Jeremiah 50
1 The word that YHWH has spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet:
Riječ koju Jahve reče protiv Babilona, protiv zemlje kaldejske:
2 “Declare among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say, Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Merodach has been broken, Her grievous things have been put to shame, Her idols have been broken.
“Objavite narodima! Razglasite, ne tajite, recite: Zauzet je Babilon! Bel je postiđen: Marduk razbijen! Posramljeni su kipovi njegovi, razmrskani njegovi likovi.
3 For a nation from the north has come up against her, It makes her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even to beast, They have moved, they have gone.
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 days, and at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “Sons of Israel come in, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And they seek their God YHWH.
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 ask the way [to] Zion, Their faces [are] toward that place: Come in, and we are joined to YHWH, A perpetual covenant—never forgotten.
Pitat će za put na Sion, onamo će pogled upravljati: 'Hodite, prionimo uz Jahvu Savezom vječnim, nezaboravnim!'
6 My people have been a perishing flock, Their shepherds have caused them to err, Causing them to go back [on] the mountains, They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their crouching-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 All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against YHWH, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers—YHWH.
Tko ih nađe, proždire ih, neprijatelji njini zborahu: 'Nismo mi krivi, jer zgriješiše Jahvi, pašnjaku pravde, Jahvi, nadi otaca svojih!'
8 Move from the midst of Babylon, And go out from the land of the Chaldeans; And be as male goats before a flock.
Bježite iz Babilona! Izađite iz zemlje kaldejske! Budite poput ovnova pred stadom.
9 For behold, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from [the] land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From there she is captured, Its arrow—as a skillful hero—does not return empty,
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 Chaldea has been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied,” A declaration of YHWH.
Kaldeja će biti oplijenjena, do mile volje nju će pljačkati” - riječ je Jahvina.
11 “Because you rejoice, because you exult, O spoilers of My inheritance, Because you increase as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And cry aloud as bulls,
“Da! Radujte se samo i klikujte, vi pljačkaši moje baštine! Poskakujte k'o june na paši! Ržite kao ždrebad!
12 Your mother has been greatly ashamed, She who bore you has been confounded, Behold, the last of nations [is] a wilderness, A dry land, and a desert.
Mati vaša teško se osramoti, postidi se roditeljka vaša. Evo, posljednja je među narodima: pustinja, zemlja prljuša.
13 Because of the wrath of YHWH it is not inhabited, And it has been a desolation—all of it. Everyone passing by at Babylon is astonished, And hisses because of 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 Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, All you treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For she has sinned against YHWH.
Svrstajte se protiv Babilona, opkolite ga. Strijelci, strijeljajte na nj, ne žalite strelica - Jahvi je zgriješio.
15 Shout against her all around, She has given forth her hand, Her foundations have fallen, Her walls have been thrown down, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, Be avenged of her, as she did—do to 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 Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
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 as] a scattered sheep, Lions have driven [him] away, At first, the king of Asshur devoured him, And now, at last, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bone.
Izrael bijaše stado razagnano, lavovi ga raspršiše. Prvi ga kralj asirski proždrije, a onda mu Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, kosti polomi.
18 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after 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 have brought Israel back to his habitation, And he has fed on Carmel and on Bashan; And his soul is satisfied on Mount Ephraim and on Gilead.
I vratit ću Izraela pašnjaku njegovu da pase po Karmelu, Bašanu, brdima efrajimskim i u Gileadu, da se sit najede.
20 In those days, and at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “The iniquity of Israel is sought, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
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 Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it, And to the inhabitants of Pekod, Dry up and devote their posterity,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do according to all that I have commanded you.
“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 noise of battle [is] in the land, And of great destruction.
Ratna se vika čuje u zemlji, poraz strašan.
23 How it has been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How Babylon has been for a desolation among nations!
O, kako li je skršen, razbijen malj cijele zemlje! Kako li Babilon posta strašilo narodima!
