Jeremija 48
1 O Moabu. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: “Jao brdu Nebu jer je opustošeno, postiđen je Kirjatajim i osvojen, tvrđa posramljena, razorena,
Concerning Moab: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.
2 nema više dike moapske. U Hešbonu mu propast skovaše: 'Hajde da ga istrijebimo iz naroda!' A ti, Madmene, bit ćeš razoren, mač već ide za tobom!
There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.
3 Slušaj! Jauci se čuju iz Horonajima: 'Pohara, propast strašna!'
A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
4 'Moab je smlavljen!' čuje se vrištanje mališa njegovih.
Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
5 Da, uz brdo Luhit uspinju se plačući. Da, niz obronke Horonajima razliježe se jauk nad propašću.
For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
6 'Bježite, spasavajte život, ugledajte se u pustinjsku magarad!'
Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
7 Jer si se pouzdao u svoje utvrde, bit ćeš i ti osvojen. Kemoš odlazi u izgnanstvo sa svećenicima i knezovima svojim.
For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
8 Pustošnik će doći u svaki grad, nijedan mu neće izmaći: Dolina će biti poharana, Visoravan opustošena,” govori Jahve!
And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.
9 Stavite Moabu nadgrobni kamen, jer je do temelja srušen; njegovi su gradovi pustare, u njima nitko ne obitava.
Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
10 Proklet bio tko nemarno obavlja poslove Jahvine! Proklet bio tko krvlju mač svoj ne omasti!
Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
11 Od mladosti svoje mir uživaše Moab, ležaše na droždini svojoj, nikad ga nisu pretakali iz bačve u bačvu, nikad u izgnanstvo išao nije: zato mu okus ostade svjež, miris nepromijenjen.
Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been changed.
12 “Ali, evo, dolaze dani” - govori Jahve - “i ja ću mu poslati tlačitelje koji će ga pretakati, isprazniti njegove bačve i sudove njegove porazbijati.
Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash in pieces.
13 I tada će se Moab postidjeti zbog Kemoša, kao što se dom Izraelov postidio zbog Betela u koji se uzdao.”
And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their confidence.
14 Kako možete reći: “Mi smo junaci, hrabri ratnici.”
How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
15 Pustošnik Moabov navaljuje na nj; cvijet mladosti njegove u klanice silazi, riječ je Kraljeva, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath hasted exceedingly.
17 Žalite ga, svi susjedi njegovi, i svi koji znate ime njegovo. Recite: “Kako li se slomi čvrsta palica, žezlo veličanstveno!”
Bemoan for him, all ye round about him, And all knowing his name, say ye: How hath it been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty.
18 Siđi sa slave svoje, sjedni u blato, žitelju, kćeri dibonska! Jer pustošnik Moaba navali na te, poruši sve utvrde tvoje.
Come down from honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee, He hath destroyed thy fenced places.
19 Stani na cestu i promatraj, o žitelju Aroera! Pitaj bjegunce i preživjele, pitaj ih: “Što se to dogodi?”
On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath happened?

Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for a derision — even he.
27 Nije li tebi bio Izrael na podsmijeh? Jesu li ga možda zatekli u krađi te mašeš glavom kad god o njemu govoriš?”
And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.
28 “Ostavite gradove, živite u pećinama, stanovnici Moaba! Budite kao golubovi što se gnijezde na litici onkraj razjapljena bezdana!”
Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit's mouth.
29 Čuli smo za nadutost Moaba, nadutost preveliku, ponos njegov, hvastanje, uznositost, za oholost srca njegova!
We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,

32 Više nego nad Jazerom, plakat ću nad tobom, o lozje sibmansko, kojem se mladice pružahu preko mora, sezahu sve do Jazera. Na tvoje berbe i žetve pade sada pustošnik.
With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath fallen.
33 Iščeznu radost i veselje iz voćnjaka i zemlje moapske. Nesta vina u kacama, mastioci više grožđa ne maste, veseli zvuci više nisu veseli.”
And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!
34 Urlanje Hešbona i Elalea čuje se sve do Jahasa. Viču od Soara do Horonajima i Eglat Šelišije, jer se i vode nimrimske pretvoriše u pustaru.
Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations.

Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.
37 Sve su glave obrijane i brade podrezane; po svim rukama urezi, oko bokova kostrijet.
For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins — sackcloth.

For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.

Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her — unto Moab — The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
45 “U sjeni se hešbonskoj ustavljaju iscrpljeni bjegunci. Al' vatra izlazi iz Hešbona, plamen liže iz dvora sihonskog i proždire sljepoočnice Moabu i tjeme sinova nemirničkih.
In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
46 Jao tebi, Moabe! Umišljen si, narode Kemošev! Jer sinove tvoje u izgnanstvo odvedoše, kćeri tvoje u progonstvo.
Woe to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters with the captivity.
