Jeremias 28

1 Og det skete i dette Aar, i Begyndelsen af Judas Konge Zedekias's Regering, i det fjerde Aar, i den femte Maaned, at Profeten Hananias, Assurs Søn, som var fra Gibeon, sagde saaledes til mig i Herrens Hus, for Præsterne og alt Folkets Øjne:

That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Jeg har sønderbrudt Kongen af Babels Aag.

“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Inden et Par Aars Tid er omme, vil jeg føre tilbage til dette Sted alle Herrens Hus's Kar, som Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, tog fra dette Sted og førte til Babel.

Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.

4 Og Jekonias, Jojakims Søn, Judas Konge og alle bortførte af Juda, som ere komne til Babel, vil jeg føre tilbage til dette Sted, siger Herren; thi jeg vil sønderbryde Kongen af Babels Aag.

I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD; ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

5 Og Profeten Jeremias sagde til Profeten Hananias for Præsternes Øjne og for alt Folkets Øjne, medens de stode i Herrens Hus,

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the LORD’s house,

6 ja, Profeten Jeremias sagde: Amen! Herren gøre saa, Herren stadfæste dine Ord, som du har spaaet om, at han vil lade Herrens Hus's Kar og alle bortførte komme tilbage fra Babel til dette Sted!

even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so. May the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place.

7 Men hør kun dette Ord, som jeg taler for dine Øren og for alt Folkets Øren:

Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:

8 Profeterne, som have været før mig og før dig af fordums Tid, spaaede imod mange Lande og imod store Riger om Krig og om Ulykke og om Pest.

The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence.

9 Men naar Profeten spaar om Fred, saa vil han, naar Profetens Ord gaar i Opfyldelse, erkendes som den Profet, Herren i Sandhed har sendt.

As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.”

10 Da tog Profeten Hananias Aaget af Profeten Jeremias's Hals og sønderbrød det.

Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.

11 Og Hananias sagde saaledes for alt Folkets Øjne: Saa siger Herren: Saaledes vil jeg inden et Par Aars Tid er omme, bryde Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babels Aag af alle Folkenes Hals; og Profeten Jeremias gik sin Vej.

Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “The LORD says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Men Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, efter at Profeten Hananias havde brudt Aaget af Profeten Jeremias's Hals, og han sagde:

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

13 Gak og sig saaledes til Hananias: Saa siger Herren: Du har sønderbrudt Træaag, men du har gjort Jernaag i Stedet for.

“Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘The LORD says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron.”

14 Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Jeg har lagt et Jernaag paa alle disse Folks Hals, at de maa tjene Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, og de skulle tjene ham; ogsaa de vilde Dyr paa Marken har jeg givet ham.

For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”

15 Og Profeten Jeremias sagde til Profeten Hananias: Hør dog, Hananias! Herren har ikke sendt dig, og du har faaet dette Folk til at forlade sig paa Løgn.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.

16 Derfor, saa siger Herren: Se, jeg vil sende dig bort fra Jordens Kreds; i dette Aar skal du dø, thi du har prædiket Frafald fra Herren.

Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’”

17 Saa døde Profeten Hananias i det samme Aar, i den syvende Maaned.

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
