¹The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

¹Riječ koja se javi Jeremiji za sve Judejce što življahu u zemlji egipatskoj, što življahu u Migdolu, u Tafnisu, u Memfisu i u zemlji Patrosu.

²Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

²Ovako 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,

³Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.

³zbog 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.

⁴Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

⁴A ja sam vam jednako slao svoje sluge proroke da vam kažu: 'Ne činite tih gnusoba koje su mi ogavne!'

⁵But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.

⁵Ali me oni nisu slušali, niti su uho svoje priklonili da se okane zloće svoje i prestanu kaditi tuđim bogovima.

⁶Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

⁶Zato 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.

⁷Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

⁷Zašto 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,

⁸In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

⁸jer 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?

⁹Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

⁹Jeste 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?

¹⁰They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

¹⁰Do dana današnjega nisu se pokajali, nisu se bojali, nisu živjeli po Zakonu mojemu ni po odredbama mojim, koje dadoh vama i ocima vašim."

¹¹Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

¹¹Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: "Evo, okrećem svoje lice vama, na nesreću vašu, da zatrem svu zemlju judejsku.

¹²And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

¹²Odnijet 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.

¹³For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

¹³Kaznit ću sve koji budu u zemlji egipatskoj, kao što sam kaznio Jeruzalem: mačem, glađu i kugom.

¹⁴So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

¹⁴A 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."

¹⁵Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

¹⁵I tada svi muškarci koji su znali da im žene kade tuđim bogovima, i sve nazočne žene, u velikom mnoštvu, i sav narod što življaše u zemlji egipatskoj i u Patrosu odgovoriše Jeremiji:

¹⁶As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.

¹⁶"Riječi koje si u ime Jahvino nama objavio mi ne slušamo;

¹⁷But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

¹⁷naprotiv, 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.

¹⁸But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

¹⁸Ali otkako prestadosmo kaditi nebeskoj kraljici i lijevati joj ljevanice, u svemu smo oskudijevali i od mača i gladi pogibali."

¹⁹And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

¹⁹A 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?"

²⁰Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,

²⁰Tada Jeremija svemu narodu, muškarcima i ženama, i svim ljudima koji su mu tako govorili reče:

²¹The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?

²¹"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?

²²So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

²²Jahve 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.

²³Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.

²³Zbog 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."

²⁴Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:

²⁴Zatim reče Jeremija svemu narodu, osobito ženama: "Čujte riječ Jahvinu, svi Judejci koji ste u zemlji egipatskoj:

²⁵Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

²⁵Ovako 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!

²⁶Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.

²⁶Ali 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!'

²⁷Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

²⁷Evo, 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.

²⁸Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or their's.

²⁸I 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.

²⁹And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

²⁹A 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.'

³⁰Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

³⁰Ovako 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.'"
