assembly of transgressors.
3 »Nek se svatko čuva prijatelja, a brat bratu neka ne vjeruje, jer brat svaki nasljeduje Jakova, a svaki prijatelj raznosi klevete.	3 And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.
4 Jedan drugoga varaju, istine ne govore, privikoše jezik da govori laži; izopačeni, ne mogu se više vratiti.	4 Let every man take heed of his neighbor, and let his not trust in any brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully.
5 Nasilje na nasilje! Prijevara za prijevarom! Neće da spoznaju mene« – riječ je Jahvina.	5 And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.
6 Stog ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama: »Evo, pretopit ću ih i ispitati, ta kako da i postupaju prema kćeri naroda moga?	6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Jezik im je strijela ubojita, na ustima riječ prijevarna. ‘Mir s tobom’, pozdravljaju bližnjega, ali mu u srcu zamku spremaju.	7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
8 Pa da ih zbog toga ne kaznim« – riječ je Jahvina – »narodu takvu da se ne osvetim?«	8 Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
9 »Zaplačite, tugujte nad brdima, nad ispašama pustinjskim naričite! Jer izgorješe, nitko ne prolazi, glas stadâ više se ne čuje. Od ptice nebeske do stoke sve pobježe, svega nestade.	9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
10 Od Jeruzalema učinit ću gomilu kamenja, brlog čagaljski, gradove judejske pretvorit ću u pustoš gdje nitko ne stanuje.«	10 For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
11 Tko je mudar da bi to razumio, kome su usta Jahvina govorila da objavi zašto zemlja izgorje kao pustinja i nitko njome više ne prolazi?	11 And I will make Jerusalem to be heaps of sand, and dens of dragons: and I will make the cities of Juda desolate, for want of an inhabitant.
12 I reče Jahve: »Jer ostaviše Zakon moj koji im dadoh i jer ne slušahu glasa mojega, niti ga slijeđahu,	12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
13 nego slijeđahu okorjelo srce svoje i baale kojima ih oci njihovi naučiše,	13 And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.
14 ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: ‘Evo, nahranit ću narod ovaj pelinom i napojiti ga vodom zatrovanom.	14 But they have gone after the perverseness of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
15 I raspršit ću ih među narode kojih ne poznavahu oni ni oci njihovi. A za njima ću poslati mač da ih zatre.’« Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama:	15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 »Pazite! Pozovite narikače! Neka dođu! Pošaljite po najvještije! Neka dođu!	16 And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.
17 Neka pohite da zapjevaju tužbalicu nad nama! Da suze poteku iz očiju naših, da voda poteče s trepavica naših!	17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:
18 Sa Siona dopire tužbalica: ‘O, kako smo upropašteni, osramoćeni veoma! Jer moramo zemlju ostaviti i stanove svoje napustiti.’«	18 Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
19 I zato, o žene, čujte riječ Jahvinu, i neka uho vaše primi riječ iz usta njegovih. Učite kćeri svoje jadati, jedna drugu naricati:	19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.
20 »Smrt se ušulja kroz prozore naše, uđe u dvore naše, djecu pokosi nasred ulice, mladiće nasred trgova.	20 Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbor mourning.
21 I mrtva tjelesa leže kao gnoj po oranicama, kao snoplje za žeteocem, a nikoga da ih skupi.«	21 For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
22 Ovako govori Jahve: »Mudri neka se ne hvale mudrošću, ni junak neka se ne hvali hrabrošću, ni bogati neka se ne hvali bogatstvom.	22 Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
23 A tko se hvaliti hoće, neka se hvali time što ima mudrost da mene spozna. Jer ja sam Jahve koji tvori dobrotu, pravo i pravdu na zemlji, jer to mi je milo« – riječ je Jahvina.	23 Thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the strong man glory in his strength, and let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 »Evo, bliže se dani« – riječ je Jahvina – »kaznit ću sve koji su obrezani na tijelu:	24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord.
25 Egipat, Judeju, Edom, sinove Amonove i Moab i sve one što briju zaliske i prebivaju u pustinji. Jer svi su ti narodi neobrezani i sav dom Izraelov neobrezana je srca!«	25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin circumcised.
	26 Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that have their hair polled round, that dwell in the desert: for all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
