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, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his force unto Jerusalem, and they lay siege against it;
2 I Zedekias's ellevte Aar, i den fjerde Maaned, paa den niende Dag i Maaneden, brød man ind i Staden.
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, hath the city been 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 come in do all the heads of the king of Babylon, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, chief of the eunuchs, Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the rest of the heads 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 cometh to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah, and all the men of war, have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goeth forth 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.
And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him — judgments.
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 slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, yea, all the freemen of Judah hath the king of Babylon slaughtered.
7 Og man blindede Zedekias's Øjne og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
And the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him with brazen fetters, to bring him in to Babylon.
8 Og Kaldæerne opbrændte Kongens Hus og Folkets Huse med Ild; og de nedbrøde Jerusalems Mure.
And the house of the king, and the house of the people, have the Chaldeans burnt with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem they have broken down.
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 remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, removed [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.
And of the poor people, who have nothing, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left in the land of Judah, and he giveth to them vineyards and fields on the same day.
11 Men Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, gav Befaling om Jeremias, ved Nebuzar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten og sagde:
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon giveth a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, 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 place thine eyes upon him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaketh unto thee, so do with him.'
13 Da sendte Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten og Nebusasban-Rabsaris og Nergal-Sarezer-Rabmag og alle Kongen af Babels Stormænd
And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners sendeth, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the chiefs 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.
yea, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwelleth in the midst of the people.
15 Og Herrens Ord var kommet til Jeremias, der han var indelukket i Fængselets Forgaard, saalunde:
And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been — in his being detained 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 thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good, and they have been before thee 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.
And I have delivered thee in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah — and thou art not given into the hand of the men of whose face 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 do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
