Jeremiah 12

Douai-Rheims	Hrvatska Biblija
¹ Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly?	¹ Prepravedan si, Jahve, da bih se mogao s tobom parbiti. Samo bih jedno s tobom raspravio: Zašto je put zlikovaca uspješan? Zašto podmuklice uživaju mir?
² Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root: they prosper and bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.	² Ti si ih posadio, i oni se ukorijeniše, rastu i plod donose. Al’ si bliz samo ustima njihovim, a daleko im od srca.
³ And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as sheep for a sacrifice, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.	³ No ti, Jahve, mene poznaješ i vidiš; ispitao si srce moje, ono je s tobom. Odvedi ih kao jagnjad na klanje, sačuvaj ih za dan pokolja.
⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end.	⁴ Dokle će zemlja tugovati, dokle će trava na svem polju sahnuti? Zbog opačine njezinih stanovnika ugiba stoka i ptice! Jer govore: »Bog ne vidi naših putova.«
⁵ If thou hast wearied with running with footmen, how canst thou contend with horses? and if thou hast been secure in a land of peace, what wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan?	⁵ Ako s pješacima trčeći sustaješ, kako ćeš se s konjima utrkivati? Kad ni u mirnoj zemlji nemaš uzdanja, kako ćeš onda kroz guštare jordanske?
⁶ For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee.	⁶ Jer su i braća tvoja i obitelj tvoja licemjerni prema tebi! I oni te iza leđa ocrnjuju na sva usta. Ne vjeruj im kad ti zbore umilno.
⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies.	⁷ Ostavih dom svoj, napustih baštinu svoju; miljenicu srca svoga dadoh u ruke dušmana njenih.
⁸ My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: is hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it.	⁸ Baština moja postade za me kao lav u šumi. Zarikao je na me, zato ga zamrzih.
⁹ Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? Is it as a bird died throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all the beasts of the earth, make haste to devour.	⁹ Zar je baština moja šarena ptica oko koje odasvud druge slijeću? Hajde, skupite se, sve divlje zvijeri, dođite žderati.
¹⁰ Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness.	¹⁰ Mnogi pastiri opustošiše moj vinograd, zgaziše nasljedstvo moje; dragu mi baštinu pretvoriše u golu pustinju,
¹¹ They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart.	¹¹ pretvoriše u pustoš, žalosna je pustoš preda mnom. Sva je zemlja pusta jer nikog u srce ne dira.
¹² The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh.	¹² Preko svih goleti pustinjskih nagrnuše pustošnici. Jer u Jahve je mač što proždire: s jednog kraja zemlje do drugog nema mira nijednome tijelu.
¹³ They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.	¹³ Sijahu pšenicu, a požeše trnje: iscrpli se bez koristi. Stide se uroda svoga sve zbog jarosti Jahvine.
¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord against all my wicked neighbors, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them.	¹⁴ Ovako govori Jahve: »Sve zle susjede svoje, koji su dirnuli u baštinu što sam je dao narodu svome Izraelu, ja ću iščupati iz zemlje njihove. Ali dom Judin iščupat ću iz njih.
¹⁵ And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and I will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man to his land.	¹⁵ A kad ih iščupam, ponovo ću im se smilovati i povesti natrag, svakoga na baštinu i zemlju njegovu.
¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people.	¹⁶ Pa ako doista nauče putove naroda mojega i stanu se zaklinjati imenom mojim – ‘Živoga mi Jahve’ – kao što su učili moj narod da se zaklinje Baalom, tada će se opet nastaniti usred naroda moga.
¹⁷ But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.	¹⁷ Ako pak ne poslušaju, onda ću takav narod potpuno iščupati i zatrti« – riječ je Jahvina.
