Of Egypt, Concerning the force of Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates, in Carchemish, —which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, smote, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: —
3 Pripravite štite i štitiæe, i idite u boj;
Prepare ye buckler and shield, And draw near to battle:
4 Prežite konje, i pojašite, konjici; postavite se sa šljemovima; utrite koplja, oblaèite se u oklope.
Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, Stand forth in helmets, —Polish the lances, 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 it? They, panic-struck, are drawing back, Yea, their heroes, are crushed, Yea they have, fled, and not turned, —Terror round about! Declareth Yahweh.
6 Da ne uteèe laki, niti se izbavi jaki; da se na sjeveru na brijegu rijeke Efrata spotaknu i padnu.
Let not the swift, flee, Nor let the hero, escape, —Northward, beside the river Euphrates, have they stumbled, and fallen.
7 Ko je to što se diže kao potok, i vode mu se kolebaju kao rijeke?
Who is it that is like the Nile when it riseth, Like rivers when his waters are tossed?
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 was like the Nile when it riseth, And like rivers, when the waters are tossed: So he said—I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city, and the dwellers therein.
9 Izlazite, konji, bjesnite, kola; i neka izaðu junaci, Husi i Fudi, koji nose štitove, i Ludeji, koji nose i natežu luk.
Mount the horses, And drive the chariots madly on, So let the heroes, go forth, —Ethiopians and Libyans that grasp the buckler, And Lydians that grasp—that tread—the bow, But, that day, belongeth to My Lord Yahweh of hosts—
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.
A day of avenging, to avenge him of his adversaries, When the sword shall devour and be filled, and be sated with their blood, —For, a sacrifice, hath My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, In the land of the North Towards 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 and fetch balsam, O virgin daughter of Egypt! In vain, hast thou multiplied remedies, Healing, there is none for thee.
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 thy disgrace, And, thine outcry, hath filled the earth, —For hero against hero, have they stumbled, Together, have fallen, the twain!
13 Rijeè koju reèe Gospod Jeremiji proroku o dolasku Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga da potre zemlju Misirsku:
The word which Yahweh spake unto Jeremiah the prophet, —as to the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite 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.
Tell ye it in Egypt, And let it be heard in Migdol, Yea let it be heard in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, —Say ye—Stand thou forth, and prepare thyself, For a sword hath devoured round about thee.
15 Zašto se povaljaše junaci tvoji? Ne stoje, jer ih Gospod obara.
Wherefore have thy valiant ones been laid prostrate? He hath made no stand, because, Yahweh, hath driven him back:
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.
Hath made many a one to be stumbling, Yea fallen is every one against his neighbour, So they have said—Arise and let us return to our own people, And unto the land of our birth, From the face of the sword of the oppressor.
17 Vièu ondje: Faraon car Misirski propade, proðe mu rok.
Proclaim ye a name, —Pharaoh, king of Egypt—a Sound! He hath overstepped the time appointed!
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, saith the King, Yahweh of hosts, is his name: Though Like Tabor among mountains, Like Carmel, Into the sea shall he go!
19 Spremi što ti treba da se seliš, stanovnice, kæeri Misirska; jer æe Nof opustjeti i spaliæe se da neæe niko živjeti u njemu.
Baggage for captivity, prepare thee, O inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; For, Noph, shall become a desolation, And be burned without inhabitant.
20 Misir je lijepa junica; ali pogibao ide, ide sa sjevera.
A calf of great beauty, is Egypt: The gad-fly, out of the North, cometh—cometh.
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 hirelings in her midst are like fatted calves, For, even they, have turned—have fled at once! have made no stand! For, their day of doom, hath come upon them, The time of their visitation.
22 Glas æe njihov iæi kao zmijinji, jer oni idu s vojskom i doæi æe sa sjekirama na nj kao oni koji sijeku drva.
Her noise, like a serpent, departeth, —For, with a force, they advance, And with axes, have they come against her, like them who fell 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 Declareth Yahweh, Surely he cannot be searched out, —For they have outnumbered locusts, and cannot be counted.
24 Posrami se kæi Misirska, predana je u ruke narodu sjevernom.
Put to shame is the daughter of Egypt, —She hath been delivered 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.
Saith Yahweh of host God of Israel, —Behold me! bringing punishment—against Amon of No, and upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and upon her gods and upon her kings, —Even upon Pharaoh, and upon all that trust 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 will deliver them—Into the hand of them who are seeking their life, Even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon And into the hand of his servants, —And after that, shall it be inhabited as in the days of old Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Thou, therefore, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob Nor be dismayed O Israel, For behold me! Saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, —So shall Jacob return and be quiet and shall rest, With none to occasion alarm.
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.
Thou, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob, Urgeth Yahweh, For, with thee, am I: Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, Yet of thee, will I not make an end, But will correct thee in measure, And not hold thee, guiltless,
