Jeremija 13

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ovako mi govori Jahve: »Idi i kupi sebi lanen pojas i opaši bokove. Ali ga u vodu ne umači.«	1 The LORD said to me: Go buy yourself a linen loincloth; wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water.
2 I kupih pojas po riječi Jahvinoj i opasah bokove.	2 I bought the loincloth, as the LORD commanded, and put it on.
3 I dođe mi drugi put riječ Jahvina:	3 A second time the word of the LORD came to me thus:
4 »Uzmi pojas što si ga kupio i njime se opasao, digni se, idi do rijeke Eufrata i sakrij ga ondje u pukotinu pećine.«	4 Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing, and go now to the Parath; there hide it in a cleft of the rock.
5 I odoh i sakrih ga kraj Eufrata, kako mi Jahve zapovjedi. Poslije mnogo dana reče mi Jahve:	5 Obedient to the LORD'S command, I went to the Parath and buried the loincloth.
6 »Ustaj, idi na Eufrat pa izvuci odande pojas za koji ti zapovjedih da ga ondje sakriješ.«	6 After a long interval, he said to me: Go now to the Parath and fetch the loincloth which I told you to hide there.
7 Odoh na Eufrat, izvukoh i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio, i gle: pojas istrunuo, ne bijaše više nizašto.	7 Again I went to the Parath, sought out and took the loincloth from the place where I had hid it. But it was rotted, good for nothing!
8 Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:	8 Then the message came to me from the LORD:
9 »Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Tako ću uništiti silnu oholost Judeje i Jeruzalema.	9 Thus says the LORD: So also I will allow the pride of Judah to rot, the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 Narod taj opaki koji ne sluša mojih riječi, nego slijedi okorjelo srce svoje i trči za drugim bogovima da im služi i da im se klanja, postat će kao tvoj pojas koji nije više nizašto.	10 This wicked people who refuse to obey my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts, and follow strange gods to serve and adore them, shall be like this loincloth which is good for nothing.
11 Jer kao što pojas prianja uz bedra čovjekova, tako sam htio da sav dom Izraelov i sav dom Judin prianja uza me’ – riječ je Jahvina – ‘da budu moj narod, moj dobar glas, moj ponos, moja slava i čast. Ali nisu poslušali!’«	11 For, as close as the loincloth clings to a man's loins, so had I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, says the LORD; to be my people, my renown, my praise, my beauty. But they did not listen.
12 »Reci tom narodu: ‘Svaki se vrč puni vinom.’ A oni će ti prigovoriti: ‘Zar možda ne znamo da se svaki vrč puni vinom?’	12 Now speak to them this word: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Every wineflask is meant to be filled with wine. If they reply, "Do we not know that every wineflask is meant to be filled with wine?"
13 Reci im tada: ‘Ovako govori Jahve: Evo, napunit ću pijanošću sve stanovnike ove zemlje, kraljeve što sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, i svećenike, i proroke, i sve Jeruzalemce.	13 say to them: Thus says the LORD: Beware! I am filling with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land, the kings who succeed to David's throne, the priests and prophets, and all the citizens of Jerusalem.
14 I porazbijat ću ih jednog o drugoga, očeve zajedno sa sinovima’ – riječ je Jahvina. ‘Uništit ću ih bez samilosti, bez milosrđa i bez smilovanja.’«	14 I will dash them against each other, fathers and sons together, says the LORD; I will show no compassion, I will not spare or pity, but will destroy them.
15 Poslušajte, dobro čujte, okanite se oholosti: Jahve sad govori!	15 Give ear, listen humbly, for the LORD speaks.
16 Dajte slavu Jahvi, Bogu svojemu, prije nego što se smrkne, prije nego što se noge vaše spotaknu po planinama mračnim. Vi se nadate svjetlosti, a on će je u mrak pretvoriti, prometnuti u crnu tamu!	16 Give glory to the LORD, your God, before it grows dark; Before your feet stumble on darkening mountains; Before the light you look for turns to darkness, changes into black clouds.
17 Ako ovo ne poslušate, potajno će mi duša plakati zbog oholosti vaše, suze će roniti, oko će mi suze prolijevati, jer Jahvino stado u izgnanstvo odlazi.	17 If you do not listen to this in your pride, I will weep in secret many tears; My eyes will run with tears for the LORD'S flock, led away to exile.
18 »Reci kralju i kraljici-majci: ‘Sjednite duboko dolje, jer vijenac slave pade s vaših glava.	18 Say to the king and to the queen mother: come down from your throne; From your heads fall your magnificent crowns.
19 Gradovi Negeba zatvoreni su, i nikoga nema da ih otvori. Sva je Judeja izgnana, sasvim izgnana!’«	19 The cities of the Negeb are besieged, with no one to relieve them; All Judah is banished in universal exile.
20 »Podigni oči, Jeruzaleme, i pogledaj one što nadiru sa sjevera. Gdje je stado tebi povjereno, slavne ovce tvoje?	20 Lift up your eyes and see men coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your glory?
21 Što ćeš reći kada ti se nametnu kao gospodari tvoji oni koje si sam naučio da te kao ljubavnici vode. Neće li te bolovi spopasti kao rodilju?	21 What will you say when they place as rulers over you those whom you taught to be your lovers? Will not pangs seize you like those of a woman giving birth?
22 Možda ćeš se tad upitati: ‘Zašto me to snašlo?’ Zbog mnoštva bezakonja tvojih otkriše ti skute, nasilje nad tobom učiniše.	22 If you ask in your heart why these things befall you: For your great guilt your skirts are stripped away and you are violated.
23 Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju? Ili leopard krzno svoje? A vi, možete li činiti dobro, navikli da zlo činite?	23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin? the leopard his spots? As easily would you be able to do good, accustomed to evil as you are.
24 Zato ću vas raspršiti k’o pljevu koju raznosi pustinjski vjetar.	24 I will scatter them like chaff that flies when the desert wind blows.
25 To je sudba tvoja i dio tebi odmjeren« – riječ je Jahvina – »jer si mene zaboravio i u laž se uzdao.	25 This is your lot, the portion measured out to you from me, says the LORD. Because you have forgotten me, and trusted in the lying idol,
26 Sam ću ti halju do lica podići da se tvoja golotinja vidi.	26 I now will strip off your skirts from you, so that your shame will appear.
27 Sve preljube tvoje, tvoje vriskanje i bestidno tvoje bludničenje, na humcima, u poljima, vidio sam tvoje grozote. Jao tebi, Jeruzaleme! Još se ne očisti i dokle će to još trajati ...?«	27 Your adulteries, your neighings, your shameless prostitutions: On the hills in the highlands I see these horrible crimes of yours. Woe to you, Jerusalem, how long will it yet be before you become clean!
