< Jeremias 36 >
1 I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde Regeringsaar kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
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.
'Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
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.«
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their 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.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5 Derpaa sagde Jeremias til Baruk: »Jeg er hindret i at gaa ind i HERRENS Hus;
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: 'I am detained, I cannot go into the house of the LORD;
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.
therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon a fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
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.«
It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.'
8 Og Baruk, Nerijas Søn, gjorde ganske som Profeten Jeremias paalagde ham, og oplæste HERRENS Ord af Bogen i HERRENS Hus.
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.
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.
Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD, all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
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.
Then did Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Da nu Mika, en Søn af Sjafans Søn Gemarjahu, havde hørt HERRENS Ord oplæse af Bogen,
And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
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 into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber; and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 og Mika meldte dem alt, hvad han havde hørt, da Baruk læste Bogen op for Folket.
Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of 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.
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying: 'Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come.' So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
15 De sagde til ham: »Sæt dig og læs den for os!« Og Baruk læste for dem.
And they said unto him: 'Sit down now, and read it in our ears.' So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Men da de havde hørt alle disse Ord, saa de rædselsslagne paa hverandre og sagde: »Alt det maa vi sige Kongen.«
Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch: 'We will surely tell the king of all these words.'
17 Og de spurgte Baruk: »Sig os, hvorledes du kom til at optegne alle disse Ord!«
And they asked Baruch, saying: 'Tell us now: How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?'
18 Baruk svarede: »Jeremias foresagde mig alle Ordene, og jeg optegnede dem i Bogen med Blæk.«
Then Baruch answered them: 'He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.'
19 Saa sagde Fyrsterne til Baruk: »Gaa hen og gem eder, du og Jeremias, og lad ingen vide, hvor I er!«
Then said the princes unto Baruch: 'Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye 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.
And they went in to the king into the court; but they had deposited the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of 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.
So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.
22 Kongen sad i Vinterhuset med et brændende Kulbækken foran sig;
Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month; and the brazier was burning before him.
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.
And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
24 Og hverken Kongen eller nogen af hans Folk blev rædselsslagen eller sønderrev deres Klæder, da de hørte alle disse Ord;
Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 men skønt Elnatan, Delaja og Gemarjahu bad Kongen ikke brænde Bogrullen, hørte han dem ikke.
Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the roll; but he would not hear 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.
And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; 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:
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
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.
'Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath 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?
And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying: Why hast thou written therein, saying: The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
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;
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
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.«
And I will visit upon him and his seed and his servants their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.'
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.
Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.
