Capitolo 8
1
U to vreme, govori Gospod, izvadiće se iz grobova kosti careva Judinih i kosti knezova njegovih i kosti svešteničke i kosti proročke, i kosti stanovnika jerusalimskih;
2
i razmetnuće se prema suncu i mesecu i svoj vojsci nebeskoj, koje ljubiše i kojima služiše i za kojima idoše i koje tražiše i kojima se klanjaše; neće se pokupiti ni pogrepsti, nego će biti gnoj po zemlji.
3
I voleće smrt nego život, sav ostatak što ih ostane od ovog roda zlog, što ih ostane po svim mestima kuda ih raselim, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
4
Još im reci:
Ovako veli Gospod:
Ko padne, ne ustaje li?
Ko zađe, ne vraća li se?
5
Zašto je zašao taj narod jerusalimski za svagda?
Drže se prevare, neće da se obrate.
6
Pazio sam i slušao,
ne govore pravo,
nema nikoga da se kaje za zlo svoje,
da reče: Šta učinih?
Svaki je okrenuo svojim trkom,
kao konj kad nagne u boj.
7
I roda pod nebom zna svoje vreme,
grlica i ždral i lasta paze na vreme kad dolaze;
a narod moj ne zna sud Gospodnji.
8
Kako govorite: Mudri smo, i zakon je Gospodnji u nas?
Doista, gle, laž učini lažljiva pisaljka književnička.
9
Mudraci se osramotiše,
uplašiše se i uhvatiše se;
eto, odbaciše reč Gospodnju,
pa kakva im je mudrost?
10
Zato ću dati žene njihove drugima,
njive njihove onima koji će ih naslediti,
jer od malog do velikog svi se dadoše na lakomstvo,
i proroci i sveštenici, svi su varalice.
11
Jer leče rane kćeri naroda mog ovlaš
govoreći: Mir, mir;
a mira nema.
12
Eda li se postideše što činiše gad?
Niti se postideše niti znaju za stid;
za to će popadati među onima koji padaju;
kad ih pohodim, popadaće, veli Gospod.
13
Sasvim ću ih istrebiti,
govori Gospod,
nema grozda na lozi, ni smokve na drvetu, i lišće je opalo;
i šta sam im dao uzeće im se.
14
Što stojimo?
Skupite se i uđimo u tvrde gradove, i onde ćutimo;
jer nas je Gospod Bog naš ućutkao napojivši nas žuči,
jer zgrešismo Gospodu.
15
Čekasmo mir, ali nema dobra;
i vreme da ozdravimo, a gle, strah.
16
Od Dana ču se frkanje konja njegovih,
od rzanja pastuha njegovih sva se zemlja zatrese,
dođoše i pojedoše zemlju i sve što beše u njoj,
gradove i koji življahu u njima.
17
Jer, evo, ja ću pustiti na vas zmije,
aspide, od kojih nema bajanja,
te će vas ujedati,
govori Gospod.
18
Okrepio bih se u žalosti,
ali je srce u meni iznemoglo.
19
Eto vike kćeri naroda mog iz daleke zemlje:
Zar Gospod nije u Sionu? Car njegov zar nije u njemu?
Zašto me razgneviše svojim likovima rezanim,
tuđim taštinama?
20
Žetva je prošla, leto minulo,
a mi se ne izbavismo.
21
Satrven sam što je kći naroda mog satrvena,
u žalosti sam, čudo osvoji me.
22
Nema li balsama u Galadu? Nema li onde lekara?
Zašto se dakle ne isceli kći naroda mog?
Jeremiah
Capitolo 8
1
At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
4
¶ Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6
I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8
How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
13
¶ I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
18
¶ When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
20
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
