Jeremiah 39
1 (IN the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
Efter at Jerusalem var indtaget — i Kong Zedekias af Judas niende Regeringsaar i den tiende Maaned, kom Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel med hele sin Hær til Jerusalem og belejrede det;
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city: )
i Zedekias's ellevte Aar paa den niende Dag i den fjerde Maaned blev Byen stormet —
3 that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
da kom alle Babels Konges Fyrster og satte sig i Midterporten: Overhofmanden Nebusjazban, Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sar'ezer og alle Babels Konges andre Fyrster.
4 And it came to pass that when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the Arabah.
Da Kong Zedekias af Juda og alle hans Krigsmænd saa 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 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he gave judgment upon him.
Men Kaldæernes Hær satte efter dem og indhentede Zedekias paa 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 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
Babels Konge lod i Ribla Zedekias's Sønner dræbe i hans Paasyn; ogsaa alle de ypperste i Juda lod Babels Konge dræbe;
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
derpaa lod han Øjnene stikke ud paa Zedekias og lod ham lægge i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
Kaldæerne satte Ild paa Kongens Palads og Folkets Huse og nedbrød Jerusalems Mure.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also, that fell away to him, and the residue of the people that remained.
Resten af Folket, der var levnet i Byen, Overløberne, der var løbet over til ham, og Resten af Haandværkerne førte Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan som Fanger til Babel,
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
og kun nogle af den fattigste Befolkning, der intet ejede, lod Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan blive tilbage i Judas Land, idet han samtidig gav dem Vingaarde og Agre.
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Men om Jeremias bød Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan:
12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
»Tag ham og hav Øje med ham og gør ham ingen Men; gør med ham, som han selv ønsker!«
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
Saa sendte Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan, Overhofmanden Nebusjazban og Magernes Øverste Nergal-Sar'ezer og alle Babels Konges andre Stormænd
14 they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
Bud og lod Jeremias hente i Vagtforgaarden 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 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Medens Jeremias sad fængslet i Vagtforgaarden, kom HERRENS Ord til ham saaledes:
16 Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee in that day.
Gaa hen og sig til Ætioperen Ebed-Melek: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, jeg lader mine Ord gaa i Opfyldelse paa denne By til Ulykke og ikke til Lykke, og du skal have dem i Tankerne paa hin Dag.
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
Men paa hin Dag redder jeg dig, lyder det fra HERREN, og du skal ikke gives i de Mænds Haand, for hvem du frygter;
18 For I will surely save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
thi jeg vil frelse dig, saa du ikke falder for Sværdet, og du skal vinde dit Liv som Bytte, fordi du stolede paa mig, lyder det fra HERREN.
