Joel, 1

1. The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.

1. Rijeè Jahvina koja doðe Joelu, sinu Petuelovu.

2. Listen to this, elders, and pay close attention, all inhabitants of the land. Did this ever happen in your days or in the days of your fathers?

2. Èujte ovo, starci, poèujte, svi žitelji zemlje! Je li ovakvo što ikad bilo u vaše dane il' u dane vaših otaca?

3. Talk this over with your sons, and your sons with their sons, and their sons with another generation.

3. Recite ovo svojim sinovima, vaši sinovi svojim sinovima, a njihovi sinovi potonjem koljenu.

4. The locust has eaten what the caterpillar has left, and the beetle has eaten what the locust has left, and the mildew has eaten what the beetle has left.

4. Što ostavi šaška, proždrije skakavac, što ostavi skakavac, proždrije gusjenica, što ostavi gusjenica, proždrije ljupilac.

5. Rouse yourselves, you drunkards, and weep and wail, all you who delight in drinking wine; for it has been cut off from your mouth.

5. Probudite se, pijanice, i plaèite! Sve vinopije, tužite za novim vinom: iz usta vam je oteto.

6. For a nation has ascended over my land: strong and without number. His teeth are like the teeth of a lion, and his molars are like that of a lion’s young.

6. Jer prekri moju zemlju narod moæan i bezbrojan; zubi su mu kao zubi lavlji, oènjaci mu kao u lavice.

7. He has put my vineyard into desolation, and he has pulled off the bark of my fig tree. He has stripped it bare and cast it away; its branches have become white.

7. Opustoši mi lozu vinovu i polomi smokve moje; oguli ih i razbaca, grane su im pobijeljele.

8. Lament like a betrothed virgin, wrapped in sackcloth at the loss of the husband of her youth.

8. Plaèite k'o djevica odjevena u kostrijet za zaruènikom svojim.

9. Sacrifice and libation have perished from the house of the Lord; the priests who are ministers of the Lord have mourned.

9. Nestade prinosnice i ljevanice iz Doma Jahvina. Tuže sveæenici, sluge Jahvine.

10. The region has been depopulated, the soil has mourned. For the wheat has been devastated, the wine has been disfigured, the oil has languished.

10. Opustošeno polje, zemlja poharana. Poharano žito, vino propade, presahnu ulje.

11. The farmers have been confounded, the vineyard workers have wailed over the crop and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.

11. Tugujte, težaci, kukajte, vinogradari, za pšenicom i za jeèmom, jer propade žetva poljska.

12. The vineyard is in ruin, and the fig tree has languished. The pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the fruit tree, and all the trees of the field have withered. For joy has been thrown into disorder before the sons of men.

12. Loza usahnu, uvenu smokva, mogranj, palma i jabuka: svako se drvo poljsko sasuši. Da, nestade radosti izmeðu sinova ljudskih.

13. Priests, gird yourselves and lament. Ministers of the altars, wail. Enter, ministers of my God, lie in sackcloth. For sacrifice and libation have passed away from the house of your God.

13. Sveæenici, opašite kostrijet i tužite! Službenici žrtvenika, narièite! Doðite, prenoæite u kostrijeti, službenici Boga mojeg! Jer iz Doma Boga našeg nesta prinosnice i ljevanice!

14. Sanctify a fast, call an assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God. And cry out to the Lord:

14. Naredite sveti post, proglasite zbor sveèani; starješine, saberite sve stanovnike zemlje u kuæu Jahve, Boga svojeg. Zavapijte Jahvi:

15. “Ah, ah, ah, the day!” For the day of the Lord is near, and it will arrive, like a devastation, before the powerful.

15. "Jao dana!" Jer Jahvin dan je blizu i dolazi k'o pohara od Svevišnjeg.

16. Has not your nourishment perished from before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

16. Ne išèeznu li hrana pred našim oèima? Nije li nestalo radosti i sreæe iz Doma Boga našega?

17. The mules have rotted in their own manure, the barns have been demolished, the wine cellars have been destroyed, because the grain has been ruined.

17. Istrunu zrnje pod grudama; puste su žitnice, porušene spreme jer žita nesta.

18. Why have the animals groaned, the herds of cattle bellowed? because there is no pasture for them. Yes, and even the flocks of sheep have been lost.

18. Kako li stoka uzdiše! Krda goveda podivljala lutaju jer im nema paše. Èak i stada ovaca kaznu podnose.

19. To you, O Lord, I will cry out, because fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the countryside.

19. Tebi, Jahve, vapijem: oganj popali pašnjake pustinjske, plamen sažga sva stabla poljska.

20. Yes, and even the beasts of the field have gazed up at you, like the dry ground thirsting for rain, because the fountains of waters have dried up, and fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness.

20. Èak i zvijeri èeznu za tobom, jer presušiše potoci, oganj popali pašnjake pustinjske.

Lábjegyzetek:

1:1-3 - The prophet Joel begins his book with an urgent call for the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to heed God's message. The destruction caused by the locust plague is used as a symbol of divine judgment, highlighting the gravity of sin and the need for repentance (see also Amos 4:6-8 and Jeremiah 2:19).

1:4-7 - The locust plague is described as a total devastation, affecting the land and its crops. This judgment from God serves as a warning to the people of Israel about the consequences of turning away from God and failing to repent (see also Exodus 10:12-15 and Revelation 9:3-6).

1:8-12 - Joel's lament over the devastation of the crops and the famine reflects the impact of divine judgment on everyday life. The land is in mourning, and God's abundance has been replaced by famine due to the people's sin (see also Deuteronomy 28:38-40 and Lamentations 5:10-11).

1:13-14 - The call to fasting and prayer by priests and spiritual leaders is a summons to seek God's mercy in the midst of disaster. This time of crisis is an opportunity for spiritual reflection and repentance (see also 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Isaiah 58:6-7).

1:15-20 - Joel warns of the "day of the Lord," a day of impending judgment and great calamity. The people's lament is heightened by the loss of resources and the pain of affliction, but it is also a call to reflect on their behavior before God (see also Isaiah 13:6-9 and Zephaniah 1:14-18).
