Jeremiah 25

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, which is the first year of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon;

Riječ upućena Jeremiji o svem narodu judejskom, četvrte godine Jojakima, sina kralja judejskog - to je prve godine Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog.

2 Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke concerning all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

Prorok

3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah, even until this day, that is now three and twenty years, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

Od trinaeste godine Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja judejskoga, sve do dana današnjeg, ove dvadeset i tri godine, dolazila mi je riječ Jahvina i ja sam vam jednako govorio, ali me niste slušali.

4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, making [them] rise early and sending [them]; but ye have not hearkened, and have not inclined your ear to hear.

I Jahve je svejednako slao k vama sve sluge svoje, proroke, ali vi niste slušali i niste prignuli uši svoje da čujete.

5 They said, O do turn away every one from his evil way, and from the wrongfulness of your doings; and ye shall remain in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers, for from eternity to eternity;

I govorahu vam: “Vratite se svaki sa zla puta svojega i od zlih djela svojih i ostanite u zemlji koju Jahve dade vama i ocima vašim za sva vremena;

6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not injure you.

i ne idite za tuđim bogovima da im služite i da im se klanjate; i ne gnjevite me djelima ruku svojih, pa vam neću ništa nažao učiniti.

7 Yet have ye not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord: in order that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your own hands to your own injury.

Ali me niste poslušali - riječ je Jahvina - nego me razgnjeviste djelima ruku svojih, na svoju nesreću!”

8 Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Because ye have not hearkened to my words:

Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Jer niste poslušali mojih riječi,

9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all these nations round about, and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a derision, and perpetual ruins.

evo, ja ću poslati i podignuti sve narode sa sjevera - riječ je Jahvina - i slugu svoga Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, i dovest ću ih na ovu zemlju i na njene stanovnike i na sve okolne narode; izručit ću ih kletom uništenju i učinit ću ih užasom i ruglom, vječnim razvalinama.

10 And I will banish from them the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.

I ugušit ću među njima svaki glas radosti i veselja, klicanje zaručnika i zaručnice i klopot žrvnja i svjetlost svjetiljke.

11 And this whole land shall become a ruin and an [object of] astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Sva će se zemlja pretvoriti u pustoš i pustinju i svi će narodi služiti kralju babilonskom sedamdeset godina.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will visit on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, saith the Lord, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and will change it into perpetual desolations.

Ali kad se navrši sedamdeset godina, kaznit ću kralja babilonskog i narod onaj - riječ je Jahvina - za bezakonje njihovo i zemlju kaldejsku i pretvorit ću ih u vječne razvaline.

13 And I will bring over that land all my words which I have spoken concerning it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations.

Dovest ću na tu zemlju sve što sam protiv nje rekao - sve je to napisano u ovoj knjizi, što prorokova Jeremija za sve narode.”

14 For when many nations and great kings shall have made them also serve: I will then recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands.

“I oni će služiti mnogim narodima i velikim kraljevima i platit ću im po njihovim činima i po djelima ruku njihovih.”

15 For thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel unto me, Take the cup of the wine of this fury out of my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.

Ovako mi reče Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Uzmi ovaj pehar vina iz moje ruke i napoji njime sve narode kojima ću te poslati.

16 And they shall drink, and reel about, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

Neka piju dok ne zateturaju i dok se ne izbezume zbog mača što ću ga među njih poslati.”

17 And I took the cup out of the hand of the Lord, and caused to drink all the nations, unto whom the Lord had sent me:

I uzeh pehar iz ruke Jahvine i napojih njime sve narode kojima me Jahve bijaše poslao:

18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a ruin, an astonishment, a derision, and a curse; as it is this day;

Jeruzalem i gradove judejske s njihovim kraljevima i knezovima, neka budu razvalina, pustoš, ruglo i prokletstvo, kao što su i danas;

19 Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

faraona, kralja egipatskoga, s njegovim slugama i knezovima i narodom njegovim

20 And all the confederated nations, and all the kings of the land of 'Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and 'Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

i svu onu mješavinu naroda: sve kraljeve zemlje Usa, sve kraljeve zemlje filistejske, Aškelon, Gazu, Ekron i ono što ostade od Ašdoda;

