Jeremiah 46
1 The wordes of the Lord, which came to Ieremiah the Prophet against the Gentiles,
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji protiv naroda.
2 As against Egypt, against ye armie of Pharaoh Necho King of Egypt, which was by the riuer Perath in Carchemish, which Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel smote in the fourth yere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah.
Još o Egiptu. Protiv vojske faraona Neka, kralja egipatskoga, što bijaše kod rijeke Eufrata, u Karkemišu, i kralj Nabukodonozor ga potuče, četvrte godine Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga.
3 Make readie buckler and shielde, and goe forth to battell.
Pripremite štitove i oklope! Naprijed, u boj!
4 Make readie the horses, and let the horsemen get vp, and stande vp with your sallets, fourbish the speares, and put on the brigandines.
Upregnite konje! Na kola, vozači! Postavite se pod kacigama! Naperite koplja! Navucite oklope!
5 Wherefore haue I seene them afraid, and driuen backe? for their mighty men are smitten, and are fled away, and looke not backe: for feare was rounde about, sayeth the Lord.
Što vidim? Zaprepašteni, uzmiču? Junaci njihovi, poraženi, u bijeg udariše glavom bez obzira! Užas odasvud - riječ je Jahvina.
6 The swift shall not flee away, nor the strong man escape: they shall stumble, and fall towarde the North by the riuer Perath.
Ni najbrži ne umače, ni najhrabriji ne uteče! Na sjeveru, na obali Eufrata, posrću i padaju.
7 Who is this, that commeth vp, as a flood, whose waters are mooued like the riuers?
Tko se to diže poput Nila, čije vode šume, k'o brzaci nabujaše?
8 Egypt riseth vp like the flood, and his waters are mooued like the riuers, and he sayth, I wil goe vp, and will couer the earth: I wil destroy the citie with them that dwell therein.
To Egipat se diže poput Nila, k'o brzaci vode mu nabujaše. I govori: dići ću se, poplaviti zemlju, opustošiti gradove i pučanstvo!
9 Come vp, ye horses, and rage ye charets, and let the valiant men come foorth, the blacke Mores, and the Lybians that beare the shield, and the Lydians that handle and bend the bowe.
Konji, naprijed! Poletite, kola bojna! Navalite, ratnici! Kušiti, Putijci, štitom zaštićeni, i Ludijci, što lukom strijeljate!
10 For this is the day of ye Lord God of hostes, and a day of vengeance, that he may auenge him of his enemies: for the sworde shall deuoure, and it shall be saciate, and made drunke with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the North countrey by the Riuer Perath.
Ovo je dan Jahve nad Vojskama - dan osvete da se dušmanima svojim osveti: mač će se nažderati, nasititi, glad utoliti krvlju njihovom! Jer Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, ima žrtveno klanje u sjevernoj zemlji uz obalu Eufrata.
11 Goe vp vnto Gilead, and take balme, O virgine, the daughter of Egypt: in vaine shalt thou vse many medicines: for thou shalt haue no health.
Popni se na Gilead, balzama potraži, djevice, kćeri egipatska! Uzalud lijekovi mnogi: nema tebi ozdravljenja!
12 The nations haue heard of thy shame, and thy crie hath filled the lande: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong and they are fallen both together.
Narodi čuše za tvoju sramotu, vapaji tvoji napuniše zemlju. Jer se junak o junaka spotiče i obojica padaju.
13 The woorde that the Lord spake to Ieremiah the Prophet, howe Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel shoulde come and smite the lande of Egypt.
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji kad Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, dođe da udari na zemlju egipatsku.
14 Publish in Egypt and declare in Migdol, and proclaime in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, and say, Stand still, and prepare thee: for the sworde shall deuoure rounde about thee.
Navijestite Egiptu, objavite u Migdolu, obznanite u Memfisu: “Svrstaj se! Spremi se! Jer mač već ždere sve oko tebe!
15 Why are thy valiant men put backe? they could not stand, because the Lord did driue them.
Što? Zar Apis pobježe? Tvoj se Bik ne odrva?” Da, Jahve ga obori!
