Jeremiah 5

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Rove the streets of Jerusalem, now look and enquire, see in her squares if you can find an individual,one individual who does right and seeks the truth, and I will pardon her, Yahweh says.	1 »Prođite ulicama jeruzalemskim, pogledajte dobro i raspitajte se, tražite po njegovim trgovima, pa ako nađete ijednoga čovjeka koji čini pravo i traži istinu, oprostit ću ovom gradu« – riječ je Jahvina.
2 Although they say, 'As Yahweh lives,' they are, in fact, swearing a false oath.	2 Pa kad i govore: »Živoga mi Jahve!« doista se krivo zaklinju.
3 Yahweh, do your eyes not look for truth? You have struck them; they have not felt it. You haveannihilated them, for they ignored the lesson. They have set their faces harder than rock, they have refused torepent.	3 Jahve, nisu li oči tvoje upravljene k istini? Biješ ih, ali njih ne boli; zatireš ih, al’ oni odbijaju pouku tvoju. Čelo im je tvrđe od litice, odbijaju da se obrate.
4 I thought, 'These are only the poor! They behave stupidly since they do not know Yahweh's way or theruling of their God.	4 Rekoh: »Samo siromasi tako ludo postupaju, jer ne znaju puta Jahvina ni pravo Boga svojega.
5 I shal approach the great men and speak to them, for these will know Yahweh's way and the ruling oftheir God.' But these, too, have broken the yoke, have burst the bonds.	5 Poći ću, dakle, velikima i njima ću govoriti, jer oni poznaju put Jahvin i pravo Boga svojega.« Ali oni svi složno razbiše jaram i sve veze pokidaše.
6 And so, a lion from the forest will slaughter them, a wolf from the plains will despoil them, a leopard wilbe lurking round their towns: anyone who goes out will be torn to pieces -- because of their many crimes, theircountless infidelities.	6 I zato ih šumski lav napada, vuk pustinjski razdire, leopardi vrebaju gradove njihove, tko god iziđe iz njih bit će rastrgan. Jer su grijesi njihovi mnogobrojni, mnogostruki otpadi njihovi.
7 'Why should I pardon you? Your sons have abandoned me, to swear by gods that are not gods at al . Ifed them full, and they became adulterers, they hurried to the brothel.	7 »Zašto da ti oprostim? Sinovi me tvoji napustiše, zaklinju se lažnim bogovima. Ja ih nasitih, oni preljub učiniše, u bludničinu kuću nagrnuše.
8 They are well-fed, roving stal ions, each neighing for his neighbour's wife.	8 Oni su k’o ugojeni, sileni konji: ržu za ženom bližnjega svoga.
9 Shal I fail to punish this, Yahweh demands, or on such a nation to exact vengeance?	9 Pa da to ne kaznim« – riječ je Jahvina – »narodu takvu da se ne osvetim?
10 Scale her terraces! Destroy! But do not annihilate her completely! Strip off her branches, for Yahwehdoes not own them!	10 Popnite se na zidove! Razarajte! Uništite, ali ne posvema! Iščupajte sve čokote jer nisu Jahvini.
11 How treacherously they have treated me, the House of Israel and the House of Judah! Yahwehdeclares.	11 Da, podlo me izdadoše dom Izraelov i dom Judin« – riječ je Jahvina.
12 'They have denied Yahweh, they have said, "He is nothing; no evil wil overtake us, we shall not seesword or famine.	12 Zanijekaše Jahvu, rekoše: »Nema ga! Zlo nas neće snaći, nećemo iskusiti ni gladi ni mača!
13 And the prophets? Nothing but wind; the word is not in them; let those very things happen to them!" '	13 <13a>A proroci su poput vjetra, govornika nema među njima!«
14 Because of this, Yahweh, God Sabaoth, says this, 'Since you have said such things, now I shal makemy words a fire in your mouth, and make this people wood, for the fire to devour.	14 Zato ovako govori Jahve, Bog nad vojskama: »Zato što su tako govorili, <13b>evo što će im se zbiti: U oganj ću pretvoriti svoje riječi u tvojim ustima, a narod ovaj u drvo da ga oganj proždre.
15 Now I shall bring on you a nation from afar, House of Israel, Yahweh declares, an enduring nation, anancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor can you grasp what they say.	15 Evo, dovest ću na vas narod izdaleka, dome Izraelov« – riječ je Jahvina. »Narod nepobjediv, narod drevan, narod kojega jezik nećeš znati, ni razumjeti što govori.
