Jeremias 26
1 I Joasias's søns, kong Jojakim af Judas, første regeringstid kom dette ord fra HERREN:
In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, came this word from the Lord, saying:
2 Så siger HERREN: Stå frem i Forgården til HERRENs Hus og tal til hele Juda, som kommer for at tilbede i HERRENs Hus, alle de Ord, jeg har pålagt dig at tale til dem; udelad ikke et Ord!
Thus saith the Lord: Stand in the court of the house of the Lord, and speak to all the cities of Juda, out of which they come, to adore in the house of the Lord, all the words which I have commanded thee to to speak unto them: leave not out one word.
3 Måske hører de og omvender sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, så jeg kan angre det onde, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem for deres onde Gerningers Skyld.
If so be they will hearken and be converted every one from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil that I think to do unto them for the wickedness of their doings.
4 Sig til dem: Så siger HERREN: Hvis I ikke hører mig og følger den Lov, jeg har forelagt eder,
And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If you will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have given to you:
5 så I hører mine Tjenere Profeternes Ord, som jeg årle og silde sendte eder, skønt I ikke vilde høre,
To give ear to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you rising up early: and sending, and you have not hearkened:
6 så gør jeg med dette Hus som med Silo og giver alle Jordens Folk denne By at forbande ved.
I will make this house like Silo: and I will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENs Hus;
And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
8 og da Jeremias havde sagt alt, hvad HERREN havde pålagt ham at sige til alt Folket, greb Præsterne og Profeterne og alt Folket ham og sagde: "Du skal dø!
And when Jeremias made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests, and the prophets, and all the people laid hold on him, saying: Let him be put to death.
9 Hvor tør du profetere i HERRENs Navn og sige: Det skal gå dette Hus som Silo, og denne By skal ødelægges, så ingen bor der!" Og alt Folket stimlede sammen om Jeremias i HERRENs Hus.
Why hath he prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying: This house shall be like Silo; and this city shall be made desolate, without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered together against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.
10 Da Judas Fyrster hørte det, gik de fra Kongens Palads op til HERRENs Hus og tog Sæde ved Indgangen til HERRENs nye Port.
And the princes of Juda heard these words: and they went up from the king’s house into the house of the Lord, and sat in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord.
11 Så sagde Præsterne og Profeterne til Fyrsterne og alt Folket: "Denne Mand har gjort halsløs Gerning, thi han har profeteret mod denne By, som I selv hørte."
And the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying: The judgement of death is for this man: because he hath prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
12 Men Jeremias sagde til Fyrsterne og alt Folket: "HERREN sendte mig for at profetere mod dette Hus og denne By alle de Ord, I hørte.
Then Jeremias spoke to all the princes, and to all the people, saying: The Lord sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city all the words you have heard.
13 Bedrer dog eders Veje og eders Gerninger og hør på HERREN eders Guds Røst, at HERREN må angre det onde, han har talet imod eder.
Now therefore amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God: and the Lord will repent of the evil that he hath spoken against you.
14 Men se, jeg er i eders Hånd; gør med mig, hvad der er godt og billigt i eders Øjne!
But as for me, behold I am in your hands: do with me what is good and right in your eyes:
15 Dog skal I vide, at hvis I dræber mig, så bringer I uskyldigt Blod over eder og denne By og dens Indbyggere; thi sandelig sendte HERREN mig for at tale alle disse ord til eder."
But know ye, and understand, that if you put me to death, you will shed innocent blood against your own selves, and against this city, and the inhabitants thereof. For in truth the Lord sent me to you, to speak all these words in your hearing.
16 Da sagde Fyrsterne og alt Folket til Præsterne og Profeterne: "Denne Mand har ikke gjort halsløs Gerning, men talt til os i HERREN vor Guds Navn."
Then the princes, and all the people said to the priests, and to the prophets: There is no judgement of death for this man: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
17 Og nogle af Landets Ældste trådte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
And some of the ancients of the land rose up: and they spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying:
18 "Mika fra Moresjet profeterede på Kong Ezekias af Judas Tid og sagde til alt Judas Folk: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Zion skal pløjes som en Mark, Jerusalem blive til Grushobe, Tempelbjerget til Krathøj.
Micheas of Morasthi was a prophet in the days of Ezechias king of Juda, and he spoke to all the people of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Sion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall be a heap of stones: and the mountain of the house the high places of woods.
19 Mon Kong Ezekias af Juda og hele Juda dræbte ham? Frygtede de ikke HERREN og bad ham om Nåde, så HERREN angrede det onde, han havde truet dem med? Vi er ved at bringe stor Ulykke over vore Sjæle."
Did Ezechias king of Juda, and all Juda, condemn him to death? did they not fear the Lord, and beseech the face of the Lord: and the Lord repented of the evil that they had spoken against them? therefore we are doing a great evil against our souls.
20 Der var også en anden Mand, som profeterede i HERRENs Navn, Urija, Sjemajas Søn, fra Kirjat Jearim; og han profeterede mod denne By og dette Land med de samme Ord som Jeremias.
There was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Semei of Cariathiarim: and he prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremias.
21 Da Kong Jojakim og alle hans Krigsfolk og alle Fyrsterne hørte hans Ord, stod han ham efter Livet; og da Urija hørte det, blev han bange og flygtede og kom til Ægypten.
And Joakim, and all his men in power, and his princes heard these words: and the king sought to put him to death. And Urias heard it, and was afraid, and fled and went into Egypt.
22 Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
And king Joakim sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achobor, and men with him into Egypt.
23 og de bragte Urija hjem fra Ægypten og førte ham til Kong Jojakim, som lod ham hugge ned med Sværdet og hans Lig kaste hen, hvor Småfolk havde deres Grave.
And they brought Urias out of Egypt: and brought him to king Joakim, and he slew him with the sword: and he cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Hånden over Jeremias, så han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Hånd og dræbt.
So the hand of Ahicam the son of Saphan was with Jeremias, that he should not be delivered into the hands of the people, to put him to death.
