Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his force unto Jerusalem, and they lay siege against 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 of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, hath the city been broken up;
i Zedekiass ellevte År på den niende Dag i den fjerde Måned blev Byen stormet
3 and come in do all the heads of the king of Babylon, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, chief of the eunuchs, Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the rest of the heads 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 And it cometh to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah, and all the men of war, have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goeth forth the way of the plain.
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 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him — judgments.
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 And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, yea, all the freemen of Judah hath the king of Babylon slaughtered.
Babels Konge lod i Ribla Zedekiass Sønner dræbe i hans Påsyn; også alle de ypperste i Juda lod Babels Konge dræbe;
7 And the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him with brazen fetters, to bring him in to Babylon.
derpå lod han Øjnene stikke ud på Zedekias og lod ham lægge i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
8 And the house of the king, and the house of the people, have the Chaldeans burnt with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem they have broken down.
kaldæerne satte Ild på Kongens Palads og Folkets Huse og nedbrød Jerusalems Mure.
9 And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, removed [to] Babylon.
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 And of the poor people, who have nothing, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left in the land of Judah, and he giveth to them vineyards and fields on the 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 And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon giveth a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,
Men om Jeremias bød Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan:
12 'Take him, and place thine eyes upon him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaketh unto thee, so do with him.'
"Tag ham og hav Øje med ham og gør ham ingen Men; gør med ham, som han selv ønsker!"
13 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners sendeth, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon;
Så sendte Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan, Overhofmanden Nebusjazban og Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sarezer og alle Babels Konges andre Stormænd
14 yea, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwelleth in the midst of 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 And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been — in his being detained in the court of the prison — saying:
Medens Jeremias sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, kom HERRENs Ord til ham således:
16 'Go, and thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good, and they have been before thee in 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 And I have delivered thee in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah — and thou art not given into the hand of the men of whose face thou art afraid,
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 do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
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
