Jeremija 10

Biblija Hrvatski	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Slušajte riječ koju vam govori Jahve, dome Izraelov.	1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Ovako govori Jahve: »Ne privikavajte se putu bezbožnom i ne dršćite pred znacima nebeskim, jer pred njima dršću samo bezbošci.	2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 Jer su strašila tih naroda puka ništavnost, samo drvo posječeno u šumi, djelo ruku tesarovih,	3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 ukrašeno srebrom i zlatom, pričvršćeno čavlima i čekićima da se ne klima.	4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 Nalik su na ptičja strašila u vrtu: ne znaju govoriti. Treba ih nositi, jer ne umiju hodati. Njih se ne bojte, jer ne mogu zla činiti, ali ni dobra učiniti ne mogu.«	5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Nitko nije kao ti, Jahve, ti si velik i silno je ime tvoje.	6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Tko da se tebe ne boji, kralju naroda? Zaista, tebi to pripada, jer među svim mudracima naroda i u svim njihovim kraljevstvima tebi nema ravna!	7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8 Čime vatru lože, to ih zaluđuje! Zakon im isprazan – obično drvo,	8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9 tankolisto srebro dovezeno iz Taršiša, zlato iz Ofira, rad kipara i rukotvorina zlatara, sve djela umješna, ogrnuta ljubičastim i crvenim grimizom.	9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 A Jahve je pravi Bog. Živi je on Bog i Kralj vječni. Od njegova gnjeva zemlja se trese. Narodi ne mogu podnijeti jarosti njegove.	10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Evo što ćete o kipovima reći: »Bogovi koji nisu stvorili neba ni zemlje moraju nestati s lica zemlje i ispod neba.«	11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 On stvori zemlju snagom svojom, mudrošću svojom uspostavi krug zemaljski i umom svojim razape nebesa.	12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 Kad mu glas zaori, huče vode na nebesima, oblake diže s kraja zemlje; stvara kiši munje, vjetar izvodi iz skrovišta njegovih.	13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 Svakom čovjeku pamet stane, svaki se zlatar zastidi svoga kipa, jer svi su mu kipovi samo varka, nema u njima duha!	14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Isprazni su oni, smiješne tvorevine, propast će u dan kazne.	15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 ‘Jakovljev dio’ nije kao oni: jer je on sve stvorio, Izrael pleme je baštine njegove, Jahve nad vojskama ime je njegovo.	16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17 Skupi prnje svoje sa zemlje, ti koja stanuješ u utvrdi!	17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 Jer ovako govori Gospod: »Gle, ovaj put daleko ću odbaciti stanovnike ove zemlje, pritijesniti ih da me nađu.«	18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 »Jao meni zbog ozljede moje, rana je moja neiscjeljiva.« A ja rekoh: »Ipak, bolest je moja, nosit ću je!	19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 Šator je moj òbâljen, sva užeta pokidana. Djeca me ostaviše: nema ih. Nema ga tko bi opet razapeo šator moj i podigao krila šatorska.«	20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 Da, pastiri pamet izgubiše: ne tražiše Jahve. Zato ih sreća ne prati i sva se stada raspršiše.	21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Čujte vijest! Primiče se, evo, buka strašna iz zemlje sjeverne, da gradove judejske pretvori u pustinju, u brlog čagalja.	22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23 Znam, Jahve, da put čovjeka nije u njegovoj vlasti, da čovjek koji hodi ne može upravljati korake svoje!	23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24 Kazni me, Jahve, ali po pravici, ne u gnjevu, da nas ne zatreš.	24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25 Izlij gnjev na narode koji te ne priznaju i na plemena koja ne zazivlju imena tvoga! Jer oni su proždrli Jakova, izjeli ga, opustošili naselje njegovo.	25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
