Jeremias 43

1E sucedeu que, quando Jeremias acabou de falar a todo o povo todas as palavras do SENHOR Deus deles, pelas quais o SENHOR Deus deles tinha o enviado a eles, 2Então Azarias filho de Hosaías, e Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os homens arrogantes disseram a Jeremias: Tu falas mentira! O SENHOR nosso Deus não te enviou para dizer: Não entreis em Egito para ali peregrinar. 3Mas é Baruque filho de Nerias que te incita contra nós, para nos entregar nas mãos dos caldeus, para nos matar ou nos fazer transportar cativos à Babilônia. 4Assim Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos, e todo o povo, não obedeceram à voz do SENHOR para ficarem na terra de Judá; 5Em vez disse, Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos, tomaram a todo o restante de Judá, que tinham voltado de todas as nações para onde haviam sido lançados, para morarem na terra de Judá: 6Homens, mulheres, crianças, as filhas do rei, e a toda alma que Nabuzaradã capitão da guarda tinha deixado com Gedalias filho de Aicã filho de Safã, e também ao profeta Jeremias, e a Baruque filho de Nerias; 7E vieram à terra do Egito, porque não obedeceram à voz do SENHOR; e chegaram até Tafnes. 8Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias em Tafnes, dizendo: 9Toma em tua mão pedras grandes, e as esconde entre o barro no forno que está à porta da casa de Faraó em Tafnes, diante dos olhos de homens judeus, 10E dize-lhes: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia, meu servo, e porei seu trono sobre estas pedras que escondi; e ele estenderá sua tenda real sobre elas. 11E ele virá, e ferirá a terra do Egito: os que estão condenados para a morte, à morte; os que para o cativeiro, ao cativeiro, e os que para a espada, à espada. 12E acenderei fogo às casas dos deuses do Egito; e ele as queimará, e os levará cativos; e ele se vestirá da terra do Egito, tal como o pastor se veste de sua capa; e ele sairá de lá em paz. 13E quebrará as estátuas de Bete-Semes, que fica na terra do Egito, e queimará a fogo as casas dos deuses do Egito.

1When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him to them, even all these words, 2then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely: Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, You shall not go into Egypt to live there; 3but Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon. 4So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey the voice of Yahweh, to dwell in the land of Judah. 5But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah; 6the men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah; 7and they came into the land of Egypt; for they didn’t obey the voice of Yahweh: and they came to Tahpanhes. 8Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; 10and tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 11He shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death shall be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword. 12I 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 puts on his garment; and he shall go out from there in peace. 13He shall also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.

1En het geschiedde, als Jeremia geeindigd had tot het ganse volk te spreken al de woorden des HEEREN, huns Gods, met dewelke hem de HEERE, hun God, tot hen gezonden had, te weten al die woorden, 2Zo sprak Azaria, de zoon van Hosaja, en Johanan, de zoon van Kareah, en al de trotse mannen, zeggende tot Jeremia: Gij spreekt leugen; de HEERE, onze God, heeft u niet gezonden, om te zeggen: Gijlieden zult niet gaan in Egypte, om aldaar als vreemdelingen te verkeren. 3Maar Baruch, de zoon van Nerija, hitst u tegen ons op, opdat hij ons overgeve in de hand der Chaldeen, dat zij ons doden en ons gevankelijk naar Babel wegvoeren. 4Alzo gehoorzaamde Johanan, de zoon van Kareah, en al de oversten der heiren, en al het volk, der stem des HEEREN niet, om in het land van Juda te blijven. 5Maar Johanan, de zoon van Kareah, en al de oversten der heiren namen het ganse overblijfsel van Juda, die van al de heidenen, waar zij waren henengedreven, wedergekeerd waren, om in het land van Juda te wonen; 6De mannen, en de vrouwen, en de kinderkens, en des konings dochteren, en alle ziel, die Nebuzaradan, de overste der trawanten, bij Gedalia, den zoon van Ahikam, den zoon van Safan, gelaten had, ook den profeet Jeremia, en Baruch, den zoon van Nerija; 7En zij togen in Egypteland, want zij waren der stem des HEEREN niet gehoorzaam; en zij kwamen tot Tachpanhes. 8Toen geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot Jeremia te Tachpanhes, zeggende: 9Neem grote stenen in uw hand, en verberg ze in de klei in den ticheloven, die bij de deur van Farao's huis te Tachpanhes is, voor de ogen der Joodse mannen; 10En zeg tot hen: Zo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen, de God Israels: Ziet, Ik zal henenzenden, en Nebukadrezar, den koning van Babel, Mijn knecht, halen, en Ik zal zijn troon zetten boven op deze stenen, die Ik verborgen heb; en hij zal zijn schone tent daarover spannen. 11En hij zal komen en Egypteland slaan: wie ten dood, ten dode; en wie ter gevangenis, ter gevangenis; en wie ten zwaard, ten zwaarde. 12En Ik zal een vuur aansteken in de huizen der goden van Egypte, en hij zal ze verbranden, en gevankelijk wegvoeren; en hij zal Egypteland aantrekken, gelijk als een herder zijn kleed aantrekt, en hij zal van daar uittrekken in vrede. 13En hij zal de opgerichte beelden van Beth-Semes, hetwelk in Egypteland is, verbreken; en hij zal de huizen der goden van Egypte met vuur verbranden.
