Jeremias 26
1 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første Regeringstid kom dette Ord fra HERREN:
At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
2 Saa siger HERREN: Staa frem i Forgaarden til HERRENS Hus og tal til hele Juda, som kommer for at tilbede i HERRENS Hus, alle de Ord, jeg har paalagt dig at tale til dem; udelad ikke et Ord!
“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.
3 Maaske hører de og omvender sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, saa jeg kan angre det onde, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem for deres onde Gerningers Skyld.
Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
4 Sig til dem: Saa siger HERREN: Hvis I ikke hører mig og følger den Lov, jeg har forelagt eder,
And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,
5 saa I hører mine Tjenere Profeternes Ord, som jeg aarle og silde sendte eder, skønt I ikke vilde høre,
and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,
6 saa gør jeg med dette Hus som med Silo og giver alle Jordens Folk denne By at forbande ved.
then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’”
7 Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENS Hus;
Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,
8 og da Jeremias havde sagt alt, hvad HERREN havde paalagt ham at sige til alt Folket, greb Præsterne og Profeterne og alt Folket ham og sagde: »Du skal dø!
and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!
9 Hvor tør du profetere i HERRENS Navn og sige: Det skal gaa dette Hus som Silo, og denne By skal ødelægges, saa ingen bor der!« Og alt Folket stimlede sammen om Jeremias i HERRENS Hus.
How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
10 Da Judas Fyrster hørte det, gik de fra Kongens Palads op til HERRENS Hus og tog Sæde ved Indgangen til HERRENS nye Port.
When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate.
11 Saa sagde Præsterne og Profeterne til Fyrsterne og alt Folket: »Denne Mand har gjort halsløs Gerning, thi han har profeteret mod denne By, som I selv hørte.«
Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears!”
12 Men Jeremias sagde til Fyrsterne og alt Folket: »HERREN sendte mig for at profetere mod dette Hus og denne By alle de Ord, I hørte.
But Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13 Bedrer dog eders Veje og eders Gerninger og hør paa HERREN eders Guds Røst, at HERREN maa angre det onde, han har talet imod eder.
So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster He has pronounced against you.
14 Men se, jeg er i eders Haand; gør med mig, hvad der er godt og billigt i eders Øjne!
As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right.
15 Dog skal I vide, at hvis I dræber mig, saa bringer I uskyldigt Blod over eder og denne By og dens Indbyggere; thi sandelig sendte HERREN mig for at tale alle disse Ord til eder.«
But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its residents; for truly the LORD has sent me to speak all these words in your hearing.”
16 Da sagde Fyrsterne og alt Folket til Præsterne og Profeterne: »Denne Mand har ikke gjort halsløs Gerning, men talt til os i HERREN vor Guds Navn.«
Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God!”
17 Og nogle af Landets Ældste traadte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
Some of the elders of the land stood up and said to the whole assembly of the people,
18 »Mika fra Moresjet profeterede paa Kong Ezekias af Judas Tid og sagde til alt Judas Folk: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Zion skal pløjes som en Mark, Jerusalem blive til Grushobe, Tempelbjerget til Krathøj.
“Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’
19 Mon Kong Ezekias af Juda og hele Juda dræbte ham? Frygtede de ikke HERREN og bad ham om Naade, saa HERREN angrede det onde, han havde truet dem med? Vi er ved at bringe stor Ulykke over vore Sjæle.«
Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”
20 Der var ogsaa en anden Mand, som profeterede i HERRENS Navn, Urija, Sjemajas Søn, fra Kirjat-Jearim; og han profeterede mod denne By og dette Land med de samme Ord som Jeremias.
Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did.
21 Da Kong Jojakim og alle hans Krigsfolk og alle Fyrsterne hørte hans Ord, stod han ham efter Livet; og da Urija hørte det, blev han bange og flygtede og kom til Ægypten.
King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.
22 Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men.
23 og de bragte Urija hjem fra Ægypten og førte ham til Kong Jojakim, som lod ham hugge ned med Sværdet og hans Lig kaste hen, hvor Smaafolk havde deres Grave.
They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.
24 Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Haanden over Jeremias, saa han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Haand og dræbt.
Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.
