Jeremija 51

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Ovako govori Jahve: »Gle, ja podižem protiv Babilona i protiv pučanstva kaldejskog vjetar zatornički.	1 Yahweh says this: Against Babylon and the inhabitants of Leb-Kamai I shal rouse a destructive wind.
2 Poslat ću na Babilon vijače da ga viju i prorešetaju zemlju njegovu. Kad ga sa svih strana opkole u kobni dan,	2 I shal send winnowers to Babylon to winnow her and leave her country bare, for she wil bebeleaguered on all sides, on the day of disaster.
3 nek’ strijelac luka ne odlaže, nek’ ne skida oklopa! Ne štedite mladića njihovih, svu mu vojsku kleto uništite!	3 Let no archer bend his bow! Let no man swagger in his breastplate!-No quarter for her young men!Curse her whole army with destruction!
4 Pobijeni će padati po zemlji kaldejskoj, probodeni po ulicama njegovim.«	4 In the country of the Chaldaeans the slaughtered wil fall, in the streets of Babylon, those run throughby the sword.
5 Ne, Izrael – Judeja – nije udovica Boga svojega, Jahve nad vojskama, iako je zemlja njihova puna krivice protiv Sveca Izraelova.	5 For Israel and Judah have not been bereft of their God, Yahweh Sabaoth, although their country wasful of sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Bježite iz Babilona, nek’ svak’ spasi život svoj, da ne izginete s njegova bezakonja, jer ovo je vrijeme Jahvine odmazde, svakom plaća po zasluzi!	6 Escape from Babylon (save your lives, each one of you); do not perish for her guilt, for now is the timefor Yahweh's vengeance: he wil pay her her reward!
7 Babilon bijaše pehar zlatni u ruci Jahvinoj, pehar koji opi svijet cijeli. Vinom tim se puci opiše, i zato se puci obezumiše.	7 Babylon was a golden cup in Yahweh's hand, she made the whole world drunk, the nations drank herwine and then went mad.
8 Iznenada pade Babilon, razmrskan: zakukajte nad njim! Potražite balzama rani njegovoj: možda će ozdravit’!	8 Babylon has suddenly fal en, is broken: wail for her! Fetch balm for her wounds, perhaps she can becured!
9 Liječili smo Babilon, al’ se ne izliječi. Pustimo ga, vratimo se svaki u svoj kraj! Jer do neba dopire njegova osuda i diže se pod oblake.	9 -'We tried to cure Babylon; she has got no better. Leave her alone and let us each go to his owncountry.' -Yes, her sentence reaches to the sky, rises to the very clouds.
10 Jahve je iznio pravdu našu! Hajde da Sionu objavimo djelo Jahve, Boga našega.	10 Yahweh has shown the uprightness of our cause. Come, let us tell in Zion what Yahweh our God hasdone.
11 Naoštrite strelice, napunite tobolce! Jahve potače duh kraljeva medijskih jer naumi zatrti Babilon, Jahvina je to osveta, osveta za Hram njegov.	11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! Yahweh has roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, becausehe has a plan against Babylon to destroy it; this is Yahweh's revenge, revenge for his Temple.
12 Razvijte stijeg, zidine babilonske! Pojačajte straže! Postavite stražare! Razmjestite zasjede! Jer Jahve što naumi to sad izvodi, kako je rekao protiv Babilona.	12 Against the wal s of Babylon raise the standard! Strengthen the guard! Post the sentries! Take upconcealed positions! For Yahweh has both planned and done what he promised he would to the inhabitants ofBabylon.
13 O, ti što prebivaš na velikim vodama i bogat blagom svakojakim! Sad ti svršetak dođe, kraj tvojoj lakomosti.	13 Enthroned beside abundant waters, rich in treasures, you now meet your end, the finish of yourpil aging.
14 Životom svojim zakle se Jahve nad vojskama: »Napunit ću te ljudstvom kao skakavcima, zaorit će protiv tebe vika bojna.«	14 By his own self Yahweh Sabaoth has sworn: I shal fil you with men as though with grasshoppers,and over you they wil raise the triumph-shout.
15 On snagom svojom stvori zemlju, mudrošću svojom uspostavi krug zemaljski i umom svojim razape nebesa.	15 By his power he made the earth, by his wisdom set the world firm, by his discernment spread out theheavens.
16 Kad mu glas zaori, huče vode na nebesima, oblake diže s kraja zemlje: stvara kiši munje, vjetar izvodi iz skrovišta njegovih.	16 When he thunders there is a roaring of waters in heaven; he raises clouds from the furthest limits ofthe earth, makes the lightning flash for the downpour, and brings the wind from his storehouse.
