Joil 2
1 Trubite u trubu na Sionu, i vièite na svetoj gori mojoj, neka drkæu svi stanovnici zemaljski, jer ide dan Gospodnji, jer je blizu,
Blow the shofar in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD comes, for it is close at hand:
2 Dan, kada je mrak i tama, dan, kada je oblak i magla; kako se zora razastire povrh gora, tako ide narod velik i silan, kakoga nije bilo otkad je vijeka niti æe ga poslije kad biti od koljena do koljena.
A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
3 Pred njim proždire oganj, a za njim pali plamen; zemlja je pred njim kao vrt Edemski, a za njim pustinja pusta, ništa neæe uteæi od njega.
A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.
4 Na oèima su kao konji i trèaæe kao konjici.
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and they run as horsemen.
5 Skakaæe povrh gora topoæuæi kao kola, praskajuæi kao plamen ognjeni koji sažiže strnjiku, kao silan narod spreman za boj.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.
6 Pred njim æe se prepadati narodi, svako æe lice pocrnjeti.
At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
7 Oni æe trèati kao junaci, kao vojnici skakaæe na zid, i svaki æe iæi svojim putem, niti æe otstupati sa svoje staze.
They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.
8 I jedan drugoga neæe tiskati, svaki æe iæi svojim putem, i na maèeve naviruæi neæe se raniti.
One doesn’t jostle another. They each march in their own path. They burst through the defenses and don’t break ranks.
9 Po gradu æe hoditi, po zidovima æe trèati, u kuæe æe se peti, ulaziæe kroz prozore kao lupež.
They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
10 Pred njima æe se zemlja tresti, nebesa æe se pokolebati, sunce æe i mjesec pomrknuti i zvijezde æe ustegnuti svjetlost svoju.
The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
11 A Gospod æe pustiti glas svoj pred vojskom svojom, jer æe oko njegov biti vrlo velik, jer æe biti silan onaj koji æe izvršiti volju njegovu; jer æe dan Gospodnji biti velik i vrlo strašan, i ko æe ga podnijeti?
The LORD thunders his voice before his army, for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
12 Zato još govori Gospod: obratite se k meni svijem srcem svojim i posteæi i plaèuæi i tužeæi.
“Yet even now,” says the LORD, “turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 I razderite srca svoja a ne haljine svoje, i obratite se ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer je milostiv i žalostiv, spor na gnjev i obilan milosrðem i kaje se oda zla.
Tear your heart and not your garments, and turn to the LORD, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
14 Ko zna, neæe li se povratiti i raskajati se, i ostaviti iza toga blagoslov, dar i naljev za Gospoda Boga vašega.
Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God.
15 Trubite u trubu na Sionu, naredite post, proglasite svetkovinu.
Blow the shofar in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.
16 Saberite narod, osveštajte sabor, skupite starce, saberite djecu i koja sisaju; ženik neka izide iz svoje klijeti i nevjesta iz ložnice svoje.
Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go out of his room, and the bride out of her chamber.
17 Izmeðu trijema i oltara neka plaèu sveštenici, sluge Gospodnje, i neka reku: prosti, Gospode, narodu svojemu, i ne daj našljedstva svojega pod sramotu, da njim obladaju narodi; zašto da reku u narodima: gdje im je Bog?
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
18 I Gospod æe revnovati za zemlju svoju i požaliæe narod svoj.
Then the LORD was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
19 I Gospod æe odgovoriti i reæi æe svome narodu: evo, ja æu vam poslati žita i vina i ulja, i biæete ga siti, i neæu vas više dati pod sramotu meðu narodima.
The LORD answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
20 Jer æu udaljiti od vas sjeverca, i odagnati ga u zemlju suhu i pustu, prednju èetu njegovu u istoèno more a zadnju u more zapadno, i podignuæe se smrad njegov, i trulež æe se njegov podignuti, pošto uèini velike stvari.
But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things.
21 Ne boj se, zemljo, raduj se i veseli se, jer æe Gospod uèiniti velike stvari.
Land, don’t be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things.
22 Ne bojte se, zvijeri poljske; jer æe se zelenjeti pasišta u pustinji i drveta æe nositi rod svoj, smokva æe i loza vinova davati silu svoju.
Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 I vi, sinovi Sionski, radujte se i veselite se u Gospodu Bogu svojem, jer æe vam dati dažd na vrijeme, i spustiæe vam dažd rani i pozni na vrijeme.
“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.
24 I gumna æe se napuniti žita, a kace æe se preljevati vinom i uljem.
The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
25 I naknadiæu vam godine koje izjede skakavac, hrušt i crv i gusjenica, velika vojska moja, koju slah na vas.
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
26 I ješæete izobila, i biæete siti i hvaliæete ime Gospoda Boga svojega, koji uèini s vama èudesa, i narod moj neæe se posramiti dovijeka.
You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and will praise the name of the LORD, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.
27 I poznaæete da sam ja usred Izrailja, i da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš, i da nema drugoga, i narod moj neæe se posramiti dovijeka.
You will know that I am among Israel, and that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.
28 I poslije æu izliti duh svoj na svako tijelo, i proricaæe sinovi vaši i kæeri vaše, starci æe vaši sanjati sne, mladiæi æe vaši viðati utvare.
“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.
29 I na sluge æu i na sluškinje u one dane izliti duh svoj;
And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.
30 I uèiniæu èudesa na nebu i na zemlji, krv i oganj i pušenje dima.
I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 Sunce æe se pretvoriti u tamu i mjesec u krv prije nego doðe veliki i strašni dan Gospodnji.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
32 I svaki koji prizove ime Gospodnje spašæe se; jer æe na gori Sionu i u Jerusalimu biti spasenje, kao što je rekao Gospod, i u ostatku koji pozove Gospod.
It will happen that whoever will call on the LORD’s name shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.
