Jeremias 36
1 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde Regeringsaar kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
This message from the Lord came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
2 »Tag dig en Bogrulle og skriv deri alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig om Jerusalem og Juda og om alle Folkene, fra den Dag jeg først talede til dig, fra Josias's Dage og til den Dag i Dag.
Get a scroll and write down everything I've told you condemning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations, from the time I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah right up till now.
3 Maaske vil Judas Hus mærke sig al den Ulykke, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem, for at de maa omvende sig hver fra sin onde Vej, saa jeg kan tilgive deres Brøde og Synd.«
Maybe when the people of Judah hear about all the disasters I plan to bring down on them, everyone will stop their evil ways. Then I will forgive their guilt and sin.
4 Saa tilkaldte Jeremias Baruk, Nerijas Søn, og Baruk optegnede i Bogrullen efter Jeremias's Mund alle de Ord, HERREN havde talet til ham.
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah to come, and while Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote down on a scroll everything that the Lord had told Jeremiah.
5 Derpaa sagde Jeremias til Baruk: »Jeg er hindret i at gaa ind i HERRENS Hus;
Then Jeremiah gave Baruch these instructions: “I'm a prisoner here so I can't go into the Lord's Temple.
6 men gaa du ind og læs HERRENS Ord op af Bogrullen, som du skrev efter min Mund, for Folket i HERRENS Hus paa en Fastedag; ogsaa for alle Judæere, der kommer ind fra deres Byer, skal du læse dem.
So you have to go to the Lord's Temple on a day when people are fasting, and read to them the Lord's messages from the scroll I dictated to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
7 Maaske naar deres klage HERRENS Aasyn, maaske omvender de sig hver fra sin onde Vej; thi stor er Vreden og Harmen, som HERREN har udtalt mod dette Folk.«
Maybe they will come and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and all of them will stop their evil ways, for the Lord is threatening terrible anger against them.”
8 Og Baruk, Nerijas Søn, gjorde ganske som Profeten Jeremias paalagde ham, og oplæste HERRENS Ord af Bogen i HERRENS Hus.
Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what Jeremiah the prophet had told him to do. He went and read the Lord's message from the scroll in the Temple.
9 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, femte Regeringsaar i den niende Maaned udraabte alt Folket i Jerusalem og alt Folket, der fra Judas Byer kom ind til Jerusalem, en Faste for HERREN.
This is how it happened. A fast to honor the Lord was declared involving all the people of Jerusalem and everyone who had come there from the towns of Judah. This was in the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah.
10 Da oplæste Baruk for alt Folket Jeremias's Ord af Bogen i HERRENS Hus, i Gemarjahus, Statsskriveren Sjafans Søns, Kammer i den øvre Forgaard ved Indgangen til HERRENS Hus's nye Port.
Baruch read from the scroll what Jeremiah had dictated so that everyone could hear. He read it from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe. This was in the upper Temple courtyard at the New Gate entrance.
11 Da nu Mika, en Søn af Sjafans Søn Gemarjahu, havde hørt HERRENS Ord oplæse af Bogen,
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the Lord's messages read from the scroll,
12 gik han ned i Kongens Hus til Statsskriverens Kammer, hvor han traf alle Fyrsterne siddende, Statsskriveren Elisjama, Delaja Sjemajas Søn, Elnatan Akbors Søn, Gemarjahu Sjafans Søn, Zidkija Hananjas Søn og alle de andre Fyrster;
he went down to the royal secretary's room in the king's palace, where all the officials had gathered. Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were there.
13 og Mika meldte dem alt, hvad han havde hørt, da Baruk læste Bogen op for Folket.
Micaiah gave them a report of everything he'd heard Baruch read from the scroll to the people.
14 Da sendte alle Fyrsterne Jehudi, en Søn af Netanja, en Søn af Sjelemja, en Søn af Kusji, til Baruk og lod sige: »Tag Bogrullen, du læste op for Folket, og kom her ned!« Saa tog Baruk, Nerijas Søn, Bogrullen og kom til dem.
The officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to summon Baruch, telling him, “Bring the scroll that you read to the people, and come here.” So Baruch went to see them taking the scroll with him.
15 De sagde til ham: »Sæt dig og læs den for os!« Og Baruk læste for dem.
“Please sit down and read it to us,” they said. So Baruch read it to them.
16 Men da de havde hørt alle disse Ord, saa de rædselsslagne paa hverandre og sagde: »Alt det maa vi sige Kongen.«
After they'd heard everything, they were frightened and looked at each other. They said to Baruch, “We've got to tell the king about all this.”
