Jeremias 26
1 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første Regeringstid kom dette Ord fra HERREN:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from Yhwh, saying,
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!
Thus saith Yhwh; Stand in the court of Yhwh's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yhwh's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not 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.
If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
4 Sig til dem: Saa siger HERREN: Hvis I ikke hører mig og følger den Lov, jeg har forelagt eder,
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh; If ye will not hearken to me, to 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,
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
6 saa gør jeg med dette Hus som med Silo og giver alle Jordens Folk denne By at forbande ved.
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENS Hus;
So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yhwh.
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!
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yhwh had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt 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.
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Yhwh, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Yhwh.
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 princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house unto the house of Yhwh, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of Yhwh's house.
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 spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your 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.
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, Yhwh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye 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.
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Yhwh your God; And Yhwh will repent him of the evil that he hath 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, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
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 ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth Yhwh hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
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 said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of Yhwh our God.
17 Og nogle af Landets Ældste traadte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
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 Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
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 and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear Yhwh, and besought Yhwh, And Yhwh repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
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.
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of Yhwh, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath–jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
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.
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22 Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
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.
And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Haanden over Jeremias, saa han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Haand og dræbt.
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
