Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
Efter at Jerusalem var indtaget, i kong Zedekias af Judas niene regeringsår i den tiende Måned, kom Kong Nebudkadrezar af Babel med hele sin Hær til Jerusalem og belejrede det;
2 In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
i Zedekiass ellevte År på den niende Dag i den fjerde Måned blev Byen stormet
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
da kom alle Babels konges Fyrster og satte sig i Midterporten: Overhofmanden Nebusjazban, Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sarezer og alle Babels Konges andre Fyrster.
4 It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
Da Kong Zedekias af Juda og alle hans Krigsmænd så 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 army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter dem og indhentede Zedekias på 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 slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
Babels Konge lod i Ribla Zedekiass Sønner dræbe i hans Påsyn; også alle de ypperste i Juda lod Babels Konge dræbe;
7 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
derpå lod han Øjnene stikke ud på Zedekias og lod ham lægge i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
8 Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
kaldæerne satte Ild på Kongens Palads og Folkets Huse og nedbrød Jerusalems Mure.
9 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
Resten af Folket, der var levnet i Byen, Overløberne, der var løbet over til ham, og Resten af Håndværkerne førte Livvagtens øverste Nebuzaradan som Fanger til Babel,
10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
og kun nogle af den fattigste Befolkning, der intet ejede, lod Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan blive tilbage i Judas Land, idet han samtidig gav dem Vingårde og Agre.
11 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
Men om Jeremias bød Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan:
12 “Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
"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 king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
Så sendte Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan, Overhofmanden Nebusjazban og Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sarezer og alle Babels Konges andre Stormænd
14 Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
Bud og, lod Jeremias hente i Vagtforgården 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 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
Medens Jeremias sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, kom HERRENs Ord til ham således:
16 “Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
Gå hen og sig til Ætioperen Ebed-Melek: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, jeg lader mine Ord gå i Opfyldelse på denne By til Ulykke og ikke til Lykke, og du skal have dem i Tankerne på hin Dag.
17 But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
Men på hin Dag redder jeg dig, lyder det fra HERREN, og du skal ikke gives i de Mænds Hånd, for hvem du frygter;
18 For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
thi jeg vil frelse dig, så du ikke falder for Sværdet, og du skal vinde dit Liv som Bytte, fordi du stolede på mig, lyder det fra HERREN
