Jeremiah 39
1 In the tenth month of the ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his whole army arrived at Jerusalem and besieged it.
Efter at Jerusalem var indtaget — i Kong Zedekias af Judas niende Regeringsaar i den tiende Maaned, kom Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel med hele sin Hær til Jerusalem og belejrede det;
2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, the city wall was broken through.
i Zedekias's ellevte Aar paa den niende Dag i den fjerde Maaned blev Byen stormet —
3 All the officials of the king of Babylon came in and took over the city, making their headquarters at the Middle Gate. They were Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the other officials of the king of Babylon.
da kom alle Babels Konges Fyrster og satte sig i Midterporten: Overhofmanden Nebusjazban, Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sar'ezer og alle Babels Konges andre Fyrster.
4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the defenders saw them there, they ran away. They escaped from the city during the night through the king's garden, passing through the gate between the two walls, and took the road to the Arabah.
Da Kong Zedekias af Juda og alle hans Krigsmænd saa dem, flygtede de om Natten fra Byen ad Vejen til Kongens Have gennem Porten mellem de to Mure og tog Vejen ad Araba til.
5 But the Babylonian army chased after them and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and brought him before Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he put him on trial and punished him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter dem og indhentede Zedekias paa Jerikos Lavslette; og de tog ham med og bragte ham op til Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel i Ribla i Hamats Land; og han fældede hans Dom.
6 The king of Babylon had Zedekiah's sons killed as Zedekiah watched, and he also executed all of Judah's leaders there in Riblah.
Babels Konge lod i Ribla Zedekias's Sønner dræbe i hans Paasyn; ogsaa alle de ypperste i Juda lod Babels Konge dræbe;
7 Then he had Zedekiah's eyes gouged out, and had him bound with bronze chains and taken away to Babylon.
derpaa lod han Øjnene stikke ud paa Zedekias og lod ham lægge i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
8 The Babylonians burned down the king's palace and the people's houses, and they demolished Jerusalem's city walls.
Kaldæerne satte Ild paa Kongens Palads og Folkets Huse og nedbrød Jerusalems Mure.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried off to Babylon the rest of the people who had stayed in the city, together with those who had deserted and gone over to him.
Resten af Folket, der var levnet i Byen, Overløberne, der var løbet over til ham, og Resten af Haandværkerne førte Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan som Fanger til Babel,
10 But he left behind in the land of Judah some of the poorest people who didn't have any property. He gave them vineyards and fields at that time.
og kun nogle af den fattigste Befolkning, der intet ejede, lod Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan blive tilbage i Judas Land, idet han samtidig gav dem Vingaarde og Agre.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders to Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard regarding Jeremiah, saying,
Men om Jeremias bød Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan:
12 “Go and get Jeremiah and watch out that nothing bad happens to him. Do whatever he wants.”
»Tag ham og hav Øje med ham og gør ham ingen Men; gør med ham, som han selv ønsker!«
13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the army captains of the king of Babylon
Saa sendte Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan, Overhofmanden Nebusjazban og Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sar'ezer og alle Babels Konges andre Stormænd
14 took Jeremiah from the guard's courtyard, and they handed him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. Jeremiah stayed there with his own people.
Bud og lod Jeremias hente i Vagtforgaarden og overgav ham til Gedalja, en Søn af Sjafans Søn Ahikam, for at han skulde føre ham til hans Hjem; og han boede iblandt Folket.
15 During the time that Jeremiah had been kept prisoner in the guard's courtyard, a message from the Lord had come to him:
Medens Jeremias sad fængslet i Vagtforgaarden, kom HERRENS Ord til ham saaledes:
16 “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to keep my promise I made against this city—to harm it and not to help it—you'll see it for yourself when it happens.
Gaa hen og sig til Ætioperen Ebed-Melek: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, jeg lader mine Ord gaa i Opfyldelse paa denne By til Ulykke og ikke til Lykke, og du skal have dem i Tankerne paa hin Dag.
17 But when that day comes I'm going to save you, declares the Lord. You won't be handed over to the people you're afraid of.
Men paa hin Dag redder jeg dig, lyder det fra HERREN, og du skal ikke gives i de Mænds Haand, for hvem du frygter;
18 I promise to rescue you so that you're won't be killed. Your reward will be your life, because you trusted in me, declares the Lord.”
thi jeg vil frelse dig, saa du ikke falder for Sværdet, og du skal vinde dit Liv som Bytte, fordi du stolede paa mig, lyder det fra HERREN.
