Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
Riječ upućena Jeremiji o svem narodu judejskom, četvrte godine Jojakima, sina kralja judejskog - to je prve godine Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskog.
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet 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 king of Judah, even to this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but 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 early and sending them; but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
I Jahve je svejednako slao k vama sve sluge svoje, proroke, ali vi niste slušali i niste prignuli uši svoje da čujete.
5 They said, Turn you again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
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 go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
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 Yet you have not listened to me, says the LORD; that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
Ali me niste poslušali - riječ je Jahvina - nego me razgnjeviste djelima ruku svojih, na svoju nesreću!”
8 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts; Because you have not heard my words,
Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Jer niste poslušali mojih riječi,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual 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 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
I ugušit ću među njima svaki glas radosti i veselja, klicanje zaručnika i zaručnice i klopot žrvnja i svjetlost svjetiljke.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Sva će se zemlja pretvoriti u pustoš i pustinju i svi će narodi služiti kralju babilonskom sedamdeset godina.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual 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 bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which 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 many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own 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 God of Israel to me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink 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 shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because 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 Then took I the cup at the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
I uzeh pehar iz ruke Jahvine i napojih njime sve narode kojima me Jahve bijaše poslao:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; 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 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
faraona, kralja egipatskoga, s njegovim slugama i knezovima i narodom njegovim
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, 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 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
Edom, Moab i sinove Amonove;
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
sve kraljeve Tira, sve kraljeve Sidona, kraljeve otoka onkraj mora;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
Dedan, Temu, Buz i sve one ostriženih zalizaka,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell 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 the Medes,
sve kraljeve Zimrija, sve kraljeve Elama i sve kraljeve Medije;
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach 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 Therefore you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink you, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which 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 it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then shall you say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; You shall certainly drink.
Ako ne bi htjeli uzeti pehar iz tvoje ruke da piju, reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Morate piti!
29 For, see, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword on 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 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say to them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar on his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread 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 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked 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, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts 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 shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the ground.
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 Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, you principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and you shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
Kukajte, pastiri, i vičite, valjajte se po prašini, vodiči stada, jer vam se ispuniše dani za klanje, popadat ćete ko ovnovi izabrani.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Više nema utočišta pastirima, niti spasa vodičima stada.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD has spoiled their pasture.
Čuj, kako vapiju pastiri, kako kukaju vodiči stada, jer Jahve pustoši pašnjak njihov,
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
mirna su pasišta poharana od jarosna gnjeva Jahvina.
38 He has forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
Lav ostavlja guštaru jer će zemlja njihova opustjeti od mača pustošničkog, od jarosnog gnjeva Jahvina.
