Jeremiah 51
1 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will raise up, over Babylon and over its inhabitants, who have lifted up their heart against me, something like a pestilent wind.
Ovako govori Gospod: evo, ja æu podignuti na Vavilon i na one koji žive usred onijeh koji ustaju na me vjetar koji mori.
2 And I will send winnowers into Babylon, and they will winnow her, and they will demolish her land. For they will overwhelm her from every side in the day of her affliction.
Poslaæu na Vavilon vijaèe koji æe ga razvijati i zemlju njegovu isprazniti, jer æe ga opkoliti sa svijeh strana u dan nevolje njegove.
3 Let him who draws the bow, not draw his bow. And let him who wears armor, not rise up. Do not spare her young men. Destroy her entire military.
Strijelac neka nateže luk na strijelca i na onoga koji se ponosi svojim oklopom; i ne žalite mladiæa njegovijeh, potrite mu svu vojsku,
4 And the slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in its regions.
Neka padnu pobijeni u zemlji Haldejskoj i izbodeni na ulicama njegovijem.
5 Yet Israel and Judah have not been widowed by their God, the Lord of hosts, though their land has been filled with transgression against the Holy One of Israel.
Jer nije ostavio Izrailja i Jude Bog njihov, Gospod nad vojskama, ako i jest zemlja njihova puna krivice svecu Izrailjevu.
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon! And let each one save his own life. Do not be silent about her iniquity. For it is the time of revenge from the Lord. He himself will repay her, in her turn.
Bježite iz Vavilona i izbavite svaki dušu svoju da se ne istrijebite u bezakonju njegovu, jer je vrijeme osvete Gospodnje, plaæa mu što je zaslužio.
7 Babylon is a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, inebriating the entire earth. The nations have drunk from her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
Vavilon bijaše zlatna èaša u ruci Gospodnjoj, kojom opoji svu zemlju; vina njegova piše narodi, zato poludješe narodi.
8 Suddenly, Babylon has fallen and been crushed. Wail over her! Take a balm to her pain, if perhaps she may be healed.”
Ujedanput pade Vavilon i razbi se; ridajte za njim; donesite balsama za rane njegove, ne bi li se iscijelio.
9 “We would have cured Babylon, but there is no cure. Let us abandon her, and let each one of us go to his own land. For her judgment has reached even to the heavens, and has been lifted up even to the clouds.
Lijeèismo Vavilon, ali se ne iscijeli; ostavite ga, i da idemo svaki u svoju zemlju; jer do neba dopire sud njegov i diže se do oblaka.
10 The Lord has brought forth our justices. Come and let us describe in Zion the work of the Lord our God.”
Gospod je iznio pravdu našu; hodite, da pripovijedamo na Sionu djelo Gospoda Boga svojega.
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers. The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. And his mind is against Babylon, so that he may destroy her. For this is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
Èistite strijele, uzmite štitove; Gospod podiže duh careva Midskih, jer je Vavilonu namislio da ga zatre; jer je osveta Gospodnja, osveta crkve njegove.
12 Upon the walls of Babylon, lift up a sign. Increase the watch! Rouse the watchmen! Prepare ambushes! For the Lord has planned and has accomplished all that he has spoken, against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Na zidovima Vavilonskim podignite zastavu, utvrdite stražu, postavite stražare, namjestite zasjede; jer je Gospod namislio, i uèiniæe što je rekao za stanovnike Vavilonske.
13 You who live above many waters, rich in treasures: your end has arrived, your measure has been cut short.
O ti, što stanuješ kraj vode velike i imaš mnogo blaga! doðe kraj tvoj i svršetak lakomstvu tvojemu.
14 The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself, saying: “For I will fill you with men as with locusts, and they will sing a rhythmic chant against you.”
Gospod nad vojskama zakle se sobom: napuniæu te ljudima kao skakavcima, i oni æe ti pjevati pjesmu.
15 The One who made the earth by his strength, who prepared the world by his wisdom, and who stretched out the heavens by his prudence:
On je stvorio zemlju silom svojom, utvrdio vasiljenu mudrošæu svojom, i razumom svojim razapeo nebesa.
16 when he utters his voice, the waters will be multiplied in the heavens. The One who lifts up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he has turned lightning into rain, and he has brought forth wind from his storehouses.
