Jeremija
Capitolo 46
1
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji protiv naroda.
2
Još o Egiptu. Protiv vojske faraona Neka, kralja egipatskoga, što bijaše kod rijeke Eufrata, u Karkemišu, i kralj Nabukodonozor ga potuče, četvrte godine Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga.
3
Pripremite štitove i oklope! Naprijed, u boj!
4
Upregnite konje! Na kola, vozači! Postavite se pod kacigama! Naperite koplja! Navucite oklope!
5
Što vidim? Zaprepašteni, uzmiču? Junaci njihovi, poraženi, u bijeg udariše glavom bez obzira! Užas odasvud - riječ je Jahvina.
6
Ni najbrži ne umače, ni najhrabriji ne uteče! Na sjeveru, na obali Eufrata, posrću i padaju.
7
Tko se to diže poput Nila, čije vode šume, k'o brzaci nabujaše?
8
To Egipat se diže poput Nila, k'o brzaci vode mu nabujaše. I govori: dići ću se, poplaviti zemlju, opustošiti gradove i pučanstvo!
9
Konji, naprijed! Poletite, kola bojna! Navalite, ratnici! Kušiti, Putijci, štitom zaštićeni, i Ludijci, što lukom strijeljate!
10
Ovo je dan Jahve nad Vojskama - dan osvete da se dušmanima svojim osveti: mač će se nažderati, nasititi, glad utoliti krvlju njihovom! Jer Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, ima žrtveno klanje u sjevernoj zemlji uz obalu Eufrata.
11
Popni se na Gilead, balzama potraži, djevice, kćeri egipatska! Uzalud lijekovi mnogi: nema tebi ozdravljenja!
12
Narodi čuše za tvoju sramotu, vapaji tvoji napuniše zemlju. Jer se junak o junaka spotiče i obojica padaju.
13
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji kad Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, dođe da udari na zemlju egipatsku.
14
Navijestite Egiptu, objavite u Migdolu, obznanite u Memfisu: “Svrstaj se! Spremi se! Jer mač već ždere sve oko tebe!
15
Što? Zar Apis pobježe? Tvoj se Bik ne odrva?” Da, Jahve ga obori!
16
On učini te mnogi posrnuše, popadaše jedan na drugoga. I gle, govore: “Na noge! Vratimo se svom narodu, rodnoj grudi svojoj, pred mačem koljačkim!”
17
Faraonu, kralju egipatskom, ime nadjenite: “Graja što pravi čas promaši.”
18
“Tako, života mi moga” - govori Kralj, komu je ime Jahve nad Vojskama - “ono će doći kao Tabor posred gora, kao Karmel iznad mora.
19
Spremi izgnanički zavežljaj, udomljena kćeri egipatska, jer Memfis će biti u pustoš pretvoren, poharan i nenastanjen.
20
Egipat bijaše lijepa junica, ali ide, ide na nju obad sa Sjevera.
21
A i plaćenici egipatski što k'o gojna telad usred nje življahu, i oni se okrenuše, u bijeg udariše, ne mogu se odhrvati jer ih stiže Dan propasti, dođe vrijeme da se kazne.
22
Slušaj! K'o da zmija sikće, sa svom silom dolaze, sjekirama na nju navaljuju, baš k'o drvosječe.
23
Posjeći će šumu - riječ je Jahvina - iako je neprohodna. Više ih je nego skakavaca, broja njima nema.
24
Osramoćena je zemlja egipatska, predana je narodu Sjevera.”
25
Govori Jahve nad Vojskama, kralj Izraelov: “Evo, kaznit ću Amona Tebskoga, faraona i Egipat, i sve njegove bogove, kraljeve, faraona i sve koji se u nj uzdaju.
26
Predat ću ih u ruke onima što im rade o glavi, u ruke Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, i u ruke slugu njegovih. A poslije će Egipat biti opet naseljen, kao u stara vremena” - riječ je Jahvina.
27
“Ne boj se, Jakove, slugo moja, ne plaši se, Izraele! Jer, evo, spasit ću te izdaleka i potomstvo tvoje iz zemlje izgnanstva. Jakov će se opet smiriti, spokojno će živjet' i nitko ga neće plašiti.
28
Ne boj se, Jakove, slugo moja - riječ je Jahvina - jer ja sam s tobom. Zatrt ću narode među koje te prognah, a tebe neću sasvim uništiti: ali ću te kaznit' po pravici, ne smijem te pustit' nekažnjena.”
Jeremiah
Capitolo 46
1
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2
Against Egypt, against the army 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 the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3
Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4
Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
5
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD.
6
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7
Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8
Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9
Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye 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
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 hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
12
The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13
¶ The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
15
Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16
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
They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
18
As I live, saith 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 come.
19
O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20
Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
21
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
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
They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25
The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; 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
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, saith the LORD.
27
¶ But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy 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
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
