Jeremija 25
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji za sav narod Judin èetvrte godine Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina, a to je prva godina Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
2 Koju reèe Jeremija prorok svemu narodu Judinu i svijem stanovnicima Jerusalimskim, govoreæi:
So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
3 Od trinaeste godine Josije sina Amonova cara Judina do danas, za ove dvadeset i tri godine, dolazi mi rijeè Gospodnja i govorih vam zarana jednako, ali ne poslušaste.
“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
4 I sla vam Gospod sve sluge svoje proroke zarana jednako, ali ne poslušaste, niti prignuste uha svojega da biste èuli.
And the LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear.
5 I govorahu: vratite se svaki sa svojega puta zloga i od zloæe djela svojih, pa æete ostati u zemlji koju dade Gospod vama i ocima vašim od vijeka do vijeka.
The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
6 I ne idite za drugim bogovima da im služite i da im se klanjate, i ne gnjevite me djelom ruku svojih, i neæu vam uèiniti zla.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
7 Ali me ne poslušaste, govori Gospod, nego me gnjeviste djelom ruku svojih na svoje zlo.
‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’
8 Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: što ne poslušaste mojih rijeèi,
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,
9 Evo, ja æu poslati po sve narode sjeverne, govori Gospod, i po Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga slugu svojega, i dovešæu ih na tu zemlju i na stanovnike njezine, i na sve te narode okolne, koje æu zatrti, i uèiniæu da budu èudo i potsmijeh i pustoš vjeèna.
behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
10 I uèiniæu da nestane meðu njima glasa radosna i glasa vesela, glasa ženikova i glasa nevjestina, lupe od žrvanja i svjetlosti od žiška.
Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 I sva æe ta zemlja biti pustoš i èudo, i ti æe narodi služiti caru Vavilonskom sedamdeset godina.
And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 A kad se navrši sedamdeset godina, onda æu pohoditi cara Vavilonskoga i onaj narod, govori Gospod, za bezakonje njihovo, i zemlju Haldejsku, i obratiæu je u pustoš vjeènu.
But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
13 I pustiæu na tu zemlju sve što sam govorio o njoj, sve što je napisano u ovoj knjizi, što prorokova Jeremija za sve narode.
I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Jer æe veliki narodi i silni carevi i njih pokoriti; tada æu im platiti po djelima njihovijem i po onom što su èinili rukama svojim.
For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
15 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod Bog Izrailjev: uzmi iz moje ruke èašu vina, ovoga gnjeva, i napoj iz nje sve narode ka kojima te ja pošljem,
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
16 Neka piju i smetu se i polude od oštroga maèa koji æu ja poslati meðu njih.
And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 I uzeh èašu iz ruke Gospodu, i napojih sve te narode, ka kojima me posla Gospod:
So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
18 Jerusalim i gradove Judine i careve njegove i knezove njegove, da budu pustoš i èudo i potsmijeh i uklin, kao što je danas,
to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
19 Faraona cara Misirskoga i sluge njegove i knezove njegove i sav narod njegov,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
20 I svu mješavinu, i sve careve zemlje Uza, sve careve zemlje Filistejske, i Askalon i Gazu i Akaron i ostatak od Azota,
all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edomce i Moavce i sinove Amonove,
Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 I sve careve Tirske i sve careve Sidonske i careve na ostrvima preko mora,
all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
23 Dedana i Temu i Vuza, i sve koji se s kraja strigu,
Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;
24 I sve careve Arapske i sve careve od mješavine koji žive u pustinji,
all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;
25 I sve careve Zimrijske, i sve careve Elamske, i sve careve Midske,
all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 I sve careve sjeverne, koji su blizu i koji su daleko, kako jednoga tako drugoga, i sva carstva zemaljska što su po zemlji; a car Sisaški piæe poslije njih.
all the kings of the north, both near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too.
27 I reci im: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: pijte i opijte se, i bljujte i padajte, da ne ustanete od maèa koji æu pustiti meðu vas.
“Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’
28 Ako li ne bi htjeli uzeti èaše iz ruke tvoje da piju, tada im reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: zaista æete piti.
If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!
29 Jer evo poèinjem puštati zlo na grad koji se naziva mojim imenom, a vi li æete ostati bez kara? neæete ostati bez kara, jer æu dozvati maè na sve stanovnike zemaljske, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’
30 Ti dakle prorokuj im sve ove rijeèi i reci im: Gospod æe s visine riknuti, i iz stana svetinje svoje pustiæe glas svoj, silno æe riknuti iz stana svojega, kao oni što gaze grožðe podignuæe viku na sve stanovnike zemaljske.
So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Proæi æe graja do kraja zemlje, jer raspru ima Gospod s narodima, sudi se sa svakim tijelom, bezbožnike æe dati pod maè, govori Gospod.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’”
32 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, nevolja æe poæi od naroda do naroda, i velik æe se vihor podignuti od krajeva zemaljskih.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
33 I u onaj æe dan biti od kraja do kraja zemlje pobijeni od Gospoda, neæe biti oplakani, niti æe se pokupiti i pogrepsti, biæe gnoj po zemlji.
Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Ridajte, pastiri, i vièite i valjajte se po prahu, glavari stadu, jer se navršiše vaši dani da budete poklani, i da se razaspete, i pašæete kao skupocjen sud.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For the days of your slaughter have come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
35 I neæe biti utoèišta pastirima, ni izbavljenja glavarima od stada.
Flight will evade the shepherds, and escape will elude the leaders of the flock.
36 Vikaæe pastiri i ridaæe glavari od stada, jer æe potrti Gospod pašu njihovu.
Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
37 I razvaliæe se mirni torovi od žestokoga gnjeva Gospodnjega.
The peaceful meadows have been silenced because of the LORD’s burning anger.
38 Kao laviæ ostavio je šator svoj, jer æe zemlja njihova opustjeti od žestine nasilnikove i od ljutoga gnjeva njegova.
He has left His den like a lion, for their land has been made a desolation by the sword of the oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
