Jeremiah 43
1 When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
Ketika Yeremia selesai mengatakan kepada seluruh rakyat segala firman TUHAN, Allah mereka, yang disuruh TUHAN, Allah mereka, disampaikannya kepada mereka, yaitu segala firman yang tersebut di atas,
2 then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’
maka berkatalah Azarya bin Hosaya dan Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua orang congkak itu kepada Yeremia: "Engkau berkata bohong! TUHAN, Allah kita, tidak mengutus engkau untuk berkata: Janganlah pergi ke Mesir untuk tinggal sebagai orang asing di sana,
3 but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.”
tetapi Barukh bin Neria menghasut engkau terhadap kami dengan maksud untuk menyerahkan kami ke dalam tangan orang-orang Kasdim, supaya mereka membunuh kami dan mengangkut kami ke dalam pembuangan ke Babel."
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Demikianlah Yohanan bin Kareah dan semua perwira tentara serta seluruh rakyat tidak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN untuk tinggal di tanah Yehuda.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah—
Lalu Yohanan bin Kareah dan semua perwira tentara itu mengumpulkan seluruh sisa Yehuda, yakni semua orang yang telah kembali dari antara segala bangsa, ke mana mereka telah berserak-serak, untuk menetap di tanah Yehuda,
6 the men, the women, the children, 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.
laki-laki, perempuan, anak-anak, puteri-puteri raja dan setiap orang yang telah dibiarkan Nebuzaradan, kepala pasukan pengawal, pada Gedalya bin Ahikam bin Safan; juga nabi Yeremia dan Barukh bin Neria.
7 They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.
Lalu mereka pergi ke tanah Mesir, sebab mereka tidak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN. Maka sampailah mereka di Tahpanhes.
8 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia di Tahpanhes, bunyinya:
9 “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.
"Ambillah di tanganmu batu-batu besar dan sembunyikanlah itu di tanah liat dekat pintu masuk istana Firaun di Tahpanhes di hadapan mata orang-orang Yehuda itu,
10 Tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, 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 will spread his royal pavilion over them.
lalu katakanlah kepada mereka: Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya, Aku mengutus orang untuk menjemput Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, hamba-Ku itu, supaya ia mendirikan takhtanya di atas batu-batu yang telah Kusuruh sembunyikan ini, dan membentangkan permadani kebesarannya di atasnya.
11 He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Dan apabila ia datang, ia akan memukul tanah Mesir: Yang ke maut, ke mautlah! Yang ke tawanan, ke tawananlah! Yang ke pedang, ke pedanglah!
12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.
Ia akan menyalakan api di kuil-kuil para allah Mesir dan akan membakar atau mengangkutnya sebagai tawanan. Dan ia akan membersihkan tanah Mesir dari kutu-kutu seperti seorang gembala membersihkan pakaiannya dari kutu-kutu, kemudian ia akan pergi dari sana tanpa gangguan.
13 He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
Ia akan memecahkan tugu-tugu berhala Bet-Syemes yang ada di Mesir dan akan menghanguskan kuil para allah Mesir itu dengan api."
