Jeremía 42
Icelandic Bible
42 Þá komu allir hershöfðingjarnir og meðal þeirra Jóhanan Kareason og Asarja Hósajason og allur lýðurinn, bæði smáir og stórir,
2 og sögðu við Jeremía spámann: "Veit oss auðmjúka bæn vora og bið þú til Drottins, Guðs þíns, fyrir oss, fyrir öllum þessum leifum, sem vér erum, því að fáir erum vér eftir orðnir af mörgum, eins og þú sjálfur sér á oss.
3 Bið þú þess, að Drottinn, Guð þinn, gjöri oss kunnan þann veg, er vér eigum að fara, og það, sem vér eigum að gjöra."
4 En Jeremía spámaður sagði við þá: "Gott og vel! Ég skal biðja til Drottins, Guðs yðar, samkvæmt tilmælum yðar, og allt það, er Drottinn svarar yður, það skal ég segja yður. Engu skal ég leyna yður."
5 Og þeir sögðu við Jeremía: "Drottinn sé sannur og áreiðanlegur vottur gegn oss! Vér munum með öllu fara eftir þeim orðum, er Drottinn, Guð þinn, sendir þig með til vor,
6 hvort sem það verður gott eða illt. Skipun Drottins, Guðs vors, sem vér sendum þig til, viljum vér hlýða, til þess að oss megi vel vegna, er vér hlýðum skipun Drottins, Guðs vors."
7 Og að tíu dögum liðnum kom orð Drottins til Jeremía,
8 og hann kallaði Jóhanan Kareason og alla hershöfðingjana saman, sem með honum voru, og allan lýðinn, bæði smáa og stóra,
9 og sagði við þá: Svo segir Drottinn, Ísraels Guð, er þér senduð mig til, að ég bæri fram fyrir hann auðmjúka bæn yðar:
10 Ef þér búið kyrrir í þessu landi, vil ég uppbyggja yður og ekki rífa niður, og ég vil gróðursetja yður og ekki uppræta, því að mig iðrar hins illa, er ég hefi gjört yður.
11 Óttist ekki Babelkonung, sem þér nú óttist, óttist hann ekki _ segir Drottinn _ því að ég er með yður til þess að hjálpa yður og til þess að frelsa yður undan hans valdi.
12 Og ég vil veita yður þá miskunn, að hann miskunni yður og láti yður snúa aftur heim í land yðar.
13 En ef þér segið: "Vér viljum eigi búa kyrrir í þessu landi!" og hlýðið eigi skipun Drottins, Guðs yðar,
14 en segið: "Nei, heldur viljum vér fara til Egyptalands, svo að vér þurfum ekki að sjá stríð, né heyra lúðurþyt, né hungra eftir brauði, og þar viljum vér setjast að!" _
15 þá heyrið nú þess vegna orð Drottins, þér leifar Júdamanna: Svo segir Drottinn allsherjar, Ísraels Guð: Ef þér eruð alvarlega að hugsa um að fara til Egyptalands og komist þangað, til þess að dveljast þar sem flóttamenn,
16 þá skal sverðið, sem þér nú óttist, ná yður þar, í Egyptalandi, og hungrið, sem þér nú hræðist, skal elta yður til Egyptalands, og þar skuluð þér deyja.
17 Og allir þeir menn, sem eru að hugsa um að fara til Egyptalands, til þess að dveljast þar sem flóttamenn, skulu deyja fyrir sverði og af hungri og drepsótt, og enginn þeirra skal sleppa við né komast undan ógæfu þeirri, er ég leiði yfir þá.
18 Því að svo segir Drottinn allsherjar, Ísraels Guð: Eins og reiði minni og heift var úthellt yfir Jerúsalembúa, svo skal og heift minni úthellt verða yfir yður, er þér farið til Egyptalands, og þér skuluð verða að formæling, að skelfing, að bölbænarformála og að háðung, og eigi framar sjá þennan stað.
19 Drottinn hefir svo til yðar talað, þér leifar Júdamanna: Farið eigi til Egyptalands! Vita skuluð þér, að nú hefi ég varað yður við.
20 Því að þér dróguð sjálfa yður á tálar, er þér senduð mig til Drottins, Guðs yðar, og sögðuð: "Bið til Drottins, Guðs vors, fyrir oss og seg oss nákvæmlega svo frá sem Drottinn, Guð vor, mælir, og vér skulum gjöra það!"
21 Nú hefi ég sagt yður frá því í dag, en þér hafið ekki hlýtt skipun Drottins, Guðs yðar, viðvíkjandi öllu því, er hann hefir sent mig með til yðar.
22 Og vita skuluð þér nú, að þér munuð deyja fyrir sverði, af hungri og drepsótt á þeim stað, þangað sem yður lystir að fara, til þess að dveljast þar sem flóttamenn.
Jeremiah 42
New International Version
Jeremiah 42
New International Version
42 Then all the army officers, including Johanan(A) son of Kareah and Jezaniah[a] son of Hoshaiah,(B) and all the people from the least to the greatest(C) approached 2 Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, “Please hear our petition and pray(D) to the Lord your God for this entire remnant.(E) For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few(F) are left. 3 Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.”(G)
4 “I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will certainly pray(H) to the Lord your God as you have requested; I will tell(I) you everything the Lord says and will keep nothing back from you.”(J)
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true(K) and faithful(L) witness(M) against us if we do not act in accordance with everything the Lord your God sends you to tell us. 6 Whether it is favorable or unfavorable, we will obey the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it will go well(N) with us, for we will obey(O) the Lord our God.”
7 Ten days later the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. 8 So he called together Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers(P) who were with him and all the people from the least to the greatest.(Q) 9 He said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition,(R) says:(S) 10 ‘If you stay in this land,(T) I will build(U) you up and not tear you down; I will plant(V) you and not uproot you,(W) for I have relented concerning the disaster I have inflicted on you.(X) 11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon,(Y) whom you now fear.(Z) Do not be afraid of him, declares the Lord, for I am with you and will save(AA) you and deliver you from his hands.(AB) 12 I will show you compassion(AC) so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.’(AD)
13 “However, if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and so disobey(AE) the Lord your God, 14 and if you say, ‘No, we will go and live in Egypt,(AF) where we will not see war or hear the trumpet(AG) or be hungry for bread,’(AH) 15 then hear the word of the Lord,(AI) you remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there, 16 then the sword(AJ) you fear(AK) will overtake you there, and the famine(AL) you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.(AM) 17 Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague;(AN) not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.’ 18 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and wrath(AO) have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem,(AP) so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be a curse[b](AQ) and an object of horror,(AR) a curse[c] and an object of reproach;(AS) you will never see this place again.’(AT)
19 “Remnant(AU) of Judah, the Lord has told you, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’(AV) Be sure of this: I warn you today 20 that you made a fatal mistake when you sent me to the Lord your God and said, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us; tell us everything he says and we will do it.’(AW) 21 I have told you today, but you still have not obeyed the Lord your God in all he sent me to tell you.(AX) 22 So now, be sure of this: You will die by the sword, famine(AY) and plague(AZ) in the place where you want to go to settle.”(BA)

Jeremiah 42
King James Version
Jeremiah 42
King James Version
42 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
3 That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.
7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
15 And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
19 The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and according unto all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
