Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the Lord spake, concerning Babel, and cocerning the land of the Caldeans by the ministerie of Ieremiah the Prophet.
Riječ koju Jahve reče protiv Babilona, protiv zemlje kaldejske:
2 Declare among the nations, and publish it, and set vp a standart, proclaime it and conceale it not: say, Babel is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken downe: her idols are confounded, and their images are burst in pieces.
“Objavite narodima! Razglasite, ne tajite, recite: Zauzet je Babilon! Bel je postiđen: Marduk razbijen! Posramljeni su kipovi njegovi, razmrskani njegovi likovi.
3 For out of the North there commeth vp a nation against her, which shall make her lande waste, and none shall dwel therein: they shall flee, and depart, both man and beast.
Jer sa sjevera na nj se diže narod koji će mu zemlju prometnuti u pustinju; nitko više neće u njoj živjeti, i ljudi i stoka pobjeći će i otići.
4 In those daies, and at that time, sayeth the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they, and the children of Iudah together, going, and weeping shall they goe, and seeke the Lord their God.
U one dane i u vrijeme ono - riječ je Jahvina - vratit će se sinovi Izraelovi, ići će plačuć' i tražeći Jahvu, Boga svojega.
5 They shall aske the way to Zion, with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let vs cleaue to the Lord in a perpetuall couenant that shall not be forgotten.
Pitat će za put na Sion, onamo će pogled upravljati: 'Hodite, prionimo uz Jahvu Savezom vječnim, nezaboravnim!'
6 My people hath beene as lost sheepe: their shepheards haue caused them to goe astray, and haue turned them away to the mountaines: they haue gone from mountaine to hil, and forgotten their resting place.
K'o izgubljene ovce bijaše narod moj, pastiri ih zavedoše te zalutaše po brdima: moradoše s brda na brežuljke, zaboraviše gdje su im torovi.
7 Al that found them, haue deuoured them, and their enemies saide, We offende not, because they haue sinned against the Lord, the habitation of iustice, euen the Lord the hope of their fathers.
Tko ih nađe, proždire ih, neprijatelji njini zborahu: 'Nismo mi krivi, jer zgriješiše Jahvi, pašnjaku pravde, Jahvi, nadi otaca svojih!'
8 Flee from the middes of Babel, and depart out of the lande of the Caldeans, and be ye as the hee goates before the flocke.
Bježite iz Babilona! Izađite iz zemlje kaldejske! Budite poput ovnova pred stadom.
9 For loe, I will raise, and cause to come vp against Babel a multitude of mightie natios from the North countrey, and they shall set themselues in aray against her, whereby shee shall be taken: their arrowes shall be as of a strong man, which is expert, for none shall returne in vaine.
Jer evo ću dići i dovesti na Babilon mnoštvo velikih naroda; u zemlji sjevernoj svrstat će se protiv njega - odanle će biti osvojen. Strijele su im k'o u sretna junaka, prazne se ne vraćaju.
10 And Caldea shalbe a spoyle: all that spoyle her, shalbe satisfied, sayth the Lord.
Kaldeja će biti oplijenjena, do mile volje nju će pljačkati” - riječ je Jahvina.
11 Because yee were glad and reioyced in destroying mine heritage, and because ye are growen fatte, as the calues in the grasse, and neied like strong horses,
“Da! Radujte se samo i klikujte, vi pljačkaši moje baštine! Poskakujte k'o june na paši! Ržite kao ždrebad!
12 Therefore your mother shall bee sore confounded, and she that bare you, shall be ashamed: beholde, the vttermost of the nations shalbe a desert, a drie land, and a wildernes.
Mati vaša teško se osramoti, postidi se roditeljka vaša. Evo, posljednja je među narodima: pustinja, zemlja prljuša.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholy desolate: euery one that goeth by Babel, shall be astonished, and hisse at all her plagues.
Zbog gnjeva Jahvina bit će bez življa, sva će opustjeti. Tko god prođe mimo Babilon, zgrozit će se i zviždat će nad njegovim ranama.
14 Put your selues in aray against Babel rounde about: all ye that bende the bowe, shoote at her, spare no arrowes: for shee hath sinned against the Lord.
Svrstajte se protiv Babilona, opkolite ga. Strijelci, strijeljajte na nj, ne žalite strelica - Jahvi je zgriješio.
15 Crie against her round about: she hath giuen her hand: her foundations are fallen, and her walles are destroyed: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance vpon her: as she hath done, doe vnto her.
Sa svih strana nek' zaore poklici bojni. On se predaje! Stupovi mu padaju, bedemi se ruše: to Jahvina je osveta! Osvetite se Babilonu, vratite mu milo za drago!
