Jeremiah 49
1 This is what the Lord says about the Ammonites: Don't the Israelites have any children? Don't they have heirs to inherit their property? So why has Milcom taken over the territory belonging to the tribe of Gad? Why are his people living in their towns?
O sinovima Amonovim. Ovako govori Jahve: “Izrael nema sinova, nema nasljednika? Zašto je Milkom baštinio Gad i narod se njegov nastanio u njegovim gradovima?
2 Watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will signal the attack on the Ammonite town of Rabbah. It will be turned into a pile of ruins, and its villages will be burned down. Then the Israelites will drive out the people who took over their land, says the Lord.
Zato, evo, dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - i učinit ću da se zaore ratni krikovi u Rabi sinova Amonovih, i ona će biti humak poharani, i naseobine njene ognjem popaljene. Tada će Izrael opljačkati svoje pljačkaše” - govori Jahve.
3 Weep, people of Heshbon, for the town of Ai has been destroyed. Cry for help, people of Rabbah! Put on clothes made of sackcloth and start mourning; run to and fro inside your city walls, because your god Milcom will go into exile along with his priests and leaders.
“Plači, Hešbone, jer Ar je opustošen, zapomažite kćeri rapske. Opašite kostrijet, tužbalice povedite, obilazite s urezima. Jer Milkom mora u izgnanstvo sa svećenicima i knezovima.
4 Why do you boast that your valleys are so productive, you unfaithful people? You trust in your wealth, saying, “Who would dare attack us?”
Što se dičiš dolinom svojom, kćeri odmetnice, koja se uzdaš u bogatstvo svoje i govoriš: 'Tko se usuđuje ustati protiv mene?'
5 Watch out! I'm going to bring the surrounding nations to terrorize you, declares the Lord God Almighty. You will all be driven out and scattered, and no one will be able to gather you refugees together again.
Evo, svaljujem na te stravu odasvud uokolo: bit ćete raspršeni, svak' na svoju stranu, i nitko bjegunce neće skupiti.
6 However, later on I will bring you Ammonites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Ali uto ću opet promijeniti udes sinova Amonovih” - riječ je Jahvina.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says about Edom: Aren't there any wise people left in Teman? Isn't there any good advice from those with insight? Has their wisdom rotted away?
O Edomu. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Zar nema više mudrosti u Temanu, zar u razumnih nesta svj§eta, zar se izvjetrila mudrost njihova?
8 Turn and run away! Find somewhere to hide, people of Dedan, because I'm bringing disaster down on you descendants of Esau when I punish you.
Bježite, gubite se i duboko se sakrijte, stanovnici Dedana, jer Ezavu propast nosim, vrijeme kazne njegove.
9 If people harvesting grapes came to you, they'd leave some behind, wouldn't they? If thieves came during the night, they'd only steal what they wanted, wouldn't they?
Dođu li trgači k tebi, ni pabirka neće ostaviti; dođu li kradljivci noćni, opljačkat će sve što žele.
10 But I'm going to strip the whole country of bare, leaving its people with nowhere to hide. All of Esau's descendants will be destroyed, along with their relatives and friends—they will all be gone.
Jer ja sam onaj što će Ezava pretražiti i skrovišta mu otkriti da se ne mogne sakriti. Pleme je njegovo opustošeno: nema ga više! Nitko ne kaže:
11 However, you can leave your orphans to me because I will protect them. Have your widows put their trust in me.
'Ostavi siročad svoju, ja ću je prehraniti i neka se udovice tvoje u me pouzdaju!'”
12 This is what the Lord says: If those who were not required to drink from the cup of judgment had to do so, how could you not be punished yourselves? You won't go unpunished, because you have to drink it too.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Gle, oni koji odista ne bi morali piti čašu moraju je iskapiti, i zar upravo ti da ostaneš nekažnjen? Ne, ti nećeš ostati nekažnjen, morat ćeš čašu ispiti!
13 I made myself a solemn promise, declares the Lord, that the town of Bozrah will become a place that horrifies people, a complete humiliation, a pile of ruins, and a name that's used as a curse word. All its surrounding towns will also be left in ruins forever.
Jer samim se sobom zakleh - riječ je Jahvina: Bosra će postati ruglo i sramota, pustinja i prokletstvo; a svi njezini gradovi bit će vječne razvaline.”
14 I received this message from the Lord. He has sent a messenger to the nations: Get yourselves ready to attack Edom! Prepare for battle!
Jahve mi vijest uputi, glasnik bi poslan k narodima: “Skupite se! Krenite na nj, krenite! Ustajte! U boj!
15 Watch as I will make you insignificant compared to other nations—everyone will look down on you.
Jer, gle, učinit ću te malim među narodima, prezrenim među ljudima.
16 The fear you once created in others, and your pride in yourselves, has fooled you into overconfidence, you people living on the rocky mountain tops. Though you make your homes high out of reach like an eagle's nest, I will tear you down, even from there, declares the Lord.
Strah te tvoj zaveo, uznositost srca tvoga, ti koji živiš u pećinama kamenim i držiš se visova planinskih te viješ gnijezdo na timoru, k'o orlovi, odande ću te strovaliti” - riječ je Jahvina.
17 People will be horrified at what's happened to Edom. Everyone passing by will be shocked, and will sneer at all its damage.
“Edom će postati pustoš; tko god njime prođe, zaprepastit će se i zviždati zbog svih rana njegovih.
