Jeremiah 13

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Yahweh said this to me, 'Go and buy a linen waistcloth and put it round your waist. But do not dip it inwater.'	1 Ovako mi govori Jahve: »Idi i kupi sebi lanen pojas i opaši bokove. Ali ga u vodu ne umači.«
2 And so, as Yahweh had ordered, I bought a waistcloth and put it round my waist.	2 I kupih pojas po riječi Jahvinoj i opasah bokove.
3 A second time the word of Yahweh came to me,	3 I dođe mi drugi put riječ Jahvina:
4 'Take the waistcloth that you have bought and are wearing round your waist. Up, go to the Euphratesand hide it there in a hole in the rock.'	4 »Uzmi pojas što si ga kupio i njime se opasao, digni se, idi do rijeke Eufrata i sakrij ga ondje u pukotinu pećine.«
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates as Yahweh had ordered me.	5 I odoh i sakrih ga kraj Eufrata, kako mi Jahve zapovjedi. Poslije mnogo dana reče mi Jahve:
6 A long time later, Yahweh said to me, 'Up, go to the Euphrates and fetch the waistcloth I ordered you tohide there.'	6 »Ustaj, idi na Eufrat pa izvuci odande pojas za koji ti zapovjedih da ga ondje sakriješ.«
7 So I went to the Euphrates, and I searched, and I took the waistcloth from the place where I had hiddenit. And there was the waistcloth ruined, no use for anything.	7 Odoh na Eufrat, izvukoh i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio, i gle: pojas istrunuo, ne bijaše više nizašto.
8 Then the word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,	8 Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:
9 'Yahweh says this, "In the same way I shal ruin the pride of Judah, the immense pride of Jerusalem.	9 »Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Tako ću uništiti silnu oholost Judeje i Jeruzalema.
10 This evil people, these people who refuse to listen to my words, who fol ow their own stubborninclinations and run after other gods, serving and worshipping them -- this people wil become like this waistcloth,no good for anything.	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.
11 For just as a waistcloth clings to a man's waist, so I made the whole House of Israel and the wholeHouse of Judah cling to me, Yahweh declares, to be my people, my glory, my honour and my pride. But theyhave not listened."	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!’«
12 'You wil also say this to them, "Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: Any jug can be fil ed with wine." And if they answer you, "Do you think we do not know that any jug can be fil ed with wine?"	12 »Reci tom narodu: ‘Svaki se vrč puni vinom.’ A oni će ti prigovoriti: ‘Zar možda ne znamo da se svaki vrč puni vinom?’
13 you are to say, "Yahweh says this: Look, I shal fil al the inhabitants of this country, the kings whooccupy the throne of David, the priests, the prophets and al the citizens of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.	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.
14 Then I shal smash them one against the other, parents and children al together, Yahweh declares.Mercilessly, relentlessly, pitilessly, I shal destroy them." '	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.’«
15 Listen and pay attention, do not be proud: Yahweh is speaking!	15 Poslušajte, dobro čujte, okanite se oholosti: Jahve sad govori!
16 Give glory to Yahweh your God before the darkness comes, before your feet stumble on the darkenedmountains. You hope for light, but he wil turn it to shadow dark as death, wil change it to blackness.	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!
17 If you do not listen to this warning, I shal weep in secret for your pride; my eyes wil weep bitterly andstream with tears, for Yahweh's flock is being led into captivity.	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.
18 Tel the king and the queen mother, 'Sit in a lower place, since your glorious crown has fal en fromyour head.	18 »Reci kralju i kraljici-majci: ‘Sjednite duboko dolje, jer vijenac slave pade s vaših glava.
19 The towns of the Negeb are shut off with no one to give access to them. Al Judah has been deported,deported wholesale.'	19 Gradovi Negeba zatvoreni su, i nikoga nema da ih otvori. Sva je Judeja izgnana, sasvim izgnana!’«
20 Raise your eyes and look at these now coming from the north. Where is the flock once entrusted toyou, the flock which was your pride?	20 »Podigni oči, Jeruzaleme, i pogledaj one što nadiru sa sjevera. Gdje je stado tebi povjereno, slavne ovce tvoje?
21 What wil you say when they come and punish you, you yourself having taught them? Against you, inthe lead, wil come your friends. Then will not anguish grip you as it grips a woman in labour?	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?
22 And should you ask yourself, 'Why is al this happening to me?' it is because of your great guilt thatyour skirts have been pulled up and you have been manhandled.	22 Možda ćeš se tad upitati: ‘Zašto me to snašlo?’ Zbog mnoštva bezakonja tvojih otkriše ti skute, nasilje nad tobom učiniše.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? And you, can you do right, being soaccustomed to wrong?	23 Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju? Ili leopard krzno svoje? A vi, možete li činiti dobro, navikli da zlo činite?
24 'I shall scatter you like chaff on the desert wind.	24 Zato ću vas raspršiti k’o pljevu koju raznosi pustinjski vjetar.
25 This is your share, the part allotted you, from me, Yahweh declares, because you have forgotten meand put your trust in Delusion.	25 To je sudba tvoja i dio tebi odmjeren« – riječ je Jahvina – »jer si mene zaboravio i u laž se uzdao.
26 I am the one who pul s your skirts up over your face to let your shame be seen.	26 Sam ću ti halju do lica podići da se tvoja golotinja vidi.
27 Oh! Your adulteries, your shrieks of pleasure, your vile prostitution! On the hills, in the fields, I haveseen your Horrors. Jerusalem, disaster is coming for you! How much longer till you are made clean?'	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 ...?«
