Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been from YHWH, saying,
I Joasias's søns, kong Jojakim af Judas, første regeringstid kom dette ord fra HERREN:
2 “Thus said YHWH: Stand in the court of the house of YHWH, and you have spoken to all [those of] the cities of Judah, who are coming to bow themselves in the house of YHWH, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them—you do not diminish a 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 Perhaps they listen, and each turns back from his evil way; then I have relented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
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 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I set before you,
Sig til dem: Så siger HERREN: Hvis I ikke hører mig og følger den Lov, jeg har forelagt eder,
5 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you, indeed, rising early and sending, and you have not listened,
så I hører mine Tjenere Profeternes Ord, som jeg årle og silde sendte eder, skønt I ikke vilde høre,
6 then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.”
så gør jeg med dette Hus som med Silo og giver alle Jordens Folk denne By at forbande ved.
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH,
Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENs Hus;
8 and it comes to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah’s speaking all that YHWH has commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, “You surely die!
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 Why have you prophesied in the Name of YHWH, saying, This house will be as Shiloh, and this city is desolated, without inhabitant?” And all the people are assembled to Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
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 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and sit in the opening of the New Gate of YHWH.
Da Judas Fyrster hørte det, gik de fra Kongens Palads op til HERRENs Hus og tog Sæde ved Indgangen til HERRENs nye Port.
11 And the priests and the prophets speak to the heads, and to all the people, saying, “Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
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 And Jeremiah speaks to all the heads, and to all the people, saying, “YHWH sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that you have 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 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the evil that He has spoken against 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 And I, behold, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
Men se, jeg er i eders Hånd; gør med mig, hvad der er godt og billigt i eders Øjne!
15 only, certainly know that if you are putting me to death, you are surely putting innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for YHWH has truly sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
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 And the heads and all the people say to the priests and to the prophets, “There is not a judgment of death for this man, for he has spoken to us in the Name of our God YHWH.”
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 And men from [the] elderly of the land rise up and speak to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Og nogle af Landets Ældste trådte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
18 “Micah the Morashtite has been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he says to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
"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 and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear YHWH? Indeed, he appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the calamity that He spoke against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.”
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 And there has also been a man prophesying in the Name of YHWH, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesies against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
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 and King Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeks to put him to death, and Urijah hears, and fears, and flees, and goes 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 And King Jehoiakim sends men to Egypt—Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him to Egypt—
Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
23 and they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him to King Jehoiakim, and he strikes him with a sword, and casts his corpse to the graves of the sons of the people.
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 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan has been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Hånden over Jeremias, så han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Hånd og dræbt.
