Chapitre 4
1
Jao, potamnje zlato, to suho zlato! Sveto se kamenje prosu na uglovima svih ulica.
2
Sinovi sionski, nekoć cijenjeni kao najčišće zlato, ah, sada ih cijene kao sudove glinske, kao djelo ruku lončarevih!
3
Čak i šakali pružaju dojke i doje mladunčad, ali kćeri naroda moga postaše okrutne kao nojevi u pustinji.
4
Jezik dojenčeta za nepce se lijepi od žeđi. Djeca vape za kruhom, a nikog da im ga pruži.
5
Oni što se nekoć sladiše biranim jelima ginu po ulicama; nekoć nošeni u grimizu, sada se valjaju po buništu.
6
Veći bijaše zločin Kćeri naroda moga od grijeha Sodome, što u tren oka bi razorena, a ničija se ruka ne diže na nju.
7
Njeni mladići bijahu nekoć čišći od snijega, bjelji od mlijeka, od koralja rumenija bijahu im tijela, lice glatko k'o safir.
8
Sad im je obraz crnji od čađe, ne prepoznaju se više na ulici. Koža im se lijepi za kosti, suha kao drvo.
9
Kako su sretni oni što ih mač probode, sretniji od onih koje pomori glad; koji padaju, iscrpljeni, jer im nedostaju plodovi zemljini.
10
Žene, tako nježne, kuhaše djecu svoju, njima se hraniše za propasti Kćeri naroda moga.
11
Jahve je utolio svoj bijes, izlio jarosnu srdžbu svoju, na Sionu raspirio požar što sažiže i same temelje njegove.
12
Nisu vjerovali kraljevi zemaljski ni svekoliko stanovništvo zemlje da će ugnjetač i neprijatelj ući na vrata jeruzalemska -
13
zbog grijeha svojih prorokÄa, zbog bezakonja svećenikÄa koji usred grada prolijevahu krv pravednikÄa!
14
K'o slijepi teturahu ulicama, omašteni krvlju, te nitko nije smio da se takne odjeće njihove.
15
“Natrag, nečisti!” - viču im. “Natrag! Ne dirajte!” I tada pobjegoše poganima, al' ne smjedoše ondje ostati.
16
Raspršilo ih lice Jahvino, on ih više nije gledao. Ne poštuju više svećenikÄa, ne sažaljuju staraca.
17
Već nam oči iščilješe iščekujući pomoć, ali uzalud; s kula naših zureć' u daljinu očekivasmo narod koji nas ne može spasiti.
18
Vrebaju nam na korake da ne hodamo po trgovima svojim. Bliži nam se kraj, navršili nam se dani, naš konac dolazi.
19
Naši gonitelji bijahu brži od orlova na nebu; u planini nas ganjahu, u pustinji dočekivahu u zasjedi.
20
Naš životni dah, Jahvin pomazanik, pade u njihove jame - on za koga govorasmo: “U sjeni njegovoj živjet ćemo među narodima.”
21
Raduj se i veseli se, Kćeri edomska, ti koja živiš u zemlji Usu: doći će i do tebe čaša, opit ćeš se i razgoliti.
22
Tvoj grijeh je iskupljen, Kćeri sionska, neće te više u izgnanstvo voditi. Kaznit će opačinu tvoju, Kćeri edomska, razotkriti grijehe tvoje.
Lamentations
Chapitre 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.
