< Jeremiah 50 >
1 The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet.
Rijeè koju reèe Gospod za Vavilon i za zemlju Haldejsku preko Jeremije proroka.
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and lift up a banner; publish, conceal not! Say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed: her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.
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 out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: both man and beast are fled; they are gone.
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 at that time, saith Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping as they go, and shall seek Jehovah 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 shall inquire concerning Zion, with their faces thitherward, [saying, ] Come, and let us join ourselves to Jehovah, in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.
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 are lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they turned them away on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot 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 that found them devoured them, and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, 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 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flock.
Bježite iz Vavilona i izidite iz zemlje Haldejske i budite kao ovnovi pred stadom.
9 For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon, an assemblage of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her: from thence shall she be taken. Their arrows shall be as those of a mighty expert man: none shall 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 shall be a spoil: all the spoilers thereof shall be satiated, saith Jehovah.
I zemlja æe se Haldejska oplijeniti, svi koji æe je plijeniti nasitiæe se, govori Gospod.
11 For ye rejoiced, for ye triumphed, ye plunderers of my heritage; for ye have been wanton as the heifer at grass, and neighed as steeds.
Jer se veseliste, jer se radovaste plijeneæi moje našljedstvo; jer bješnjeste kao junica na travi i rzaste kao jaki konji.
12 Your mother hath been sorely put to shame; she that bore you hath been covered with reproach: behold, [she is become] hindmost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
Mati se vaša osramoti vrlo, roditeljka vaša postidje se; evo biæe pošljednja meðu narodima, pustinja, zemlja suha i pustoš.
13 Because of the wrath of Jehovah, it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all her plagues.
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 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Jehovah.
Postavite se oko Vavilona svi koji natežete luk, strijeljajte ga, ne žalite strijela; jer je sagriješio Gospodu.
15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand; her ramparts are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for this is the vengeance of Jehovah. Take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto 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 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword let them turn every one to his people, and let them flee every one 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 hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him, and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
Izrailj je stado razagnano, lavovi ga rasplašiše; najprije ga jede car Asirski, a poslije mu kosti izlomi Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
18 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, like 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 bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and in 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, saith Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon those whom I leave remaining.
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 Go up against the land of double rebellion, against it, and against the inhabitants of visitation; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
Izidi na zemlju Meratajimsku i na stanovnike Fekodske; zatri i istrijebi iza njih, govori Gospod, i uèini sve kako ti zapovjedim.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and great destruction.
Vika je ubojna u zemlji i polom velik.
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Kako se slomi i skrši malj cijele zemlje? kako Vavilon posta èudo meðu narodima?
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou, Babylon, art also taken, and thou wast not aware; thou art found, and also caught, for thou hast contended with Jehovah.
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 Jehovah hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for this is a work for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in 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 Come ye against her from every quarter, open her storehouses; pile her up like sheaves, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
Hodite na nju s kraja zemlje, otvorite žitnice njezine; gazite je kao stogove, i potrite je da ne ostane od nje ostatka.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
Pokoljite maèem sve teoce njezine, neka siðu na zaklanje; teško njima! jer doðe dan njihov, vrijeme pohoðenja njihova.
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance 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 Call together the archers against Babylon, all those that bend the bow: encamp against her round about; let there be no escaping: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath acted proudly against Jehovah, 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 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets; and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith Jehovah.
Zato æe mladiæi njegovi pasti po ulicama njegovijem, i svi æe vojnici njegovi izginuti u onaj dan, govori Gospod.
31 Behold, I am against thee, proud one, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I visit thee:
Evo mene na tebe, ponositi, govori Gospod Gospod nad vojskama, jer doðe dan tvoj, vrijeme da te pohodim.
32 and the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; yea, I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about 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 saith Jehovah of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah were together oppressed; and all that took them captives held them fast: they refused to let them go.
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; Jehovah of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet 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 The sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men;
Maè na Haldejce, govori Gospod, i na stanovnike Vavilonske i na knezove njegove i na mudarce njegove.
36 the sword is upon the liars, and they shall become fools; the sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed;
Maè na laže njegove, i poludjeæe; maè na junake njegove, i prepašæe se.
37 the sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women; the sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed:
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 upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad after frightful idols.
Suša na vode njegove, i usahnuæe, jer je zemlja idolska, i oko lažnijeh bogova luduju.
39 Therefore wild beasts of the desert with jackals shall dwell there, and ostriches shall dwell therein; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in 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 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.
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 cometh from the north, and a great nation. And many kings shall arise from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Evo, narod æe doæi sa sjevera, velik narod, i carevi silni podignuæe se od krajeva zemaljskih.
42 They lay hold of bow and spear; they are cruel, and will not shew mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses — set in array like a man for the battle, against thee, 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 hath heard the report of them, and his hands wax feeble; trouble hath taken hold of him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
Car Vavilonski kad èuje glas o njima, klonuæe mu ruke, tuga æe ga spopasti i bolovi kao porodilju.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will make him suddenly run away from it; and who is a chosen [man] whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? and who will assign me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
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 Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, which he hath taken against Babylon, and his purposes which he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: The little ones of the flock shall certainly draw them away; he shall certainly make their habitation desolate for 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 sound of the taking of Babylon the earth hath quaked, and the cry is heard among the nations.
Od praske kad se uzme Vavilon potrešæe se zemlja, i vika æe se èuti po narodima.
