Jeremiah 50
1 This is the Lord's message that he told Jeremiah the prophet to give about Babylon and the country of Babylonia.
Rijeè koju reèe Gospod za Vavilon i za zemlju Haldejsku preko Jeremije proroka.
2 Tell everyone the news! Hold up a sign and shout it out, don't hold back! Tell them, Babylon has fallen! Her god Bel is humiliated; the power of her god Marduk is broken; all Babylon's idols are humiliated and their power is broken.
Javite narodima i razglasite, podignite zastavu, razglasite, ne tajite, recite: uze se Vavilon, posrami se Vil, razbi se Merodah; posramiše se idoli njegovi, razbiše se gadni bogovi njegovi.
3 A northern nation will come and attack her and turn the country into a wasteland. No one will live there—both people and animals will desert it.
Jer se narod podiže na nj sa sjevera, koji æe mu zemlju opustiti, da neæe biti nikoga da živi u njoj; i ljudi i stoka pobjeæi æe i otiæi.
4 That's the time when the people of Israel and Judah will join together, weeping as they go to worship the Lord their God, declares the Lord.
U te dane i u to vrijeme, govori Gospod, doæi æe sinovi Izrailjevi i sinovi Judini zajedno, iæi æe plaèuæi i tražiæe Gospoda Boga svojega.
5 They will ask the way to Zion, and start going in that direction. They will arrive and commit themselves to the Lord in an everlasting agreement that won't ever be forgotten.
Pitaæe za put u Sion, i obrativši se onamo reæi æe: hodite, sjedinimo se s Gospodom zavjetom vjeènijem, koji se ne zaboravlja.
6 My people are sheep that are lost, led astray by their shepherds, making them wander aimlessly in the mountains. They go from place to place in the mountains and hills, forgetting where they used to rest.
Narod je moj stado izgubljeno; pastiri njegovi zavedoše ga, te luta po gorama, ide s brda na humove, zaboravivši stan svoj.
7 All those who came across them attacked them. Their enemies declared, “We're not to blame! They're the ones who sinned against the Lord, their true resting place; the Lord who was the hope of their forefathers.”
Ko ih naðe, proždiraše ih, i neprijatelji njihovi govoriše: neæemo biti krivi, jer zgriješiše Gospodu, stanu pravde, Gospodu, nadu otaca njihovijeh.
8 Run away from the city of Babylon; get away from the country of Babylonia! Lead the way like the male goats that lead the flock.
Bježite iz Vavilona i izidite iz zemlje Haldejske i budite kao ovnovi pred stadom.
9 Look! I'm assembling a coalition of strong northern nations who will come and attack Babylon. They will line up in battle against her; she will be conquered from the north. Their arrows will be like the best warriors—they don't miss!
Jer, evo, ja æu podignuti i dovešæu na Vavilon zbor velikih naroda iz zemlje sjeverne, koji æe se uvrstati da se biju s njim, i uzeæe ga; strijele su im kao u dobra junaka, ne vraæaju se prazne.
10 Babylonia will be plundered—everyone who plunders her will have plenty of loot, declares the Lord.
I zemlja æe se Haldejska oplijeniti, svi koji æe je plijeniti nasitiæe se, govori Gospod.
11 Though for now you Babylonians celebrate and sing triumphantly as you plunder my special people, though for now you jump around like a frisky young cow treading out the grain, and neigh like stallions,
Jer se veseliste, jer se radovaste plijeneæi moje našljedstvo; jer bješnjeste kao junica na travi i rzaste kao jaki konji.
12 you are going to bring shame on your mother, you are going to disgrace the one who gave birth to you. Watch as she becomes the least important of all the nations, a wilderness, a dry desert land.
Mati se vaša osramoti vrlo, roditeljka vaša postidje se; evo biæe pošljednja meðu narodima, pustinja, zemlja suha i pustoš.
13 Because of Lord's angry punishment, she will be deserted, completely desolate. Everyone who passes by will be horrified at what has happened to Babylon, and sneer at all her wounds.
Od gnjeva Gospodnjega neæe se u njoj živjeti, nego æe sva opustjeti; ko god proðe mimo Vavilon, èudiæe se i zviždaæe radi svijeh rana njegovijeh.
14 All you archers, line up ready for battle around Babylon. Shoot at her! Don't save your arrows, because she has sinned against the Lord.
Postavite se oko Vavilona svi koji natežete luk, strijeljajte ga, ne žalite strijela; jer je sagriješio Gospodu.
