< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:
Og det skete i Judas Konge Jojakims, Josias's Søns, fjerde Aar, at dette Ord kom til Jeremias fra Herren:
2 Take thee a scroll, and write therein all the words which I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel and concerning Judah and concerning all the nations, —from the day I began to speak unto thee from the days of Josiah, even until this day:
Tag din Bogrulle og skriv i den alle de Ord, som jeg har talt til dig om Israel og om Juda og om alle Hedningerne, fra den Dag af, da jeg har talt til dig, fra Josias's Dage og indtil denne Dag.
3 Peradventure, the house of Judah will hearken unto all the calamity, which I am devising to execute against them, —to the end they may return every man from his wicked way, whereupon I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.
Maaske Judas Hus vilde høre al den Ulykke, som jeg tænker at gøre imod dem, for at de kunde omvende sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, og jeg kunde forlade dem deres Misgerninger og deres Synd.
4 So Jeremiah called Baruch, son of Neriah, —and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of Yahweh which he had spoken unto him upon a scroll.
Da kaldte Jeremias ad Baruk, Nerias Søn; og Baruk skrev efter Jeremias's Mund alle Herrens Ord, som han havde talt til ham, i Bogrullen.
5 Then did Jeremiah command Baruch, saying, —I, am hindered, I cannot enter the house of Yahweh;
Og Jeremias befalede Baruk og sagde: Jeg er forhindret, jeg kan ikke komme til Herrens Hus.
6 Thou, therefore shalt enter and read in the roll which thou hast written from my mouth the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in the house of Yahweh on the day of a fast, —moreover also, in the ears of all Judah who are coming in out of their cities, shalt thou read them:
Men gak du og læs op af Rullen, som du har skrevet efter min Mund, Herrens Ord for Folkets Øren i Herrens Hus paa Fastedagen; ogsaa for Ørene af alle Judas Folk, som ere komne op fra deres Stæder, skal du læse dem.
7 Peradventure, their supplication, will fall prostrate, before Yahweh, and they return every man from his wicked way, —For, great, are the anger and the indignation which Yahweh hath spoken against this people.
Maaske deres ydmyge Begæring kunde komme ind for Herrens Ansigt, og de maatte omvende sig, hver fra sin onde Vej; thi stor er Vreden og Fortørnelsen, som Herren har udtalt imod dette Folk.
8 So then Baruch son of Neriah did according to all which Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
Og Baruk, Nerias Søn, gjorde efter alt det, som Profeten Jeremias havde befalet ham, om at han skulde læse af Bogen Herrens Ord i Herrens Hus.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah in the ninth month, that all the people of Jerusalem, and all the people who were coming in out of the cities of Judah into Jerusalem, had proclaimed a fast before Yahweh;
Og det skete i Judas Konge Jojakims, Josias's Søns, femte Aar, i den niende Maaned, at alt Folket i Jerusalem og alt Folket, som var kommet fra Judas Stæder til Jerusalem, udraabte en Faste for Herrens Ansigt.
10 Baruch, therefore, read in the book the words of Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh, —in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan—the scribe, in the upper court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Yahweh, in the ears of all the people.
Og Baruk læste Jeremias's Ord op af Bogen, i Herrens Hus, i Skriveren Gemarjas, Safans Søns, Kammer, i den øverste Forgaard, ved Indgangen igennem den nye Port paa Herrens Hus, for hele Folkets Øren.
11 When Micaiah, son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh out of the book,
Og Mikaja, Gemarjas Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, hørte alle Herrens Ord i Bogen.
12 then went he down unto the house of the king up to the chamber of the scribe, and lo! there, all the princes sitting, —Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Achbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the princes,
Og han gik ned til Kongens Hus til Skriverens Kammer, og se, der sade alle Fyrsterne: Skriveren Elisama og Delaja, Semajas Søn, og Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og Gemarja, Safans Søn, og Zedekias, Hananjas Søn, ja, alle Fyrsterne.
13 So Micaiah told them all the words which he heard, —when Baruch read in the book in the ears of the people.
Og Mikaja forkyndte dem alle Ordene, som han havde hørt, der Baruk læste op af Bogen for Folkets øren.
14 All the princes, therefore sent unto Baruch, Jehudi, son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi saying, The roll wherein thou didst read in the ears of the people, take it in thy hand, and come, So Baruch son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came in unto them.
Da sendte alle Fyrsterne Judi, en Søn af Netanja, der var en Søn af Selemja, der var en Søn af Kusi, til Baruk, og lode sige: Tag den Rulle, af hvilken du læste op for Folkets Øren, i din Haand og kom hid; og Baruk, Nerias Søn, tog Rullen i sin Haand og kom til dem.
15 Then said they unto him, Sit down we pray thee and read it in our ears, So Baruch read it in their ears.
Og de sagde til ham: Sæt dig nu og læs den for vore Øren; og Baruk læste den for deres Øren.
16 And it came to pass when they heard all the words, that they turned with fear one to another, —and said unto Baruch, We must, surely tell, the king, all these words!
