Jeremiah 49
1 About the children of Ammon. These are the words of the Lord: Has Israel no sons? has he no one to take the heritage? why then has Milcom taken Gad for himself, putting his people in its towns?
Om Ammoniterne. Saa siger HERREN: Har Israel ingen Sønner, eller har det ingen Arving? Hvorfor har Milkom taget Gad i Eje og hans Folk bosat sig i dets Byer?
2 Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, says the Lord.
Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg lader Krigsskrig lyde mod Rabba i Ammon, og det skal blive en Grusdynge, og dets Døtre skal gaa op i Luer. Da arver Israel sine Arvinger, siger HERREN.
3 Make sounds of grief, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted; give loud cries, O daughters of Rabbah, and put haircloth round you: give yourselves to weeping, running here and there and wounding yourselves; for Milcom will be taken prisoner together with his rulers and his priests.
Klag, Hesjbon, thi Aj er ødelagt; skrig, I Rabbas Døtre, klæd jer i Sæk og klag, gaa rundt i Foldene! Thi Milkom vandrer i Landflygtighed, hans Præster og Fyrster til Hobe.
4 Why are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys, your flowing valley, O daughter ever turning away? who puts her faith in her wealth, saying, Who will come against me?
Hvorfor gør du dig til af dine Dale, du frafaldne Datter, som stoler paa dine Skatte og siger: »Hvem kan komme til mig?«
5 See, I will send fear on you, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, from those who are round you on every side; you will be forced out, every man straight before him, and there will be no one to get together the wanderers.
Se, jeg lader Rædsel komme over dig fra alle Kanter, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. I skal drives bort i hver sin Retning, og ingen samler de flygtende.
6 But after these things, I will let the fate of the children of Ammon be changed, says the Lord.
Men siden vender jeg Ammoniternes Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.
7 About Edom. This is what the Lord of armies has said. Is there no more wisdom in Teman? have wise suggestions come to an end among men of good sense? has their wisdom completely gone?
Om Edom. Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Er der ikke mer Visdom i Teman, svigter de kloges Raad, er deres Visdom raadden?
8 Go in flight, go back, take cover in deep places, you who are living in Dedan; for I will send the fate of Edom on him, even the time of his punishment.
Fly, søg Ly i det dybe, I, som bor i Dedan! Thi Esaus Ulykke sender jeg over ham, Straffens Tid.
9 If men came to get your grapes, would they not let some be uncut on the vines? if thieves came by night, would they not make waste till they had enough?
Gæstes du af Vinhøstmænd, levner de ej Efterslæt, af Tyve om Natten, ødelægger de, hvad de lyster.
10 I have had Esau searched out, uncovering his secret places, so that he may not keep himself covered: his seed is wasted and has come to an end, and there is no help from his neighbours.
Thi selv blotter jeg Esau, hans Skjulesteder røber jeg; at gemme sig evner han ikke. Han er ødelagt ved Brødres og Naboers Arm, han er borte.
11 Put in my care your children who have no father, and I will keep them safe; and let your widows put their faith in me.
Lad mig om dine faderløse, jeg holder dem i Live, dine Enker kan stole paa mig.
12 For the Lord has said, Those for whom the cup was not made ready will certainly be forced to take of it; and are you to go without punishment? you will not be without punishment, but will certainly be forced to take from the cup.
Thi saa siger HERREN: Se, de, hvem det ikke tilkom at tømme Bægeret, maa tømme det, og du skulde gaa fri? Du gaar ikke fri, men kommer til at tømme det.
13 For I have taken an oath by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become a cause of wonder, a name of shame, a waste and a curse; and all its towns will be waste places for ever.
Thi jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: til Rædsel og Spot, til Ørk og til et Forbandelsens Tegn skal Bozra blive, og alle dets Byer skal blive til evige Tomter.
14 Word has come to me from the Lord, and a representative has been sent to the nations, to say, Come together and go up against her, and take your places for the fight.
Fra HERREN har jeg hørt en Tidende: Et Bud skal sendes ud blandt Folkene: Samler eder! Drag ud imod det og rejs jer til Strid!
15 For see, I have made you small among the nations, looked down on by men.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig iblandt Folkene, foragtet blandt Mennesker.
16 ... the pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.
Rædsel over dig! Dit Hjertes Overmod bedrog dig. Du, som bor i Klippekløft og klynger dig til Fjeldtop: Bygger du Rede højt som Ørnen, jeg styrter dig ned, saa lyder det fra HERREN.
17 And Edom will become a cause of wonder: everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.
Edom skal blive til Rædsel; alle, der kommer forbi, skal slaas af Rædsel og spotte over alle dets Saar.
18 As at the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, says the Lord, no man will be living in it, no son of man will have a resting-place there.
Som det gik, da Sodoma og Gomorra og Nabobyerne omstyrtedes, siger HERREN, skal intet Menneske bo der, intet Menneskebarn dvæle der.
19 See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make him go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will be able to keep his place before me?