15 Shout war-cries against her from every side! She holds up her hands in surrender. Her towers have collapsed; her walls are demolished. This is the Lord paying her back, so you too can pay her back—do the same to her as she did to others.
Vièite na nj unaokolo; pruža ruku; temelji mu padoše, zidovi su mu razvaljeni; jer je osveta Gospodnja; osvetite mu se; kako je èinio, onako mu uèinite.
16 Stop the sower from sowing in the country of Babylon, and stop the harvester swinging the sickle to reap the grain. Under the threat of the enemies' swords, everyone runs home to their own people, they go back to where they came from.
Istrijebite iz Vavilona sijaèa i onoga koji maše srpom o žetvi; od maèa nasilnikova neka se vrati svaki svome narodu, i svaki u svoju zemlju neka bježi.
17 The Israelites are a flock that's been chased and scattered by lions. The first on the attack was the king of Assyria; then lastly Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon crushed their bones.
Izrailj je stado razagnano, lavovi ga rasplašiše; najprije ga jede car Asirski, a poslije mu kosti izlomi Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
18 So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and his country just like I punished the king of Assyria.
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pohoditi cara Vavilonskoga i zemlju njegovu, kao što sam pohodio cara Asirskoga.
19 I will lead the Israelites back to their pasturelands, to feed on Carmel and Bashan, to satisfy their appetites on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
I povratiæu Izrailja u torove njegove, i pašæe po Karmilu i Vasanu; i po gori Jefremovoj i Galadu sitiæe se duša njegova.
20 This will be when the guilt and the sins of Israel and Judah will be looked for, but none will be found, because I will forgive those people who remain that I'm looking after, declares the Lord.
U one dane i u ono vrijeme, govori Gospod, tražiæe se bezakonje Izrailjevo, ali ga neæe biti; i grijesi Judini, ali se neæe naæi, jer æu oprostiti onima koje ostavim.
21 Go and attack the land of Merathaim, and the people living in Pekod. Kill them with swords, set them apart for destruction, along with everything they leave behind. Make sure you do everything I have ordered you to do, declares the Lord.
Izidi na zemlju Meratajimsku i na stanovnike Fekodske; zatri i istrijebi iza njih, govori Gospod, i uèini sve kako ti zapovjedim.
22 The noise of battle is heard in the country, the noise of terrible destruction.
Vika je ubojna u zemlji i polom velik.
23 See how the hammer of the whole earth is lying broken in pieces in the ground! The nations look with horror on what Babylon has become!
Kako se slomi i skrši malj cijele zemlje? kako Vavilon posta èudo meðu narodima?
24 Babylon, I set a trap for you, and you were caught before you realized it. You were hunted down and captured because you fought against the Lord.
Ja ti metnuh zamku, Vavilone, i ti se uhvati ne doznavši, našao si se i uhvatio si se, jer si se zaratio s Gospodom.
25 In his anger the Lord opened his armory to bring out his weapons, for this is what the Lord God Almighty is doing in the country of Babylonia.
Gospod otvori riznicu svoju i izvadi oružje gnjeva svojega; jer je to djelo Gospoda Gospoda nad vojskama u zemlji Haldejskoj.
26 Come and attack her from every side! Open her granaries; collect the loot you take from her like piles of grain. Set her apart for destruction; don't leave any survivors.
Hodite na nju s kraja zemlje, otvorite žitnice njezine; gazite je kao stogove, i potrite je da ne ostane od nje ostatka.
27 Kill all her young bulls with the sword; let them be slaughtered. What a disaster for them, because their time has come when they're punished.
Pokoljite maèem sve teoce njezine, neka siðu na zaklanje; teško njima! jer doðe dan njihov, vrijeme pohoðenja njihova.
28 (Listen to the refugees and survivors who have returned from Babylonia, announcing in Zion, “The Lord our God is paying them back for what happened to his Temple.”)
Èuje se glas onijeh koji bježe i koji utekoše iz zemlje Vavilonske da jave u Sionu osvetu Gospoda Boga našega, osvetu dvora njegova.
29 Call up the archers to attack Babylon, yes, all of them! Completely surround her—don't let anyone escape. Pay her back for what she's done, because in her pride she defied the Lord, Israel's Holy One.
Sazovite na Vavilon mnoštvo; svi koji natežete luk, stanite u oko prema njemu unaokolo da ne uteèe nijedan, platite mu po djelima njegovijem; kako je èinio, onako mu uèinite, jer se je suprot Gospodu uznosio, suprot svecu Izrailjevu.
