Jeremiah 43
New Living Translation
Jeremiah Taken to Egypt
43 When Jeremiah had finished giving this message from the Lord their God to all the people, 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other proud men said to Jeremiah, “You lie! The Lord our God hasn’t forbidden us to go to Egypt! 3 Baruch son of Neriah has convinced you to say this, because he wants us to stay here and be killed by the Babylonians[a] or be carried off into exile.”
4 So Johanan and the other military leaders and all the people refused to obey the Lord’s command to stay in Judah. 5 Johanan and the other leaders took with them all the people who had returned from the nearby countries to which they had fled. 6 In the crowd were men, women, and children, the king’s daughters, and all those whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had left with Gedaliah. The prophet Jeremiah and Baruch were also included. 7 The people refused to obey the voice of the Lord and went to Egypt, going as far as the city of Tahpanhes.
8 Then at Tahpanhes, the Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 9 “While the people of Judah are watching, take some large rocks and bury them under the pavement stones at the entrance of Pharaoh’s palace here in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will certainly bring my servant Nebuchadnezzar,[b] king of Babylon, here to Egypt. I will set his throne over these stones that I have hidden. He will spread his royal canopy over them. 11 And when he comes, he will destroy the land of Egypt. He will bring death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and war to those destined for war. 12 He will set fire to the temples of Egypt’s gods; he will burn the temples and carry the idols away as plunder. He will pick clean the land of Egypt as a shepherd picks fleas from his cloak. And he himself will leave unharmed. 13 He will break down the sacred pillars standing in the temple of the sun[c] in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of Egypt’s gods.’”
Jeremia 43
Hoffnung für Alle
Jeremias Warnung wird überhört (2. Könige 25,26)
43 Jeremia hatte den Judäern alles verkündet, was er ihnen im Auftrag des Herrn, ihres Gottes, sagen sollte. 2 Da erwiderten Asarja, der Sohn von Hoschaja, Johanan, der Sohn von Kareach, und die anderen Männer verächtlich: »Du lügst! Der Herr, unser Gott, hat dich nicht zu uns gesandt. Er hat uns nicht davor gewarnt, nach Ägypten zu fliehen und uns dort niederzulassen. 3 Baruch, der Sohn von Nerija, steckt dahinter; er hetzt dich gegen uns auf! Er will doch nur, dass wir den Babyloniern in die Hände fallen, damit sie uns umbringen oder verschleppen!«
4 So schlugen Johanan, die anderen Offiziere und alle, die zu Jeremia gekommen waren, die Weisung des Herrn in den Wind und blieben nicht in Juda. 5 Sie machten sich auf den Weg und nahmen alle Judäer mit, die aus den Nachbarländern zurückgekehrt waren, in denen sie Schutz gesucht hatten: 6 Männer, Frauen und Kinder sowie die Töchter des Königs und alle anderen, die Nebusaradan, der Oberbefehlshaber der babylonischen Leibwache, unter Gedaljas Aufsicht zurückgelassen hatte. Auch der Prophet Jeremia und Baruch, der Sohn von Nerija, mussten mitkommen. 7 So missachteten sie die Weisung des Herrn und zogen nach Ägypten bis zur Grenzstadt Tachpanhes.
Auch Ägypten wird besiegt
8 In Tachpanhes empfing Jeremia eine Botschaft vom Herrn: 9 »Hol ein paar große Steine und vergrab sie im Lehmboden unter dem Ziegelweg am Eingang zum Palast des Pharaos! Die Judäer sollen dir dabei zusehen. 10 Sag ihnen: So spricht der Herr, der allmächtige Gott Israels: Ich lasse meinen Diener, König Nebukadnezar von Babylonien, in dieses Land einfallen und seinen Thron über diesen Steinen errichten, die Jeremia hier in meinem Auftrag vergraben hat. Über ihnen wird Nebukadnezar seinen Baldachin ausbreiten. 11 Ja, er wird kommen und Ägypten besiegen. Wer für den Tod bestimmt ist, wird sterben, wer für die Gefangenschaft bestimmt ist, wird in die Gefangenschaft ziehen, und wer im Krieg umkommen soll, wird im Krieg umkommen. 12-13 Nebukadnezar wird[a] die Tempel niederbrennen und die ägyptischen Götterstatuen mitnehmen. Wie ein Hirte die Läuse von seinem Gewand aufliest, so wird er in Ägypten alles packen und zerstören. Er reißt die Steinsäulen von Heliopolis[b] nieder und steckt die Tempel der ägyptischen Götter in Brand. Dann zieht er unbehelligt fort.«
Jeremiah 43
New International Version
43 When Jeremiah had finished telling the people all the words of the Lord their God—everything the Lord had sent him to tell them(A)— 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah(B) and Johanan(C) son of Kareah and all the arrogant(D) men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying!(E) The Lord our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to settle there.’(F) 3 But Baruch(G) son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Babylonians,[a] so they may kill us or carry us into exile to Babylon.”(H)
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people(I) disobeyed the Lord’s command(J) to stay in the land of Judah.(K) 5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered.(L) 6 They also led away all those whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan—the men, the women,(M) the children and the king’s daughters. And they took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch(N) son of Neriah along with them. 7 So they entered Egypt(O) in disobedience to the Lord and went as far as Tahpanhes.(P)
8 In Tahpanhes(Q) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 9 “While the Jews are watching, take some large stones(R) with you and bury them in clay in the brick(S) pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace(T) in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant(U) Nebuchadnezzar(V) king of Babylon, and I will set his throne(W) over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy(X) above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt,(Y) bringing death(Z) to those destined(AA) for death, captivity to those destined for captivity,(AB) and the sword to those destined for the sword.(AC) 12 He will set fire(AD) to the temples(AE) of the gods(AF) of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive.(AG) As a shepherd picks(AH) his garment clean of lice, so he will pick Egypt clean and depart. 13 There in the temple of the sun[b](AI) in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars(AJ) and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
