Jeremija 15

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 I reče mi Jahve: »Kad bi i Mojsije i Samuel stali pred lice moje, ne bi mi se duša obratila narodu tome. Otjeraj ih ispred lica mojega, neka idu od mene!	1 The LORD said to me: Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me, my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them away from me.
2 Ako te upitaju: ‘Kamo da idemo?’, odgovori im: ‘Ovako govori Jahve: Tko je za smrt, u smrt! Tko je za mač, pod mač! Tko je za glad, u glad! Tko je za izgnanstvo, u izgnanstvo!’	2 If they ask you where they should go, tell them, Thus says the LORD: Whoever is marked for death, to death; whoever is marked for the sword, to the sword; whoever is marked for famine, to famine; whoever is marked for captivity, to captivity.
3 Poslat ću na njih četiri nevolje« – riječ je Jahvina: »mač da ih ubija, pse da ih rastrgaju, ptice nebeske i zvjerad da ih žderu i zatiru.	3 Four kinds of scourge I have decreed against them, says the LORD: the sword to slay them; dogs to drag them about; the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy them.
4 I učinit ću ih užasom svim kraljevstvima zemaljskim, i to zbog Manašea, sina Ezekijina, kralja judejskoga – za sva zla što ih počini u Jeruzalemu.«	4 And I will make them an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.
5 »Tko da se smiluje tebi, Jeruzaleme, tko da te požali? Tko li će se svratit’ da te zapita kako ti je?	5 Who will pity you, Jerusalem, who will console you? Who will stop to ask about your welfare?
6 Ti me odbaci« – riječ je Jahvina – »i leđa mi okrenu. I zato na te digoh ruku zatornicu. Dojadi mi da ti uvijek praštam!	6 You have disowned me, says the LORD, turned your back upon me; And so I stretched out my hand to destroy you, I was weary of sparing you.
7 Zato ću ih izvijati vijačom na vratima zemlje ove. Narod svoj ću lišit’ djece i istrijebit’ ga, jer se ne obraćaju sa svojih putova.	7 I winnowed them with the fan in every city gate. I destroyed my people through bereavement; they returned not from their evil ways.
8 Bit će u njih više udovica negoli pijeska morskoga. Na majke mladih ratnika dovest ću zatornika, usred podneva, i pustit ću na njih iznenada užas i strahotu.	8 Their widows were more numerous before me than the sands of the sea. I brought against the mother of youths the spoiler at midday; Suddenly I struck her with anguish and terror.
9 Onesvijestila se roditeljka sedmero djece, dušu ispustila. Sunce joj zađe još za dana: postiđena, osramoćena je. A što od njih ostane, pod mač ću vrći pred njihovim dušmanima« – riječ je Jahvina.	9 The mother of seven swoons away, gasping out her life; Her sun sets in full day, she is disgraced, despairing. Their survivors I will give to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.
10 Jao meni, majko, što si me rodila, da svađam se i prepirem sa svom zemljom. Nikom ne uzajmih, ni od koga zajma ne uzeh, a ipak svi me proklinju.	10 Woe to me, mother, that you gave me birth! a man of strife and contention to all the land! I neither borrow nor lend, yet all curse me.
11 Uistinu, o Jahve, nisam li ti služio za njihovo dobro, nisam li tražio milost u tebe za neprijatelja svoga, u doba nevolje, u danima tjeskobe njegove? Ti to dobro znaš!	11 Tell me, LORD, have I not served you for their good? Have I not interceded with you in the time of misfortune and anguish?
12 Može l’ se željezo slomiti, željezo sa sjevera i mjed?	12
13 »Tvoje bogatstvo i blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za sva bezakonja svoja po svoj zemlji.
14 Učinit ću te robljem neprijateljâ u zemlji koju ne poznaješ, jer gnjevmoj planu ognjem koji će vas sažgati, koji će protiv vas buknuti.«
15 Jahve, spomeni me se i pohodi me i kazni progonitelje moje. Ne daj da propadnem zbog sporosti srdžbe tvoje! Spomeni se da tebe radi podnosim sramotu.	15 You know I have. Remember me, LORD, visit me, and avenge me on my persecutors. Because of your long-suffering banish me not; know that for you I have borne insult.
16 Kad mi dođoše riječi tvoje, ja sam ih gutao: riječi tvoje ushitiše i obradovaše srce moje. Jer sam se tvojim zvao imenom, o Jahve, Bože nad vojskama.	16 When I found your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart, Because I bore your name, O LORD, God of hosts.
17 Nikad sjedio nisam u društvu veseljaka da se razveselim. Pod težinom ruke tvoje samotan živim, jer ti me jarošću prože.	17 I did not sit celebrating in the circle of merrymakers; Under the weight of your hand I sat alone because you filled me with indignation.
18 Zašto je bol moja bez prebola? Zašto je rana moja neiscjeljiva i nikako da zaraste? Ah! Hoćeš li meni biti kao potok nestalan, vodama nepouzdan?	18 Why is my pain continuous, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become for me a treacherous brook, whose waters do not abide!
19 Zato ovako govori Jahve: »Ako se vratiš, pustit ću te da mi opet služiš; ako odvojiš dragocjeno od bezvrijedna, bit ćeš usta moja. Oni će se okrenuti k tebi, al’ ti se zato ne smiješ okrenuti k njima!	19 Thus the LORD answered me: If you repent, so that I restore you, in my presence you shall stand; If you bring forth the precious without the vile, you shall be my mouthpiece. Then it shall be they who turn to you, and you shall not turn to them;
20 Učinit ću od tebe za ovaj narod zid od mjedi, neosvojiv. Borit će se protiv tebe, al’ te neće nadvladati, jer ja sam s tobom, da te spasim i izbavim« – riječ je Jahvina.	20 And I will make you toward this people a solid wall of brass. Though they fight against you, they shall not prevail, For I am with you, to deliver and rescue you, says the LORD.
21 »Izbavit ću te iz ruku zlikovaca i otkupiti te iz ruku silnika.«	21 I will free you from the hand of the wicked, and rescue you from the grasp of the violent.
