Jeremias 38
1 Men da Sjefatja Mattans Søn, Gedalja Pasjhurs Søn, Jukal Sjelemjas Søn og Pasjhur Malkijas Søn hørte Jeremias tale til alt Folket saaledes:
And he heard Shephatiah [the] son of Mattan and Gedaliah [the] son of Pashhur and Jucal [the] son of Shelemiah and Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah the words which Jeremiah [was] speaking to all the people saying.
2 »Saa siger HERREN: Den, der bliver i denne By, skal dø ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest, men den, som overgiver sig til Kaldæerne, skal leve og vinde sit Liv som Bytte;
Thus he says Yahweh the [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out to the Chaldeans (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder and he will live.
3 thi saa siger HERREN: Denne By skal gives i Babels Konges Hærs Haand, og han skal indtage den« —
Thus he says Yahweh certainly it will be given the city this in [the] hand of [the] army of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
4 da sagde Fyrsterne til Kongen: »Denne Mand maa dø, thi han tager Modet fra Krigsmændene, som er tilbage i denne By, og fra alt Folket ved at tale saaledes til dem; thi denne Mand tænker ikke paa dette Folks Vel, men paa dets Ulykke.«
And they said the officials to the king let him be put to death please the man this for since he [is] making drop [the] hands of [the] men of war who remain - in the city this and [the] hands of all the people by speaking to them according to the words these that - the man this not he [is] seeking for welfare for the people this that except for harm.
5 Kong Zedekias svarede: »Se, han er i eders Haand.« Thi Kongen evnede intet over for dem.
And he said the king Zedekiah there! he [is] in hand your for not the king he is able you anything.
6 Saa tog de Jeremias og kastede ham i Kongesønnen Malkijas Cisterne i Vagtforgaarden, idet de hejsede ham ned med Reb. Der var ikke Vand i Cisternen, men Dynd, og Jeremias sank i Dyndet.
And they took Jeremiah and they threw him into the cistern of - Malkijah [the] son of the king which [was] in [the] courtyard of the guard and they let down Jeremiah with ropes and in the cistern there not [was] water that except mud and he sank Jeremiah in the mud.
7 Imidlertid hørte Ætioperen Ebed-Melek, en Hofmand i Kongens Palads, at Jeremias var kastet i Cisternen; og da Kongen var i Benjaminsporten,
And he heard Ebed Melech the Cushite a man a court-official and he [was] in [the] house of the king that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern and the king [was] sitting in [the] gate of Benjamin.
8 gik Ebed-Melek fra Paladset og talte saaledes til Kongen:
And he went out Ebed Melech from [the] house of the king and he spoke to the king saying.
9 »Herre Konge, ilde har de gjort ved at lade denne Mand dø af Hunger, fordi der ikke er mere Brød i Byen!«
O lord my the king they have done evil the men these all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have thrown into the cistern and he died in it because of famine for there not [is] the food yet in the city.
10 Saa bød Kongen Ætioperen Ebed-Melek: »Tag tredive Mænd med herfra og drag Profeten Jeremias op af Cisternen, før han dør!«
And he commanded the king Ebed Melech the Cushite saying take in hand your from here thirty men and you will bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the cistern before he will die.
11 Ebed-Melek tog Mændene med og gik til Kælderen under Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads, hvor han hentede nogle Klude af slidte og iturevne klæder; dem hejsede han med Reb ned til Jeremias i Cisternen,
And he took - Ebed Melech the men in hand his and he went [the] house of the king to under the storehouse and he took from there worn out things of (clothes *Q(K)*) and worn out things of rags and he let down them to Jeremiah into the cistern with ropes.
12 idet han sagde: »Læg Kludene om Rebet!« Det gjorde Jeremias,
And he said Ebed Melech the Cushite to Jeremiah put please [the] worn out things of the clothes and the rags under [the] joints of hands your from under to [the] ropes and he did Jeremiah thus.
13 og de drog ham op af Cisternen med Rebet. Saaledes kom Jeremias atter til at sidde i Vagtforgaarden.
And they drew out Jeremiah with ropes and they brought up him from the cistern and he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard.
14 Kong Zedekias sendte Bud og lod Profeten Jeremias hente til sig i Livvagtens Indgang til HERRENS Hus. Og Kongen sagde til ham: »Jeg vil spørge dig om noget, dølg intet for mig!«
And he sent the king Zedekiah and he brought Jeremiah the prophet to him to an entrance third which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh and he said the king to Jeremiah [am] about to ask I you a matter may not you hide from me anything.
