Jeremias 21
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren, da kong Zedekias sendte Pasjhur, Malkias Søn, og Præsten Zefanja, Maasejas Søn, til ham og lod sige:
The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh when sent to him the king Zedekiah Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah and Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest saying.
2 "Rådspørg HERREN for os, thi kong Nebukadrezar af Babel angriber os; måske vil HERREN handle med os efter alle sine Undergerninger, så Nebukadrezar drager bort fra os."
Seek please for us Yahweh for Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [is] waging war on us perhaps he will do Yahweh with us according to all wonders his and he may go up from on us.
3 Jeremias svarede dem: "Sig til Zedekias:
And he said Jeremiah to them thus you will say! to Zedekiah.
4 Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, Våbnene i eders Hånd, med hvilke I uden for Muren kæmper mod Babels Konge og Kaldæerne, der belejrer eder, dem driver jeg tilbage og samler dem midt i denne By;
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to turn round [the] weapons of war which [are] in hand your which you [are] fighting by them with [the] king of Babylon and with the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you from [the] outside of the wall and I will gather them into [the] middle of the city this.
5 og jeg vil selv kæmpe mod eder med utdrakt Hånd og stærk Arm, i Vrede og Harme og stor Fortørnelse;
And I will fight I with you by a hand outstretched and by an arm strong and in anger and in rage and in wrath great.
6 og jeg slår denne Bys Indbyggere, ja både Folk og Fæ, med voldsom Pest, så de dør.
And I will strike down [the] inhabitants of the city this and the humankind and the animal[s] by a pestilence great they will die.
7 Og siden, lyder det fra HERREN, giver jeg Kong Zedekias af Juda og hans Tjenere og Folket, der levnes i denne By af Pesten, Sværdet og Hungeren, i Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels og i deres Fjenders Hånd, og i deres Hånd, som står dem efter Livet; de skal hugge dem ned med Sværdet, og jeg vil ikke ynkes over dem eller vise Skånsel eller Barmhjertighed!"
And after thus [the] utterance of Yahweh I will give Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and servants his - and the people and those [who] remain in the city this from the pestilence - from the sword and from the famine in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of enemies their and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and he will strike down them to [the] mouth of [the] sword not he will have mercy on them and not he will show pity and not he will have compassion.
8 Og sig til dette Folk: "Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg forelægger eder Livets Vej og Dødens Vej.
And to the people this you will say thus he says Yahweh here I [am] putting before you [the] way of life and [the] way of death.
9 Den, som bliver i denne By, skal dø ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest: men den, som går ud og overgiver sig til Kaldæerne, der belejrer eder, skal leve og vinde sit Liv som Bytte,
The [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out and he will fall on the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder.
10 Thi jeg retter mit Åsyn mod denne By til Ulykke og ikke til Lykke, lyder det fra HERREN; i Babels Konges Hånd skal den gives, og han skal opbrænde den med Ild."
For I have set face my on the city this for harm and not for good [the] utterance of Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon it will be given and he will burn it with fire.
11 Og sig til Judas Konges Hus: Hør HERRENs Ord,
And to [the] house of [the] king of Judah hear [the] word of Yahweh.
12 Davids Hus! Så siger HERREN: Hold årle retfærdig Dom, fri den, som er plyndret, af Voldsmandens Hånd, at ikke min Vrede slår ud som Ild og brænder, så ingen kan slukke, for eders onde Gerningers Skyld.
O house of David thus he says Yahweh judge to the morning justice and deliver [one who] has been robbed from [the] hand of an oppressor lest it should go forth like fire rage my and it will burn and there not [will be one who] extinguishes because of [the] wickedness of (deeds your. *Q(K)*)
13 Se, jeg kommer over dig, du By i Dalen, du Slettens Klippe, lyder det fra HERREN, I, som siger: "Hvo falder over os, hvo trænger ind i vore Boliger?"
Here I [am] against you O inhabitant of the valley O rock of the plain [the] utterance of Yahweh O those [who] say who? will he come down on us and who? will he come in hiding places our.
14 Efter eders Gerningers Frugt hjemsøger jeg jer, lyder det fra HERREN; jeg sætter Ild på dens Skov, den fortærer alt deromkring.
And I will visit [judgment] on you according to [the] fruit of deeds your [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will kindle a fire in forest its and it will consume all around it.
