¹Gle, Jahve razvaljuje zemlju, razara je, nakazi joj lice, raspršuje stanovnike njene.

¹Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.

²Svećenik će biti k'o i narod, gospodar k'o i sluga, gospodarica k'o i sluškinja, prodavač k'o i kupac, zajmodavac k'o i zajmoprimac, vjerovnik k'o i dužnik.

²And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.

³Opustošena će biti zemlja, opljačkana sasvim, jer je Jahve odlučio.

³The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.

⁴Zemlja tuži, vene, svijet gine, gasne, nebo sa zemljom propada.

⁴The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.

⁵Oskvrnjena je zemlja pod žiteljima svojim, jer prestupiše Zakon, pogaziše odredbu, Savez vječni razvrgoše.

⁵And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.

⁶Zato prokletstvo proždire zemlju, okajavaju stanovnici njeni. Zato su sažgani žitelji zemljini i malo je ljudi preostalo.

⁶Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.

⁷Vino tuguje, loza vene, uzdišu svi što bijahu srca vesela.

⁷The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;

⁸Prestalo je veselje uz bubnje, zamrla je graja razigrana; umukla je glazba citara.

⁸the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

⁹Ne pije se više vino uz pjesmu, ogrknu piće silovito.

⁹They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.

¹⁰Razoren je grad ništavila, zatvoren ulaz svim kućama.

¹⁰The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.

¹¹Jauk po ulicama zbog vina, nesta svakog veselja, radost je iz zemlje prognana.

¹¹There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;

¹²Tek pustoš ostade u gradu, u trijeske smrskana su vrata.

¹²desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, -- a ruin.

¹³Jer tako se zbiva na zemlji, među narodima, kao kad se oberu masline il' paljetkuje grožđe nakon berbe.

¹³For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.

¹⁴Oni glas podižu, kliču od radosti; uznose s mora veličajnost Jahvinu.

¹⁴These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

¹⁵I na istoku ime Jahve slave oni, na otocima mora ime Jahve, Boga Izraelova.

¹⁵Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.

¹⁶S kraja zemlje čujemo pjesme: "Slava Pravedniku!" Ali ja kažem: "Propadoh! Propadoh! Jao meni! Vjerolomci se iznevjeriše, nevjerom se, vjerolomci, iznevjeriše."

¹⁶From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

¹⁷Strava, jama, zamka tebi, žitelju zemlje:

¹⁷Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.

¹⁸tko pred glasom strave uteče u jamu će upasti; tko se iz jame izvuče zamka će ga uhvatit'. Da, otvorit će se ustave u visini i zatresti zemlji temelji.

¹⁸And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.

¹⁹Zemlja će se grozno razbiti, zemlja će se strašno raspući, zemlja će se silno uzdrmati,

¹⁹The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.

²⁰zemlja će zateturati poput pijanca, zanjihat se poput kolibe; toliko će joj otežati bezakonje njeno da će pasti i neće više ustati.

²⁰The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.

²¹I dogodit će se u onaj dan: Jahve će kazniti u visini Vojsku nebesku, a na zemlji sve kraljeve zemaljske;

²¹And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

²²bit će sakupljeni i zasužnjeni u jami, zatvoreni u tamnicu i nakon mnogih dana kažnjeni.

²²And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

²³Pocrvenjet će mjesec, postidjet se sunce, jer će kraljevati Jahve nad Vojskama na gori Sionu i u Jeruzalemu i Slava će mu sjati pred starješinama.

²³And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
