Jeremija 43

1 Pripetilo se je, da ko je Jeremija končal govorjenje vsemu ljudstvu vse besede Gospoda, njihovega Boga, za katere ga je Gospod, njihov Bog, poslal k njim, celó vse te besede,

Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,

2 so potem spregovorili Hošajájev sin Azarjá, Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi ponosni možje, rekoč Jeremiju: »Napačno govoriš. Gospod, naš Bog, te ni poslal, da rečeš: ›Ne pojdite v Egipt, da začasno prebivate tam, ‹

Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’

3 temveč te je Nerijájev sin Baruh naravnal zoper nas, da nas izročiš v roko Kaldejcev, da bi nas oni lahko usmrtili in nas odvedli ujetnike v Babilon.«

Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”

4 Tako Karéahov sin Johanán, vsi poveljniki sil in vse ljudstvo niso ubogali glasu Gospoda, da prebivajo v Judovi deželi,

And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.

5 temveč so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil vzeli ves Judov preostanek, ki se je vrnil iz vseh narodov, kamor so bili pognani, da prebivajo v Judovi deželi;

But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:

6 celó može, ženske, otroke, kraljeve hčere in vsako osebo, ki jih je Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, pustil z Gedaljájem, sinom Ahikáma, sinom Šafána in prerokom Jeremijem in Nerijájevim sinom Baruhom.

men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.

7 Tako so prišli v egiptovsko deželo, kajti niso ubogali glasu Gospoda. Tako so prišli celó v Tahpanhés.

And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.

8 Potem je prišla beseda od Gospoda Jeremiju v Tahpanhésu, rekoč:

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:

9 »V svojo roko vzemi velike kamne in jih skrij v ilo v opekarsko peč, ki je pri vhodu faraonove hiše v Tahpanhésu, pred očmi Judovih mož

“Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.

10 in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: ›Glejte, poslal bom in vzel babilonskega kralja Nebukadnezarja, svojega služabnika in njegov prestol bom postavil na teh kamnih, ki sem jih skril; in on bo nad njimi razpel svoj kraljevi paviljon.

And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.

11 In ko pride, bo udaril egiptovsko deželo in izročil tiste, ki so za smrt, k smrti; in tiste, ki so za ujetništvo, k ujetništvu; in tiste, ki so za meč, k meču.

And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.

12 In jaz bom prižgal ogenj v hišah egiptovskih bogov in on jih bo sežgal in jih odvedel proč ujetnike; in odel se bo z egiptovsko deželo, kakor si pastir nadene svojo obleko; in od tod bo šel naprej v miru.

And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.

13 Zlomil bo tudi podobe Bet Šemeša, ki je v egiptovski deželi; in hiše egipčanskih bogov bo sežgal z ognjem.«

And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
