Jeremiah 34
1 THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN, da Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel og hele hans Hær og alle Riger paa Jorden, der stod under hans Herredømme, og alle Folkeslag angreb Jerusalem og alle dets Byer; det lød:
2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Gaa hen og sig til Kong Zedekias af Juda: Saa siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i Babels Konges Haand, og han skal afbrænde den.
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
Og du skal ikke undslippe hans Haand, men gribes og overgives i hans Haand og se Babels Konge Øje til Øje, og han skal tale med dig Mund til Mund, og du skal komme til Babel.
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
Hør dog HERRENS Ord, Kong Zedekias af Juda: Saa siger HERREN om dig: Du skal ikke falde for Sværdet,
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the Lord.
men dø i Fred, og ligesom man brændte til Ære for dine Fædre, Kongerne før dig, saaledes skal man brænde til Ære for dig og klage over dig: »Ve, Herre!« saa sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra HERREN.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Og Profeten Jeremias talte alle disse Ord til Kong Zedekias af Juda i Jerusalem,
7 When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
medens Babels Konges Hær angreb Jerusalem og begge de Byer i Juda, der var tilbage, Lakisj og Azeka; thi disse faste Stæder var tilbage af Judas Byer.
8 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN, efter at Kong Zedekias havde sluttet en Pagt med alt Folket i Jerusalem og udraabt Frigivelse,
9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
saaledes at enhver skulde lade sin Træl og Trælkvinde gaa bort i Frihed, saafremt de var Hebræere, og ikke mere lade en judæisk Broder trælle.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
Og alle Fyrsterne og alt Folket, som havde indgaaet Pagten om, at enhver skulde lade sin Træl og Trælkvinde gaa bort i Frihed og ikke mere lade dem trælle, adlød; de adlød og lod dem gaa.
11 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Men siden skiftede de Sind og tog Trællene og Trælkvinderne, som de havde ladet gaa bort i Frihed, tilbage og tvang dem til at være Trælle og Trælkvinder.
12 Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Da kom HERRENS Ord til Jeremias saaledes:
13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg sluttede en Pagt med eders Fædre, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset, idet jeg sagde:
14 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
»Naar der er gaaet syv Aar, skal enhver af eder lade sin hebraiske Landsmand, som har solgt sig til dig og tjent dig i seks Aar, gaa bort; du skal lade ham gaa af din Tjeneste i Frihed!« Men eders Fædre hørte mig ikke og laante mig ikke Øre.
15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Nys omvendte I eder og gjorde, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, idet I udraabte Frigivelse, hver for sin Broder, og I sluttede en Pagt for mit Aasyn i det Hus, mit Navn er nævnet over,
16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
men siden skiftede I Sind og vanhelligede mit Navn, idet enhver af eder tog sin Træl eller Trælkvinde tilbage, som I havde ladet gaa bort i Frihed, om de ønskede det, og tvang dem til at være eders Trælle og Trælkvinder.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Derfor, saa siger HERREN: Da I ikke hørte mig og udraabte Frigivelse, hver for sin Broder og hver for sin Næste, vil jeg nu udraabe Frigivelse for eder, lyder det fra HERREN, saa I hjemfalder til Sværd, Pest og Hunger, og jeg vil gøre eder til Rædsel for alle Jordens Riger.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
Og jeg giver de Mænd, som har overtraadt min Pagt og ikke holdt den Pagts Ord, som de sluttede for mit Aasyn, da de slagtede Kalven og skar den i to Stykker, mellem hvilke de gik,
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
Judas og Jerusalems Fyrster, Hofmændene og Præsterne og hele Landets Befolkning, som gik mellem Stykkerne af Kalven —
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
dem giver jeg i deres Fjenders Haand og i deres Haand, som staar dem efter Livet, og deres Lig skal blive Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr til Æde.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
Og Kong Zedekias af Juda og hans Fyrster giver jeg i deres Fjenders Haand og i deres Haand, som staar dem efter Livet. Og Babels Konges Hær, som drog bort fra eder,
22 Behold, I will command, saith the Lord, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
se, den byder jeg, lyder det fra HERREN, at vende tilbage til denne By, og de skal angribe den og indtage og afbrænde den; og Judas Byer lægger jeg øde, saa ingen bor der!
