Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh:
I Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, første Regeringstid kom dette Ord fra HERREN:
2 “Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.
Saa siger HERREN: Staa frem i Forgaarden til HERRENS Hus og tal til hele Juda, som kommer for at tilbede i HERRENS Hus, alle de Ord, jeg har paalagt dig at tale til dem; udelad ikke et Ord!
3 It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’”
Maaske hører de og omvender sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, saa jeg kan angre det onde, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem for deres onde Gerningers Skyld.
4 You shall tell them, “Yahweh says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you,
Sig til dem: Saa 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 send to you, even rising up early and sending them—but you have not listened—
saa I hører mine Tjenere Profeternes Ord, som jeg aarle og silde sendte eder, skønt I ikke vilde høre,
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’”
saa gør jeg med dette Hus som med Silo og giver alle Jordens Folk denne By at forbande ved.
7 The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in Yahweh’s house.
Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENS Hus;
8 When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die!
og da Jeremias havde sagt alt, hvad HERREN havde paalagt 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 Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in Yahweh’s house.
Hvor tør du profetere i HERRENS Navn og sige: Det skal gaa dette Hus som Silo, og denne By skal ødelægges, saa ingen bor der!« Og alt Folket stimlede sammen om Jeremias i HERRENS Hus.
10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to Yahweh’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house.
Da Judas Fyrster hørte det, gik de fra Kongens Palads op til HERRENS Hus og tog Sæde ved Indgangen til HERRENS nye Port.
11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
Saa 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 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against 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 Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey Yahweh your God’s voice; then Yahweh will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you.
Bedrer dog eders Veje og eders Gerninger og hør paa HERREN eders Guds Røst, at HERREN maa angre det onde, han har talet imod eder.
14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes.
Men se, jeg er i eders Haand; gør med mig, hvad der er godt og billigt i eders Øjne!
15 Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
Dog skal I vide, at hvis I dræber mig, saa 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 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
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 Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Og nogle af Landets Ældste traadte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:
18 “Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’
»Mika fra Moresjet profeterede paa Kong Ezekias af Judas Tid og sagde til alt Judas Folk: Saa 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? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”
Mon Kong Ezekias af Juda og hele Juda dræbte ham? Frygtede de ikke HERREN og bad ham om Naade, saa HERREN angrede det onde, han havde truet dem med? Vi er ved at bringe stor Ulykke over vore Sjæle.«
20 There was also a man who prophesied in Yahweh’s name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
Der var ogsaa 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 When Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into 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 Then Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt.
Men Kong Jojakim sendte Folk til Ægypten; han sendte Elnatan, Akbors Søn, og nogle andre til Ægypten,
23 They fetched Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common 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 Smaafolk havde deres Grave.
24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Men Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, holdt Haanden over Jeremias, saa han ikke blev overgivet i Folkets Haand og dræbt.
