Jeremias 43

1 Men da Jeremias var til ende med at forkynde alle de Ord, med hvilke HERREN deres Gud havde sendt ham til dem, alle de nævnte Ord,

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

2 sagde Azarja, Ma'asejas Søn, og Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle de andre overmodige Mænd til Jeremias: »Du lyver! HERREN vor Gud har ikke sendt dig for at sige, at vi ikke skal drage til Ægypten for at bo der som fremmede;

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

3 nej, Baruk, Nerijas Søn, har ophidset dig imod os, for at vi skal gives i Kaldæernes Haand, saa de dræber os eller fører os bort til Babel.«

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."

4 Og Johanan, Kareas Søn, alle Hærførerne og alt Folket adlød ikke HERRENS Røst om at blive i Judas Land;

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

5 men Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne tog hele Judas Rest, som var vendt tilbage for at bo i Judas Land,

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;

6 Mænd, Kvinder og Børn, Kongedøtrene og enhver, som Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan havde ladet blive hos Gedalja, Sjafans Søn Ahikams Søn, ogsaa Profeten Jeremias og Baruk, Nerijas Søn,

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;

7 og drog til Ægypten; thi de adlød ikke HERRENS Røst. Og de kom til Takpankes.

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

8 Men HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias i Takpankes saaledes:

Then came the word of YHWH to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 Tag dig nogle store Sten og grav dem ned i Teglstensgulvets Underlag ved Indgangen til Faraos Hus i Takpankes i de judæiske Mænds Paasyn

"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;

10 og sig til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Jeg lader min Tjener Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel hente, og han skal rejse sin Trone oven over de Sten, du gravede ned, og brede sit Trontæppe derover.

and tell them, 'Thus says YHWH 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.

11 Han skal komme og slaa Ægypten; dem, der hører Døden til, skal han overgive til Død, dem, der hører Fangenskabet til, til Fangenskab og dem, der hører Sværdet til, til Sværd.

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.

12 Han skal sætte Ild paa Ægyptens Gudehuse og afbrænde dem og bortføre Guderne som Fanger, og han skal svøbe Ægypten om sig som en Hyrde sin Kappe; derpaa skal han drage bort derfra i Fred.

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 Han skal nedbryde Stenstøtterne i Bet-Sjemesj og afbrænde Ægyptens Gudehuse.

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."'"
