Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah. The same is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
Riječ upućena Jeremiji o svem narodu judejskom, četvrte godine Jojakima, sina kralja judejskog - to je prve godine Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog.
2 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
Prorok
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even until this day, which is the twenty-third year, the word of the Lord has been given to me, and I have spoken to you, rising while it was still night, and speaking, and yet you have not listened.
Od trinaeste godine Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja judejskoga, sve do dana današnjeg, ove dvadeset i tri godine, dolazila mi je riječ Jahvina i ja sam vam jednako govorio, ali me niste slušali.
4 And the Lord has sent to you all his servants, the prophets, rising at first light, and sending, and yet you have not listened, and you have not inclined your ears, so that you would hear,
I Jahve je svejednako slao k vama sve sluge svoje, proroke, ali vi niste slušali i niste prignuli uši svoje da čujete.
5 when he said: Return, each one from his evil way, and from your wicked thoughts. And you shall dwell in the land, which the Lord has given to you and to your fathers, from ancient times and even forever.
I govorahu vam: “Vratite se svaki sa zla puta svojega i od zlih djela svojih i ostanite u zemlji koju Jahve dade vama i ocima vašim za sva vremena;
6 And do not choose to go after strange gods, so that you would serve them and adore them. And do not provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands. And then I will not afflict you.
i ne idite za tuđim bogovima da im služite i da im se klanjate; i ne gnjevite me djelima ruku svojih, pa vam neću ništa nažao učiniti.
7 And yet you have not listened to me, says the Lord, and so you have provoked me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own harm.”
Ali me niste poslušali - riječ je Jahvina - nego me razgnjeviste djelima ruku svojih, na svoju nesreću!”
8 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Since you have not listened to my words,
Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Jer niste poslušali mojih riječi,
9 behold, I will send for and take all the associates of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will lead them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all the nations that are around it. And I will destroy them, and I will set them in the midst of stupor and hissing, and continual desolations.
evo, ja ću poslati i podignuti sve narode sa sjevera - riječ je Jahvina - i slugu svoga Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, i dovest ću ih na ovu zemlju i na njene stanovnike i na sve okolne narode; izručit ću ih kletom uništenju i učinit ću ih užasom i ruglom, vječnim razvalinama.
10 And I will perish from them the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstone and the light of the lamp.
I ugušit ću među njima svaki glas radosti i veselja, klicanje zaručnika i zaručnice i klopot žrvnja i svjetlost svjetiljke.
11 And this entire land will be in desolation and in stupor. And all these nations will serve the king of Babylon, for seventy years.
Sva će se zemlja pretvoriti u pustoš i pustinju i svi će narodi služiti kralju babilonskom sedamdeset godina.
12 And when the seventy years have been completed, I will visit their iniquity upon the king of Babylon, and upon that nation, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, says the Lord. And I will set it in continual desolations.
Ali kad se navrši sedamdeset godina, kaznit ću kralja babilonskog i narod onaj - riječ je Jahvina - za bezakonje njihovo i zemlju kaldejsku i pretvorit ću ih u vječne razvaline.
13 And I will lead over that land all my words, which I have spoken against it, all that has been written in this book, everything whatsoever that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
Dovest ću na tu zemlju sve što sam protiv nje rekao - sve je to napisano u ovoj knjizi, što prorokova Jeremija za sve narode.”
14 For they have served them, though these were populous nations and great kings. And I will repay them according to their works and according to the deeds of their hands.”
“I oni će služiti mnogim narodima i velikim kraljevima i platit ću im po njihovim činima i po djelima ruku njihovih.”
15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take the chalice of the wine of this fury from my hand. And you shall cause all the nations, to which I will send you, to drink from it.
Ovako mi reče Jahve, Bog Izraelov: “Uzmi ovaj pehar vina iz moje ruke i napoji njime sve narode kojima ću te poslati.
16 And they will drink, and be stirred up, and become maddened, before the face of the sword that I will send among them.”
Neka piju dok ne zateturaju i dok se ne izbezume zbog mača što ću ga među njih poslati.”
17 And I received the chalice from the hand of the Lord, and I caused all the nations, to which the Lord has sent me, to drink from it:
I uzeh pehar iz ruke Jahvine i napojih njime sve narode kojima me Jahve bijaše poslao:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its leaders, so that I gave them over to desolation, and stupor, and hissing, and a curse, just as it is this day.
