¹O Moabu. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: "Jao brdu Nebu jer je opustošeno, postiđen je Kirjatajim i osvojen, tvrđa posramljena, razorena,

¹Concerning Moab. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kirjathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.

²nema više dike moapske. U Hešbonu mu propast skovaše: 'Hajde da ga istrijebimo iz naroda!' A ti, Madmene, bit ćeš razoren, mač već ide za tobom!

²Moab's praise is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from [being] a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be cut down; the sword shall pursue thee.

³Slušaj! Jauci se čuju iz Horonajima: 'Pohara, propast strašna!'

³A voice of crying from Horonaim; wasting and great destruction!

⁴'Moab je smlavljen!' čuje se vrištanje mališa njegovih.

⁴Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

⁵Da, uz brdo Luhit uspinju se plačući. Da, niz obronke Horonajima razliježe se jauk nad propašću.

⁵For by the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim is heard the anguish of the cry of destruction.

⁶'Bježite, spasavajte život, ugledajte se u pustinjsku magarad!'

⁶Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness.

⁷Jer si se pouzdao u svoje utvrde, bit ćeš i ti osvojen. Kemoš odlazi u izgnanstvo sa svećenicima i knezovima svojim.

⁷For because thou hast confided in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

⁸Pustošnik će doći u svaki grad, nijedan mu neće izmaći: Dolina će biti poharana, Visoravan opustošena," govori Jahve!

⁸And the waster shall come upon every city, that not a city shall escape; and the valley shall perish, and the plateau shall be destroyed: as Jehovah hath said.

⁹Stavite Moabu nadgrobni kamen, jer je do temelja srušen; njegovi su gradovi pustare, u njima nitko ne obitava.

⁹Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; and the cities thereof shall become a desolation, without inhabitant.

¹⁰Proklet bio tko nemarno obavlja poslove Jahvine! Proklet bio tko krvlju mač svoj ne omasti!

¹⁰Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood!

¹¹Od mladosti svoje mir uživaše Moab, ležaše na droždini svojoj, nikad ga nisu pretakali iz bačve u bačvu, nikad u izgnanstvo išao nije: zato mu okus ostade svjež, miris nepromijenjen.

¹¹Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and hath settled on his lees; he hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

¹²"Ali, evo, dolaze dani" - govori Jahve - "i ja ću mu poslati tlačitelje koji će ga pretakati, isprazniti njegove bačve i sudove njegove porazbijati.

¹²Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will send unto him pourers that shall pour him off, and shall empty his vessels, and break in pieces his flagons.

¹³I tada će se Moab postidjeti zbog Kemoša, kao što se dom Izraelov postidio zbog Betela u koji se uzdao."

¹³And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.

¹⁴Kako možete reći: "Mi smo junaci, hrabri ratnici."

¹⁴How do ye say, We are mighty, and men of valour for the war?

¹⁵Pustošnik Moabov navaljuje na nj; cvijet mladosti njegove u klanice silazi, riječ je Kraljeva, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.

¹⁵Moab is laid waste, and his cities are gone up [in smoke], and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.

¹⁶Bliži se propast Moabova, nesreća njegova hiti.

¹⁶The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

¹⁷Žalite ga, svi susjedi njegovi, i svi koji znate ime njegovo. Recite: "Kako li se slomi čvrsta palica, žezlo veličanstveno!"

¹⁷All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!

¹⁸Siđi sa slave svoje, sjedni u blato, žitelju, kćeri dibonska! Jer pustošnik Moaba navali na te, poruši sve utvrde tvoje.

¹⁸Come down from [thy] glory and sit in the drought, O inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, thy strongholds hath he destroyed.

¹⁹Stani na cestu i promatraj, o žitelju Aroera! Pitaj bjegunce i preživjele, pitaj ih: "Što se to dogodi?"

¹⁹Stand by the way, and watch, inhabitress of Aroer; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What is done?

²⁰"Moab se stidi jer je slomljen. Plačite, jecajte! Objavite na Arnonu da je Moab poharan."

²⁰Moab is put to shame; for he is broken down: howl and cry; tell it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

²¹Sud stiže nad Visoravan i nad Holon, Jahsu i Mefaot,

²¹And judgment is come upon the country of the plateau; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;

²²nad Dibon, Nebo, Bet Diblatajim,

²²and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;

²³Kirjatajim, Bet Gamul, Bet Meon,

²³and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;

²⁴Kerijot, Bosru i nad sve gradove zemlje moapske, daleke i blize.

²⁴and upon Kerijoth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.

²⁵"Moabu je rog odbijen, ruka mu je slomljena."

²⁵The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith Jehovah.

