Jeremias 27
1 I Josiass Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første regeringstid kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 Således sagde HERREN til mig: Gør dig Reb og Ågstænger og læg dem på din Hals
“Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
3 og send Edoms, Moabs, Ammoniternes, Tyruss og Zidons Konger Bud ved deres Sendemænd, som er kommet til Kong Zedekias af Juda i Jerusalem;
and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 byd dem at sige til deres Herrer: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE. Israels Gud: Sig til eders Herrer:
and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
5 Jeg skabte Jorden og Menneskene og Kvæget på Jorden ved min vældige Styrke og min udrakte Hånd, og jeg giver den, til hvem jeg finder for godt.
Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
6 Og nu giver jeg alle disse Lande i min Tjener Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Hånd, selv Markens Vildt giver jeg hen til at trælle for ham.
And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;
7 Alle Folk skal trælle for ham, hans Søn og Sønnesøn, indtil også hans Lands Time slår og mange Folkeslag og store Konger gør ham til deres Træl.
and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
8 Og det Folk og det Rige, som ikke vil trælle for ham, Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel, og bøje Hals under Babels Konges Åg, det vil jeg hjemsøge med Sværd, Hunger og Pest, lyder det fra HERREN, til det er tilintetgjort ved hans Hånd.
And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.
9 I skal ikke høre på eders Profeter og Spåmænd, eders Drømmere, Sandsigere og Troldmænd, som siger til eder: "I skal ikke komme til at trælle for Babels Konge;
And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—
10 thi det er Løgn, de profeterer for eder for at få eder bort fra eders Jord, idet jeg da driver eder bort og I går til Grunde.
For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
11 Men det Folk, der bøjer Hals under Babels Konges Åg og træller for ham, vil jeg lade blive på sin Jord, lyder det fra HERREN, så det kan dyrke den og bo der.
And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
12 Og til Kong Zedekias af Juda talte jeg i Overensstemmelse med alle disse Ord: Bøj Hals under Babels Konges Åg og træl for ham og hans Folk, så skal I leve.
And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Hvorfor vil du og dit Folk dø ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest, således som HERREN truede det Folk, der ikke vil trælle for Babels Konge?
Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Hør ikke på Profeternes Ord, når de siger til eder: "I skal ikke komme til at trælle for Babels Konge"; thi Løgn profeterer de eder.
And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
15 Jeg har ikke sendt dem, lyder det fra HERREN, og de profeterer Løgn i mit Navn, for at jeg skal bortstøde eder, så I går til Grunde sammen med Profeterne, der profeterer for eder.
For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
16 Og til Præsterne og alt dette Folk talte jeg således: Så siger HERREN: Hør ikke på eders Profeters Ord, når de profeterer for eder og siger: "Se, HERRENs Huss Kar skal nu snart føres hjem fra Babel." Thi Løgn profeterer de eder.
And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
17 Hør dem ikke, men træl for Babels Konge, så skal I leve. Hvorfor skal denne By lægges øde?
You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
18 Er de Profeter og har HERRENs Ord, så lad dem gå i forbøn hos Hærskarers HERRE, at de Kar, der er tilbage i HERRENs Hus og Judas konges Palads, ikke også skal komme til Babel.
And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
19 Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE om Søjlerne, Havet og Stellene og om de sidste Kar, der er tilbage i denne By,
For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 dem, som Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel ikke tog med, da han bortførte Jojakims søn, Kong Jekonja af Juda, fra Jerusalem til Babel med alle de ypperste i Juda og Jerusalem,
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
21 ja, så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud, om de kar, der er tilbage i HERRENs Hus og Judas Konges Palads og i Jerusalem:
surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
22 De skal føres til Babel, og der skal de blive, til den Dag jeg tager mig af dem og fører dem op og bringer dem tilbage hertil, lyder det fra HERREN.
They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