24 I have laid a snare for you, And you are also captured, O Babylon, And you have known, You have been found, and are also caught, For you have stirred yourself up against YHWH.
Zamku ti metnuh, Babilone, ti se uhvati i ne vidje. Zatečen si i uhvaćen, jer se s Jahvom zarati!
25 YHWH has opened His treasury, And He brings out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans.
Jahve otvori svoju oružnicu, izvuče oružje gnjeva svojega, jer ima posla za Jahvu nad Vojskama u zemlji kaldejskoj.
26 Come in to her from the extremity, Open her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
Udarite na nju sa svih strana, otvorite žitnice njene, slažite je kao snoplje, zatrite Babilon kletim uništenjem, da od njega ne ostane ništa.
27 Slay all her cows, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for their day has come, The time of their inspection.
Pokoljite svu junad njegovu, u klaonicu neka siđu! Jao njima, došao je njihov dan, vrijeme kazne njihove!
28 A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of our God YHWH, 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 Summon archers to Babylon, all treading the bow, Encamp against her all around, Let [her] have no escape; Repay to her according to her work, According to all that she did—do to her, For she has been proud against YHWH, 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 her young men fall in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day,” A declaration of YHWH.
Zato će mu svi mladići popadati po trgovima i svi će mu ratnici u onaj dan izginuti - riječ je Jahvina.
31 “Behold, I [am] against you, O pride,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, “For your day has come, the time of your inspection.
“Evo me na te, Oholice!” - riječ je Gospoda Jahve nad Vojskama - “došao je dan tvoj, vrijeme pohoda na te.
32 And pride has stumbled, And he has fallen, and has none raising up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it has devoured all around him.
Oholica će posrnuti, pasti, i nitko ga neće podići. Oganj ću podmetnuti gradovima njegovim i proždrijet će sve uokolo.”
33 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
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 Their Redeemer [is] strong, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, He thoroughly pleads their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He has given trouble to the inhabitants of Babylon.
Ali, moćan je njihov Otkupitelj, ime mu Jahve nad Vojskama. On će obraniti parnicu njihovu - zemlji mir donijeti i smesti pučanstvo Babilona.”
35 A sword [is] for the Chaldeans,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;
Mač na Kaldejce - riječ je Jahvina - na pučanstvo Babilona, na knezove i mudrace njegove!
36 A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
Mač na brbljavce njegove, neka polude! Mač na njegove ratnike, neka se prestrave!
37 A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
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 sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of carved images, And they boast themselves in idols.
Mač na vode njihove, neka presahnu! Jer to je zemlja idola, zaludiše ih kipovi, strašila njihova.
39 Therefore desert-dwellers dwell with howlers, Indeed, daughters of the ostrich have dwelt in her, And it is not inhabited anymore forever, Nor dwelt in from generation to 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 the overthrow by God of Sodom, And of Gomorrah, and of its neighbors,” A declaration of YHWH, “None dwell there, Nor does a son of man sojourn in her.
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 Behold, a people has come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Evo dolazi narod sa Sjevera, puk velik i mnogi kraljevi, i dižu se s krajeva zemlje.
42 They seize bow and javelin, They [are] cruel, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, and they ride on horses, Set in array as a man for battle, Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
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 Babylon has heard their report, And his hands have been feeble, Distress has seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
Kralj babilonski ču vijest o njima: i ruke mu klonuše, muka ga spopade, bolovi ga obuzeše kao porodilju.
44 Behold, he comes up as a lion, Because of the rising of the Jordan, To the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? I lay a charge on her, For who [is] like Me? And who convenes Me? And who [is] this shepherd who stands 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, hear the counsel of YHWH, That He counseled concerning Babylon, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make the habitation desolate over 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 From the sound of Babylon having been captured, The earth has been shaken, And a cry has been heard among nations!”
Na glas da je pao Babilon zemlja će se potresti: razlijegat će se vapaj među narodima.
