Jeremias 25
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias om alt Judases folk i Joasias Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde År, det er Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels første År,
The word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah. The same is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
2 og som Profeten Jeremias talte til alt Judas Folk og alle Jerusalems Borgere:
And the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 Fra Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, trettende År til den Dag i Dag, i fulde tre og tyve År er HERRENs Ord kommet til mig, og jeg, talte til eder årle og silde, men I hørte ikke;
“From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even until this day, which is the twenty-third year, the word of the Lord has been given to me, and I have spoken to you, rising while it was still night, and speaking, and yet you have not listened.
4 og HERREN sendte årle og silde alle sine Tjenere Profeterne til eder, men I hørte ikke; I bøjede ikke eders Øre til at høre,
And the Lord has sent to you all his servants, the prophets, rising at first light, and sending, and yet you have not listened, and you have not inclined your ears, so that you would hear,
5 når han sagde: "Omvend eder, hver fra sin onde Vej og sine onde Gerninger, at I fra Evighed til Evighed må bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre;
when he said: Return, each one from his evil way, and from your wicked thoughts. And you shall dwell in the land, which the Lord has given to you and to your fathers, from ancient times and even forever.
6 og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, så I dyrker og tilbeder dem, og krænk mig ikke med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke."
And do not choose to go after strange gods, so that you would serve them and adore them. And do not provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands. And then I will not afflict you.
7 Nej, I hørte mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN, og så krænkede I mig med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.
And yet you have not listened to me, says the Lord, and so you have provoked me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own harm.”
8 Derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Fordi I ikke vilde høre mine Ord,
Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Since you have not listened to my words,
9 vil jeg sende Bud efter alle Nordens Stammer, lyder det fra HERREN, og til kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, min Tjener, og lade dem komme over dette Land og dets Indbyggere og over alle Folkene heromkring, og jeg vil ødelægge dem og gøre dem til Rædsel, Latter og Spot for evigt.
behold, I will send for and take all the associates of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will lead them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all the nations that are around it. And I will destroy them, and I will set them in the midst of stupor and hissing, and continual desolations.
10 Jeg fjerner fra dem Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Kværnens Lyd og Lampens Skin,
And I will perish from them the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstone and the light of the lamp.
11 og hele dette Land skal blive til Ørk og Øde, og disse Folkeslag skal trælle for Babels konge i halvfjerdsindstyve År.
And this entire land will be in desolation and in stupor. And all these nations will serve the king of Babylon, for seventy years.
12 Men når der er gået halvfjerdsindstyve År, hjemsøger jeg Babels Konge og Folket der for deres Misgerning, lyder det fra HERREN, også Kaldæernes Land hjemsøger jeg og gør det til evige Ørkener,
And when the seventy years have been completed, I will visit their iniquity upon the king of Babylon, and upon that nation, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, says the Lord. And I will set it in continual desolations.
13 og jeg opfylder på dette Land alle mine Ord, som jeg har talet imod det, alt, hvad der er skrevet i denne Bog, alt, hvad Jeremias har profeteret mod alle Folkene.
And I will lead over that land all my words, which I have spoken against it, all that has been written in this book, everything whatsoever that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Thi også dem skal mange Folk og vældige Konger gøre til Trælle, og jeg gengælder dem deres Gerning og deres Hænders Værk.
For they have served them, though these were populous nations and great kings. And I will repay them according to their works and according to the deeds of their hands.”
15 Thi således sagde HERREN, Israels Gud, til mig: "Tag dette Bæger med min Vredes Vin af min Hånd og giv alle de Folk, jeg sender dig til, at drikke deraf;
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take the chalice of the wine of this fury from my hand. And you shall cause all the nations, to which I will send you, to drink from it.
16 de skal drikke og rave og rase for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt dem!"
And they will drink, and be stirred up, and become maddened, before the face of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Og jeg tog Bægeret af HERRENs Hånd og gav alle de Folk, han sendte mig til, at drikke deraf:
And I received the chalice from the hand of the Lord, and I caused all the nations, to which the Lord has sent me, to drink from it:
18 Jerusalem og Judas Byer og dets Konger og Fyrster, for at gøre dem til Ørk og Øde, til Spot og til et Forbandelsens Tegn, som det er på denne Dag;
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its leaders, so that I gave them over to desolation, and stupor, and hissing, and a curse, just as it is this day.