17 Og de spurgte Baruk: »Sig os, hvorledes du kom til at optegne alle disse Ord!«
Then they asked Baruch, “Now tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”
18 Baruk svarede: »Jeremias foresagde mig alle Ordene, og jeg optegnede dem i Bogen med Blæk.«
“Yes, he dictated it,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down in ink on the scroll everything he told me.”
19 Saa sagde Fyrsterne til Baruk: »Gaa hen og gem eder, du og Jeremias, og lad ingen vide, hvor I er!«
The officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah are going to have to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are.”
20 Efter saa at have lagt Bogrullen til Side i Statsskriveren Elisjamas Kammer kom de til Kongen i hans Stue og sagde ham alt.
Then the officials went to see the king in the courtyard. They had kept the scroll safe in Elishama the secretary's room while they gave a full report to the king.
21 Saa sendte Kongen Jehudi hen at hente Bogrullen i Statsskriveren Elisjamas Kammer; og Jehudi læste den op for Kongen og alle Fyrsterne, der stod om Kongen.
The king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. He went and got it from Elishama the secretary's room. Then Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who were there standing next to him.
22 Kongen sad i Vinterhuset med et brændende Kulbækken foran sig;
It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in front of a fire in his winter quarters.
23 og hver Gang Jehudi havde læst tre fire Spalter, skar Kongen dem af med Statsskriverens Pennekniv og kastede dem paa Ilden i Bækkenet, indtil hele Bogrullen var fortæret af Ilden i Bækkenet.
Whenever Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, Jehoiakim would chop them off with a scribe's knife and toss them into the fire. Eventually the whole scroll was completely burned up.
24 Og hverken Kongen eller nogen af hans Folk blev rædselsslagen eller sønderrev deres Klæder, da de hørte alle disse Ord;
Despite hearing all these messages, the king and his attendants weren't frightened and didn't tear their clothes in remorse.
25 men skønt Elnatan, Delaja og Gemarjahu bad Kongen ikke brænde Bogrullen, hørte han dem ikke.
Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them.
26 Derpaa bød Kongen Kongesønnen Jerame'el, Seraja Azriels Søn og Sjelemja Abde'els Søn at gribe Skriveren Baruk og Profeten Jeremias; men HERREN skjulte dem.
In fact the king ordered Jerahmeel, one of the princes, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to go and arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them.
27 Men da Kongen havde brændt Bogrullen med de Ord, Baruk havde optegnet efter Jeremias's Mund, kom HERRENS Ord til Jeremias saaledes:
After the king burned the scroll Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch, a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
28 »Tag dig en anden Bogrulle og optegn i den alle de Ord, som stod i den første Bogrulle, den, Kong Jojakim af Juda brændte.
Get another scroll and write everything out that was on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
29 Og til Kong Jojakim af Juda skal du sige: Saa siger HERREN: Du brændte denne Bogrulle og sagde: Hvorfor skrev du i den: Babels Konge skal komme og ødelægge dette Land og udrydde baade Folk og Fæ?
Regarding Jehoiakim king of Judah announce that this is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll and asked, “Why did you write that the king of Babylon is going to come and destroy this country and kill all its people and animals?”
30 Derfor, saa siger HERREN om Kong Jojakim af Juda: Han skal ikke have nogen Mand til at sidde paa Davids Trone, og hans Lig skal slænges hen og gives Dagens Hede og Nattens Kulde i Vold;
So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He won't have anyone to succeed him as king, sitting on David's throne. His body will be thrown out to lie in the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
31 jeg vil hjemsøge ham, hans Afkom og hans Tjenere for deres Brøde og bringe over dem og Jerusalems Borgere og Judas Mænd al den Ulykke, jeg har udtalt over dem, uden at de vilde høre.«
I'm going to punish him and his descendants and officials for their sins. I will bring down on them and on the people living in Jerusalem and Judah, all the disasters I warned them about but they refused to listen.
32 Saa tog Jeremias en anden Bogrulle og gav den til Skriveren Baruk, Nerijas Søn; og han optegnede i den efter Jeremias's Mund alle Ordene fra den Bog, Kong Jojakim af Juda havde brændt. Og flere lignende Ord lagdes til.
Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to Baruch. Jeremiah dictated everything that was in the scroll that Jehoiakim had burned in the fire and Barcuh wrote it down. Even more messages of a similar kind were added.
