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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah: Stand in the court of the house of Jehovah, and speak to those who come from all the cities of Judah to worship in the house of Jehovah all the words which I have commanded thee to speak to them; abate 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 peradventure they will hearken and turn every one from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of their evil 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 to them, Thus saith Jehovah: 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 to you, rising early and sending, and 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 this city will I make a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENS Hus;
And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
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 when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, and said, 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 dost thou prophesy in the name of Jehovah, and say, This house shall be as Shiloh, and this city shall be made desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were assembled together against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
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, they went up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and sat in the entrance of the new gate of the house of Jehovah.
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 to 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 to all the princes and to all the people, saying: Jehovah hath sent me to prophesy against this house, and against this city, all the words which 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.
But now amend ye your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah, your God, and Jehovah will repent of the evil which 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!
And as for me, behold, I am in your hands; do to me as it seemeth good and right in your eyes.
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 its inhabitants; for of a truth Jehovah hath sent me to 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 to the priests and the prophets: This man is not worthy to die, for he hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, our God.
17 Og nogle af Landets Ældste traadte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
Certain elders of the land also rose up, and spoke 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 Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of stones, and the mountain of the house [[of Jehovah]] as the heights 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 to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and beseech Jehovah, so that Jehovah repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Shall we then bring so great an evil upon 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.
There was also another man that prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah, the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and 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, and 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,
But Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, 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 brought Urijah out of Egypt, and carried him to King Jehoiakim, 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 he should not be delivered into the hand of the people, to be put to death.
