Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kirjathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.
O Moabu. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Jao brdu Nebu jer je opustošeno, postiđen je Kirjatajim i osvojen, tvrđa posramljena, razorena,
2 Moab's praise is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from [being] a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be cut down; the sword shall pursue thee.
nema više dike moapske. U Hešbonu mu propast skovaše: 'Hajde da ga istrijebimo iz naroda!' A ti, Madmene, bit ćeš razoren, mač već ide za tobom!
3 A voice of crying from Horonaim; wasting and great destruction!
Slušaj! Jauci se čuju iz Horonajima: 'Pohara, propast strašna!'
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
'Moab je smlavljen!' čuje se vrištanje mališa njegovih.
5 For by the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim is heard the anguish of the cry of destruction.
Da, uz brdo Luhit uspinju se plačući. Da, niz obronke Horonajima razliježe se jauk nad propašću.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness.
'Bježite, spasavajte život, ugledajte se u pustinjsku magarad!'
7 For because thou hast confided in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
Jer si se pouzdao u svoje utvrde, bit ćeš i ti osvojen. Kemoš odlazi u izgnanstvo sa svećenicima i knezovima svojim.
8 And the waster shall come upon every city, that not a city shall escape; and the valley shall perish, and the plateau shall be destroyed: as Jehovah hath said.
Pustošnik će doći u svaki grad, nijedan mu neće izmaći: Dolina će biti poharana, Visoravan opustošena,” govori Jahve!
9 Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; and the cities thereof shall become a desolation, without inhabitant.
Stavite Moabu nadgrobni kamen, jer je do temelja srušen; njegovi su gradovi pustare, u njima nitko ne obitava.
10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood!
Proklet bio tko nemarno obavlja poslove Jahvine! Proklet bio tko krvlju mač svoj ne omasti!
11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and hath settled on his lees; he hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
Od mladosti svoje mir uživaše Moab, ležaše na droždini svojoj, nikad ga nisu pretakali iz bačve u bačvu, nikad u izgnanstvo išao nije: zato mu okus ostade svjež, miris nepromijenjen.
12 Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will send unto him pourers that shall pour him off, and shall empty his vessels, and break in pieces his flagons.
“Ali, evo, dolaze dani” - govori Jahve - “i ja ću mu poslati tlačitelje koji će ga pretakati, isprazniti njegove bačve i sudove njegove porazbijati.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
I tada će se Moab postidjeti zbog Kemoša, kao što se dom Izraelov postidio zbog Betela u koji se uzdao.”
14 How do ye say, We are mighty, and men of valour for the war?
Kako možete reći: “Mi smo junaci, hrabri ratnici.”
15 Moab is laid waste, and his cities are gone up [in smoke], and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
Pustošnik Moabov navaljuje na nj; cvijet mladosti njegove u klanice silazi, riječ je Kraljeva, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
Bliži se propast Moabova, nesreća njegova hiti.
17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
Žalite ga, svi susjedi njegovi, i svi koji znate ime njegovo. Recite: “Kako li se slomi čvrsta palica, žezlo veličanstveno!”
18 Come down from [thy] glory and sit in the drought, O inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, thy strongholds hath he destroyed.
Siđi sa slave svoje, sjedni u blato, žitelju, kćeri dibonska! Jer pustošnik Moaba navali na te, poruši sve utvrde tvoje.
19 Stand by the way, and watch, inhabitress of Aroer; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What is done?
Stani na cestu i promatraj, o žitelju Aroera! Pitaj bjegunce i preživjele, pitaj ih: “Što se to dogodi?”
20 Moab is put to shame; for he is broken down: howl and cry; tell it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
“Moab se stidi jer je slomljen. Plačite, jecajte! Objavite na Arnonu da je Moab poharan.”
21 And judgment is come upon the country of the plateau; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
Sud stiže nad Visoravan i nad Holon, Jahsu i Mefaot,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
nad Dibon, Nebo, Bet Diblatajim,
23 and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
Kirjatajim, Bet Gamul, Bet Meon,
24 and upon Kerijoth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
Kerijot, Bosru i nad sve gradove zemlje moapske, daleke i blize.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith Jehovah.
“Moabu je rog odbijen, ruka mu je slomljena.”
