Plač Jeremijin
Capitolo 4
1
Kako potamne zlato,
promeni se čisto zlato?
Kamenje je od svetinje razmetnuto po uglovima svih ulica.
2
Dragi sinovi sionski,
cenjeni kao najčistije zlato,
kako se cene zemljani sudovi,
kao delo ruku lončarevih!
3
I zveri ističu sise svoje i doje mlad svoju,
a kći naroda mog posta nemilostiva kao noj u pustinji.
4
Jezik detetu koje sisa prionu za grlo od žeđi;
deca ištu hleba, a nema nikoga da im lomi.
5
Koji jeđahu poslastice,
ginu na ulicama;
koji odrastoše u skerletu,
valjaju se po bunjištu.
6
I kar koji dopade kćeri naroda mog veći je od propasti koja dopade Sodomu,
koji se zatre u času
i ruke se ne zabaviše oko njega.
7
Nazireji njeni behu čistiji od snega,
belji od mleka;
telo im beše crvenije od dragog kamenja,
glatki kao safir.
8
A sada im je lice crnje od uglja,
ne poznaju se na ulicama;
koža im se prilepila za kosti,
osušila se kao drvo.
9
Bolje bi onima koji su pobijeni mačem nego onima koji mru od gladi,
koji izdišu ubijeni od nestašice roda zemaljskog.
10
Svojim rukama žene žalostive kuvaše decu svoju,
ona im biše hrana u pogibli kćeri naroda mog.
11
Navrši Gospod gnev svoj,
izli žestoki gnev svoj,
i raspali oganj na Sionu,
koji mu proždre temelje.
12
Ne bi verovali carevi zemaljski i svi stanovnici po vasiljenoj
da će neprijatelj i protivnik ući na vrata jerusalimska.
13
Ali bi za grehe proroka njegovih i za bezakonja sveštenika njegovih,
koji prolivahu krv pravedničku usred njega.
14
Lutahu kao slepci po ulicama,
kaljahu se krvlju,
koje ne mogahu da se ne dotiču haljinama svojim.
15
Odstupite, nečisti, viču im,
odstupite, odstupite, ne dodevajte se ničega.
I odlaze i skitaju se;
i među narodima se govori: Neće se više staniti.
16
Gnev Gospodnji raseja ih,
neće više pogledati na njih;
ne poštuju sveštenika,
nisu žalostivi na starce.
17
Već nam oči iščileše izgledajući pomoć zaludnu;
čekasmo narod koji ne može izbaviti.
18
Vrebaju nam korake,
da ne možemo hoditi po ulicama svojim,
približi se kraj naš,
navršiše se dani naši, dođe kraj naš.
19
Koji nas goniše,
behu lakši od orlova nebeskih,
po gorama nas goniše,
u pustinji nam zasedaše.
20
Disanje nozdrva naših, pomazanik Gospodnji,
za kog govorasmo da ćemo živeti pod senom njegovim među narodima,
uhvati se u jame njihove.
21
Raduj se i veseli se, kćeri edomska,
koja živiš u zemlji Uzu!
Doći će do tebe čaša, opićeš se,
i otkrićeš se.
22
Svrši se kar za bezakonje tvoje, kćeri sionska;
neće te više voditi u ropstvo;
pohodiće tvoje bezakonje, kćeri edomska,
otkriće grehe tvoje.
Lamentations
Capitolo 4
1
How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.
2
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3
Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
5
They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6
For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7
Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8
Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9
They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
10
The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11
The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
12
The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
13
¶ For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
14
They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
15
They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.
16
The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
17
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
18
They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19
Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
20
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
21
¶ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
22
¶ The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
