Jeremiah 26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jeremiah’s Speech in the Temple
26 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord says: Stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all Judah’s cities that are coming to worship there. Do not hold back a word.(B) 3 Perhaps they will listen and return—each from his evil way of life—so that I might relent(C) concerning the disaster that I plan to do to them because of the evil of their deeds. 4 You are to say to them: This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to Me by living according to My instruction that I set before you(D) 5 and by listening to the words of My servants the prophets(E) I have been sending you time and time again,[a] though you did not listen, 6 I will make this temple like Shiloh.(F) I will make this city an object of cursing for all the nations of the earth.”
Jeremiah Seized
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the temple of the Lord. 8 He finished the address the Lord had commanded him to deliver to all the people. Then the priests, the prophets, and all the people took hold of him, yelling, “You must surely die! 9 How dare you prophesy in the name of Yahweh, ‘This temple will become like Shiloh and this city will become an uninhabited ruin’!” Then all the people assembled against Jeremiah at the Lord’s temple.
10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went from the king’s palace to the Lord’s temple and sat at the entrance of the New Gate.[b](G) 11 Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man deserves the death sentence because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.”(H)
Jeremiah’s Defense
12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and the people, “The Lord sent me to prophesy all the words that you have heard against this temple and city. 13 So now, correct your ways and deeds(I) and obey the voice of the Lord your God so that He might relent concerning the disaster that He warned about. 14 As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right. 15 But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood(J) on yourselves, on this city, and on its residents, for it is certain the Lord has sent me to speak all these things directly to you.”
Jeremiah Released
16 Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man doesn’t deserve the death sentence, for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh our God!”
17 Some of the elders of the land stood up(K) and said to all the assembled people, 18 “Micah the Moreshite(L) prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah(M) and said to all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord of Hosts says:
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become ruins,
and the temple mount a forested hill.’(N)
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the Lord’s favor,[c](O) and did not the Lord relent concerning the disaster He had pronounced against them?(P) We are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”
The Prophet Uriah
20 Another man was also prophesying in the name of Yahweh—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim.(Q) He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like all those of Jeremiah. 21 King Jehoiakim, all his warriors, and all the officials heard his words, and the king tried to put him to death. When Uriah heard, he fled in fear and went to Egypt. 22 But King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor(R) and certain other men with him went to Egypt. 23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who executed him with the sword and threw his corpse into the burial place of the common people.[d]
24 But Ahikam(S) son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

Ieremia profeţeşte în Templu
26 Acesta este Cuvântul care a venit din partea Domnului la începutul domniei lui Iehoiachim, regele lui Iuda: 2 „Stai în curtea Casei Domnului şi spune-le celor ce vin să se închine în Casa Domnului din toate cetăţile lui Iuda, toate cuvintele pe care ţi le poruncesc; să nu omiţi nici un cuvânt. 3 Poate că vor asculta şi se vor întoarce fiecare de la calea lor cea rea. Atunci mă voi căi de răul pe care plănuisem să li-l fac din pricina răutăţii faptelor lor. 4 Să le spui: «Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Dacă nu Mă ascultaţi când vă poruncesc să urmaţi Legea Mea pe care v-am pus-o înainte, 5 dacă nu ascultaţi cuvintele slujitorilor Mei, profeţii, pe care vi i-am trimis iarăşi şi iarăşi şi de care nu aţi ascultat până acum, 6 atunci voi face Casei acesteia ca lui Şilo şi voi face din cetatea aceasta o pricină de blestem pentru toate neamurile pământului.’»“
7 Preoţii, profeţii şi întregul popor l-au auzit pe Ieremia rostind aceste cuvinte în Casa Domnului. 8 De îndată ce Ieremia a terminat de spus tot ceea ce-i poruncise Domnul să spună, preoţii, profeţii şi întregul popor au pus mâna pe el şi i-au zis:
– Vei muri negreşit! 9 De ce profeţeşti în Numele Domnului şi zici: „Casa acesta va ajunge ca Şilo şi cetatea aceasta va fi pustiită şi lipsită de locuitori?“
Tot poporul s-a adunat în jurul lui Ieremia, în Casa Domnului. 10 Când conducătorii lui Iuda au auzit aceste lucruri, au venit de la palat la Casa Domnului şi s-au aşezat la intrarea Porţii celei Noi a Casei Domnului.
