Jeremiah 43
1 When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—
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,
2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
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;
3 Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”
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."
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
Og Johanan, Karens Søn, alle Hærførerne og alt Folket adlød ikke HERRENs Røst om at blive i Judas Land;
5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned to the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been scattered,
men Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne tog hele Judas Rest, som var vendt tilbage for at bo i Judas Land,
6 the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
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,
7 So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
og drog til Ægypten; thi de adlød ikke HERRENs Røst. Og de kom til Takpankes.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
Men HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias i Takpankes således:
9 “In the sight of the Jews, pick up some large stones and bury them in the clay of the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes.
Tag dig nogle store Sten og grav dem ned i Teglstensgulvets Underlag ved Indgangen til Faraos Hus i Takpankes i de judæiske Mænds Påsyn
10 Then tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded, and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
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.
11 He will come and strike down the land of Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.
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.
12 I will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar will burn those temples and take their gods as captives. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself in his garment, and he will depart from there unscathed.
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.
13 He will demolish the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
Han skal nedbryde Stenstøtterne i Bet-Sjemesj og afbrænde Ægyptens Gudehuse.
