Yeremia 43

1 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,

And it came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words:

2 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,

Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there.

3 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."

But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon.

4 Demikianlah Yohanan bin Kareah dan semua perwira tentara serta seluruh rakyat tidak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN untuk tinggal di tanah Yehuda.

So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda.

5 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,

But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:

6 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.

Men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.

7 Lalu mereka pergi ke tanah Mesir, sebab mereka tidak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN. Maka sampailah mereka di Tahpanhes.

And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.

8 Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia di Tahpanhes, bunyinya:

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis, saying:

9 "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,

Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao’s house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.

10 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.

And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them.

11 Dan apabila ia datang, ia akan memukul tanah Mesir: Yang ke maut, ke mautlah! Yang ke tawanan, ke tawananlah! Yang ke pedang, ke pedanglah!

And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword.

12 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.

And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

13 Ia akan memecahkan tugu-tugu berhala Bet-Syemes yang ada di Mesir dan akan menghanguskan kuil para allah Mesir itu dengan api."

And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
