Jeremia 43
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Judarna utvandrar till Egypten
43 När Jeremia hade avslutat sitt tal till folket och sagt dem alla de ord som Herren deras Gud hade sänt honom att tala till dem, 2 då svarade Asarja, Hoshajas son, och Johanan, Kareas son, och alla de andra självsäkra männen Jeremia och sade: ”Det är lögn det du säger! Herren vår Gud har inte sänt dig att säga: Ni ska inte bege er till Egypten för att bosätta er där. 3 Det är Baruk, Nerias son, som eggar upp dig mot oss för att vi ska överlämnas i kaldeernas hand, så att de dödar oss eller för oss bort i fångenskap till Babel.”
4 Varken Johanan, Kareas son, eller någon av befälen eller någon av folket ville lyda Herrens röst och stanna kvar i Juda land. 5 (A) I stället tog Johanan, Kareas son, och alla befälen med sig alla som fanns kvar i Juda och som hade återvänt från alla de hednafolk dit de hade varit fördrivna, för att bosätta sig i Juda land, 6 (B) både män, kvinnor och barn, kungadöttrarna och alla andra som Nebusaradan, översten för livvakterna, hade lämnat kvar hos Gedalja, Ahikams son, Shafans son, samt profeten Jeremia och Baruk, Nerias son. 7 De begav sig till Egyptens land, för de ville inte lyssna till Herrens röst. Och de kom till Tachpanches[a].
Profetia om härjningar i Egypten
8 Herrens ord kom till Jeremia i Tachpanches. Han sade: 9 ”Ta några stora stenar och göm dem i murbruket i tegelgolvet vid ingången till faraos hus[b] i Tachpanches. Gör detta så att de judiska männen ser det 10 och säg till dem: Så säger Herren Sebaot, Israels Gud: Se, jag ska sända bud och hämta min tjänare Nebukadressar[c], Babels kung, och hans tron ska jag sätta upp ovanpå de stenar som jag har gömt här, och han ska breda ut sin tronmatta över dem. 11 (C) För han ska komma och slå Egyptens land och ge åt döden dem som tillhör döden, åt fångenskapen dem som tillhör fångenskapen och åt svärdet dem som tillhör svärdet. 12 (D) Jag ska tända eld på Egyptens gudatempel, och han ska bränna upp dem och föra bort gudarna. Han ska svepa om sig Egyptens land liksom en herde sveper om sig sin mantel. Sedan ska han dra därifrån i frid. 13 Han ska slå sönder stoderna i Bet-Shemesh[d] i Egyptens land, och Egyptens gudatempel ska han bränna upp i eld.”

Jeremiah 43
EasyEnglish Bible
The people of Judah go to Egypt
43 Jeremiah finished telling the people the Lord's message to them. He told them everything that the Lord their God had sent him to tell them. 2 Then Hoshaiah's son Azariah and Kareah's son Johanan and some other proud men said to Jeremiah, ‘You are speaking lies! The Lord our God has not sent you to say to us, “You must not go to Egypt to live there.” 3 You are telling us what Neriah's son Baruch wants you to say. He wants to hurt us. He wants the soldiers from Babylon to kill us, or to take us as prisoners to Babylon.’
4 So Kareah's son Johanan, all the other army officers and all the other people did not obey the Lord's command. They refused to stay in Judah. 5 Instead, Johanan and all the officers led the people away. Those were the people who had returned from all the nations where their enemies had taken them as prisoners. They had returned to their homes in Judah. 6 Now the army officers led them away. They also took the men, women and children that Captain Nebuzaradan had allowed to remain with Gedaliah. They included the king's daughters. (Gedaliah was Ahikam's son and Shaphan's grandson.) They took the prophet Jeremiah and Neriah's son Baruch with them.
7 The people went to Egypt because they did not obey the Lord. They went as far as the city of Tahpanhes.
8 When they arrived in Tahpanhes, the Lord spoke to Jeremiah. 9 He said, ‘Choose some large stones and take them to Pharaoh's palace that is here in Tahpanhes. Bury the stones under the path at the entrance of the palace. Do it while the people of Judah are watching you. 10 Then say to the people, “The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this: I will call for my servant, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to come here. He will put his throne on the path over these stones that I have hidden. They will put up a royal tent for him to sit under. 11 He will come here and he will attack Egypt.
Those who should become ill and die will die.
Those who should go away as prisoners
will go away as prisoners.
Those who should die in war will die in war.
12 He will burn the temples of Egypt's gods with fire. He will burn their gods or he will carry them away. He will take everything that he wants from Egypt. He will return home in good health. 13 He will knock down the pillars of the temple where people worship their sun god. He will destroy all the temples of Egypt's gods.” ’
Jeremiah 43
King James Version
43 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah.
5 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 dwell in the land of Judah;
6 Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that 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.
7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
8 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 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 that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver 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 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: 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 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
