< Jeremija 43 >

1 Kad je Jeremija svemu narodu kazao sve riječi Jahve, Boga njihova, sve one riječi radi kojih ga je Jahve, Bog njihov, k njima poslao,
And it came to pass that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with which Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
2 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',
then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, spoke, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speak falsely. Jehovah our God has not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there.
3 nego Baruh, sin Nerijin, podgovori te da nas predaš u ruke Kaldejcima koji će nas pogubiti ili odvesti u sužanjstvo babilonsko!”
But Baruch the son of Neriah set upon thee 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.
4 I Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi zapovjednici i sav narod ne poslušaše glasa Jahvina da ostanu u zemlji judejskoj.
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of Jehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah.
5 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:
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 sojourn in the land of Judah,
6 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,
the men, and the women, and the sons, and the king's daughters, and every person that 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,
7 te se oni iseliše u Egipat, jer ne slušahu glasa Jahvina. I tako dođoše u Tafnis.
and they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of Jehovah. And they came to Tahpanhes.
8 U Tafnisu dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 “Uzmi u ruke velikoga kamenja i ugradi ga, pred svim Judejcima, meljtom u pločnik što je pred ulazom u faraonov dvor.
Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah,
10 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.
and say to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid, and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 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!
And he shall come, and shall smite 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 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.
And 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.
13 Porazbijat će spomenike hrama Sunca koji je u Heliopolu, a hramove bogova egipatskih ognjem će spaliti.'”
He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh that is in the land of Egypt. And the houses of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
