Jeremias 36
1 I Josiases søn kong Jojakim af Judas fjerde regeringsår kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 "Tag dig en Bogrulle og skriv deri alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig om Jerusalem og Juda og om alle Folkene, fra den Dag jeg først talede til dig, fra Josiass dage og til den Dag i Dag.
“Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.
3 Måske vil Judas Hus mærke sig al den Ulykke, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem, for at de må omvende sig hver fra sin onde Vej, så jeg kan tilgive deres Brøde og Synd."
Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Så tilkaldte Jeremias Baruk, Nerijas Søn, og Baruk optegnede i Bogrullen efter Jeremiass Mund alle de Ord, HERREN havde talet til ham.
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and at the dictation of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
5 Derpå sagde Jeremias til Baruk: "Jeg er hindret i at gå ind i HERRENs Hus;
Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, “I am restricted; I cannot enter the house of the LORD;
6 men gå du ind og læs HERRENs Ord op af Bogrullen, som du skrev efter min Mund, for Folket i HERRENs Hus på en Fastedag; også for alle Judæere, der kommer ind fra deres Byer, skal du læse dem.
so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the words of the LORD from the scroll you have written at my dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
7 Måske når deres klage HERRENs Åsyn, måske omvender de sig hver fra sin onde Vej; thi stor er Vreden og Harmen, som HERREN har udtalt mod dette Folk."
Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”
8 Og Baruk, Nerijas Søn, gjorde ganske som Profeten Jeremias pålagde ham, og oplæste HERRENs Ord af Bogen i HERRENs Hus.
So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.
9 I Josiass Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, femte Regeringsår i den niende Måned udråbte alt Folket i Jerusalem og alt Folket, der fra Judas Byer kom ind til Jerusalem, en Faste for HERREN.
Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
10 Da oplæste Baruk for alt Folket Jeremiass Ord af Bogen i HERRENs Hus, i Gemarjahus, Statsskriveren Sjafans Søns, Kammer i den øvre Forgård ved Indgangen til HERRENs Huss nye Port.
From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.
11 Da nu Mika, en Søn af Sjatans Søn Gemarjahu, havde hørt HERRENs Ord oplæse af Bogen,
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,
12 gik han ned i Kongens Hus til Statsskriverens Kammer, hvor han traf alle Fyrsterne siddende, Statsskriveren Elisjama, Delaja Sjemajas Søn, Elnatan Akbors Søn, Gemarjahu Sjafans Søn, Zidkija Hananjas Søn og alle de andre Fyrster;
he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
13 og Mika meldte dem alt, had han havde hørt, da Baruk læste Bogen op for Folket.
And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
14 Da sendte alle Fyrsterne Jehudi, en Søn af Netanja, en Søn af Sjelemja, en Søn af Kusji, til Baruk og lod sige: "Tag Bogrullen, du læste op for Folket, og kom her ned!" Så tog Baruk, Nerijas Søn, Bogrullen og kom til dem.
Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.
15 De sagde til ham: "Sæt dig og læs den for os!" Og Baruk læste for dem.
“Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Men da de havde hørt alle disse Ord, så de rædselslagne på hverandre og sagde: "Alt det må vi sige Kongen."
When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”
17 Og de spurgte Baruk: "Sig os, hvorledes du kom til at optegne alle disse Ord!"
“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
18 Baruk svarede: "Jeremias foresagde mig alle Ordene, og jeg optegnede dem i Bogen med Blæk."
“It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
19 Så sagde Fyrsterne til Baruk: "Gå hen og gem eder, du og Jeremias, og lad ingen vide, hvor I er!"
Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are.”
20 Efter så at have lagt Bogrullen til Side i Statsskriveren Elisjamas Kammer kom de til Kongen i hans Stue og sagde ham alt.
So the officials went to the king in the courtyard. And having stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported everything to the king.
21 Så sendte Kongen Jehudi hen at hente Bogrullen i Statsskriveren Elisjamas Kammer; og Jehudi læste den op for Kongen og alle Fyrsterne, der stod om Kongen.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
22 Kongen sad i Vinterhuset med et brændende Kulbækken foran sig;
Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
23 og hver Gang Jehudi havde læst tre fire Spalter, skar Kongen dem af med Statsskriverens Pennekniv og kastede dem på Ilden i Bækkenet, indtil hele Bogrullen var fortæret af Ilden i Bækkenet.
And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
24 Og hverken Kongen eller nogen af hans Folk blev rædselslagen eller sønderrev deres Klæder, da de hørte alle disse Ord;
Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
25 men skønt Elnafan, Delaja og Gemarjahu bad Kongen ikke brænde Bogrullen, hørte han dem ikke.
Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
26 Derpå bød Kongen Kongesønnen Jerameel, Seraja Azriels Søn og Sjelemja Abdeels Søn at gribe Skriveren Baruk og Profeten Jeremias; men HERREN skjulte dem.
Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
27 Men da Kongen havde brændt Bogrullen med de Ord, Baruk havde optegnet efter Jeremiass Mund, kom HERRENs Ord til Jeremias således:
After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
28 "Tag dig en anden Bogrulle og optegn i den alle de Ord, som stod i den første Bogrulle, den, Kong Jojakim af Juda brændte.
“Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
29 Og til Kong Jojakim af Juda skal du sige: Så siger HERREN: Du brændte denne Bogrulle og sagde: Hvorfor skrev du i den: Babels Konge skal komme og ødelægge dette Land og udrydde både Folk og Fæ?
You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’
30 Derfor, så siger HERREN om Kong Jojakim af Juda: Han skal ikke have nogen Mand til at sidde på Davids Trone, og hans Lig skal slænges hen og gives Dagens Hede og Nattens Kulde i Vold;
Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.
31 jeg vil hjemsøge ham, hans Afkom og hans Tjenere for deres Brøde og bringe over dem og Jerusalems Borgere og Judas Mænd al den Ulykke, jeg har udtalt over dem, uden at de vilde høre."
I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen.”
32 Så tog Jeremias en anden Bogrulle og gav den til Skriveren Baruk, Nerijas Søn; og han optegnede i den efter Jeremiass Mund alle Ordene fra den Bog, Kong Jojakim af Juda havde brændt. Og flere lignende Ord lagdes til.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