16 Hee made many to fall, and one fell vpon another: and they saide, Arise, let vs goe againe to our owne people, and to the land of our natiuitie from the sworde of the violent.
On učini te mnogi posrnuše, popadaše jedan na drugoga. I gle, govore: “Na noge! Vratimo se svom narodu, rodnoj grudi svojoj, pred mačem koljačkim!”
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh King of Egypt, and of a great multitude hath passed the time appointed.
Faraonu, kralju egipatskom, ime nadjenite: “Graja što pravi čas promaši.”
18 As I liue, saith the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, surely as Tabor is in the mountaines, and as Carmel is in the sea: so shall it come.
“Tako, života mi moga” - govori Kralj, komu je ime Jahve nad Vojskama - “ono će doći kao Tabor posred gora, kao Karmel iznad mora.
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, make thee geare to goe into captiuitie: for Noph shall be waste and desolate, without an inhabitant.
Spremi izgnanički zavežljaj, udomljena kćeri egipatska, jer Memfis će biti u pustoš pretvoren, poharan i nenastanjen.
20 Egypt is like a faire calfe, but destruction commeth: out of the North it commeth.
Egipat bijaše lijepa junica, ali ide, ide na nju obad sa Sjevera.
21 Also her hired men are in the middes of her like fat calues: they are also turned backe and fled away together: they could not stand, because the day of their destruction was come vpon them, and the time of their visitation.
A i plaćenici egipatski što k'o gojna telad usred nje življahu, i oni se okrenuše, u bijeg udariše, ne mogu se odhrvati jer ih stiže Dan propasti, dođe vrijeme da se kazne.
22 The voyce thereof shall goe foorth like a serpent: for they shall march with an armie, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
Slušaj! K'o da zmija sikće, sa svom silom dolaze, sjekirama na nju navaljuju, baš k'o drvosječe.
23 They shall cut downe her forest, saith the Lord: for they cannot be counted, because they are moe then ye grashoppers, and are innumerable.
Posjeći će šumu - riječ je Jahvina - iako je neprohodna. Više ih je nego skakavaca, broja njima nema.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded: she shall be deliuered into the handes of the people of the North.
Osramoćena je zemlja egipatska, predana je narodu Sjevera.”
25 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will visite the common people of No and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods and their Kings, euen Pharaoh, and al them that trust in him,
Govori Jahve nad Vojskama, kralj Izraelov: “Evo, kaznit ću Amona Tebskoga, faraona i Egipat, i sve njegove bogove, kraljeve, faraona i sve koji se u nj uzdaju.
26 And I will deliuer them into the handes of those, that seeke their liues, and into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and into the handes of his seruants, and afterwarde she shall dwell as in the olde time, saith the Lord.
Predat ću ih u ruke onima što im rade o glavi, u ruke Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, i u ruke slugu njegovih. A poslije će Egipat biti opet naseljen, kao u stara vremena” - riječ je Jahvina.
27 But feare not thou, O my seruant Iaakob, and be not thou afraid, O Israel: for behold, I will deliuer thee from a farre countrey, and thy seede from the land of their captiuitie, and Iaakob shall returne and be in rest, and prosperitie, and none shall make him afraid.
“Ne boj se, Jakove, slugo moja, ne plaši se, Izraele! Jer, evo, spasit ću te izdaleka i potomstvo tvoje iz zemlje izgnanstva. Jakov će se opet smiriti, spokojno će živjet' i nitko ga neće plašiti.
28 Feare thou not, O Iaakob my seruant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee, and I will vtterly destroy all the nations, whither I haue driuen thee: but I will not vtterly destroy thee, but correct thee by iudgement, and not vtterly cut thee off.
Ne boj se, Jakove, slugo moja - riječ je Jahvina - jer ja sam s tobom. Zatrt ću narode među koje te prognah, a tebe neću sasvim uništiti: ali ću te kaznit' po pravici, ne smijem te pustit' nekažnjena.”
