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:

It happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh's house in front of the priests and all the people. He said,

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

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have broken the yoke imposed by 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 years I will bring back to this place all the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took from this place and transported 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.

Then I will bring back to this place Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah who were sent to Babylon—this is Yahweh's declaration—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,

So Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet in front of the priests and to all the people who stood in Yahweh'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!

Jeremiah the prophet said, “May Yahweh do this! May Yahweh confirm the words that you prophesied and bring back to this place the objects belonging to Yahweh's house, and all the captives from Babylon.

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

However, listen to the word that I am proclaiming in your hearing and in the hearing 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 existed before me and you from long ago also prophesied about many nations and against great kingdoms, about war, famine, and plague.

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.

So the prophet who prophesies that there will be peace—if his word comes true, then it will be known that he is indeed a prophet sent out by Yahweh.”

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

But Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet 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.

Then Hananiah spoke in front of all the people and said, “Yahweh says this: Just like this, within two years I will break from off the neck of every nation the yoke imposed by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.” Then Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

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

After Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of Yahweh came to 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 speak to Hananiah and say, 'Yahweh says this: You broke a yoke of wood, but I will make instead a yoke 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all of these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have also given him the wild beasts in the fields to rule over.”

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.

Next Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to believe in lies.

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.

So Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to send you out from the earth. You will die this year, since you proclaimed rebellion against Yahweh.”

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

In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
