Jeremias 27
1 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første Regeringstid kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
When Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gør dig Reb og Aagstænger og læg dem paa din Hals
This is what the Lord has said to me: Make for yourself bands and yokes and put them on your neck;
3 og send Edoms, Moabs, Ammoniternes, Tyrus's og Zidons Konger Bud ved deres Sendemænd, som er kommet til Kong Zedekias af Juda i Jerusalem;
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by their servants who come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah;
4 byd dem at sige til deres Herrer: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Sig til eders Herrer:
And give them orders to say to their masters, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Say to your masters,
5 Jeg skabte Jorden og Menneskene og Kvæget paa Jorden ved min vældige Styrke og min udrakte Haand, og jeg giver den, til hvem jeg finder for godt.
I have made the earth, and man and beast on the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I will give it to anyone at my pleasure.
6 Og nu giver jeg alle disse Lande i min Tjener Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Haand, selv Markens Vildt giver jeg hen til at trælle for ham.
And now I have given all these lands into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given the beasts of the field to him for his use.
7 Alle Folk skal trælle for ham, hans Søn og Sønnesøn, indtil ogsaa hans Lands Time slaar og mange Folkeslag og store Konger gør ham til deres Træl.
And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.
8 Og det Folk og det Rige, som ikke vil trælle for ham, Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel, og bøje Hals under Babels Konges Aag, det vil jeg hjemsøge med Sværd, Hunger og Pest, lyder det fra HERREN, til det er tilintetgjort ved hans Haand.
And it will come about, that if any nation does not become a servant to this same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will send punishment on that nation, says the Lord, by the sword and need of food and by disease, till I have given them into his hands.
9 I skal ikke høre paa eders Profeter og Spaamænd, eders Drømmere, Sandsigere og Troldmænd, som siger til eder: »I skal ikke komme til at trælle for Babels Konge; «
And you are not to give attention to your prophets or your readers of signs or your dreamers or those who see into the future or those who make use of secret arts, who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon:
10 thi det er Løgn, de profeterer for eder for at faa eder bort fra eders Jord, idet jeg da driver eder bort og I gaar til Grunde.
For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.
11 Men det Folk, der bøjer Hals under Babels Konges Aag og træller for ham, vil jeg lade blive paa sin Jord, lyder det fra HERREN, saa det kan dyrke den og bo der.
But as for that nation which puts its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and becomes his servant, I will let that nation keep on in its land, farming it and living in it, says the Lord.
12 Og til Kong Zedekias af Juda talte jeg i Overensstemmelse med alle disse Ord: Bøj Hals under Babels Konges Aag og træl for ham og hans Folk, saa skal I leve.
And I said all this to Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying, Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and become his servants and his people, so that you may keep your lives.
13 Hvorfor vil du og dit Folk dø ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest, saaledes som HERREN truede det Folk, der ikke vil trælle for Babels Konge?
Why are you desiring death, you and your people, by the sword, and because food is gone, and by disease, as the Lord has said of the nation which does not become the servant of the king of Babylon?
14 Hør ikke paa Profeternes Ord, naar de siger til eder: »I skal ikke komme til at trælle for Babels Konge«; thi Løgn profeterer de eder.
And you are not to give ear to the prophets who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon: for what they say is not true.
15 Jeg har ikke sendt dem, lyder det fra HERREN, og de profeterer Løgn i mit Navn, for at jeg skal bortstøde eder, saa I gaar til Grunde sammen med Profeterne, der profeterer for eder.
For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.
16 Og til Præsterne og alt dette Folk talte jeg saaledes: Saa siger HERREN: Hør ikke paa eders Profeters Ord, naar de profeterer for eder og siger: »Se, HERRENS Hus's Kar skal nu snart føres hjem fra Babel.« Thi Løgn profeterer de eder.
And I said to the priests and to all the people, This is what the Lord has said: Give no attention to the words of your prophets who say to you, See, in a very little time now the vessels of the Lord's house will come back again from Babylon: for what they say to you is false.
17 Hør dem ikke, men træl for Babels Konge, saa skal I leve. Hvorfor skal denne By lægges øde?
Give no attention to them; become servants of the king of Babylon and keep yourselves from death: why let this town become a waste?
18 Er de Profeter og har HERRENS Ord, saa lad dem gaa i Forbøn hos Hærskarers HERRE, at de Kar, der er tilbage i HERRENS Hus og Judas Konges Palads, ikke ogsaa skal komme til Babel.
But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make request to the Lord of armies that the vessels which are still in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
19 Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE om Søjlerne, Havet og Stellene og om de sidste Kar, der er tilbage i denne By,
For this is what the Lord has said about the rest of the vessels which are still in this town,
20 dem, som Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel ikke tog med, da han bortførte Jojakims Søn, Kong Jekonja af Juda, fra Jerusalem til Babel med alle de ypperste i Juda og Jerusalem,
Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 ja, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud, om de Kar, der er tilbage i HERRENS Hus og Judas Konges Palads og i Jerusalem:
For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about the rest of the vessels in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem:
22 De skal føres til Babel, og der skal de blive, til den Dag jeg tager mig af dem og fører dem op og bringer dem tilbage hertil, lyder det fra HERREN.
They will be taken away to Babylon, and there they will be till the day when I send their punishment on them, says the Lord. Then I will take them up and put them back in their place.
