Jeremias 43
1 Men da Jeramias var til ende med at forkynde alle de Ord, med hvilke HERREN deres Gud havde sendt ham til dem, alle de nævnte Ord,
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
2 sagde Azarja, Maasejas 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;
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
3 nej, Baruk, Nerijas Søn, har ophidset dig imod os, for at vi skal gives i Kaldæernes Hånd, så de dræber os eller fører os bort til Babel."
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Og Johanan, Karens Søn, alle Hærførerne og alt Folket adlød ikke HERRENs Røst om at blive i Judas Land;
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay 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,
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
6 Mænd, Kvinder og Børn, Kongedøtrene og enhver, som Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan havde ladet blive hos Gedalja, Sjafans Søn Ahikams Søn, også Profeten Jeremias og Baruk, Nerijas Søn,
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 og drog til Ægypten; thi de adlød ikke HERRENs Røst. Og de kom til Takpankes.
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 Men HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias i Takpankes således:
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 Tag dig nogle store Sten og grav dem ned i Teglstensgulvets Underlag ved Indgangen til Faraos Hus i Takpankes i de judæiske Mænds Påsyn
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
10 og sig til dem: Så 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.
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
11 Han skal komme og slå 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 will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
12 Han skal sætte Ild på Ægyptens Gudehuse og afbrænde dem og bortføre Guderne som Fanger, og han skal svøbe Ægypten om sig, som en Hyrde sin Kappe; derpå skal han drage bort derfra i Fred.
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 Han skal nedbryde Stenstøtterne i Bet-Sjemesj og afbrænde Ægyptens Gudehuse.
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
