Jeremias 39
1 Efter at Jerusalem var indtaget, i kong Zedekias af Judas niene regeringsår i den tiende Måned, kom Kong Nebudkadrezar af Babel med hele sin Hær til Jerusalem og belejrede det;
And it came to pass, when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
2 i Zedekiass ellevte År på den niende Dag i den fjerde Måned blev Byen stormet
and in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, was the city broken into, )
3 da kom alle Babels konges Fyrster og satte sig i Midterporten: Overhofmanden Nebusjazban, Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sarezer og alle Babels Konges andre Fyrster.
that all the chieftains of the king of Babylon came, and stationed themselves in the middle gate, Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, prefect of the eunuchs, Nergalsharezer, prefect of the magians, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Da Kong Zedekias af Juda og alle hans Krigsmænd så dem, flygtede de om Natten fra Byen ad Vejen til Kongens Have gennem Porten mellem de to Mure og tog Vejen ad Araba til.
And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and all the men of war, saw them, they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and they went forth toward the plain.
5 Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter dem og indhentede Zedekias på Jerikos Lavslette; og de tog ham med og bragte ham op til Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel i Ribla i Hamats Land; og han fældede hans Dom.
But the army of the Chaldaeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment concerning him.
6 Babels Konge lod i Ribla Zedekiass Sønner dræbe i hans Påsyn; også alle de ypperste i Juda lod Babels Konge dræbe;
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes; and all the nobles of Judah did the king of Babylon slay.
7 derpå lod han Øjnene stikke ud på Zedekias og lod ham lægge i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 kaldæerne satte Ild på Kongens Palads og Folkets Huse og nedbrød Jerusalems Mure.
And the Chaldaeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Resten af Folket, der var levnet i Byen, Overløberne, der var løbet over til ham, og Resten af Håndværkerne førte Livvagtens øverste Nebuzaradan som Fanger til Babel,
And the residue of the people that remained in the city, and the deserters who had come over to him, the residue of the people that remained, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried away to Babylon.
10 og kun nogle af den fattigste Befolkning, der intet ejede, lod Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan blive tilbage i Judas Land, idet han samtidig gav dem Vingårde og Agre.
But the poor of the people, who had nothing, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Men om Jeremias bød Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan:
And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, saying,
12 "Tag ham og hav Øje med ham og gør ham ingen Men; gør med ham, som han selv ønsker!"
“Take him, and have thine eyes upon him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to you.”
13 Så sendte Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan, Overhofmanden Nebusjazban og Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sarezer og alle Babels Konges andre Stormænd
Then sent Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, and Nebushasban, prefect of the eunuchs, and Nergalsharezer, prefect of the magians, and all the princes of the king of Babylon,
14 Bud og, lod Jeremias hente i Vagtforgården og overgav ham til Gedalja, en Søn af Sjafans Søn Ahikam, for at han skulde føre ham til hans Hjem; og han boede iblandt Folket.
they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home; and he dwelt among the people.
15 Medens Jeremias sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, kom HERRENs Ord til ham således:
Now the word of Jehovah had come to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying:
16 Gå hen og sig til Ætioperen Ebed-Melek: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, jeg lader mine Ord gå i Opfyldelse på denne By til Ulykke og ikke til Lykke, og du skal have dem i Tankerne på hin Dag.
Go and speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, and say: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good, and with thine own eyes shalt thou see it in that day.
17 Men på hin Dag redder jeg dig, lyder det fra HERREN, og du skal ikke gives i de Mænds Hånd, for hvem du frygter;
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
18 thi jeg vil frelse dig, så du ikke falder for Sværdet, og du skal vinde dit Liv som Bytte, fordi du stolede på mig, lyder det fra HERREN
But I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be to thee as a prey; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Jehovah.
