Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
O Moabu. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Jao brdu Nebu jer je opustošeno, postiđen je Kirjatajim i osvojen, tvrđa posramljena, razorena,
2 The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
nema više dike moapske. U Hešbonu mu propast skovaše: 'Hajde da ga istrijebimo iz naroda!' A ti, Madmene, bit ćeš razoren, mač već ide za tobom!
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
Slušaj! Jauci se čuju iz Horonajima: 'Pohara, propast strašna!'
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
'Moab je smlavljen!' čuje se vrištanje mališa njegovih.
5 For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
Da, uz brdo Luhit uspinju se plačući. Da, niz obronke Horonajima razliježe se jauk nad propašću.
6 Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
'Bježite, spasavajte život, ugledajte se u pustinjsku magarad!'
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
Jer si se pouzdao u svoje utvrde, bit ćeš i ti osvojen. Kemoš odlazi u izgnanstvo sa svećenicima i knezovima svojim.
8 The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as Yahweh has spoken.
Pustošnik će doći u svaki grad, nijedan mu neće izmaći: Dolina će biti poharana, Visoravan opustošena,” govori Jahve!
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
Stavite Moabu nadgrobni kamen, jer je do temelja srušen; njegovi su gradovi pustare, u njima nitko ne obitava.
10 “Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
Proklet bio tko nemarno obavlja poslove Jahvine! Proklet bio tko krvlju mač svoj ne omasti!
11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
Od mladosti svoje mir uživaše Moab, ležaše na droždini svojoj, nikad ga nisu pretakali iz bačve u bačvu, nikad u izgnanstvo išao nije: zato mu okus ostade svjež, miris nepromijenjen.
12 Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
“Ali, evo, dolaze dani” - govori Jahve - “i ja ću mu poslati tlačitelje koji će ga pretakati, isprazniti njegove bačve i sudove njegove porazbijati.
13 Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
I tada će se Moab postidjeti zbog Kemoša, kao što se dom Izraelov postidio zbog Betela u koji se uzdao.”
14 “How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
Kako možete reći: “Mi smo junaci, hrabri ratnici.”
15 Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
Pustošnik Moabov navaljuje na nj; cvijet mladosti njegove u klanice silazi, riječ je Kraljeva, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
16 “The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
Bliži se propast Moabova, nesreća njegova hiti.
17 All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
Žalite ga, svi susjedi njegovi, i svi koji znate ime njegovo. Recite: “Kako li se slomi čvrsta palica, žezlo veličanstveno!”
18 “You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
Siđi sa slave svoje, sjedni u blato, žitelju, kćeri dibonska! Jer pustošnik Moaba navali na te, poruši sve utvrde tvoje.
19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
Stani na cestu i promatraj, o žitelju Aroera! Pitaj bjegunce i preživjele, pitaj ih: “Što se to dogodi?”
20 Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
“Moab se stidi jer je slomljen. Plačite, jecajte! Objavite na Arnonu da je Moab poharan.”
21 Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
Sud stiže nad Visoravan i nad Holon, Jahsu i Mefaot,
22 on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
nad Dibon, Nebo, Bet Diblatajim,
23 on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
Kirjatajim, Bet Gamul, Bet Meon,
24 on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
Kerijot, Bosru i nad sve gradove zemlje moapske, daleke i blize.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says Yahweh.
“Moabu je rog odbijen, ruka mu je slomljena.”
26 “Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against Yahweh. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
“Opijte ga jer se htjede uzvisiti nad Jahvu: neka se Moab sada valja u bljuvotini svojoj te i on neka bude na podsmijeh.
27 For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
Nije li tebi bio Izrael na podsmijeh? Jesu li ga možda zatekli u krađi te mašeš glavom kad god o njemu govoriš?”
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
“Ostavite gradove, živite u pećinama, stanovnici Moaba! Budite kao golubovi što se gnijezde na litici onkraj razjapljena bezdana!”
29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
Čuli smo za nadutost Moaba, nadutost preveliku, ponos njegov, hvastanje, uznositost, za oholost srca njegova!
30 I know his wrath,” says Yahweh, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
“Poznajem ja obijest njegovu - riječ je Jahvina - laž njegovih riječi, laž djela njegovih!
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
Zato moram jaukati nad Moabom, plakati nad svim Moapcima, jecati zbog ljudi Kir Heresa.
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
Više nego nad Jazerom, plakat ću nad tobom, o lozje sibmansko, kojem se mladice pružahu preko mora, sezahu sve do Jazera. Na tvoje berbe i žetve pade sada pustošnik.
33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
Iščeznu radost i veselje iz voćnjaka i zemlje moapske. Nesta vina u kacama, mastioci više grožđa ne maste, veseli zvuci više nisu veseli.”
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
Urlanje Hešbona i Elalea čuje se sve do Jahasa. Viču od Soara do Horonajima i Eglat Šelišije, jer se i vode nimrimske pretvoriše u pustaru.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says Yahweh, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
“U Moabu ću učiniti - riječ je Jahvina - da se ne uzlazi na uzvišice i kadi bogovima njegovim.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
Stoga mi srce poput frule dršće za Moabom, srce moje poput frule dršće za ljudima Kir Heresa: jer propade stečevina koju stekoše!
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
Sve su glave obrijane i brade podrezane; po svim rukama urezi, oko bokova kostrijet.
38 On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says Yahweh.
Na svim krovovima Moaba i na njegovim trgovima samo zapomaganje, jer smrskah Moab kao krčag koji se nikomu ne mili” - riječ je Jahvina.
39 “How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
Kako li je smrskan! Kako li sramotno Moab udari u bijeg! Moab postade ruglo i strašilo svim susjedima.
40 For Yahweh says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Gle, poput orla lebdi, nad Moabom širi krila.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Gradovi su zauzeti, osvojene tvrđave. Srce moapskih junaka bit će toga dana kao srce žene u trudovima.
42 Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh.
Izbrisan je Moab iz naroda jer se uzvisi nad Jahvu.
43 Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says Yahweh.
Strava, jama i zamka tebi, žitelju Moaba! - riječ je Jahvina.
44 “He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says Yahweh.
Tko stravi umakne, u jamu će pasti; tko se iz jame izvuče, u zemlju će pasti. Da, to ću svaliti na Moab u danima kazne njegove” - riječ je Jahvina.
45 “Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
“U sjeni se hešbonskoj ustavljaju iscrpljeni bjegunci. Al' vatra izlazi iz Hešbona, plamen liže iz dvora sihonskog i proždire sljepoočnice Moabu i tjeme sinova nemirničkih.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
Jao tebi, Moabe! Umišljen si, narode Kemošev! Jer sinove tvoje u izgnanstvo odvedoše, kćeri tvoje u progonstvo.
47 “Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Ali ću promijeniti udes Moabov u budućnosti” - riječ je Jahvina. Dovde suđenje Moabu.
