¹The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

¹Proroštvo o Dolini viđenja: Što ti je da uzlaziš sav na krovove,

²You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

²grade pun vreve, grade bučni, grade razigrani? Pobijeni tvoji ne padoše od mača, nit' u boju poginuše mrtvi tvoji;

³All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.

³glavari svi ti zajedno pobjegoše, u ropstvo padoše luka ne napevši. Zasužnjeni su svi tvoji knezovi, zalud umakoše daleko.

⁴Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴Zato velim: "Ostavite me, zaplakat ću gorko; nemojte me tješiti zbog uništenja naroda moga."

⁵For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”

⁵Jer ovo je dan pometnje i rasula od Jahve, Gospoda nad Vojskama. U Dolini viđenja zid se ruši, vapaj za pomoć diže se u goru.

⁶Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

⁶Elam tobolac uzima, Aram konja jaše, a Kir štit otkriva.

⁷It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

⁷Krasne doline tvoje pune su bojnih kola, konjanici stižu pred vrata.

⁸He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

⁸Tako pada Judi zaštita. U onaj dan svrnuo si pogled na oružje u Šumskoj kući.

⁹You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

⁹Vidjeste da u gradu Davidovu ima mnogo pukotina. Sabraste vodu iz Donjega ribnjaka.

¹⁰You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

¹⁰Prebrojiste kuće jeruzalemske, porušiste kuće da zid učvrstite.

¹¹You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.

¹¹Između dva zida načiniste spremište za vodu iz starog ribnjaka. Ali se ne obazreste na Tvorca, nit' vidjeste onog što davno sve smisli.

¹²In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:

¹²Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, pozivaše vas u dan onaj da plačete i tugujete, da obrijete glave i pripašete kostrijet.

¹³and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”

¹³A gle: radost i veselje, ubijaju goveda i kolju ovce; jedu meso i piju vino: "Jedimo i pijmo, jer sutra nam je mrijeti."

¹⁴Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁴Ali Jahve nad Vojskama objavi mi: "Dok ne umrete, grijeh taj neće vam se oprostiti", reče Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama.

¹⁵Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

¹⁵Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama: "Hajde, idi k onom dvorjaninu, k Šibni, nadstojniku dvora,

¹⁶‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

¹⁶koji kleše sebi grob na uzvisini i u stijeni sebi prebivalište usijeca: 'Što tu posjeduješ i koga tu imaš da sebi klešeš grobnicu?'

¹⁷Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

¹⁷Gle, Jahve će te baciti daleko udarcem jednim jedinim, snažno će te uhvatiti,

¹⁸He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.

¹⁸smotat će te u klupko, kao loptu te baciti po zemlji širokoj! Ondje ti ćeš umrijeti, s kolima što ti bijahu na slavu, ti, sramoto dvoru svoga gospodara!"

¹⁹I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

¹⁹Lišit ću te tvoje službe, otjerat te sa tvog mjesta;

²⁰It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

²⁰i pozvat ću svoga slugu Elijakima, sina Hilkijina.

²¹and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

²¹Obući ću mu tvoju haljinu, tvojim ću ga pojasom opasat', tvoju ću mu vlast predati u ruke te će biti otac žiteljima jeruzalemskim i kući Judinoj.

²²I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.

²²Metnut ću mu na pleća ključ od kuće Davidove: kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti, kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti.

²³I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.

²³Kao klin zabit ću ga na tvrdu mjestu; i postat će prijesto slave domu oca svojega.

²⁴They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.

²⁴O njega će se vješati sva slava njegova doma očinskog, izdanci i potomstvo, sve malo posuđe, od zdjelica do ćupova.

²⁵“In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”

²⁵U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - izvući će se klin zabijen na tvrdu mjestu, slomit će se i pasti. I sav teret što je visio na njemu razbit će se, jer je Jahve govorio.
