< Jeremiah 36 >

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Og det skete i Judas Konge Jojakims, Josias's Søns, fjerde Aar, at dette Ord kom til Jeremias fra Herren:
2 “Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to 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 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may 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 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the LORD’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
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 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into the LORD’s house.
Og Jeremias befalede Baruk og sagde: Jeg er forhindret, jeg kan ikke komme til Herrens Hus.
6 Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the LORD’s words, in the ears of the people in the LORD’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
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 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will each return from his evil way; for the LORD has pronounced great anger and wrath 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 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the LORD’s words in the LORD’s house.
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 Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.
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 Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, 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 the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the LORD’s words,
Og Mikaja, Gemarjas Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, hørte alle Herrens Ord i Bogen.
12 he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the 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 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read 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 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to 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 They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
Og de sagde til ham: Sæt dig nu og læs den for vore Øren; og Baruk læste den for deres Øren.
16 Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one towards another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of 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 They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you 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 Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
Og Baruk sagde til dem: Han foresagde mig alle disse Ord af sin Mund, medens jeg skrev dem i Bogen med Blæk.
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
Da sagde Fyrsterne til Baruk: Gak hen, skjul dig, du og Jeremias, og lad ingen vide, hvor I ere.
20 They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
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 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside 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, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
Og Kongen sad i Vinterhuset, i den niende Maaned, medens Ildbækkenet stod med Gløder for hans Ansigt.
23 When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
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 The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
Og de forfærdedes ikke og sønderreve ikke deres Klæder, hverken Kongen eller nogen af hans Tjenere, da de hørte alle disse Ord;
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.
og uagtet Elnatan og Delaja og Gemarja bade Kongen, at han ikke maatte opbrænde Rullen, hørte han dem dog ikke.
26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD 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 the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at 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 “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burnt.
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 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘The LORD says: “You have burnt this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
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 the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
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 I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.”’”
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 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burnt in the fire; and many similar words were added to 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.
