Baruch 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,	1 Zato je Gospod izvršio prijetnju koju je naviještao protiv nas, protiv naših sudaca koji su sudili Izraelu, protiv naših kraljeva i knezova, protiv naroda Izraelova i Judina:
2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses;	2 pod čitavim nebom nije se još dogodilo ništa slično onome što se dogodilo u Jeruzalemu, prema onome što bijaše zapisano u Mojsijevu zakonu –
3 That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.	3 da se jelo meso sina i kćeri.
4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.	4 Predao ih je vlasti svih kraljevstava oko nas, na porugu i prokletstvo među svim okolnim narodima kamo ih je raspršio Gospod.
5 Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.	5 Bijahu podjarmljeni umjesto da budu gospodari, jer – sagriješismo Gospodu, Bogu svojemu, ne poslušavši glasa njegova.
6 To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.	6 Da, pravedan je Gospod, Bog naš! Ali nama – nama treba da se danas zacrvene od stida obrazi, nama i ocima našim.
7 For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us	7 Oborila se na nas sva zla kojima nam Gospod bijaše zaprijetio.
8 Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.	8 Mi pak nismo umolili lice Gospodnje odvrativši se od misli svojih opakih srdaca.
9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.	9 Gospod tada uze bdjeti nad nevoljama koje je navalio na nas; jer pravedan je Gospod u svim djelima koja nam je naložio,
10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.	10 ali mi nismo slušali njegova glasa niti smo hodili po zapovijedima koje je Gospod pred nas stavio.'«
11 And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:	11 »‘A sada, Gospode, Bože Izraelov, koji si snažnom rukom izveo narod svoj iz Egipta znamenjima i čudesima, velikom snagom i ispruženom desnicom, proslavivši tako ime svoje do dana današnjega:
12 O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.	12 mi smo sagriješili, bezbožni smo bili i nepravedni pred svim tvojim zapovijedima, Gospode, Bože naš!
13 Let thy wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us.	13 Neka se odvrati gnjev tvoj od nas, jer smo samo malen ostatak među narodima kamo si nas raspršio.
14 Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:	14 Usliši, Gospode, molitvu našu i vapaj: izbavi nas poradi sebe i udijeli nam milost svoju, pred licem onih koji su nas u sužanjstvo odveli,
15 That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.	15 da sva zemlja zna da si ti Gospod, Bog naš, jer Izrael i njegov rod nosi tvoje ime.
16 O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.	16 Obazri se, Gospode, iz svetoga svoga prebivališta i svrni misao na nas, prikloni uho i poslušaj,
17 Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:	17 otvori oči i pogledaj: ta mrtvi u podzemnom svijetu – kojima je iz utrobe oduzet dah – ne, oni više ne kazuju slave i pravednosti Gospodnje;
18 But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.	18 samo duša ojađena, koja hodi pognuto i iznemoglo, ugaslih očiju, duša pregladnjela, Gospode, iskazuje tvoju slavu i pravednost!
19 Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.	19 O Gospode, Bože naš! Ne upravljamo svoje prošnje tvome licu zbog zasluga svojih otaca i svojih kraljeva;
20 For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying,	20 nego jer si ti poslao na nas gnjev svoj i srdžbu svoju, kako si bio navijestio po prorocima, slugama svojim, ovim riječima:
21 Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.	21 ‘Ovako govori Gospod: Prignite šiju i služite kralju babilonskom, da ostanete u zemlji koju sam dao ocima vašim.
22 But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon,	22 Ne poslušate li nalog Gospodnji da služite kralju babilonskom,
23 I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.	23 učinit ću da iz gradova judejskih i s trgova jeruzalemskih nestane pjesme radosti i pjesme veselja, pjesme zaručnika i pjesme zaručnice, i sva će zemlja postati pustoš bez stanovnika.'
24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.	24 Ali mi nismo poslušali glasa tvog da služimo kralju babilonskom, i ti si tada izvršio prijetnje koje si navijestio po prorocima, slugama svojim, da će kosti kraljeva naših i kosti naših otaca biti izbačene iz svog počivališta.
25 And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.	25 I doista, one bjehu izbačene na žegu dana i studen noći. I umiralo se u strašnim mukama od kuge, gladi i mača.
26 And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.	26 A od kuće koja nosi ime tvoje učinio si ono što je ona danas, zbog zloće kuće Izraelove i kuće Judine.
27 O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,	27 Pa ipak, Gospode, Bože naš, postupio si s nama po svoj svojoj dobroti i prevelikoj blagosti,
28 As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,	28 kako si obećao po sluzi svome Mojsiju onoga dana kada si mu zapovjedio da napiše Zakon tvoj za sinove Izraela ovim riječima:
29 If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.	29 ‘Ako ne poslušate glasa mog, ovo veliko i bezbrojno mnoštvo zacijelo će se smanjiti među narodima kamo ću ih raspršiti;
30 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.	30 a znam, taj narod tvrde šije neće poslušati. Ali u zemlji svog sužanjstva oni će se opametiti
31 And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:	31 i spoznati da sam ja Gospod, Bog njihov. I dat ću im srce i uši da čuju.
32 And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,	32 Oni će me hvaliti u zemlji svog izgnanstva i spominjat će se moga imena; obratit će se, i smekšat će im se tvrda šija,
33 And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.	33 i odvratit će se od opakih svojih djela, jer sjetit će se sudbine otaca svojih kad su griješili Gospodu.
34 And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.	34 Tada ću ih dovesti natrag u zemlju koju sam obećao zaklevši se njihovim ocima Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da gospodare njome. I umnožit ću ih, i oni se više neće smanjivati.
35 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.	35 I uspostavit ću s njima vječni savez: ja ću biti njihov Bog, a oni će biti moj narod. I neću više izgoniti svog naroda Izraela iz zemlje koju sam im dao.'
