Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the Lord has spoken about Babylon and about the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Rijeè koju reèe Gospod za Vavilon i za zemlju Haldejsku preko Jeremije proroka.
2 “Announce it among the Gentiles, and make it known. Lift up a sign. Proclaim it and do not conceal it. Say this: ‘Babylon has been captured. Bel has been confounded. Merodach has been conquered. Their graven things have been confounded. Their idols have not survived.’
Javite narodima i razglasite, podignite zastavu, razglasite, ne tajite, recite: uze se Vavilon, posrami se Vil, razbi se Merodah; posramiše se idoli njegovi, razbiše se gadni bogovi njegovi.
3 For a nation has ascended against her from the north, which will set her land in desolation. And there will be no one who may live within it, from man even to beast. For they have been removed and have gone away.
Jer se narod podiže na nj sa sjevera, koji æe mu zemlju opustiti, da neæe biti nikoga da živi u njoj; i ljudi i stoka pobjeæi æe i otiæi.
4 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the sons of Israel will advance, they and the sons of Judah together. Weeping as they walk, they will hurry on, and they will seek the Lord their God.
U te dane i u to vrijeme, govori Gospod, doæi æe sinovi Izrailjevi i sinovi Judini zajedno, iæi æe plaèuæi i tražiæe Gospoda Boga svojega.
5 They will ask the way to Zion; their faces will be set toward this place. They will arrive and will be joined to the Lord by an everlasting covenant, which nothing will wipe away into oblivion.
Pitaæe za put u Sion, i obrativši se onamo reæi æe: hodite, sjedinimo se s Gospodom zavjetom vjeènijem, koji se ne zaboravlja.
6 My people have become a lost flock. Their shepherds have led them astray and have caused them to wander in the mountains. They have crossed from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
Narod je moj stado izgubljeno; pastiri njegovi zavedoše ga, te luta po gorama, ide s brda na humove, zaboravivši stan svoj.
7 All whom they have found, they have devoured. And their enemies have said: ‘We have not sinned. For it is they who have sinned against the Lord, the beauty of justice, and against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’
Ko ih naðe, proždiraše ih, i neprijatelji njihovi govoriše: neæemo biti krivi, jer zgriješiše Gospodu, stanu pravde, Gospodu, nadu otaca njihovijeh.
8 Withdraw from the midst of Babylon, and go forth from the land of the Chaldeans. And be like young goats before the flock.
Bježite iz Vavilona i izidite iz zemlje Haldejske i budite kao ovnovi pred stadom.
9 For behold, I am raising up, and I will lead against Babylon, a congregation of great nations from the land of the north. And they will be prepared against her, and from there she will be taken. Their arrows, like those of a strong man, a killer, will not return empty.
Jer, evo, ja æu podignuti i dovešæu na Vavilon zbor velikih naroda iz zemlje sjeverne, koji æe se uvrstati da se biju s njim, i uzeæe ga; strijele su im kao u dobra junaka, ne vraæaju se prazne.
10 And Chaldea will become a prey. All who lay waste to her will be filled, says the Lord.
I zemlja æe se Haldejska oplijeniti, svi koji æe je plijeniti nasitiæe se, govori Gospod.
11 For you exult and you speak great things, plundering my inheritance. For you have spread out like calves upon the grass, and you have bellowed like bulls.
Jer se veseliste, jer se radovaste plijeneæi moje našljedstvo; jer bješnjeste kao junica na travi i rzaste kao jaki konji.
12 Your mother has been exceedingly shamed, and she who bore you has become equal to the dust. Behold, she will be the last among the nations, a desert, impassable and dry.
Mati se vaša osramoti vrlo, roditeljka vaša postidje se; evo biæe pošljednja meðu narodima, pustinja, zemlja suha i pustoš.
13 By the wrath of the Lord, it will not be inhabited. Instead, it will be entirely desolate. Everyone who passes by Babylon will be stupefied and will hiss over all her wounds.
Od gnjeva Gospodnjega neæe se u njoj živjeti, nego æe sva opustjeti; ko god proðe mimo Vavilon, èudiæe se i zviždaæe radi svijeh rana njegovijeh.
14 Prepare yourselves against Babylon, on every side, all you who bend the bow. Make war against her! You should not spare the arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord.
Postavite se oko Vavilona svi koji natežete luk, strijeljajte ga, ne žalite strijela; jer je sagriješio Gospodu.
