Jeremija
Capitolo 13
1
Ovako mi govori Jahve: “Idi i kupi sebi lanen pojas i opaši bokove. Ali ga u vodu ne umači.”
2
I kupih pojas po riječi Jahvinoj i opasah bokove.
3
I dođe mi drugi put riječ Jahvina:
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
I odoh i sakrih ga kraj Eufrata, kako mi Jahve zapovjedi. Poslije mnogo dana reče mi Jahve:
6
“Ustaj, idi na Eufrat pa izvuci odande pojas za koji ti zapovjedih da ga ondje sakriješ.”
7
Odoh na Eufrat, izvukoh i uzeh pojas s mjesta gdje ga bijah sakrio, i gle: pojas istrunuo, ne bijaše više nizašto.
8
Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina:
9
“Ovako govori Jahve: Tako ću uništiti silnu oholost Judeje i Jeruzalema.
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
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
Reci tom narodu: “Svaki se vrč puni vinom.” A oni će ti prigovoriti: “Zar možda ne znamo da se svaki vrč puni vinom?”
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
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
Poslušajte, dobro čujte, okanite se oholosti: Jahve sad govori!
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
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
Reci kralju i kraljici-majci: “Sjednite duboko dolje, jer vijenac slave pade s vaših glava.
19
Gradovi Negeba zatvoreni su, i nikoga nema da ih otvori. Sva je Judeja izgnana, sasvim izgnana!”
20
Podigni oči, Jeruzaleme, i pogledaj one što nadiru sa Sjevera. Gdje je stado tebi povjereno, slavne ovce tvoje?
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 porodilju?
22
Možda ćeš se tad upitati: “Zašto me to snašlo?” Zbog mnoštva bezakonja tvojih otkriše ti skute, nasilje nad tobom učiniše.
23
Može li Etiopljanin promijeniti kožu svoju? Ili leopard krzno svoje? “A vi, možete li činiti dobro, navikli da zlo činite?
24
Zato ću vas raspršiti k'o pljevu koju raznosi pustinjski vjetar.
25
To je sudba tvoja i dio tebi odmjeren - riječ je Jahvina - jer si mene zaboravio i u laž se uzdao.
26
Sam ću ti halju do lica podići da se tvoja golotinja vidi.
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...?”
Jeremiah
Capitolo 13
1
Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
2
So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.
3
And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,
4
Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5
So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
6
And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7
Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9
Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
11
For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
12
¶ Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
13
Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14
And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
15
¶ Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.
16
Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
17
But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive.
18
Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
19
The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
20
Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
21
What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
22
¶ And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.
23
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24
Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25
This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26
Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
27
I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
