Jeremiah 50

1 The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

Rijeè koju reèe Gospod za Vavilon i za zemlju Haldejsku preko Jeremije proroka.

2 Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

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 comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

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 in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD 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 ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual 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 has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten 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 have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, 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 Remove out of the middle of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

Bježite iz Vavilona i izidite iz zemlje Haldejske i budite kao ovnovi pred stadom.

9 For, see, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

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 that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.

I zemlja æe se Haldejska oplijeniti, svi koji æe je plijeniti nasitiæe se, govori Gospod.

11 Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of my heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

Jer se veseliste, jer se radovaste plijeneæi moje našljedstvo; jer bješnjeste kao junica na travi i rzaste kao jaki konji.

12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the last of the nations shall be 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 the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at 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 you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.

Postavite se oko Vavilona svi koji natežete luk, strijeljajte ga, ne žalite strijela; jer je sagriješio Gospodu.

15 Shout against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to 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 handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall 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 scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished 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 habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on mount Ephraim and 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 in that time, says the LORD, 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 them whom I reserve.

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 Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you.

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 of 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 a desolation among the nations!

Kako se slomi i skrši malj cijele zemlje? kako Vavilon posta èudo meðu narodima?

24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.

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 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD 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 against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, 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 to 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 the LORD 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 you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has been proud against the LORD, 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 the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.

Zato æe mladiæi njegovi pasti po ulicama njegovijem, i svi æe vojnici njegovi izginuti u onaj dan, govori Gospod.

31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the Lord GOD of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.

Evo mene na tebe, ponositi, govori Gospod Gospod nad vojskama, jer doðe dan tvoj, vrijeme da te pohodim.

32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all 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 says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: 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; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall 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 A sword is on the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her princes, and on her wise men.

Maè na Haldejce, govori Gospod, i na stanovnike Vavilonske i na knezove njegove i na mudarce njegove.

36 A sword is on the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is on her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

Maè na laže njegove, i poludjeæe; maè na junake njegove, i prepašæe se.

37 A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mingled people that are in the middle of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on 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 on her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad on their idols.

Suša na vode njegove, i usahnuæe, jer je zemlja idolska, i oko lažnijeh bogova luduju.

39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelled 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 God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell 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 shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

Evo, narod æe doæi sa sjevera, velik narod, i carevi silni podignuæe se od krajeva zemaljskih.

42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride on horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, 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 has heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and 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 Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the 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 you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with 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 noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Od praske kad se uzme Vavilon potrešæe se zemlja, i vika æe se èuti po narodima.
