Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying:
I Begyndelsen af Jojakims, Josias's Søns, Judas Konges Regering kom dette Ord fra Herren saalunde:
2 “Thus says the Lord: Stand in the atrium of the house of the Lord, and speak to all the cities of Judah, from which they come to adore in the house of the Lord, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. Do not choose to subtract any word.
Saa siger Herren: Stil dig i Herrens Hus's Forgaard, og tal til alle Judas Stæder, som komme for at tilbede i Herrens Hus, alle de Ord, som jeg har befalet dig at tale til dem, du skal ikke tage et Ord derfra.
3 So may they hear and be converted, each one from his evil way. And then I may repent of the evil that I plan to do to them because of the wickedness of their pursuits.
Maaske de vilde høre og omvende sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, og jeg maatte angre det onde, som jeg tænker at gøre imod dem, for deres Idrætters Ondskabs Skyld.
4 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, so that you walk in my law, which I have given to you,
Og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger Herren: Dersom I ikke høre mig om at vandre i min Lov, som jeg har sat for eders Ansigt,
5 so that you listen to the words of my servants, the prophets, whom I have sent to you, who arise while it is still night, and though they give guidance, you do not listen,
og om at høre paa mine Tjeneres, Profeternes Ord, som jeg sender til eder, baade tidligt og ideligt, uden at I have villet høre dem:
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city into a curse for all the nations of the earth.”
Saa vil jeg gøre dette Hus ligt med Silo og gøre denne Stad til en Forbandelse for alle Folkefærd paa Jorden.
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
Og Præsterne og Profeterne og alt Folket hørte, at Jeremias talte disse Ord i Herrens Hus.
8 And when Jeremiah had completed speaking all that the Lord had instructed him to speak to all the people, then the priests, and the prophets, and all the people apprehended him, saying: “You shall be put to death.”
Og det skete, der Jeremias var færdig med at tale alt det, som Herren havde befalet ham at tale til alt Folket, da grebe Præsterne og Profeterne og alt Folket ham og sagde: Du skal visselig dø!
9 “Why has he prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying: ‘Like Shiloh, so shall this house be,’ and, ‘This city shall be made desolate, even without an inhabitant?’” And all the people were gathered together against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
Hvorfor spaaede du i Herrens Navn og sagde: Dette Hus skal blive ligesom Silo, og denne Stad skal ødelægges, saa at ingen skal bo der? Og alt Folket samlede sig imod Jeremias i Herrens Hus.
10 And the leaders of Judah heard these words. And they ascended from the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and they sat at the entrance by the new gate of the house of the Lord.
Og Judas Fyrster hørte disse Ord, og de gik op fra Kongens Hus og til Herrens Hus, og de satte sig ved Indgangen til Herrens nye Port.
11 And the priests and the prophets spoke to the leaders and to all the people, saying: “A judgment of death is for this man. For he has prophesied against this city, just as you have heard with your own ears.”
Og Præsterne og Profeterne sagde til Fyrsterne og til alt Folket saaledes: Dødsdom over denne Mand! thi han har spaaet imod denne Stad, saaledes som I have hørt med eders Øren.
12 And Jeremiah spoke to all the leaders and to the entire people, saying: “The Lord has sent me to prophesy, about this house and about this city, all the words that you have heard.
Men Jeremias sagde til alle Fyrsterne og til alt Folket saaledes: Herren har sendt mig til at spaa imod dette Hus og imod denne Stad og til at forkynde alle de Ord, som I have hørt.
13 Now, therefore, make your ways and your intentions good, and heed the voice of the Lord your God. And then the Lord will repent of the evil that he has spoken against you.
Saa bedrer nu eders Veje og eders Idrætter, og hører Herren eders Guds Røst, saa skal Herren angre det onde, som han har talt imod eder.
14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hands. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
Og jeg, se! jeg er i eders Haand; gører imod mig, som det er godt, og som det er ret for eders Øjne.
15 Yet truly, know and understand this: if you kill me, you will be bringing innocent blood against yourselves, and against this city and its inhabitants. For in truth, the Lord sent me to you, so as to speak all these words in your hearing.”
Kun det skulle I vide, at dersom I dræbe mig, da ville I bringe uskyldigt Blod over eder og over denne Stad og over dens Indbyggere; thi i Sandhed, Herren har sendt mig til eder for at tale alle disse Ord for eders Øren.
16 And then the leaders and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “There is no judgment of death against this man. For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
Da sagde Fyrsterne og alt Folket til Præsterne og til Profeterne: Der bør ingen Dødsdom fældes over denne Mand; thi har han talt til os i Herren vor Guds Navn.
17 Then some of the elders of the land rose up. And they spoke to the entire assembly of the people, saying:
Og nogle Mænd af de Ældste i Landet stode op, og de sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling saaledes:
18 “Micah from Moresheth was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: Zion will be ploughed like a field. And Jerusalem will be a pile of stones. And the mountain of the house will be like the forests of high places.’
Morasktiten Mika spaaede i Ezekias's, Judas Konges Dage, og sagde til alt Judas Folk: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Zion skal pløjes som en Ager og Jerusalem blive til Stenhobe og Husets Bjerg til Skovhøje.
19 Did the king of Judah, Hezekiah, with all of Judah, condemn him to death? Did they not fear the Lord, and petition the face of the Lord? And so the Lord repented of the evil that he had spoken against them. Therefore, we are committing a great evil against our own souls.
Mon Ezekias, Judas Konge, og al Juda straks dræbte ham? frygtede han ikke Herren og bad ydmygt for Herrens Ansigt, saa at Herren angrede det onde, som han havde talt imod dem? og vi, vi bringe en stor Ulykke over vore Sjæle.
20 Likewise, there was a man prophesying in the name of the Lord: Uriah, the son of Shemaiah, of Kiriath-jearim. And he prophesied against this city and against this land, in accord with all the words of Jeremiah.
Der var ogsaa en Mand, som spaaede i Herrens Navn, Urias, Semajas's Søn, fra Kirjath-Jearim; og han spaaede imod denne Stad og imod dette Land, aldeles som Jeremias's Ord vare.
21 And king Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and leaders, heard these words. And so the king sought to put him to death. And Uriah heard, and was afraid, and fled, and he entered into Egypt.
Og Kong Jojakim og alle hans vældige og alle Fyrsterne hørte hans Ord, og Kongen søgte at dræbe ham; men Urias hørte det og frygtede og flyede og kom til Ægypten.
22 And king Jehoiakim sent men into Egypt: Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and the men who went with him into Egypt.
Men Kong Jojakim sendte Mænd til Ægypten, nemlig Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle Mænd med ham til Ægypten.
23 And they led Uriah out of Egypt. And they brought him to king Jehoiakim, and he struck him down with the sword. And he cast his dead body among the graves of the common people.”
Og de førte Urias fra Ægypten og bragte ham til Kong Jojakim, og denne slog ham ihjel med Sværdet og lod hans døde Krop kaste i de meniges Grave.
24 But the hand of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, was with Jeremiah, so that he would not be delivered into the hands of the people, and so that they would not put him to death.
Kun Ahikams, Safans Søns, Haand var med Jeremias, saa at man ikke gav ham i Folkets Haand til at dræbes.
