Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord in the tenth year of Sedecias king of Juda: the same is eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor.
Det Ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren i kong Zedekias af Judas tiende År, det er Nebukadrezars attende.
2 At that time the army of the king o Babylon besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremias the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Juda.
Dengang belejrede Babels Konges Hær Jerusalem, og Profeten Jeremas sad fængslet i Vagtforgården i Judas Konges Palads,
3 For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it?
hvor Kong Zedekias af Juda havde ladet ham fængsle med de Ord: "Hvor tør du profetere og sige: Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i Babels Konges Hånd, og han skal indtage den;
4 And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes.
og Kong Zedekias af Juda skal ikke undslippe Kaldæernes Hånd, men overgives i Babels Konges Hånd, og han skal tale med ham Mund til Mund og se ham Øje i Øje;
5 And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success.
og han skal føre Zedekias til Babel, og der skal han blive, til jeg ser til ham, lyder det fra HERREN; når I kæmper med Kaldæerne, får I ikke Lykke!"
6 And Jeremias said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Og Jeremias sagde: HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Sellum thy cousin shall come to thee, saying: Buy thee my field, which is in Anathoth, for it is thy right to buy it, being akin.
Se, Hanamel, din Farbroder Sjallums Søn, kommer til dig og siger: "Køb min Mark i Anatot, thi du har Indløsningsret."
8 And Hanameel my uncle’s son cam to me, according to the word of the to the entry of the prison, and said me: Buy my held, which is in in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thins, and thou art next of kin to possess it. And I understood this was the word of the Lord.
Så kom Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, til mig i Vagtforgården, som HERREN havde sagt, og sagde til mig: "Køb min Mark i Anatot i Benjamins Land, thi du har Arveretten, og indløsningsretten er din; køb dig den!" Da forstod jeg, at det var HERRENs Ord.
9 And I bought the held of my uncle’s son, that is in Anathoth: and I weighed him the money, seven staters, and ten pieces of silver.
Og jeg købte Marken i Anatot af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og tilvejede ham Pengene, sytten Sekel Sølv;
10 And I wrote it in a book and sealed it, and took witnesses: and I weighed him the money in the balances.
og jeg skrev Skøde og forseglede det, tilkaldte Vidner og afvejede Pengene på Vægtskål.
11 And I took the deed of the purchase that was sealed, and the stipulations, and the ratifications with the seals that were on the outside.
Så tog jeg Skødet, både det forseglede og det åbne,
12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neri the son of Maasias in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, and before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
og overgav Skødet til Baruk, Masejas Søn Nerijas Søn, i Nærværelse af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og Vidnerne, som havde underskrevet Skødet, og alle de Judæee, som var til Stede i Vagtforgården;
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying:
og i deres Nærværelse bød jeg Baruk:
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these writings, this deed of the purchase that is sealed up, and this deed that is open: and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
"Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Tag disse Skøder, både det forseglede og det åbne, og læg dem i en Lerkrukke, for at de kan holde sig i lange Tider.
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Houses, and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: End skal der købes Huse, Marker og Vingårde i dette Land!"
16 And after I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
Efter at have overgivet Skødet til Baruk, Nerijas Søn, bad jeg således til HERREN:
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, behold thou hast made heaven and earth by thy great power, and thy stretched out arm: no word shall be hard to thee:
Ak, Herre, HERRE, du har jo skabt Himmelen og Jorden ved din vældige Styrke og din udstrakte Arm, intet er dig for underfuldt,
18 Thou shewest mercy unto thousands, and returnest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O most mighty, great, and powerful, the Lord of hosts is thy name.
du, som øver Miskundhed mod Tusinder og gengælder Fædres Misgerning på deres Sønner efter dem; du store, vældige Gud, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE,
19 Great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of Adam, to render unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his devices.
rig på Råd og stor i Dåd, hvis Øjne er åbne over alle Menneskebørnenes Veje, for at du kan give enhver efter hans Vej og hans Gerningers Frugt;
20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even until this day, and in Israel, and amongst men, and hast made thee a name as at this day.
du, som gjorde Tegn og Undere i Ægypten og gør det den Dag i Dag både i Israel og blandt andre Mennesker og skabte dig det Navn, du har i Dag,
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel, out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, and with great terror.
du, som førte dit Folk Israel ud af Ægypten med Tegn og Undere, med stærk Hånd og udstrakt Arm og stor Rædsel
22 And best given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.
og gav dem dette Land, som du havde svoret deres Fædre at ville give dem, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning;
23 And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them.
og de kom og tog det i Eje; men de hørte ikke din Røst og adlød ikke din Lov; de gjorde intet af, hvad du havde pålagt dem; så lod du al denne Ulykke ramme dem.