15 Cry out against her! For where she has put forth a hand, her foundations have fallen, her walls have been destroyed. For it is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance against her! Just as she has done, do so to her.
Vièite na nj unaokolo; pruža ruku; temelji mu padoše, zidovi su mu razvaljeni; jer je osveta Gospodnja; osvetite mu se; kako je èinio, onako mu uèinite.
16 Destroy the founder from Babylon, and the one who holds the sickle in the time of harvest. Before the face of the sword of the dove, each one will turn back to his people, and every one will flee to his own land.
Istrijebite iz Vavilona sijaèa i onoga koji maše srpom o žetvi; od maèa nasilnikova neka se vrati svaki svome narodu, i svaki u svoju zemlju neka bježi.
17 Israel is a scattered flock. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him. And last, this Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has taken away his bones.
Izrailj je stado razagnano, lavovi ga rasplašiše; najprije ga jede car Asirski, a poslije mu kosti izlomi Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
18 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, just as I have visited the king of Assyria.
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pohoditi cara Vavilonskoga i zemlju njegovu, kao što sam pohodio cara Asirskoga.
19 And I will lead back Israel to his habitation. And he will pasture on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul will be satiated at mount Ephraim and Gilead.
I povratiæu Izrailja u torove njegove, i pašæe po Karmilu i Vasanu; i po gori Jefremovoj i Galadu sitiæe se duša njegova.
20 In those days and at that time, says the Lord, the iniquity of Israel will be sought, and there will be none. And the sin of Judah will be sought, and none will be found. For I will be forgiving to them, whom I will leave behind.
U one dane i u ono vrijeme, govori Gospod, tražiæe se bezakonje Izrailjevo, ali ga neæe biti; i grijesi Judini, ali se neæe naæi, jer æu oprostiti onima koje ostavim.
21 Ascend against the land of the rulers, and visit against its inhabitants! Scatter and destroy whatever has been left behind them, says the Lord, and act according to all that I have instructed you.
Izidi na zemlju Meratajimsku i na stanovnike Fekodske; zatri i istrijebi iza njih, govori Gospod, i uèini sve kako ti zapovjedim.
22 A voice of war in the land, and great destruction!
Vika je ubojna u zemlji i polom velik.
23 How has the mallet of the entire earth been broken and crushed? How has Babylon been turned into a desert among the nations?
Kako se slomi i skrši malj cijele zemlje? kako Vavilon posta èudo meðu narodima?
24 I have ensnared you, and you have been captured, O Babylon, and you did not realize it. You have been discovered and seized, because you provoked the Lord.
Ja ti metnuh zamku, Vavilone, i ti se uhvati ne doznavši, našao si se i uhvatio si se, jer si se zaratio s Gospodom.
25 The Lord has opened his storehouse, and he has brought forth the instruments of his wrath. For there is work for the Lord, the God of hosts, within the land of the Chaldeans.
Gospod otvori riznicu svoju i izvadi oružje gnjeva svojega; jer je to djelo Gospoda Gospoda nad vojskama u zemlji Haldejskoj.
26 Advance against her from the furthest regions! Open, so that those who will trample her may go out! Take stones from the road, and gather them into piles, and destroy her. And let there be nothing left of her.
Hodite na nju s kraja zemlje, otvorite žitnice njezine; gazite je kao stogove, i potrite je da ne ostane od nje ostatka.
27 Scatter all her strong ones. Let them descend to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has arrived, the time of their visitation.
Pokoljite maèem sve teoce njezine, neka siðu na zaklanje; teško njima! jer doðe dan njihov, vrijeme pohoðenja njihova.
28 It is the voice of those who are fleeing and of those who have escaped from the land of Babylon: to announce in Zion the revenge of the Lord our God, the revenge of his Temple.
Èuje se glas onijeh koji bježe i koji utekoše iz zemlje Vavilonske da jave u Sionu osvetu Gospoda Boga našega, osvetu dvora njegova.
29 Announce it to the many in Babylon, to all who bend the bow. Stand together against her all around, and let no one escape. Repay her according to her work. In accord with all that she has done, do to her. For she has raised herself up against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
Sazovite na Vavilon mnoštvo; svi koji natežete luk, stanite u oko prema njemu unaokolo da ne uteèe nijedan, platite mu po djelima njegovijem; kako je èinio, onako mu uèinite, jer se je suprot Gospodu uznosio, suprot svecu Izrailjevu.
30 For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all her men of war will be silenced, in that day, says the Lord.