17 Svakom čovjeku pamet stane, svaki se zlatar zastidi svoga kipa, jer svi su mu kipovi samo varka, nema u njima duha.	17 At this everyone stands stupefied, uncomprehending, every goldsmith blushes for his idols; hiscastings are but delusion, with no breath in them.
18 Isprazni su oni, smiješne tvorevine, propast će u dan kazne.	18 They are futile, a laughable production, when the time comes for them to be punished, they wilvanish.
19 »Jakovljev dio« nije kao oni: jer on je sve stvorio, Izrael pleme je baštine njegove. Jahve nad vojskama ime je njegovo.	19 The Heritage of Jacob is not like these, for he is the maker of everything, and Israel is the tribe that ishis heritage; His name is Yahweh Sabaoth.
20 »Ti si mi bio malj, oružje ratno. Pomlatih tobom narode, razmrskah tobom kraljevstva.	20 You were my mace, a weapon of war. With you I crushed nations, struck kingdoms down,
21 Pomlatih tobom konja i konjanika, pomlatih tobom bojna kola i vozača.	21 with you crushed horse and rider, with you crushed chariot and charioteer,
22 Pomlatih tobom čovjeka i ženu, pomlatih tobom starca i dijete. Pomlatih tobom mladića i djevojku, pomlatih tobom pastira i stado.	22 with you crushed man and woman, with you crushed old man and young, with you crushed youngman and girl,
23 Pomlatih tobom ratara i zapregu njegovu, pomlatih tobom namjesnike i upravljače.	23 with you crushed shepherd and flock, with you crushed ploughman and team, with you crushedgovernors and magistrates,
24 Ali na vaše oči sada plaća Babilonu i svim Kaldejcima za sve zlo koje učiniše Sionu« – riječ je Jahvina.	24 and I shal repay Babylon and the inhabitants of Chaldaea, before your eyes, for al the wrongs theyhave done to Zion, Yahweh declares.
25 »Evo me na te, goro zatornice« – riječ je Jahvina – »zatornice svega svijeta! Zamahnut ću rukom protiv tebe, svalit ću te s litice, pretvorit ću te u goru spaljenu.	25 I am setting myself against you, mountain of destruction, Yahweh declares, destroyer of the wholeworld! I shall reach out my hand for you and send you tumbling from the crags and make you a burnt-outmountain.
26 Iz tebe više neće klesati kamen ugaoni ni kamen temeljac, bit ćeš vječna pustinja« – riječ je Jahvina.	26 No corner-stone wil be taken from you again and no foundation-stone, for you will be a desert forever, Yahweh declares.
27 Podignite stijeg u zemlji, zatrubite u rog među narodima! Pripremite na nj narode, sazovite na nj kraljevstva – Ararat, Mini, Aškenaz! Postavite protiv njega pozivnike, nek’ nasrnu konji k’o dlakavi skakavci!	27 Raise the standard throughout the world, sound the trumpet among the nations! Consecrate nationsto make war on her; summon kingdoms against her: Ararat, Minni, Ashkenaz; appoint a recruiting-officer for herenemies, bring up the cavalry, bristling like locusts.
28 Spremite na nj narode, kraljeve medijske, vojvode i namjesnike njihove i svu zemlju kojom vladaju.	28 Consecrate nations to make war on her: the kings of Media, her governors, all her magistrates andthe whole territory under their rule.
29 Zemlja će se tresti, drhtati, kad se stanu uspinjati k Babilonu svi naumi Jahvini da pretvori zemlju babilonsku u pustinju nenastanjenu.	29 Then the earth trembled and writhed, for Yahweh's plan against Babylon was being executed: tochange the country of Babylon into an unpopulated desert.
30 Nebojše babilonske odustaše od borbe, u utvrdama posjedaše, nesta sile njihove: postadoše kao žene. Spaljeni su domovi njihovi, polomljeni zasuni na vratima.	30 The warriors of Babylon have done with fighting, they have stayed inside their fortresses; theircourage exhausted, they are now like women. Her houses are on fire, her gates are shattered.
31 Teklič tekliča prestiže, glasnik juri za glasnikom, da jave kralju babilonskom da mu je grad sa svih strana zauzet,	31 Courier fol ows close on courier, messenger on messenger, to tel the king of Babylon that his city hasbeen taken from al sides,
32 prijelazi zaposjednuti, tvrđave ognjem popaljene, a ratnici prestrašeni.	32 the fords occupied, the bastions burnt down and the fighting men seized with panic.