Kad pusti glas svoj, buèe vode na nebesima, podiže paru s krajeva zemaljskih, i pušta munje s daždem, i izvodi vjetar iz staja njegovijeh.
17 Each man has become foolish before his own knowledge. Each sculptor has been confounded by his own sculpture. For what he has formed of them is a lie, and there is no spirit in them.
Svaki èovjek posta bezuman od znanja, svaki se zlatar osramoti likom rezanijem; jer su laž likovi njegovi liveni i nema duha u njima.
18 They are empty works, deserving of ridicule. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Taština su, djelo prijevarno; kad ih pohodim poginuæe.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like their portion. For the One who made all things is his portion, and Israel is the scepter of his inheritance. The Lord of hosts is his name:
Nije taki dio Jakovljev; jer je on tvorac svemu i on je dio našljedstva njegova; ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama.
20 “For me, you strike together the instruments of war; and with you, I will strike together nations; and with you, I will scatter the kingdoms.
Ti si mi bio malj, oružje ubojno, i tobom satrh narode i tobom rasuh carstva.
21 And with you, I will strike together the horse and his rider; and with you, I will strike together the chariot and its rider.
I tobom satrh konja i jahaèa njegova; i tobom satrh kola i koji sjeðahu na njima.
22 And with you, I will strike together man and woman; and with you, I will strike together the old man and the boy; and with you, I will strike together the young man and the virgin.
I tobom satrh èovjeka i ženu, i satrh tobom starca i dijete, i satrh tobom momka i djevojku.
23 And with you, I will strike together the pastor and his flock; and with you, I will strike together the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you, I will strike together military leaders and civil leaders.
I tobom satrh pastira i stado njegovo, i tobom satrh oraèa i volove njegove ujarmljene, i satrh tobom knezove i vlastelje.
24 And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion, before your eyes, says the Lord.
I platiæu Vavilonu i svijem stanovnicima Haldejskim za sve zlo koje uèiniše Sionu, na vaše oèi, govori Gospod.
25 Behold, I am against you, you pestilent mountain, says the Lord, for you are corrupting the entire earth. And I will extend my hand over you, and I will roll you down from the rocks, and I will make you into a burning mountain.
Evo mene na tebe, goro, koja zatireš, govori Gospod, koja zatireš svu zemlju, i zamahnuæu rukom svojom na te i svaliæu te sa stijena, i naèiniæu od tebe goru izgorjelu.
26 And they will not take from you a stone for the corner, nor a stone for the foundations. Instead, you will be destroyed unto eternity,” says the Lord.
I neæe uzeti od tebe kamena za ugao ni kamena za temelj, jer æeš biti pustoš vjeèna, govori Gospod.
27 Lift up a sign in the land! Sound the trumpet among the nations! Sanctify the nations against her. Announce against her the kings of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Number against her Taphsar. Lead in the horse, like the stinging locust.
Podignite zastavu u zemlji, zatrubite u trube meðu narodima, pripravite narode na nj, sazovite na nj carstvo Araratsko, Minijsko i Ashanansko; postavite vojvodu suprot njemu, dovedite konje kao skakavce bodljikaste.
28 Sanctify the nations against her: the kings of Media, their military leaders, and all their civil leaders, and the entire land under their authority.
Pripravite narode suprot njemu, careve Midske i vojvode njihove i sve vlastele njihove i svu zemlju države njihove.
29 And the earth will be shaken and will be disturbed. For the plan of the Lord against Babylon will awaken, so that he may make the land of Babylon desolate and uninhabitable.
I zemlja æe se zatresti i uzmuèiti, jer æe se misao Gospodnja izvršiti na Vavilonu da obrati zemlju Vavilonsku u pustinju da niko ne živi u njoj.
30 The strong ones of Babylon have ceased to do battle. They have lived in fortresses. Their health has been devoured, and they have become like women. Her tabernacles have been set ablaze; her bars have been broken.
Prestaše vojevati junaci Vavilonski, stoje u gradu, nesta sile njihove, postaše kao žene, izgorješe stanovi njihovi, prijevornice njihove polomiše se.
