Jeremiah 43

1 It happened that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

Kad je Jeremija svemu narodu kazao sve riječi Jahve, Boga njihova, sve one riječi radi kojih ga je Jahve, Bog njihov, k njima poslao,

2 then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'You shall not go into Egypt to live there';

Azarja, sin Hošajin, i Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi oni drski ljudi odgovoriše Jeremiji: “Laži nam govoriš. Nije te poslao Jahve da nam govoriš: 'Ne idite u Egipat da se ondje nastanite',

3 but Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon."

nego Baruh, sin Nerijin, podgovori te da nas predaš u ruke Kaldejcima koji će nas pogubiti ili odvesti u sužanjstvo babilonsko!”

4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.

I Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi zapovjednici i sav narod ne poslušaše glasa Jahvina da ostanu u zemlji judejskoj.

5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah;

Nego Johanan, sin Kareahov, i vojni zapovjednici povedoše sav ostatak Judin, one što se vratiše iz zemalja kamo bijahu izagnani, da se nastane u zemlji judejskoj:

6 the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

muževe, žene i djecu i sve kraljevske kćeri i sve ljude koje je Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, ostavio kod Gedalije, sina Šafanova sina Ahikama, pa i proroka Jeremiju, i Baruha, sina Nerijina,

7 and they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not obey the voice of the LORD: and they came to Tahpanhes.

te se oni iseliše u Egipat, jer ne slušahu glasa Jahvina. I tako dođoše u Tafnis.

8 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

U Tafnisu dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:

9 "Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

“Uzmi u ruke velikoga kamenja i ugradi ga, pred svim Judejcima, meljtom u pločnik što je pred ulazom u faraonov dvor.

10 and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

I reci im: Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, kralj Izraelov: 'Evo šaljem po slugu svojega Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga. On će postaviti prijestolje na ovo kamenje što sam ga ugradio i nad njim će razapeti svoju nebnicu.

11 He shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death shall be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

Da, doći će i udarit će na zemlju egipatsku: Tko je za smrt, u smrt! Tko za izgnanstvo, u izgnanstvo! Tko za mač, pod mač!

12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go forth from there in peace.

On će vatrom sažeći hramove bogova egipatskih, spalit će i izagnati bogove, očistit će zemlju egipatsku kao što pastir svoj plašt otrijebi od buha. I onda će, nesmetan, odavde otići.

13 He shall also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire."'"

Porazbijat će spomenike hrama Sunca koji je u Heliopolu, a hramove bogova egipatskih ognjem će spaliti.'”
