1 The word that came to Jeremiah for al the Judaeans living in Egypt, those, that is, living in Migdol,Tahpanhes, Noph and the territory of Pathros.1 Riječ koja se javi Jeremiji za sve Judejce što življahu u zemlji egipatskoj, što življahu u Migdolu, u Tafnisu, u Memfisu i u zemlji Patrosu.
2 'Yahweh Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this, "You have seen al the disaster I have brought onJerusalem and all the towns of Judah; today they lie in ruins and uninhabited.2 Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: »I sami vidjeste svu nesreću koju sam svalio na Jeruzalem i na sve gradove judejske: evo danas su to gomile ruševina, a u njima nitko više ne živi,
3 This was because of the wicked deeds they committed to provoke my anger, by going and offeringincense and serving other gods whom neither they, nor you, nor your ancestors knew anything about,3 zbog nedjela njihovih što ih učiniše da bi mene vrijeđali, polazeći drugim bogovima kojih nisu poznavali ni oni, ni vi, ni oci vaši, da im kade i da im služe.
4 although I urgently and untiringly sent you al my servants the prophets to say: You must not do thisloathsome thing, which I hate.4 A ja sam vam jednako slao svoje sluge proroke da vam kažu: ‘Ne činite tih gnusoba koje su mi ogavne!’
5 But they would not listen or pay attention, and turn from their wickedness and stop offering incense toother gods.5 Ali me oni nisu slušali, niti su uho svoje priklonili da se okane zloće svoje i prestanu kaditi tuđim bogovima.
6 And so my furious anger overflowed, burning down the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem,which were reduced to ruins and wasteland, as they stil are today.6 Zato se izli gnjev moj i srdžba moja i rasplamtje se u gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim, te se pretvoriše u pustoš i razvaline, kao što su danas.
7 And now, Yahweh, God Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this: Why bring complete disaster on yourselvesby cutting yourselves off from Judah -- your men, women, children and babes in arms -- so as to leaveyourselves no remnant,7 Zašto sami svaljujete na se tako golemu nesreću« – govori Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov – »te sami do korijena istrebljujete iz Judeje sve muško i žensko, djecu i dojenčad, te vam ni ostatka ostati neće,
8 by provoking my wrath by your actions, offering incense to other gods in Egypt where you have cometo settle, as though bent on your own destruction and on becoming a curse and a laughing-stock for all thenations of the earth?8 jer me vrijeđate djelima ruku svojih, kadeći tuđim bogovima u zemlji egipatskoj, u koju ste došli prebivati, a bit ćete iskorijenjeni i postat ćete kletva i ruglo među svim narodima na zemlji?
9 Have you forgotten the wicked deeds of your ancestors, of the kings of Judah and of your princes, yourown wicked deeds and those of your wives, committed in the country of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?9 Jeste li zaboravili bezakonja otaca svojih, bezakonja kraljeva judejskih, bezakonja knezova svojih i žena njihovih i bezakonja svoja, bezakonja žena svojih, počinjena u zemlji judejskoj i po ulicama jeruzalemskim?
10 To this day they have felt neither contrition nor fear; they have not observed my Law or my statutes,which I prescribed for you, as for your ancestors.10 Do dana današnjega nisu se pokajali, nisu se bojali, nisu živjeli po Zakonu mojemu ni po odredbama mojim, koje dadoh vama i ocima vašim.«
11 So, Yahweh Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this: Look, I have determined on disaster and shal destroyJudah completely.11 Zato ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: »Evo, okrećem svoje lice vama, na nesreću vašu, da zatrem svu zemlju judejsku.
12 I shal take the remnant of Judah who were determined to come to Egypt and settle there, and inEgypt they wil perish; they wil fal to the sword or perish of famine, from least to greatest; by sword and faminethey will die and be an object of execration and horror, a curse, a laughing-stock.12 Odnijet ću ostatak Judeje koji je odlučio da ide u zemlju egipatsku da se ondje stani; svi će izginuti u zemlji egipatskoj, past će od mača, od gladi će pogibati, poginut će svi, malo i veliko, pomrijet će od mača i gladi, i bit će prokletstvo, užas, kletva i poruga.
13 I shal punish those who live in Egypt just as I punished Jerusalem: by sword, famine and plague.13 Kaznit ću sve koji budu u zemlji egipatskoj, kao što sam kaznio Jeruzalem: mačem, glađu i kugom.
14 Of the remnant of Judah which has come to settle in Egypt, not a single one wil escape or survive toreturn to the country of Judah where they long to return and live. For none of them wil return, except a fewrefugees." '14 A od ostatka Judeje koji je došao da se stani u Egiptu, nitko neće uteći ni preživjeti da bi se mogao vratiti u zemlju judejsku za kojom im duše čeznu, da se u nju vrate i ondje nastane. Jer se nitko neće vratiti, osim izbjeglica.«
15 At this, all the men who knew that their wives offered incense to other gods, and al the women whowere standing there, a great crowd (and al the people living in Egypt, in Pathros), answered Jeremiah asfol ows,15 I tada svi muškarci koji su znali da im žene kâdê tuđim bogovima, i sve nazočne žene, u velikom mnoštvu, i sav narod što življaše u zemlji egipatskoj i u Patrosu odgovoriše Jeremiji:
16 'We have no intention of listening to the word you have just spoken to us in Yahweh's name,16 »Riječi koje si u ime Jahvino nama objavio mi ne slušamo;
17 but intend to go on doing al we have vowed to do: offering incense to the Queen of Heaven andpouring libations in her honour, as we used to do, we and our ancestors, our kings and our chief men, in thetowns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem: we had food in plenty then, we lived well, we suffered no disasters.17 naprotiv, i dalje ćemo se držati zadane riječi: kadit ćemo nebeskoj kraljici i lijevati ljevanice, kao što smo i mi i oci naši, naši kraljevi i knezovi činili u gradovima judejskim i po ulicama jeruzalemskim: tada imadosmo kruha izobila, bijasmo sretni i ne trpjesmo nikakvih nesreća.