11 Apoi preoţii şi profeţii au spus conducătorilor şi întregului popor:
– Acest om trebuie pedepsit cu moartea pentru că a profeţit împotriva acestei cetăţi. Voi înşivă l-aţi auzit cu urechile voastre.
12 Ieremia le-a zis conducătorilor şi întregului popor:
– Domnul m-a trimis să profeţesc împotriva acestei Case şi împotriva acestei cetăţi toate cuvintele pe care le-aţi auzit. 13 Acum, îndreptaţi-vă căile şi faptele şi ascultaţi glasul Domnului, Dumnezeul vostru, iar Domnul se va căi de răul pe care l-a rostit împotriva voastră. 14 Cât despre mine, iată că sunt în mâinile voastre. Faceţi-mi ce vi se va părea a fi bine şi drept în ochii voştri. 15 Dar să ştiţi că dacă mă veţi omorî, vă veţi face vinovaţi de vărsare de sânge nevinovat, voi, cetatea aceasta şi locuitorii ei, căci, în adevăr, Domnul m-a trimis la voi să spun toate aceste cuvinte în auzul urechilor voastre.
16 Atunci conducătorii poporului şi întreg poporul le-au zis preoţilor şi profeţilor:
– Omul acesta nu trebuie pedepsit cu moartea, căci ne-a vorbit în Numele Domnului, Dumnezeul nostru.
17 Dar unii din sfatul bătrânilor ţării s-au ridicat şi au zis întregii adunări:
18 – Mica din Moreşet, profeţea în zilele lui Ezechia, regele lui Iuda, şi spunea întregului popor al lui Iuda: „Aşa vorbeşte Domnul Oştirilor:
«Sionul va fi arat ca un ogor,
Ierusalimul va deveni un morman de ruine,
iar muntele Casei va deveni o înălţime acoperită cu păduri.»“[a]
19 L-a omorât oare Ezechia, regele lui Iuda, sau cineva din Iuda? Nu s-a temut Ezechia de Domnul şi n-a căutat el faţa Domnului? Şi nu s-a căit Domnul atunci de răul pe care-l rostise împotriva lor? Iar noi să ne împovărăm sufletele cu un rău aşa de mare? 20 A mai fost însă un om care profeţea în Numele Domnului: Urie, fiul lui Şemaia, din Chiriat-Iearim. El a profeţit împotriva cetăţii acesteia şi împotriva ţării acesteia întocmai aceleaşi cuvinte ca Ieremia. 21 Regele Iehoiachim, toţi vitejii lui şi toţi conducătorii lui au auzit cuvintele lui şi regele a căutat să-l omoare. Dar Urie a fost înştiinţat de lucrul acesta, s-a temut şi a fugit în Egipt. 22 Regele Iehoiachim a trimis nişte oameni în Egipt: pe Elnatan, fiul lui Acbor, şi pe alţii împreună cu el. 23 Aceştia l-au scos pe Urie din Egipt şi l-au adus la regele Iehoiachim, care l-a ucis cu sabia şi i-a aruncat hoitul în mormântul fiilor poporului.
24 De asemenea şi Ahikam, fiul lui Şafan, l-a sprijinit pe Ieremia, nelăsând să fie dat pe mâna poporului ca să fie ucis.

Jeremiah 26
King James Version
26 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the Lord, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:
3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house.
11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jeremia 26
Svenska 1917
26 I begynnelsen av Jojakims, Josias sons, Juda konungs, regering kom detta ord från HERREN; han sade:
2 Så säger HERREN: Ställ dig i förgården till HERRENS hus och tala mot alla Juda städer, från vilka man kommer för att tillbedja i HERRENS hus, tala alla de ord som jag har bjudit dig tala till dem; tag intet därifrån.