16 Their quiver a gaping tomb, they are al of them fighters.	16 Tobolac mu je razjapljen grob. Svi su oni po izboru junaci.
17 They will devour your harvest and your food, devour your sons and daughters, devour your flocks andherds, devour your vines and fig trees, and demolish your fortified towns in which you trust -- with the sword!'	17 On će proždrijet’ tvoju žetvu, tvoj kruh, sinove i kćeri tvoje, ovce i goveda tvoja, grožđe i smokve tvoje, razorit će ti gradove tvrde u koje se sada uzdaš.«
18 'Yet even in those days, Yahweh declares, I shal not annihilate you completely.	18 »Ali ni tada« – riječ je Jahvina – »neću te posve uništiti.
19 'And when you ask, "Why has Yahweh our God done al this to us?" you wil give them this answer, "As you abandon me to serve alien gods in your own country, so you must serve aliens in a country not your own."	19 A kad budu pitali: ‘Zašto nam Jahve, Bog naš, učini sve ovo?’, ti ćeš im odgovoriti: ‘Jer ste mene ostavili da biste služili tuđim bogovima u svojoj zemlji, služit ćete tuđincu u zemlji koja nije vaša!’«
20 'Announce this in the House of Jacob, proclaim it in Judah, and say,	20 Objavite ovo domu Jakovljevu i obznanite po Judeji:
21 "Now listen to this, stupid, brainless people who have eyes and do not see, who have ears and do nothear!	21 »Čujte, dakle, ovo, narode ludi i nerazumni: oči imaju, a ne vide, uši imaju, a ne čuju!
22 Have you no fear of me? Yahweh demands. Wil you not tremble before me who set the sand as limit to the sea, as an everlasting barrier it cannot pass? Its waves may toss but not prevail, they may roar but cannotpass beyond.	22 Zar se mene nećete bojati« – riječ je Jahvina – »zar nećete drhtati preda mnom koji sam stavio pijesak moru za granicu, za vječnu među koje nikad neće prijeći: ono se biba, al’ je nemoćno, valovi mu huče, ali prijeći neće?
23 But this people has a rebellious, unruly heart; they have rebelled and gone!	23 No, u naroda ovog srce je prkosno, nepokorno; oni se udaljiše – to je snaga njihova!
24 Nor do they say to themselves: Now we ought to fear Yahweh our God who gives the rain, of autumnand of spring, at the right season, and reserves us the weeks appointed for harvest.	24 Ne rekoše u srcu svome: ‘Bojmo se Jahve, Boga svojega, koji nam u pravi čas šalje dažd rani i kišu kasnu i koji nam čuva tjedne određene za žetvu.’
25 Your misdeeds have upset al this, your sins have deprived you of these blessings."	25 Vaša bezakonja narušiše ovo, vaši vam grijesi uništiše blagostanje.«
26 Yes, there are wicked men among my people who watch like fowlers on the alert; they set traps andthey catch human beings.	26 »Da, u mome narodu ima zlikovaca: kao ptičari vrebaju iz zasjede, postavljaju zamke, hvataju ljude.
27 Like a cage full of birds so are their houses full of loot; they have grown rich and powerful because of it,	27 Kao što je krletka puna ptica, tako su njihove kuće pune grabeža; postadoše tako veliki i bogati,
28 they are fat, they are sleek, in wickedness they go to any lengths: they have no respect for rights, fororphans' rights, and yet they succeed! They have not upheld the cause of the needy.	28 tusti i ugojeni. Da, prevršila se mjera zla, ne brane prava, prava sirote na sreću, ne mare za pravo sirotinje.
29 Shal I fail to punish this, Yahweh demands, or on such a nation to exact vengeance?	29 Pa da to ne kaznim« – riječ je Jahvina – »narodu takvu da se ne osvetim?
30 Horrible, disgusting things are happening in the land:	30 Strahote i grozote zbivaju se u ovoj zemlji:
31 the prophets prophesy falsely and the priests exploit the people. And my people love it! But when theend comes, what wil you do?	31 proroci laž proriču, a svećenici poučavaju na svoju ruku. A mojem narodu to omilje! Al’ što ćete raditi na kraju?«