18 But since we gave up offering incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring libations in her honour,we have been destitute and have perished either by sword or by famine.18 Ali otkako prestadosmo kaditi nebeskoj kraljici i lijevati joj ljevanice, u svemu smo oskudijevali i od mača i gladi pogibali.«
19 Besides, when we offer incense to the Queen of Heaven and pour libations in her honour, do youthink we make cakes for her with her features on them, and pour libations to her, without our husbands'knowledge?'19 A žene rekoše: »Kad kadimo kraljici nebeskoj i lijevamo joj ljevanice, zar joj bez znanja svojih muževa pečemo kolače u obliku lika njezina i lijevamo ljevanice?«
20 To al the people, men and women, all those who had made this answer, Jeremiah retorted,20 Tada Jeremija svemu narodu, muškarcima i ženama, i svim ljudima koji su mu tako govorili reče:
21 'The incense you offered in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, you, your ancestors,your kings, your chief men and the people at large -- was this not what Yahweh kept remembering, and found sorepellent21 »Nije li se Jahve spomenuo i nije li ga u srce dirnuo tamjan što ste ga palili po ulicama jeruzalemskim, vi i oci vaši, vaši kraljevi, knezovi i puk zemaljski?
22 that Yahweh could not endure your misdeeds and your loathsome practices any longer, with the resultthat your country has become the uninhabited ruin, the object of horror and cursing it is today?22 Jahve više nije mogao podnositi zlodjela vaših i gnusoba koje počiniste, i zato se zemlja vaša pretvorila u pustoš i ruševine, u prokletstvo, bez stanovnika, kao što je i danas.
23 Because you offered incense, because you sinned against Yahweh, refusing to listen to the voice ofYahweh, or to observe his Law, his statutes and his decrees -- that is why the present disaster has overtakenyou.'23 Zbog toga što ste, prinoseći tamjan, zgriješili Jahvi, što Jahvina glasa ne slušaste i Jahvina se zakona i njegovih se naredaba i svjedočanstava ne držaste, snađe vas ova nevolja, kakva je danas.«
24 Further, Jeremiah said to al the people, and particularly to al the women, 'Listen to the word ofYahweh, al you Judaeans in Egypt,24 Zatim reče Jeremija svemu narodu, osobito ženama: »Čujte riječ Jahvinu, svi Judejci koji ste u zemlji egipatskoj:
25 Yahweh Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this, "You and your wives, what your mouths promised, yourhands have indeed performed! You said: We shall punctiliously fulfil the vows we have made and offer incenseto the Queen of Heaven and pour libations in her honour. Very wel , keep your vows, perform them punctiliously!25 Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama, Bog Izraelov: ‘Vi žene, ono što vaša usta obećaju, to vaše ruke moraju i izvršiti. Rekoste: ‘Mi ćemo se tvrdo držati zavjeta što ih učinismo: kaditi kraljici nebeskoj i lijevati joj ljevanice.’ Držite se samo svojih zavjeta i lijevajte revno ljevanice!
26 But listen to the word of Yahweh, al you Judaeans living in Egypt: I swear by my great name, Yahwehsays, that my name wil no longer be uttered by any man of Judah throughout Egypt; no one wil say: As LordYahweh lives.26 Ali čujte zato riječ Jahvinu, svi vi Judejci nastanjeni u zemlji egipatskoj! Evo, zaklinjem se velikim imenom svojim’, govori Jahve. ‘U svoj zemlji egipatskoj nijedna usta judejska neće više izustiti mojega imena; nitko neće reći: ‘Živoga mi Jahve!’
27 No, I am going to keep my eye on them for disaster, not for prosperity, and al the Judaeans in Egyptwil perish either by the sword or by famine until they are wiped out.27 Evo, bdim nad njima, na nesreću, a ne na dobro njihovo: svi ljudi judejski što su u zemlji egipatskoj poginut će od mača i gladi do potpunog istrebljenja.
28 Yet, though few in number, those who escape the sword wil return to the country of Judah fromEgypt. Then the entire remnant of Judah which has come and settled in Egypt wil know whose word comes true,mine or theirs.28 I bit će malo onih koji će izbjeći maču i vratiti se iz egipatske zemlje u zemlju judejsku. Onda će sav ostatak judejski, svi koji dođoše u zemlju egipatsku da ondje žive, spoznati čija riječ vrijedi, moja ili njihova.’
29 "And here is the sign for you, Yahweh declares, that I shal punish you in this place: so that you wilknow that the words with which I threaten you will come true:29 ‘A ovo neka vam bude znamenje’ – riječ je Jahvina – ‘da ću vas kazniti na ovome mjestu, da biste znali da će se vama na nesreću ispuniti prijetnje moje protiv vas.’
30 Yahweh says this: Look, I shal hand Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, over to his enemies and to thosedetermined to kil him, just as I handed Zedekiah king of Judah over to his enemy Nebuchadnezzar king ofBabylon, who was determined to kil him." '30 Ovako govori Jahve: ‘Gle, predat ću faraona Hofru, kralja egipatskoga, u ruke njegovim neprijateljima i u ruke onih koji mu rade o glavi, baš kao što sam Sidkiju, kralja judejskoga, predao u ruke Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, neprijatelja njegova, koji mu je radio o glavi.’«