26 Make him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
“Opijte ga jer se htjede uzvisiti nad Jahvu: neka se Moab sada valja u bljuvotini svojoj te i on neka bude na podsmijeh.
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves, that as oft as thou didst speak of him, thou didst shake the head?
Nije li tebi bio Izrael na podsmijeh? Jesu li ga možda zatekli u krađi te mašeš glavom kad god o njemu govoriš?”
28 Leave the cities, and dwell in the rocks, ye inhabitants of Moab, and be like the dove, that maketh her nest in the sides of the cave's mouth.
“Ostavite gradove, živite u pećinama, stanovnici Moaba! Budite kao golubovi što se gnijezde na litici onkraj razjapljena bezdana!”
29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, — [he is] very proud; — his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
Čuli smo za nadutost Moaba, nadutost preveliku, ponos njegov, hvastanje, uznositost, za oholost srca njegova!
30 I know his wrath, saith Jehovah; his pratings are vain: they do not as [they say].
“Poznajem ja obijest njegovu - riječ je Jahvina - laž njegovih riječi, laž djela njegovih!
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall there be moaning.
Zato moram jaukati nad Moabom, plakati nad svim Moapcima, jecati zbog ljudi Kir Heresa.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with more than the weeping of Jaazer: thy shoots passed over the sea, they reached to the sea of Jaazer. The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
Više nego nad Jazerom, plakat ću nad tobom, o lozje sibmansko, kojem se mladice pružahu preko mora, sezahu sve do Jazera. Na tvoje berbe i žetve pade sada pustošnik.
33 And joy and gladness is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: they shall no more tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
Iščeznu radost i veselje iz voćnjaka i zemlje moapske. Nesta vina u kacama, mastioci više grožđa ne maste, veseli zvuci više nisu veseli.”
34 Because of the cry from Heshbon, unto Elaleh, unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar unto Horonaim, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah: for even the waters of Nimrim shall become desolations.
Urlanje Hešbona i Elalea čuje se sve do Jahasa. Viču od Soara do Horonajima i Eglat Šelišije, jer se i vode nimrimske pretvoriše u pustaru.
35 And I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
“U Moabu ću učiniti - riječ je Jahvina - da se ne uzlazi na uzvišice i kadi bogovima njegovim.
36 Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres; because the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.
Stoga mi srce poput frule dršće za Moabom, srce moje poput frule dršće za ljudima Kir Heresa: jer propade stečevina koju stekoše!
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped; upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
Sve su glave obrijane i brade podrezane; po svim rukama urezi, oko bokova kostrijet.
38 It is wholly lamentation upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the public places thereof; for I have broken Moab, like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith Jehovah.
Na svim krovovima Moaba i na njegovim trgovima samo zapomaganje, jer smrskah Moab kao krčag koji se nikomu ne mili” - riječ je Jahvina.
39 They howl, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! And Moab shall be a derision and a terror to all that are round about him.
Kako li je smrskan! Kako li sramotno Moab udari u bijeg! Moab postade ruglo i strašilo svim susjedima.
40 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread forth his wings over Moab.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Gle, poput orla lebdi, nad Moabom širi krila.
41 Kerijoth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Gradovi su zauzeti, osvojene tvrđave. Srce moapskih junaka bit će toga dana kao srce žene u trudovima.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah.
Izbrisan je Moab iz naroda jer se uzvisi nad Jahvu.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.
Strava, jama i zamka tebi, žitelju Moaba! - riječ je Jahvina.
44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
Tko stravi umakne, u jamu će pasti; tko se iz jame izvuče, u zemlju će pasti. Da, to ću svaliti na Moab u danima kazne njegove” - riječ je Jahvina.
45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
“U sjeni se hešbonskoj ustavljaju iscrpljeni bjegunci. Al' vatra izlazi iz Hešbona, plamen liže iz dvora sihonskog i proždire sljepoočnice Moabu i tjeme sinova nemirničkih.
46 Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives.
Jao tebi, Moabe! Umišljen si, narode Kemošev! Jer sinove tvoje u izgnanstvo odvedoše, kćeri tvoje u progonstvo.
47 But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
Ali ću promijeniti udes Moabov u budućnosti” - riječ je Jahvina. Dovde suđenje Moabu.
