Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første Regeringstid kom dette Ord til Jeremias fra HERREN:
2 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gør dig Reb og Aagstænger og læg dem paa din Hals
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
og send Edoms, Moabs, Ammoniternes, Tyrus's og Zidons Konger Bud ved deres Sendemænd, som er kommet til Kong Zedekias af Juda i Jerusalem;
4 And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;
byd dem at sige til deres Herrer: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Sig til eders Herrer:
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my out-stretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.
Jeg skabte Jorden og Menneskene og Kvæget paa Jorden ved min vældige Styrke og min udrakte Haand, og jeg giver den, til hvem jeg finder for godt.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
Og nu giver jeg alle disse Lande i min Tjener Kong Nebukadnezar af Babels Haand, selv Markens Vildt giver jeg hen til at trælle for ham.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.
Alle Folk skal trælle for ham, hans Søn og Sønnesøn, indtil ogsaa hans Lands Time slaar og mange Folkeslag og store Konger gør ham til deres Træl.
8 And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Og det Folk og det Rige, som ikke vil trælle for ham, Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel, og bøje Hals under Babels Konges Aag, det vil jeg hjemsøge med Sværd, Hunger og Pest, lyder det fra HERREN, til det er tilintetgjort ved hans Haand.
9 Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
I skal ikke høre paa eders Profeter og Spaamænd, eders Drømmere, Sandsigere og Troldmænd, som siger til eder: »I skal ikke komme til at trælle for Babels Konge; «
10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
thi det er Løgn, de profeterer for eder for at faa eder bort fra eders Jord, idet jeg da driver eder bort og I gaar til Grunde.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
Men det Folk, der bøjer Hals under Babels Konges Aag og træller for ham, vil jeg lade blive paa sin Jord, lyder det fra HERREN, saa det kan dyrke den og bo der.
12 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Og til Kong Zedekias af Juda talte jeg i Overensstemmelse med alle disse Ord: Bøj Hals under Babels Konges Aag og træl for ham og hans Folk, saa skal I leve.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Hvorfor vil du og dit Folk dø ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest, saaledes som HERREN truede det Folk, der ikke vil trælle for Babels Konge?
14 Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Hør ikke paa Profeternes Ord, naar de siger til eder: »I skal ikke komme til at trælle for Babels Konge«; thi Løgn profeterer de eder.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
Jeg har ikke sendt dem, lyder det fra HERREN, og de profeterer Løgn i mit Navn, for at jeg skal bortstøde eder, saa I gaar til Grunde sammen med Profeterne, der profeterer for eder.
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
Og til Præsterne og alt dette Folk talte jeg saaledes: Saa siger HERREN: Hør ikke paa eders Profeters Ord, naar de profeterer for eder og siger: »Se, HERRENS Hus's Kar skal nu snart føres hjem fra Babel.« Thi Løgn profeterer de eder.
17 Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
Hør dem ikke, men træl for Babels Konge, saa skal I leve. Hvorfor skal denne By lægges øde?
18 But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
Er de Profeter og har HERRENS Ord, saa lad dem gaa i Forbøn hos Hærskarers HERRE, at de Kar, der er tilbage i HERRENS Hus og Judas Konges Palads, ikke ogsaa skal komme til Babel.
19 For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE om Søjlerne, Havet og Stellene og om de sidste Kar, der er tilbage i denne By,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
dem, som Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel ikke tog med, da han bortførte Jojakims Søn, Kong Jekonja af Juda, fra Jerusalem til Babel med alle de ypperste i Juda og Jerusalem,
21 Yes, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
ja, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud, om de Kar, der er tilbage i HERRENS Hus og Judas Konges Palads og i Jerusalem:
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
De skal føres til Babel, og der skal de blive, til den Dag jeg tager mig af dem og fører dem op og bringer dem tilbage hertil, lyder det fra HERREN.
