Jeremija 46
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji proroku za narode:
That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
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.
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:
3 Pripravite štite i štitiæe, i idite u boj;
“Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
4 Prežite konje, i pojašite, konjici; postavite se sa šljemovima; utrite koplja, oblaèite se u oklope.
Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
5 Zašto ih vidim gdje se poplašiše, vraæaju se natrag, junaci njihovi polomiše se i bježe bez obzira? Strah je otsvuda, govori Gospod.
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.
6 Da ne uteèe laki, niti se izbavi jaki; da se na sjeveru na brijegu rijeke Efrata spotaknu i padnu.
The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, They have stumbled and fallen.
7 Ko je to što se diže kao potok, i vode mu se kolebaju kao rijeke?
Who is this? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
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 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.
9 Izlazite, konji, bjesnite, kola; i neka izaðu junaci, Husi i Fudi, koji nose štitove, i Ludeji, koji nose i natežu luk.
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.
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.
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.
11 Izidi u Galad i uzmi balsama, djevojko kæeri Misirska; zaludu su ti mnogi lijekovi, neæeš se izlijeèiti.
Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied medicines in vain, There is no healing for you.
12 Narodi èuše sramotu tvoju, i vike tvoje puna je zemlja, jer se spotièu junak o junaka, te obojica padaju.
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!”
13 Rijeè koju reèe Gospod Jeremiji proroku o dolasku Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga da potre zemlju Misirsku:
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:
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.
“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,
15 Zašto se povaljaše junaci tvoji? Ne stoje, jer ih Gospod obara.
Why has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
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.
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.
17 Vièu ondje: Faraon car Misirski propade, proðe mu rok.
They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed 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] 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,
19 Spremi što ti treba da se seliš, stanovnice, kæeri Misirska; jer æe Nof opustjeti i spaliæe se da neæe niko živjeti u njemu.
Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burned up, without inhabitant.
20 Misir je lijepa junica; ali pogibao ide, ide sa sjevera.
Egypt [is] a very beautiful heifer, Destruction comes into her from the north.
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 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.
22 Glas æe njihov iæi kao zmijinji, jer oni idu s vojskom i doæi æe sa sjekirama na nj kao oni koji sijeku drva.
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.
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 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.
24 Posrami se kæi Misirska, predana je u ruke narodu sjevernom.
The daughter of Egypt has been ashamed, She has been given into the hand 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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!”
