Jeremias 27
1 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første Regeringstid kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gør dig Reb og Aagstænger og læg dem paa din Hals
Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy 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 the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto 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 a charge unto their masters, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto 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, man and beast that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give them unto whom it seemeth right in mine eyes.
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 have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.
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 shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land also come, when many nations and great kings shall reduce him to servitude.
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 shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I visit, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
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 ye, hearken not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak unto you saying: Ye shall not serve 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 prophesy falsehood unto you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
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 the nation that bringeth its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serveth him, will I let remain still in its own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
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 spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
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 will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve 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 hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy falsehood unto you.
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, saith Jehovah, yet they prophesy falsely in my name; in order that I should drive you out, and that ye should perish, ye, and the prophets who prophesy unto you.
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 spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy falsehood unto you.
17 Hør dem ikke, men træl for Babels Konge, saa skal I leve. Hvorfor skal denne By lægges øde?
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city 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 be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not 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 thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
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 took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles 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:
yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in 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 shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day of my visiting them, saith Jehovah; then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
