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 son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been 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 said Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all [those of] the cities of Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them, thou dost not diminish 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 hearken, and turn back each from his evil way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to 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 hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I 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 am sending unto you, yea, 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 I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all 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, hear 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 it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's speaking all that Jehovah hath commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, Thou dost 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.
Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, 'As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto 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.
And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of Jehovah, and sit in the opening of the new gate 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.«
And the priests and the prophets speak unto the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Judgment of death [is] for this man, 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.
And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning 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.
And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent concerning the evil that He hath spoken against you.
14 Men se, jeg er i eders Haand; gør med mig, hvad der er godt og billigt i eders Øjne!
'And I, lo, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is 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.«
Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.'
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.«
And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and unto the prophets, 'There is not for this man a judgment of death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto us.'
17 Og nogle af Landets Ældste traadte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
And certain of the elders of the land rise up, and speak unto 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 Morashtite hath been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he saith unto all the people of Judah, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for 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.«
'Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing 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 also there hath been a man prophesying in the name of Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesieth 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 the king Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeketh to put him to death, and Urijah heareth, and feareth, and fleeth, and goeth in to Egypt.
22 Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
And the king Jehoiakim sendeth men to Egypt — Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him unto 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 bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him in unto the king Jehoiakim, and he smiteth him with a sword, and casteth his corpse unto the graves of the sons of the people.'
24 Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Haanden over Jeremias, saa han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Haand og dræbt.
Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan hath been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
