Jeremija 46
1 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper pogane;
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
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.
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon stroke in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 »›Pripravite majhen ščit in ščit ter se približajte boju.
Order all of you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Vprezite konje in vstanite, vi konjeniki in postavite se s svojimi čeladami; zgladite sulice in si nadenite oklepe.
Harness the horses; and get up, all of you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; polish the spears, and put on the protective armor.
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.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled swiftly, and look not back: for fear was round about, 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 swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Kdo je ta, ki prihaja gor kakor poplava, katerega vode se premikajo kakor reke?‹
Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as 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 rises up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
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.
Come up, all of you horses; and rage, all of you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
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.
For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice 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 into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
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.‹«
The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 Beseda, ki jo je Gospod spregovoril preroku Jeremiju, kako bo babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar prišel in udaril egiptovsko deželo.
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and strike 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.
Declare all of you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say all of you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
15 Zakaj so tvoji hrabri možje pometeni proč? Niso obstali, ker jih je Gospod pognal.
Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
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.‹
He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Tam so vpili: ›Faraon, egiptovski kralj, je samo hrup; zamudil je določeni čas.‹
They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has passed the time appointed.
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.
As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he comes.
19 Oh ti hči, prebivajoča v Egiptu, oskrbi se, da greš v ujetništvo, kajti Nof bo opustošen in zapuščen, brez prebivalca.
O you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Egipt je podoben zelo lepi telici, toda uničenje prihaja; to prihaja iz severa.
Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes 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.
Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
22 Njihov glas bo šel kakor kača; kajti korakali bodo z vojsko in zoper njega bodo prišli s sekirami kakor drvarji.
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Posekali bodo njegov gozd, ‹ govori Gospod, ›čeprav ta ne more biti preiskan, ker jih je več kakor kobilic in so brezštevilni.
They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24 Egiptovska hči bo zbegana; izročena bo v roko severnega ljudstva.‹
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand 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 hosts, the God of Israel, says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust 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 deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, 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 fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from far off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
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.‹«
Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.
