Yer 43:1 Ketika Yeremia selesai mengatakan kepada seluruh rakyat segala firman TUHAN, Allah mereka, yang disuruh TUHAN, Allah mereka, disampaikannya kepada mereka, yaitu segala firman yang tersebut di atas,
Yer 43:2 maka berkatalah Azarya bin Hosaya dan Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua orang congkak itu kepada Yeremia: "Engkau berkata bohong! TUHAN, Allah kita, tidak mengutus engkau untuk berkata: Janganlah pergi ke Mesir untuk tinggal sebagai orang asing di sana,
Yer 43:3 tetapi Barukh bin Neria menghasut engkau terhadap kami dengan maksud untuk menyerahkan kami ke dalam tangan orang-orang Kasdim, supaya mereka membunuh kami dan mengangkut kami ke dalam pembuangan ke Babel."
Yer 43:4 Demikianlah Yohanan bin Kareah dan semua perwira tentara serta seluruh rakyat tidak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN untuk tinggal di tanah Yehuda.
Yer 43:5 Lalu Yohanan bin Kareah dan semua perwira tentara itu mengumpulkan seluruh sisa Yehuda, yakni semua orang yang telah kembali dari antara segala bangsa, ke mana mereka telah berserak-serak, untuk menetap di tanah Yehuda,
Yer 43:6 laki-laki, perempuan, anak-anak, puteri-puteri raja dan setiap orang yang telah dibiarkan Nebuzaradan, kepala pasukan pengawal, pada Gedalya bin Ahikam bin Safan; juga nabi Yeremia dan Barukh bin Neria.
Yer 43:7 Lalu mereka pergi ke tanah Mesir, sebab mereka tidak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN. Maka sampailah mereka di Tahpanhes.
Yeremia bernubuat bahwa Mesir akan ditaklukkan oleh Nebukadnezar
Yer 43:8 Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia di Tahpanhes, bunyinya:
Yer 43:9 "Ambillah di tanganmu batu-batu besar dan sembunyikanlah itu di tanah liat dekat pintu masuk istana Firaun di Tahpanhes di hadapan mata orang-orang Yehuda itu,
Yer 43:10 lalu katakanlah kepada mereka: Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya, Aku mengutus orang untuk menjemput Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, hamba-Ku itu, supaya ia mendirikan takhtanya di atas batu-batu yang telah Kusuruh sembunyikan ini, dan membentangkan permadani kebesarannya di atasnya.
Yer 43:11 Dan apabila ia datang, ia akan memukul tanah Mesir: Yang ke maut, ke mautlah! Yang ke tawanan, ke tawananlah! Yang ke pedang, ke pedanglah!
Yer 43:12 Ia akan menyalakan api di kuil-kuil para allah Mesir dan akan membakar atau mengangkutnya sebagai tawanan. Dan ia akan membersihkan tanah Mesir dari kutu-kutu seperti seorang gembala membersihkan pakaiannya dari kutu-kutu, kemudian ia akan pergi dari sana tanpa gangguan.
Yer 43:13 Ia akan memecahkan tugu-tugu berhala Bet-Syemes yang ada di Mesir dan akan menghanguskan kuil para allah Mesir itu dengan api."
Jer 43:1 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,
Jer 43:2 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:
Jer 43:3 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.
Jer 43:4 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.
Jer 43:5 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;
Jer 43:6 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.
Jer 43:7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
Jer 43:8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Jer 43:9 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;
Jer 43:10 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.
Jer 43:11 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.
Jer 43:12 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.
Jer 43:13 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.
