Jeremiah 46
1 The word of Yhwh which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper pogane;
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh–necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
zoper Egipt, zoper vojsko faraona Nehota, egiptovskega kralja, ki je bil pri reki Evfratu v Kárkemišu, ki ga je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar udaril v četrtem letu Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja.
3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
»›Pripravite majhen ščit in ščit ter se približajte boju.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
Vprezite konje in vstanite, vi konjeniki in postavite se s svojimi čeladami; zgladite sulice in si nadenite oklepe.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith Yhwh.
Zakaj sem jih videl zaprepadene in obrnjene nazaj? In njihovi mogočni so potolčeni in so naglo zbežali in niso gledali nazaj, kajti strah je bil naokoli, ‹ govori Gospod.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
›Ne dopusti, da hitri izgine niti da mogočni človek pobegne; opotekali se bodo in padali proti severu, pri reki Evfratu.
7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
Kdo je ta, ki prihaja gor kakor poplava, katerega vode se premikajo kakor reke?‹
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
Egipt se vzdiguje kakor poplava in njegove vode se premikajo kakor reke; in pravi: ›Šel bom gor in pokril zemljo, uničil bom mesto in njegove prebivalce.
9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
Pridite gor, vi konji; in besnite, vi bojni vozovi in naj mogočni možje pridejo naprej. Etiopijci in Libijci, ki prijemajo ščit; in Ludéjci, ki prijemajo in napenjajo lok.
10 For this is the day of the Lord Yhwh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord Yhwh of Armies hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
Kajti to je dan Gospoda Boga nad bojevniki, dan maščevanja, da se lahko maščuje svojim nasprotnikom in meč bo požiral in ta bo nasičen in opijanjen z njihovo krvjo, kajti Gospod Bog nad bojevniki ima klavno daritev v severni deželi, pri reki Evfratu.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
Pojdi gor v Gileád in vzemi balzam, oh devica, egiptovska hči. Zaman boš uporabljala mnoga zdravila, kajti ne boš ozdravljena.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
Narodi so slišali o tvoji sramoti in tvoje vpitje je napolnilo deželo, kajti mogočen človek se je spotaknil zoper mogočnega in oba skupaj sta padla.‹«
13 The word that Yhwh spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
Beseda, ki jo je Gospod spregovoril preroku Jeremiju, kako bo babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar prišel in udaril egiptovsko deželo.
14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
›Oznanite v Egiptu, razglasite v Migdólu, razglasite v Nofu in v Tahpanhésu, recite: ›Stoj trdno in se pripravi, kajti meč bo požiral okoli tebe.
15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because Yhwh did drive them.
Zakaj so tvoji hrabri možje pometeni proč? Niso obstali, ker jih je Gospod pognal.
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
Mnoge je pripravil, da padejo, da, eden je padel na drugega. Rekli so: ›Vstanimo in ponovno pojdimo k svojemu ljudstvu in k deželi svojega rojstva, proč od zatiralskega meča.‹
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
Tam so vpili: ›Faraon, egiptovski kralj, je samo hrup; zamudil je določeni čas.‹
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is Yhwh of Armies, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
› Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Kralj, čigar ime je Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Zagotovo, kakor je Tabor med gorami in kakor Karmel pri morju, tako bo on prišel.
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
Oh ti hči, prebivajoča v Egiptu, oskrbi se, da greš v ujetništvo, kajti Nof bo opustošen in zapuščen, brez prebivalca.
20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
Egipt je podoben zelo lepi telici, toda uničenje prihaja; to prihaja iz severa.
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
Prav tako so njegovi najeti možje v njegovi sredi podobni pitanim bikcem; kajti obrnjeni so tudi nazaj in skupaj so pobegnili proč; niso obstali, ker je nadnje prišel dan njihove katastrofe in čas njihovega obiskanja.
22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
Njihov glas bo šel kakor kača; kajti korakali bodo z vojsko in zoper njega bodo prišli s sekirami kakor drvarji.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith Yhwh, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
Posekali bodo njegov gozd, ‹ govori Gospod, ›čeprav ta ne more biti preiskan, ker jih je več kakor kobilic in so brezštevilni.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Egiptovska hči bo zbegana; izročena bo v roko severnega ljudstva.‹
25 Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, pravi: ›Glejte, kaznoval bom množico iz Noja in faraona in Egipt z njihovimi bogovi in njihovimi kralji, celo faraona in vse tiste, ki zaupajo vanj.
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith Yhwh.
Izročil jih bom v roko tistih, ki jim strežejo po življenju, v roko babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja in v roko njegovih služabnikov. Potem bo ta naseljen kakor v dneh davnine, ‹ govori Gospod.
27 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
›Vendar se ne boj, oh moj služabnik Jakob in ne bodi zaprepaden, oh Izrael, kajti glej, rešil te bom od daleč in tvoje seme iz dežele njihovega ujetništva. Jakob se bo vrnil in bo počival in bo sproščen in nihče ga ne bo naredil prestrašenega.
28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith Yhwh: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
Ne boj se, Jakob, moj služabnik, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kajti jaz sem s teboj, kajti naredil bom popoln konec vseh narodov, kamor sem te pognal. Toda iz tebe ne bom naredil popolnega konca, temveč te bom grajal po meri; vendar te ne bom pustil v celoti nekaznovanega.‹«