Jeruzalem i gradove judejske s njihovim kraljevima i knezovima, neka budu razvalina, pustoš, ruglo i prokletstvo, kao što su i danas;
19 “But as for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his leaders, and all his people,
faraona, kralja egipatskoga, s njegovim slugama i knezovima i narodom njegovim
20 and the entire populace in general: all the kings of the land of the south, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
i svu onu mješavinu naroda: sve kraljeve zemlje Usa, sve kraljeve zemlje filistejske, Aškelon, Gazu, Ekron i ono što ostade od Ašdoda;
21 and Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Edom, Moab i sinove Amonove;
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the land of the islands that are across the sea,
sve kraljeve Tira, sve kraljeve Sidona, kraljeve otoka onkraj mora;
23 and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all those who have shaved off their hair,
Dedan, Temu, Buz i sve one ostriženih zalizaka,
24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, who live in the desert,
sve kraljeve Arabije, sve kraljeve mješavine naroda koji obitavaju u pustinji;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media,
sve kraljeve Zimrija, sve kraljeve Elama i sve kraljeve Medije;
26 and likewise, all the kings of the north from near to far, each one facing his brother, and all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sesac: all these shall drink after them.
sve kraljeve Sjevera, blize i daleke, jednog za drugim, i sva kraljevstva na licu zemlje. A kralj Šešak pit će poslije njih.
27 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be inebriated, and vomit, and fall down. And you shall not rise up before the face of the sword that I will send among you.
I reci im: “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Pijte! Opijte se! Bljujte! Padnite da se više ne dignete od mača koji ću pustiti među vas.'
28 And if they refuse to receive the cup from your hand and to drink, you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Certainly, you shall drink!
Ako ne bi htjeli uzeti pehar iz tvoje ruke da piju, reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Morate piti!
29 For behold, I am beginning to afflict the city in which my name has been invoked, and will you be innocent and immune? You will not be immune! For I will call the sword over all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts.
Jer, evo, ja sam počeo kažnjavati grad koji se zove mojim imenom. A vi zar da prođete bez kazne? Ne, nećete ostati nekažnjeni, jer ću sam dozvati mač da udari na sve stanovnike zemlje' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
30 And you shall prophesy to them all these words, and you shall say to them: The Lord will roar from on high, and he will utter his voice from his holy habitation. When roaring, he will roar over the place of his beauty. He will call out, like those who chant in rhythm as they trample the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Ti im, dakle, prorokuj sve riječi ove i reci im: 'Jahve reče sa visine, iz svetoga stana grmi glasom, riče iza glasa protiv pašnjaka svoga, podvikuje kao oni što grožđe gaze. Do svih stanovnika zemlje
31 The sound of it will penetrate even to the ends of the earth. For the Lord is entering into judgment with the nations. He himself is entering into judgment with all flesh. I have delivered the impious to the sword, says the Lord.”
dopire bojni klik - do nakraj svijeta - jer Jahve se parbi s narodima, izlazi na sud sa svakim tijelom, bezbožnike će maču izručiti - riječ je Jahvina.
32 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, an affliction will go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind will go forth from the ends of the earth.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Evo, nesreća već zahvaća narod za narodom; nevrijeme strašno već se prolama s krajeva zemlje.'”
33 And the slain of the Lord will be, on that day, from one end of the earth, even to the other end. They will not be mourned, and they will not be gathered, and they will not be buried. They will lie upon the face of the earth like dung.
U onaj dan bit će pobijenih Jahvinih s jednoga kraja svijeta do drugoga. Za njima nitko neće naricati, niti će ih tko pokupiti i sahraniti; ostat će kao gnoj po zemlji.
34 Wail, O shepherds, and cry out! And sprinkle yourselves with ashes, O nobles of the flock! For the days have been completed that lead to your slaughter and your destruction. And you will fall like precious vessels.
Kukajte, pastiri, i vičite, valjajte se po prašini, vodiči stada, jer vam se ispuniše dani za klanje, popadat ćete ko ovnovi izabrani.
35 And escape will flee from the shepherds, and safety will flee from the nobility of the flock.”
Više nema utočišta pastirima, niti spasa vodičima stada.
36 There is a voice of outcry from the shepherds, and a wailing among the nobles among the flock! For the Lord has laid waste to their pastures.
Čuj, kako vapiju pastiri, kako kukaju vodiči stada, jer Jahve pustoši pašnjak njihov,
37 And the fields of peace have been silenced before the face of the fury of the Lord.
mirna su pasišta poharana od jarosna gnjeva Jahvina.
38 He has abandoned those he sheltered like a lion. For the earth has become a desolation before the face of the anger of the dove, and before the face of the fury of the Lord.
Lav ostavlja guštaru jer će zemlja njihova opustjeti od mača pustošničkog, od jarosnog gnjeva Jahvina.