31 Runner will go forth to meet runner, and messenger will meet messenger, so as to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been captured, from one end to the other,
Glasnik æe sretati glasnika, i poslanik æe sretati poslanika da jave caru Vavilonskom da mu je uzet grad sa svijeh krajeva,
32 and that the fords were seized in advance, and that the marshes have been burned with fire, and that the men of war have been set in disarray.
I da se brodovi uzeše i jezera izgorješe ognjem i vojnici se prepali.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. This is the time of her threshing. A little while longer, and the time of her harvest will arrive.”
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: kæi je Vavilonska kao gumno; vrijeme je da se nabije, još malo, pa æe doæi vrijeme da se požnje.
34 “Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has consumed me, has devoured me. He has made me like an empty vessel. He has swallowed me like a dragon. He has filled his belly with my tender ones, and he has cast me out.
Izjede me i potr me Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski, naèini od mene nepotreban sud, proždrije me kao zmaj, napuni trbuh svoj milinama mojim, i otjera me.
35 This iniquity is against me, and so my flesh is upon Babylon,” says the habitation of Zion. “And my blood is upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
Nepravda koja se èini meni i mojemu tijelu neka doðe na Vavilon, reæi æe stanovnica Sionska, i krv moja na stanovnike Haldejske, govoriæe Jerusalim.
36 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will judge your case, and I will avenge your vengeance, and I will make her sea into a desert, and I will dry up her spring.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: evo, ja æu raspraviti parbu tvoju i osvetiæu te; i osušiæu more njegovo, i izvore æu njegove osušiti.
37 And Babylon will become a tumult, the habitation of dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
I Vavilon æe postati gomila, stan zmajevski, èudo i potsmijeh, da niko neæe živjeti u njemu.
38 They will roar together, like lions, they will shake their manes, like young lions.
Rikaæe svi kao lavovi i viti kao laviæi.
39 In their heat, I will give them a drink, and I will inebriate them, so that they become drowsy, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and do not rise up, says the Lord.
Kad se ugriju, iznijeæu im da piju, i opojiæu ih da se razvesele i zaspe vjeènijem snom, da se ne probude, govori Gospod.
40 I will lead them away, like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with young goats.
Svešæu ih na zaklanje kao jaganjce, kao ovnove s jarcima.
41 How was Sesac captured, and how was the renowned one of all the earth seized? How has Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
Kako se predobi Sisah i uze se hvala sve zemlje? kako Vavilon posta èudo meðu narodima?
42 The sea has ascended over Babylon; she has been covered by the multitude of its waves.
More usta na Vavilon, pokri ga mnoštvo vala njegovijeh.
43 Her cities have become an astonishment, an uninhabited and desolate land, a land in which no one may live, nor may a son of man pass through it.
Gradovi njegovi postaše pustoš, zemlja sasušena i pusta, zemlja gdje niko ne živi, niti prolazi kroz nju sin èovjeèji.
44 And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will cast from his mouth what he has swallowed. And the nations will no longer flow together before him. For even the wall of Babylon will also fall.
I pohodiæu Vila u Vavilonu i izvuæi æu iz usta njegovijeh što je proždro, i neæe se više stjecati k njemu narodi, i zid æe Vavilonski pasti.
45 Go forth from her midst, my people, so that each one may save his life from the wrath of the fury of the Lord.
Izidi iz njega, narode moj, i izbavite svaki svoju dušu od žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.
46 For otherwise, your heart may faint, and you may be afraid at the news that is heard in the land. And the news will arrive within a year, and after that year more news will arrive. And iniquity will be in the land, and one ruler will be over another ruler.
Nemojte da odmekne srce vaše i da se uplašite od glasa koji æe se èuti u zemlji; a doæi æe glas jedne godine, a poslije njega drugi glas druge godine, i nasilje æe biti u zemlji, i gospodar æe ustati na gospodara.
47 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, when I will visit against the graven images of Babylon. And her entire land will be confounded, and all her slain will fall in her midst.
Zato evo idu dani kad æu pohoditi rezane likove Vavilonske, i sva æe se zemlja njegova posramiti, i svi æe pobijeni njegovi pasti usred njega.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all the things that are in them, will give praise over Babylon. For despoilers will approach her from the north, says the Lord.
Nebo i zemlja i sve što je u njima pjevaæe nad Vavilonom, jer æe doæi na nj sa sjevera zatiraè, govori Gospod.
