Jeremiah 28

1 This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front of the priests and all the people:

Og det skete i dette Aar, i Begyndelsen af Judas Konge Zedekias's Regering, i det fjerde Aar, i den femte Maaned, at Profeten Hananias, Assurs Søn, som var fra Gibeon, sagde saaledes til mig i Herrens Hus, for Præsterne og alt Folkets Øjne:

2 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Jeg har sønderbrudt Kongen af Babels Aag.

3 Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took to Babylon.

Inden et Par Aars Tid er omme, vil jeg føre tilbage til dette Sted alle Herrens Hus's Kar, som Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, tog fra dette Sted og førte til Babel.

4 I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

Og Jekonias, Jojakims Søn, Judas Konge og alle bortførte af Juda, som ere komne til Babel, vil jeg føre tilbage til dette Sted, siger Herren; thi jeg vil sønderbryde Kongen af Babels Aag.

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.

Og Profeten Jeremias sagde til Profeten Hananias for Præsternes Øjne og for alt Folkets Øjne, medens de stode i Herrens Hus,

6 “Amen!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.

ja, Profeten Jeremias sagde: Amen! Herren gøre saa, Herren stadfæste dine Ord, som du har spaaet om, at han vil lade Herrens Hus's Kar og alle bortførte komme tilbage fra Babel til dette Sted!

7 But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.

Men hør kun dette Ord, som jeg taler for dine Øren og for alt Folkets Øren:

8 The prophets of long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries and great kingdoms.

Profeterne, som have været før mig og før dig af fordums Tid, spaaede imod mange Lande og imod store Riger om Krig og om Ulykke og om Pest.

9 When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”

Men naar Profeten spaar om Fred, saa vil han, naar Profetens Ord gaar i Opfyldelse, erkendes som den Profet, Herren i Sandhed har sendt.

10 Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.

Da tog Profeten Hananias Aaget af Profeten Jeremias's Hals og sønderbrød det.

11 Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.

Og Hananias sagde saaledes for alt Folkets Øjne: Saa siger Herren: Saaledes vil jeg inden et Par Aars Tid er omme, bryde Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babels Aag af alle Folkenes Hals; og Profeten Jeremias gik sin Vej.

12 However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message of the Lord came to Jeremiah:

Men Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, efter at Profeten Hananias havde brudt Aaget af Profeten Jeremias's Hals, og han sagde:

13 “Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the Lord says: You may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.

Gak og sig saaledes til Hananias: Saa siger Herren: Du har sønderbrudt Træaag, men du har gjort Jernaag i Stedet for.

14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”

Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Jeg har lagt et Jernaag paa alle disse Folks Hals, at de maa tjene Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, og de skulle tjene ham; ogsaa de vilde Dyr paa Marken har jeg givet ham.

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe in a lie.

Og Profeten Jeremias sagde til Profeten Hananias: Hør dog, Hananias! Herren har ikke sendt dig, og du har faaet dette Folk til at forlade sig paa Løgn.

16 So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”

Derfor, saa siger Herren: Se, jeg vil sende dig bort fra Jordens Kreds; i dette Aar skal du dø, thi du har prædiket Frafald fra Herren.

17 The prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that very year.

Saa døde Profeten Hananias i det samme Aar, i den syvende Maaned.
