Jeremiah 49
1 Unto the children of Ammon thus saith the Lord, Hath Israel no sonnes? or hath he none heire? Why then hath their king possessed God? and his people dwelt in his cities?
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 Therefore beholde the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that I will cause a noyse of warre to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites, and it shall be a desolate heape, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire: then shall Israel possesse those that possessed him, sayeth 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 Howle, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted: crie ye daughters of Rabbah: girde you with sackecloth: mourne and runne to and from by the hedges: for their King shall goe into captiuitie; and his Priestes, and his princes likewise.
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 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleis? thy valley floweth away, O rebellious daughter: she trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come vnto 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 Beholde, I will bring a feare vpon thee, sayth the Lord God of hostes, of all those that be about thee, and ye shalbe scattered euery man right foorth, and none shall gather him that fleeth.
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 And afterward I will bring againe the captiuitie of the children of Ammon.
Men siden vender jeg Ammoniternes Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.
7 To Edom thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: Is wisdome no more in Teman? is counsel perished from their children? is their wisdome vanished?
Om Edom. Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Er der ikke mer Visdom i Teman, svigter de kloges Raad, er deres Visdom raadden?
8 Flee, ye inhabitants of Dedan (they are turned backe, and haue consulted to dwell) for I haue brought the destruction of Esau vpon him, and the time of his visitation.
Fly, søg Ly i det dybe, I, som bor i Dedan! Thi Esaus Ulykke sender jeg over ham, Straffens Tid.
9 If the grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leaue some grapes? if theeues come by night, they will destroy till they haue ynough.
Gæstes du af Vinhøstmænd, levner de ej Efterslæt, af Tyve om Natten, ødelægger de, hvad de lyster.
10 For I haue discouered Esau: I haue vncouered his secrets, and he shall not be able to hide himselfe: his seede is wasted, and his brethren and his neighbours, and there shall be none to say,
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 Leaue thy fathers children, and I will preserue them aliue, and let thy widowes trust in me.
Lad mig om dine faderløse, jeg holder dem i Live, dine Enker kan stole paa mig.
12 For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, they whose iudgement was not to drinke of the cuppe, haue assuredly drunken, and art thou he that shall escape free? thou shalt not goe free, but thou shalt surely drinke of it.
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 haue sworne by my selfe, sayeth the Lord, that Bozrah shall be waste, and for a reproche, and a desolation, and a curse, and all the cities thereof shall be perpetuall desolations.
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 I haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent vnto the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise vp to the battell.
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 loe, I will make thee but small among the heathen, and despised among men.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig iblandt Folkene, foragtet blandt Mennesker.
16 Thy feare, and ye pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee, thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rocke, and keepest the height of ye hil: though thou shouldest make thy nest as hie as the eagle, I wil bring thee downe from thece, sayth 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 Also Edom shall be desolate: euery one that goeth by it, shall be astonished, and shall hisse at all the plagues thereof,
Edom skal blive til Rædsel; alle, der kommer forbi, skal slaas af Rædsel og spotte over alle dets Saar.
18 As in the ouerthrowe of Sodom, and of Gomorah, and the places thereof neere about, saieth the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the sonnes of men remaine in it.
Som det gik, da Sodoma og Gomorra og Nabobyerne omstyrtedes, siger HERREN, skal intet Menneske bo der, intet Menneskebarn dvæle der.
19 Beholde, hee shall come vp like a lyon from the swelling of Iorden vnto the strong dwelling place: for I will make Israel to rest, euen I will make him to haste away from her, and who is a chosen man that I may appoynt against her? for who is like mee? and who will appoint me the time? and who is the shepheard that will stande 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 Therefore heare the counsell of the Lord that hee hath deuised against Edom, and his purpose that hee hath conceiued against the inhabitants of Teman: surely the least of the flocke shall drawe them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate 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 mooued at the noyse of their fall: the crie of their voice is heard in the red Sea.
Ved Braget af deres Fald skal Jorden skælve; Skriget kan høres til det røde Hav.
22 Behold, he shall come vp, and flie as the Egle, and spreade his wings ouer Bozrah, and at that day shall the heart of the strong men of Edome be as the heart of a woman in trauaile.
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 Vnto Damascus he sayeth, Hamath is confounded and Arpad, for they haue heard euill tidings, and they are faint hearted as one on the fearefull sea that can not rest.
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 is discouraged, and turneth her selfe to flight and feare hath seased her: anguish and sorowes haue taken her as a woman in trauaile.
Damaskus er modfaldent, vender sig til Flugt, Angst falder over det, Vaande og Veer griber det som en fødende Kvinde.
25 How is the glorious citie not reserued, the citie of my ioy?
Ve det! Forladt er den lovpriste By, Glædens Stad.
26 Therefore her yong men shall fall in her streetes, and all her men of warre shall be cut off in that day, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Derfor falder dets Ynglinge paa dets Torve, alle Krigsfolkene omkommer paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, which shall cosume the palaces of Benhadad.
Jeg sætter Ild paa Damaskus's Mur, og den skal fortære Benhadads Borge.
28 Vnto Kedar, and to the kingdomes of Hazor, which Nebuchad-nezzar, king of Babel shall smite, thus sayeth the Lord, Arise, and goe vp vnto Kedar, and destroy the men 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 shall they take away: yea, they shall take to themselues their curtaines and all their vessels, and their camels, and they shall crie vnto them, Feare is on euery 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 Flee, get you farre off (they haue consulted to dwell) O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord: for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel hath taken counsell against you, and hath deuised a purpose against you.
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 Arise, and get you vp vnto the welthy nation that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which haue neither gates nor barres, but dwel alone.
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 shall be a bootie, and the multitude of their cattel a spoile, and I will scatter them into all windes, and to the vtmost corners, and I will bring their destruction from al the sides thereof, sayeth 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 shall be a dwelling for dragons, and desolation for euer: there shall no man dwell there, nor the sonnes of men remaine in it.
Hazor bliver Sjakalers Bo, en Ørken til evig Tid; der skal ej bo et Menneske, ej dvæle et Menneskebarn.
34 The woordes of the Lord that came to Ieremiah the Prophet, concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reigne of Zedekiah King of Iudah, saying,
HERRENS Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias om Elam i Kong Zedekias af Judas første Regeringstid:
35 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will breake the bowe of Elam, euen the chiefe of their strength.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg knækker Elams Bue, det ypperste af deres Kraft;
36 And vpon Elam I will bring the foure windes from the foure quarters of heauen, and will scatter them towardes all these windes, and there shall bee no nation, whither the fugitiues of Elam shall 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 For I will cause Elam to be afraied before their enemies, and before them that seeke their liues, and will bring vpon them a plague, euen the indignation of my wrath, saieth the Lord, and I wil sende the sworde after them till I haue consumed 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 And I wil set my throne in Elam, and I wil destroy both the King and the princes from thence, saith the Lord:
Jeg rejser min Trone i Elam og tilintetgør der baade Konge og Fyrster, lyder det fra HERREN.
39 but in the latter daies I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Elam, sayeth the Lord.
Men i de sidste Dage vender jeg Elams Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.