15 Jeremias svarede Zedekias: »Hvis jeg siger dig det, vil du da ikke lade mig dræbe? Og selv om jeg raader dig, vil du dog ikke høre mig.«
And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah if I will tell to you ¿ not certainly will you put to death me and if I will counsel you not you will listen to me.
16 Da tilsvor Kong Zedekias i al Hemmelighed Jeremias: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, som har skabt vor Sjæl, jeg vil ikke lade dig dræbe eller give dig i disse Mænds Haand, som staar dig efter Livet.«
And he swore the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah in secrecy saying [by] [the] life of Yahweh (*Q(K)*) who he has made for us the life this if I will put to death you and if I will give you in [the] hand of the men these who [are] seeking life your.
17 Saa sagde Jeremias til Zedekias: »Saa siger HERREN, Hærskarers Gud, Israels Gud: Hvis du overgiver dig til Babels Konges Fyrster, skal du redde dit Liv; denne By skal ikke afbrændes, og du og dit Hus skal blive i Live;
And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel certainly [if] you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and you will live self your and the city this not it will be burned with fire and you will live you and household your.
18 men overgiver du dig ikke til dem, skal Byen gives i Kaldæernes Haand, og de skal afbrænde den, og du skal ikke undslippe deres Haand.«
And if not you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and it will be given the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and they will burn it with fire and you not you will escape from hand their.
19 Men Kong Zedekias sagde til Jeremias: »Jeg er ræd for de Judæere, der er løbet over til Kaldæerne, at Kaldæerne skal overgive mig i deres Haand, og at de skal drive Spot med mig.«
And he said the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah I [am] dreading the Jews who they have fallen to the Chaldeans lest they should give me in hand their and they will deal wantonly with me.
20 Saa sagde Jeremias: »Det gør de ikke! Adlyd kun HERRENS Ord, som jeg taler til dig, saa skal det gaa dig vel, og du skal blive i Live.
And he said Jeremiah not they will give listen please - to [the] voice of Yahweh to [that] which I [am] speaking to you so it may go well for you so it may live self your.
21 Men vægrer du dig ved at overgive dig, saa hør nu, hvad HERREN har ladet mig skue:
And if [are] refusing you to go out this [is] the thing which he has shown me Yahweh.
22 Se, alle Kvinder, der er tilbage i Judas Konges Palads, førtes ud til Babels Konges Fyrster, medens de sang: Dig forledte og tvang dine gode Venner, de ledte din Fod i en Sump og trak sig tilbage.
And there! all the women who they are left in [the] house of [the] king of Judah [are] about to be brought out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and they [will be] saying they misled you and they prevailed to you [the] people of peace your they are sunk in the mire feet your they have turned backwards.
23 Alle dine Hustruer og Børn skal føres ud til Kaldæerne, og du skal ikke undslippe deres Haand, men gribes af Babels Konges Haand, og denne By skal afbrændes!«
And all wives your and children your [people will] bring out to the Chaldeans and you not you will escape from hand their for by [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon you will be captured and the city this it will burn with fire.
24 Saa sagde Zedekias til Jeremias: »Ingen maa vide noget om denne Samtale, ellers er du dødsens;
And he said Zedekiah to Jeremiah anyone may not he know in the words these and not you will die.
25 og hvis Fyrsterne skulde faa Nys om, at jeg har talt med dig, og komme til dig og sige: Sig os, hvad du sagde til Kongen; dølg ikke noget for os, ellers dræber vi dig; sig os ogsaa, hvad Kongen sagde til dig!
And if they will hear the officials that I have spoken with you and they will come to you and they will say to you tell! please to us what? did you say to the king may not you hide [it] from us and not we will put to death you and what? did he say to you the king.
26 sig saa til dem: Jeg fremførte en ydmyg Bøn for Kongen om ikke at lade mig føre tilbage til Jonatans Hus for at dø der.«
And you will say to them [was] making fall I supplication my before the king to not to send back me [the] house of Jonathan to die there.
27 Og alle Fyrsterne kom til Jeremias og spurgte ham; og han svarede dem nøje, som Kongen havde paabudt. Saa lod de ham i Fred, eftersom Sagen ikke var blevet kendt.
And they came all the officials to Jeremiah and they asked him and he told to them according to all the words these which he had commanded the king and they kept silent from him for not it had been heard the matter.
28 Saaledes sad Jeremias i Vagtforgaarden, lige til den Dag Jerusalem blev indtaget.
And he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard until [the] day when it was captured Jerusalem. And it was just when it was captured Jerusalem.
