Jeremija 31
1 “U ono vrijeme - riječ je Jahvina - bit ću Bog svim plemenima Izraelovim i oni će biti narod moj.”
Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.
2 Ovako govori Jahve: “Nađe milost u pustinji narod koji uteče maču: Izrael ide u svoje prebivalište.
There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after you shall go a sword;
3 Iz daljine mu se Jahve ukaza: Ljubavlju vječnom ljubim te, zato ti sačuvah milost.
for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.
4 Opet ću te sazdati, i bit ćeš sazdana, djevice Izraelova. Opet ćeš se resit' bubnjićima, u veselo kolo hvatati.
Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora:
5 Opet ćeš saditi vinograde na brdima Samarije: koji nasade posade, oni će i trgati.
for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; you have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Jer dolazi dan te će stražari vikati na brdu efrajimskom: 'Na noge! Na Sion se popnimo, k Jahvi, Bogu svojemu!'”
Flee you, and save your lives, and you shall be as a wild ass in the desert.
7 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Kličite od radosti Jakovu, pozdravite burno prvaka naroda! Neka se ori vaš glas! Objavite slavopojkom: Jahve spasi narod svoj, Ostatak Izraelov!
Since you have trusted in your strong-hold, therefore you shall be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.
8 Evo, ja ih vodim iz zemlje sjeverne, skupljam ih s krajeva zemlje: s njima su slijepi i hromi, trudnice i rodilje: vraća se velika zajednica.
And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.
9 Evo, u suzama pođoše, utješene sad ih vraćam! Vodit ću ih kraj potočnih voda, putem ravnim kojim neće posrnuti, jer ja sam otac Izraelu, Efrajim je moj prvenac.”
Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her?
10 Čujte, o narodi, riječ Jahvinu, objavite je širom dalekih otoka: “Onaj što rasprši Izraela, opet ga sabire i čuva ga k'o pastir stado svoje!”
Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.
11 Jer Jahve oslobodi Jakova, izbavi ga iz ruku jačeg od njega.
Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.
12 I oni će, radosno kličući, na vis sionski da se naužiju dobara Jahvinih: žita, ulja, mladog vina, jagnjadi i teladi, duša će im biti kao vrt navodnjen, nikad više neće ginuti.
Therefore, behold, his days come, says the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.
13 Djevojke će se veselit' u kolu, mlado i staro zajedno, jer ću im tugu u radost pretvoriti, utješit ću ih i razveselit' nakon žalosti.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.
14 Pretilinom ću im okrijepiti svećenstvo i narod svoj nasititi dobrima” - riječ je Jahvina.
How will you say, We are strong, and men strong for war?
15 Ovako govori Jahve: “Čuj! U Rami se kukanje čuje i gorak plač: Rahela oplakuje sinove svoje, i neće da se utješi za djecom, jer njih više nema.”
Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.
16 Ovako govori Jahve: “Prestani kukati, otari suze u očima! Patnje će tvoje biti nagrađene: oni će se vratiti iz zemlje neprijateljske.
The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance].
17 Ima nade za tvoje potomstvo - riječ je Jahvina - sinovi tvoji vratit će se u svoj kraj.
Shake [the head] at him, all you that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say you, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!
18 Dobro čujem Efrajimov jecaj: 'Ti me pokara, i ja se popravih kao june još neukroćeno. Obrati me, da se obratim, jer ti si, Jahve, Bog moj.
Come down from [your] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against you one to ravage your strong-hold.
19 Odvratih se od tebe, ali se pokajah, uvijek, i sad se u slabine tučem. Stidim se i crvenim, jer nosim sramotu mladosti svoje!'”
Stand by the way, and look, you that dwell in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?
20 “Zar mi je Efrajim sin toliko drag, dijete najmilije? Jer koliko god mu prijetim, bez prestanka živo na njega mislim i srce mi dršće za njega od nježne samilosti” - riječ je Jahvina.
Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.
21 “Postavi putokaze, podigni stupove! Sjeti se ceste, puta kojim si prošla. I vrati se, djevice Izraelova, vrati se u gradove svoje!
And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,
22 Dokle ćeš još oklijevati, kćeri odmetnice? Jer Jahve stvori nešto novo na zemlji: Žena će okružiti Muža.”
and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,
23 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “U zemlji Judinoj, kad promijenim njezinu sudbinu, u njezinim će se gradovima ovako govoriti: 'Blagoslovio te Jahve, prebivalište Pravednosti, Goro sveta!'”
and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,
24 “I u njoj će se opet nastaniti Judeja sa svim svojim gradovima, ratari i oni što idu za stadima,
and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.
25 jer ja ću okrijepiti dušu iscrpljenu, obilno nahraniti dušu klonulu.
The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.
26 Kao ono: 'Čim se probudih, pogledah: sladak li bijaše sanak moj!'”
Make you him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing stock.
27 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću u domu Izraelovu i u domu Judinu posijati sjeme čovječje i sjeme životinjsko.
For surely Israel was to you a laughing stock, and was found among your thefts, because you did fight against him.
28 I kao što sam nekoć bdio da ih iščupam, razvalim, istrijebim, zatrem i nesreću na njih svalim, tako ću sada brižno bdjeti da ih podignem i posadim.
The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and lived in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.
29 U one dane neće se više govoriti: 'Oci jedoše kiselo grožđe, a sinovima zubi trnu.'
And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.
30 Nego će svatko umrijeti zbog vlastite krivice. I onomu koji bude jeo kiselo grožđe zubi će trnuti.”
But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?
31 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim sklopiti Novi savez.
Therefore howl you for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for you,
32 Ne Savez kakav sam sklopio s ocima njihovim u dan kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske, Savez što ga oni razvrgoše premda sam ja gospodar njihov - riječ je Jahvina.
O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers.
33 Nego, ovo je Savez što ću ga sklopiti s domom Izraelovim poslije onih dana - riječ je Jahvina: Zakon ću svoj staviti u dušu njihovu i upisati ga u njihovo srce. I bit ću Bog njihov, a oni narod moj.
Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in your presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.
34 I neće više učiti drug druga ni brat brata govoreći: 'Spoznajte Jahvu!' nego će me svi poznavati, i malo i veliko - riječ je Jahvina - jer ću oprostiti bezakonje njihovo i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.”
From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.
35 Ovako govori Jahve, koji daje da sunce sjaje danju, a mjesec i zvijezde da svijetle noću, koji burka more da mu valovi buče - ime mu je Jahve nad Vojskama:
And I will destroy Moab, says the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.
36 “Ako se ikad ti zakoni poremete preda mnom - riječ je Jahvina - onda će i potomstvo Izraelovo prestati da bude narod pred licem mojim zauvijek!
Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him.
37 Ako se mogu izmjeriti nebesa gore, i dolje istražiti temelji zemlje, onda ću i ja odbaciti potomstvo Izraelovo zbog svega što počiniše” - riječ je Jahvina.
They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.
38 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će grad Jahvin biti opet sazidan, od Kule Hananelove do Vrata ugaonih.
And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], says the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
39 I još će se dalje protegnuti mjerničko uže, pravo do brežuljka Gareba, a onda okrenuti prema Goi.
How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.
40 I sva dolina trupla i pepela, i sva polja do potoka Kidrona, do ugla Konjskih vrata na istoku, bit će svetinja Jahvina. I neće više biti razaranja ni prokletstva.”
For thus said the Lord;
Carioth is taken, and the strongholds have been taken together.
And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab.
He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