Zato æe mladiæi njegovi pasti po ulicama njegovijem, i svi æe vojnici njegovi izginuti u onaj dan, govori Gospod.
31 Behold, I am against you, O proud one, says the Lord, the God of hosts. For your day has arrived, the time of your visitation.
Evo mene na tebe, ponositi, govori Gospod Gospod nad vojskama, jer doðe dan tvoj, vrijeme da te pohodim.
32 And the proud one will fall and be ruined. And there will be no one who may lift him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour everything around him.”
Ponositi æe se spotaæi i pasti, i neæe biti nikoga da ga podigne; i raspaliæu oganj u gradovima njegovijem, i spaliæe svu okolinu njegovu.
33 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have endured calumny together. All who have seized them are holding them and refusing to release them.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: sila se èini sinovima Izrailjevim i sinovima Judinijem; koji ih zarobiše, drže ih, neæe da ih puste.
34 Their redeemer is strong. The Lord of hosts is his name. He will defend their case in judgment, so that he may terrify the land and disturb the inhabitants of Babylon.
Izbavitelj je njihov silan, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama, on æe doista braniti stvar njihovu da umiri zemlju i smete stanovnike Vavilonske.
35 A sword is for the Chaldeans, says the Lord, and for the inhabitants of Babylon, and for her leaders, and for her wise ones.
Maè na Haldejce, govori Gospod, i na stanovnike Vavilonske i na knezove njegove i na mudarce njegove.
36 A sword is for her diviners, who will be fooled. A sword is for her strong ones, who will be afraid.
Maè na laže njegove, i poludjeæe; maè na junake njegove, i prepašæe se.
37 A sword is for their horses, and for their chariots, and for all the common people who are in her midst. And they will be like women. A sword is for her storehouses, and they will be plundered.
Maè na konje njegove, i na kola njegova i na svu mješavinu što je usred njega, i postaæe kao žene; maè na blago njegovo, i razgrabiæe se.
38 A drought is over her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and they glory in portents.
Suša na vode njegove, i usahnuæe, jer je zemlja idolska, i oko lažnijeh bogova luduju.
39 Because of this, dragons will live there with the fig fauns, and ostriches will live in it. And it will no longer be inhabited, even in perpetuity, nor will it be raised up, even from generation to generation.
Zato æe se ondje nastaniti divlje zvijeri i buljine, i sove æe ondje stanovati; i neæe se naseliti dovijeka i neæe se u njoj živjeti nigda.
40 Just as the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighboring towns, says the Lord, no man will live there, and a son of man will not tend it.
Kao kad Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor i susjedstvo njihovo, govori Gospod, neæe se niko ondje naseliti, niti æe se baviti u njoj sin èovjeèji.
41 Behold, a people arrives from the north, and a great nation. And many kings will rise up from the ends of the earth.
Evo, narod æe doæi sa sjevera, velik narod, i carevi silni podignuæe se od krajeva zemaljskih.
42 They will take up the bow and the shield. They are cruel and merciless. Their voice will sound out, like the sea, and they will ride upon horses, like a man prepared for battle against you, O daughter of Babylon.
Luk i koplje nosiæe, žestoki æe biti, niti æe žaliti; glas æe im kao more buèati i jahaæe na konjma, spremni kao junaci za boj, na tebe, kæeri Vavilonska.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, and his hands have been weakened. Anguish has overtaken him, like the pains of a woman giving birth.
Car Vavilonski kad èuje glas o njima, klonuæe mu ruke, tuga æe ga spopasti i bolovi kao porodilju.
44 Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan to the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush upon her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?”
Gle, kao lav izaæi æe podižuæi se više nego Jordan na stan silnoga; ali æu ga brzo otjerati iz te zemlje, i postaviæu nad njom onoga ko je izabran; jer ko je kao ja? i ko æe se preti sa mnom? i koji æe mi pastir odoljeti?
45 Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has conceived in his mind against Babylon, and to his thoughts, which he has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: “Certainly the little ones of the flocks will pull them down, unless their habitation will have been destroyed with them.
Zato èujte namjeru Gospodnju što je naumio za Vavilon, i misli njegove što je smislio za zemlju Haldejsku; zaista najmanji iz stada razvlaèiæe ih, zaista æe opustiti stan s njima.
46 At the voice of the captivity of Babylon, the earth has been moved, and an outcry has been heard among the nations.”
Od praske kad se uzme Vavilon potrešæe se zemlja, i vika æe se èuti po narodima.
