Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles,
Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji proroku za narode:
2 about Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, which was beside the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, struck down, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah:
Za Misirce, za vojsku Faraona Nehaona cara Misirskoga, koja bijaše na reci Efratu kod Harkemisa, i razbi je Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski èetvrte godine Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina.
3 “‘Prepare the heavy and the light shield, and advance to war!
Pripravite štite i štitiæe, i idite u boj;
4 Harness the horses, and let the horsemen climb upon them! Stand forth with helmets! Sharpen the lances! Clothe yourselves in armor!’
Prežite konje, i pojašite, konjici; postavite se sa šljemovima; utrite koplja, oblaèite se u oklope.
5 And what is next? I have seen them terrified, and turning their backs, their strong ones cut down. They have fled in disorder and have not looked back. Terror on every side, says the Lord.
Zašto ih vidim gdje se poplašiše, vraæaju se natrag, junaci njihovi polomiše se i bježe bez obzira? Strah je otsvuda, govori Gospod.
6 Let not the swift take flight; let not the strong ones think to save themselves. They have been conquered and ruined, toward the north, near the river Euphrates.
Da ne uteèe laki, niti se izbavi jaki; da se na sjeveru na brijegu rijeke Efrata spotaknu i padnu.
7 Who is this, who ascends like a flood, and whose streams swell up, like those of the rivers?
Ko je to što se diže kao potok, i vode mu se kolebaju kao rijeke?
8 Egypt ascends in the form of a river, and its waves will be moved like those of a river. And he will say: ‘I will ascend and cover the earth! I will perish the city and its inhabitants!’
Misir se diže kao potok i njegove se vode kolebaju kao rijeke; i veli: idem, pokriæu zemlju, zatræu grad i one koji žive u njemu.
9 Mount the horses, and exult upon chariots, and let the strong ones advance: the Ethiopians, and the Libyans, who hold the heavy shield, and the Lydians, who grasp and shoot arrows.
Izlazite, konji, bjesnite, kola; i neka izaðu junaci, Husi i Fudi, koji nose štitove, i Ludeji, koji nose i natežu luk.
10 For this is the day of the Lord, the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, so that he may vindicate himself of his enemies. The sword will devour, and be satiated, and be inebriated with their blood. For there is a victim of the Lord, the God of hosts, in the land of the north, beside the river Euphrates.
Jer je ovaj dan Gospodu Gospodu nad vojskama dan osvete, da se osveti neprijateljima svojim; maè æe ih proždrijeti i nasitiæe se i opiæe se krvlju njihovom; jer æe biti žrtva Gospoda Gospoda nad vojskama u zemlji sjevernoj na rijeci Efratu.
11 Ascend to Gilead, and take its balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt! It is in vain that you multiply medicines; there will be no health for you!
Izidi u Galad i uzmi balsama, djevojko kæeri Misirska; zaludu su ti mnogi lijekovi, neæeš se izlijeèiti.
12 The nations have heard of your disgrace, and your wailing has filled the earth. For the strong have stumbled against the strong, and both have fallen together.”
Narodi èuše sramotu tvoju, i vike tvoje puna je zemlja, jer se spotièu junak o junaka, te obojica padaju.
13 The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning how Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, would arrive and strike the land of Egypt:
Rijeè koju reèe Gospod Jeremiji proroku o dolasku Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga da potre zemlju Misirsku:
14 “Announce it to Egypt, and make it heard in Migdol, and let it resonate in Memphis and in Tahpanhes. Say this: Stand and prepare yourself! For the sword will devour everything around you.
Javite u Misiru, i oglasite u Migdolu, oglasite i u Nofu i u Tafnesu, i recite: stani i pripravi se, jer maè proždrije što je oko tebe.
15 Why have your strong ones decayed? They have not stood firm, because the Lord has overthrown them.
Zašto se povaljaše junaci tvoji? Ne stoje, jer ih Gospod obara.
16 He has multiplied those in ruin, and each man has fallen beside his neighbor. And they will say: ‘Rise up, and let us return to our own people and to the land of our nativity, away from the face of the sword of the dove.
Èini, te se mnogi spotièu i padaju jedan na drugoga, i govore: ustani da se vratimo k narodu svojemu i na postojbinu svoju ispred maèa nasilnikova.
17 Call the name of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt: ‘Time has brought tumult.’
Vièu ondje: Faraon car Misirski propade, proðe mu rok.
18 As I live, says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, just as Tabor is among the mountains, and just as Carmel is beside the sea, so will he come.
Tako da sam ja živ, govori car, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama; kao Tavor meðu gorama i kao Karmil na moru doæi æe.
19 Equip yourself for the transmigration, O daughter who inhabits Egypt. For Memphis will be in desolation, and it will be deserted and uninhabited.
Spremi što ti treba da se seliš, stanovnice, kæeri Misirska; jer æe Nof opustjeti i spaliæe se da neæe niko živjeti u njemu.
20 Egypt is like a stately and finely-formed calf. The one who will goad her will come from the north.
Misir je lijepa junica; ali pogibao ide, ide sa sjevera.
21 Her hired hands also, who move within her midst, like fatted calves have been turned back, and they have fled at the same time, and they are not able to stand firm. For the day of their passing away has overwhelmed them; it is the time of their visitation.
I najamnici su njegovi usred njega kao teoci ugojeni, ali se i oni obrnuše i pobjegoše, ne ostaše, jer doðe na njih dan nesreæe njihove, vrijeme pohoðenja njihova.
22 Her voice will sound out like brass. For they will rush forward with an army, and with axes they will come against her, like those who chop wood.
Glas æe njihov iæi kao zmijinji, jer oni idu s vojskom i doæi æe sa sjekirama na nj kao oni koji sijeku drva.
23 They have cut down her forest, says the Lord, which was not able to be counted. They have been multiplied more than locusts, and they are without number.
I oni æe posjeæi šumu njegovu, govori Gospod, ako joj i nema mjere, jer ih je više nego skakavaca i nema im broja.
24 The daughter of Egypt has been confounded, and she has been delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Posrami se kæi Misirska, predana je u ruke narodu sjevernom.
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: Behold, I will visit against the tumult of Alexandria, and against Pharaoh, and against Egypt, and against her gods, and against her kings, and against Pharaoh, and against those who trust in him.
Govori Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pohoditi ljudstvo u Noji, i Faraona i Misir i bogove njegove i careve njegove, Faraona i sve koji se uzdaju u nj.
26 And I will give them over to the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. And after this, it shall be inhabited, just as in the former days, says the Lord.
I daæu ih u ruke onima koji traže dušu njihovu, u ruke Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom i u ruke slugama njegovijem; a poslije æe biti naseljen kao prije, govori Gospod.
27 And as for you, my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, and you should not dread, O Israel. For behold, I will bring your salvation from afar, and your offspring from the land of your captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he will prosper. And there will be no one who may terrify him.
A ti se ne boj, slugo moj Jakove, i ne plaši se, Izrailju, jer evo ja æu te izbaviti iz daljne zemlje i sjeme tvoje iz zemlje ropstva njegova; i Jakov æe se vratiti i poèivaæe, i biæe miran i niko ga neæe plašiti.
28 And as for you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid, says the Lord. For I am with you. For I will consume all the nations to which I have cast you out. Yet truly, I will not consume you. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, but neither will I spare you, as if you were innocent.”
Ti se ne boj, slugo moj Jakove, govori Gospod, jer sam ja s tobom; jer æu uèiniti kraj svijem narodima, u koje te prognah, ali tebi neæu uèiniti kraja, nego æu te pokarati s mjerom, a neæu te ostaviti sasvijem bez kara.
