Тужбалице 4
Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Јерусалим после пада
4 Како потамне злато,
суво злато изгуби сјај!
Свети драгуљи разбацани
по угловима свих улица.
2 Драгоцени синови сионски,
некада цењени као чисто злато,
сада су на цени колико и глинене посуде,
дело грнчарево.
3 Чак и шакалице пружају дојке
да подоје своје младунце,
а кћери мога народа окрутне постадоше
као нојеви у пустињи.
4 Одојчету се језик
од жеђи лепи за непце,
деца траже хлеба,
а нико да им га пружи.
5 Они што су некад јели посластице,
таворе на улицама,
они који су одрасли у пурпуру,
по буњиштима се ваљају.
6 Казна за злодело Кћери мога народа
тежа је од казне за грехе Содоме,
која је у трен ока разорена
иако нико не диже руку на њу.
7 Њени су кнежеви били
чистији од снега, бељи од млека,
тела руменијег од корала,
углачаног као лазулит.
8 Сада су црњи од чађи,
више их не препознају на улици.
Кожа им се залепила за кости,
као дрво се осушила.
9 Боље је онима који погинуше од мача
него онима који гину од глади,
којима живот копни,
јер их прободе несташица плодова пољских.
10 Својим рукама су самилосне жене
кувале своју децу,
њима се храниле
у време слома Кћери мог народа.
11 ГОСПОД је докраја искалио своју срџбу,
свој љути гнев излио
и на Сиону запалио огањ
који му сажеже темеље.
12 Нису веровали цареви земаљски,
ни сви становници света
да ће непријатељ и душманин
ући кроз капије Јерусалима.
13 Све то због грехâ његових пророка
и злоделâ његових свештеника,
који су усред њега
проливали крв праведникâ.
14 Сада главињају улицама као слепи,
крвљу опогањени,
па се нико не усуђује
да им дотакне одећу.
15 »Одлазите, нечисти!« вичу им.
»Одлазите, одлазите! Не дотичите нас!«
И кад побегну и кад буду лутали,
народи ће говорити:
»Не могу више да остану овде.«
16 Сâм ГОСПОД их је распршио[a]
и више над њима не бди.
Свештеницима се више не указује част,
за старешине нема наклоности.
17 Очи нам ишчилеше
док смо помоћ чекали узалуд.
Са својих осматрачница смо гледали
иде ли народ који не може да нас спасе.
18 Вребали су на нас,
па нисмо смели да идемо својим улицама.
Крај нам је био близу, дани одбројани;
да, крај нам је дошао.
19 Наши су гонитељи били бржи
од орлова на небу;
жестоко су нас гонили по горама,
у заседи нас чекали у пустињи.
20 Ухватише у своје замке
наш животни дах, помазаника ГОСПОДЊЕГ,
онога за кога смо говорили:
»Њиме заклоњени,
живећемо међу народима.«
21 Весели се и радуј, Кћери едомска,
ти која живиш у земљи Уц.
И до тебе ће стићи чаша –
напићеш се и скинути се гола.
22 Твоја казна је довршена, Кћери сионска,
Бог ти неће продужити изгнанство.
А твоја злодела ће казнити, Кћери едомска,
и разоткрити твоје грехе.

Lamentations 4
New International Version
Lamentations 4
New International Version
4 [a]How the gold has lost its luster,
the fine gold become dull!
The sacred gems are scattered
at every street corner.(A)
2 How the precious children of Zion,(B)
once worth their weight in gold,
are now considered as pots of clay,
the work of a potter’s hands!
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.(C)
4 Because of thirst(D) the infant’s tongue
sticks to the roof of its mouth;(E)
the children beg for bread,
but no one gives it to them.(F)
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(G)
now lie on ash heaps.(H)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(I)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
8 But now they are blacker(J) than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;(K)
it has become as dry as a stick.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off
than those who die of famine;(L)
racked with hunger, they waste away
for lack of food from the field.(M)
10 With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,(N)
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.
11 The Lord has given full vent to his wrath;(O)
he has poured out(P) his fierce anger.(Q)
He kindled a fire(R) in Zion
that consumed her foundations.(S)
12 The kings of the earth did not believe,
nor did any of the peoples of the world,
that enemies and foes could enter
the gates of Jerusalem.(T)
13 But it happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,(U)
who shed within her
the blood(V) of the righteous.
14 Now they grope through the streets
as if they were blind.(W)
They are so defiled with blood(X)
that no one dares to touch their garments.
15 “Go away! You are unclean!” people cry to them.
“Away! Away! Don’t touch us!”
When they flee and wander(Y) about,
people among the nations say,
“They can stay here no longer.”(Z)
16 The Lord himself has scattered them;
he no longer watches over them.(AA)
The priests are shown no honor,
the elders(AB) no favor.(AC)
17 Moreover, our eyes failed,
looking in vain(AD) for help;(AE)
from our towers we watched
for a nation(AF) that could not save us.
18 People stalked us at every step,
so we could not walk in our streets.
Our end was near, our days were numbered,
for our end had come.(AG)
19 Our pursuers were swifter
than eagles(AH) in the sky;
they chased us(AI) over the mountains
and lay in wait for us in the desert.(AJ)
20 The Lord’s anointed,(AK) our very life breath,
was caught in their traps.(AL)
We thought that under his shadow(AM)
we would live among the nations.

King James Version
Lamentations 4
King James Version
4 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.
