Jeremija 43

1 Pripetilo se je, da ko je Jeremija končal govorjenje vsemu ljudstvu vse besede Gospoda, njihovega Boga, za katere ga je Gospod, njihov Bog, poslal k njim, celó vse te besede,

And it came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words:

2 so potem spregovorili Hošajájev sin Azarjá, Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi ponosni možje, rekoč Jeremiju: »Napačno govoriš. Gospod, naš Bog, te ni poslal, da rečeš: ›Ne pojdite v Egipt, da začasno prebivate tam, ‹

Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there.

3 temveč te je Nerijájev sin Baruh naravnal zoper nas, da nas izročiš v roko Kaldejcev, da bi nas oni lahko usmrtili in nas odvedli ujetnike v Babilon.«

But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon.

4 Tako Karéahov sin Johanán, vsi poveljniki sil in vse ljudstvo niso ubogali glasu Gospoda, da prebivajo v Judovi deželi,

So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda.

5 temveč so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil vzeli ves Judov preostanek, ki se je vrnil iz vseh narodov, kamor so bili pognani, da prebivajo v Judovi deželi;

But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:

6 celó može, ženske, otroke, kraljeve hčere in vsako osebo, ki jih je Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, pustil z Gedaljájem, sinom Ahikáma, sinom Šafána in prerokom Jeremijem in Nerijájevim sinom Baruhom.

Men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.

7 Tako so prišli v egiptovsko deželo, kajti niso ubogali glasu Gospoda. Tako so prišli celó v Tahpanhés.

And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.

8 Potem je prišla beseda od Gospoda Jeremiju v Tahpanhésu, rekoč:

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis, saying:

9 »V svojo roko vzemi velike kamne in jih skrij v ilo v opekarsko peč, ki je pri vhodu faraonove hiše v Tahpanhésu, pred očmi Judovih mož

Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao’s house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.

10 in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glejte, poslal bom in vzel babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, svojega služabnika in njegov prestol bom postavil na teh kamnih, ki sem jih skril; in on bo nad njimi razpel svoj kraljevi paviljon.

And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them.

11 In ko pride, bo udaril egiptovsko deželo in izročil tiste, ki so za smrt, k smrti; in tiste, ki so za ujetništvo, k ujetništvu; in tiste, ki so za meč, k meču.

And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword.

12 In jaz bom prižgal ogenj v hišah egiptovskih bogov in on jih bo sežgal in jih odvedel proč ujetnike; in odel se bo z egiptovsko deželo, kakor si pastir nadene svojo obleko; in od tod bo šel naprej v miru.

And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

13 Zlomil bo tudi podobe Bet Šemeša, ki je v egiptovski deželi; in hiše egipčanskih bogov bo sežgal z ognjem.«

And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
