Jeremiah 32
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Det Ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren i kong Zedekias af Judas tiende År, det er Nebukadrezars attende.
2 Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was round Jerusalem, shutting it in: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, in the house of the king of Judah.
Dengang belejrede Babels Konges Hær Jerusalem, og Profeten Jeremas sad fængslet i Vagtforgården i Judas Konges Palads,
3 For Zedekiah, king of Judah, had had him shut up, saying, Why have you, as a prophet, been saying, The Lord has said, See, I will give this town into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
hvor Kong Zedekias af Juda havde ladet ham fængsle med de Ord: "Hvor tør du profetere og sige: Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i Babels Konges Hånd, og han skal indtage den;
4 And Zedekiah, king of Judah, will not get away from the hands of the Chaldaeans, but will certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will have talk with him, mouth to mouth, and see him, eye to eye.
og Kong Zedekias af Juda skal ikke undslippe Kaldæernes Hånd, men overgives i Babels Konges Hånd, og han skal tale med ham Mund til Mund og se ham Øje i Øje;
5 And he will take Zedekiah away to Babylon, where he will be till I have pity on him, says the Lord: though you are fighting with the Chaldaeans, things will not go well for you?
og han skal føre Zedekias til Babel, og der skal han blive, til jeg ser til ham, lyder det fra HERREN; når I kæmper med Kaldæerne, får I ikke Lykke!"
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Og Jeremias sagde: HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
7 See, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your father's brother, will come to you and say, Give the price and get for yourself my property in Anathoth: for you have the right of the nearest relation.
Se, Hanamel, din Farbroder Sjallums Søn, kommer til dig og siger: "Køb min Mark i Anatot, thi du har Indløsningsret."
8 So Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me, as the Lord had said, to the place of the armed watchmen, and said to me, Give the price and get my property which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for you have the nearest relation's right to the heritage; so get it for yourself. Then it was clear to me that this was the word of the Lord.
Så kom Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, til mig i Vagtforgården, som HERREN havde sagt, og sagde til mig: "Køb min Mark i Anatot i Benjamins Land, thi du har Arveretten, og indløsningsretten er din; køb dig den!" Da forstod jeg, at det var HERRENs Ord.
9 So I got for a price the property in Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and gave him the money, seventeen shekels of silver;
Og jeg købte Marken i Anatot af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og tilvejede ham Pengene, sytten Sekel Sølv;
10 And I put it in writing, stamping it with my stamp, and I took witnesses and put the money into the scales.
og jeg skrev Skøde og forseglede det, tilkaldte Vidner og afvejede Pengene på Vægtskål.
11 So I took the paper witnessing the business, one copy rolled up and stamped, and one copy open:
Så tog jeg Skødet, både det forseglede og det åbne,
12 And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.
og overgav Skødet til Baruk, Masejas Søn Nerijas Søn, i Nærværelse af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og Vidnerne, som havde underskrevet Skødet, og alle de Judæee, som var til Stede i Vagtforgården;
13 And I gave orders to Baruch in front of them, saying,
og i deres Nærværelse bød jeg Baruk:
14 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take these papers, the witness of this business, the one which is rolled up and stamped, and the one which is open; and put them in a vessel of earth so that they may be kept for a long time.
"Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Tag disse Skøder, både det forseglede og det åbne, og læg dem i en Lerkrukke, for at de kan holde sig i lange Tider.
15 For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, There will again be trading in houses and fields and vine-gardens in this land.
Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: End skal der købes Huse, Marker og Vingårde i dette Land!"
16 Now after I had given the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I made my prayer to the Lord, saying,
Efter at have overgivet Skødet til Baruk, Nerijas Søn, bad jeg således til HERREN:
17 Ah Lord God! see, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm, and there is nothing you are not able to do:
Ak, Herre, HERRE, du har jo skabt Himmelen og Jorden ved din vældige Styrke og din udstrakte Arm, intet er dig for underfuldt,
18 You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name:
du, som øver Miskundhed mod Tusinder og gengælder Fædres Misgerning på deres Sønner efter dem; du store, vældige Gud, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE,
19 Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings:
rig på Råd og stor i Dåd, hvis Øjne er åbne over alle Menneskebørnenes Veje, for at du kan give enhver efter hans Vej og hans Gerningers Frugt;
20 You have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day, in Israel and among other men; and have made a name for yourself as at this day;
du, som gjorde Tegn og Undere i Ægypten og gør det den Dag i Dag både i Israel og blandt andre Mennesker og skabte dig det Navn, du har i Dag,
21 And have taken your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, causing great fear;
du, som førte dit Folk Israel ud af Ægypten med Tegn og Undere, med stærk Hånd og udstrakt Arm og stor Rædsel
22 And have given them this land, which you gave your word to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
og gav dem dette Land, som du havde svoret deres Fædre at ville give dem, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning;
23 And they came in and took it for their heritage, but they did not give ear to your voice, and were not ruled by your law; they have done nothing of all you gave them orders to do: so you have made all this evil come on them:
og de kom og tog det i Eje; men de hørte ikke din Røst og adlød ikke din Lov; de gjorde intet af, hvad du havde pålagt dem; så lod du al denne Ulykke ramme dem.
