Jeremias 43

Jeremias é levado ao Egito pelo povo

1 *Jr 26.8;51.63Tendo Jeremias acabado de falar a *Jr 42.10-18todo o povo todas as palavras de Jeová, Deus deles, com as quais Jeová, Deus deles, o havia enviado a eles, sim tendo acabado de falar todas estas palavras, 2 falaram Azarias, *Jr 42.1filho de Hosaías, e Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os homens soberbos, dizendo a Jeremias: Tu *Jr 5.12-13;42.5;2Cr 36.13;Is 7.9dizes mentiras; Jeová nosso Deus não te enviou a dizer: Não entreis no Egito para ali peregrinardes. 3 Mas *Jr 43.6;Jr 36.4,10,26,32;45.1-3Baruque, filho de Nerias, te está incitando contra nós, *Jr 38.4para nos entregar nas mãos dos caldeus, a fim de que nos tirem a vida e nos levem cativos a Babilônia. 4 *Jr 42.5-6;44.5;2Cr 25.16Não obedeceram *Jr 42.6Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os capitães das forças, e todo o povo, à voz de Jeová, *Jr 42.10-12;Sl 37.3para morarem na terra de Judá. 5 Mas Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os capitães das forças, tomaram *Jr 40.11todo o resto de Judá que, para peregrinarem na terra de Judá, haviam voltado de todas as nações para as quais haviam sido arrojados, 6 os homens, e as mulheres, e os meninos, *Jr 41.10e as filhas do rei e *Jr 39.10;40.7toda a pessoa que Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, tinha deixado com Gedalias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, *Ec 9.1-2;Lm 3.1e o profeta Jeremias, e Baruque, filho de Nerias, 7 e entraram na terra do Egito; pois não obedeceram a voz de Jeová, e vieram até Tafnes.

Profecia da conquista do Egito por Nabucodonosor

8 Veio a palavra de Jeová *Sl 139.7;2Tm 2.9a Jeremias em *Jr 2.16;44.1;46.14;Ez 30.18Tafnes, dizendo: 9 Toma na tua mão pedras grandes, e esconde-as com barro no pavimento que está à entrada da casa de Faraó em Tafnes, à vista dos homens de Judá; 10 e dize-lhes: Assim diz Jeová dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que enviarei e tomarei *Jr 25.9;27.6;Is 44.28;45.1o meu servo, *Jr 25.9,11Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e porei o seu trono sobre estas pedras que escondi; e ele estenderá sobre elas o seu *Sl 18.11;27.5;31.20pavilhão real. 11 Virá e *Jr 25.15-19;46.1-2,13-26;Is 19.1-25;Ez 29.19-20ferirá a terra do Egito: *Jr 15.2os que são destinados para a morte, serão entregues à morte; os que para o cativeiro, ao cativeiro; e os que para a espada, à espada. 12 Eu farei pegar fogo nas casas dos *Jr 46.25;Êx 12.12;Is 19.1;Ez 30.13deuses do Egito, e o rei os queimará e os levará cativos; *Sl 104.2;109.18-19;Is 49.18vestir-se-á da terra do Egito, como se veste o pastor com a sua roupa; e sairá dali em paz. 13 Também quebrará as colunas de *Gn 41.45Bete-Semes, que está na terra do Egito, e incendiará as casas dos deuses do Egito.

1 When 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, 2 then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’ 3 but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon."

4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, 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, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah— 6 the men, the women, the children, 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. 7 They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 "Take 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. 10 Tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘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 will spread his royal pavilion over them. 11 He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword. 12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace. 13 He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’"
