Jeremiah 25
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar 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 has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Prorok
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
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 YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
I Jahve je svejednako slao k vama sve sluge svoje, proroke, ali vi niste slušali i niste prignuli uši svoje da čujete.
5 Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
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 you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to 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 and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
Ali me niste poslušali - riječ je Jahvina - nego me razgnjeviste djelima ruku svojih, na svoju nesreću!”
8 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Jer niste poslušali mojih riječi,
9 behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous 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 have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
I ugušit ću među njima svaki glas radosti i veselja, klicanje zaručnika i zaručnice i klopot žrvnja i svjetlost svjetiljke.
11 And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served 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 has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous 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 have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has 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 laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their 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 said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
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 have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
Neka piju dok ne zateturaju i dok se ne izbezume zbog mača što ću ga među njih poslati.”
17 And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH 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, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] 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 king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
faraona, kralja egipatskoga, s njegovim slugama i knezovima i narodom njegovim
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, 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 sons of Ammon,
Edom, Moab i sinove Amonove;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
sve kraljeve Tira, sve kraljeve Sidona, kraljeve otoka onkraj mora;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
Dedan, Temu, Buz i sve one ostriženih zalizaka,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling 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, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks 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 you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that 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 has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
Ako ne bi htjeli uzeti pehar iz tvoje ruke da piju, reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Morate piti!
29 For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH 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 “And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
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 rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides 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 pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face 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 Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable 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 refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
Više nema utočišta pastirima, niti spasa vodičima stada.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
Čuj, kako vapiju pastiri, kako kukaju vodiči stada, jer Jahve pustoši pašnjak njihov,
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
mirna su pasišta poharana od jarosna gnjeva Jahvina.
38 He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
Lav ostavlja guštaru jer će zemlja njihova opustjeti od mača pustošničkog, od jarosnog gnjeva Jahvina.
