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:

And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

2 »Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Jeg har sønderbrudt Babels Konges Aag.

These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: By me the yoke of the king of Babylon has been broken.

3 Om to Aar fører jeg tilbage hertil alle HERRENS Hus's Kar, som Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel tog herfra og førte til Babel;

In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place 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 let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

5 Profeten Jeremias svarede Profeten Hananja i Nærværelse af Præsterne og alt Folket, som stod i HERRENS Hus,

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into 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!

The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

7 Men hør dog dette Ord, som jeg vil tale til dig og alt Folket:

But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to 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, who were before me and before you, from early times gave word to a number of countries and great kingdoms about war and destruction and disease.

9 men naar en Profet profeterer om Fred, kendes den Profet, HERREN virkelig har sendt, paa, at hans Ord gaar i Opfyldelse.«

The prophet whose words are of peace, when his words come true, will be seen to be a prophet whom the Lord has sent.

10 Saa rev Profeten Hananja Aagstængerne af Profeten Jeremias's Hals og sønderbrød dem;

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.

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 before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.

12 Men efter at Profeten Hananja havde sønderbrudt Aagstængerne og revet dem af Profeten Jeremias's Hals, kom HERRENS Ord til Jeremias saaledes:

Then after the yoke had been broken off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah by Hananiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

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 say to Hananiah, This is what the Lord has said: Yokes of wood have been broken by you, but in their place I will make yokes 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 the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him 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 Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false.

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.«

For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

17 Og Profeten Hananja døde samme Aar i den syvende Maaned.

So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
