Jeremiah 46
1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper pogane;
2 for Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the Euphrates River, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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 “Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
»›Pripravite majhen ščit in ščit ter se približajte boju.
4 Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
Vprezite konje in vstanite, vi konjeniki in postavite se s svojimi čeladami; zgladite sulice in si nadenite oklepe.
5 Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they have fled [to] a refuge, And did not turn their face, Fear [is] all around—a declaration of 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 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, They have stumbled and fallen.
›Ne dopusti, da hitri izgine niti da mogočni človek pobegne; opotekali se bodo in padali proti severu, pri reki Evfratu.
7 Who is this? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
Kdo je ta, ki prihaja gor kakor poplava, katerega vode se premikajo kakor reke?‹
8 Egypt comes up as a flood, And the waters shake themselves as rivers. And he says, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
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 Go up, you horses; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling—treading 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 And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied medicines in vain, There is no healing for you.
Pojdi gor v Gileád in vzemi balzam, oh devica, egiptovska hči. Zaman boš uporabljala mnoga zdravila, kajti ne boš ozdravljena.
12 Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty stumbled on the mighty, Together they have fallen—both of them!”
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 has spoken to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to strike the land of Egypt:
Beseda, ki jo je Gospod spregovoril preroku Jeremiju, kako bo babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar prišel in udaril egiptovsko deželo.
14 “Declare in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, And sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, say, Stand firm and prepare yourself, For a sword has devoured around you,
›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 has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
Zakaj so tvoji hrabri možje pometeni proč? Niso obstali, ker jih je Gospod pognal.
16 He has multiplied the stumbling, Indeed, one has fallen on his neighbor, And they say: Rise, and we return to our people, And to the land of our birth, Because of 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 have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed by.
Tam so vpili: ›Faraon, egiptovski kralj, je samo hrup; zamudil je določeni čas.‹
18 [As] I live—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea—he comes in,
› 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 Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burned up, without inhabitant.
Oh ti hči, prebivajoča v Egiptu, oskrbi se, da greš v ujetništvo, kajti Nof bo opustošen in zapuščen, brez prebivalca.
20 Egypt [is] a very beautiful heifer, Destruction comes into her from the north.
Egipt je podoben zelo lepi telici, toda uničenje prihaja; to prihaja iz severa.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection.
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 Its voice goes on as a serpent, For they go with a force, And they have come in to her with axes, As hewers of trees.
Njihov glas bo šel kakor kača; kajti korakali bodo z vojsko in zoper njega bodo prišli s sekirami kakor drvarji.
23 They have cut down her forest, A declaration of YHWH, For it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
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 has been ashamed, She has been given into the hand of the people of the north.
Egiptovska hči bo zbegana; izročena bo v roko severnega ljudstva.‹
25 YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, has said: Behold, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting 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 have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterward it is inhabited, As [in] days of old—a declaration of 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 And you, you do not fear, My servant Jacob, Nor [are] you dismayed, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar—And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back, And has been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
›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 You do not fear, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, For I [am] with you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have driven you, And I do not make an end of you, And I have reproved you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you!”
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.‹«
