Jeremija 43
1 A kad izgovori Jeremija svemu narodu sve rijeèi Gospoda Boga njihova, koje mu Gospod Bog njihov zapovjedi za njih, sve te rijeèi,
[So] I finished telling to the people that message from Yahweh our God.
2 Tada Azarija sin Osajin i Joanan sin Karijin i svi oni ljudi oholi rekoše Jeremiji govoreæi: nije istina što govoriš; nije te poslao Gospod Bog naš da nam kažeš: ne idite u Misir da se ondje stanite.
But then Johanan and Azariah and some other insolent/arrogant men said to me, “You are lying! Yahweh our God has not told [us] that we should not go to Egypt!
3 Nego Varuh sin Nirijin podgovara te na nas da nas preda u ruke Haldejcima da nas pogube ili da nas presele u Vavilon.
[We think that] Baruch has urged/persuaded you to say this, in order that [if we stay here], the soldiers from Babylonia will seize us and kill us or take us to Babylonia.”
4 I tako Joanan sin Karijin i sve vojvode i sav narod ne poslušaše glasa Gospodnjega da ostanu u zemlji Judinoj.
So Johanan and the other leaders of the [Israeli] soldiers and [many of] [HYP] the other people [who were there] refused to obey Yahweh’s command to stay in Judah.
5 Nego Joanan sin Karijin i sve vojvode uzeše sav ostatak Judin koji se bijaše vratio da živi u zemlji Judinoj iz svijeh naroda u koje bijahu razagnani,
Johanan and all the [other] leaders gathered together all the people who had returned from the other countries to which they had been scattered.
6 Ljude i žene i djecu i kæeri careve, i sve duše što bijaše ostavio Nevuzardan zapovjednik stražarski s Godolijom sinom Ahikama sina Safanova, i Jeremiju proroka i Varuha sina Nirijina,
[They included] men, women, children, the king’s daughters, and all those whom Nebuzaradan had left with Gedaliah, and they also took Baruch and me.
7 I otidoše u zemlju Misirsku, jer ne poslušaše glasa Gospodnjega; i doðoše do Tafnesa.
They refused to obey Yahweh, and they took us all [to Egypt], as far as Tahpenes [city].
8 I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji u Tafnesu govoreæi:
[While we were] at Tahpenes, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
9 Uzmi u ruke velikoga kamenja, i pokrij ga kalom u peæi za opeke što je na vratima doma Faraonova u Tafnesu da vide Judejci;
“While the people of Judah are watching you, take some large rocks and bury them under the brick pavement at the entrance to the king’s palace there at Tahpenes.
10 I reci im: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu poslati i dovesti Navuhodonosora cara Vavilonskoga slugu svojega, i metnuæu prijesto njegov na ovo kamenje koje sakrih, i razapeæe carski šator svoj na njemu.
Then say to the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], says: “I will summon Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, who does my work, to come [with his army] to Egypt. I will set up his throne over these stones that I told Jeremiah to bury. And Nebuchadnezzar will set up his tent there [to show that he has become] the King [of Egypt].
11 Jer æe doæi i zatrti zemlju Misirsku; ko bude za smrt otiæi æe na smrt, ko za ropstvo, u ropstvo, ko za maè, pod maè.
When his [army] comes, they will attack Egypt. Then those will die who [I have determined] must die, those who [I have determined] must be captured will be captured, and those who [I have determined] must be killed by swords will be killed by swords.
12 I raspaliæu oganj u kuæama bogova Misirskih; i popaliæe ih i odvešæe ih u ropstvo, i ogrnuæe se zemljom Misirskom kao što se pastir ogræe plaštem svojim, i otiæi æe odande s mirom.
Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt. [But before they burn the temples], they will take away their idols [as souvenirs]. His [troops] will clean Egypt like a shepherd cleans lice from his cloak. They will tear down the sacred pillars that are in the temple of their sun god. And then Nebuchadnezzar’s [troops] will leave there, without having been harmed.”’”
13 I izlomiæe stupove u domu sunèanom što je u zemlji Misirskoj, i kuæe bogova Misirskih popaliæe ognjem.
