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, king of Judah, 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
the LORD says to me: “Make bonds and bars, 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;
Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers 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:
Give them a command to their masters, saying, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says, “You shall tell 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, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me.
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.
Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to 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.
All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.
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.
“‘“‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the 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,’ says the LORD, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with 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; «
But as for you, don’t listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You 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 a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would 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 brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,’ says the LORD; ‘and they will till it and dwell in it.’”’”
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.
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 you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has 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.
Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to 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,” says the LORD, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to 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.
Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, the LORD says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the LORD’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Hør dem ikke, men træl for Babels Konge, saa skal I leve. Hvorfor skal denne By lægges øde?
Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation?
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 LORD’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of Hosts, that the vessels which are left in the LORD’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t 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 the LORD of Hosts says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, 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 didn’t take when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and 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:
yes, the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in the LORD’s house, 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 carried to Babylon, and there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says the LORD; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”