18 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, along with their neighboring towns, says the Lord, nobody will live there—they will become uninhabited.
Razorit će ga kao Sodomu i Gomoru i susjede njihove” - govori Jahve. Čovjek ondje neće stanovati, sin čovječji neće u njem boraviti.
19 Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Edomites from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose me?
“Gle, kao lav on izlazi iz guštare jordanske na pašnjake vječno zelene. Ali ću ga učas otjerati i smjestiti ondje svog izabranika. Jer tko je meni ravan? I tko će mene na račun pozvati? I koji će mi pastir odoljeti?”
20 So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Edom and the people of Teman: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
Zato čujte što je Jahve naumio učiniti Edomu, čujte što je nakanio protiv stanovnika Temana: i najsitniju jagnjad on će odvući, i sam njihov pašnjak zgrozit će se nad njima.
21 When they fall, the sound they make will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard all the way to the Red Sea.
Od lomljave pada njina zemlja će se potresti, razlijegat će se vapaj do Crvenog mora!
22 Watch as an enemy like an eagle flies high, then swoops down, spreading its wings as it attacks Bozrah. At that time Edom's warriors will be as scared as a woman in labor.
Gle, poput orla on se diže i lebdi, nad Bosrom širi krila. U dan onaj srce će junaka edomskih biti kao srce žene u trudovima.
23 A prophecy about Damascus: The towns of Hamath and Arpad are disturbed, because they've received bad news. They are fearful, restless like the sea. Nothing can calm their worries.
O Damasku. Smeteni su Hamat i Arpad jer zlu vijest čuše. Srce im se steže od užasa i smirit se ne može.
24 The people of Damascus are demoralized—they turn and run away in panic, overcome by pain and anguish like a woman in labor.
Obeshrabren je Damask, u bijeg udario, strah ga spopao, tjeskoba i bolovi obuzeli ga kao porodilju.
25 Why isn't the city that is praised deserted, the city that made me happy?
Kako? Napušten je slavni grad, grad radosti moje!
26 For on that day its young men will die in its streets, all its defenders will be killed, declares the Lord of Hosts.
Zato će mladići njegovi popadati po trgovima, svi će ratnici poginuti u onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
27 I'm going to set fire to the walls of Damascus; that will burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad.
“Potpalit ću vatrom zidine Damaska: plamen će proždrijeti dvor Ben-Hadadov.”
28 A prophecy about the land of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that were attacked by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. This is what the Lord says: Go and attack Kedar; destroy the people of the east!
O Kedaru i kraljevstvima hasorskim koje je potukao Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski. Ovako govori Jahve: “Ustajte, na Kedar navalite, uništite sinove Istoka!
29 Take their tents and their flocks! Carry off their tent curtains and all their possessions! Take their camels for yourselves. Shout out to them: “Terror is everywhere!”
Nek' im se oduzmu šatori i stada, šatorska krila i sva im oprema! Neka im se deve odvedu, i nek' viču na njih: 'Strava odasvud!'
30 Run! Get away as far as you can! Find somewhere to hide, people of Hazor, declares the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has made plans to attack and destroy you.
Bježite glavom bez obzira, duboko se skrijte, žitelji Hasora - riječ je Jahvina. Jer Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, snuje naum protiv vas, navalu smišlja:
31 Go and attack that self-satisfied nation that thinks it's safe, declares the Lord. They don't have any barred gates and have no allies.
'Ustajte, udarite na mirni narod što živi bez straha - riječ je Jahvina - što nema vrata ni zasuna, što u osami prebiva!
32 Their camels and large herds will be plunder for you. I will scatter them everywhere, these desert people who trim their hair on the sides of their heads. I will bring disaster down on them from all directions, declares the Lord.
Deve njihove bit će plijen, mnoštvo ovaca otimačina!' I raspršit ću ih na sve strane, one ljude obrijanih zalizaka, i dovest ću odasvud na njih nesreću - riječ je Jahvina.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals live, a place abandoned forever. No one will live there; it will become uninhabited.
Hasor će postati brlog čagaljski i pustinja vječna. Čovjek ondje neće prebivati, neće se ondje nastaniti sin čovječji.”
34 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This was at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji o Elamu, u početku kraljevanja Sidkije, kralja judejskoga.
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! I'm going to smash the bows of the Elamites, the weapon they rely on for their power.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Lomim, evo, luk Elamov, srž snage njegove.
36 I will bring winds from all directions to attack Elam, and I will scatter them in all directions. There won't be a nation that doesn't have some of Elam's exiles.
Četiri ću vjetra dognati na Elam sa četiri kraja neba i raspršit Elamce u sva četiri vjetra, i neće biti naroda kamo neće stići bjegunci elamski.
37 I will smash the Elamites in front of their enemies, before those who want to kill them. In my furious anger I will bring disaster down on them, declares the Lord. I will chase them down with the sword until I have destroyed them.
Utjerat ću Elamcima strah u kosti pred njihovim dušmanima. Pustit ću na njih nesreću, oganj gnjeva svojega. Poslat ću mač za njima dok ne budu sasvim uništeni.
38 I will set up my throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials, declares the Lord.
I postavit ću u Elamu prijesto svoj i zatrt ću ondje kralja i sve knezove” - riječ je Jahvina.
39 However, later on I will bring the Elamites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Ali ću okrenut' udes Elama” - riječ je Jahvina.
