Jeremiah 28

1 And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:

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:

2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

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

3 There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away to Babylon.

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

4 And I will return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

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."

5 And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.

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

6 And Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.

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!

7 Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.

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

8 The prophets, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.

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

9 The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth.”

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

10 And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.

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

11 And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people.”

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.

12 And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

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

13 “Go, and you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains of iron.

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

14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth.”

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."

15 And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused this people to trust in a lie.

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.

16 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord.”

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

17 And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.

Og Profeten Hananja døde samme År i den syvende Måned.