16 Destroy the sower from Babel, and him that handleth the sieth in the time of haruest: because of the sworde of the oppressor they shall turne euery one to his people, and they shall flee euery one to his owne land.
Istrijebite Babilonu i sijača i žeteoca što srpom zamahuje u dane žetvene! Pred mačem silničkim nek' svak' se vrati svome narodu, neka bježi zemlji svojoj.”
17 Israel is like scattered sheepe: the lions haue dispersed them: first the King of Asshur hath deuoured him, and last this Nebuchad-nezzar King, of Babel hath broken his bones.
Izrael bijaše stado razagnano, lavovi ga raspršiše. Prvi ga kralj asirski proždrije, a onda mu Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, kosti polomi.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Behold, I wil visit ye King of Babel, and his land, as I haue visited the King of Asshur.
Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Evo, kaznit ću kralja babilonskoga i zemlju njegovu, kao što kaznih kralja asirskoga.
19 And I will bring Israel againe to his habitation: hee shall feede on Carmel and Bashan, and his soule shall be satisfied vpon the mount Ephraim and Gilead.
I vratit ću Izraela pašnjaku njegovu da pase po Karmelu, Bašanu, brdima efrajimskim i u Gileadu, da se sit najede.
20 In those daies, and at that time, sayeth the Lord, the iniquitie of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sinnes of Iudah, and they shall not be founde: for I will be mercifull vnto them, whome I reserue.
U one dane, u vrijeme ono - riječ je Jahvina - tražit će grijeh Izraelov, ali ga više neće biti; tražit će opačine judejske, ali ih neće naći. Jer oprostih svima koje sačuvah.”
21 Goe vp against the lande of the rebelles, euen against it, and against the inhabitantes of Pekod: destroy, and lay it waste after them, saieth the Lord, and doe according to all that I haue commanded thee.
“Na zemlju meratajimsku! Kreni na nju i na stanovnike Pekoda, zatri ih do temelja, uništi iza njih sve - riječ je Jahvina - izvrši sve kako ti zapovjedih!”
22 A crie of battell is in the land, and of great destruction.
Ratna se vika čuje u zemlji, poraz strašan.
23 Howe is the hammer of the whole world destroied, and broken! howe is Babel become desolate among the nations!
O, kako li je skršen, razbijen malj cijele zemlje! Kako li Babilon posta strašilo narodima!
24 I haue snared thee, and thou art taken, O Babel, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striuen against the Lord.
Zamku ti metnuh, Babilone, ti se uhvati i ne vidje. Zatečen si i uhvaćen, jer se s Jahvom zarati!
25 The Lord hath opened his treasure, and hath brought foorth the weapons of his wrath: for this is the woorke of the Lord God of hostes in the lande of the Caldeans.
Jahve otvori svoju oružnicu, izvuče oružje gnjeva svojega, jer ima posla za Jahvu nad Vojskama u zemlji kaldejskoj.
26 Come against her from the vtmost border: open her store houses: treade on her as on sheaues, and destroy her vtterly: let nothing of her be left.
Udarite na nju sa svih strana, otvorite žitnice njene, slažite je kao snoplje, zatrite Babilon kletim uništenjem, da od njega ne ostane ništa.
27 Destroy all her bullockes: let them goe downe to the slaughter. Wo vnto them, for their day is come, and the time of their visitation.
Pokoljite svu junad njegovu, u klaonicu neka siđu! Jao njima, došao je njihov dan, vrijeme kazne njihove!
28 The voyce of them that flee, and escape out of the lande of Babel to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, and the vengeance of his Temple.
Čujder glasa onih što pobjegoše, što utekoše iz zemlje babilonske da jave na Sionu osvetu Jahve, Boga našega, osvetu Hrama njegova!
29 Call vp the archers against Babel: al ye that bend the bow, besiege it rounde about: let none thereof escape: recompence her according to her worke, and according to all that she hath done, doe vnto her: for she hath bene proud against the Lord, euen against the holy one of Israel.
Sazovite na Babilon strijelce, sve što zapinju lukove, opkolite ga sa svih strana: nitko da ne uteče! Platite mu po zasluzi, vratite mu milo za drago, jer bi se oholio na Jahvu, Sveca Izraelova.
30 Therefore shall her yong men fall in the streetes, and al her men of warre shalbe destroied in that day, sayeth the Lord.
Zato će mu svi mladići popadati po trgovima i svi će mu ratnici u onaj dan izginuti - riječ je Jahvina.
31 Beholde, I come vnto thee, O proude man, saith the Lord God of hostes: for thy day is come, euen the time that I will visite thee.
