Jeremiah 39
1 And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
— i Judas Konges, Zedekias's, niende Aar, i den tiende Maaned, kom Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, og al hans Hær til Jerusalem, og de belejrede den.
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
I Zedekias's ellevte Aar, i den fjerde Maaned, paa den niende Dag i Maaneden, brød man ind i Staden.
3 and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Og alle Kongen af Babels Fyrster droge ind, og de satte sig i den mellemste Port: Nergal-Sarezer, Samger-Nebo, Sarsekim-Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer-Rabmag og alle Babels Konges øvrige Fyrster.
4 And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
Og det skete, at Zedekias, Judas Konge, og alle Krigsmændene, der de saa dem, flyede og gik om Natten ud af Staden, ad Vejen til Kongens Have, igennem Porten imellem de to Mure; og han drog ud ad Vejen til Sletten.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær forfulgte dem, og de naaede Zedekias paa Sletten ved Jeriko og grebe ham og førte ham op til Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, til Ribla i Hamats Land; og han holdt Ret over ham.
6 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
Og Kongen af Babel ihjelslog Zedekias's Børn i Ribla for hans Øjne; og Kongen af Babel ihjelslog alle de ypperste i Juda.
7 and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
Og man blindede Zedekias's Øjne og bandt ham med to Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Og Kaldæerne opbrændte Kongens Hus og Folkets Huse med Ild; og de nedbrøde Jerusalems Mure.
9 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
Og de øvrige af Folket, som vare blevne tilbage i Staden, og de frafaldne, som vare gaaede over til ham, de øvrige af Folket, som vare blevne tilbage, dem bortførte Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, til Babel.
10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Men af det fattige Folk, som ikke ejede noget, lod Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten, nogle blive tilbage i Judas Land; og han gav dem Vingaarde og Agre paa den samme Dag.
11 And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
Men Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, gav Befaling om Jeremias, ved Nebuzar-Adan, den øverste for Livvagten og sagde:
12 Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
Tag ham og lad dine Øjne være over ham og gør ham ikke noget ondt; men eftersom han taler til dig, saa gør du med ham.
13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
Da sendte Nebusar-Adan, Øversten for Livvagten og Nebusasban-Rabsaris og Nergal-Sarezer-Rabmag og alle Kongen af Babels Stormænd
14 even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
de sendte Bud og toge Jeremias ud af Fængselets Forgaard og overgave ham til Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, for at føre ham til Huset; og han boede midt iblandt Folket.
15 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Og Herrens Ord var kommet til Jeremias, der han var indelukket i Fængselets Forgaard, saalunde:
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
Gaa og sig til Kusiten Ebed-Melek: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil lade mine Ord komme over denne Stad til det onde og ikke til det gode; og de skulle opfyldes for dit Ansigt den Dag;
17 And 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;
men dig vil jeg redde paa den Dag, siger Herren; og du skal ikke gives i de Mænds Haand, for hvis Ansigt du gruer.
18 for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
Thi jeg vil visselig lade dig undkomme, og du skal ikke falde for Sværdet, men du skal have din Sjæl som et Bytte; thi du forlod dig paa mig, siger Herren.
