Jeremias 26

¹ I Joasiasses søns, kong Jojakim af Judas, første regeringstid kom dette ord fra HERRN:

¹ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying,

³ Måske hører de og omvender sig, hver fra sin onde Vej, så jeg kan angre det onde, jeg har i Sinde at gøre dem for deres onde Gerningers Skyld.

³ Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.’

⁵ så I hører mine Tjenere Profeternes Ord, som jeg årle og silde sendte eder, skønt I ikke vilde høre,

⁵ to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you again and again, but you have not listened;

⁷ Præsterne, Profeterne og alt Folket hørte nu Jeremias tale disse Ord i HERRENs Hus;

⁷ The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

⁹ Hvor tør du profetere i HERRENs Navn og sige: Det skal gå dette Hus som Silo, og denne By skal ødelægges, så ingen bor der!" Og alt Folket stimlede sammen om Jeremias i HERRENs Hus.

⁹ Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” And all the people gathered about Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

¹¹ Så 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."

¹¹ Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the officials and to all the people, saying, “A death sentence for this man! For he has prophesied against this city as you have heard in your hearing.”

¹³ Bedrer dog eders Veje og eders Gerninger og hør på HERREN eders Guds Røst, at HERREN må angre det onde, han har talet imod eder.

¹³ Now therefore amend your ways and your deeds and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will change His mind about the misfortune which He has pronounced against you.

¹⁵ Dog skal I vide, at hvis I dræber mig, så 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."

¹⁵ Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city and on its inhabitants; for truly the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing.”

¹⁷ Og nogle af Landets Ældste trådte frem og sagde til hele Folkets Forsamling:

¹⁷ Then some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

¹⁹ Mon Kong Ezekias af Juda og hele Juda dræbte ham? Frygtede de ikke HERREN og bad ham om Nåde, så HERREN angrede det onde, han havde truet dem med? Vi er ved at bringe stor Ulykke over vore Sjæle."

¹⁹ Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, and the Lord changed His mind about the misfortune which He had pronounced against them? But we are committing a great evil against ourselves.”

²¹ 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.

²¹ When King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and all the officials heard his words, then the king sought to put him to death; but Uriah heard it, and he was afraid and fled and went to Egypt.

²³ 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 Småfolk havde deres Grave.

²³ And they brought Uriah from Egypt and led him to King Jehoiakim, who slew him with a sword and cast his dead body into the burial place of the common people.