“Evo me na te, Oholice!” - riječ je Gospoda Jahve nad Vojskama - “došao je dan tvoj, vrijeme pohoda na te.
32 And the proude shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him vp: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall deuoure all round about him.
Oholica će posrnuti, pasti, i nitko ga neće podići. Oganj ću podmetnuti gradovima njegovim i proždrijet će sve uokolo.”
33 Thus saieth the Lord of hosts, The children of Israel, and the children of Iudah were oppressed together: and all that tooke them captiues, held them, and would not let them goe.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Potlačeni su sinovi Izraelovi, zajedno sa sinovima Judinim. Oni što ih zarobiše, drže ih čvrsto i neće da ih puste.
34 But their strong redeemer, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, he shall maintaine their cause, that he may giue rest to the lande, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babel.
Ali, moćan je njihov Otkupitelj, ime mu Jahve nad Vojskama. On će obraniti parnicu njihovu - zemlji mir donijeti i smesti pučanstvo Babilona.”
35 A sworde is vpon the Caldeans, sayeth the Lord, and vpon the inhabitants of Babel, and vpon her princes, and vpon her wise men.
Mač na Kaldejce - riječ je Jahvina - na pučanstvo Babilona, na knezove i mudrace njegove!
36 A sworde is vpon the soothsaiers, and they shall dote: a sword is vpon her strong men, and they shalbe afraide.
Mač na brbljavce njegove, neka polude! Mač na njegove ratnike, neka se prestrave!
37 A sworde is vpon their horses and vpon their charets, and vpon all the multitude that are in the middes of her, and they shall be like women: a sworde is vpon her treasures, and they shall be spoyled.
Mač na njegove konje i bojna kola i na svu gomilu posred njega: nek postanu kao žene! Mač na njihove riznice; nek ih opljačkaju!
38 A drought is vpon her waters, and they shall be dried vp: for it is the lande of grauen images, and they dote vpon their idoles.
Mač na vode njihove, neka presahnu! Jer to je zemlja idola, zaludiše ih kipovi, strašila njihova.
39 Therefore the Ziims with the Iims shall dwel there, and the ostriches shall dwel therein: for it shall be no more inhabited, neither shall it be inhabited from generation vnto generation.
Zato će se ondje nastaniti risovi s čagljima, i nojevi će ondje obitavat. Dovijeka će ostat' mjesto bez življa, nitko ondje neće živjeti od koljena do koljena.
40 As God destroied Sodom and Gomorah with the places thereof neere about, sayeth the Lord: so shall no man dwell theere, neither shall the sonne of man remaine therein.
Razorit će ga kao što Bog razori Sodomu i Gomoru i susjede njihove - riječ je Jahvina. Čovjek ondje neće stanovati, sin čovječji neće u njem' boraviti.
41 Beholde, a people shall come from the North, and a great nation, and many Kings shall be raised vp from the coastes of the earth.
Evo dolazi narod sa Sjevera, puk velik i mnogi kraljevi, i dižu se s krajeva zemlje.
42 They shall holde the bowe and the buckeler: they are cruell and vnmercifull: their voyce shall roare like the sea, and they shall ride vpon horses, and be put in aray like men to the battell against thee, O daughter of Babel.
U ruci im luk i koplje, okrutni su, nemilosrdni. Graja im buči poput mora, jašu na konjima, kao jedan za boj spremni protiv tebe, kćeri babilonska.
43 The King of Babel hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: sorow came vpon him, euen sorowe as of a woman in trauaile.
Kralj babilonski ču vijest o njima: i ruke mu klonuše, muka ga spopade, bolovi ga obuzeše kao porodilju.
44 Beholde, hee shall come vp like a lyon from the swelling of Iorden vnto the strong habitation: for I will make Israel to rest, and I will make them to haste away from her: and who is a chosen man that I may appoynt against her? for who is like me, and who will appoynt me the time? and who is the shepheard that will stande before me?
“Gle, kao lav on izlazi iz guštare jordanske na pašnjake vječno zelene. Al' ja 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?”
45 Therefore heare the counsell of the Lord that hee hath deuised against Babel, and his purpose that hee hath conceiued against the lande of the Caldeans: surely the least of the flocke shall drawe them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
Zato, čujte što je Jahve naumio da učini Babilonu, čujte što je nakanio protiv zemlje kaldejske: i najsitniju jagnjad on će odvući; i sam njihov pašnjak zgrozit će se nad njima.
46 At the noyse of the winning of Babel the earth is moued, and the crye is heard among the nations.
Na glas da je pao Babilon zemlja će se potresti: razlijegat će se vapaj među narodima.