²⁶"Opijte ga jer se htjede uzvisiti nad Jahvu: neka se Moab sada valja u bljuvotini svojoj te i on neka bude na podsmijeh.

²⁶Make him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

²⁷Nije li tebi bio Izrael na podsmijeh? Jesu li ga možda zatekli u krađi te mašeš glavom kad god o njemu govoriš?"

²⁷For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves, that as oft as thou didst speak of him, thou didst shake the head?

²⁸"Ostavite gradove, živite u pećinama, stanovnici Moaba! Budite kao golubovi što se gnijezde na litici onkraj razjapljena bezdana!"

²⁸Leave the cities, and dwell in the rocks, ye inhabitants of Moab, and be like the dove, that maketh her nest in the sides of the cave's mouth.

²⁹Čuli smo za nadutost Moaba, nadutost preveliku, ponos njegov, hvastanje, uznositost, za oholost srca njegova!

²⁹We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, -- [he is] very proud; -- his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

³⁰"Poznajem ja obijest njegovu - riječ je Jahvina - laž njegovih riječi, laž djela njegovih!

³⁰I know his wrath, saith Jehovah; his pratings are vain: they do not as [they say].

³¹Zato moram jaukati nad Moabom, plakati nad svim Moapcima, jecati zbog ljudi Kir Heresa.

³¹Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall there be moaning.

³²Više nego nad Jazerom, plakat ću nad tobom, o lozje sibmansko, kojem se mladice pružahu preko mora, sezahu sve do Jazera. Na tvoje berbe i žetve pade sada pustošnik.

³²O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with more than the weeping of Jaazer: thy shoots passed over the sea, they reached to the sea of Jaazer. The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

³³Iščeznu radost i veselje iz voćnjaka i zemlje moapske. Nesta vina u kacama, mastioci više grožđa ne maste, veseli zvuci više nisu veseli."

³³And joy and gladness is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: they shall no more tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

³⁴Urlanje Hešbona i Elalea čuje se sve do Jahasa. Viču od Soara do Horonajima i Eglat Šelišije, jer se i vode nimrimske pretvoriše u pustaru.

³⁴Because of the cry from Heshbon, unto Elaleh, unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar unto Horonaim, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah: for even the waters of Nimrim shall become desolations.

³⁵"U Moabu ću učiniti - riječ je Jahvina - da se ne uzlazi na uzvišice i kadi bogovima njegovim.

³⁵And I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.

³⁶Stoga mi srce poput frule dršće za Moabom, srce moje poput frule dršće za ljudima Kir Heresa: jer propade stečevina koju stekoše!

³⁶Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres; because the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.

³⁷Sve su glave obrijane i brade podrezane; po svim rukama urezi, oko bokova kostrijet.

³⁷For every head is bald, and every beard clipped; upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

³⁸Na svim krovovima Moaba i na njegovim trgovima samo zapomaganje, jer smrskah Moab kao krčag koji se nikomu ne mili" - riječ je Jahvina.

³⁸It is wholly lamentation upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the public places thereof; for I have broken Moab, like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith Jehovah.

³⁹Kako li je smrskan! Kako li sramotno Moab udari u bijeg! Moab postade ruglo i strašilo svim susjedima.

³⁹They howl, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! And Moab shall be a derision and a terror to all that are round about him.

⁴⁰Jer ovako govori Jahve: "Gle, poput orla lebdi, nad Moabom širi krila.

⁴⁰For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread forth his wings over Moab.

⁴¹Gradovi su zauzeti, osvojene tvrđave. Srce moapskih junaka bit će toga dana kao srce žene u trudovima.

⁴¹Kerijoth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

⁴²Izbrisan je Moab iz naroda jer se uzvisi nad Jahvu.

⁴²And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah.

⁴³Strava, jama i zamka tebi, žitelju Moaba! - riječ je Jahvina.

⁴³Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.

⁴⁴Tko stravi umakne, u jamu će pasti; tko se iz jame izvuče, u zemlju će pasti. Da, to ću svaliti na Moab u danima kazne njegove" - riječ je Jahvina.

⁴⁴He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.

⁴⁵"U sjeni se hešbonskoj ustavljaju iscrpljeni bjegunci. Al' vatra izlazi iz Hešbona, plamen liže iz dvora sihonskog i proždire sljepoočnice Moabu i tjeme sinova nemirničkih.

⁴⁵They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult.

⁴⁶Jao tebi, Moabe! Umišljen si, narode Kemošev! Jer sinove tvoje u izgnanstvo odvedoše, kćeri tvoje u progonstvo.

⁴⁶Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives.

⁴⁷Ali ću promijeniti udes Moabov u budućnosti" - riječ je Jahvina. Dovde suđenje Moabu.

⁴⁷But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