Som en Løve, der fra Jordans Stolthed skrider op til den stedsegrønne Græsgang, saaledes vil jeg i et Nu drive dem bort derfra. Thi hvem er den udvalgte, jeg vil sætte over dem? Thi hvem er min Lige, og hvem kræver mig til Regnskab? Hvem er den Hyrde, der staar sig mod mig?
20 For this cause give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Edom, and to his purposes designed against the people of Teman: Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.
Hør derfor det Raad, HERREN har for mod Edom, og de Tanker, han har mod Temans Indbyggere: Visselig skal Hjordens ringeste slæbes bort, visselig skal deres Græsgang forfærdes over dem.
21 The earth is shaking with the noise of their fall; their cry is sounding in the Red Sea.
Ved Braget af deres Fald skal Jorden skælve; Skriget kan høres til det røde Hav.
22 See, he will come up like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Bozrah: and the hearts of Edom's men of war on that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
Se, som en Ørn med udbredte Vinger svæver han over Bozra; og Edoms Heltes Hjerte bliver paa hin Dag som en nødstedt Kvindes Hjerte.
23 About Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for the word of evil has come to their ears, their heart in its fear is turned to water, it will not be quiet.
Om Damaskus. Til Skamme er Hamat og Arpad, thi de hører ond Tidende; de er ude af sig selv, i Uro som Havet, der ikke kan falde til Ro.
24 Damascus has become feeble, she is turned to flight, fear has taken her in its grip: pain and sorrows have come on her, as on a woman in birth-pains.
Damaskus er modfaldent, vender sig til Flugt, Angst falder over det, Vaande og Veer griber det som en fødende Kvinde.
25 How has the town of praise been wasted, the place of joy!
Ve det! Forladt er den lovpriste By, Glædens Stad.
26 So her young men will be falling in her streets, and all the men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord of armies.
Derfor falder dets Ynglinge paa dets Torve, alle Krigsfolkene omkommer paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
27 And I will have a fire lighted on the wall of Damascus, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
Jeg sætter Ild paa Damaskus's Mur, og den skal fortære Benhadads Borge.
28 About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame. This is what the Lord has said: Up! go against Kedar, and make an attack on the children of the east.
Om Kedar og Hazors Riger, som Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel slog. Saa siger HERREN: Kom og drag op mod Kedar, ødelæg Østens Sønner!
29 Their tents and their flocks they will take; they will take away for themselves their curtains and all their vessels and their camels: they will give a cry to them, Fear on every side.
Man skal tage deres Telte og Hjorde, deres Telttæpper, alle deres Kar, bortføre Kamelerne fra dem og raabe til dem: »Trindt om er Rædsel!«
30 Go in flight, go wandering far off, take cover in deep places, O people of Hazor, says the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a design against you, he has a purpose against you in mind.
Fly i Hast, søg Ly i det dybe, Hazors Borgere, lyder det fra HERREN. Thi Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel har oplagt et Raad imod eder og undfanget en Tanke imod eder.
31 Up! go against a nation which is living in comfort and without fear of danger, says the Lord, without doors or locks, living by themselves.
Kom, drag op mod et roligt Folk, der bor i Tryghed, lyder det fra HERREN, uden Porte og Slaaer; de bor for sig selv.
32 And their camels will be taken from them by force, and their great herds will come into the hands of their attackers: those who have the ends of their hair cut I will send in flight to all the winds; and I will send their fate on them from every side, says the Lord.
Deres Kameler gøres til Bytte, deres mange Hjorde til Rov. Jeg spreder dem, der har rundklippet Haar, for alle Vinde, og fra alle Kanter bringer jeg Undergang over dem, lyder det fra HERREN.
33 And Hazor will be a hole for jackals, a waste for ever: no one will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.
Hazor bliver Sjakalers Bo, en Ørken til evig Tid; der skal ej bo et Menneske, ej dvæle et Menneskebarn.
34 The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, saying,
HERRENS Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias om Elam i Kong Zedekias af Judas første Regeringstid:
35 This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will have the bow of Elam, their chief strength, broken.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg knækker Elams Bue, det ypperste af deres Kraft;
36 And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.
og jeg bringer over Elam de fire Vinde fra de fire Verdenshjørner og spreder dem for alle disse Vinde; der skal ikke være et Folk, som de bortdrevne Elamiter ikke kommer hen til.
37 And I will let Elam be broken before their haters, and before those who are making designs against their lives: I will send evil on them, even my burning wrath, says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them till I have put an end to them:
Jeg knuser dem foran deres Fjender og dem, der staar dem efter Livet, og jeg sender Ulykke over dem, min glødende Vrede, lyder det fra HERREN. Jeg sender Sværdet efter dem, til jeg faar dem udslettet.
38 I will put the seat of my power in Elam, and in Elam I will put an end to kings and rulers, says the Lord.
Jeg rejser min Trone i Elam og tilintetgør der baade Konge og Fyrster, lyder det fra HERREN.
39 But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.
Men i de sidste Dage vender jeg Elams Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.
