Jeremiah 51

1 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof, who have lifted up their heart against me.

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 to Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall destroy her land: for they are come upon her on 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 not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not, him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army.

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 shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in the regions thereof.

Neka padnu pobijeni u zemlji Haldejskoj i izbodeni na ulicama njegovijem.

5 For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin 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 ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.

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 hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of 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 Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so 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 she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up 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 hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion 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 hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it 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 set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke 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 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction.

O ti, što stanuješ kraj vode velike i imaš mnogo blaga! doðe kraj tvoj i svršetak lakomstvu tvojemu.

14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.

Gospod nad vojskama zakle se sobom: napuniæu te ljudima kao skakavcima, i oni æe ti pjevati pjesmu.

15 He that made the earth by his power, that hath prepared the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

On je stvorio zemlju silom svojom, utvrdio vasiljenu mudrošæu svojom, i razumom svojim razapeo nebesa.

16 When he uttereth his voice the waters are multiplied in heaven: he lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, he hath turned lightning into rain: and hath brought forth the wind out of his treasures.

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 Every man is become foolish by his knowledge: every founder is confounded by his idol, for what he hath cast is a lie, and there is no breath 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 vain works, and worthy to be laughed at, in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

Taština su, djelo prijevarno; kad ih pohodim poginuæe.

19 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he that made all things he it is, and Israel is the sceptre 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 Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms:

Ti si mi bio malj, oružje ubojno, i tobom satrh narode i tobom rasuh carstva.

21 And with thee I will break in pieces the horse, and his rider, and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot, and him that getteth up into it:

I tobom satrh konja i jahaèa njegova; i tobom satrh kola i koji sjeðahu na njima.

22 And with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the child, and with thee I will break in pieces 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 thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his dock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces captains and rulers.

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 render to Babylon, and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil, that they have done in Sion, before your eyes, saith the Lord.

I platiæu Vavilonu i svijem stanovnicima Haldejskim za sve zlo koje uèiniše Sionu, na vaše oèi, govori Gospod.

25 Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt 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 shall not take of thee a stone for the corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for ever, saith the Lord.

I neæe uzeti od tebe kamena za ugao ni kamena za temelj, jer æeš biti pustoš vjeèna, govori Gospod.

27 Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as 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 Prepare the nations against her, the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of their dominion.

Pripravite narode suprot njemu, careve Midske i vojvode njihove i sve vlastele njihove i svu zemlju države njihove.

29 And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert 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 valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken.

Prestaše vojevati junaci Vavilonski, stoje u gradu, nesta sile njihove, postaše kao žene, izgorješe stanovi njihovi, prijevornice njihove polomiše se.

31 One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken 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 are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

I da se brodovi uzeše i jezera izgorješe ognjem i vojnici se prepali.

33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

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 Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me: he hath made me as an empty vessel: he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath 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 The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith 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 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, and 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 shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for 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 shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions.

Rikaæe svi kao lavovi i viti kao laviæi.

39 In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith 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 bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with kids.

Svešæu ih na zaklanje kao jaganjce, kao ovnove s jarcima.

41 How is Sesach taken, and the renowned one of all the earth surprised? How is 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 is come up over Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

More usta na Vavilon, pokri ga mnoštvo vala njegovijeh.

43 Her cities are become an astonishment, a land uninhabited and desolate, a land wherein none can dwell, nor 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 bring forth out of his mouth that which he had swallowed down: and the rations shall no more flow together to him, for the wall also of Babylon shall 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 out of the midst of her, my people: that every man may save his life from the fierce wrath of the Lord.

Izidi iz njega, narode moj, i izbavite svaki svoju dušu od žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.

46 And lest your hearts faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land: and a rumour shall come in one year, and after this year another rumour: and iniquity in the land, and ruler upon 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 Therefore behold the days come, and I will visit the idols of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

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 things that are in them shall give praise for Babylon: for spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith 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 as Babylon caused that there should fall slain in Israel: so of Babylon there shall fall slain in all the earth.

I kao što je Vavilon uèinio da padnu pobijeni Izrailjevi, tako æe pasti u Vavilonu pobijeni sve zemlje.

50 You that have escaped the sword, come away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

Koji utekoste od maèa, idite, ne stojte; pominjite Gospoda izdaleka, i Jerusalim neka vam je u srcu.

51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: because strangers are come upon the sanctuaries of the house of the Lord.

Posramismo se, što èusmo rug, stid popade lice naše, što tuðini uðoše u svetinju doma Gospodnjega.

52 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:

Zato, gle, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æu pohoditi rezane likove njegove, i po svoj zemlji njegovoj jeèaæe ranjenici.

53 If Babylon should mount up to heaven, and establish her strength on high: from me there should come spoilers upon her, saith 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 The noise of a cry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

Èuje se velika vika iz Vavilona, i velik polom iz zemlje Haldejske.

55 Because the Lord hath laid Babylon waste, and destroyed out of her the great voice: and their wave shall roar like many waters: their voice hath made 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 Because the spoiler is come upon her, that is, upon Babylon, and her valiant men are taken, and their bow is weakened, because the Lord, who is a strong revenger, will surely 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 make her princes drunk. and her wise men, and her captains, and her rulers, and her valiant men: and they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, and shall awake no more, saith the whose name is Lord of hosts.

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 saith the Lord of hosts: That broad wall of Babylon shall be utterly broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire, and the labours of the people shall come to nothing, and of the nations shall go to the fire, and shall 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 Jeremias the prophet commanded Saraias the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, when he went with king Sedecias to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign: now Saraias was chief over the prophecy.

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 Jeremias wrote in one book all the evil that was to come upon Babylon: all these words that are 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 Jeremias said to Saraias: When thou shalt come into Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words,

I reèe Jeremija Seraji: kad doðeš u Vavilon, tada gledaj i proèitaj sve ove rijeèi;

62 Thou shalt say: O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it: so that there should be neither man nor beast to dwell therein, and that it should be desolate for ever.

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 thou shalt have made an end of reading this book, thou shalt tie a stone to it, and shalt throw it into the midst of the Euphrates:

A kad proèitaš ovu knjigu, veži kamen za nju, i baci je u Efrat.

64 And thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and she shall not rise up from the affliction that I will bring upon her, and she shall be utterly destroyed. Thus far are the words of Jeremias.

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.