19 Farao, Ægypterkongen, med alle hans Tjenere og Fyrster og alt hans Folk,
“But as for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his leaders, and all his people,
20 alt Blandingsfolket og alle konger i Uz og Filisterland, Askalon, Gaza og Ekron og Asdods Rest;
and the entire populace in general: all the kings of the land of the south, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21 Edom, Moab og Ammoniterne;
and Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
22 alle Tyruss og Zidons Konger og den fjerne strands Konger hinsides Havet;
and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the land of the islands that are across the sea,
23 Dedan, Tema og Buz og alle dem med rundklippet Hår;
and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all those who have shaved off their hair,
24 alle Arabernes konger og alle Blandingsfolkets Konger, som hor i Ørkenen;
and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, who live in the desert,
25 alle Zimris Konger, alle Elams Konger og alle Mediens Konger;
and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media,
26 alle Nordens Konger, nær og fjern, den ene efter den anden. alle Riger på Jordens Overflade; og Kongen af Sjesjak skal drikke efter dem.
and likewise, all the kings of the north from near to far, each one facing his brother, and all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sesac: all these shall drink after them.
27 Og du skal sige til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Drik, bliv drukne og spy, fald og rejs eder ikke mere for Sværdet jeg sender iblandt eder!
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be inebriated, and vomit, and fall down. And you shall not rise up before the face of the sword that I will send among you.
28 Og hvis de vægrer sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Hånd og drikke, skal du sige til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Drikke skal I!
And if they refuse to receive the cup from your hand and to drink, you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Certainly, you shall drink!
29 Thi se, med den By, mit Navn er nævnet over, begynder jeg at handle ilde, og så skulde I gå fri! Nej, I går ikke fri; thi jeg kalder Sværdet hid mod alle dem, som bor på Jorden, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
For behold, I am beginning to afflict the city in which my name has been invoked, and will you be innocent and immune? You will not be immune! For I will call the sword over all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts.
30 Og du skal profetere alle disse Ord for dem og sige: HERREN brøler fra det høje, løfter sin Røst fra sin hellige Bolig; han brøler over sin Græsgang, istemmer Vinperserråbet over alle, som bor på Jorden.
And you shall prophesy to them all these words, and you shall say to them: The Lord will roar from on high, and he will utter his voice from his holy habitation. When roaring, he will roar over the place of his beauty. He will call out, like those who chant in rhythm as they trample the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Drønet når til Jordens Ende, thi HERREN går i Rette med Folkene; over alt Kød holder han Dom, de gudløse giver han til Sværdet, lyder det fra HERREN.
The sound of it will penetrate even to the ends of the earth. For the Lord is entering into judgment with the nations. He himself is entering into judgment with all flesh. I have delivered the impious to the sword, says the Lord.”
32 Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, Ulykken går fra det ene Folk til det andet, et vældigt Vejr bryder løs fra Jordens Rand.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, an affliction will go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind will go forth from the ends of the earth.
33 HERRENs slagne skal på den Dag ligge fra Jordens ene Ende til den anden; der skal ikke holdes Klage over dem, og de skal ikke sankes og jordes; de skal blive til Gødning på Marken.
And the slain of the Lord will be, on that day, from one end of the earth, even to the other end. They will not be mourned, and they will not be gathered, and they will not be buried. They will lie upon the face of the earth like dung.
34 Jamrer, I Hyrder, og skrig, I Hjordens ypperste, vælt jer i Støvet! Thi Tiden, I skal slagtes, er kommet, som en kostelig Skål skal I splintres.
Wail, O shepherds, and cry out! And sprinkle yourselves with ashes, O nobles of the flock! For the days have been completed that lead to your slaughter and your destruction. And you will fall like precious vessels.
35 Hyrderne finder ej Tilflugt, ej Hjordens ypperste Redning.
And escape will flee from the shepherds, and safety will flee from the nobility of the flock.”
36 Hør, hvor Hyrderne skriger, hvor Hjordens ypperste jamrer! Thi HERREN hærger deres Græsgange,
There is a voice of outcry from the shepherds, and a wailing among the nobles among the flock! For the Lord has laid waste to their pastures.
37 og Fredens Vange lægges øde for HERRENs glødende Vrede;
And the fields of peace have been silenced before the face of the fury of the Lord.
38 Løven går bort fra sin Tykning, thi deres Land er lagt øde for det hærgende Sværd, for HERRENs glødende Vrede.
He has abandoned those he sheltered like a lion. For the earth has become a desolation before the face of the anger of the dove, and before the face of the fury of the Lord.
