< 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,
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
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 son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
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.«
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Tako Karéahov sin Johanán, vsi poveljniki sil in vse ljudstvo niso ubogali glasu Gospoda, da prebivajo v Judovi deželi,
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay 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;
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
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.
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 Tako so prišli v egiptovsko deželo, kajti niso ubogali glasu Gospoda. Tako so prišli celó v Tahpanhés.
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 Potem je prišla beseda od Gospoda Jeremiju v Tahpanhésu, rekoč:
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
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
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
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.
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent 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.
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by 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.
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 Zlomil bo tudi podobe Bet Šemeša, ki je v egiptovski deželi; in hiše egipčanskih bogov bo sežgal z ognjem.«
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
