Jeremija 46
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji proroku za narode:
This is the word of the LORD about the nations—the word that came to Jeremiah the prophet
2 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.
concerning Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 Pripravite štite i štitiæe, i idite u boj;
“Deploy your shields, small and large; advance for battle!
4 Prežite konje, i pojašite, konjici; postavite se sa šljemovima; utrite koplja, oblaèite se u oklope.
Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears; put on armor!
5 Zašto ih vidim gdje se poplašiše, vraæaju se natrag, junaci njihovi polomiše se i bježe bez obzira? Strah je otsvuda, govori Gospod.
Why am I seeing this? They are terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they flee in haste without looking back; terror is on every side!”
6 Da ne uteèe laki, niti se izbavi jaki; da se na sjeveru na brijegu rijeke Efrata spotaknu i padnu.
“The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.
7 Ko je to što se diže kao potok, i vode mu se kolebaju kao rijeke?
Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?
8 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.
Egypt rises like the Nile, and its waters churn like rivers, boasting, ‘I will rise and cover the earth; I will destroy the cities and their people.’
9 Izlazite, konji, bjesnite, kola; i neka izaðu junaci, Husi i Fudi, koji nose štitove, i Ludeji, koji nose i natežu luk.
Advance, O horses! Race furiously, O chariots! Let the warriors come forth— Cush and Put carrying their shields, men of Lydia drawing the bow.
10 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.
For that day belongs to the Lord GOD of Hosts, a day of vengeance against His foes. The sword will devour until it is satisfied, until it is quenched with their blood. For the Lord GOD of Hosts will hold a sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.
11 Izidi u Galad i uzmi balsama, djevojko kæeri Misirska; zaludu su ti mnogi lijekovi, neæeš se izlijeèiti.
Go up to Gilead for balm, O Virgin Daughter of Egypt! In vain you try many remedies, but for you there is no healing.
12 Narodi èuše sramotu tvoju, i vike tvoje puna je zemlja, jer se spotièu junak o junaka, te obojica padaju.
The nations have heard of your shame, and your outcry fills the earth, because warrior stumbles over warrior and both of them have fallen together.”
13 Rijeè koju reèe Gospod Jeremiji proroku o dolasku Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga da potre zemlju Misirsku:
This is the word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt:
14 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.
“Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your positions and prepare yourself, for the sword devours those around you.’
15 Zašto se povaljaše junaci tvoji? Ne stoje, jer ih Gospod obara.
Why have your warriors been laid low? They cannot stand, for the LORD has thrust them down.
16 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.
They continue to stumble; indeed, they have fallen over one another. They say, ‘Get up! Let us return to our people and to the land of our birth, away from the sword of the oppressor.’
17 Vièu ondje: Faraon car Misirski propade, proðe mu rok.
There they will cry out: ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he has let the appointed time pass him by.’
18 Tako da sam ja živ, govori car, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama; kao Tavor meðu gorama i kao Karmil na moru doæi æe.
As surely as I live, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts, there will come one who is like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea.
19 Spremi što ti treba da se seliš, stanovnice, kæeri Misirska; jer æe Nof opustjeti i spaliæe se da neæe niko živjeti u njemu.
Pack your bags for exile, O daughter dwelling in Egypt! For Memphis will be laid waste, destroyed and uninhabited.
20 Misir je lijepa junica; ali pogibao ide, ide sa sjevera.
Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly from the north is coming against her.
21 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.
Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them— the time of their punishment.
22 Glas æe njihov iæi kao zmijinji, jer oni idu s vojskom i doæi æe sa sjekirama na nj kao oni koji sijeku drva.
Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent, for the enemy will advance in force; with axes they will come against her like woodsmen cutting down trees.
23 I oni æe posjeæi šumu njegovu, govori Gospod, ako joj i nema mjere, jer ih je više nego skakavaca i nema im broja.
They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD, dense though it may be, for they are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted.
24 Posrami se kæi Misirska, predana je u ruke narodu sjevernom.
The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be delivered into the hands of the people of the north.”
25 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.
The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I am about to punish Amon god of Thebes, along with Pharaoh, Egypt with her gods and kings, and those who trust in Pharaoh.
26 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.
I will deliver them into the hands of those who seek their lives—of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after this, Egypt will be inhabited as in days of old, declares the LORD.
27 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.
But you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
28 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.
And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, for I am with you. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have banished you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
