Jeremias 39
1 — i Judas Konges, Zedekias's, niende Aar, i den tiende Maaned, kom Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, og al hans Hær til Jerusalem, og de belejrede den.
And it came to pass, when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
2 I Zedekias's ellevte Aar, i den fjerde Maaned, paa den niende Dag i Maaneden, brød man ind i Staden.
and in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, was the city broken into, )
3 Og alle Kongen af Babels Fyrster droge ind, og de satte sig i den mellemste Port: Nergal-Sarezer, Samger-Nebo, Sarsekim-Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer-Rabmag og alle Babels Konges øvrige Fyrster.
that all the chieftains of the king of Babylon came, and stationed themselves in the middle gate, Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, prefect of the eunuchs, Nergalsharezer, prefect of the magians, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Og det skete, at Zedekias, Judas Konge, og alle Krigsmændene, der de saa dem, flyede og gik om Natten ud af Staden, ad Vejen til Kongens Have, igennem Porten imellem de to Mure; og han drog ud ad Vejen til Sletten.
And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and all the men of war, saw them, they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and they went forth toward the plain.
5 Men Kaldæernes Hær forfulgte dem, og de naaede Zedekias paa Sletten ved Jeriko og grebe ham og førte ham op til Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, til Ribla i Hamats Land; og han holdt Ret over ham.
But the army of the Chaldaeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment concerning him.
6 Og Kongen af Babel ihjelslog Zedekias's Børn i Ribla for hans Øjne; og Kongen af Babel ihjelslog alle de ypperste i Juda.
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes; and all the nobles of Judah did the king of Babylon slay.
7 Og man blindede Zedekias's Øjne og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Og Kaldæerne opbrændte Kongens Hus og Folkets Huse med Ild; og de nedbrøde Jerusalems Mure.
And the Chaldaeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Og de øvrige af Folket, som vare blevne tilbage i Staden, og de frafaldne, som vare gaaede over til ham, de øvrige af Folket, som vare blevne tilbage, dem bortførte Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, til Babel.
And the residue of the people that remained in the city, and the deserters who had come over to him, the residue of the people that remained, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried away to Babylon.
10 Men af det fattige Folk, som ikke ejede noget, lod Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, nogle blive tilbage i Judas Land; og han gav dem Vingaarde og Agre paa den samme Dag.
But the poor of the people, who had nothing, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Men Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, gav Befaling om Jeremias, ved Nebuzar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten og sagde:
And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, saying,
12 Tag ham og lad dine Øjne være over ham og gør ham ikke noget ondt; men eftersom han taler til dig, saa gør du med ham.
“Take him, and have thine eyes upon him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to you.”
13 Da sendte Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten og Nebusasban-Rabsaris og Nergal-Sarezer-Rabmag og alle Kongen af Babels Stormænd
Then sent Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, and Nebushasban, prefect of the eunuchs, and Nergalsharezer, prefect of the magians, and all the princes of the king of Babylon,
14 de sendte Bud og toge Jeremias ud af Fængselets Forgaard og overgave ham til Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, for at føre ham til Huset; og han boede midt iblandt Folket.
they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home; and he dwelt among the people.
15 Og Herrens Ord var kommet til Jeremias, der han var indelukket i Fængselets Forgaard, saalunde:
Now the word of Jehovah had come to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying:
16 Gaa og sig til Kusiten Ebed-Melek: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil lade mine Ord komme over denne Stad til det onde og ikke til det gode; og de skulle opfyldes for dit Ansigt den Dag;
Go and speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, and say: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good, and with thine own eyes shalt thou see it in that day.
17 men dig vil jeg redde paa den Dag, siger Herren; og du skal ikke gives i de Mænds Haand, for hvis Ansigt du gruer.
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
18 Thi jeg vil visselig lade dig undkomme, og du skal ikke falde for Sværdet, men du skal have din Sjæl som et Bytte; thi du forlod dig paa mig, siger Herren.
But I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be to thee as a prey; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Jehovah.
