Joil 3

1 Jer, gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme, kad vratim roblje Judino i Jerusalimsko,

For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,

2 Sabraæu sve narode, i svešæu ih u dolinu Josafatovu, i ondje æu se suditi s njima za svoj narod i za našljedstvo svoje Izrailja, kojega rasijaše meðu narode i razdijeliše zemlju moju;

I will also gather all the Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed amongst the Gentiles; and [these Gentiles] have divided my land,

3 I za moj narod bacaše ždrijeb, i davaše dijete za kurvu, i prodavaše djevojku za vino, te piše.

and cast lots over my people, and have given [their] boys to harlots, and sold [their] girls for wine, and have drunk.

4 I šta hoæete vi sa mnom, Tire i Sidone, i svi krajevi Palestinski? hoæete li da mi platite? i hoæete li da mi vratite? Odmah æu vam bez oklijevanja platiti platu vašu na vašu glavu.

And what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles? do you render me a recompense? or do you bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:

5 Jer uzeste srebro moje i zlato moje, i najljepše zaklade moje unesoste u svoje crkve.

because you have taken my silver and my gold, and you have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;

6 I sinove Judine i sinove Jerusalimske prodadoste sinovima Grèkim da biste ih otjerali daleko od meðe njihove.

and you have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that you might expel them from their coasts.

7 Evo, ja æu ih dignuti s mjesta kuda ih prodadoste, i platiæu vam platu vašu na vašu glavu.

Therefore, behold, I [will] raise them up out of the place whither you have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.

8 I prodaæu vaše sinove i vaše kæeri u ruke sinovima Judinijem, i oni æe ih prodati Savejcima u narod daljni, jer Gospod reèe.

And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken [it].

9 Objavite ovo po narodima, oglasite rat, podignite junake neka doðu i idu svi vojnici.

Proclaim these things amongst the Gentiles; declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all you men of war.

10 Raskujte raonike svoje na maèeve, i srpove svoje na koplja; ko je slab, neka reèe: junak sam.

Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your sickles into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

11 Skupite se i hodite, svi narodi unaokolo, i saberite se; tamo svedi, Gospode, junake svoje.

Gather yourselves together, and go in, all you nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the timid become a warrior.

12 Neka se podignu i doðu narodi u dolinu Josafatovu; jer æu ondje sjesti da sudim svijem narodima unaokolo.

Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.

13 Zamahnite srpom, jer je žetva uzrela; hodite, siðite, jer je tijesak pun, kace se preljevaju; jer je zloæa njihova velika.

Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread [the grapes], for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.

14 Gomile, gomile u dolini sudskoj; jer je dan Gospodnji blizu u dolini sudskoj.

Noises have resounded in the valley of judgement: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgement.

15 Sunce æe i mjesec pomrknuti, i zvijezde æe ustegnuti svoju svjetlost.

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.

16 I Gospod æe riknuti sa Siona, i iz Jerusalima æe pustiti glas svoj, i zatrešæe se nebo i zemlja; ali æe Gospod biti utoèište svome narodu i krjepost sinovima Izrailjevijem.

And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.

17 I poznaæete da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš, koji nastavam u Sionu, u svetoj gori svojoj; i Jerusalim æe biti svet, i tuðinci neæe više iæi po njemu.

And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwell in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her anymore.

18 I tada æe gore kapati slatkim vinom, i humovi æe se topiti od mlijeka, i svijem potocima Judinijem teæi æe voda, i izaæi æe izvor iz doma Gospodnjega i natopiæe dolinu Sitim.

And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the fountains of Juda shall flow with water, and a fountain shall go forth of the house of the Lord, and water the valley of flags.

19 Misir æe opustjeti, i Edomska æe biti pusta pustinja za nasilje uèinjeno sinovima Judinijem, jer proliše krv pravu u zemlji njihovoj.

Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea shall be a desolate plain, because of the wrongs of the children of Juda, because they have shed righteous blood in their land.

20 A Juda æe stajati dovijeka i Jerusalim od koljena do koljena.

But Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.

21 I oèistiæu krv njihovu, koje ne oèistih; i Gospod æe nastavati u Sionu.

And I will make inquisition for their blood, and will by no means leave it unavenged: and the Lord shall dwell in Sion.
