Jeremiah 43
1 It happened that Jeremiah finished proclaiming to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God that Yahweh their God had told him to say.
Kad je Jeremija svemu narodu kazao sve riječi Jahve, Boga njihova, sve one riječi radi kojih ga je Jahve, Bog njihov, k njima poslao,
2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling lies. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go to Egypt to live there.'
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',
3 For Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, for you to cause our death and to make us captives in Babylon.”
nego Baruh, sin Nerijin, podgovori te da nas predaš u ruke Kaldejcima koji će nas pogubiti ili odvesti u sužanjstvo babilonsko!”
4 So Johanan son of Kareah, all the princes of the army, and all the people refused to listen to Yahweh's voice to live in the land of Judah.
I Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi zapovjednici i sav narod ne poslušaše glasa Jahvina da ostanu u zemlji judejskoj.
5 Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took away all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations where they had been scattered to live in the land of Judah.
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:
6 They took the men and women, the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, had let remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan. They also took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
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,
7 They went to the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes, because they did not listen to Yahweh's voice.
te se oni iseliše u Egipat, jer ne slušahu glasa Jahvina. I tako dođoše u Tafnis.
8 So the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
U Tafnisu dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
9 “Take some large stones in your hand, and, in the sight of the people of Judah, hide them in the mortar in the pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes.”
“Uzmi u ruke velikoga kamenja i ugradi ga, pred svim Judejcima, meljtom u pločnik što je pred ulazom u faraonov dvor.
10 Then say to them, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to send messengers to take Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon as my servant. I will place his throne over these stones that you, Jeremiah, have buried. Nebuchadnezzar will place his pavilion over them.
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.
11 For he will come and attack the land of Egypt. Anyone who is assigned to death will be given to death. Anyone who is assigned to captivity will be taken captive. Anyone who is assigned to the sword will be given to the sword.
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!
12 Then I will light a fire in the temples of Egypt's gods. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them or capture them. He will clean out the land of Egypt just as shepherds clean vermin off their clothes. He will go out from that place in victory.
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.
13 He will break the stone pillars at Heliopolis in the land of Egypt. He will burn the temples of Egypt's gods.'”
Porazbijat će spomenike hrama Sunca koji je u Heliopolu, a hramove bogova egipatskih ognjem će spaliti.'”