3 Kanhända skola de då höra och vända om, var och en från sin onda väg; då vill jag ångra det onda som jag har i sinnet att göra med dem för deras onda väsendes skull.
4 Du skall säga till dem: Så säger HERREN: Om I icke viljen höra mig och vandra efter den lag som jag har förelagt eder,
5 och höra vad mina tjänare profeterna tala -- de som jag titt och ofta sänder till eder, fastän I icke viljen höra --
6 då skall jag göra med detta hus såsom jag gjorde med Silo, och skall låta denna stad för alla jordens folk bliva ett exempel som man nämner, när man förbannar.
7 Och prästerna och profeterna och allt folket hörde Jeremia tala dessa ord i HERRENS hus.
8 Och när Jeremia hade slutat att tala allt vad HERREN hade bjudit honom tala till allt folket, grepo honom prästerna och profeterna och allt folket och sade: »Du måste döden dö.
9 Huru djärves du profetera i HERRENS namn och säga: 'Det skall gå detta hus likasom det gick Silo, och denna stad skall ödeläggas, så att ingen mer bor däri'?» Och allt folket församlade sig mot Jeremia i HERRENS hus.
10 Då nu Juda furstar hörde detta, gingo de från konungshuset upp till HERRENS hus och satte sig vid ingången till HERRENS nya port.
11 Då sade prästerna och profeterna till furstarna och till allt folket sålunda: »Denne man förtjänar döden, ty han har profeterat mot denna stad, såsom I haven hört med egna öron.»
12 Men Jeremia svarade alla furstarna och allt folket och sade: »Det är HERREN som har sänt mig att profetera mot detta hus och denna stad allt det som I haven hört.
13 Så bättren nu edert leverne och edert väsende, och hören HERRENS, eder Guds, röst; då vill HERREN ångra det onda som han har talat mot eder.
14 Och vad mig angår, så är jag i eder hand; gören med mig vad eder gott och rätt synes.
15 Men det skolen I veta, att om I döden mig, så dragen I oskyldigt blod över eder och över denna stad och dess invånare; ty det är i sanning HERREN som har sänt mig till eder att tala allt detta inför eder.»
16 Då sade furstarna och allt folket till prästerna och profeterna: »Denne man förtjänar icke döden, ty i HERRENS, vår Guds, namn har han talat till oss.
17 Och några av de äldste i landet stodo upp och sade till folkets hela församling sålunda:
18 »Morastiten Mika profeterade i Hiskias, Juda konungs, tid och sade till hela Juda folk: 'Så säger HERREN Sebaot: Sion skall varda upplöjt till en åker, och Jerusalem skall bliva en stenhop och tempelberget en skogbevuxen höjd.'
19 Men lät väl Hiskia, Juda konung, med hela Juda, döda honom? Fruktade han icke i stället HERREN och bönföll inför honom, så att HERREN ångrade det onda som han hade beslutit över dem, medan tvärtom vi nu stå färdiga att draga över oss själva så mycket ont?»
20 Där var ock en annan man, Uria, Semajas son, från Kirjat-Hajearim, som profeterade i HERRENS namn; och han profeterade mot denna stad och detta land alldeles såsom Jeremia hade gjort.
21 När då konung Jojakim med alla sina hjältar och alla furstar hörde vad han sade, ville han döda honom. Men när Uria fick höra härom, blev han förskräckt och flydde och kom till Egypten.
22 Då sände konung Jojakim några män till Egypten, nämligen Elnatan, Akbors son, och några andra med honom, in i Egypten.
23 Och dessa hämtade Uria ut ur Egypten och förde honom till konung Jojakim; och denne lät dräpa honom med svärd, och lät så kasta hans döda kropp på den allmänna begravningsplatsen.
24 Men Ahikam, Safans son, höll sin hand över Jeremia, så att man icke lämnade honom i folkets hand till att dödas.
