< 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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they 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, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
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.
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, [even] Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue 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 it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of 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 Chaldeans' army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon 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.
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
7 Og man blindede Zedekias's Øjne og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Og Kaldæerne opbrændte Kongens Hus og Folkets Huse med Ild; og de nedbrøde Jerusalems Mure.
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and 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.
Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
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 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, 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:
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the 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 look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to thee.
13 Da sendte Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten og Nebusasban-Rabsaris og Nergal-Sarezer-Rabmag og alle Kongen af Babels Stormænd
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
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.
Even 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: so 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 the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was confined 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 Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before thee.
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 the LORD: 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.
For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey to thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
