Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji protiv naroda.
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon stroke in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
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 Order all of you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
Pripremite štitove i oklope! Naprijed, u boj!
4 Harness the horses; and get up, all of you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; polish the spears, and put on the protective armor.
Upregnite konje! Na kola, vozači! Postavite se pod kacigama! Naperite koplja! Navucite oklope!
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled swiftly, and look not back: for fear was round about, says the LORD.
Što vidim? Zaprepašteni, uzmiču? Junaci njihovi, poraženi, u bijeg udariše glavom bez obzira! Užas odasvud - riječ je Jahvina.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
Ni najbrži ne umače, ni najhrabriji ne uteče! Na sjeveru, na obali Eufrata, posrću i padaju.
7 Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
Tko se to diže poput Nila, čije vode šume, k'o brzaci nabujaše?
8 Egypt rises up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
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 up, all of you horses; and rage, all of you 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.
Konji, naprijed! Poletite, kola bojna! Navalite, ratnici! Kušiti, Putijci, štitom zaštićeni, i Ludijci, što lukom strijeljate!
10 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, 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 GOD of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
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 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
Popni se na Gilead, balzama potraži, djevice, kćeri egipatska! Uzalud lijekovi mnogi: nema tebi ozdravljenja!
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, 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 word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji kad Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, dođe da udari na zemlju egipatsku.
14 Declare all of you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say all of you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
Navijestite Egiptu, objavite u Migdolu, obznanite u Memfisu: “Svrstaj se! Spremi se! Jer mač već ždere sve oko tebe!
15 Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
Što? Zar Apis pobježe? Tvoj se Bik ne odrva?” Da, Jahve ga obori!
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.
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 is but a noise; he has passed the time appointed.
Faraonu, kralju egipatskom, ime nadjenite: “Graja što pravi čas promaši.”
18 As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he comes.
“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 you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity: 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 very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.
Egipat bijaše lijepa junica, ali ide, ide na nju obad sa Sjevera.
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.
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 voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, 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 down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, 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 delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Osramoćena je zemlja egipatska, predana je narodu Sjevera.”
25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says; 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:
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 deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says 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 fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from far off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, 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 Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.
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.”
