Jeremias 33
1 Herrens ord kom anden gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, således:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time — and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison — saying:
2 Så siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
Thus said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah [is] His name:
3 Kald på mig, så vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
Call unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things — thou hast not known them.
4 Thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne Bys Huse og om Judas Kongers Huse, som nedbrødes for at bruges til Volde og Mur,
For thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;
5 da man gav sig til at stride imod Kaldæerne, og som fyldtes med Ligene af de Mennesker, jeg slog i min Vrede og Harme, og for hvem jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for al deres Ondskabs Skyld:
they are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
6 Se, jeg vil lade Byens Sår heles og læges, og jeg helbreder dem og oplader for dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.
7 Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first,
8 Jeg renser dem for al deres Brøde, med hvilken de syndede imod mig, og tilgiver alle deres Misgerninger, med hvilke de syndede og forbrød sig imod mig.
And cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed against Me.
9 Byen skal blive til Glæde, til Pris og Ære blandt alle Jordens Folk; og når de hører om alt det gode, jeg gør den, skal de frygte og bæve over alt det gode og al den Lykke, jeg lader den times.
And it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.
10 Så siger HERREN: På dette Sted, som I siger er ødelagt, uden Mennesker og Kvæg, i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader, der er lagt øde, uden Mennesker og kvæg,
Thus said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 skal atter høres Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Råb af Folk, som siger: "Tak Hærskarers HERRE; thi HERREN er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" og som bringer Takoffer til HERRENs Hus; thi jeg vender Landets Skæbne, så det bliver som tilforn, siger HERREN.
Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said Jehovah.
12 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: På dette ødelagte Sted, som er uden Mennesker og Kvæg, og i alle dets Byer skal der atter være Græsgange, hvor Hyrder lader deres Hjorde ligge;
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place — that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities — a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down.
13 i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer, i Benjamins land, i Jerusalems Omegn og i Judas Byer skal Småkvæget atter gå forbi under Tællerens Hånd, siger HERREN.
In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah.
14 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg opfylder den Forjættelse, jeg udtalte om Israels og Judas Hus.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah.
15 I hine Dage og til hin Tid lader jeg en Retfærds Spire fremspire for David, og han skal øve Ret og Retfærd i Landet.
In those days, and at that time, I cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
16 I hine Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo trygt, og man skal kalde det: HERREN vor Retfærdighed.
In those days is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: 'Our Righteousness.'
17 Thi så siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde på Israels Huss Trone.
For thus said Jehovah: 'Not cut off to David is one sitting on the throne of the house of Israel,
18 Og Levitpræsterne skal aldrig fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn og frembære Brændoffer, brænde Afgrødeoffer og ofre Slagtoffer.
And to the priests — the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice — all the days.'
19 Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Så siger HERREN Hvis min Pagt med Dagen og Natten brydes, så det ikke bliver Dag og Nat, når Tid er inde,
'Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,
21 da skal også min Pagt med min Tjener David brydes, så han ikke har nogen Søn til at sidde som Konge på sin Trone, og med Levitpræsterne, som tjener mig.
Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
22 Som Himmelens Hær ikke kan tælles og Havets Sand ikke måles, således vil jeg mangfoldiggøre min Tjener Davids Afkom og Leviterne, som tjener mig.
As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'
23 Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying:
24 Har du ikke lagt Mærke til, hvorledes dette Folk siger: "De to Slægter, HERREN udvalgte, har han forkastet!" Og de smæder mit Folk, fordi det i deres Øjne ikke 1ner er et Folk.
'Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise — So that they are no more a people before them!
25 Så siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed —
26 så vil jeg også forkaste Jakobs Afkom og min Tjener David og ikke af hans Afkom tage Herskere oer Abrabams, Isaks og Jakobs Afkom; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne og forbarmer mig over dem.
Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'
