Jeremias 43
1 Og det skete, der Jeremias var færdig med at tale til alt Folket alle Herren deres Guds Ord, med hvilke Herren deres Gud havde sendt ham til dem, alle hine Ord,
Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,
2 da sagde Asaria, Hosajas Søn, og Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de hovmodige Mænd til Jeremias: Du taler Løgn, Herren var Gud har ikke sendt dig og sagt: I skulle ikke drage til Ægypten for at være der som fremmede.
Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’
3 Men Baruk, Nerias Søn, ophidser dig imod os, for at give os i Kaldæernes Haand, at de kunne dræbe os eller bortføre os til Babel.
Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”
4 Saa hørte Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle Høvedsmændene for Hæren og alt Folket ikke Herrens Røst om at blive boende i Judas Land.
And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.
5 Men Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle Høvedsmændene for Hæren toge alle de overblevne af Juda, og dem, som vare komne tilbage fra alle de Folkeslag, hvorhen de havde været fordrevne, for at bo i Judas Land:
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:
6 Mændene og Kvinderne og de smaa Børn og Kongens Døtre og hver Sjæl, som Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, havde ladet blive hos Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, samt Profeten Jeremias, og Baruk, Nerias Søn;
men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.
7 og de kom til Ægyptens Land, thi de havde ikke hørt Herrens Røst; og de kom lige til Thakpankes.
And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias i Thakpankes, saa lydende:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:
9 Tag store Stene i din Haand, og skjul dem i Leret ved Teglovnen, som er ved Indgangen til Faraos Hus i Thakpankes for Judas Mænds Øjne;
“Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
10 og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Se, jeg sender Bud og henter Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, min Tjener, og jeg vil sætte hans Trone oven over disse Stene, som jeg har skjult, og han skal udbrede sit kostelige Tæppe over dem.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.
11 Og han skal komme og slaa Ægyptens Land: De, som ere bestemte til Døden, blive Dødens, de, som ere bestemte til Fangenskabet, blive Fangenskabets, de, som ere bestemte til Sværdet, blive Sværdets.
And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.
12 Og jeg vil stikke Ild paa Ægyptens Guders Huse, og han skal opbrænde disse og bortføre hine, og han skal svøbe Ægyptens Land om sig, ligesom en Hyrde svøber sit Klædebon om sig, og drage ud derfra med Fred.
And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.
13 Og han skal sønderbryde Billedstøtterne i Beth-Semes, som er i Ægyptens Land, og opbrænde Ægyptens Guders Huse med Ild.
And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
