Jeremias 7
1 Det Ord som kom til Jeremias fra Herren
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 Stå hen i Porten til HERRENs Hus og udråb dette Ord: Hør HERRENs Ord, hele Juda, I, som går ind gennem disse Porte for at tilbede HERREN!
“Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
3 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger, så vil jeg lade eder bo på dette Sted.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Stol ikke på den Løgnetale: Her er HERRENs Tempel, HERRENs Tempel, HERRENs Tempel!
Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
5 Men bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger! Dersom I virkelig øver Ret Mand og Mand imellem,
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
6 ikke undertrykker den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, ej heller udgyder uskyldigt Blod på dette Sted, ej heller til egen Skade holder eder til fremmede Guder,
You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
7 så vil jeg til evige Tider lade eder bo på dette Sted i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre.
Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
8 Se, I stoler på Løgnetale, som intet båder.
Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
9 Stjæle, slå ihjel, hore, sværge falsk, tænde Offerild for Ba'al, holde eder til fremmede Guder, som I ikke kender til
Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
10 og så kommer I og står for mit Åsyn i dette Hus, som mit Navn nævnes over, og siger: "Vi er frelst!" for at gøre alle disse Vederstyggeligheder.
And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
11 Holder I dette Hus, som mit Navn nævnes over, for en Røverkule? Men se, også jeg har Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN.
Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
12 Gå dog hen til mit hellige Sted i Silo, hvor jeg først stadfæstede mit Navn, og se, hvad jeg gjorde ved det for mit Folk Israels Ondskabs Skyld.
“But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
13 Og nu, fordi I øver alle disse Gerninger, lyder det fra HERREN, og fordi I ikke vilde høre, når jeg årle og silde talede til eder, eller svare, når jeg kaldte på eder,
And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
14 derfor vil jeg gøre med Huset, som mit Navn nævnes over, og som I stoler på, og med Stedet, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre, ligesom jeg gjorde med Silo;
I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
15 og jeg vil støde eder bort fra mit Åsyn, som jeg stødte alle eders Brødre bort, al Efraims Æt.
And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Men du må ikke gå i Forbøn for dette Folk eller frembære klage og Bøn eller trænge ind på mig for dem, thi jeg hører dig ikke.
And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
17 Ser du ikke, hvad de har for i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader?,
Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
18 Børnene sanker Brænde, Fædrene tænder Ild, og Kvinderne ælter Dejg for at bage Offerkager til Himmelens Dronning og udgyde Drikofre for fremmede Guder og og krænke mig.
The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
19 Mon det er mig, de krænker, lyder det fra HERREN, mon ikke sig selv til deres Ansigters Skam?
Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
20 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, min Vrede og Harme udgyder sig over dette Sted, over Folk og Fæ, over Markens Træer og Jordens Frugt, og den skal brænde uden at slukkes.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
21 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Læg eders Brændofre til eders Slagtofre og æd Kød!
Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
22 Thi dengang jeg førte eders Fædre ud af Ægypten, talede jeg ikke til dem eller bød dem noget om Brændoffer og Slagtoffer;
For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
23 men dette bød jeg dem: "I skal høre min Røst, så vil jeg være eders Gud, og I skal være mit Folk; og I skal gå på alle de Veje, jeg byder eder, at det må gå eder vel."
But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
24 Men de hørte ikke og lånte ikke Øre; de fulgte deres onde Hjertes Stivsind og gik tilbage, ikke fremad.
And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
25 Fra den Dag eders Fædre drog ud af Ægypten, og til i Dag har jeg Dag efter Dag, årle og silde sendt eder alle mine Tjenere Profeterne;
Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
26 men de hørte ikke og lånte ikke Øre; de gjorde Nakken stiv og øvede mere ondt end deres Fædre.
And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
27 Når du siger dem alle disse Ord, hører de dig ikke, og kalder du på dem, svarer de dig ikke.
And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
28 Sig så til dem: Det er det Folk, som ej hørte HERREN deres Guds Røst, det, som ej tog ved Lære; Sandhed er svundet, udryddet af deres Mund.
And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
29 Afklip dit Hår, kast det bort og klag på de nøgne Høje! Thi HERREN har forkastet og bortstødt den Slægt, han var vred på.
Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
30 Thi Judas Sønner har gjort, hvad der er ondt i mine Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN; de har opstillet deres væmmelige Guder i Huset, som mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;
For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
31 de har bygget Tofets Offerhøje i Hinnoms Søns Dal for at brænde deres Sønner og Døtre i Ilden, hvad jeg ikke har påbudt, og hvad aldrig var i min Tanke.
And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
32 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da man ikke mere skal sige Tofet og Hinnoms Søns Dal, men Morddalen, og man skal jorde de døde i Tofet, fordi Pladsen ikke slår til.
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
33 Og dette Folks Lig skal blive Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr til Æde, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.
And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
34 Og i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader gør jeg Ende på Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, thi Landet skal lægges øde.
And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
