Jeremias 28

1 Kong Zedekias af Judas fjerde regeringsår i den femte måned sagde Profeten Hananja, Azzurs Søn, fra Gibeon til mig i HERRENs Hus i Præsternes og alt Folkets Nærværelse:

And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of 'Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib'on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,

2 "Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Jeg har sønderbrudt Babels Konges Åg.

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;

3 Om to År fører jeg tilbage hertil alle HERRENs Huss Kar, som Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel tog herfra og førte til Babel;

Within yet two years' time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:

4 og Jojakims Søn, Kong Jekonja af Juda, og alle de landflygtige fra Juda, som kom til Babel, fører jeg tilbage hertil, lyder det fra HERREN; thi jeg sønderbryder Babels Konges Åg."

And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

5 Profeten Jeremias svarede Profeten Hananja i Nærværelse af Præsterne og alt Folket, som stod i HERRENs Hus,

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,

6 således: "Amen! Måtte HERREN gøre således og stadfæste, hvad du har profeteret, og føre HERRENs Huss Kar og alle de landflygtige fra Babel tilbage hertil!

Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.

7 Men hør dog dette Ord, som jeg vil tale til dig og alt Folket:

Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:

8 De Profeter, som levede før mig og dig fra Fortids Dage, profeterede mod mange Lande og mægtige Riger om krig, Hunger og Pest;

The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.

9 men når en Profet profeterer om Fred, kendes den Profet, HERREN virkelig har sendt, på at hans Ord går i Opfyldelse."

The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, [as the one] whom the Lord hath sent in truth.

10 Så rev Profeten Hananja Ågstængerne af Profeten Jeremiass Hals og sønderbrød dem;

Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.

11 og Hananja sagde i alt Folkets Nærværelse: "Så siger HERREN: Således sønderbryder jeg om to År Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Åg og tager det fra alle Folkenes Hals." Men Profeten Jeremias gik sin Vej.

And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years' time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

12 Men efter at Profeten Hananja havde sønderbrudt Ågstængerne og revet dem af Profeten Jeremiass Hals, kom HERRENs Ord til Jeremias således:

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

13 "Gå hen og sig til Hananja: Så siger HERREN: Du har sønderbrudt Ågstænger af Træ, men jeg vil lave Ågstænger af Jern i Stedet.

Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke-bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke-bars of iron.

14 Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Et Jernåg lægger jeg på alle disse Folks Hals, at de må trælle for Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel; de skal trælle for ham, selv Markens Vildt har jeg givet ham."

For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.

15 Så sagde Profeten Jeremias til Profeten Hananja: "Hør, Hananja! HERREN har ikke sendt dig, og du har fået dette Folk til at slå Lid til Løgn.

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.

16 Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg slænger dig bort fra Jordens Flade; du skal dø i År, thi du har prædiket Frafald fra HERREN."

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.

17 Og Profeten Hananja døde samme År i den syvende Måned.

So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.