49 And in the manner that Babylon has caused the slain to fall in Israel, so the slain of Babylon will fall over the entire earth.
I kao što je Vavilon uèinio da padnu pobijeni Izrailjevi, tako æe pasti u Vavilonu pobijeni sve zemlje.
50 You who have fled from the sword, approach, do not stand still. Remember from afar the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
Koji utekoste od maèa, idite, ne stojte; pominjite Gospoda izdaleka, i Jerusalim neka vam je u srcu.
51 We have been confounded, for we heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have overwhelmed the holiness of the house of the Lord.
Posramismo se, što èusmo rug, stid popade lice naše, što tuðini uðoše u svetinju doma Gospodnjega.
52 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit against her graven images, and within all her land the wounded will groan.
Zato, gle, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu pohoditi rezane likove njegove, i po svoj zemlji njegovoj jeèaæe ranjenici.
53 If Babylon were to ascend to heaven, and establish her strength on high, her despoilers would go forth from me, says the Lord.”
Da se Vavilon i na nebo popne, i na visini da utvrdi silu svoju, doæi æe od mene na nj zatiraèi, govori Gospod.
54 A voice of outcry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Èuje se velika vika iz Vavilona, i velik polom iz zemlje Haldejske.
55 For the Lord has despoiled Babylon, and he has perished the great voice from her. And their wave will make a sound like many waters. Their voice has uttered a noise.
Jer Gospod zatire Vavilon, i ukida u njemu veliku vrevu; i vali æe njihovi buèati kao velika voda, vika æe se njihova razlijegati.
56 For the despoiler has overwhelmed her, that is, Babylon, and her strong ones have been apprehended, and their bow has been weakened. For the Lord, the powerful revenger, will certainly repay.
Jer doðe na nj, na Vavilon, zatiraè, junaci se njegovi zarobiše, lukovi se njihovi potrše; jer je Gospod Bog koji plaæa, doista æe platiti.
57 “And I will inebriate her leaders, and her wise ones, and her military rulers, and her civil rulers, and her strong ones. And they will sleep an everlasting sleep, and they will not awaken,” says the King: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Opojiæu knezove njegove i mudarce njegove, vojvode njegove i vlastelje njegove i junake njegove, da æe zaspati vjeènijem snom i neæe se probuditi, govori car kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama.
58 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “That very wide wall of Babylon will be utterly overturned, and her exalted gates will be burned with fire, and the labors of the people will be as nothing, and the labors of the nations will be sent into the fire and will perish.”
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: široki zidovi Vavilonski sasvijem æe se raskopati, i visoka vrata njegova ognjem æe se spaliti, te æe ljudi biti uzalud radili, i narodi se trudili za oganj.
59 The word that Jeremiah, the prophet, instructed to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he traveled with king Zedekiah into Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was the leader of the prophets.
Rijeè što zapovjedi prorok Jeremija Seraji sinu Nirije sina Masijina, kad poðe od Sedekije cara Judina u Vavilon èetvrte godine carovanja njegova; a Seraja bješe glavni posteljnik.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in one book all the evil that was to overwhelm Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
A Jeremija napisa u jednu knjigu sve zlo koje šæaše doæi na Vavilon, sve ove rijeèi što su napisane za Vavilon.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,
I reèe Jeremija Seraji: kad doðeš u Vavilon, tada gledaj i proèitaj sve ove rijeèi;
62 you will say: ‘O Lord, you have spoken against this place so that you may destroy it, so that there would not be anyone, from man even to beast, who may live in it, and so that it may be desolate forever.’
I reci: Gospode, ti si govorio za ovo mjesto da æeš ga zatrti da niko ne živi u njemu, ni èovjek ni živinèe, nego da je pustoš dovijeka.
63 And when you will have completed reading this book, you will tie a stone to it, and you will cast it into the midst of the Euphrates.
A kad proèitaš ovu knjigu, veži kamen za nju, i baci je u Efrat.
64 And you will say: ‘So shall Babylon be submerged! And she will not rise up before the face of the affliction that I will lead over her. And she will be broken.’” The words of Jeremiah thus far.
I reci: tako æe potonuti Vavilon i neæe se podignuti oda zla koje æu pustiti na nj, i oni æe iznemoæi. Dovde su rijeèi Jeremijine.