24 See, they have made earthworks against the town to take it; and the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword and need of food and disease: and what you have said has taken place, and truly you see it.
Se, Stormvoldene har nået Byen, så den er ved at blive indtaget, og med Sværd, Hunger og Pest er Byen givet i de angribende Kaldæeres Hånd; had du talede, er sket, og du ser det selv.
25 And you have said to me, Give the money to get yourself a property, and have the business witnessed; though the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.
Og skønt Byen er givet i Kaldæernes Hånd, siger du til mig, Herre, HERRE: "Køb dig Marken for Penge og tag Vidner derpå!"
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Da kom HERRENs Ord til Jeremias således:
27 See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything so hard that I am unable to do it?
Se, jeg er HERREN, alt Køds Gud; skulde noget være mig for underfuldt?
28 So this is what the Lord has said: See, I am giving this town into the hands of the Chaldaeans and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will take it:
Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i kaldæernes og Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels Hånd, og han skal idtage den;
29 And the Chaldaeans, who are fighting against this town, will come and put the town on fire, burning it together with the houses, on the roofs of which perfumes have been burned to the Baal, and drink offerings have been drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.
og Kaldæerne, der angriber denne By, skal komme og sætte Ild på den og afbrænde Husene, på hvis Tage man tændte Offerild for Baal og udgød Drikofre for andre Guder for at krænke mig.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my eyes from their earliest years: the children of Israel have only made me angry with the work of their hands, says the Lord.
Thi fra deres Ungdom af har Israeliterne og Judæerne kun gjort, hvad der var ondt i mine Øjne; thi Israeliterne gør ikke andet end krænke mig ved deres Hænders Værk, lyder det fra HERREN.
31 For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:
Ja, en Kilde til Vrede og Harme har denne By været mig, lige fra den Dag de byggede den og til i Dag, så at jeg må fjerne den fra mit Åsyn
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to make me angry, they and their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.
for alt det ondes Skyld, som Israeliterne og Judæerne gjorde for at krænke mig, de deres Konger, Fyrster, Præster og Profefer, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere.
33 And they have been turning their backs and not their faces to me: and though I was their teacher, getting up early and teaching them, their ears were not open to teaching.
De vendte Ryggen og ikke Ansigtet til mig, og skønt jeg advarede dem årle og silde, vilde de ikke høre eller tage ved Lære.
34 But they put their disgusting images into the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.
De opstillede deres væmmelige Guder i det Hus, mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;
35 And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.
og de byggede Baals Offerhøje i Hinnoms Søns Dal for at ofre deres Sønner og Døtre til Molok, hvad jeg ikke havde budt dem, og hvad aldrig var i min Tanke, at man skulde gøre så vederstyggelig en Ting for derved at lokke Juda til Synd.
36 And now the Lord, the God of Israel, has said of this town, about which you say, It is given into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword and by need of food and by disease:
Men nu, så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne By, som I siger er givet i Babels Konges Hånd med Sværd, Hunger og Pest:
37 See, I will get them together from all the countries where I have sent them in my wrath and in the heat of my passion and in my bitter feeling; and I will let them come back into this place where they may take their rest safely.
Se, jeg vil samle dem fra alle de Lande, som jeg har bortstødt dem til i min Vrede og Harme og i stor Fortørnelse, og føre dem hjem til dette Sted og lade dem bo trygt.
38 And they will be my people, and I will be their God:
De skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud;
39 And I will give them one heart and one way, so that they may go on in the worship of me for ever, for their good and the good of their children after them:
og jeg vil give dem eet Hjerte og een Vej, så de frygter mig alle Dage, at det må gå dem og deres Sønner efter dem vel.
40 And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.
Jeg slutter en evig Pagt med dem, at jeg ikke vil drage mig tilbage fra dem, men gøre vel itnod dem; og min Frygt lægger jeg i deres Hjerter, så de ikke viger fra mig.
41 And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.
Jeg vil glæde mig over dem og gøre vel imod dem; og jeg planter dem i dette Land i Trofasthed af hele mit Hjerte og hele min Sjæl.
42 For the Lord has said: As I have made all this great evil come on this people, so I will send on them all the good which I said about them.
Thi så siger HERREN: Som jeg bragte al denne store Ulykke over dette Folk, således vil jeg bringe over dem alt det gode, jeg taler til dem om.
43 And there will be trading in fields in this land of which you say, It is a waste, without man or beast; it is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.
End skal der købes Marker i det Land, som I siger er en Ørken uden Mennesker og Kvæg og givet i Kaldæernes Hånd;
44 Men will get fields for money, and put the business in writing, stamping the papers and having them witnessed, in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill-country and in the towns of the lowland and in the towns of the South: for I will let their fate be changed, says the Lord.
man skal købe Marker for Penge og skrive Skøder og forsegle dem og tilkalde Vidner i Benjamins Land, i Jerusalems Omegn, i Judas Byer, i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.