Og det skete, der de hørte alle disse Ord, forfærdedes de, den ene for den anden; og de sagde til Baruk: Vi maa forkynde Kongen alle disse Ord.
17 Then unto Baruch, put they questions saying, —Tell us, we pray thee, How, didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
Og de spurgte Baruk og sagde: Giv os dog til Kende, hvorledes du skrev alle disse Ord efter hans Mund?
18 So Baruch said unto them, With his own mouth, used he to proclaim unto me all these words, —and I kept on writing in the book, with ink.
Og Baruk sagde til dem: Han foresagde mig alle disse Ord af sin Mund, medens jeg skrev dem i Bogen med Blæk.
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man, know where ye, are!
Da sagde Fyrsterne til Baruk: Gak hen, skjul dig, du og Jeremias, og lad ingen vide, hvor I ere.
20 Then went they in unto the king, into the court, but the roll, had they put in charge, in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —so they declared in the ears of the king all the words.
Og de kom til Kongen i Forgaarden, da de havde henlagt Rullen i Skriveren Elisamas Kammer, og de forkyndte alle Ordene for Kongens Øren.
21 The king, therefore sent, Jehudi, to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —and Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who were standing near the king.
Da sendte Kongen Judi for at hente Rullen, og han tog den fra Skriveren Elisamas Kammer; og Judi læste den op for Kongens Øren og for alle de Fyrsters Øren, som stode hos Kongen.
22 Now, the king, was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, —with the fire-stove before him burning.
Og Kongen sad i Vinterhuset, i den niende Maaned, medens Ildbækkenet stod med Gløder for hans Ansigt.
23 So then it came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four columns that he cut it up into fragments with a scribe’s knife, and cast them into the fire that was in the stove, —until, all the roll, was consumed on the fire that was on the stove.
Og det skete, der Judi havde læst tre eller fire Stykker, skar han dem af med Skriverens Kniv og kastede dem i Ilden, som var paa Bækkenet, indtil den hele Rulle blev opbrændt i Ilden, som var paa Bækkenet.
24 Yet were they not in dread, neither rent they their garments, —the king, nor any of his servants that were hearing all these words.
Og de forfærdedes ikke og sønderreve ikke deres Klæder, hverken Kongen eller nogen af hans Tjenere, da de hørte alle disse Ord;
25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah, interceded with the king, not to burn the roll, —but he hearkened not unto them.
og uagtet Elnatan og Delaja og Gemarja bade Kongen, at han ikke maatte opbrænde Rullen, hørte han dem dog ikke.
26 Then did the king command Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to fetch Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, —but Yahweh had hid them.
Og Kongen bød Jerameel, Meleks Søn, og Seraja, Afriels Søn, og Selemja, Abdeels Søn, at gribe Skriveren Baruk og Profeten Jeremias; men Herren skjulte dem.
27 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, efter at Kongen havde opbrændt Rullen med Ordene, som Baruk havde skrevet efter Jeremias's Mund; det lød saaledes:
28 Again take thee another roll, and write thereon, all the former words which were on the first roll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burned.
Tag dig igen en anden Rulle, og skriv i den alle de forrige Ord, som stode i den forrige Rulle, hvilken Jojakim, Judas Konge, har opbrændt.
29 But unto Jehoiakim king of Judah, shalt thou say, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, hast burned this roll saying, Why hast thou written thereon—saying, The king of Babylon shall, certainly, come and lay waste this land, and cause to cease therefrom man and beast?
Og om Jojakim, Judas Konge skal du sige: Saa siger Herren: Du opbrændte denne Rulle og sagde: Hvorfor skrev du saaledes deri: Kongen af Babel skal komme og ødelægge dette Land og udrydde baade Folk og Fæ deraf?
30 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, —He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, —And, his dead body, shall be cast out—to the heat by day, and to the frost by night;
Derfor, saa siger Herren om Jojakim, Judas Konge: For ham skal der ingen være, som sidder paa Davids Trone, og hans døde Krop skal være henkastet for Heden om Dagen og for Frosten om Natten.
31 And I will visit upon him and upon his seed and upon his servants the punishment of their iniquity, —and will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and against, the men of Judah, all the calamity, which I have spoken against them but they have not hearkened.
Og jeg vil hjemsøge ham og hans Sæd og hans Tjenere for deres Misgerning, og jeg vil bringe over dem og over Jerusalems Indbyggere og over Judas Mænd al den Ulykke, som jeg har udtalt over dem, uden at de vilde høre.
32 So, Jeremiah, took another roll and gave it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, who wrote thereon, from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book, which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned, in the fire, —and further were added thereunto many words like unto them
Da tog Jeremias en anden Rulle og gav Skriveren Baruk, Nerias Søn, den, og han skrev i den efter Jeremias's Mund alle Ordene fra den Bog, som Jojakim, Kongen i Juda, havde opbrændt i Ilden; og der blev desuden endnu tillagte mange lignende Ord.
