Jeremija 46
1 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper pogane;
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the nations.
2 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.
Of Egypt: about the army of Pharaoh-neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3 »›Pripravite majhen ščit in ščit ter se približajte boju.
Get out the breastplate and body-cover, and come together to the fight.
4 Vprezite konje in vstanite, vi konjeniki in postavite se s svojimi čeladami; zgladite sulice in si nadenite oklepe.
Make the horses ready, and get up, you horsemen, and take your places with your head-dresses; make the spears sharp and put on the breastplates.
5 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.
What have I seen? they are overcome with fear and turned back; their men of war are broken and have gone in flight, not looking back: fear is on every side, says the Lord.
6 ›Ne dopusti, da hitri izgine niti da mogočni človek pobegne; opotekali se bodo in padali proti severu, pri reki Evfratu.
Let not the quick-footed go in flight, or the man of war get away; on the north, by the river Euphrates, they are slipping and falling.
7 Kdo je ta, ki prihaja gor kakor poplava, katerega vode se premikajo kakor reke?‹
Who is this coming up like the Nile, whose waters are lifting their heads like the rivers?
8 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.
Egypt is coming up like the Nile, and his waters are lifting their heads like the rivers, and he says, I will go up, covering the earth; I will send destruction on the town and its people.
9 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.
Go up, you horses; go rushing on, you carriages of war; go out, you men of war: Cush and Put, gripping the body-cover, and the Ludim, with bent bows.
10 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.
But that day is the day of the Lord, the Lord of armies, a day of punishment when he will take payment from his haters: and the sword will have all its desire, drinking their blood in full measure: for there is an offering to the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Pojdi gor v Gileád in vzemi balzam, oh devica, egiptovska hči. Zaman boš uporabljala mnoga zdravila, kajti ne boš ozdravljena.
Go up to Gilead and take sweet oil, O virgin daughter of Egypt: there is no help in all your medical arts; nothing will make you well.
12 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.‹«
Your shame has come to the ears of the nations, and the earth is full of your cry: for the strong man is falling against the strong, they have come down together.
13 Beseda, ki jo je Gospod spregovoril preroku Jeremiju, kako bo babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar prišel in udaril egiptovsko deželo.
The word which the Lord said to Jeremiah the prophet, of how Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, would come and make war on the land of Egypt.
14 ›Oznanite v Egiptu, razglasite v Migdólu, razglasite v Nofu in v Tahpanhésu, recite: ›Stoj trdno in se pripravi, kajti meč bo požiral okoli tebe.
Give the news in Migdol, make it public in Noph: say, Take up your positions and make yourselves ready; for on every side of you the sword has made destruction.
15 Zakaj so tvoji hrabri možje pometeni proč? Niso obstali, ker jih je Gospod pognal.
Why has Apis, your strong one, gone in flight? he was not able to keep his place, because the Lord was forcing him down with strength.
16 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.‹
... are stopped in their going, they are falling; and they say one to another, Let us get up and go back to our people, to the land of our birth, away from the cruel sword.
17 Tam so vpili: ›Faraon, egiptovski kralj, je samo hrup; zamudil je določeni čas.‹
Give a name to Pharaoh, king of Egypt: A noise who has let the time go by.
18 › 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.
By my life, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies, truly, like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea, so will he come.
19 Oh ti hči, prebivajoča v Egiptu, oskrbi se, da greš v ujetništvo, kajti Nof bo opustošen in zapuščen, brez prebivalca.
O daughter living in Egypt, make ready the vessels of a prisoner: for Noph will become a waste, it will be burned up and become unpeopled.
20 Egipt je podoben zelo lepi telici, toda uničenje prihaja; to prihaja iz severa.
Egypt is a fair young cow; but a biting insect has come on her out of the north.
21 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.
And those who were her fighters for payment are like fat oxen; for they are turned back, they have gone in flight together, they do not keep their place: for the day of their fate has come on them, the time of their punishment.
22 Njihov glas bo šel kakor kača; kajti korakali bodo z vojsko in zoper njega bodo prišli s sekirami kakor drvarji.
She makes a sound like the hiss of a snake when they come on with strength; they go against her with axes, like wood-cutters.
23 Posekali bodo njegov gozd, ‹ govori Gospod, ›čeprav ta ne more biti preiskan, ker jih je več kakor kobilic in so brezštevilni.
They will be cutting down her woods, for they may not be searched out; because they are like locusts, more than may be numbered.
24 Egiptovska hči bo zbegana; izročena bo v roko severnega ljudstva.‹
The daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be given up into the hands of the people of the north.
25 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.
The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on Amon of No and on Pharaoh and on those who put their faith in him;
26 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.
And I will give them up into the hands of those who will take their lives, and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of his servants: and later, it will be peopled as in the past, says the Lord.
27 ›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.
But have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and in peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.
28 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.‹«
Have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; for I am with you: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
