Jeremiah 26
1 This message came from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah king of Judah,
I Joasias's søns, kong Jojakim af Judas, første regeringstid kom dette ord fra HERREN:
2 This is what the Lord says: Go and stand in the Temple courtyard and deliver the whole message I have ordered you to give to everyone who comes from all the towns of Judah to worship there. Don't leave out a single word.
Så siger HERREN: Stå frem i Forgården til HERRENs Hus og tal til hele Juda, som kommer for at tilbede i HERRENs Hus, alle de Ord, jeg har pålagt dig at tale til dem; udelad ikke et Ord!
3 Maybe they'll they will listen, and each of them will give up their evil ways so that I won't have to carry out the disaster I'm planning to bring down on them because of the evil things they do.
Måske hører de og omvender sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, så jeg kan angre det onde, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem for deres onde Gerningers Skyld.
4 Tell them that this is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have given you,
Sig til dem: Så siger HERREN: Hvis I ikke hører mig og følger den Lov, jeg har forelagt eder,
5 and if you don't listen to the messages of my servants the prophets—I've sent them to you time and again, but you refused to listen—
så I hører mine Tjenere Profeternes Ord, som jeg årle og silde sendte eder, skønt I ikke vilde høre,
6 then I will destroy this Temple like I did Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse word used by everyone on earth.
så gør jeg med dette Hus som med Silo og giver alle Jordens Folk denne By at forbande ved.
7 The priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah deliver this message in the Lord's Temple.
Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENs Hus;
8 As soon as he had finished telling everyone all that the Lord had ordered him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people grabbed him, shouting, “You'll die for this!
og da Jeremias havde sagt alt, hvad HERREN havde pålagt ham at sige til alt Folket, greb Præsterne og Profeterne og alt Folket ham og sagde: "Du skal dø!
9 How dare you claim to speak in the Lord's name here in the Temple and declare that it will be destroyed like Shiloh, and that this city will be left empty and abandoned?” Everyone crowded around Jeremiah threatening him in the Lord's Temple.
Hvor tør du profetere i HERRENs Navn og sige: Det skal gå dette Hus som Silo, og denne By skal ødelægges, så ingen bor der!" Og alt Folket stimlede sammen om Jeremias i HERRENs Hus.
10 When the leaders of Judah heard what happened they came from the king's palace to the Lord's Temple and sat at the entrance of the New Gate of the Temple to judge the case.
Da Judas Fyrster hørte det, gik de fra Kongens Palads op til HERRENs Hus og tog Sæde ved Indgangen til HERRENs nye Port.
11 The priests and prophets complained to the leaders and all the people, “This man is deserves the death penalty because he has committed treason by prophesying against this city. You heard it yourselves!”
Så sagde Præsterne og Profeterne til Fyrsterne og alt Folket: "Denne Mand har gjort halsløs Gerning, thi han har profeteret mod denne By, som I selv hørte."
12 Jeremiah addressed all the leaders and all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to deliver every word of this prophecy against this Temple as you've heard.
Men Jeremias sagde til Fyrsterne og alt Folket: "HERREN sendte mig for at profetere mod dette Hus og denne By alle de Ord, I hørte.
13 So change your ways and do what's right, and do what Lord your God tells you, so that he won't have to carry out the disaster he has announced he will bring down on you.
Bedrer dog eders Veje og eders Gerninger og hør på HERREN eders Guds Røst, at HERREN må angre det onde, han har talet imod eder.
14 As far as I'm concerned, I'm in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right.
Men se, jeg er i eders Hånd; gør med mig, hvad der er godt og billigt i eders Øjne!
15 But be careful, because you need to be aware that if you kill me, you will make yourselves, this city, and everyone who lives here guilty of murder, because it's true that the Lord sent me to tell you everything he said.”
Dog skal I vide, at hvis I dræber mig, så bringer I uskyldigt Blod over eder og denne By og dens Indbyggere; thi sandelig sendte HERREN mig for at tale alle disse ord til eder."
16 Then the leaders and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man doesn't deserve the death penalty because he was speaking on behalf of the Lord our God.”
Da sagde Fyrsterne og alt Folket til Præsterne og Profeterne: "Denne Mand har ikke gjort halsløs Gerning, men talt til os i HERREN vor Guds Navn."
17 Some of the country's elders stood up and addressed everyone gathered there.
Og nogle af Landets Ældste trådte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah that this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Zion will become like a plowed field; Jerusalem will end up a pile of rubble; and the Temple mount will be overgrown with trees.’
"Mika fra Moresjet profeterede på Kong Ezekias af Judas Tid og sagde til alt Judas Folk: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Zion skal pløjes som en Mark, Jerusalem blive til Grushobe, Tempelbjerget til Krathøj.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in the country have him killed? Didn't Hezekiah respect the Lord and plead with him? Didn't the Lord change his mind about the disaster he had announced against them? But we are about to bring a great disaster on ourselves!”
Mon Kong Ezekias af Juda og hele Juda dræbte ham? Frygtede de ikke HERREN og bad ham om Nåde, så HERREN angrede det onde, han havde truet dem med? Vi er ved at bringe stor Ulykke over vore Sjæle."
20 At around that time there was another man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Uriah, son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against Jerusalem and against the country just as Jeremiah did.
Der var også en anden Mand, som profeterede i HERRENs Navn, Urija, Sjemajas Søn, fra Kirjat Jearim; og han profeterede mod denne By og dette Land med de samme Ord som Jeremias.
21 King Jehoiakim and all his military officers and officials heard what he was saying, and the king wanted to have him executed. But when Uriah found out about it, he was frightened and ran away to Egypt.
Da Kong Jojakim og alle hans Krigsfolk og alle Fyrsterne hørte hans Ord, stod han ham efter Livet; og da Urija hørte det, blev han bange og flygtede og kom til Ægypten.
22 But King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan, son of Achbor, along with some others.
Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
23 They brought Uriah back from Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim. The king killed him with a sword and had his body thrown into the public graveyard.
og de bragte Urija hjem fra Ægypten og førte ham til Kong Jojakim, som lod ham hugge ned med Sværdet og hans Lig kaste hen, hvor Småfolk havde deres Grave.
24 However, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, took Jeremiah's side so he was not handed over to the people to be killed.
Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Hånden over Jeremias, så han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Hånd og dræbt.
