Jeremias 30

1 Det ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 Skriv alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig, op i en Bog.

“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

3 Thi se Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg vender mit Folk Israels og Judas Skæbne, siger HERREN, og fører dem hjem til det Land, jeg gav deres Fædre, og de skal tage det i Eje.

For behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will convert the turning away of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord. And I will return them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”

4 Dette er de Ord, HERREN talede til Israel og Juda.

And these are the words which the Lord has spoken to Israel and to Judah:

5 Så siger HERREN: Vi hørte et Udbrud af Skræk, af Rædsel og Ufred;

For thus says the Lord: ‘We have heard a voice of terror. There is dread, and there is no peace.’

6 spørg og se dog til, om en Mand kan føde! Hvi ser jeg da alle Mænd med Hånd på Hofte som Kvinde i Barnsnød og alle Åsyn blegne?

Inquire and see, does a male give birth? Then why have I seen every man with his hand on his lower back, like a woman bearing a child? And why have all of their faces turned pale?

7 Thi stor er denne Dag, den er uden Lige, en Trængselstid for Jakob, men fra den skal han frelses.

Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.

8 På hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, vil jeg sønderbryde deres Åg og tage det af deres Hals og sprænge deres Bånd, og de skal ikke mere trælle for fremmede.

And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will crush his yoke from your neck, and I will break open his bands. And strangers will no longer rule over him.

9 De skal tjene HERREN deres Gud og David, deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.

Instead, they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

10 Frygt derfor ikke, min Tjener Jakob, lyder det fra HERREN, og vær ikke bange, Israel; thi se, jeg frelser dig fra det fjerne og dit Afkom fra deres Fangenskabs Land; og Jakob skal vende hjem og bo roligt og trygt, og ingen skal forfærde ham.

Therefore, O my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, says the Lord, and you should not be frightened, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from a far away land, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he shall flow with every good thing. And there will be no one for him to dread.

11 Thi jeg er med dig, lyder det fra HERREN, for at frelse dig; thi jeg vil tilintetgøre alle de Folk, blandt hvilke jeg har spredt dig, men dig vil jeg ikke tilintetgøre; jeg vil tugte dig med Måde, ikke lade dig helt ustraffet.

For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may save you. For I will bring about the consummation of all the nations, among which I have scattered you. But I will not bring about your consummation. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, so that you will not seem innocent to yourself.”

12 Thi så siger HERREN: Ulægeligt er dit Brud, dit Sår er svart.

For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.

13 Ingen fører din Sag. For din Byld er ingen Lægedom, for dig ingen Helse.

There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.

14 Alle dine Venner har glemt dig, søger dig ikke, thi med Fjendeslag slog jeg dig, med skånselløs Straf, fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange.

All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.

15 Hvi skriger du over dit Brud, er dit Sår ulægeligt? Fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange, gjorde jeg dette imod dig.

Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.

16 Derfor skal alle, som fortærer dig, fortæres, alle dine Fjender, alle skal de vandre i Fangenskab; de, der plyndrer dig, skal plyndres, til Ran gør jeg alle dine Ransmænd.

Because of this, all those who devour you, will be devoured. And all your enemies will be led into captivity. And those who devastate you, will be devastated. And all those who prey upon you, I will offer as a prey.

17 Thi jeg heler dig, læger dine Sår, så lyder det fra HERREN; du kaldtes jo, Zion, "den bortstødte, som ingen søger."

For I will close up your scar, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. For they have called you an outcast, O Zion: ‘This is she who has no one asking for her.’”

18 Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg vender Jakobs Skæbne, forbarmer mig over hans Boliger, Byen skal bygges på sin Høj, Paladset stå, bvor det stod.

Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.

19 Fra dem skal Lovsang lyde og legendes Råb; de bliver ej færre, jeg gør dem mange; de bliver ej ringe, jeg giver dem Hæder.

And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.

20 Hans Sønner skal blive som fordum, hans Menighed stå fast for mit Åsyn. Jeg hjemsøger alle, som trykker ham.

And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.

21 Hans Fyrste stammer fra ham selv, hans Hersker går frem af hans Midte. Jeg lader ham komme mig nær, han skal nærme sig mig; thi hvem ellers sætter Livet i Vov ved at nærme sig mig? lyder det fra HERREN.

And their ruler will be one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?

22 I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.

And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

23 Se, HERRENs Stormvejr, Vreden er brudt løs, et hvirvlende Stormvejr; det hvirvler hen over de gudløses Hoved.

Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a destroying storm! It will rest upon the head of the impious.

24 HERRENs glødende Vrede lægger sig ikke, før han har udført og fuldbyrdet sit Hjertes Tanker; i de sidste dage skal I forstå det.

The Lord will not turn back the wrath of his indignation, until he has accomplished and completed the plan of his heart. In the last days, you shall understand these things.
