Joel 2
1 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near—
Trubite u trubu na Sionu, i vièite na svetoj gori mojoj, neka drkæu svi stanovnici zemaljski, jer ide dan Gospodnji, jer je blizu,
2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.
Dan, kada je mrak i tama, dan, kada je oblak i magla; kako se zora razastire povrh gora, tako ide narod velik i silan, kakoga nije bilo otkad je vijeka niti æe ga poslije kad biti od koljena do koljena.
3 Before them a fire devours, and behind them a flame scorches. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland— surely nothing will escape them.
Pred njim proždire oganj, a za njim pali plamen; zemlja je pred njim kao vrt Edemski, a za njim pustinja pusta, ništa neæe uteæi od njega.
4 Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like swift steeds.
Na oèima su kao konji i trèaæe kao konjici.
5 With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.
Skakaæe povrh gora topoæuæi kao kola, praskajuæi kao plamen ognjeni koji sažiže strnjiku, kao silan narod spreman za boj.
6 Nations writhe in horror before them; every face turns pale.
Pred njim æe se prepadati narodi, svako æe lice pocrnjeti.
7 They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course.
Oni æe trèati kao junaci, kao vojnici skakaæe na zid, i svaki æe iæi svojim putem, niti æe otstupati sa svoje staze.
8 They do not jostle one another; each proceeds in his path. They burst through the defenses, never breaking ranks.
I jedan drugoga neæe tiskati, svaki æe iæi svojim putem, i na maèeve naviruæi neæe se raniti.
9 They storm the city; they run along the wall; they climb into houses, entering through windows like thieves.
Po gradu æe hoditi, po zidovima æe trèati, u kuæe æe se peti, ulaziæe kroz prozore kao lupež.
10 Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.
Pred njima æe se zemlja tresti, nebesa æe se pokolebati, sunce æe i mjesec pomrknuti i zvijezde æe ustegnuti svjetlost svoju.
11 The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?
A Gospod æe pustiti glas svoj pred vojskom svojom, jer æe oko njegov biti vrlo velik, jer æe biti silan onaj koji æe izvršiti volju njegovu; jer æe dan Gospodnji biti velik i vrlo strašan, i ko æe ga podnijeti?
12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”
Zato još govori Gospod: obratite se k meni svijem srcem svojim i posteæi i plaèuæi i tužeæi.
13 So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And He relents from sending disaster.
I razderite srca svoja a ne haljine svoje, i obratite se ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer je milostiv i žalostiv, spor na gnjev i obilan milosrðem i kaje se oda zla.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him— grain and drink offerings for the LORD your God.
Ko zna, neæe li se povratiti i raskajati se, i ostaviti iza toga blagoslov, dar i naljev za Gospoda Boga vašega.
15 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a sacred assembly.
Trubite u trubu na Sionu, naredite post, proglasite svetkovinu.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the aged, gather the children, even those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.
Saberite narod, osveštajte sabor, skupite starce, saberite djecu i koja sisaju; ženik neka izide iz svoje klijeti i nevjesta iz ložnice svoje.
17 Let the priests who minister before the LORD weep between the portico and the altar, saying, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your heritage a reproach, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
Izmeðu trijema i oltara neka plaèu sveštenici, sluge Gospodnje, i neka reku: prosti, Gospode, narodu svojemu, i ne daj našljedstva svojega pod sramotu, da njim obladaju narodi; zašto da reku u narodima: gdje im je Bog?
18 Then the LORD became jealous for His land, and He spared His people.
I Gospod æe revnovati za zemlju svoju i požaliæe narod svoj.
19 And the LORD answered His people: “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and by them you will be satisfied. I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.
I Gospod æe odgovoriti i reæi æe svome narodu: evo, ja æu vam poslati žita i vina i ulja, i biæete ga siti, i neæu vas više dati pod sramotu meðu narodima.
20 The northern army I will drive away from you, banishing it to a barren and desolate land, its front ranks into the Eastern Sea, and its rear guard into the Western Sea. And its stench will rise; its foul odor will ascend. For He has done great things.
Jer æu udaljiti od vas sjeverca, i odagnati ga u zemlju suhu i pustu, prednju èetu njegovu u istoèno more a zadnju u more zapadno, i podignuæe se smrad njegov, i trulež æe se njegov podignuti, pošto uèini velike stvari.
21 Do not be afraid, O land; rejoice and be glad, for the LORD has done great things.
Ne boj se, zemljo, raduj se i veseli se, jer æe Gospod uèiniti velike stvari.
22 Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field, for the open pastures have turned green, the trees bear their fruit, and the fig tree and vine yield their best.
Ne bojte se, zvijeri poljske; jer æe se zelenjeti pasišta u pustinji i drveta æe nositi rod svoj, smokva æe i loza vinova davati silu svoju.
23 Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for He has given you the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
I vi, sinovi Sionski, radujte se i veselite se u Gospodu Bogu svojem, jer æe vam dati dažd na vrijeme, i spustiæe vam dažd rani i pozni na vrijeme.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
I gumna æe se napuniti žita, a kace æe se preljevati vinom i uljem.
25 I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts— the swarming locust, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust — My great army that I sent against you.
I naknadiæu vam godine koje izjede skakavac, hrušt i crv i gusjenica, velika vojska moja, koju slah na vas.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are satisfied. You will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you. My people will never again be put to shame.
I ješæete izobila, i biæete siti i hvaliæete ime Gospoda Boga svojega, koji uèini s vama èudesa, i narod moj neæe se posramiti dovijeka.
27 Then you will know that I am present in Israel and that I am the LORD your God, and there is no other. My people will never again be put to shame.
I poznaæete da sam ja usred Izrailja, i da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš, i da nema drugoga, i narod moj neæe se posramiti dovijeka.
28 And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
I poslije æu izliti duh svoj na svako tijelo, i proricaæe sinovi vaši i kæeri vaše, starci æe vaši sanjati sne, mladiæi æe vaši viðati utvare.
29 Even on My menservants and maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
I na sluge æu i na sluškinje u one dane izliti duh svoj;
30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
I uèiniæu èudesa na nebu i na zemlji, krv i oganj i pušenje dima.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
Sunce æe se pretvoriti u tamu i mjesec u krv prije nego doðe veliki i strašni dan Gospodnji.
32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has promised, among the remnant called by the LORD.
I svaki koji prizove ime Gospodnje spašæe se; jer æe na gori Sionu i u Jerusalimu biti spasenje, kao što je rekao Gospod, i u ostatku koji pozove Gospod.
