Jeremias 28
1 Kong Zedekias af Judas fjerde Regeringsaar i den femte Maaned sagde Profeten Hananja, Azzurs Søn, fra Gibeon til mig i HERRENS Hus i Præsternes og alt Folkets Nærværelse:
In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:
2 »Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Jeg har sønderbrudt Babels Konges Aag.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Om to Aar fører jeg tilbage hertil alle HERRENS Hus's Kar, som Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel tog herfra og førte til Babel;
Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.
4 og Jojakims Søn, Kong Jekonja af Juda, og alle de landflygtige fra Juda, som kom til Babel, fører jeg tilbage hertil, lyder det fra HERREN; thi jeg sønderbryder Babels Konges Aag.«
And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
5 Profeten Jeremias svarede Profeten Hananja i Nærværelse af Præsterne og alt Folket, som stod i HERRENS Hus,
Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.
6 saaledes: »Amen! Maatte HERREN gøre saaledes og stadfæste, hvad du har profeteret, og føre HERRENS Hus's Kar og alle de landflygtige fra Babel tilbage hertil!
“Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.
7 Men hør dog dette Ord, som jeg vil tale til dig og alt Folket:
Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
8 De Profeter, som levede før mig og dig fra Fortids Dage, profeterede mod mange Lande og mægtige Riger om Krig, Hunger og Pest;
The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.
9 men naar en Profet profeterer om Fred, kendes den Profet, HERREN virkelig har sendt, paa, at hans Ord gaar i Opfyldelse.«
As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”
10 Saa rev Profeten Hananja Aagstængerne af Profeten Jeremias's Hals og sønderbrød dem;
Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
11 og Hananja sagde i alt Folkets Nærværelse: »Saa siger HERREN: Saaledes sønderbryder jeg om to Aar Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Aag og tager det fra alle Folkenes Hals.« Men Profeten Jeremias gik sin Vej.
And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
12 Men efter at Profeten Hananja havde sønderbrudt Aagstængerne og revet dem af Profeten Jeremias's Hals, kom HERRENS Ord til Jeremias saaledes:
But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
13 »Gaa hen og sig til Hananja: Saa siger HERREN: Du har sønderbrudt Aagstænger af Træ, men jeg vil lave Aagstænger af Jern i Stedet.
“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’
14 Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Et Jernaag lægger jeg paa alle disse Folks Hals, at de maa trælle for Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel; de skal trælle for ham, selv Markens Vildt har jeg givet ham.«
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”
15 Saa sagde Profeten Jeremias til Profeten Hananja: »Hør, Hananja! HERREN har ikke sendt dig, og du har faaet dette Folk til at slaa Lid til Løgn.
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie.
16 Derfor, saa siger HERREN: Se, jeg slænger dig bort fra Jordens Flade; du skal dø i Aar, thi du har prædiket Frafald fra HERREN.«
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
17 Og Profeten Hananja døde samme Aar i den syvende Maaned.
And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died.
