3 Så siger HERREN: Øv Ret og Retfærd, fri den, som er plyndret, af Voldsmandens Hånd, undertryk ikke den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, øv ikke Vold og udgyd ikke uskyldigt Blod på dette Sted.
3 Thus says the Lord, “Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
4 Thi dersom I efterkommer dette Krav, skal konger, der sidder på Davids Trone, drage ind ad Portene til dette Hus med Vogne og Heste, de, deres Tjenere og Folk:
4 For if you men will indeed perform this thing, then kings will enter the gates of this house, sitting in David’s place on his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, even the king himself and his servants and his people.
6 Thi så siger HERREN om Judas konges Palads: Et Gilead var du for mig, en Libanons Tinde; visselig, jeg gør dig til Ørk, til folketomme Byer;
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah:“You are like Gilead to Me,Like the summit of Lebanon;Yet most assuredly I will make you like a wilderness,Like cities which are not inhabited.
11 Thi så siger HERREN om Josiass Søn, Kong Sjallum af Juda, der blev Konge i sin Fader Josiass Sted: Han, som gik bort fra dette Sted, skal ikke vende hjem igen:
11 For thus says the Lord in regard to Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in the place of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place, “He will never return there;
18 Derfor, så siger HERREN om Josiass Søn, kong Jojakim af Juda: Over ham skal ej klages: "Ve min Broder, ve min Søster!" eller grædes: "Ve min Herre, ve hans Herlighed!"
18 Therefore thus says the Lord in regard to Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah,“They will not lament for him:‘Alas, my brother!’ or, ‘Alas, sister!’They will not lament for him:‘Alas for the master!’ or, ‘Alas for his splendor!’
25 Jeg giver dig i deres Hånd, som står dig efter Livet, i deres Hånd, for hvem du ræddes, og i Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels og Kaldæernes Hånd.
25 and I will give you over into the hand of those who are seeking your life, yes, into the hand of those whom you dread, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
28 Er denne Konja da et usselt, sønderslået Kar, et Redskab, ingen bryder sig om? Hvorfor skal han og hans Afkom slynges og kastes til et Land, de ikke kender?
28 “Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered jar?Or is he an undesirable vessel?Why have he and his descendants been hurled outAnd cast into a land that they had not known?
30 Så siger HERREN: Optegn denne Mand som barnløs, som en Mand, der ingen Lykke har i sit Liv; thi det skal ikke lykkes nogen af hans Afkom at sætte sig på Davids Trone og atter herske over Juda.
30 “Thus says the Lord,‘Write this man down childless,A man who will not prosper in his days;For no man of his descendants will prosperSitting on the throne of DavidOr ruling again in Judah.’”