24 Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest.
Se, Stormvoldene har nået Byen, så den er ved at blive indtaget, og med Sværd, Hunger og Pest er Byen givet i de angribende Kaldæeres Hånd; had du talede, er sket, og du ser det selv.
25 And sayest thou to me, O Lord God: Buy a field for money, and take witnesses, whereas the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans?
Og skønt Byen er givet i Kaldæernes Hånd, siger du til mig, Herre, HERRE: "Køb dig Marken for Penge og tag Vidner derpå!"
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Da kom HERRENs Ord til Jeremias således:
27 Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh: shall any thing be hard for me?
Se, jeg er HERREN, alt Køds Gud; skulde noget være mig for underfuldt?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it.
Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i kaldæernes og Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels Hånd, og han skal idtage den;
29 And the Chaldeans that fight against this city, shall come and set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they offered sacrifice to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath.
og Kaldæerne, der angriber denne By, skal komme og sætte Ild på den og afbrænde Husene, på hvis Tage man tændte Offerild for Baal og udgød Drikofre for andre Guder for at krænke mig.
30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Juda, have continually done evil in my eyes from their youth: the children of Israel who even till now provoke me with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
Thi fra deres Ungdom af har Israeliterne og Judæerne kun gjort, hvad der var ondt i mine Øjne; thi Israeliterne gør ikke andet end krænke mig ved deres Hænders Værk, lyder det fra HERREN.
31 For this city hath been to me a provocation and indignation from the day that they built it, until this day, in which it shall be taken out of my sight.
Ja, en Kilde til Vrede og Harme har denne By været mig, lige fra den Dag de byggede den og til i Dag, så at jeg må fjerne den fra mit Åsyn
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Juda, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
for alt det ondes Skyld, som Israeliterne og Judæerne gjorde for at krænke mig, de deres Konger, Fyrster, Præster og Profefer, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere.
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: when I taught them early in the morning, and instructed them, and they would not hearken to receive instruction.
De vendte Ryggen og ikke Ansigtet til mig, og skønt jeg advarede dem årle og silde, vilde de ikke høre eller tage ved Lære.
34 And they have set their idols in the house, in which my name is called upon, to defile it.
De opstillede deres væmmelige Guder i det Hus, mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;
35 And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to consecrate their sons and their daughters to Moloch: which I commanded them not, neither entered it into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and cause Juda to sin.
og de byggede Baals Offerhøje i Hinnoms Søns Dal for at ofre deres Sønner og Døtre til Molok, hvad jeg ikke havde budt dem, og hvad aldrig var i min Tanke, at man skulde gøre så vederstyggelig en Ting for derved at lokke Juda til Synd.
36 And now, therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to this city, whereof you say that it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
Men nu, så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne By, som I siger er givet i Babels Konges Hånd med Sværd, Hunger og Pest:
37 Behold I will gather them together out of all the lands to which I have cast them out in my anger, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation: and I will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell securely.
Se, jeg vil samle dem fra alle de Lande, som jeg har bortstødt dem til i min Vrede og Harme og i stor Fortørnelse, og føre dem hjem til dette Sted og lade dem bo trygt.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
De skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud;
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all days: and that it may be well with them, and with their children after them.
og jeg vil give dem eet Hjerte og een Vej, så de frygter mig alle Dage, at det må gå dem og deres Sønner efter dem vel.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me.
Jeg slutter en evig Pagt med dem, at jeg ikke vil drage mig tilbage fra dem, men gøre vel itnod dem; og min Frygt lægger jeg i deres Hjerter, så de ikke viger fra mig.
41 And I will rejoice over them, when I shall do them good: and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.
Jeg vil glæde mig over dem og gøre vel imod dem; og jeg planter dem i dette Land i Trofasthed af hele mit Hjerte og hele min Sjæl.
42 For thus saith the Lord: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil: so will I bring upon them all the good that I now speak to them.
Thi så siger HERREN: Som jeg bragte al denne store Ulykke over dette Folk, således vil jeg bringe over dem alt det gode, jeg taler til dem om.
43 And fields shall be purchased in this land: whereof you say that it is desolate, because there remaineth neither man nor beast, and it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
End skal der købes Marker i det Land, som I siger er en Ørken uden Mennesker og Kvæg og givet i Kaldæernes Hånd;
44 Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be written, and sealed, and witnesses shall be taken, in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, in the cities of Juda, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: for I will bring their captivity, saith the Lord.
man skal købe Marker for Penge og skrive Skøder og forsegle dem og tilkalde Vidner i Benjamins Land, i Jerusalems Omegn, i Judas Byer, i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.