30 As a result her young men will be killed in the streets; all her soldiers will die that day, declares the Lord.
Zato æe mladiæi njegovi pasti po ulicama njegovijem, i svi æe vojnici njegovi izginuti u onaj dan, govori Gospod.
31 Watch out, because I'm against you, you arrogant people! declares the Lord God Almighty. Your time has come when I will punish you.
Evo mene na tebe, ponositi, govori Gospod Gospod nad vojskama, jer doðe dan tvoj, vrijeme da te pohodim.
32 You arrogant people will trip and fall. Nobody will be there to pick you up. I'm going to set fire to your towns and burn up everything around you.
Ponositi æe se spotaæi i pasti, i neæe biti nikoga da ga podigne; i raspaliæu oganj u gradovima njegovijem, i spaliæe svu okolinu njegovu.
33 This is what the Lord Almighty says: The people of Israel and Judah are being mistreated. All who captured them are holding onto them, refusing to let them go.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: sila se èini sinovima Izrailjevim i sinovima Judinijem; koji ih zarobiše, drže ih, neæe da ih puste.
34 But the one who rescues them is powerful; the Lord Almighty is his name. He will defend them and their cause, so he may bring peace on earth, but trouble to the people of Babylon.
Izbavitelj je njihov silan, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama, on æe doista braniti stvar njihovu da umiri zemlju i smete stanovnike Vavilonske.
35 A sword is raised to attack the Babylonians, declares the Lord, ready to attack those who live in Babylon, and her officials and wise men.
Maè na Haldejce, govori Gospod, i na stanovnike Vavilonske i na knezove njegove i na mudarce njegove.
36 A sword is raised to attack her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is raised to attack her soldiers, and they will be terrified.
Maè na laže njegove, i poludjeæe; maè na junake njegove, i prepašæe se.
37 A sword is raised to attack her horses and chariots, along with all the foreign soldiers with her, and they will become like frightened women. A sword is raised to attack her stores of treasure, and they will be plundered.
Maè na konje njegove, i na kola njegova i na svu mješavinu što je usred njega, i postaæe kao žene; maè na blago njegovo, i razgrabiæe se.
38 A drought has hit her rivers, and they will dry up. For it's a country full of pagan images. These horrible idols drive their worshipers mad.
Suša na vode njegove, i usahnuæe, jer je zemlja idolska, i oko lažnijeh bogova luduju.
39 Consequently desert animals and hyenas will live there, and it will be a home for owls. It will be uninhabited forever—it won't be lived in from one generation to the next.
Zato æe se ondje nastaniti divlje zvijeri i buljine, i sove æe ondje stanovati; i neæe se naseliti dovijeka i neæe se u njoj živjeti nigda.
40 In the same way that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, declares the Lord, no one will live there, no one will stay there.
Kao kad Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor i susjedstvo njihovo, govori Gospod, neæe se niko ondje naseliti, niti æe se baviti u njoj sin èovjeèji.
41 Look! An army is advancing from the north. A great nation and many kings are coming against you from the distant lands.
Evo, narod æe doæi sa sjevera, velik narod, i carevi silni podignuæe se od krajeva zemaljskih.
42 They're carrying bows and javelins. They are cruel and merciless. When they shout it's like the sea roaring. They ride on horses and attack in formation against you, people of Babylon.
Luk i koplje nosiæe, žestoki æe biti, niti æe žaliti; glas æe im kao more buèati i jahaæe na konjma, spremni kao junaci za boj, na tebe, kæeri Vavilonska.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news and he's terrified. He's overcome with fear, in pain like a woman in labor.
Car Vavilonski kad èuje glas o njima, klonuæe mu ruke, tuga æe ga spopasti i bolovi kao porodilju.
44 Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Babylonians from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose me?
Gle, kao lav izaæi æe podižuæi se više nego Jordan na stan silnoga; ali æu ga brzo otjerati iz te zemlje, i postaviæu nad njom onoga ko je izabran; jer ko je kao ja? i ko æe se preti sa mnom? i koji æe mi pastir odoljeti?
45 So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Babylon and the country of Babylonia: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
Zato èujte namjeru Gospodnju što je naumio za Vavilon, i misli njegove što je smislio za zemlju Haldejsku; zaista najmanji iz stada razvlaèiæe ih, zaista æe opustiti stan s njima.
46 The sound of Babylon's capture will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard throughout the nations.
Od praske kad se uzme Vavilon potrešæe se zemlja, i vika æe se èuti po narodima.
