Jeremias 19
1 Således sagde HERREN: Gå hen og køb dig et krus hos pottemageren, tag nogle af Folkets og Præsternes Ældste med
Thus saith Jehovah: Go and buy a potter's earthen flagon, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
2 og gå ud i Hinnoms Søns Dal ved Indgangen til Potteskårporten og udråb der de Ord, jeg taler til dig!
and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the pottery-gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3 Du skal sige: Hør HERRENs Ord, Judas Konger og Jerusalems Borgere: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, jeg sender over dette Sted en Ulykke, så det skal ringe for Ørene på enhver, der hører derom,
and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle;
4 fordi de forlod mig og gjorde dette Sted fremmed og tændte Offerild der for andre Guder, som hverken de eller deres Fædre før kendte til, og Judas Konger fyldte dette Sted med skyldfries Blod,
because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place [from me], and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 og de byggede Baalshøjene for at brænde deres Børn i Ild som Brændofre til Baal, hvad jeg ikke havde påbudt eller talt om, og hvad aldrig var opkommet i min Tanke.
and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire as burnt-offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it up into my mind:
6 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da dette Sted ikke mere skal hedde Tofet og Hinnoms Søns Dal, men Morddalen.
therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.
7 Jeg gør Juda og Jerusalem rådvilde på dette Sted og lader dem falde for Sværdet for deres Fjenders Øjne og for deres Hånd, som står dem efter Livet, og jeg giver Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr deres Lig til Føde.
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life, and their carcases will I give as food to the fowl of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth.
8 Jeg gør denne By til Gru og Spot; alle, der komnmer forbi, skal grue og spotte over alle dens Sår.
And I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 Jeg lader dem æde deres Sønners og Døtres Kød, den ene skal æde den andens Kød under Belejringen og den Trængsel, deres Fjender og de, der står dem efter Livet, volder dem.
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10 Knus så Kruset i de Mænds Påsyn, der følger med dig,
And thou shalt break the flagon in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 og sig til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg vil knuse dette Folk og denne By, som man knuser et Lerkar, så det ikke kan heles igen. De døde skal jordes i Tofet, fordi Pladsen til at jorde på ikke slår til.
and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.
12 Således vil jeg gøre med dette Sted og dets indbyggere, lyder det fra HERREN, idet jeg gør denne By til et Tofet:
Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and make this city as Topheth.
13 Jerusalems og Judas Kongers Huse skal blive urene som Tofets Sted, alle de Huse, på hvis Tage de tændte Offerild for al Himmelens Hær og udgød Drikofre for andre Guder.
And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be as the place of Topheth, defiled, all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods.
14 Derpå gik Jerenmias fra Tofet, hvorhen HERREN havde sendt ham for at profetere, og stod frenm i Forgården til HERRENs Hus og sagde til alt Folket:
And Jeremiah came from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,
15 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, over denne By og alle Byerne, der hører til den, sender jeg al den Ulykke, jeg har truet den med, fordi de gjorde Nakken stiv og ikke hørte mine Ord.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her cities all the evil that I have spoken against it; for they have hardened their necks, not to hear my words.
