Joil 3
1 Jer, gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme, kad vratim roblje Judino i Jerusalimsko,
“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah 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 gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,
3 I za moj narod bacaše ždrijeb, i davaše dijete za kurvu, i prodavaše djevojku za vino, te piše.
and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
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.
“Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
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 have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
6 I sinove Judine i sinove Jerusalimske prodadoste sinovima Grèkim da biste ih otjerali daleko od meðe njihove.
and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
7 Evo, ja æu ih dignuti s mjesta kuda ih prodadoste, i platiæu vam platu vašu na vašu glavu.
Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
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 Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it.”
9 Objavite ovo po narodima, oglasite rat, podignite junake neka doðu i idu svi vojnici.
Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
10 Raskujte raonike svoje na maèeve, i srpove svoje na koplja; ko je slab, neka reèe: junak sam.
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks 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.
Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
12 Neka se podignu i doðu narodi u dolinu Josafatovu; jer æu ondje sjesti da sudim svijem narodima unaokolo.
“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Zamahnite srpom, jer je žetva uzrela; hodite, siðite, jer je tijesak pun, kace se preljevaju; jer je zloæa njihova velika.
Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
14 Gomile, gomile u dolini sudskoj; jer je dan Gospodnji blizu u dolini sudskoj.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 Sunce æe i mjesec pomrknuti, i zvijezde æe ustegnuti svoju svjetlost.
The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
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.
The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to 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.
“So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
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.
It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; and a fountain will flow out from the LORD’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.
19 Misir æe opustjeti, i Edomska æe biti pusta pustinja za nasilje uèinjeno sinovima Judinijem, jer proliše krv pravu u zemlji njihovoj.
Egypt will be a desolation and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 A Juda æe stajati dovijeka i Jerusalim od koljena do koljena.
But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 I oèistiæu krv njihovu, koje ne oèistih; i Gospod æe nastavati u Sionu.
I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