33 Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: »Kći je babilonska kao gumno u vrijeme kad se po njem gazi; još malo, i doći će joj vrijeme žetve.«	33 For Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this: the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floorwhen it is being trodden: a little while, and then the time for harvesting her wil come.
34 Izjeo me, satro babilonski kralj, odgurnuo me kao prazan pladanj, k’o zmaj me on progutao, napunio trbušinu, iz mog me istjerao Edena.	34 He devoured me, consumed me, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, left me like an empty dish, like theDragon he has swal owed me whole, filled his belly with my titbits and threw me out.
35 »Nasilje i patnje moje na Babilon!« – govore stanovnici Siona. »Krv moja na Kaldejce!« – govori Jeruzalem.	35 'On Babylon be the wounds I suffered!' the daughter of Zion wil say. 'On the inhabitants of Chaldaeabe my blood!' Jerusalem wil say.
36 Zato ovako govori Jahve: »Gle, ja ću braniti parnicu tvoju i krvavo te osvetiti. Sasušit ću more njegovo i presahnut ću izvore njegove.	36 So, Yahweh says this: Look, I am taking up your cause to make sure you are avenged. I shal dry herriver up, make her springs run dry.
37 Babilon će biti hrpa ruševina, brlog čagljima, užas i ruglo, kraj nenastanjen.	37 Babylon wil become a heap of stones, the lair of jackals, a thing of horror and of scorn, with no oneliving in it.
38 Svi zajedno riču k’o lavovi, zavijaju kao lavići.	38 Like lions they roar together, they growl like lions' whelps.
39 Kad se ugriju, priredit ću im pijanku, napojiti ih da se provesele, da zaspe vječnim snom, da se više ne probude« – riječ je Jahvina.	39 Are they feverish? I wil prepare them a drink and make them drink until they are tipsy and fal into aneverlasting sleep, never to wake again, Yahweh declares.
40 »Odvest ću ih k’o janjce na klanje, kao jarce i ovnove.«	40 I wil drag them away to the slaughterhouse like lambs, like rams and goats.
41 »Kako li je zauzet, kako osvojen taj ponos zemlje sve? Kako li Babilon posta strašilo narodima?	41 What! Has Sheshak been taken, been conquered, the pride of the whole world? What a thing of horrorBabylon has become throughout the nations!
42 Uzdiglo se more protiv Babilona, prekrilo ga valovlje njegovo.	42 The sea has risen over Babylon, she sinks beneath its boisterous waves.
43 Gradovi mu pustoš postali, zemlja suha, pustara: čovjek u njoj ne stanuje, niti njom prolazi sin čovječji.«	43 Her towns have been turned into wasteland, a parched land, a desert, a country where no one livesand where nobody goes.
44 »Kaznit ću Bela babilonskog, iz ralja mu otet’ što je progutao. Neće više k njemu hrliti narodi, srušit će se babilonske zidine.	44 I shal punish Bel in Babylon and make him disgorge what he has swal owed. In future the nations wilstream to him no more. The very walls of Babylon wil fal .
45 Izađi iz njega, narode moj! Nek’ svaki spasi život svoj od jarosnoga gnjeva Jahvina!	45 Get out of her, my people; save your lives, each one of you, from Yahweh's furious anger.
46 Neka vam srce ne klone! Ne bojte se glasâ što se zemljom šire, jedne godine ovakvi, druge onakvi, i što u zemlji vlada nasilje, te silnik za silnikom ustaje.	46 But do not be faint-hearted! Do not take fright at rumours hawked round the country: one rumourspreads one year, next year another fol ows; violence rules on earth and one tyrant succeeds another.
47 Jer evo dolaze dani kada ću kazniti kipove babilonske, i sva će mu se zemlja postidjeti, i svi će mu pobijeni ležat’ posred grada.	47 So look, the days are coming when I shal punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire country wil behumbled, with all her slaughtered lying on home-soil.
48 Tada će nad Babilonom klicati nebo i zemlja i sve što je na njima, jer će sa sjevera navaliti na grad, zatornici njegovi« – riječ je Jahvina!	48 The heaven and earth and all within them wil shout for joy over Babylon, for the destroyers from thenorth are coming to her, Yahweh declares.
49 »I Babilon mora pasti za pobijene Izraelce, kao što su za Babilon padali pobijeni po svem svijetu.	49 Babylon in her turn must fal , you slaughtered ones of Israel, just as through Babylon there fel menslaughtered al over the world.
