Jeremia 27
1 Uti Jojakims rikes begynnelse, Josia sons, Juda Konungs, skedde detta ordet af Herranom till Jeremia, och sade:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Detta säger Herren till mig: Gör dig ett ok, och häng det på din hals;
Thus says the LORD to me; Make you bonds and yokes, and put them on your neck,
3 Och sänd det till Konungen i Edom, till Konungen i Moab, till Konungen öfver Ammons barn, till Konungen i Tyro, och till Konungen i Zidon, med de sändningabåd, som till Zedekia, Juda Konung, till Jerusalem komne äro;
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 Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 Och befall dem, att de säga sina herrar: Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Så skolen I säga edra herrar:
And command them to say to their masters, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your masters;
5 Jag hafvet gjort jordena, och menniskona, och djuren, som på jordene äro, genom mina stora kraft och uträcktom arm, och gifver henne hvem jag vill.
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.
6 Men nu hafver jag gifvit all denna landen uti mins tjenares hand, NebucadNezars, Konungens i Babel, och hafver desslikes gifvit honom de vilddjur på markene, att de honom tjena skola.
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.
7 Och all folk skola tjena honom, hans sone, och hans sonasone, tilldess hans lands tid ock kommer; då mång folk och stora Konungar skola låta tjena sig af honom.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
8 Men hvilket folk och rike icke vill tjena Konungenom af Babel, NebucadNezar, och hvilken som icke gifver sin hals under Konungens ok af Babel, det folket skall jag hemsöka med svärd, hunger och pestilentie, säger Herren, tilldess jag förgör dem genom hans hand.
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Derföre hörer intet edra Propheter, spåmän, drömtydare, dagsväljare och trollkarlar, som säga eder: I varden intet tjenande Konungenom af Babel.
Therefore listen not you to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10 Förty de spå eder lögn, på det de skola draga eder långt bort utur edart land, och jag då utdrifver eder, och I förgåns.
For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
11 Ty hvilket folk, som böjer sin hals under Konungens ok i Babel, och tjenar honom, dem skall jag låta blifva uti sitt land, att de måga der bygga och bo, säger Herren.
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, says the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 Och jag talade allt detta, till Zedekia, Juda Konung, och sade: Böjer edar hals under Konungens ok i Babel, och tjener honom och hans folke, så skolen I blifva lefvande.
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.
13 Hvi viljen I dö, du och ditt folk, genom svärd, hunger och pestilentie; såsom Herren sagt hafver öfver det folk, som Konungenom i Babel icke tjena, vill?
Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Derföre hörer de Propheters ord intet, som säga eder: I varden intet tjenande Konungenom af Babel; ty de prophetera eder lögn.
Therefore listen not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 Och jag hafver intet sändt dem, säger Herren, utan de prophetera lögn i mitt Namn på det jag skall utdrifva eder, och I förgås samt med Propheterna, som eder prophetera.
For I have not sent them, says the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
16 Och till Presterna, och till allt detta folket talade jag, och sade: Detta säger Herren: Hörer edra Propheters ord intet, som eder prophetera, och säga: Si, de kärile af Herrans hus komma nu snart ifrå Babel hem igen; förty de prophetera eder lögn.
Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD; Listen 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.
17 Hörer dem intet; utan tjener Konungenom af Babel, så blifven I lefvande. Hvi skulle dock denna staden varda till ett öde?
Listen not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
18 Äro de Propheter, och hafva Herrans ord, så låt dem det Herranom Zebaoth afbedja, att de qvarblefne kärilen i Herrans hus och Juda Konungs hus, och i Jerusalem, icke också till Babel förde varda.
But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be 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.
19 Ty så säger Herren Zebaoth om stodarna, och om hafvet, och om stolarna, och om de tyg, som ännu qvarblefna äro i denna staden,
For thus says 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.
20 De NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, icke borttog, då han bortförde Jechonia, Jojakims son, Juda Konung, ifrå Jerusalem till Babel, samt med alla Förstarna i Juda och Jerusalem;
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;
21 Ty så säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud, om de tyg som ännu qvarblefne äro i Herrans hus, och i Juda Konungs hus, och i Jerusalem:
Yes, thus says 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;
22 De skola till Babel förde varda, och der blifva intill den dagen, jag söker dem, säger Herren; och jag låter dem åter här uppkomma till detta rummet igen.
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, says the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