21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of 'Ammon;

Edom, Moab i sinove Amonove;

22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

sve kraljeve Tira, sve kraljeve Sidona, kraljeve otoka onkraj mora;

23 Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all those that have their hair cut round;

Dedan, Temu, Buz i sve one ostriženih zalizaka,

24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the confederated nations that dwell in the wilderness;

sve kraljeve Arabije, sve kraljeve mješavine naroda koji obitavaju u pustinji;

25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of 'Elam, and all the kings of Media;

sve kraljeve Zimrija, sve kraljeve Elama i sve kraljeve Medije;

26 And all the kings of the north, that are far and that are near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

sve kraljeve Sjevera, blize i daleke, jednog za drugim, i sva kraljevstva na licu zemlje. A kralj Šešak pit će poslije njih.

27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Drink ye, and become drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I am sending among you.

I reci im: “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Pijte! Opijte se! Bljujte! Padnite da se više ne dignete od mača koji ću pustiti među vas.'

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup of thy hand to drink, that thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Ye must certainly drink;

Ako ne bi htjeli uzeti pehar iz tvoje ruke da piju, reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Morate piti!

29 For lo, on the city which is called by my name, I begin to inflict evil, and ye will remain utterly unpunished? Ye shall not remain unpunished; for a sword am I calling up over all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.

Jer, evo, ja sam počeo kažnjavati grad koji se zove mojim imenom. A vi zar da prođete bez kazne? Ne, nećete ostati nekažnjeni, jer ću sam dozvati mač da udari na sve stanovnike zemlje' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.

30 But thou, do thou prophesy concerning them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord will cry aloud from on high, and from his holy habitation will he send forth his voice; he will cry out very loudly over his habitation; the vintner's call, as they that tread out the grapes, will he lift up against all the inhabitants of the earth.

Ti im, dakle, prorokuj sve riječi ove i reci im: 'Jahve reče sa visine, iz svetoga stana grmi glasom, riče iza glasa protiv pašnjaka svoga, podvikuje kao oni što grožđe gaze. Do svih stanovnika zemlje

31 A tumultuous noise cometh even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he holdeth judgment over all flesh: the wicked, —these he giveth up to the sword, saith the Lord.

dopire bojni klik - do nakraj svijeta - jer Jahve se parbi s narodima, izlazi na sud sa svakim tijelom, bezbožnike će maču izručiti - riječ je Jahvina.

32 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil goeth forth from nation to nation, and a great storm-wind waketh up from the farthest ends of the earth.

Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Evo, nesreća već zahvaća narod za narodom; nevrijeme strašno već se prolama s krajeva zemlje.'”

33 And the slain of the Lord shall be on that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, nor gathered up, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the surface of the ground.

U onaj dan bit će pobijenih Jahvinih s jednoga kraja svijeta do drugoga. Za njima nitko neće naricati, niti će ih tko pokupiti i sahraniti; ostat će kao gnoj po zemlji.

34 Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and roll yourselves about [in the dust], ye leaders of the flocks; for full are your days for you to be slaughtered, and I will scatter you; and you shall fall like a costly vessel.

Kukajte, pastiri, i vičite, valjajte se po prašini, vodiči stada, jer vam se ispuniše dani za klanje, popadat ćete ko ovnovi izabrani.

35 And lost shall be the place of refuge for the shepherds, and the escape for the leaders of the flocks to escape.

Više nema utočišta pastirima, niti spasa vodičima stada.

36 There is the voice of the cry of anguish of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leaders of the flocks; for the Lord hath devastated their pasture.

Čuj, kako vapiju pastiri, kako kukaju vodiči stada, jer Jahve pustoši pašnjak njihov,

37 And in silent desolation lie the pasture-lands of peace, because of the fierceness of the anger of the Lord.

mirna su pasišta poharana od jarosna gnjeva Jahvina.

38 He hath forsaken his covert, like the young lion; for their land is become desolate, because of the fierceness of the wasting [sword], and because of the fierceness of his anger.

Lav ostavlja guštaru jer će zemlja njihova opustjeti od mača pustošničkog, od jarosnog gnjeva Jahvina.