50 Vi što umakoste maču, idite, ne ostajte ovdje. Spominjite se Jahve u zemlji dalekoj, i neka vam Jeruzalem bude na srcu:	50 You who have escaped her sword, leave her, do not wait! Remember Yahweh from afar, letJerusalem come into your mind.
51 ‘Stidjeli smo se slušajuć’ sramotu, rumenilo nam prekrilo lice kad ono tuđinci nahrupiše u svetište doma Jahvina.’	51 -'We were ashamed when we heard of the outrage, we were covered in confusion because foreignershad entered the Temple of Yahweh's holy places.'
52 Zato, evo, dolaze dani« – riječ je Jahvina – »kad ću kazniti kipove njegove i po svoj će mu zemlji stenjat’ ranjenici.	52 -So look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when I shall punish her idols, and the wounded willgroan throughout her country.
53 Da se Babilon popne do neba, da se utvrdi na visu nedostupnu, na moju će zapovijed na nj navalit’ pustošnici« – riječ je Jahvina.	53 Were Babylon to scale the heavens or reinforce her towering citadel, destroyers would stil come to her on my orders, Yahweh declares.
54 Čujte vapaj iz Babilona, i strašan poraz iz zemlje kaldejske!	54 The din of shouting from Babylon, of immense destruction, from the country of the Chaldaeans!
55 Jer sâm Jahve pustoši Babilon, on stišava strašnu buku njegovu: bučili su vali njegovi k’o vode velike, razlijegala se huka njihova.	55 Yes, Yahweh is laying Babylon waste and silencing her monstrous din, whose waves used to roar likethe ocean and their tumultuous voices rang out.
56 Jest, pustošnik dođe na Babilon, uhvaćeni su ratnici njegovi, lukovi im polomljeni. Zaista, Jahve je Bog osvetnik koji plaća po zasluzi!	56 For the destroyer has fal en on Babylon, her warriors are captured, their bows are broken. Yes,Yahweh is a God of retribution, he never fails to repay.
57 »Opojit ću mu knezove i mudrace, vojvode, namjesnike i ratnike: da zaspe vječnim snom pa se više ne probude« – govori Kralj, ime mu je Jahve nad vojskama.	57 I shal make her princes and her sages drink, her governors, her magistrates, her warriors; they wilfal into an everlasting sleep, never to wake again, declares the King, whose name is Yahweh Sabaoth.
58 Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama: »Široke zidine babilonske bit će do temelja razvaljene, a visoka trava njegova bit će ognjem spaljena. Narodi se zalud trudili, puci se za oganj mučili!«	58 Yahweh Sabaoth says this: The wal s of Babylon the Great wil be rased to the ground, and her loftygates wil be burnt down. Thus peoples toil for nothing and nations wear themselves out, for the flames.
59 Evo zapovijedi što je prorok Jeremija dade Seraji, sinu Mahsejina sina Nerije, kad je Seraja krenuo u Babilon sa Sidkijom, kraljem judejskim, četvrte godine njegova vladanja. Seraja bijaše veliki komornik.	59 This is the order that the prophet Jeremiah gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah whenSeraiah left for Babylon with Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year of his reign. Seraiah was lordchamberlain.
60 Jeremija je u jednu knjigu bio zapisao svu nesreću koja je morala doći na Babilon – sva ona proroštva napisana protiv Babilona.	60 Now, on one sheet, Jeremiah had written down the entire disaster that was to befal Babylon, that is,al these words recorded here against Babylon.
61 Jeremija reče Seraji: »Kad dođeš u Babilon, išti prigodu da obznaniš sve ove riječi.	61 Jeremiah then said to Seraiah, 'When you reach Babylon, see to it that you read al these wordsaloud.
62 I reci: ‘Jahve, ti sam reče da ćeš zatrti ovo mjesto te u njemu ničega više neće biti, ni čovjeka ni živinčeta, nego će postati vječna pustinja.’	62 Then say, "You, Yahweh, have promised to destroy this place, so that no one will live here ever again,neither human nor animal, and it wil be desolate for ever."
63 Kad pročitaš ovu knjigu, zaveži je za kamen i baci u Eufrat.	63 Then, when you have finished reading this sheet, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of theEuphrates,
64 I reci: ‘Ovako će potonuti Babilon i neće se više podići iz nesreće koju ću na nj svaliti.’« To su riječi Jeremijine.	64 with the words, "So shal Babylon sink, never to rise again from the disaster which I am going to bringon her." ' Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
