Jeremiah, 49

1. Against the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord: “Does Israel have no sons? Or is there no heir for him? Then why has Milcom possessed the inheritance of Gad, and why have his people lived in his cities?

1. O sinovima Amonovim. Ovako govori Jahve: "Izrael nema sinova, nema nasljednika? Zašto je Milkom baštinio Gad i narod se njegov nastanio u njegovim gradovima?

2. Therefore, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will cause the noise of battle to be heard over Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. And it will be scattered into a tumult, and her daughters will be burned with fire. And Israel shall possess those who had possessed him, says the Lord.

2. Zato, evo, dolaze dani - rijeè je Jahvina - i uèinit æu da se zaore ratni krikovi u Rabi sinova Amonovih, i ona æe biti humak poharani, i naseobine njene ognjem popaljene. Tada æe Izrael opljaèkati svoje pljaèkaše" - govori Jahve.

3. Wail, O Heshbon! For Ai has been devastated. Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Wrap yourselves with haircloth. Mourn and circle the hedges. For Milcom will be led into the transmigration: his priests and his leaders together.

3. "Plaèi, Hešbone, jer Ar je opustošen, zapomažite kæeri rapske. Opašite kostrijet, tužbalice povedite, obilazite s urezima. Jer Milkom mora u izgnanstvo sa sveæenicima i knezovima.

4. Why have you gloried in the valleys? Your valley has flowed away, O delicate daughter, for you had confidence in your treasures, and you were saying, ‘Who can approach me?’

4. Što se dièiš dolinom svojom, kæeri odmetnice, koja se uzdaš u bogatstvo svoje i govoriš: 'Tko se usuðuje ustati protiv mene?'

5. Behold, I will lead a terror over you, says the Lord, the God of hosts, from those who are all around you. And you will be dispersed, each one from before your sight. There will be no one who will gather together those who are fleeing.

5. Evo, svaljujem na te stravu odasvud uokolo: bit æete raspršeni, svak' na svoju stranu, i nitko bjegunce neæe skupiti.

6. And after this, I will cause the captives of the sons of Ammon to return, says the Lord.”

6. Ali uto æu opet promijeniti udes sinova Amonovih" - rijeè je Jahvina.

7. Against Idumea. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman? Counsel has perished from the sons. Their wisdom has become useless.

7. O Edomu. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: "Zar nema više mudrosti u Temanu, zar u razumnih nesta svj§eta, zar se izvjetrila mudrost njihova?

8. Flee and turn your backs! Descend into the chasm, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I have brought the perdition of Esau over him, the time of his visitation.

8. Bježite, gubite se i duboko se sakrijte, stanovnici Dedana, jer Ezavu propast nosim, vrijeme kazne njegove.

9. If those who gather grapes had passed by you, would they not have left behind a cluster? If there were thieves in the night, they would seize what was enough for themselves.

9. Doðu li trgaèi k tebi, ni pabirka neæe ostaviti; doðu li kradljivci noæni, opljaèkat æe sve što žele.

10. Yet truly, I have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his secrets, and he is not able to be concealed. His offspring has been devastated, with his brothers and his neighbors, and he himself will not exist.

10. Jer ja sam onaj što æe Ezava pretražiti i skrovišta mu otkriti da se ne mogne sakriti. Pleme je njegovo opustošeno: nema ga više! Nitko ne kaže:

11. Leave behind your orphans. I will make sure that they live. And your widows will hope in me.”

11. 'Ostavi siroèad svoju, ja æu je prehraniti i neka se udovice tvoje u me pouzdaju!'"

12. For thus says the Lord: “Behold, those who judged that they would not drink the cup, will certainly drink. And so, will you be released as if you were innocent? You will not be released as if innocent. Instead, you shall certainly drink.

12. Jer ovako govori Jahve: "Gle, oni koji odista ne bi morali piti èašu moraju je iskapiti, i zar upravo ti da ostaneš nekažnjen? Ne, ti neæeš ostati nekažnjen, morat æeš èašu ispiti!

13. For I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will be a desolation, and a disgrace, and a wasteland, and a curse. And all her cities will be a perpetual wilderness.

13. Jer samim se sobom zakleh - rijeè je Jahvina: Bosra æe postati ruglo i sramota, pustinja i prokletstvo; a svi njezini gradovi bit æe vjeène razvaline."

14. I have heard a report from the Lord, and an legate has been sent to the nations: ‘Gather yourselves together, and go forth against her, and let us rise up to battle.’

14. Jahve mi vijest uputi, glasnik bi poslan k narodima: "Skupite se! Krenite na nj, krenite! Ustajte! U boj!

15. For behold, I have made you little among the nations, contemptible among men.

15. Jer, gle, uèinit æu te malim meðu narodima, prezrenim meðu ljudima.

16. Your arrogance has deceived you, by the pride of your heart, you who live in the caverns of the rock and who strive to take hold of the height of the hill. But even if you make your nest like that of an eagle, I will pull you down from there, says the Lord.

16. Strah te tvoj zaveo, uznositost srca tvoga, ti koji živiš u peæinama kamenim i držiš se visova planinskih te viješ gnijezdo na timoru, k'o orlovi, odande æu te strovaliti" - rijeè je Jahvina.

17. And Idumea will be a desert. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied and will hiss over all its wounds.

17. "Edom æe postati pustoš; tko god njime proðe, zaprepastit æe se i zviždati zbog svih rana njegovih.

18. Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord: there will not be a man living there, and no son of man will tend it.

18. Razorit æe ga kao Sodomu i Gomoru i susjede njihove" - govori Jahve. Èovjek ondje neæe stanovati, sin èovjeèji neæe u njem boraviti.

19. Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan, against the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush against her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?

19. "Gle, kao lav on izlazi iz guštare jordanske na pašnjake vjeèno zelene. Ali æu ga uèas otjerati i smjestiti ondje svog izabranika. Jer tko je meni ravan? I tko æe mene na raèun pozvati? I koji æe mi pastir odoljeti?"

20. Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has undertaken concerning Edom, and to his thoughts, which he has devised concerning the inhabitants of Teman. Certainly, the little ones of the flock will cast them down, unless they scatter them with their habitation.

20. Zato èujte što je Jahve naumio uèiniti Edomu, èujte što je nakanio protiv stanovnika Temana: i najsitniju jagnjad on æe odvuæi, i sam njihov pašnjak zgrozit æe se nad njima.

21. The earth has been shaken at the noise of their destruction. The outcry of their voice has been heard at the Red Sea.

21. Od lomljave pada njina zemlja æe se potresti, razlijegat æe se vapaj do Crvenog mora!

22. Behold, he will ascend like an eagle and will fly. And he will spread his wings over Bozrah. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Idumea will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.”

22. Gle, poput orla on se diže i lebdi, nad Bosrom širi krila. U dan onaj srce æe junaka edomskih biti kao srce žene u trudovima.

23. Against Damascus. “Hamath has been confounded, with Arpad. For they have heard a most grievous report. They have been stirred up like the sea. Because of anxiousness, they were not able to rest.

23. O Damasku. Smeteni su Hamat i Arpad jer zlu vijest èuše. Srce im se steže od užasa i smirit se ne može.

24. Damascus has been broken. She has been turned to flight. Trembling has taken hold of her. Anguish and sorrows have seized her, like a woman giving birth.

24. Obeshrabren je Damask, u bijeg udario, strah ga spopao, tjeskoba i bolovi obuzeli ga kao porodilju.

25. How could they have abandoned the praiseworthy city, the city of rejoicing?

25. Kako? Napušten je slavni grad, grad radosti moje!

26. For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all the men of battle will be silenced in that day, says the Lord of hosts.

26. Zato æe mladiæi njegovi popadati po trgovima, svi æe ratnici poginuti u onaj dan - rijeè je Jahve nad Vojskama.

27. And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the defensive walls of Ben-hadad.”

27. "Potpalit æu vatrom zidine Damaska: plamen æe proždrijeti dvor Ben-Hadadov."

28. Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has struck down. Thus says the Lord: “Rise up and ascend to Kedar, and lay waste to the sons of the East.

28. O Kedaru i kraljevstvima hasorskim koje je potukao Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski. Ovako govori Jahve: "Ustajte, na Kedar navalite, uništite sinove Istoka!

29. They will seize their tabernacles and their flocks. And they will take for themselves their tents, and all their vessels, and their camels. And they will call down a terror upon them on every side.

29. Nek' im se oduzmu šatori i stada, šatorska krila i sva im oprema! Neka im se deve odvedu, i nek' vièu na njih: 'Strava odasvud!'

30. Flee, go away urgently! Sit in deep pits, you who inhabit Hazor, says the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has undertaken a counsel against you, and he has devised plans against you.

30. Bježite glavom bez obzira, duboko se skrijte, žitelji Hasora - rijeè je Jahvina. Jer Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, snuje naum protiv vas, navalu smišlja:

31. Rise up, and ascend to a nation that is quiet and lives in confidence, says the Lord. They have neither gates nor bars. They dwell alone.

31. 'Ustajte, udarite na mirni narod što živi bez straha - rijeè je Jahvina - što nema vrata ni zasuna, što u osami prebiva!

32. And their camels will be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle will be a prey. And I will disperse, into every wind, those who have shaved their hair. And from all their confines, I will lead great destruction over them, says the Lord.

32. Deve njihove bit æe plijen, mnoštvo ovaca otimaèina!' I raspršit æu ih na sve strane, one ljude obrijanih zalizaka, i dovest æu odasvud na njih nesreæu - rijeè je Jahvina.

33. And Hazor will be a habitation for serpents, deserted even unto eternity. No man will abide there, nor will a son of man tend it.”

33. Hasor æe postati brlog èagaljski i pustinja vjeèna. Èovjek ondje neæe prebivati, neæe se ondje nastaniti sin èovjeèji."

34. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying:

34. Rijeè koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji o Elamu, u poèetku kraljevanja Sidkije, kralja judejskoga.

35. “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, and the summit of their strength.

35. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: "Lomim, evo, luk Elamov, srž snage njegove.

36. And I will lead the four winds over Elam, from the four corners of heaven. And I will scatter them into all these winds. And there will be no nation to which the fugitives of Elam will not travel.

36. Èetiri æu vjetra dognati na Elam sa èetiri kraja neba i raspršit Elamce u sva èetiri vjetra, i neæe biti naroda kamo neæe stiæi bjegunci elamski.

37. And I will cause Elam to be terrified before their enemies and in the sight of those who seek their life. And I will lead an evil over them, the wrath of my fury, says the Lord. And I will send the sword after them, until I consume them.

37. Utjerat æu Elamcima strah u kosti pred njihovim dušmanima. Pustit æu na njih nesreæu, oganj gnjeva svojega. Poslat æu maè za njima dok ne budu sasvim uništeni.

38. And I will set my throne in Elam, and I will perish the kings and princes from there, says the Lord.

38. I postavit æu u Elamu prijesto svoj i zatrt æu ondje kralja i sve knezove" - rijeè je Jahvina.

39. But in the last days, I will cause the captives of Elam to return, says the Lord.”

39. Ali æu okrenut' udes Elama" - rijeè je Jahvina.
