¹And 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,

¹Zgodi se pa, ko je nehal Jeremija naznanjati vsemu ljudstvu vse besede GOSPODA, njih Boga, zavoljo katerih ga je poslal GOSPOD k njim, vse tiste besede,

²Then 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:

²da je rekel Azarija, sin Hosajev, in Johanan, sin Kareahov, in vsi oni prevzetni možje so rekli Jeremiju: Lažnivo govoriš! Ni te poslal GOSPOD, Bog naš, da veliš: Ne hodite v Egipt, da bi tam prebivali;

³But 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.

³temuč Baruh, Nerijev sin, te ščuje zoper nas, da nas dá v roko Kaldejcem, ki naj nas usmrte ali odpeljejo v Babilon.

⁴So 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.

⁴In ni poslušal Johanan, sin Kareahov, in vsi vojaški poveljniki in vse ljudstvo glasu GOSPODOVEGA, da bi ostali v deželi Judovi;

⁵But 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;

⁵ampak Johanan, Kareahov sin, in vsi vojaški poveljniki so vzeli vse ostanke Judove, ki so se bili vrnili od vseh narodov, kamor so bili odgnani, hoteč bivati v deželi Judovi:

⁶Even 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.

⁶može in žene, otroke in kraljeve hčere in vse duše, ki jih je bil ostavil Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, pri Gedaliju, sinu Ahikama, sina Safanovega, tudi proroka Jeremija in Baruha, Nerijevega sina,

⁷So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

⁷in napotili so se v deželo Egiptovsko, kajti niso poslušali glasu GOSPODOVEGA. In dospeli so v Tahpanhes.

⁸Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

⁸Prišla pa je beseda GOSPODOVA Jeremiju v Tahpanhesu, rekoč:

⁹Take 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;

⁹Vzemi v roko svojo velike kamene in jih skrij v ilovico ob opekarnici, ki je v Tahpanhesu pri vhodu v hišo Faraonovo, pred očmi mož Judovih;

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰in jim reci: Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Glej, jaz pošljem in vzamem Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, hlapca svojega, in prestol njegov postavim nad te kamene, ki sem jih skril, in nad njimi razpne svoj kraljevski šator.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Kajti pride in udari deželo Egiptovsko: kdor je za smrt, bode za smrt, in kdor za sužnost, za sužnost, in kdor pod meč, pod meč.

¹²And 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.

¹²In ogenj zažgem v hišah bogov egiptovskih, da jih požge in odpelje v ujetništvo. In obleče se v Egiptovsko deželo, kakor se pastir obleče v svoj plašč; in odide odtod v miru.In razbije stebre v Bet-semesu, ki je v deželi Egiptovski, in požge z ognjem hiše bogov egiptovskih.

¹³He 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.

¹³In razbije stebre v Bet-semesu, ki je v deželi Egiptovski, in požge z ognjem hiše bogov egiptovskih.
