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,

And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had ended speaking unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with which Jehovah their God had sent him to them — all these words,

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, ‹

— then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there;

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.«

but Baruch the son of Nerijah is setting thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.

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

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah to abide 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 captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations whither they had been driven, to sojourn 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 king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerijah;

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

and they came into the land of Egypt: for they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. And they came as far as Tahpanhes.

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

And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah in 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 thy hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the Jews,

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 say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones which I have hidden, and he shall spread his royal pavilion over 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 shall come and smite 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 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 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive; 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 Zlomil bo tudi podobe Bet Šemeša, ki je v egiptovski deželi; in hiše egipčanskih bogov bo sežgal z ognjem.«

And he shall break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
